I've had trouble with my Macbook since the first month I bought it. I've replaced the hard drive 3 to 4 times. Now some programs won't work or shut off by itself. Is it possible to ask for a complete exchange of products?

This may help you: http://store.apple.com/us/help/returns_refund
It would appear that you can ask for an exchange but it doesn't specify any time frame... Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can add to this.
By the way, if you've replaced the drive so many times, perhaps there's something else going on elsewhere.

Has anyone else been having trouble with safari ever since the update? I have restarted several times, it still doesn't work.
Greetings Blueleoapple,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with Safari. You may want to consider resetting your device, which is different from restarting. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I just replace my hard drive on my imac and now when i turn the computer on the fan starts running and keeps getting louder. How do i turn it off?
thanks.If your machine was made after 2009 you probably installed th wrong HD. Beginning in 2009 Apple began using HD's that had an integrated fan sensor. If you did not use one of these drives then that is the problem. You should contact OWC (www.macsales.com) or visit your local AASP and they will help you select the correct HD to use.

on my macbook pro the hard drive icon is not on my desktop and I don't know how to find the hard drive or get the icon back on my desktop
Click on the Desktop. From the Finder menu select Preferences. Check the boxes for what you want on your Desktop. If they are already checked, then try unchecking and rechecking.

I had Adobe Acrobat Serial loaded before the hard drive crashed on my old PC. I have tried to download Acrobat 9 on my new PC, but always get the message “This is not a valid serial number”.
I had Adobe 9 Standard on the old. But what downloads from the page http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-8-9-product-downloads.html is Adobe 9 Pro. Perhaps this Pro version is the problem.
Anyway, can you point me to a way to install Adobe on my new PC?You can try Download Adobe CS5 Free Trials – All Direct Links without Akamai | ProDesignTools.

after running mac tuneup got a red dot on the hard drive icon, nothing would respond, now on restart cant get past white screen with apple logo, mac tune up disk still in laptop
Restart your MBP holding the trackpad down and hopefully the disk will be ejected. Then try to return it and get a refund or put it in the trash. There is nothing that software does for your MBP that you cannot do yourself or with free software.
If can get your MBP started, delete all traces of the offending software. Worst case is that you may have to erase the HDD and reload the OS and your user data. I trust that you have a backup (minus MacTuneUp).
Courcoul has given you his opinion in a very succinct manner, and as you might surmise, I agree with him.

do I need startup discs to upgrade hardware on MacBook Pro or can I restore the hard drive from from a Time Machine backup?
Ok, well go and grab a small 2.5" hard drive enclosure so you can put the new drive in & temporarily use it like an external hard drive.
Download Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper and make a bootable clone of your current HDD on the new HDD.
Once that's done you can test the clone by booting from it. To do this hold Optioni while booting to select the external (new) drive. If everything looks ok, you can go ahead and swap over the HDD's.
So much easier. -
I already have a wireless network (call it Network A) with connectivity to various wired and wireless devices. I have a USB hard drive that I directly attach to my MacBook Air. I use it for Time Machine backups and general storage. I would like to move this drive to an AirPort Extreme. I would like to continue to be able to reach it via Network A, but also use the AirPort to create a guest Network (Network B). I don't want the guest network to access the hard drive.
Now, I know I can plug a hub into the USB port and put (I hear up to 3) hard drives on it. Can I determine which ones are accessable by Network A, and by Network B?
Bonzo...Several things to consider.
You cannot create a wireless network for guests if the AE is bridged. It has to be the main router in the network.
You cannot use the existing TM backups on the USB drive.. if you plug into a network it will need to be wiped.. and only AC model can produce reliable TM backups.. the earlier models are not reliable for TM backups.
See http://pondini.org/TM/Airport.html
These two factors alone may be enough to make you reconsider.
If you can create a guest network.. and you can overcome the limitations of airdisks.. then any person on the guest network should not be able to access the disk drive.. but if you wish to go ahead Bob Timmons might be able to confirm it.. I stay away from USB drives on routers.. I do not and will not use a router as a NAS.. it is underpowered and simply unsuitable long term.. a cheap single disk NAS is many times faster.. more reliable.. and has a marvellous thing called backup.. no USB disk or even internal disk in a TC can back itself up. .nor can TM backup network drives.. so any data you store on a USB drive is going to be gone one day.. unless you go to great lengths to back it up .. to where.. another USB drive plugged into another router somewhere.. the definition of slow.. should be copying files between two usb drives in an apple network using wireless. You will experience new levels of pain and suffering.. likened to the belly of the Sarlacc. -
One account with two folders on the hard drive
Sorry but i think this is a very basic question.
I have one user (the administrator), but on the hard drive there are two folders. One named Peter and the other named Dad. I have all of my files in the folder named Peter. I seem to be logged in to the Dad folder. The desktop has nothing on it but in the Peter folder there are many items. Same with the music folder, and there is nothing in iTunes.
Thanks
Mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.7)Check to see whether your account is listed as the owner of both folders in the Ownership & Permissions section of the Get Info window, which is available by control-clicking the folder; if so, open the NetInfo Manager in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, click the padlock, and type in your password. Next, locate the home property for your user account and change the instance of Dad to Peter in it without changing or deleting any other accounts, groups, or properties. Log out and log back in.
The contents of the Users folder do not indicate which accounts are present on the machine; this folder is the default location for the home folders associated with accounts you've created. It is possible to have a folder inside Users without a corresponding account, and you can have an account on the machine without its home folder being in Users; this applies to system-level accounts by default, but you can set it up for your account or other accounts you've created in the NetInfo Manager.

We have a Windows XP desktop with iTunes for windows. The hard drive needs to be reformatted. Right now, the computer will not connect to other computers on the network. Can I save my iTunes songs to a thumbdrive, then re-load after reformatting? How do I do it?
Copy the entire iTunes folder out to the drive. If it is too big to go as one copy stuff over to another computer in batches. It is important to have not only the media but the library file in order to properly restore your library.
See also this User Tip. Assuming the machine won't connect to the internet you could download the SyncToy installer on another machine and then transfer it with the thumb drive. If it will connect to the net don't forget to deauthorize the machine before reformatting the hard drive.

Problems with Dashboard (after partitioning the hard drive?)
I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. Yesterday I partitioned the drive to also run Windows, using Boot Camp. Everything worked fine after I completed Boot Camp.
Now my Dashboard is not working correctly. It opens and closes, and certain widgets work, but others are non-responsive. Some won't even let me close them. I opened the "Manage Widgets" widget, and that is blank and also will not close.
I also installed all new software updates yesterday, but those are the only changes that I have made.
Any ideas?
Thanks!Satellite A665-S5170 Specifications

First, in general, you should only be using the hardware drivers from your model's Toshiba support page. As well, you should not allow Windows Update to change any of your Toshiba supplied hardware drivers.
After doing a clean install, the order that the drivers are installed in is critical for success. This is 1st chipset, 2nd display, then all other drivers. But, on a Toshiba, after installing all the hardware drivers, you are going to have to install some of the Toshiba utilities for it to work properly. Again, the order is critical, this would be 1st TVAP (Toshiba Value Added Package), 2nd Toshiba Flash Card Support Utility, then all other Toshiba Utilities.
However, like everything, there can be other factors and complications. For example, on your system you could have either an nVidia or Realtek sound card. In this case, you can try each driver and see which installs and works.
But, I would strongly recommend that you breakdown and order the set of Toshiba recovery media for your system, which you can do here. You will just need to input the serial number from the Toshiba label on the bottom of your unit. This will rebuild your Toshiba HDD recovery partition, reinstall Windows 7 with an imbedded product key, and install all the drivers, utilities and software your system came with, as listed in your specifications.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

How do you re-download lightroom, after your computer has lost everything since the hard drive went?
Needing help
You can either log into your Adobe Account or download it from here:
Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=113&platform=Windows
Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=113&platform=Mac
You'll need your original Serial-No. to activate the program.
If you purchased LR online and log into your Adobe account (My Orders), you'll also find the Serial-No. there.
