I recently had liquid damage and they charged me 800$ to fix it. Even tho I had AppleCare.
I should be more angry, but I did spill the liquid on my Macbook :(
― Mordy, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 06:55 (fifteen years ago) link
They fixed my liquid damage for free, but I did leave it for a while before I took it in and played the I don't know why my keyboard has stopped working/all the fans make grinding noises etc.

what's the deal with this immersion-sensor stuff, though? i thought that was specially designed so apple could go: "no wai, ed: at 11.08am on june 23 you poured liquid all over this ... tea with skimmed milk and two sugars, if i'm not mistaken." or something.
― remorseful prober (grimly fiendish), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 11:36 (fifteen years ago) link
It was brandy in my case and clearly the immersion sensor did not get immersed even though half the keyboard and two fans got fritzed.
― something less awful (Ed), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 11:55 (fifteen years ago) link
will keep this in mind in case next time i spill liquid on my computer, it does damage.
― Maria, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 13:27 (fifteen years ago) link
so basically brandy is ok to spill on it??
― s1ocki, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 13:48 (fifteen years ago) link
Not sure about all brandy but this one seems to be okay

what is the difference between armagnac and brandy?
― caek, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 14:04 (fifteen years ago) link
armagnac is brandy from the armagnac region in south west france. That one is a personal favourite and it is still under 20 quid a bottle from Nicholas.

it's also the only mac-compatible kind apparently

So I lost the cable for connecting my iPod to my laptop. I’ve tried a few of my coworkers’ cables/charging stations but my iPod does not charge and my iTunes does not see my iPod. What the fuck. Do I just have to go to the Apple store and buy another one because there’s some bullshit proprietary “one iPod=one cable” thing involved here or what…? Anyone ever had this problem?
― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 19:00 (fifteen years ago) link
The only time this is a problem is if you try using the older Firewire cables -- they work for charging, but the Mac won't connect to most modern iPods: has to be USB.
― stet, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 19:02 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm not using a Mac, I'm using a PC. I borrowed some of my coworkers USB cables and my iPod doesn't charge and my iTunes doesn't see the iPod. What the fuck. Is this like a generational problem or something?

I recently had seed damage and they charged me 800$ to fix it. Even tho I had AppleCare.
I should be more angry, but I did spill the seed on my Macbook :(

Is this like a generational problem or something?
No. All the USB-iPod cables are identical. The dock port hasn't changed since the 3G iPod.

― Kramkoob (Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 19:31 (fifteen years ago) link
all my USB ports are working. my iPod was working prior to me losing the cable. I cannot find a cable that works. That is my problem.

was trying to use google video chat w/ my brother today on macbook and he couldn't hear me. actually he could hear a tiny bit of noise and something faint if i screamed HELLO. why doesn't my built-in mic work?
― horrible (harbl), Wednesday, 12 November 2008 23:48 (fifteen years ago) link
goto system prefs ---> Sound ---> Input
the mic volume might be turned down
― i love to hear this again and again (gbx), Thursday, 13 November 2008 00:57 (fifteen years ago) link
nope, tried that. the input level thing blinks a tiny bit when it hears sound, but talking doesn't make it go up and down like normal.

OK, apple wireless networking question:
we have an airport extreme and an airport express. the airport extreme is upstairs in the living room, running an 802.11n network at 2.4 ghz. the airport express is downstairs, in a bedroom, connected to a stereo for itunes and a printer for wireless printing.
we just bought a time capsule, and i'm trying to figure out what to do with it.
1) run a parallel network on 5-ghz 802.11n only, with the airport express extending this network. keep the airport extreme on 2.4 ghz for an old powerbook and for iphones.
2) put it in a different spot downstairs and use it to extend the existing network.
3) ??

For what it's worth, I get a lot better performance outta 5GHz than 2.4.
― яσσʍ♭ⱥȵℹҁᔔ ᴗȵȴℹʍℹȶ∊∂ (libcrypt), Monday, 29 December 2008 07:05 (fifteen years ago) link
put it in a different spot downstairs to extend network. that's what I do.

― Mr. Snrub, Monday, 29 December 2008 11:53 (fifteen years ago) link
Extending the network kills performance every time I've tried it.
― stet, Monday, 29 December 2008 16:47 (fifteen years ago) link
don't get an iPhone, if you have to have that stuff just get an ipod touch and save yourself hundreds and hundreds of dollars

I told my wife as I went out to run an errand yesterday, "If you need me for anything, just message me through Facebook."
― өөө (Pleasant Plains), Monday, 29 December 2008 16:51 (fifteen years ago) link
extending the network works fine for me. Check your settings. I think you set it to "bridge" or some shit.
― Dandy Don Weiner, Monday, 29 December 2008 17:36 (fifteen years ago) link
the ipod touch is not a phone
― cutty, Monday, 29 December 2008 17:41 (fifteen years ago) link
also an iphone is $199, so you mean hundred and hundred of dollars
― cutty, Monday, 29 December 2008 17:42 (fifteen years ago) link
The only thing putting me off of an iTouch is you have to be near a hotspot. I'd love to get a data-only plan for an iPhone somehow.
