Zen Micro - less than a week old - prob
Hi,
I purchased a Zen Micro last Sunday and only got around to loading music onto it last monday night. I was using it last wednesday and it suddenly stopped working, displayed "Rebuilding library", and shortly after that it displayed "firmware problem". I have since tryed deleting the firmware to load a newer version but when I select to delete it doesn't seem to do anything except say "erasing firmware" for an eternity.
How long should this process take?
Thanks
Michael,
Try the other options in the Rescue Mode aswell. If none of them resolve it, you should contact Customer Support directly.

My less than 2 week old iPhone 5 has gone into recovery mode... I've been trying to restore all day using itunes but just as the restore is about to finish, error 21 comes up. My phone is essential for work and this has caused me endless problems today. I am disgusted with this, I need a reliable phone. Please someone help me get it working again?!
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service. -
Less than 1 week old MPB Crashed. Should i be worried?
So i received my MBP on the 3rd of june. Less than one week of using it, it crashed while i was deleting songs off itunes. My screen, mouse, and keyboard froze and unresponsive. Is there something wrong with my mac? or Is there a possibility of that? Should i be worried?
Welcome to Apple Discussions
It's more than likely it was software related not hardware, if you open /Utilities/Console and look around the time of the freeze does it show anything interesting/helpful ?
It won't hurt to run Disc Utility and then select Repair Permissions ... -
Week and a half old iPad Air crashes with light usage of youtube, netflix and safari pages with video links to youtube and vine. The consistency of problems with videos has led me to determine that it must be bugs with iPad Air. Anyone else having this problem?
Details: iPad Air 16gb wifi, have only used about 25% of space and always close all apps before opening another. I also have only had a max of two tabs open on safari of basic internet surfing (i.e. A google search page, or imdb for example). These crashes are annoying as sh......em74 wrote:

I can well imagine that they are.
I would backup, restore to factory settings, restore from the backup and then try again. If that fails, restore again but do not use the backup - restore as new. If the iPad functions OK as new, then slowly rebuild the iPad adding your apps, music etc, methodically to see if you can pin down what might be causing the problem.
if all of that fails, it's time to schedule an appointment at an Apple a Store (must be done online) and have them take a look, or of it is lees than two weeks old, just return it for a refund and buy another one. -
It's less than three weeks old and the paint.s already flaking off..
Imagine my embarassment! Here I am telling all my friends how great my new Macbook is---the high quality---and the mat finish "paint" is already flaking off to the left of the mouse pad. My God! It's like a bad used car! I may hate the Windows OS and love this MacBook but I had no idea that it had some sort of sprayed on finish. Now it looks like crap; it looks old, used and cheap.
And it's not even three weeks old!
Hmmm...has this happened to my three year old HP laptop? No. How about my four year old Gateway? No. Maybe my six month old Toshiba? Nope. Only my over priced MacBook.
Now...why am I posting here? Because I can't get the lame on line service request system to accept my request for assistance in any mode.
"Painted on quality"...worse than the blue screen of death.
Since I can't get any support---the phone number doesn't offer a choice for my problem---maybe I should drive an hour to the nearest Apple store---and stand outside showing everyone who comes by what a seventeen day old MacBook looks like.
Cheesy and disapointing....never again!
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8) First Apple....Probably my lastListen, it really is too bad that this has reportedly happened to your new machine. I am sure that if you take it to a certified apple technician they would send it away for you to be fixed or maybe replaced. I also have dealt with APPLE CARE on the phone and they have been great, in the past. Try to phone the apple care number again and talk to a real person, forget the menu. Having said all that, I still wish that my APPLE was made in USA, even though I would have to pay more, I would.

New Macbook Pro - less than a week old
Hi all,
I just recently got a Macbook Pro, had it for 3 weeks before it got stolen and got it replaced through insurance.
Since getting this new one, I have noticed its considerably slow to start compared my previous one. Anyone can suggest why? before it would make the apple noise instantly and go straight into log in page in matter of few seconds but now it takes a while.... like 10 to 20 seconds... any suggestions??I have phoned up Apple to ask about this... and they said on average MBP should take up about 15 to 20 seconds... and they reckon it seems just about right.. nevertheless they helped me to perform few things... to reset the hardware etc and did step by step apple hardware test... and came up with nothing wrong... so they ensured that its normal..and perhaps my previous one was lucky one with real fast boot up time...
but suggested that i reinstall os x if i was still worried... so have done all that and updated all the softwares etc.. seems just about the same if not marginally faster... so maybe i was just paranoid... i dont know.. but ican assure you guys that the one i had previously was definitely faster eh... hmmm
will try the boot up option later on...and keep you posted. other than that thanks heaps...
oh and i have no other problems... its running smooth as once its up and runing... -
My daughter has a ipod touch 4 generation. It is running iOs 6.1.3. The problem is that it loses its data and reverts back to a new ipod at least twice a week. We connect it to the computer and restore it and it works fine for a few days and then we have to do the whole thing again. If we are not near our computer then we are screwed until we get home. It is less than a year old. I don't want to have to restore every few days for the next several years. All help is greatly appreciated.
A). This is the iPhone forum.
B). If it's less than a year old, it's under warranty. Make an appointment at the genius bar and get it taken care of under warranty. -
my imac is less than 5 months. old tommorow it goes to murcia for ¿repair?.a 25.1 1mac desktop is a formidable piece of workmanship but thatdoes not stop anything going wrong,as ive found out.in the last month it has begun to heat rapidly thus i think causing a graying in the 4 corners of the screen,this is ugly.as i keep my mac in pertfect grace ie free of dust and prints,also it freezes frequently and downright frustrating.has anyone else had similar problems.on a footnote i beleive apple care will come thru shining,but an answer to my question,wich is why in only 5 months has my imac gone wrong.
Sorry to hear you're having issues with your Mac, but just like pretty much everything else, things can go wrong.
The key is what Apple will do about it now that it has gone wrong. Because you are under warranty, contact AppleCare and explain the issues you are experiencing. There is a chance that your iMac may have to be sent in for repair.
My iMac has had issues since first bought in late 2009, in one form or another and has been repaired three times. AppleCare are going to replace the item sometime in the future, I have no idea when, but I have been without a working Mac for over three weeks now, actually it might be over four weeks.
As you said, AppleCare will sort the problem out for you, let's hope it's not a lengthy repair and they get you up and running quickly. -
Is this a lemon? How should Lenovo handle this?
Hello. From very beginning, shortly after purchase, V570 overheated (80-90 degrees Celsius, with screen shots of core temps as proof). Problem went on for several months, burning leg at one point. I called tech support, no call back and no repair scheduled. Kept notes, dates and times of all contact.
I had purchased next day on-site repair service for three years. So when no one called back about problem after ten days, I called back and raised a little pleasant ruckus. Got some action.
On-site tech installed more powerful fan. Helped out with high temps. Tech recommended motherboard to be replaced, since it was probably fried from overheating.
Then, the HDMI port no longer worked. Lenovo took more than a week on this repair. Parts were sent to a technician who was no longer in business, so parts were in Fed Ex limbo. I spent 10 hours on phone (5 hours to the Philippines) trying to straighten out the mess.
Problem escalated. No one from North Carolina or Texas ever calls back. No. Call. Back.
You can imagine my trust factor with Lenovo is zero now.
New mainboard installed. Works fine. Tech leaves. Two hours later, screen is completely black. Nothing. Dead darkness dead dead. Cannot power on. No tricks with power button, recovery button or anything else working.
Called support again about dead machine. Sending out another mainboard for another repair. I do research and realized this is the bad bad bad motherboard that *everyone* here is complaining about. Lots of other dead black screens from it. So, again another two hours on the phone.
Then, I call tech in Philippines back, and say, hey, this is the mainboard that is riddled with problems -- I really do not want to go through this again. They recommend another mainboard, but it's a slower one -- an i5 dual core instead of quad core.
At this point, we're three or four mainboards in, in terms of repairs that have happened and parts coming, on a machine less than a year old.
At what point does Lenovo make the financial or business decision that the best option is to replace the machine rather than paying for four motherboards and on-site repairs?
And, BTW, when I pay hundreds of dollars for a 3-year on-site next-business-day repairs, I mean ON-SITE, NEXT BUSINESS DAY. That's what my contract says, in writing -- I've got it in front of me. That doesn't mean 2-3 business days that all the techs are saying to me.
I've even had several techs say I need to send in my machine, and I say, uh, I have on-site repair, and they say they "need to get approval" to authorize on-site service. **bleep**??
This is the worst customer service and the poorest machines I've ever encountered.
I also have a 2-month old y570, that arrived with a broken battery bay and still the touchpad is as stiff and unusable
as Day One. Both the lower housing/battery bay and the touchpad have to be replaced or repaired.
I'm gathering that others are having as many problems with their machines as I am having with mine. And even when you pay for good service -- you don't get it.
IdeaPads bear no resemblance to the greatness of ThinkPads or the IBM of yesteryear.
Lenovo, please help.Unfortunately, the carrier that you purchased it from is where your warranty channel is. I wish I had a better answer but that is how the system works.
As I mentioned, even if you are within the warranty period and with the same carrier, the warranty is probably void since the device has been disassembled and repaired--they can tell when it's been apart. I've heard of this mirrored issue before and it's usually a hardware problem, as you've already been made aware of by the repair facility you took it to.
I hate to say it but you are probably out of luck on this one. Wish I had something better to tell you.

Earphone bought less than a week ago and this kind of warran
Hi to all out there, I bought a EP 480 earphone less than a week ago and an accident happened while I was listening, someone bumped into me and one side of the earphone wire jus torn and split into 2. I called up earlier to speak to a Creative technical support side employee and he told me the warranty doesnt cover mishandling. Is that true? I mean its like I went to the store last week as my old earphone that came with the mp3 player was spoilt then I bought a new one less than a week ago. It is not as if I purposely wanted to make it spoil and further more it is 39 bucks I do feel the pinch though:robotmad:

Does Your Exchange Calendar Currently Show Events More Than 2 Weeks Old?
Quick question: Can you view any exchange calendar items on your Pre which you have created on your desktop and which are more than two weeks old as you read this post? I can't. After several hours of support chat and then an "elevation" to phone support, I was told by Palm telephone support that this was a new feature after Webos 1.2.1.
However, two things make me doubt that this is true:
1) Other Pre users on precentral.net report that they have installed 1.2.1 and they can still see exchange calendar events older than two weeks.
2) I noticed something really weird: I had deleted my exchange account and was re-adding it in an attempt to solve the problem. The account was syncing but I was watching my screen and it was displaying the monthly view of September, 2009. When the account was almost done syncing, I saw the calendar "flicker" a couple of times and when it did, I could see that there were all my grayed out September dates. Then it said that sync was complete and all events before 9/30/09 disappeared.
SO...I'm thinking that the data is actually in the phone but just not displaying on the calendar! That is really weird and would seem to be a true "bug" to me. For my job, I really need to be able to look back and verify what appointments occurred on what dates in the past. The Iphone and Blackberry users at my office that use the same exchange server can look back months and years at their old events.
If you are reading this could you please reply to let me know if this is a unique issue for me or whether others are having the same experience? I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Joe
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)Very similar issue here. I am syncing my Pre with Google Mail. Don't even ASK what a hassle it was to get my Entourage contacts into Gmail and have everything populate the correct fields. A freakin' NIGHTMARE.
That said, the syncing with synergy seems to work well, with one major drawback. No calendar entries older than two months. This renders my calendar virtually useless. What is the POINT of this stupidity. I am perfectly capable of deciding if I want to use my pre's storage for older entries.
Unbelievable. I really hope palm gets it's head in gear and starts supporting its loyal users. Much more of this, and I will jump to virtually ANY other smart phone. -

Seagate FreeAgent Go is making a clicking sound and the light is rapidly blinking. My Macbook is no longer recognizing it. Is there any way to pull all the songs I have saved on it? The SeaAgent is less than a month old!
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Or at least recover the lost data?
Thanks!How to fix: the drive is in warranty, so contact Seagate for a replacement.
How to recover your data: Do you have backups? (If not, you really, really, should.)
You can try downloading Data Rescue, which will run in trial mode and let you know if the data is recoverable. (You can then choose to purchase the full version if it works for you.) A clicking drive, though, is usually (though not always) a sign that the drive cannot be recovered.

My Apple iPad 3 is less than 6 months old - purchased in March of 2012. I believe it already needs a new battery. It will not hold a charge for very long andvs very slow in starting up a carge when I plug it in. Please advise - it is very annoying.
Take it to Apple Store. You are covered under your 1 year warranty.

I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 and lost all of my contacts. My phone was less than 30 days old and I did not have an account with iCloud prior to the back-up. Any way to restore my contacts or are they lost forever?
I have the exact same problem. I did the update on my iPhone 5 yesterday, opted for the iCloud set up in the update and then it wiped my contacts. They are not on my phone or in the cloud...
