Take a look at this MBP, a refurbished unit. Don't let the late 2011 release date put you off. For about $500 less than an equivalent 'new' one with similar specifications you get a quad core CPU and excellent graphics. As Steve359 mentioned, this can be upgraded if the need arises and has the same warranty as a 'new' one
I would not be surprised that these may actually be 'new' MBPs due to the length of time that they have been replaced by the current generation. I purchased a 17" model about 5 weeks ago, and a serial number check suggests that it is 9 weeks old.

You might have better luck posting in the iPod Nano forum. You posted in the iPod Touch forum. For an iPod Touch one would start here:

My 3rd generation Ipod touch wont unlock

my 3rd generation Ipod touch wont unlock and screen is unresponssive after reset

- Connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. First restore from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
- If iTunes did not see the iPod, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow you to restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

HT1212 ipod touch wont reset after forgetting password, wont recognize device

I am trying to fix a friends Ipod after her daughter forgot the password. I have tried everything I saw online where to get it in recovery mode, etc and nothing works. It wont recognize it, it wont restore it, it wont do anything.
Anybody have any ideas to erase everything and start from scratch this is frustrating.

What happens when you try to restore?
Try DFU mode and then restore

Or try using this program to place the iPod in recovery mode

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Windows Vista wont recognize any generation Ipod. Not charging unless windows is booted off.

When I plug in any genration Ipod in windows, it dosent make the chime like other devices. Nothing is showing up in device manger, ITunes, or My computer. For all intsesive purpse it's like nothing is plugged in there. Also, it only charges when windows is turned off but power supply on. I tried 4 differnt cables and 3 differnt Ipods. A Touch, A Nanno, Classic, and a Shuffle. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes. I made sure the power on the USB is set to on.
Any further help would be nice.
Thanks

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Just bought 4th Gen.iPod shuffle from Amazon. My computer (Windows 7) wont recognise device, neither does iTunes. Have reinstalled iTunes, and nothing seems to work, Anyone have any ideas.

Just bough 4th Generation iPod Shuffle from Amazon - comp;uter doesnt recognmise device, neither does iTunes. I have re-installed iTunes, re-started Computer but nothing seems to work. I have a 2nd generation iPod shuffle and that is recognised by computer. Anyone have any suggestions - I am at my wits end.

There is a USB printer connected to the back port of the PC. The mouse and keyboard are both PS/2.
I did attempt to reinstall the USB root drivers. After uninstalling iTunes and all the other apple software packages included, I uninstalled everything USB in Device Manager, then rebooted the PC to let Windows reinstall it all.
Reinstalling the OS -might- fix the issue, but if that were the case, it's most likely just a software conflict that can easily be fixed if I can manage to narrow the specific conflicts down. I've already essentially disabled everything with MSCONFIG except for Apple stuff, so I'm at a loss as to where to go. I've attempted the 5 Rs and all that as well, none of it seems to do the trick. I also cleared the temp folder multiple times (once per each iTunes uninstall / reinstall following the support site directions of uninstalling all the extra apple software) as well as attempted restarts of the Apple services.
One oddity I would like to point out is that if I attempt to restart the iPod service through services.msc, it will not restart. It throws the error message of "the service failed to respond in a timely fashion" or whatever. I instead have to use the windows Task Manager to manually kill the iPod process in the processes list.
I just now removed the USB printer and plugged the shuffle into the same port, but I receive the same error message in iTunes about the iPod being corrupted and it needing a restore. If I push restore, the software gets stuck in an endless loop. There are no other USB devices attached to this computer, the motherboard drivers are fully up to date from nVidia's website, and other USB devices clearly function just fine (USB memory sticks, USB printer, etc). If I use the Diagnostics option under Help in iTunes, it will claim there is no iPod connected, and, again, the iPod still does not show up in Windows Explorer under My Computer as an attached device, nor does it show up in Disk Management as a mounted partition.

Brand New Macbook Pro one of the USB wont recognize device

Hi, I recently acquired a brand new macbook pro i5 core model for school. It was running perfect and I was so happy with my machine the last few days then suddenly last night my mouse didnt work no more. I thought it was strange so I tried the port that was closer to the power adapter and it worked in that slot. I tried plugging it into it several times again and no luck. I tried restarting my computer, no luck. I tried plugging in my Ipod nano, no luck but works in the other one. I went on here and looked for options. So then I tried resetting the Pram, and the smc, several several times, to no avail. I then even got this thing call usb prober and that didnt make it recognize it either. I am at a lost of what to do. The strange thing is though it WILL run my laptop cooler, it just will not recognize any devices?? Any help without having to go to a Genius would be great, thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Your USB port may not be delivering the power it should. The best thing to do would make an appointment at the genius bar and have it evaluated. You are under warranty, and this sounds like it may be a hardware problem that Apple needs to fix for you.
Good luck!

3rd Generation ipod -computer wont support a newer itunes version.....

okay, I am having serious issues! back in July I accepted an update on my ipod and when I did that, it told me that I needed a newer version of itunes, I tried to download it but i got a message that said "iphone and ipod require windows xpservice Pack 2 or later"... i have an old computer, can't get a new one right now & so getting a newer version of ituens seems impossible with my current system....my question is when I connect my ipod it says "The ipod "..." cannot be used because it requires itunes version 7.6 or later.... got to ... etc"... my computer wont support the newer itunes version so is there a way that I can reset the ipod (back to how it was when I purchased it) to where I am still able to use it with the current itunes version that I have on my computer???
(i tried to go to a friend's computer & we goofed & the sync only downloaded the songs that I purchased; (i know-duh) so I've lost over 800 tunes,,, (that are still in my library on my computer but I can't sync it because of the trouble i described above...)
am i making sense?
Can anyone help me? please?? I would forever be indebted to you!
Highest of Blessings...
Seriously Disconbobulated,
Sonia

Why not go to www.microsoft.com and install Service Pack 3 on your computer and then download and install the latest iTunes?

My windows pc wont recognize my ipod

i downloaded the updater and itunes but the updater says "plug in an ipod to update it" even if it is connected and itunes also does not recognize my ipod

Ahh, Windows is fun! Try doing a right click on my computer then clicking manage. Expand disk management and make sure that you are able to see the ipod on the list of available drives and be sure that it's not interefearing with other mapped drives (if you have them).

Windows 7 wont recognize photos or videos from my iphone 5's.

Greetings!
I pluged both my iPhone 5's into my computer running Win7. Upon being prompted to import pictures it will read "No new photos or videos found".
Not even Adobe Bridge will recognize that the phone has importable files.
Any idea?

Was your phone backed up after the game but before the deletion?
You can restore from that backup.
If you do not use iCloud, iTunes will backup automatically before syncing.

Windows Installer Wont recognize partition

Hi people,
I partitioned my Hard drive through boot camp with out any problems (the partition for BOOT CAMP is 20 gb)
When I go through the windows installer it only sees the one partition for the entire drive it is called untitled
Im not sure if i have the SP2, the disc is an MDG branded(that may be my problem) but doesn't say SP2 on it anywhere,
Please help me with this

Hi Paul,
to check if your XP CD is containing the SP2, you can look at the root directory of the CD for a file named 'win51ip.sp2'.
If it is there then SP2 is included if not, you can follow these instructions for 'slipstreaming' the SP2 http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxpsp2slipstream.asp
I am not sure, what 'MDG branded' is, but it could be that the CD is not a single full installation CD but rather a 'Recovery-CD' which only works with the computer it originally came with.

Windows Wont Recognize

Win XP wont recognize the 400GB USB external HDD

I just bought a external 400gb hdd from toshiba,
usb 2.0
no psu
says plug and play right on the box and windows xp wont recognize it.
The little blue led comes on, but nothing works at all.
The only thing that happened once, is I THINK xp recognized it as an MTP device.. which I got updates for, but still nothing.
I updated all my drivers, nothing seems to be working at all.
Please let me know how I can go about making this work.
Thanks

> The only thing that happened once is I THINK xp recognized it as an MTP device which I got updates for, but still nothing.
What MTP means exactly?
Did you check if the external HDD needs an additional power supply?
Did you test it on different computers/notebooks?
Did you try to remove the HDD hubs and controllers from the device manager and rebooted the notebook in order to reinstall this devices??? If not -> do it

Vista wont Recognize my Zen Sleek at

I've seen a lot of posts and threads about people saying it wont work on their Windows Vista computers, but no one really has the problem I have. Windows Vista wont recognize my Creative Zen Sleek AT ALL. I plug it in, vista makes a sounds then nothing happens. The mp3 player is charging but nothing at all is happening. Can someone help please? I've been having this problem for months.

The thing is, I didn't install anything. When I got my new Vista computer, I plugged it in and everything worked fine. I couldn't install or can't install anything. The 3rd time I tried it wont recognize it at all. I plug it in and nothing happens.
