Can I replace my new macbook I got on Tuesday because of a scratch?

I know Apple has a 14 day return policy, but my grandma bought this macbook for me to start college off. Anyways I found a big scratch about one inch in length, on the bottom of my macbook. This is the mid-2014, 13.3 inch macbook pro retina display with i5, 250 gb of flash memory, 2.6ghz, 8 gb of ram. The macbook was bought under a student discount so I did get one hundred dollars off and a "free" one hundred dollar apple store gift card, but I want to know if I can just go in and exchange it for a new one because the scratch really bothers me. I used the gift card I got before to buy a tech21 hard shell case that is taking three weeks to ship and that is why my laptop hasn't been covered since I bought it.
if I return it, would I still have to pay for another gift card? or could they do an exchange? because I called in and have been getting mixed answers.
Thank you for your help

Ask at an Apple store. No one here can answer your questions (officially). Take receipts along.

Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
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.

After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.

I have a USB cable is broken. Can I replace the new one

I have a USB cable is broken can I replace the new one

Hi V_26th_heaven,
Your local Apple Store will happily replace the USB cable as long as the device you got it with (eg. an iPod) was bought less than a year ago. This is because the device and all included accessories have a one-year-warranty.
If you live far from an Apple Store, you can get Apple to send you a new cable via post and you would send off your faulty cable in a box that comes with the replacement cable. To do this, click on Support at the top of the page and select 'iPod Accessories' and choose your preferred method of service.
Good Luck,
Stefan

Can I take my new MacBook Pro retina to an apple store for them to transfer files

Can I take my new MacBook Pro retina to an apple store for them to transfer files from my PC? I am migrating from window 7. I was planning on doing myself but it looks like you need two thunderbolt to Ethernet adapters and two Ethernet cables? What is the best way to transfer? I live in a rural area and think maybe wirelessly may not be the best way? Thanks for any assistance!

Can I use my back up from my PC to transfer? I just backed up my PC to WD My Book. Will that work?
Probably will work fine. It's worth a try and won't do any harm.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2518
What you can transfer to your Mac depends on the files.
Photo files (.jpg .tiff etc) fine
Music files - some may need conversion software to be used in iTunes (unless you had iTunes on your PC) but free converters are there
Video files - ditto, some will work in iMovie, others may need converting to work
Text - Pages will read .doc and .docx files. Most Word processing files/spreadsheet files/presentation files can be read in iWork but if not, can use Open Office or Libre Office (both free downloads)
Windows programs (eg those with a .exe suffix) won't work on a Mac without installing Windows (e.g. via BootCamp).

I can't get my new Macbook to allow me to sync and still keep my phones existing iTunes library. Even though it is the same account it doesn't seem to recognise that my Apple ID is the same

I can't get my new Macbook to allow me to sync and still keep my phones existing iTunes library. Even though it is the same account it doesn't seem to recognise that my Apple ID is the same

If youre like me, I have so many Apple devices, I always move things over manually rather than remember what to sync and what not to sync........ There’s an option to UNCHECK sync on any device if that helps you in ITUNES.
On any device, like your phone, in ITUNES you can check the option for manual vs. automatically sync.

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't migrate to new MacBook Pro

Hi,
I have just brought home my new MacBook Pro, running 10.8. I can't migrate my stuff from my MacBook, which is running 10.8.2 - neither computer sees each other via wifi or ethernet cable. I have also discovered that my external hard drive with my backups on it is corrupted. I tried downloading the latest software update - it appeared to download, then I got the spinning wheel in the corner of the update window for awhile then nothing. I restarted the Pro & clicked on software update and it didn't install it. I have read that a few people are having trouble installing the latest update on 2012 computers.
Any ideas gratefully accepted, thanks.

Step by step:
1) Your old MB is running a newer OS X version than the new MBP. After migrating, you might discover some incompatibilties, e.g. the iPhoto library not opening on the new MBP, et al.
2) Probably you can't update the new MBP yet because for some new models the presently available updates don't apply, and it's unknown when one for you will be available. Just be patient.
3) In any case, and before migrating, you should have a proper fresh backup of your old MB. See that you fix the external drive (re-format with Disk Utility, then create new, full backup with Time Machine, verify it works).
4a) Once that's done, you may use that external drive to migrate from. Back to point 1) here...
4b) You should be able to migrate from one Mac to another, too, if they have a proper connection. Guess your network settings were wrong when you tried. Warning: WiFi is slow and might take forever.

Can I setup my new macbook air without the voice over?

I was given a new macbook air as a gift and if it cannot be setup or used without the voice over feature I will have to return it. I cannot imagine why anyone would think this is a good idea. I just want to use it like a laptop.... is that too much to ask?

I'm having the same exact issue. Got it as a gift, and can't get past the set up. I would try the fix dominic suggested, IF I could just get past the "What country do you live in" question. It won't let me select a country, and so far, can't access anything else on this thing until I get past that part... which I can't, after trying for 3 hours now.
The steps given in the 'voiceover' tutorial don't seem to do anything, but cause system error beeps.
I can't select a country via the 'mouse pad' either.

Can I buy a new MacBook Air and install Lion 10.7?

I am about to buy a new MacBook Air 13" and want to install Lion 10.7 on it. This is for a particular reason related to some of my apps being fine with Lion but not yet updated for 10.8.
So can I buy a MacBook Air which has 10.8 installed, and then erase te drive and install 10.7.4 from a DVD (which I already have here)?
Thanks.

You possibly have an option. If you are wanting to buy a "stock" model, as opposed to a "build to order" model, then you might be able to find a MacBook Air at a retailer, like Best Buy", who may have older stock with Lion installed. I'm not sure how long a retailer might have old stock. I suppose it depends on their policies and turnover. Any that are in stock are elligible for a free Mountain Lion upgrade, such that you would have the ability to run either, at your discretion.
Once I got my new MBA, one ofthe very first things I did was to create a clone backup. That way, I could more easily revert if ever I wanted to.

I can't sync my new MacBook Pro with iPhone

I got a new MacBook Pro with Lion OS and cannot make it sync to my iPhone G3

Can you be a little more specific? Do you mean you have set the sync options on the Device pages, Clicked Sync and it does not work, or you can't find the sync pages.

HP LaserJet 2100M - Can I Use w/New MacBook

I have a LaserJet 2100M postscript printer...it has a Mac Serial Printer port (I previously used it as local talk connection to my G3 PowerBook) and a Parallel Port. There is no USB port on the printer.
Can anyone give me an idea if I could use this printer with my brand new MacBook and how I need to set it up...for example, could I buy a parallel to USB printer cable? Or better yet, a Mac Serial to USB cable or switch. There are still current drivers for the printer so I would be all set once I could figure out how to actually connect it to the MacBook. If the cable switch route would work, will it still be able to print postscript...that is key.
I've looked into getting a JetDirect card for the printer, however because they are discontinued from HP, the only ones I can find are between $300 and $500. If I'm going to spend that much, I most likely would just buy a new printer. I don't trust the couple I've seen on ebay as they don't actually have HP marked on them.
I need some serious help with this. Thx! Kim

Get a USB-parallel adapter cable $10-30. Also install the alternate USB driver "usbtb:"

Yes it will print postscript.
