i regret that i felt forced to try something here.

What has happened with Apple Support?

I convinced my friend to purchase a refurb Macbook Pro last week. I explained "the same warrenty, I've purchase 3 refurbs with no problems, yada yada".
His MBP shows up with a "5th leg" under the Superdrive! Dented from the inside out. We found this out when we tried to start installing some software via DVD and the DVD got jammed inside and wouldn't eject (and sounding like it was shredding said DVD). Finally after a small pair of tweezers and a quick hand, I was able to snag the end of the dvd and "help it out".
I told my friend how sorry I was, and explained that we will ship it back and Apple will surely just ship another refurb to him.
Currently, he has spoken with 6 different people, over an hour of phone time, and none have followed through with not even a return number! Plus, each and evey new "tech" that he speaks to wants his name, order number, address, credit card, and probably his favorite color!
What has happened? I have been praising Apple for 25 years, and now I'm just embarrassed (for me and Apple).
Had to vent, and was wondering if anyone else has had this experience lately?

Your friend only needs a single 'yes' to resolve this. Tell him/her to hang in there! Insist on good service. It is definitely owed.
I have found that dedicating the time to get it done, and then not accepting any answer except the ethically right one, will achieve the right result. I would bet the call center folks are trained to drag feet on giving return authorizations on refurbs. That is an institutional thing that is not particular to just Apple. The ignored problem often will just go away. On a call to support the need is to insist on going uphill to supervisor and then manager and not hang up until a equitable solution is arrived at. Polite, unfazed - insistant.
We all hate it when an error like this makes Apple look small.

What has happened with Safari?

Safari 6.0.4 on retina MacBook Pro, practically ALL images on the web are blurry now. I mean, even the Google doodle image for example or just about any image on any webpage. I'm kinda new to Safari (and Mac) but this was definitively not the case with previous version.
This is not happening with Firefox or Chrome, but with the built-in browser? Any input on this?

Hi Mike,
Try navigating to..
System Preferences > QuickTime > 'Advanced' Tab > 'MIME Settings'
.. and uncheck 'Images/PDF image'. Restart Safari.

What has happened to Forums this week ?

It appears from the dates on threads that the forums have been out of action for three days.
Have messages posted during that period disappeared ? I posted one yesterday with no errors but there is no sign of it.

Don't know if it was a coincidence but there was a power cut and some server got reset - a service request was raised and it should be fixed but but I think what happened is that all questions posted during the "Problem" have a date of 1999 - so appear way at the end of the list...
Hopefully service as normal....

What has happened with Spotlight? Can't find files anymore. Why?

Apparently I have two iPhoto libraries. When I use Spotlight to find them, I get an iPad user guide as the first return. One library is in Pictures. If I search that Finder folder for iTunes Library, search finds nothing. If I search that folder for iPhoto it returns iPhoto Slideshows, a file that follows after the iPhoto library file. If I use Spotlight, it returns hundreds of unrelated files. Not useful.
If I double-click the library in Pictures, I get this message in iPhoto: Do you want to switch the current iPhoto Library from “iPhoto Library” to “iPhoto Library” and relaunch iPhoto?
I suspect if I do, I'll never find the library that is now open. How'd I get two libraries? I didn't do that.
My main question: Why doesn't Spotlight return the location of the file I'm looking for?
Seems to me I've been finding files very efficiently with Spotlight for years, but this new version is almost useless.

Yes, I've done that. I just did it again in response your suggestion. Had a fusion disk problem s few days ago; had to wipe it and restore so I'm working with a clean system. Should have been indexed... I dropped my whole hard disk in the privacy space; nothing happened. Then I dropped iMac Home; I could see it was indexing. But nothing changed...
Today the problem was searching for a library and I wondered if Spotlight is coded to not find such Apple created fundamentals.... But daily, no matter what I'm searching for, even if I find it, it is not as efficient as it used to be.
Maybe I'm just a grouchy old man, but it seems to me Spotlight was better before it was improved.

What has happened with Quality with an Acer Product?

My son purchased an Acer Aspire E1 in the Spring of 2014, the Hard Drive failed within 8 months. No problem, the warranty took care of it. I now have had the Hard Drive replaced again within the 7 months of the factory replaced one. Acer's tech support lured me in to purchasing their Recovery Thumb Drive, saying it would solve the problem. To find out that when trying to boot up, a message displays L:/MAPP is missing. Took it to a Reputable Computer Repair Center, they replaced the Hard Drive. When you try to contact Acer about their product failing, then having it Factory replaced, only to fail again, you get some 3rd party,from a foreign land, who also wants money to talk to you. I want someone from ACER to refund some or all the cost of replacing their Hard Drive, which should of came with a warranty,since they replaced it, and the refund of the Recovery Thumb Drive, that wasn't needed to fix Acers problematic Hard Drive. My son uses the Acer's laptop for every day normal use. No gaming downloads, no 100,000 picture down loads, just to be used for collegic activities. I have a Dell Inspiron that has lasted me 4 years and counting. Well Acer, are you going to help a DAD out of possible Acer production quality failure??

Use their Recovery thumbdrive they gave you and format it. Then save your son's data on it. Unplug the thumbdrive and carry the laptop out to the garbage and drop it in the can. Go out and buy a new laptop from a company that actually provides support.

I have used Firefox for years with no problem. For the past 2 weeks it has crashed repeatedly after 1 to 15 minutes. What has happened? Is it the updates?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

Is there log on Vista which could give me clues what has happened before freezing of Vista ?

Hi,
I have a Lenovo 3000 Y200 with Vista SP1.
I upgraded to SP1 a week ago, and since then I get the following:
After the laptop is left without user interaction for a few hours, I come to a blank screen, and the OS is frozen (though the three LEDs in the bottom are lighted).
Only option is electrical power off/on.
Is there a log file on the system which could give me clues what has happened before this freezing of the Vista ?
Thanks,
Ron.

Hello,
simply fill in Vista searchbar at start: Event Viewer
Or go to start, control panel, computer administration, there should be the event manager.

I don't know what has happened but I can't open iPhoto. When I try to open it I receive a caution "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." How do I solve this??!!

I don't know what has happened but I now can't open iphoto. I get a caution when I try which says the iphoto library is locked! It was working perfectly fine this afternoon until I tried to upload some photos from my camera and my computer started to run very slow and wasn't recognising my camera. I tried to quit iphoto and then when I came back in to it, this was the message I received. As far as I am aware I didn't alter any settings or put on any locks. Please help!!

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I have had iTunes on my laptop for about 6 yrs and all of a sudden it has stopped working. I am receiving an Error 6034 message. I uninstalled and tried to reinstall and keep getting the message. What has happened?

I have had my laptop for about 5 or 6 yrs. I have had iTunes on it since I have had it. All of sudden my iTunes has stopped working. I am receiving an Error 6034 message. What has happened? I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall but did not help. I am still getting the message. I am not having any problems with it on any of my other devices. Thanks for any help that anyone can give me. mproffitt

I use to stream music from my iphone to my airport express via my stereo, it no longer is an option on the radio app. what has happened?

Not sure what has happened to my airport expres but I can no longer stream music to my stereo via the TuneIn Radio app or using my macbook pro, need help in fixing this problem.

UPDATE:
I have been stress testing StreamToMe in the house and "out in the wild" and it is working very well. There are one or two clunky steps in order to switch from the in-my-house wifi to the cellular network but it's just better (to me) than uploading about 750 GB of music that is restricted by iTunes rules and limitations to "the cloud". The major advantage is that this solution plays more file formats than iTunes will. In addition, I can access music files anywhere on my mac - even if they are not in my iTunes library. Playlists from iTunes are available, too.
I am not associated with this company in any way. I am astounded that there are not more solutions available and that there are not more people discussing this issue. Subscription models like Spotify are great and the cloud is fine for those that don't have large libraries But when I have a humongous library and I don't want to move it around up and down to someone else's server or pay to access it after I have already paid for it I find the lack of ease of doing this baffling.
I hope that this info can help someone looking for information relating to this type of solution...

Once I downloaded the new IOS 5.0 I've lost all of my photos that were stored on my PC, and I no longer have access to them on the IPOD. Cannot figure out what has happened. Please help.

Thanks lllaass, but I am not computer literate and do not understand exactly what it is I am supposed to do. All of my photos were stored on Microsoft Windows Live Photo Gallery. When I now access the gallery the only thing that is there are the folders with the title of the folders. The pictures that were in those folders are now gone. I can no longer access them on my IPOD either. My photo library on my IPOD is now empty.
Thanks again for your help.

Transferred backed-up data from external hard disk to new hard drive on my MacBook Pro which seemed to be successful. I now find that some (or maybe all) old emails have been resent. Can anyone tell me what has happened?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Original problem I noticed was that regular websites I go to (such as msn) were only partially downloading. I could see the text on the site but no pictures or videos. All web surfing was extremely slow. When I would go to a site such as man I would see another address in the lower left corner for "ads1.msads.net" or "cdn.optimizely.com" that is was trying to connect to. I tried using all three of my browsers (firefox, safari, chrome) and got the same response on all browsers. After I spent some time researching the issue I decided I probably had a adware/malware problem so I decided to try adwaremedic.com. I could also not access that site along with thesafemac.com or apple.com. I was also getting the same response on my other devices (iPhone, iPad, and a mac air). I could not access any of these sites on any of my devices although I could get to almost any other site although it was very slow. At that point I decided to unplug the router. I also did a number of other things before then to try and manually get rid of any adware. Eventually I got msn back working, apple.com, and the speed was much faster. But, I still can not access adwaremedic and thesafemac.com. I could access these on my phone with 3G but not on my wifi. This is where the problem still stands. I am sure I still have some adware on my computer and need to find a way to remove it. I am no techie so the complicated manual fixes are difficult for me to do.

TS1702 Any body know what is happening with this app "eTodo" ? is no more in the iTunes store !

Any body know what is happening with this app "eTodo" ? is no more in the iTunes store !
I have this problem for one year I think and no one can’t solve that,I made 6 screen shots and I will uploading in a few seconds all of them and please just check them !
My problem is: I bought an application last year and after some time I had lost the app from my iTunes store.
Now,what I want to do is: I want to get that app again,but I could not find anywhere in the iTunes store,websites ,nobody could not help me with that
The app has been deleted from everywhere !

If the app is no longer in the store then you won't be able to redownload it. You don't have a copy of it in your computer's iTunes library or on your backup of your downloads/library so that you can sync it back to your phone ?
