Black and White macbook batteries

The black macbook battery and the white macbook battery say they are incompatible when not used with the correct color. On the apple store website it says, "black battery ONLY WITH a black macbook".
my friend has an old battery she said she could give me, but its a white one. and i have a black macbook. Can i really not use it?

Huh? Why is that? When I bought my white MacBook I ordered an extra battery and the only one I could get was black and they sent it. It doesn't seem to have the same battery life as my white one. Hmmm...maybe I need to enquire about that.

  • There's a black and white striped glitch on the left side of my screen on my Macbook Air! Its happened before and has been an easy fix, usually just restart or turn off my computer but don't know what else to do. Is there anything I can try now?

    Can anyone now the reason this has happen as i watch film offern but its driving me crazy why i cannot play from macbook pro to dvd player. i have been told it was a sercuity problem with the films so do i use itunes every time i need to watch a film if so then apple tv is a waste of money thanks please help

    This is supposed to happen, licensing issue mean that Apple can't AirPlay protected content to other devices. You might try VLC instead of Apples built in DVD player.

  • When starting the macbook pro, the screen was flashing black and white, then to color to color, any suggestion to fixing this problem?

    When i am starting the macbook pro, the screen was flashing black and white, and then to color to color, and the whole process repeat all over again, is there any suggestion in solving this, or is there no way to solve this and i need to bring it to the apple support?

    Sounds as if you're having a problem with your GPU (graphics card). Only Apple can diagnose and fix this, so the best thing would be to take your machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP.

  • Macbook display shows black and white lines when fullscreen

    If i leave my Macbook on for a while without shutting down and then I view a photo or movie (in player or safari) fullscreen the screen shows just black and white lines. Sort of like bad tv reception. It has happened a few times and a reboot has fixed it but it comes back. Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks

    I have a similar problem. Not sure you're on here (since the post is really old) but did you manage to work it out? How?

    My Imac froze earlier today as I was dragging an image from safari into indesig and when it froze the weirdest pattern overlaid the screen. It looked just like the opacity pattern from photoshop with grey and white squares. I turned the computer off using the power button and unplugged everything.
    Now when I try to start it these weird lines appear on my start up screen (see link)...
    http://meijerladdaruppgrejer.wordpress.com/2012/07/24/oops/
    as you can see the apple and the wheel appears as normal...
    ... then it moves to a normal looking white screen (perhaps a bit greener than usual) and around 30 seconds later freezes at the blue screen.
    I've tried the cmd + alt + p + r several times but it won't help.
    If i press alt during start up I can see and choose my hard drive but just end up at the blue screen again.
    Can I try starting it up in safe mode or something?

  • Macbook monitor is a shaking black and white screen

    My macbook monitor screen keeps going to a black and white shaking screen and the only way to get it to stop is power off and back on. Soon after I power it back on, the screen goes back to the black and white shaking screen. Any idea?

    Unfortunately protected content is blocked from Airplay using Apple's DVD Player (same for playing back DRM protected video in iTunes or Quicktime, but you are better off using Home Sharing for that).
    For this reason the OS does not allow the Airplay algorithm to grab the screen displaying 'protected video' - annoyingly even unportected home made DVDs will exhibit this.
    Try using something like VLC Player instead.
    This was such an obvious use for Airplay but the movie studios probably insisted.

    Keep the temperature down, usually by boosting the lowest default fan speed to help.
    Also FBDIMMs on Amazon I have run at 59*C versus the 72*C+ of prior modules so adding less heat into the system.
    There are kits you can modify the card's fan and add copper heat sink pipes. You may be fine and not have to buy a new card and continue with the 8800GT.
    The X1900 was a huge problem with dust and therefore with heat and making the fans work harder - but never able to cool the interior, so the card had to be removed and dust inside the card's chamber 3-4X per year.
    My Mac Pro 1,1 even without the X1900 would warm up the area during winter after 3-4 hours of use - the exhaust on these is very hot. So monitor the temps and fans and I would  install SmcFanControl - I have always had it since 2007 to keep the fans default at 800-900 rpm along with Hardware Monitor (or use another) to monitor all the system sensors.

  • Macbook pro screen has black and white squares

    I have an older 2007 15" MacBook Pro. I turned it on one day and, although the computer made the same sounds it always does when it is booting up, the screen showed these very depressing black and white squares, and the rest of the pixes around these blocks (half black, half white)  were very scrambled.  A few days later the computer booted up completely normally, but now it is back to the crazy screen.
    Does anyone know what this problem may be? I am currently in Thailand and am wondering if someone can help me figure out what problem this most likely is so I can decide how much an appropriate repair should cost.
    Thanks so much!

    Hi if the device is a Macbook pro 15 inch mid 2010 model then there might be a chance of replacement of MLB for NVDIA graphic problem, please contact an apple authorised service provider for more details about this issue and you may get a free replacement programme for this MLB also all the best.....
