Can I Get A Replacement/New MacBook Pro Under AppleCare?

I have a refurbished, First Generation MacBook Pro. Don't ask how, but I've just recently begun to notice that it's suffering many of the problems the First Generations had including the heat problems, sometimes reaching 160-170 degrees Fahrenheit when doing simple web browsing with only Mail, iChat, and iTunes running in the background. Sometimes this happens even with only Firefox running. I'm also having the "whinning" problem.
So my question is this....
Since I'm having these problems, will I be able to get a new/replacement MacBook Pro that isn't a First Gen under AppleCare? Or at least have something done to elliminate or at least reduce these problems?

Regardless of anyone having any similar experience, the final determination will be up to Apple, and each situation is different.
So why not just take the necessary steps to get it looked at? If you would have contacted Apple by now you'd be well on your way to diagnosing the problem (hardware or software), and getting the repair/replacement process started if need be?
What troubleshooting have you done?

  • Can't get ibooks onto new macbook pro

    Hi
    I got myself a new macbook pro set it up and all great ibooks came up right away but my sister in law got the same macbook pro as i but i cannot get ibooks onto it, i have been to the app store but its not there i really cannot remember howi got mine onto my macbook, i think its when i set my macbook pro it asks you questions and then to setup your apple id in the set up process, well we had difficulty in trying to sign her in as it would not accept the password, even tho i have gone into iTunes and signed her in ok but not in set up, so we skipped that, so now we cannot put her iPad onto the iTunes on macbook either, is that why we cannot load the ibooks app onto the macbook because we cannot get her iPad hooked to iTunes,?
    gosh hope you can understand me again lol
    I have just asked a question about the set up so sorry i am repeating my self but this one was about the ibooks.
    Hope you can help.
    many thanks

    Hello Traceykate,
    iBooks for Mac is part of the OS X Mavericks. Check to see what version of OS X you and your sister are running. If you one of them is not updated, then go to the Mac App Store and download OS X Mavericks and you should be able to have iBooks. Check out the articles below for more information about iBooks for Mac, how to check what version of OS X you are running and a link to download Mavericks.

  • Can't get iTunes to new MacBook Pro

    My old MacBook Pro had such a small HD that I had to put my music on an external HD. I bought a new MacBook Pro with a 500 Gig drive. The other day I tried transfering my itunes library to the new MacBook. When I have the external drive connected the music plays, but when I don't it doesn't.
    The Advanced Preferences window shows iTunes pointing to the right place on my MacBook, but in fact there is no iTunes Library.
    This is what the finder looks like:
    But here's the location on my Ext. Hard Drive.
    It seems evident that my library did not move. I am unsure what to do as I don't want the whole thing to transfer again as the folder iTunes on my new MacBook is nearly 5 gig. What can I do? Followed the instructions for moving the library. But evidently the file that is most important did not move.
    I guess it may help to say what happens when I try to play a song with out the ext drive connected: I get an exclamation point next to the song. When I click on it, I get a window asking me to located the song.

    Quick answer if you use iTunes default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
    Do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in

  • Can't get internet with new Macbook pro

    As the title says I can't seem to get internet with my new Macbook Pro.  I get wifi fine, use the password on my router and that works, but I still can't get connected to the internet.  I know the router works, as I can use another laptop on it.  Any ideas on what to do? (other than call Apple which I'm doing when I get out of work.)

  • How can I get Minecraft onto my Macbook Pro?

    How can I get Minecraft onto my Macbook Pro? It is 15 inch Retina display, and it is Version 10.9.1 . I download the game, log in and press play, but as soon as it finishes loading, the blue bar goes away and nothing else happens!
    It goes from this:
    To this:
    And on the development console it says this:

    Hello EpicEmma,
    I just had this problem today!, but i have a SOLUTION ,
    right click the finder icon and click "go to folder"
    type : "~Library/ Application Support
    Find the minecraft folder, Backup your Saves, (drag the saves folder onto the desktop) *OPTIONAL*
    delete the minecraft folder, not the application.
    Open the minecraft Launcher (it will take a while to start up)
    Put in login info and when its loaded up, press "play"
    The blue bar will take a minute or two...
    And then... it should start normally
    U dont need to repeat the steps every time u open Minecraft. You can later replace the saves folder with the new one back to where it was whenever you want at the same place where it used to be before. Hope this helped!

  • Can I get a new macbook pro under the warranty?

    Its been two months since I got my macbook pro. I got the newer 2011 version. Less than a month into getting it my keys started falling off and less than 2 months later my hard drive went out for no reason and I had to get it replaced. And now my other keys are all falling off too. I don't understand. I feel like I was sold a refurbished mac because everything keeps breaking. Do you think its better to just get a new macbook pro? Is that even possible? I also feel like it takes a while to turn on than when I first got it. How long is the normal start up time?

    If you have had this Mac for less then a year then the computer is still under warranty.
    I also feel like it takes a while to turn on than when I first got it. How long is the normal start up time?
    It depends. If you have applications set to launch when you startup the Mac, that can slow down the amount of time it takes to boot your Mac.
    Open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the Login Items tab.

  • Can i use a brand new macbook pro without internet connection? I can't get through the setup without specifying internet.

    My friend bought on my advice a macbook pro. He has no internet connection at home. Getting started with the macbook pro, we can't skip the internet connection information box.
    This may seem a little strange in a www organised world, but he only wants to use the macbook for storing photos and music.
    Is there something we overlooked, or is internet connection a must?
    Thx

    There should be a place to select "Other network options" or some such wording, where you can select "This Mac does not connect to the internet."

  • Can't watch Netflix on new Macbook Pro and getting error message.

    I recently got a new MacBook Pro and I am new to using Macs. I logged into Netflix and clicked on a movie but I get a message saying "An unknown error has occured". I tried setting up the device or whatever but where am I supposed to get the code? I tried the 6 numbers at the bottom of the site and nothing works. Am I supposed to download Silverlight for Netflix to work on this computer? As I've said before, I do not know anything about Macs and I am not computer savvy and I just need to know how to get Netflix going on this computer. I had searched on Google if Netflix could even be played on a Mac and it's my understanding that one is able to view Netflix on a Mac. Please help. Thanks.

    Nevermind I got it working. Not sure if it's possible to delete this thread. Let me know if it is.

  • Can't activate Photoshop on new MacBook Pro

    Program Version: Photoshop Elements 8.
    I just purchased a new MacBook Pro today to replace my three year old MacBook. I sold my old MacBook after I backed it up onto an external hard disk via Time Machine. I have used migration assistant to import everything back onto my new Macintosh and Photoshop throws an error saying that I cannot activate Photoshop because the serial number has been activated more than once (It is also used on my iMac).
    My old MacBook has been reformatted and is no longer with me so I cannot go back and deactivate that copy of Photoshop (I have eBay records and emails showing the selling and reformatting of my old Macintosh for proof). What should I do? Who do I talk to? I do not want to purchase another copy of Photoshop. I use Photoshop for graphics in Web Development in University so I need it back up and running!
    Thank You.
    ~Benjamin Anderson

    Yes, I realized that afterwards. To contact support for activation problems, go to the very bottom of the web page and click the Contact Adobe link and you'll see a place on the first tab for activation/deactivation. There are phone numbers in a drop down on the right side of the tab. Sorry, I can't link directly because I only get the US numbers here.
