I have a macbook air bought in 2010 wit liquid damage that might has affected the SSD card. I need to get my data but apple won't help. Authorized dealers never seem to have the same model to try whether the SSD card works. How can I get my data quickly?

Hi
I have a macbook air bought in 2010. It has liquid damage that might or might not affected the SSD card. I need the data on my SSD card for work and I need it urgently. Apparently Apple won't get the data out, even if I have apple care... Licensed apple dealers need to have the same macbook air model so they can insert the SSD card and check whether the data is there, and they never seem to have one...
I'm really disappointed with apple. It's been two weeks and I haven't been able to find out whether the SSD card is holding my data. It can't take that long to do it in store... How can they sell a product and then wash their hands on the matter?
Anyway, enough with the apple rant. I need to get this data urgently so I need to find out how I can get it out of the card. The SSD card and data might be fine so I don't want to take it to a data recovery centre and get charged loads.
Thanks for your help.

See this link for a 4870 card, best instructs for flashing for a noob like me. (last lowest price was $150 for a 1GB vRAM 4870 from TigerDirect).

However, not every 4870 card will work with the ROM currently floating around out there. BEWARE!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

Hello jlb1977,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Best of luck,
Mario

Hello there, AniChirglyan.
The following Knowledge Base article talks a little about the purchasing order of items through the iTunes Store.
iTunes Store: How iTunes Store purchases are billed
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
iTunes may still ask you for information from your card on file if that information has lapsed or needs updating. The card information on file has to be correct, no matter what purchasing option you will be exercising for this purchase.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

I just updated to ios5 but now can't sync because it's telling me my "other" section in the overview has grown to 10.2gig?! What does that "other" section in the overview include and how can I reduce it to get my phone to sync??

Thanks for the help. The restore seems to have solved the problem. I had a bit of a panic attack when things started going haywire and the Apple 'Support' told me to call back during business hours!

I bought an iphone secondhand first generation that now has dead pixels. Impossible for me to get it replaced/fixed by Apple?

As the title says:
I bought an iphone secondhand first generation that now has dead pixels and I'm not sure of the cause. Impossible for me to get it replaced/fixed by Apple? It's obviously more than a year old and there's no added warrantee...

To the best of my recollection, the first-generation iPhone, if that is truly what you have, was never released in Australia, so no, you probably cannot get any service from Apple for that iPhone. You may wish to confirm what model of iPhone you really do have using this information:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939
before you proceed further. Your options will depend on what model of iPhone you really do have, and where that iPhone was originally sold (service is available from Apple only in the country in which the iPhone was originally sold).

I have an iPad2 and recently bought an iPad mini. My husband will take over the iPad 2. How can I get him an iCloud account associated with that iPad and his iPhone 5?

I have an iPad 2 and recently purchased an iPad mini. My husband will take over the iPad2. How can he get an icloud account for this iPad (eliminating me) and his iPhone5?

Delete your iCloud account on the iPad 2, then he can follow the instructions to create his own iCloud account on it:

Then he can setup his own account on his iPhone.

I have a word document that keeps stalling with the spinning ball sign - how can I stop this?

Have a 2009 Macbook Air. Never given me any trouble before. But I am working on a long word document (docx) - 200 pages of text - and after 5 minutes of working on it it starts to stall and the spinning ball comes up every time I try to type or edit. I have tried resaving it as a doc. I have transferred it to my main IMac where the same problem occurs. No other word documents are doing this. This document is a novel, three years in the making, which is due to go off to publishers in a few weeks time so I am rather worried that it is going to be unrescuable. any suggestions?
I have a time machine and so on so it is all backed up, but i want to be able to work on it!
Please help!?

Try this.
Open the document and select and copy a few pages, say ten pages.
Open a new blank document and paste the pages you copied into that.
Save it with a new name.
Work on those new pages to see if the problem has disappeared.
If this helps, continue breaking up the large file in to smaller chunks and working on them
You can of course later reverse the process and merge the files into one new one.
This suggestion is based on my experiences with large Word files. Breaking it up in to smaller chunks does two things. First, if there is any corruption in the old file, the new copies might escape that. Second, the Mac is faster handling the smaller chunks.

I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library. When I tried to transfer it to my iPod shuffle it rearranged the tracks so that they are in the wrong order. How can I put them in the order they appear in the book?

I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library. When I tried to transfer it to my iPod Shuffle it put the chapters in the wrong order i.e. Chap 1, Chap 10, Chap 11 etc. rather than Chap 1, Chap 2, Chap 3 ... How can I get it to put them in the order they appear in the book?

First, we need to know if the audiobook chapters are being treated by iTunes as music files or as audiobooks. If they are not audiobooks purchased from the iTunes store, they might be getting "shuffled". You will need to look at "File" - "Properties" (I think - I don't use iTunes under Windows - or right-click on the file and choose "properties") and look at the media type. If it is "Music", change it to "Audiobook". If this is not the problem, or does not fix anything, please post back.
Actually, looking at your post again, a second thought occurs to me - assuming there are less than 100 chapters in the book, just renaming them with a leading zero on the first nine chapters might do it. A computer will alphabetically sort filenames in the order you quote (1, 10, 11, 12, 13, ... 2, 21, etc.) but a leading zero will fix that (01, 02, 03 ... 10, 11, 12)

My macbook will not shut down. It says that safari has override the shutdown, but when I go to Quit Safari it will not allow it. Is this a virus?

I can't get my Macbook to shut down. When I try to it prompts me saying Safari has override the shutdown, but when I try to close safari it does not respond (and the option is greyed out. Is this a virus,and how do I correct it?

Have you tried a hard shutdown? Hold the power button for about 5-6 seconds, and it will force the computer to power down. (Note that you may lose and unsaved changes)

My Yahoo Mail screen has lost the message pane. How can I recover?

How do I recover my Yahoo Mail screen with all of the panes showing? I can only see the left pane which has the folders and applications. The message pane is off the screen. The option and help drop downs are also off the screen. Normally, these panes can be adjusted but now there is no adjustment capability.

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Cannot get mail message keeps me from using a mail account. Yes I don not remember the password that I used of the user name. How can I reset this?

I don not remember the passwd or the user name for an email account. how do I reset this account?

OK, hubby figured this out for me. Apple support were nice people but could not get the answer. Network Solutions online info was incorrect or incomplete. I do not remember exactly. However, the email that Network sent was EXACT. No info as to password reset but they gave the correct port numbers and .....Connection!

I bought a used iPhone on ebay. when I try to activate it, I get a message that the owner needs to sign in to the device with their appleID and password. I have no way of knowing who the owner is. How can I get around this?

I bought a used iPhone on ebay. when I try to activate it, I get a message that the owner needs to sign in to the device with their appleID and password. I have no way of knowing who the owner is. How can I get around this?

Check the eBay listing. Did it state the device was Activation Locked? If not, then make a claim as Meg stated and get a refund. You will not be able to activate the phone and no one can help you contact the owner, unless that is the person that sold the device. If they cannot remove the phone from their account because it is not theirs, then refund is your route. Even Apple cannot assist with locating the previous owner.
