MacBook Pro update:

My local CityMac (no Apple Store here) said after running all of their diagnostics, my MacBook is dead. Still under warranty and they'll have to send it to Apple. I'll have it back in about a week with everything replaced. Greaaaat.

Did they say what was wrong with it?

They didn't know. Said everything was just locked up and they couldn't get it to do anything. Everything is on the cloud so I won't lose any photos or anything, but damn.. I might go buy an iPad Pro with keyboard and sell this thing when I get it back. If it's a lemon, I'll go ahead and sell it while it's a fresh lemon lol. If they replace a logic board or something, does the warranty restart?

My 2011 iMac did do something crazy yesterday. I've been in themiddle of a move working primarily off my Air so I hadn't turned it on in about a month. Fires it up yesterday and it booted to safe mode. Tried to restore from time machine backup on am external HD but the destination HD wasnt showing. I called Apple. They had me go to Disc Utility and erase the HD. Then I was able to restore. It took all night but everything seems to be back in order today.

Thank goodness for Time Machine.

The warranty does not restart, in my experience.

What do you mean? I don't think anyone restarts a warranty after a repair, do they?

Normally if you have a part repaired, that part is under warranty. So like if my logic board crapped out on month 9 and they replace it, it's odd that the new logic board doesn't come with a warranty. Because if they happen to use a faulty part and then my computer stops working again, then I'm SOL. Does that make sense? I don't expect the entire product to be under warranty, just the new part.

It makes complete sense. I just don't know of any warranties that work that way. Maybe I just haven't run across one.

Apple is pretty good with repairs if you go to a store and speak with someone. I've had many things fixed out of warranty for no charge.

MacBook Pro update:

I got the computer back today (in what has to be record time), and they replaced the top case (strange), and the battery. I might actually sell it to CityMac for $900 and buy a new iPad Pro 128gb for $950. They're going to email me the exact amount they'll give for my MBP, so that's what I'm waiting on. Very pleased with the service.

If that works for you then go for it. I couldn't imagine trying to do actual work on an iPad.

If anyone was considering ordering a Peel case for their iPhone, I got mine in the mail today and it's sweet. Feels like I don't even have a case on the phone. So if you like the aesthetics of the iPhone and don't want to ruin it with a bulky Otterbox or whatever, the Peel is a good alternative.

I'm glad they're making the iPhone 7 with a 32gb base. I didn't realize how many photos/videos I would take of my daughter.

Any of you jokers try this iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak? I've done it and it has worked pretty well...but I don't do a ton of tweaks. I mainly do Zeppelin (so I can have a Power T instead of "AT&T" in my status bar), Forecast (shows current weather on lockscreen and, if you swipe to the left it brings up hourly and 7 day forecasts), and Springtomize.

Also, some folks have put up some wallpapers on Twitter recently that look good on the iPhone (I've got the 6s Plus). I'll post them here in case any of you want to use them (hopefully the resolution holds up with me posting them and you downloading them...if not, the twitter user that made them is @cfieldsvfl...and no, I'm not him!):

I'll be due for an upgrade in Sept but the 7 (or will it be the 6SE) doesn't sound like a necessary upgrade. I may wait it out for the 10th anniversary edition.

Have any of you guys heard about weird things happening with the lightning charger on the newer Apple devices?

I saw a video where a guy plugs in a $2 mobile fan into his iphone and it basically rendered his phone useless. It caused it to start glitching and wouldn't let him swipe to another screen, it began randomly opening apps.

Just tonight my sister plugged her iphone into a charger that my parents had been using and it randomly erased all the music on her phone, all the songs were gone. It literally happened in seconds of her plugging it in. Totally weird.
