Bought Macbook Pro for $1199. Realized I quailed for student discount.
I bought a new macbook pro 9 days ago after my macbook pro of 2 years crashed due to logic board failure. I went on to buy the same computer as before, and currently now, old version of the macbook pro for $1199. I just discovered I was legible for a student discount of $200. Am I able to receive a refund of that money or upgrade my computer to the newer macbook pro, which would come out to be the same price as what I paid for the older one given the discount? Very dissapointing that the gentlman assiting me in my purchase did not informe me about the student discount, as every other saleperson there has always been kind enough to do so.
As we are all other users here, it would be best if you asked at the store where you bought it - ask to speak to the manager and take along your machine and your receipt. You have 14 days to return it if you bought it at an Apple store, so you could also just return it and then buy another.

Hi, My friend bought MacBook Pro for me online (USA) cost 1199.00 $ But he said that it costed more because there was some fees. Is it true? He said it's around 75$ more. Tell me if my friend is cheating on me or if it's true what for are fees ? Thanks
Where the confusion is ruzlis, is that when you purchase with Apple online in the UK, the product already shows the VAT of 20% being charged so the price you see is the price you pay, whereas in USA the Tax will be added later according to the zip code, and a further charge of environmental charges. These extra charge of $75 looks right to me. You are still getting it cheaper from the USA than if you bought in the UK.
I think you need to trust your friend a little more.
And of course if your friend ships it to you, then you still have the VAT to pay as it comes across the border. -

Did you download and install the Windows Support software? If you did, did you use the Boot Camp Control icon to set up the trackpad how you want it?

Hi, I have bought macbook pro a year back and it has 4 GB RAM and its mid 2012 model can u tell me whether if i give the macbook for upgradation of memory will they do it and what would be the cost.
You need to take your MacBook Pro to your Apple store genius bar and check that they will do the upgrade for you...price for 4 GB memory used to be $200 but you will have to check with them for the current cost.
You can also check with OWC, http://www.macsales.com and see what their cost is and decide if you want to do it yourself. Cost will be about half of that at the Apple store. -

Do i need to create a back up or a start up disc for a newly bought macbook pro os x 10.8 ?
do i need to create a back up or a start up disc for a newly bought macbook pro os x 10.8 ?
You do not need a startup disc. There is a hidden recovery partition on the hard drive that you can use for repairing or reinstalling the system. Hold down command-R at startup to boot from that system. If the hard drive should die or be replaced, all machines that have shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or later include the capability to boot into internet recovery mode. If trying to boot into recovery mode fails, the machine will automatically try to boot from a system downloaded from Apple's servers over the internet. (You can also force the machine into internet recovery mode by holding down command-option-R at startup.)

I bought a 13" MacBook Pro for our college bound granddaughter. She cannot access the app store as she
gets security questions to answer that she never set up, and of course it won't let her purchase anything. She has
a redeemable balance, but can't get past the security questions and can't seem to find another way to circumvent this.
What can she do?If she has trouble with the first advisor, she can always ask to speak to a senior advisor. However, AppleCare isn't really needed in cases like this, as the iTunes Store is quite familiar with accounts of this nature, and it's more of their speciality. Your daughter may want to contact them next time, but it's only email support at the moment (soon to change).

Hey, as the title reads I, about a month and a half ago purchased a Macbook Pro for school. When I bought it I was debating with myself wheter a MBA was better for my needs, since it's lighter and easier to carry around. But it was the 500gb HDD on the Pro that made me choose it over the Air. However I have now started regretting getting the Pro over the Air, since it's alot lighter which is beneficial for me carrying it to school everyday and I have realised I don't need 500gb and that 128 is enough for me.
Is there anyway to replace it through Apple?If Hanz and Franz ("We are here the <clap> 'pump you up') are right (Google older Saturday Night Live), you can hit the gym and carrying will be easier.

Thinking of changing my current Macbook Pro for recently released?
My current Macbook Pro is the 15" bought in 2008 just when the glossy screen computers came out. Its a good unit with 4 gigs RAM, 2.4 mhz processor etc.
However, I just bought an iMac 27" i5. Its very powerful and is now the centre of my computing universe. Oddly, since I got the iMac I use my portable as a portable more than ever. I was thinking though that really since the iMac is so powerful probably all I'd need is the 13.3" new Macbook Pro. It would be lighter and more portable but I'm not sure it would give me any performance enhancements over what I currently have.
I'm just curious what others thoughts are on the new 13.3" Macbook Pro. The only advantage I can with it over my current Macbook Pro is the graphics processor looks like its more powerful. The battery life is also amazing. On my current Macbook Pro I'm lucky to get 3 hours. This machine is rated at 10 hours.
Considering I've got a powerful iMac i5, does it make sense just to get the 13.3" Macbook Pro or spring for the 15.4. I don't think I need two powerful computers considering I use the iMac as the centre. Plus, I realize now that the apps I use all this power is wasted on.
I could probably sell my current Macbook Pro for $1000 as it has a tiny dent from a fall, buy the new Macbook Pro for $1200 plus and have something that is a little more portable with great battery life and I suspect maybe somewhat faster. My current computer is of course a matte screen and I don't think you can beat that but I think this combo I'm thinking of might be a better fit.
I just want people's thoughts views especially around also that the 13.3" Macbook Pro is a core duo 2 and I think this processor is pretty well near the end of its life. I saw Steve Jobs say though that the performance boost from the new Macbook Pro would have been minimal with an i5 but a lot with the new graphics cards.
Thoughts would be very much appreciated.If your budget is unlimited, look at both the retina and non-retina and make a decision based on your preferences. If funds are tight, explore the options in the refurbished section. Unless you are dealing with courses that demand specific performance parameters, any one of these options will suffice.

An Intel iMac AND a MacBook Pro for Logic Pro?
I am torturing myself over this issue lately so any input you guys could offer would be welcome!
This is the situation:
After 3 months of serious debating whether to purchase a 20" Intel iMac or a MacBook Pro for Logic Pro, I went ahead about 3 weeks ago and got the iMac. My reasoning behind this was that even though I found the portability of the MBP very desirable, the iMac simply represented a better value with the big screen and bigger hard drive. Since getting it, I must say I love this machine and I have not had one single problem with it. Logic 7.2 runs like a dream on it. By the way, aside from maintaing my iTunes Library, occasional iLife stuff and web surfing with Safari, this iMac is for music production only.
But here's the problem:
Still, I can't seem to shake the desire for OCCASSIONAL portability. Keep in mind, I am only a "serious" music hobbyist; I create instrumental hip-hop, trip-hop, electronica style of music mainly with software instruments, loops and breakbeats. So needless to say, I don't tour or do a lot of travelling. But the prospect of being able to compose tracks or make beats in Logic anywhere is DESIRABLE to say the least. I could compose while sitting on the couch watching a game or laying in bed - even though I have no idea of how often I'd actually do that, just having the ability to do it is VERY APPEALING to me. Throw in the fact that the iMac currently shares deskspace with a PC that my wife uses - meaning that I often have to stop what I'm doing to let her use the space. With a laptop, I could move and still continue my flow. Lastly, I unfortunately have bad knees and a bad back so after a couple of hours (or 3 or 4) of sitting at the desk working on Logic, I am seriously hurting. Not comfortable at all. At least owning a MacBook would give me the option to move around to some place more comfortable if I desire.
So...
Even though I recently bought a wonderful iMac that works great, I'm seriously considering getting a 1.83 MBP with at least 1GB of RAM and the 100GB/7200 RPM drive to accompany it just for the portability factor. Sure, I could get a used G4 PowerBook or iBook, but all I own is the Universal Binary of Logic Pro; I would have a hard time accepting the decrease in speed I've gotten use to on the Core Duo. Besides, I inherently have a problem buying something (even used) that I know is old and out of date when the latest and greatest is available.
So here is the $25,000 question: Am I nuts for even considering this? Am I placing too much of a premium on the portability as I would use it?
This could easily be justified if I was a working musician on the road, but that ain't me. And you can believe that I'm definately not rich and thus don't have money lying around.
But I have obsessed over this so much lately, I feel that I almost have to get it just to put my mind at ease! I even briefly considered putting the iMac on eBay and just buying a MBP to replace it, but I love the screen real estate I get with the 20" iMac and I question if I'll be truly satisfied with a 15.4" screen FULL TIME. 17" might be better, but I doubt if I can wait until June for them to arrive. In addition, everything would connected via my wireless LAN and .Mac so file sharing should not be an issue.
Help!!!
What would you do? Sell the iMac or just get a MBP as cheap as I can?
Opinions, Please!
20" iMac Core Duo, 2GHz, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB HD, 128MB VRAM Mac OS X (10.4.4)I love the portability my powerbook gives me. You can use a PB in your setup. You can run an external monitor for either PB or MBP. You can node. Universal Binary menas it is an application which has the components written for both PPC and Intel chips-so you don't need to do conversion. Nodes won't require you buy a nother license. so the answer is down to how much the 2 upgrades and 1 crossgrades will set you back vs how much use you'll get out of them. IMO the iMac is inexpensive (I mean that in a good way-worth hooding on to). Maybe just look at a refurb PB unless you really have the extra cash.

just bought macbook pro and want to download purchases I have already made from itunes apps but when it says downloaded can't find it. I have run a search and found it in my mac but unable to open or do anything?? Do not understand what is happening.

so how do I get the same apps for my macbook pro? or is that not possible?
Not sure if that same Application is designed for Mac Os x, Search for Applications on App Store instead of iTunes on your Macbook Pro, as Applications available on iTunes Store on a Macbook is designed to work only on iOS Device like iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and whatever is available on App Store on Mac is designed for Mac Os x. -

In the UK, if i get a student discount, is the warranty covers my macbook pro for 3 years?
In the UK, if i get a student discount, is the warranty covers my macbook pro for 3 years?
I bought a new macbook pro yesterday, and I received a student discount, but I found out that my warranty is for just one year.
Yes I can see at the "Online" Education store, that it should be 3 years, but the thing is I bought this at the "retail" store in London.
I think it should be 3 years as same as at online store,
Can anybody help me about this?Call AppleCare UK and ask them. (44) 0844 209 0611****£0.05p per minute when dialed from a landline within the UK. Call charges may vary when calling from a mobile phone.
