Broken MacBook Pro can Apple repair for free?

My MacBook Pro got broken and has a shattered screen and dent top right corner, I was told I would have to replace the whole top and the base is dented in a couple of areas and a dented corner too. I was told it would be about a $500 fix and I was wondering is there a way Apple can do it for free? Kinda tight on money.

How can I download Microsoft office excel for my MacBook Pro Mac OSX version for free. Please help me!

How can I download Microsoft office excel for my MacBook Pro for free?

You can't. Excel is a commercial product sold by Microsoft in an Office "package" and not as a stand-alone product.
If you need to be able to open and save Excel documents on your Mac, however, you could try the free LibreOffice.

Macbook Pro - Can't Repair Disk, but I Want to Take Files Off It?

Hi everyone
So I have my Macbook Pro here. It won't turn on. I have had it in a drawer for a couple of months now, as I got a new computer and just now realized I had a bunch of pictures on there that I wanted to move over to my new laptop. Whenver I turn on my Mac now (after no problems when I stopped using it months ago), it goes to the white start-up screen with the Apple logo, and a grey progress bar below it. It gets to about a quarter of the way done and then just shuts off the computer.
This led me to believe it was definitely a hard drive issues. Did a bunch of "fsky -ly" (not sure EXACTLY the keys, but you'll understand what I mean!) commands to try to repair it, but that didn't work. Started in safe mode, which also didn't work. Started it up with Command-R to run disk utilities to see if it could repair the hard drive, but it told me that it couldn't and wanted me to restore the HD and back-up everything I could.
Now, my problem is, I can't get on the computer to back it up. All I want are these specific pictures off of it but I can't start it up or anything to even put them all on a memory stick quick and fix it to pass off to my uncle.
Question is, is there any way to get these files off before I restore the hard drive?
I don't think I can offer too many specs. It's OSX Mountain Lion, Macbook Pro, from what I can remember I think it was mid-2012, but I can't make any promises. If there are any more questions about specs I may be able to remember but none of the top of my head.
Thanks so much for at least reading, hope someone can help (even if it is just to say no).

MiraMelody,
you can try the “emergency” backup method on this Apple page in the “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility” section (skipping step 6 since you already know that your filesystem is irreparable). Note that this method isn’t guaranteed to work, given the current state of your filesystem.

Macbook Air In Apple Repair For 3 Weeks.

I sent in my revb air to apple on Dec 15th. They recieved it and repaired it sent me a email twice that it was on its way back. Called yesterday and they said now that engineering had it because they have never seen a problem like this before. Should this be normal run around I have called several times and not gotten anything. Guy yesterday told me he would call me back within 24 hours and have not heard from him. What should I do?

Which ports on a macbook pro can be used for start-up disks?

I'm looking to buy a mac book pro, I'd like to know which ports can be used as an external startup disk, and how would tthe boot speed compare?
Firewire would seem as if it should boot twice as fast as an external usb2, but can firewire be used as a startup? Can Thunderbolt be used as a startup disk? I havent seen any devices with that interface, but that doesnt mean there cant be, or aren't curently...Any help? Thanks in advance

Just edited the question to reflect what I meant I thought I recalled creating a bootable SD card for my 13" MBP but couldn't be sure. I've tried so many different things and I'm terrible at documenting what I've done. After nearly 20 years in the tech biz you'd think I'd have learned.

Sorry, but that opportunity has long passed. Your options now are:
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
     Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
         See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

See my Mac Malware Guide.
This issue is more complex than some of the responses you have gotten are indicating. You definitely should avoid Norton, but there actually IS malware out there, and all anti-virus software is NOT "snake oil." Don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise, as they don't know what they're talking about.
Although you should be able to do without anti-virus software just fine, there are some perfectly good reasons to install it and some good anti-virus apps to use if you decide to do so. Further, even if you do avoid anti-virus software, you need to understand what the threats are so you don't end up thinking you're totally safe and do something you shouldn't.

Apple does not repair devices, they replace them.
Out of warranty replacement is available, pricing varies by model and country.

No one here would know for sure...my guess? Somewhere around US $700. You'll get it done cheaper at a third-party repair shop.

Can I get my iphone repaired for free?

I think there is a problem with my Iphone 3GS. I got it as a gift just over a week ago (not sure if it has had previous owners or not) but since I've had it, it seems to have a problem with charging. Now and again when I plug it in to charge it will come up saying 'charging accessory not supported' or something along those lines but I am using the official charger that came with the phone. I have swapped wires and tried multiple chargers but they all seem to have this problem. The phone was on the latest IOS software when I received it too.
It happens on/off and it could be fine for a few days and suddenly it will start doing it again. The phone vibrates as if it is about to start charging but on the second vibration the messages comes up. When the phone reaches 100% charge this messages also occurs and I've asked other Iphone users who have said that it is just my phone that does this. Is there a problem with the phone and can I get it repaired for free? as I believe I have not done anything to cause the problem and it is a fault with the phone itself.
I was told the phone was only a couple of months old so I thought it would still be under warranty but different websites seem to say different things when I type in my serial number.
Serial number: 810164783NP if anyone could tell me how old the phone is. Thanks.

You can tell from the serial number that your phone was manufactured in the 16th week of 2010 (3rd through 5th digit) and the Apple warranty is 1 year from the date of initial activation. Note that the warranty follows the phone.
However, in your case with the SN you provided, your phone is a 16GB black 3GS locked to O2 in the UK and was originally sold in the UK and has as the most recent activation date 6/15/2012.
Unfortunately, https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do shows that your warranty has expired.
I suspect that you are having a problem with the dock connector in the phone not making a consistently good contact. As others have mentioned, make sure that your connector is clean (no lint) perhaps by using a soft tooth brush. Since you are using Apple chargers and cables and have swapped cables then if cleaning the port doesn't work it would appear that your only option is to have the charger port replaced. Now, I'm assuming that the phone was never opened to replace a screen, battery or other repair because if it was there would be the possibility that a connector is loose or bad.

Best stand for MacBook Pro and Apple LED Display

I am buying a MacBook Pro and Apple LED Display tomorrow. I want to have a two display setup, similar to what I have seen in the Apple Store. I believe they used a Griffin Elevator. I want to make sure of two things: that the stand is sturdy enough so that my laptop won't slide off of it and that I can adjust the stand/monitor so that the tops are level (so that moving my mouse from the laptop to monitor and back is smooth - i.e. the cursor doesn't jump up or down.
I like the fact that I can use this setup to go mobile very quickly, but what about my direct Ethernet connection. I wish there were a stand/dock such that I could hook everything up to it and then just undock the entire machine.

How did you solve the problem of closing the Macbook Pro when it was connected to the display and preventing it from going to sleep?
I am thinking about buying one. When I went to the local Apple Store the tech guys told me that it would be necessary to keep the laptop open slightly when connecting it to the display. They said it was something to do with cooling. It didn't sound right to me. I'm sure that Apple didn't solely intend for the Cinema Displays to be used by Mac Pro and Mac Mini users.
There must be a simple way to "dock" or connect a Mac laptop (Macbook Pro or Macbook) to an Apple Cinema display or any other display with DVI input while keeping the laptop closed with an external keyboard and mouse connected and still be able to use the SuperDrive.
I'm very curious about how you handled this.
All the best for now,
Ambrose

HT3302 Can apple repaire my I phone 5 for a fee if it is water damaged?

Can apple repair my iPhone 5 for a fee if it has been submerged in water and has water damage, or do I have to buy a new one? It is within the one year warrantee.

Free repair for water damage is not covered, under either AppleCare+ (note the +) or normal Apple warranty.
If you have AppleCare+, you can get a replacement for $49.
If you do not have AppleCare+ you can get an out-of-warranty replacement for about 1/2 the cost of a new phone. Ask at the Genus Bar.
