Would Apple accept this payment method since I cant pay all at once for the MacBook Pro?
I was thinking of paying 50-100$ per month until I reach the desired total cost of the MP Pro.
I am not completely and positively sure if this would be accepted though, any input and answers?
Thanks.
Apple does provide payment plans. Look at this link:

Has Apple pulled the SMC update for the Macbook Pro Retina from the App Store
Does anyone know if Apple pulled the SMC update for the Macbook Pro Retina? I can no longer see it as an update in the app store. I am refering to the update that enables power nap on the Macbook Pro Retina.
It showed up in my ML App Store.
What is your SMC version?
Mine is
SMC Version (system): 2.3f28
and I don't have the update installed.

I do not have the apple id for the macbook pro which i bought off ebay
I bought a macbook pro model A1278 off of ebay. I got the dreaded flashing folder with question mark. After trying to repair the disk after booting using command r. I then tried to make a new startup disc with and external hd. I got to the point where I have to enter a apple id associated with the operating system I purchased. I used my own which of course is not the one of the original owner. Is there a way around this?
The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
1. If you don't own another Mac
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received those media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Some models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you may not be able to reinstall 10.6 even from the original discs, and Internet Recovery may not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
2. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
3. Partition and install OS X
a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
4. Other issues
a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like. -
I love my pro. I paid 2700. for it 4 years ago. I did that because I know they are meant to last. I could have purchased a regular laptop but they don't last. Until recently I was ecstatic with it. Then one day I opened it up and my screen seemed really floppy. I didn't pay much attention. Then I noticed there were two cracks on the bezel toward the bottom of the screen. It is where the stress point lies from opening and closing. A very important location. I have read up on this, it is definitely a design flaw. I know the bezels are only work 10-15 dollars if produced. But because of the lack of availability of them they sell for 80 and up. I went to an Apple store with my friend. She purchased an IPAD 3 months ago, it fell out of her car, and the screen broke. Strangely enough, they replaced her IPAD when clearly it was customer fault, although she maintained it was a weak point. Me? The genius looked at mine and said I would need a new screen and it would be 700. Then another solution for 300. I asked why they couldn't just order a bezel. He said they don't make them. Apple does not make computer parts for their own computer? Unfortunately they gave me the rude runaround (Sherman Oaks,Ca manager Gabe Nava) and treated me like I was being unreasonable when I pointed out it was a design flaw with Apple!. Now i have a computer that could last a good 2-3 more years, but with this flaw the life will be shortened. Apple is this how u treat the customers that purchase you most expensive product versus the one that purchases the low/med price product? Let me know pro owners.....lets demand apple make these bezels. They should be replaced for free, but if it were available for 15. and then 50 labor...that I can live with. The best I could get outta Gabe was 150.00 and they keep my computer for a week! I live 120 miles away from the nearest store. I know your out there folks....lets make Apple make this right.
There are online Mac reaper shops that will fix your bezel, it's nothing really.

What kind of material did apple used for the MacBook Pro rubber feet?
One of my MacBook feet is loose. Now I try to fix it by DIY. The exact materialname of the rubber is important, because then I can use the suitable glue.

If the name of the material is that important and not mentioned in the DIY, call Apple Care. -

I don't have a receipt for my Macbook Pro - will Apple Care cover me?
I bought my Macbook Pro from someone who no longer had the receipt. It is the Dec 2011 model. I registered it and called Apple yesterday for help because the unit wouldn't charge. The guy told me about the Apple Care protection plan. I explained I didn't have a receipt and he said it was fine... when he had entered the serial number he could see the unit was registered to me. So I purchased the warranty.
This morning I received an email with confirmation of the purchase and letting me know that I would need my original receipt for the Macbook Pro if I needed it serviced. Anyone know which one it is?I had my old macbook serviced a while back and I didn't have the receipt with me.
But because it was registered to me and my info on my Apple ID matches my stuff, they took it in for service without my receipt.
I guess it's up to whoever you deal with at the Apple Store when you need servicing. It is however, best to have your receipt. If all you have is the Apple Care receipt, use that one, since they sold it to you and it corresponds to you MBP's serial number. -
my apple id does not accept my payment method. why? i am using that same visa card the last 5 years!
there may be several reasons why your credit card may be declined by the iTunes store ,
the reason the iTunes store require c.card when you setup your apple id is for verification purposes
if you have called the iTunes store in the past about unrecognised charges, or unauthorised activity ,
then your bank may have blocked your card from being used on the iTunes store, i would recommend contacting your banking institute -
I am everytime getting the following error
Sorry! We could not complete the transaction using this payment method. Please contact support.
I have put my 2 credit card information with Microsoft. I tried calling 2 times the customer support but it was a pathetic response. In a single call I talked to 4 customer support officers and everybody passed on the call to the next without resolving the
problem, and without telling the next officer what is my issue!! they just passed on the phone call to avoid me!!
It is really frustrating that neither Microsoft is provide a good support (it was hard for them to understand my issue, in fact one of the support guy did not even know spelling of Azure.. he/she was saying it assure!!! and One of the guy told me that I
cannot use credit card outside US and Canada. then why you call yourself global???
So Microsoft you have a few things to do as your homework.
1. Your support is pathetic, frustrating and requires better people out there who know about your products, so train them first!
2. You got my 2 credit cards information which I see at subscriptions for Windows Azure, please remove both of them if you cannot provide a good support and subscription.
3. Learn from other cloud providers, AWS will otherwise kill your business.

how do i get a carier to unlock my i phone 4s. it was given to me from a friend of a friend (yes it was legitamate).They were emmigrating due to partner getting job abroad. it has been registerd with apple in my name and details. the carrier wants the original purchaser to contact them but i have no contact details for them. would apple unlock this for me or request carrier (3 network) to unlock it?
unfortunately they still insist on previous owner contacting them even though i have explained the situation? have just come back from usa and apple store over there said to get in contact with apple customer services in uk and they could request on my behalf to carrrier for unlock code. Do you know if anyone has tried this with any outcomes?

why apple forces me to choose a payment method to download a free aplication when I already check "payment method ...... NO" in the settings of my apple account
Asking for card details is a way of confirming that you are able to buy from that country's store, it doesn't necessarily mean that the card will be charged for the purchase (unless you are trying to gift content or an amount, that can only be done via a credit card) - have you tried entering the card, you should then get the 'none' option so that you can remove it

I have a MacBook OSX 10.5.8 and a Time Capsule 500GB since July 2008. My problem is (for the 4th time in 4 yrs) the backup gets stuck in "preparing" indefinitely (hours). In the past, wile still under apple care warranty, tech support had me redo backup (loosing previous backups). Now I'm out of warranty and still having this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just bought an Iphone on Ebay,this is unlocked,but I cant to use in Hungary,because the apple store told me is locked.What can I do know,that I can using in Hungary?
There are way too many posts on this forum from people who buy used iPhones on eBay and who then have problems. I would second wjosten's suggestion to return the phone, get a refund and buy a phone from an authorized dealer.

since downloading Maverick iCal no longer syncs between my MacBook Pro, my iMac or iPad - how do I rectify this? (my first post ever)
I know Pete, but what if I don't have good internet connection sometimes?
Imagine:
this morning planning the whole next week with my iMac, bussiness around Europe.
I must go this evening.
Just now internet line fails in the neighborhood.
Stupid situation, and not so uncommon, cause not all of us are living in Manhattan. (this is what Apple thinks)
Cable must be an option beside iCloud.
true or not?
