Warranty - What exactly is one year of service coverage with Apple?

Hey All..
My MacBook Pro is seriously playing up. I haven't purchased the AppleCare service additional to my computer as I wasn't sure I'd need it...Hmm. Anyways, I have 2 questions:
1) I purchased my MBP on March 7th 2007 (11 months 27days ago..Eek!), is it then too late to purchase AppleCare with the fact my MBP is feeling a little shaky?
2) What exactly does one year of service coverage at an Apple-authorized repair center mean? Does this cover me for any repairs that they do to my machine..or is that only covered in the 90 day of "Complimentary" support? I am confused to the difference between the 90 days and the 12 month support. Would love to know anyones opions on this as I have to move fast with a weeks vacation coming up next Friday...many many thanks..

The 90 days is if you want to phone someone up and ask them how to set up your email and that sort of thing.
The hardware warranty is one year, so if you have a hardware problem within the year, Apple will fix for free.
If you have a software problem, then that is not something they'll fix - they give you the Install DVs so that you can get it back to the state it was in on day 1 if you want to.
You can buy and register AppleCare as long as you do it before the warranty expires.
If you paid with a credit card, sometimes they double your warranty for free - so check with them in case they did.
Good luck.
PS - For AppleCare, check out eBay and CompUSa - might be cheaper.

What is the best way to stream sports with Apple TV

What is the best way to stream sports with apple TV

Your question is a little too broad. Hard to know what sports you are talking about.
If you have a newer Mac, you can use airplay to mirror anything on your Mac to your apple tv. Or use the ESPN app.
But a lot of sports just can't be streamed as they are available, though I bet this year sees a lot of new livestreams on sports on YouTube or Ustream.

What is the best mail account to use with Apple Mail?

Hi All, I am a recent convert to Mac from a PC and I am on a sharp learning curve. At present I am trying to use mail on Leapord. I have a Googlemail account which I have tried linking to Apple mail but I seem to get the same issue many others have with send e-mails. What is more, googlmail's All Mail facility is doing my nut in at the moment.
Therefore I was wondering what is the best mail account to use with Apple Mail? I only have a Mackbook and an i-pod nano so subscribing to mobile me at £58/yr just to get the @mac.com account (which I assume would be perfect) seems a little extreme for me.
Are their any other account that work correctly and don't have this All Mail option.
Thanking you in advance.

Hi,
I have 2 issues.
1) I have mail 3.6 and when I set up the mail account via IMAP and STMP I recieve mails ok, but I can not send them. If I do I get the following window pop up.
"can not send message using smtp.googlemail.com server" it tells me my address was rejected by the server.
2) I have 2500 e-mails in my All Mails folder on googlemail. Nearly all of these I delete from my inbox years ago (my bad mailbox management). Google seems to store all my mails. I want to delete these permentaly as they also get downloaded into Apple Mail.
Hope you can help.

Can you explain what exactly cdc mean in data services......?

Hello!
I would like to know what exactly change data capture (cdc) mean in data services......?

Hi sudheer kore
CDC is basically a technical term - Change data capture. We use a few approaches to work capture changed data during ETL process. This can be called incremental approach/ delta loading of data.
Source Based CDC
-Using a timestamp, date, datetime, or int column to uniquely identify the next "band" of rows to be loaded into the delta process in combination with a status table, global variable, and where clauses of the query transform. This is demonstrated in the Tutorial file provided with Data Services in the CDC chapter.
-Using the Database native CDC functionality, available in Oracle, SQL Server and I believe Attunity
Changes are replicated to change tables in the source, marked as insert/update/delete. Data Services can natively read these tables through the use of CDC Datastore objects and Map_CDC_Operation transform.
Target Based CDC
-Must be used if the methods above are not available. The Table_Comparison transform is capable of comparing all source records to the target table to determine if an INSERT or UPDATE is required for that row.
Few links that would explain this better
Source Versus Target Based Change Data Capture

Applecare Extended Warranty: What happens after 3 years?

Does Apple offer an extended warranty beyond the original 3 year extended warranty originally offered? For instance, when my three years of extended warranty runs out, will I be offered a renewal or ??
Thanks in advance,
Mel

Hello Melyssa:
To my knowledge, there is no "extended-extended" warranty. There are a couple of programs that Apple has announced to address specific hardware issues (outside of warranty periods) that have specific expiration dates.

Bad customer service- problems with apple purchasing - 2 apple IDs as living in 2 countries

I purchased iphoto. I have 2 accounts (apple IDs) as I have been living in 2 countries over past 5 years, I mistakenly reloaded the iPhoto with the wrong account. It is not always clear what account the app has been purchased on. Apple was not helpful to reimburse this purchase despite I have leagally purchased this before. This is not good customer service! In addition, this limits use of apple for global people.
Very disappointing! I guess since Steve Job's died, not only product quality went down but also the customer service.

Well, clearly you are very unhappy and as I'm sure you realise, I am just another user like yourself.   But I would still encourage you to try to reach an agreement.
I am sure Apple do not want a disgruntled customer spreading bad vibes and while they won't settle for the sake of it, write to the address below and set out your grievance.   But first review your apps.
Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us
I see you admit to mistakenly downloading iPhoto via the wrong account so they aren't entirely to blame.   And if this is something relating to an original purchase of 5 years ago, if I recall correctly, iPhoto08 was the version then.   Now we are on iPhoto 11 and having passed via iPhoto09. These upgrades were not free, and your records should show which version you have now and which past versions you have had.    Armed with this you will be better able to approach Apple.
Just a suggestion, you understand, I'm not out to defend anyone.

This problem showed up last year spent 2 months with apple senior supervisor for tech support no solution. When the "new" itunes came out problem fixed its self. Just did an update last week or so and back to the problem. In "get info" missing all rt side

Last year upon an update some of my itunes media was not working. Then the new version came out and it fixed itself.
Well another update and we start over with the problem. In the itunes store you can not preview any tv show, music video, or movie.
In your itunes library none of the purchased movies, tv shows, or music videos play. The element the same is in the get info tab. The information in the right side pane in the middle is gone. The left side information is still present. The right side info is the purchase info. Even an item downloaded today had the missing info and will not play. After dealing with apple support with the first go around last year. I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 8 or more times, in the proper order. I deleted my itunes library and reinstalled it. We deleted all types of program files and program data. nothing worked. I was trying things on my own and foung nothing. Please help I am so frustrated with this. It seems to be a codec error that I can not solve.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

What exactly is Update method Master data attrib with a Time dependency ?

Hi Experts,
I have a Update rule in which i have an Update Method "Master Data Attrib of " with Time dependency
basically we are loading (update rule of )   0PAYROLL AREA ,
              at Master data attribute of we have 0EMPLOYEE
              at Time Dependency When reading Master Data END radio button is checked
              frm it is mention as 0CALDAY.
please explain what is function of 0calday here?
I understand that 0PAYROLL AREA is a attribute of 0Employee and since from R/3 we are getting only 0EMPLOYEE so we are filling it from 0employee but what is the significance of 0CALDAY here?
Regards,
RG

Hi RG,
It fills the valid value of 0PAYROLL for a particular 0EMPLOYEE in a particular time frame.
Elaboration.
Say Employee          Payroll                  Valid from          Valid to
        RG                    1000000                 01.01.2007        31.12.2007
        RG                    2000000                 01.01.2008        31.12.2008
        RG                    3000000                 01.01.2009        31.12.2009
The if your transaction data has RG employee in it with a transaction on 0CALDAY = 12.05.2007 then the valid payroll at that time would be 100000.
On Calday 05.05.2009 your payroll would be 300000.........
So for different days different payroll values would be valid.
You require calday to find out which payroll value is valid in the timeframe of a transaction.
In your update rule it is bringin the value of valid attribute value for the time of the transaction.
Hope it helps,
Regards,
Sunmit.

HT4061 what IPAD APP do I need to work with Apple TV?

What ipad app is needed for Apple TV

You also need the patience of a saint and/or a varied list of cuss words :-)
Seriously, oving from Developer to JDevloper is a hard road. Forms is a 4GL and Java is a 3GL. This means you can do a lot more with Java than you can with Forms. It also means you have to do a lot of things in Java that Forms gives you for free.
The Oracle implementation in JDeveloper has some problems; just skim through this forum to get an idea of the range of problems. Some of these are areas where the documentation is inadequate (although it has improved markedly over the last few months), others are bugs in the Oracle APIs. And of course the IDE itself isn't as robust as one would like.
The good news is that Java is a really fun language and cool to work with. Once you've got to grips with it you'll never want to go back.
Good luck

Installed Yosemite om my MacBook Air, resulted in no Sound at all. No input devices no output devices. What can do? Have had 2 meetings with Apple support with no results.

Recently, I installed Yosemite on my MacBook Air. After that I had no sound. Not even the start up chime. In Sound preferences there are no input devices and no output devices. I have had three meetings with Apple support with no results. Can anyone help? This seems to be a regular problem.

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Should i wait to buy applecare for my macbook pro until the one year warranty is almost up?

Would i benefit from waiting till the one year warranty is almost up. Because then i would maximize the time in which it is under warranty right??

If you get AppleCare before 90 days is up you also continue free phone tech support from Apple - so by getting it as early as possible you increase the time you can get free phone support. If you go past 90 days you won't be eligible for free phone support until you get AppleCare, but still get hardware warranty for the full one year from date of purchase.
