Can't get new logic board hint to work

after days of trying to resolve my new logic board problem of my time machine back ups not being recognized through using the terminal as suggested, i am giving up for now. i will keep my external hd and the info on it and just back up my important stuff to dvds for now. Is there any other way to get the info off my external hard drive back up so that it would make sense to my computer with a new logic board. Any program, etc.

I assume you are referring to this mac os x hint
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080128003716101&query=Time%2Bmach ine%2Blogic
You need to know some basic unix knowledge to follow this hint. If you can't make it work there is no other way to do it. there are no programs for that either. you should start a new backup sequence. You can still access your old backups via browse mode. control-click on TM in the dock and choose "browse other TM disks".

Can I get new logic board without serial number? Machine was refurb and so serial on base is wrong

My MacBook is mid 2010 dual 2.4gz unibody white. I bought it refurbished from a company (not apple). It no longer turns on and showed no sign of degradation so I took it to the Genius Bar and they reckon its the logic board.
Problem is that the base on the laptop was replaced before I got it and so the serial number is not the right one and as it doesn't turn on, there is no way of finding it out.
I am wondering if it is going to be fixable?
Thanks in advance.

You need to have any repairs done by the vendor who sold it to you. Usually Apple will only deal with products purchased from them or an authorized reseller.
Motherboards are not "fixed." They are simply replaced.

Where can I get a logic board for a McBook Prp A1260

How can I get my Logic Pro 9 to work?

I've downloaded the lastest Logic Pro 9 from App Store and apparently after Basic Content Download and I've entered my password it seems to be done downloading soon, but the app vanish and it crashes.
I've tried to restart my Macbook and reinstall it but nothing works!
Can anyone help?
And please, I'm not so clever with this.

That requires you to enter the configuration correctly. You can find out the configuration for your email from your ISPs website in most cases. Or if you're using Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail you need only Google something like:
"Gmail configuration for Apple Mail" or "Hotmail configuration for Apple Mail" (without the quotes).
That should get you started..

Can't get new 15in Macbook Pro to work.

So I just bought my first Macbook Pro, halfway through the startup process it froze so I decided to reboot it. When I started it back up it stayed on a white screen and it had the "no" symbol, then switched to a symbol of a folder with a question mark.
I asked a friend of mine who owns a Mac and he said it was probably because Snow Leopard was not yet installed into the computer. So I inserted the startup DVD for Snow Leopard and the computer booted into the Mac OS X Installer and let me get to the point where it asks you to select the disk where you want to install Mac OS X.
The only problem is that it's telling me that it can't start up from my Hard Drive.
School starts for me in a few days and I really need to figure out how to get my Macbook up and running. Please help.
2.4GHz Intel Core i5
4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB

Hi Daniel,
Sounds like your friend may be right and there may be no OS for the system to boot from. I take it you bought this used?
If the installer won't install Snow Leopard to your hard drive there are only two reasons I can think of. Either the drive simply is not formatted correctly, which is easy to fix, or the drive broken. The former being more likely.
Can you launch Disk Utility from the installation menu? When you boot into the installer, you should see a menu bar across the top of the screen, one of the options being 'Utilities'. From there, launch 'Disk Utility'. Once in Disk Utility select your drive from the left hand side and then select 'Partition' from the right hand side. Format the drive with 1 partition and format as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". After thats done, quit Disk Utility and continue through with installed. If the drive is working properly, it should now allow you to install Snow Leopard to it.
If you did buy it used, there is a possibility that the previous owner wiped the drive before selling and didn't format it correctly.
Hope that helps

Can't get New 7232 DVR Multiroom to Work

I just received the "swap". The new 7232 DVR and sent back in my old 7216. When I try to activate the multi room feature through the IMG, it tells me I have no other boxes in my house, which is not true, I have two other 7100-P2's.
Any ideas how to resolve this? I tried the reboot, reauth in the IMG, still doesn't work.

try running the auto correction on the set top box, and then try to enable the multi feature again.

and then run your multi room thing. if it doesn't work then you'll probably have to reach out to chat support so they can enable it or call 800 VERIZON

Where can i buy a NEW logic board for my macbook pro 2012?

My video card has recently failed, in this model video card is sticked to logic board.
Does anyone know where i can buy a NEW logic board? Its a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro

"Where" questions are more easily answered if you give your approximate location. Especially important if you live in the US because there is a low-cost repair option for which you can ask.
If you are out of warranty and you live in the US, the most cost-effective solution is a depot repair. Instead of fixing the computer in an Apple Store, it is sent to a central refurbishment center and they fix anything that's wrong (other than damage to the case and/or display) for a flat fee of around US$325. It takes about a working week but it is worth it. All the posts here from people who have availed themselves fo this option were glowing.

Can I buy a new Logic Board for an iBook G3 700 12"?

The Logic Board in my iBook G3 700 12" just died. My local reseller says it doesn't qualify for the replacement program.
Anyone know where can I get a NEW Logic Board for my iBook?
I don't like the thought of buying a used on on eBay and having the same problem 6 months from now.
Thanks!

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Yes, but the best place I know actually installs it for less money than they charge you for buying one outright:

They offer a six-month warranty, which is better than most places (including Apple's own 90-day warranty on repairs).

Where Can i buy a Brand New Logic Board for my Macbook Pro?

My Macbook Pro (Mid 2010 13") logic board got fried, so i was just wondering if possible, where i could get a new logic board. Also, would the new 2011 i7 logic board (if purchasable), for the 13" as well be compatible with the chassis/body of my mac?

Apple would be the main supplier of any replacement parts.

Can applecare be extended with new logic board

My Imac is with apple having a new logic board fitted for the second time and before that they replaced the computer. Since my cover runs out in August 09 has apple been known to extend the cover when replacing the logic boards, if so how do you go about it.

If your iMac is still less than a year old, you can purchase the extended AppleCare out-of-pocket. If you already have an extended warranty, then you can no longer extend it any further.
Technically, replacement parts (such as a logic board) can have longer warranties than the rest of the computer. This is because replacement parts are covered by either a 90-day warranty, or the remainder of the limited/extended warranty, whichever is longer. This means that if you had a logic board installed on the last day of your warranty, the logic board would still be under warranty for another three months even after the computer's warranty had expired.

Can the newer logic boards still read the mac pro 1.1 2.66ghz duo core proc

i just bought a G5 and i am looking to upgrade it. I just bought the 2.66 ghz processors, and I am looking to buy a new logic board and was wondering if i bought a 2009 logic board would it still be compatible with the 2006 processors?

Unlike PCs (that stayed with one Hardware manufacturer year after year, and therefore did not change much of anything for decades) Mac hardware has been allowed to evolve over time. Macs have gone through several different processors from different manufacturers over the years.
It is a tribute to the superior engineering of the Mac Operating System that Apple has been able to extend and migrate Mac OS to accommodate wildly different hardware. Enormous incompatibilities tend not to appear all-at-once.
But change must eventually come. If you fancy running Mac OS X 10.6, it runs only on Intel Processors. The G5 is the last of the Motorola/IBM PowerPC processor series. The first was released about 1994 (PowerPC 601 in the 6100 series) and the last G5 was discontinued about 2006. There are a great number of people still running G4 and G5 Macs, generally using Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5. There are still a number of fairly vibrant forums on this Hardware and Software.
But if you want to end up with a working Mac Pro, you need to start with a Mac Pro chassis, not a G5 chassis. As Kappy points out the Processors, drives, peripheral interfaces, chassis cut-outs, Power Supply and most importantly Airflow/Cooling (with processor-controlled fans) are completely different, and there is no sensible way to adapt a G5 chassis to intel processors.
Starting with a Mac Pro chassis, the upgrades will only be difficult instead of impossible.

Keys 5-9 no longer work after water damage. Do I need a new logic board?

I had the smallest amount of water on my fingers when I typed something on my keyboard and now keys 5-9 no longer work. Will I need a whole new logic board for this? I've been into two Apple stores and both say I need to book an appointment online. I've been online and tried to book in at three different Apole stores within my area and I just get 'there are no slots available' how am I supposed to get this fixed if I can't book a session to see some!?! Sort it out Apply, it's why your products cost so bl**dy much isn't it!?

thanks, but I really don't think its the logic board since I can still plug in head phones and i can hear movies, etc.
also when i don't have my magicJack plugged in to make calls they now give you a magictalk dial pad to make calls and when i plug in the headphones again i can talk through the speakers and be heard and I can hear them too. Is there something I can used to maybe pull out the connection. I think it thinks the headphones are plugged in all the time.

HT1349 I received a new logic board and now my computer has no serial number under 'about this mac', and I need it to submit questions to apple. What do I do?

I can't find the serial number for my mac after getting a new logic board on recall for my macbook pro.

You can open System Profiler and see if it contains your serial number.
Or have the computer near a previous connected Wifi or on a Ethernet cable to your router.
Reboot holding the D key down for like what would appear to be 10 minutes until Hardware Test appears on the screen.
You can run a test if you wish.
There is a pane at the top if selected will give you your new serial number.
You also can use Terminal
You can quickly retrieve any Macs serial number via the command line by using the following command string:
system_profiler |grep "r (system)"
The command results will look something like this:
$ system_profiler |grep "r (system)"
Serial Number (system): C24E1322XXXX
If that fails you can give them your MAC address which is unique to each machine and there are records at Apple with it.
Open Utilities > Terminal. Copy, paste and press enter:
For your computers Ethernet (wired) MAC address: ifconfig en0 | grep ether
For your computers Airport (wireless) MAC address: ifconfig en1 | grep ether
