Bottom part of the disk drive got dented upward

when I was going up the stairs and dropped my macbookpro. It kind of bounced of off the left side and then the right got hit. I imagine it would have been more suvere if I didn't have a plastic cover on it. Tried opening it with a knife/screwdriver. I put a cd in it. It worked but won't eject. Tips? Should I keep trying to open it with a screwdriver?

The best I can tell you right now is don't fiddle with it anymore or you could damage it more. Take it to an Apple store. See what they're saying.

Regarding the product time capsule...is the modem the same as airport extreme and is the disk drive always running? I'm worried about it lasting for at least five years.

John,
I'd pay good money to bet it wouldn't last 5 years... I don't rate the in built power supply and as for "server grade hard disk" - Hmmmm..... The failure rate of all HD's on the market after 3 year is 60%.

How does it cost to get the disk drive fixed on a macbook pro?

How much does it cost to get the disk drive on a macbook pro fixed?

It depends on who fixes it. Assuming that the drive needs to be replaced, you could have Apple do it (most expensive), a local computer repair shop (less expensive) or do-it-yourself (least expensive).
There's really no 'fixing' a hard drive - it either works or it doesn't. What leads you to believe that your drive needed repair (or replacement)?

The disk drive in my iMac 8,1 has stopped working, so I now use an LG 8x Slim Portable that works. However, every time I use the LG drive, I lose contact with my Time Machine back-up drive that has to be deleted and reinstalled. Help!

It's not Logic that can't find them, it's your Komplete apps, though if you did exaclty as you say I can see no reason why they can't.
Do you know where the apps installed them in the first place? I chose a non-standard locarion for mine, but I'm sure it installs sounds to your documents folder/native instruments/name of app.
Go into the prefs of each app and choose the library location button on the library tab and point it to the relevant folder in documents/native instruments and see if that works

Bottom part of the itouch screen is not very responsive

My itouch recently came in counter with some water, i managed to remove the water i think. ( i used the rice method). Now the only part that is giving me issues is the bottom part of the screen. Any tips on how to fix this? Also how much would apple charge me for a repair?

basics from the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW. Try each step in order until your problem is solved. If not solved after ALL these steps have been tried, you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

My picture files open up off center so I cannot see all of the bottom part of the picture.

Hi,
My picture files open up off center so I cannot see all of the bottom part of the picture. The ruler across the top read "0" to 13.5". Down the left side of the picture the ruler reads 3", 2",1", 0, 1", 2",3" etc. This leaves a three inch empty space at the top of my viewing area and I lose three inches of the bottom of my picture. I cannot figure out how to adjust this. I have tried the screen modes and they do not fix my problem. What can I do to solve this problem?

Please provide sensible details about your platform, exact version of your OS, exact version of Photoshop, complete details baout your setup, hardware details, monitor resolution, etc.

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. If you iPod is defective, within warranty and not abused, Apple will exchange it at no cost.

I was loading some CDs into my iTunes library when the disk drive refused to "suck in" the next CD. Does anyone have a suggest on how I might proceed?

Yes, that is a Catch 22. If you have another Mac you can connect your Mac to it in the Target Disk Mode, Transferring files between two computers using FireWire, and use Disk Utility on the second Mac to try to run the Hardware Test from there. Not sure if it's possible to a connected Mac though.
You can try this several times in the Terminal app and then see if a disk can be fully inserted:
Enter the following command followed by the Enter or Return key:
drutil eject
Do it several times and then try another disk. (A long shot).

Is the disk drive broken?

I'm fixing up a family friend's 1st gen Macbook and am experiencing a problem with the disk drive. When I was putting in a CD it wouldn't go in, and it feels as if there is a disc already in there. In fact, I'm almost positive there is because when I received it her teenage son asked "By the way... is there a...uh... cd in there by any chance?"
I've tried everything to eject it. I've tried commanding it in the terminal, using the eject button, pulling it out with tweezers, etc, but nothing works. When I try to eject it the computer doesn't even attempt to, it just sits there silently and nothing moves. I'm pretty sure it's dead, but just wanted to know others opinions. It doesn't register that there is a disc in there either.
And if it is dead, would it be cheaper to buy an external CD drive or a replacement to install myself? She's not willing to pay to have Apple fix it, considering the reason I have it is to replace a LCD screen that she cracked and left for a year and a half. I'm a beginner considering I'm only sixteen myself, so if it's an easy repair I would be willing to do it if need be.
Thanks in advance.

I have a 2012 mac book pro can I use that to connect with firewire and load osx that way? and how woudl I do that?
Thanks so much!

To what password are you referring? Do you mean your user account's admin password? Or do you mean the master password for File Vault or do you mean a Firmware Password?
For an admin password:
Forgot Your Account Password
For Snow Leopard and earlier
     Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
For Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
     Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
     instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
     Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
     OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
If you cannot do the above then try this:
1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each command line:
     /sbin/fsck -yf
     If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command until
     you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message,
     then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
     mount -uw /
     cd /private/var/db/netinfo
     mv local.nidb local.old
     rm ../.AppleSetupDone
     shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
How to reset the OS X password without a startup CD:
Reboot into Single-user Mode. Enter the following and press RETURN after each command line
   1. Type fsck -fy
   2. Type mount -uw /
   3. Type passwd <username>
I have never tried this method myself.

How do you remove the annoying bottom part of the home screen?

I hate the bottom part of the home screen and is there any way to get rid of it?

You are referring to multitasking in iOS 6.
You cannot hide the dock in iOS 6 (or any other version for that matter).
It just looks different. In iOS 7 it is flat:

Mac crash deleted various apps and broke the disk drive. How do I get my apps back?

My Mac 10.8.3 crashed a few months ago. It deleted various apps like garage band and iPhoto etc. During that time my mac also fell breaking the disk drive. I fixed the crash, but I have no clue how to reinstall these applications, especially with the disk drive being broken. Anyone have any ideas?? Thanks!

you need to purchase an external hdd and insert the grey disk 2 whick origionally came with the mac new. this disk contains the applications and apple hardware test.
