To be totally honest, about 3 weeks prior I spilled some milk from cereal on the desk and a little bit got onto the battery.
I don't think you have a case.
You can replace the logic board yourself if you are a DIY'er and save some money.

  • I am using a MacBook Pro previously owned by a colleague. How do I change the AppleID matched to my utilities (iPhoto, iMovie, ...)? I can't update them as I have my own AppleID and not my colleague's.

    What system version are you running and what version of iApps do you currently have?

    What versions did you have? Did you purchase the iApps with your Apple ID as some previous time?
    Go into the System/iCloud preference pane and sign out.  Then sign back in with your Apple ID.  Also sign in to the App Store with your Apple ID. If you have purchased those apps previously you'll be able to download them for free from the Purchases section.

  • Any idea when the MacBook Pro will come with the new OSX Lion?

    Does anyone have a clue as to when the MacBook Pro will come installed with the new OSX Lion?  In the market for a new Mac laptop but would prefer waiting for the Pro to come with the new system alreayd installed.
    Thanks

    If you order on-line it will ship with Lion.
    Local retail stores vary according to their inventory, more than likely the have Lion ready MBP.  Call and ask.

  • Even via time machine the new osx lion has deleted all my latest files in iPhoto and will only revert back to an old 2009 backup?

    even via time machine the new osx lion has deleted all my latest files in iPhoto and will only revert back to an old 2009 backup?... Help?!

    Have you verified that the original files are missing from the Originals/Masters folder?  There are time when the library might appear empty due to a damaged database file but still has the files.  If you can open the library package via the Finder to see if the files are really missing or just can't be seen by iPhoto there are fixes you can try.
    If the files are there make a temporary, backup copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Hi I just upgraded software through iTunes then unplugged iPhone now it is stuck on the connect to intunes screen, it won't turn off and iTunes and my computer won't recognize my phone? Please help

    Hi I just upgraded software through iTunes then unplugged iPhone now it is stuck on the connect to intunes screen, it won't turn off and iTunes and my computer won't recognize my phone? Please help

    My phone is doing the same thing. My computer acknowledges that I have connected my iPhone 4, however, iTunes will no longer connect or sync to my iPhone 4. I have uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour and all Apple products from my pc. I have re-installed them back on. I have reset my phone. I have emptied my temp folder. I have done everything. If my iPhone cannot update and sync with iTunes then I may as well get another phone from somewhere else. I am disappointed that I cannot resolve this issue.
    Rebeccaspe31, were you able to resolve your issue? If so how?

  • My ipad is stuck inbetween on and off.  The screen is black with the white apple in the middle.  It won't turn off and it won't come on.  anyone know what is wrong?

    My ipad is stuck inbetween on and off.  The screen is black with the white apple in the middle of the screen.  It won't turn off and won't come completely on.  Anyone know what is wrong?

    See if this lets the iPad start up.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • The screen on my iPod touch is white and won't turn off and on?

    I was charging my iPod and forgot about it after a couple days and now my screen is white and won't turn on and off and I held hold button and button on screen for 10 seconds and it didn't do anything. HELP

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Torch won't turn off and back camera won't work after dropping it in a pool. What can I do?

    I put it in rice as soon as I got back, and left it for 36 hours as instructed by a website and friends. Ever since dropping it the torch hasn't turned off and the bac camera won't work.

    Water and electronics do not mix well.  Your device may not ever work properly again, and probably needs to be replaced.  Unless you have the AppleCare Protection Plan Plus, then it will cost $199 USD to replace an iPhone 4S.
    The rice trick works best if you leave it for at least 4-5 days, not 1.5 days.  But even that is no guarantee.

  • IPhone won't turn off and won't sync even after I plug in my computer.

    My iPhone started acting odd after my husband updated it to iOS5.  It started with when I touch the apps, it responded with delay.  Today, when I want to check my email.  The app just simply not responding to any touch on the screen.  I tried to turn off to restart, but it won't turn off.  So I plug in my computer try to sync see if that can somehow makes it "budge".  I successfully upload the new photos from iPhone to my MacBookPro, but after that, it won't "sync".  The "sync" bottom on the itune page stay "gray".  I cannot click on it.  What should I do?

    Try a Reset...
    Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release the buttons..
