Why when Apple could not find my problem while it was under warranty must I know pay for support after the warranty is up now that the problem is known it was misdiagnosed?

I brought my macbook pro into the the apple store and left if overnight around 6 weeks ago (warranty expired 3 weeks ago). They did everything that I DO at home and found nothing that was causing my infinite pinwheel. Since the pinwheel is typically hardware related, I want to know why more was not done considering my macbook pro was kept over night. It seems that there is some hardware failing. I reinstalled the OS to help and it did for about 2 weeks, but now, everything is back to pinwheel. I don't care if I have to pay for the Hard drive replacement, but I had zero resolution.
I already
- reinstalled OS
- repaired disk (there were some corrupt areas)
- repaired disk permissions (which is what the genius did)
- booted into safe mode and restarted
- turned power management off for the graphics (this did speed up the macbook a little)
besides my pinwheel, here are a few other symptoms
- when I click on the apple, it takes 5 seconds for the menu to show. in fact, it takes that long for any menu from the bar to show.
- when I try to open pages or word, it takes aroud 45 seconds
- using file open for browseing causes pinwheel
- when i try switching to an open program for editting (pages and word), the menu does not change to active application
- clicking on + to add a tab in safari causing pinwheel
- at log in screen, when attempting to type password, the first character causes pinwheel for over 1 minute.
- Once I am "logged in" when my desktop begins to show, any attempt to click on the apple logo to pull up system info or start activity monitor causs several minutes of pinwheel.
- cmd-tab does not work when pinwheel is showing
- 10 minutes after boot, nothing continues to respond
Now, the one thing I shoudl point out...the macbook was hanging during itunes update and now the persmissions cannot be fixed.
Here is the real kicker. I have bootcamp installed with windows 7. Everything works as designed in windows. No hangs, no freezes, fast apps, good video. In fact, I can listen to itunes, while havingt every MS office application open and multitask in them all with no system degredation.
So my real question that apple cannot answer and maybe a real genius can...How can I get my macbook to run as intended.
Can a Hard drive that is on the verge of breaking run the partitions and operating systems so differently? Is this what happens to the stage coach (macbook pro) at midnight (expired warranty)...it turns into a pumpkin (windows laptop). 
Thanks for reading my vent and thanks in advance for any help.

I am very happy to report that my server connection tech, which I called via landline, informed me to : 1. Open Tools 2. Scan down to Clear Recent History 3. Delete All. That was it! Unbelievable! Six hours of searching through the Windows catagories. I checked the results on an internet site, and viola! It was gone! Mozilla Firefox seems to remember the usernames and passwords irregardless of the option window that asks if you if want it to remember the user and password. I finally got in touch with my friend and he said he did not answer yes to the window, even though he was aware of it. No damage. I surely do appreciate everyones' concern in this, now what seems to be, a very simple solution. Cudos to Firefox! Thank-you! P.S. I now have to enter my information at the beginning of any password protected sites...no harm done! My friend is now condemned to the 'user account' site! lol...

    Make sure that your date and time settings and time zone are accurate (Settings - General - Date and Time). Reset your phone to 'Set Automatically' and then try signing in again - this worked for me.  My date/time settings were not automatic (candy crush cheats!!).

  • Why this message "Could not find layout Default Echo GB"

    Why am I getting the message "Could not find layout Default Echo GB"  i.e. no Reverb effects?

    I get the same message and it would be interested if others have the same issuesthat is general bug
    The new GB 10.0.3 now lets you edit the Master Tracks Effects (Reverb and Echo), the legacy ones from GB11. However, when you click the Edit button at the bottom of the Plugin area on a Track, the Smart Controls window switches to to the Master Track and selects the (new) Effects tab. And this is where it gets stuck. It seems that it can't find the Plugin Settings. Maybe a file path issue.
    Anybody had luck to accessing those settings?
    Hope that helps

  • Could not find Main Class while executing JAR

    Hello all,
    I am having a simple Jar file that contains one java class that merely displays a window. I am using NetBeans IDE to create the JAR file. When i execute this JAR file by double clicking on the file, it works fine on the machine. However, if i try to execute this same file on any other windows computer, it gives an error "Could not find the main class. Program will exit."
    In other words, the JAR file is only working on the computer that has NetBeans and JDK installed on. Not on any other machine. Although the other machines have the JAVA Virtual Machine installed.
    I would appreciated any help on this topic.

    I had the same problem (i.e. Message-Box with "Could not find the main class. Program will exit.")
    After insuring that the manifest contained a Main-Class: argument and that the argument pointed to the right class, I started the jar via java -jar myjar.jar and read the stacktrace, which is much better than the popup-window.
    In my case the error was, that the Main-Class could not be loaded due to another referenced class, which was not on the classpath. (i.e. it was not in the same jar-File and the manifest didn't include a Class-Path: argument.)
    After adding the correct Class-Path: argument in the manifest, the problem went away.
    I now have the following setup:
    myjar.jar and somethirdparty.jar in the same directory.
    myjar.jar contains a manifest which includes the lines
    Class-Path: somethirdparty.jar
    Main-Class: my.package.and.MainClassafter the normal Manifest-header.

  • Could not find file ERROR while connecting to access (mdb) file

    I am getting the following error while connecting to the database:

    Following is my code:

              for(int i=1;i<=rsmd.getColumnCount();i++) {
                   out.println(rs.getString(i));
    %>
    What could be the problem..??
    Thankx in advance..
    Satish.

    Got the solution.
    The statement:
    ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery("select * from Database1.Employee");
    should be changed as:
    ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery("select * from Employee");
    Now, it is working fine.

  • "Could Not Find Installable ISAM" While Refreshing Access Query Connection

    This error occurs when an Excel 2010 client attempts to refresh a connection to a Microsoft Access DB (*.accdb file) query.
    This query was previously working in Excel 2010, but stopped working the first time Access 2013 was used to save the database file.  The query remains working perfectly from an Excel 2013 client.
    Given the above, I don't think it is an issue with the connection string:
    Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;User ID=Admin;Data Source=W:\Data\SLA\Contacts.accdb;Mode=Share Deny Write;Extended Properties="";Jet OLEDB:System database="";Jet OLEDB:Registry Path="";Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=6;Jet OLEDB:Database Locking Mode=0;Jet OLEDB:Global Partial Bulk Ops=2;Jet OLEDB:Global Bulk Transactions=1;Jet OLEDB:New Database Password="";Jet OLEDB:Create System Database=False;Jet OLEDB:Encrypt Database=False;Jet OLEDB:Don't Copy Locale on Compact=False;Jet OLEDB:Compact Without Replica Repair=False;Jet OLEDB:SFP=False;Jet OLEDB:Support Complex Data=False;Jet OLEDB:Bypass UserInfo Validation=False;Jet OLEDB:Limited DB Caching=False;Jet OLEDB:Bypass ChoiceField Validation=False
    From a client's machine that is using Office 2010, I opened the DB in Access and executed the query fine.  Switching back to the Excel file that has the connection I noted it still failed.
    So, still in Excel 2010, I created a new workbook and setup a new fresh connection to the DB.  It worked fine.  So I compared the connection string it built and it was different.  So it's down to this:
    And one other example from a different Excel workbook connecting to a different query in the same DB. Same issue.  Whatever connection string 2013 Excel generates, is not backward-compatible with Excel 2010:
    Shawn Keene

    Thank for your feedback, Shawn.
    I have no idea why we would get the such error when we save the db via Access 2013.  Adn as my mind this problem is data platform
    relevant. We may post a thread to post a thread to the following forum to get more help.

  • "could not find dialog id" exceptions in rtr

    Pardon my lack of knowledge on this piece of ICM but that is why i am here.  I wish to better understand how a dialog is established between ICM-CVP as I believe that is the dialog id that the below exeception is referencing.
    The environment I'm currently involved in is experiencing a lot of errors like this:
    13:10:08:167 ra-rtr Trace: For message (9) from routing client CVP2_RC (ID 5023) could not find dialog id (376431).

    Is the router responsibile for establishing a dialog id w/CVP at the start of each call?  Why are all the the dialog id's from our CallManager Routing Clients NULL or (-1)? 
    Is the dialog id dependent upon the correlation id?  I'm not seeing dialog failures due to correlation id issues.. just lots and lots of cases of routing clients unable to locate their dialog ids
    Could someone provide some context on what/how dialogs are establish, used for, and maybe reasons why they could be lost from a router's perpesctive but somehow the routing client is remembering them?

  • ORA-12516: TNS:listener could not find ... on Windows Server 2003

    We are getting "ORA-12516: TNS:listener could not find available handler" while testing asp.net web application.
    We have following configuration:
    - A 10g database server on Windows Server 2000
    - A Web Server running IIS6 on Windows Server 2003
    - ODP.Net for 10g client installed on Web Server
    we are testing our web app with 75 concurrent users, as far as I can tell we are closing connections in our app and open connection only while retrieving and saving records.
    I saw this error very first time when we upgraded our web server to use 10g client. Before that we were using Oracle 9 client and have tested this app with 100 concurrent users without any error.
    Does anyone can help or point a resource that can help to resolve this error?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You'll likely want to take that up with the networking folks as the error seems to be coming from the Listener.
    How many connections does each instance of your app make? If you make the same number of connections via sqlplus for example rather than ODP, do you see the same results? I know creating 60 or sqlplus sessions may not be fun, but it will help determine if this issue is truly somehow related to ODP. It doesnt seem likely it would be, and if ODP can be removed from the picture, it will be that much easier to troubleshoot.
    One thing I'd suggest though, is to make sure your app is cleaning up after itself properly to as to use resources efficiently. If you have access to My Oracle Support, see the following note:
    Note 730678.1 Oracle Data Provider for .Net Best Practices
    Hope it helps,
    Greg

  • Error: Premiere Pro and Encore: Could not find video play modules

    Please help! I am ripping my hair out!
    I have CS3 Master suite and just reciently started having proiblems with Premiere Pro and Encode where I get an error: "Could not find video play modules, please reinstall and try again"
    I HAVE reinstalled, and still no luck! I have even used the CS3 clean utility, blew away everything ADOBE I could think of, reinstalled -  and that hasn't helped.
    I have a Windows XP (32 bit) SP3 box
    4 GB Ram
    3.167 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor
    Nvidia GeForce GTX 285 video card.
    All drivers are up to date.
    I heard it could be a CODEC problem, but I do not know where or how to get the correct or missing CODECs.   I also have AVID Media Composer 3.5 insalled on the box, but I'm not sure if that is creating conflict (it used to work before - not sure what happened).
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks
    Ryan

    Ryan,
    Could be a CODEC issue. First, get G-Spot and install/run it on your files. It will tell you exactly what they are, and what you need, if it shows them as not being installed.
    Might be as simple as going to, say MainConcept's site, downloading and installing just the right CODEC. Without the info from G-Spot, we'd only be guessing.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    Tip: always install JUST the CODEC's that are required. Do not install any CODEC "packs." They will most likely give you problems someplace.

  • Fix MSBuild error = Could not find .datasource file

    Hi,
    I have a VS2010 solution that I opened in VS2013 and followed the automatic conversion process.  After that I edited the TFS build process template to remove the extraneous references to Version=10.0.0.0 which were duplicated due to a VS2010 bug (I
    found a blog by an MS employee that pointed to this issue).  The solution builds fine from my VS2013 but when I submit it to TFS build server using the modified build process template, I get an error (please see attached) referring to missing .datasource
    file for one of the WCF projects.
    What could I do in terms of possible adding build parameters to the MSBuild or changes to the WCF project to remove this error?
