Can I change my iMac to a Macbook?

I have an iMac 21.5 inch, however the wireless keyboard is faulty. It has been just more than a year and is in great condition, not a single scratch. Do you think if I took everything to Apple and showed it to them I could get another Macbook? Maybe one that's refurbished and swap them? Is that realistic/possible?
Many thanks

No. If it's out of warranty they will simply charge you to repair it. If it's in warranty then the repair should be free. If you want another MacBook Pro then you can go and buy one. Then sell your iMac.

  • After the latest update, all my apple products reverted to an old icloud account.  As it no longer exists, I cannot get into it to delete it and add the correct id.  How can I change this, especially on my Macbook pro?

    After the latest update, all my apple products reverted to an old icloud account.  As it no longer exists, I cannot get into it to delete it and add the correct id.  How can I change this, especially on my Macbook pro?  There is no p/w related to it and even though I tried to reset "password" it won't allow as the id does not exist, neither does the email associated with the old id.  How do I switch it to a newer id?

    It's all rather odd because the old account cannot 'no longer exist' - if you don't have the correct password you won't be able to get into it, but you can't actually delete an iCloud account from the server.
    I'm afraid you will need the services of iCloud Support. If you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

  • Can you sync the iMac to the MacBook?

    I am new to Apple and love them!
    Is there any way to sync the i Mac to the Mac Book so that all the files are the same on both machines after traveling etc.?

    Yes.
    1. Get an external hard drive large enough for the larger hard drive in the iMac or the Macbook. Start be being sure you have identical OS X versions on both computers (be sure it's not just the version, but the build. The newest models may have a different build.) Then clone one of the computers to the external drive. Move the external drive to the other computer and boot from the external drive. Clone the external drive to the other computer. Periodically you can update the clone on the external drive, then re-clone to the other computer.
    2. If all you need is to maintain your documents then get a USB flash drive (available up to 32 GBs) and simply copy changed documents to the flash drive in order to transfer them to the other computer.
    3. Connect the two computers via your home network. Enable File Sharing (Sharing preferences) so you can copy documents back and forth between the two computers over the network.

  • Hi, I can't put a pontuaction mark in a password to acess one of my accounts (I can't remember the master password, so I can't change the previous one). MacBook Pro 10.6.8 Could you please help me?

    Hi, I can't insert a pontuaction mark in a password (which I did until yesterday) to acess one of my accounts. I don't remember the master password, so I can't change that one. I have a MacBook Pro and 10.6.8. Could you help me, please.

    What I'd do in this situation:
    connect both macs to same LAN
    turn them on
    login to new mac
    go network, find your old mac
    connect using "connect as" button (up right of window)
    use credentials from login you can't access - mean user name and password. If you still can't add that ~ you can copypaste password there from any text editor
    You will get full access to all data of that blocked account - just copy all you need
    Other way:
    connect both macs to same LAN
    turn them on
    login to new mac
    on new mac run "migration assistant" from Utilities folder
    tell there that you want import account data from other mac
    follow instructions of migration assistant
    thus you'll import account to new mac - but probably with filewault enabled and same password, I didn't check this in such situation
    Try first method first )

  • Can I connect an iMac AND a MacBook Pro at the same time on icloud ?

    I arrived without a problem connecting my MacBook Pro icloud but I can not open a session with my iMac when I get the Apple ID and my password and he said "The login is currently impossible.Try reconnecting" and below the two boxes there writes : "Apple ID or password not recognized". I do not understand why, while on the same iMac I connect without problem on www.icloud.com

    After 1 or 2 reboot system I managed was enter my MacBook Pro my AppleID and it is connected I managed so to have the flow of "Stream Photo" from my iPhone 4 S to my iPad 2 on the MacBook. But incomprehensible how the function "find my Mac" not recognize the MacBook Pro in "iCloud.com" or App in the iPhone 4 / iPad 2. Thus I do little "see the iMac, iPhone 4 and my iPad 2" and not the Macbook Pro !?!
    I am sorry about my English quality but I'm not English speaking this text is translated by Microsoft Translator.

  • Can i change a graphics card in macbook pro retina 15?

    Dropped a coke on macbook pro retina 15 and need to change a graphics card can i do it???

    The gfx hardware is integral with and soldered to the logic board, so "no" to your question.
    If you have a black screen after a spill of a carbonated (= mildly acidic) drink, you've probably zapped more than graphics hardware.
    Many such spills are not recoverable. The repair price can approach the cost of a new computer. If you have honmeowners'/renters' insurance, put them on notice of the accident ASAP. Many people have found that their home policy covers accidental damage to electronics including computers, subject to a deductible. Often it's the only financial help you'll get in recovering from a liquid disater.

  • Can we change the screen of a MacBook Air? because mine is  scratch cleanable,,

    The information on my MacBook Air,

    Julien,
    The system normally picks up the settings from the browser and presents the page in the local language if found - we have 16 translations if I recall correctly. Default is English. This allows the user to get started without having to go into the bcentral pages and customise the interface - they may not understand the default language and therefore be stuck.

  • Can't change a wallpaper

    I can't change a wallpaper on my MacBook. Whatever I do it remains the same. I've already cleaned all the cashe, installed the 10.7.4 Combo Update, tryed onyx osx, but nothing worked for me. What could be the problem and how to resolve it?

    That command can't cause a white screen, all it does is restore your desktop's default settings as it was shipped. Thus, some other software is interefering with your system.
    1. Are you using any alternative finder program like Path Finder, for example?
    2. Does doing a control-click on the desktop bring up a menu?
    3. If the answer to 1 is  'No' and 2 is 'Yes', post the list of apps shown here:
     > System Preferences > Users & Groups | Login Items
