Choice of keyboard layout buying a refurbished Macbook Air or Pro?

Do I have a choice of a certain keyboard layout when I buy a refurbished Macbook Air or Pro?
I like to buy a Macbook Air or Pro in the Swiss Apple Online Store.
There seems to be no information at all which kind of keyboard layout (e.g. US QWERTY or German QWERTZ) is built in.
Thanks.
Timo

No further configurations are allowed. You would have to find one with the keyboard you want already present on the mac. I'm not sure where you can find info on how the keyboards in the refurb store are configured. I would assume QWERTY unless otherwise specified (at least in the U.S. Apple refurb store).

Buying a Apple Refurbished Macbook Air

I am considering buying a refurbished macbook air from apple directly and am wondering if this would be a good idea, i would save nearly $300 dollars. I am wondering though if it is going to hurt my resale value in the future substantially, and if it can be returned. Also when you check your warranty on product through apple will it say refurbished right their or will their be no signs that it has been refurbished. And if any of you have purchased products refurbished with apple especially macbooks do they show any cosmetic signs of wear.

Hi there,
It won't say refurbnished in the information about warranty. However refurbnished product will arrive without original box.
Yes, it can be returned, I believe time depends on country (15 days in Ireland), just like brand new macbook.
It's a great idea, for the past 2-3 years I bough dozen of refurbnished macbooks. None of them had any sign of ever being used, battery was always at it's first cycle. Either luck or Apple salvages insides of refurbs and provides them with new batteries, cases and keyboards...
I remember however buying plastic macbook back in 2008 refurb, which case was claerly scratched in many places, as if it was being used for a while. Nothing ever since though.
I'd go for it- they are great value, and you still have option of return. You get full 1 year warranty so you've got nothing to loose.

Macbook Air or Pro for gaming.

Hi i was wondering if any of you could answer a couple of questions for me, i am looking to buy a new macbook air or pro (not sure which) but i was wondering if i could play a PC game via bootcamp? would it work okay? Also would a wireless PS4/3 or Xbox 1/360 controller work wirelessly?
Which laptop would be more suited to this?
Thanks, Jake.

Refurbished MacBook air - can't set-up/login due to keyboard layout

Hi,
I received my 'new' refurbished MacBook air today, on going through the initial set up menu, i couldn't connect to wifi, so i skipped this section and clicked through the location selection and keyboard selection - choosing UK for both. I set up the MBA to my external HD using a back up from my old MB.
When i tried to login to the MBA after this i couldn't as my password is in english, and it turns out the language setting is in one that is just symbols (i don't know which). So I can't even log in to the new MBA - and i guess the keyboard language is the reason i couldn't connect to WIFI.
Has anyone got any ideas? Thank you!

Hi Tom thanks for your response.
No it doesn't look like that - it looks like it could be a font or an arabic language - none of the symbols are recognisable as letters.
The e key doesn't work at all, and the enter key appears as a symbol rather than an enter function.
Cheers.

I want to buy a refurbished Macbook Pro solely to use 'protools 8' on-nothing else. I am being told there are only certain year Macbooks Pro that will run this programme. I know I need 8gb, can anyone give me advice on what to buy/look for?

It appears to depend upon the version you will be using:

Based on what I can tell, you may have to go to the second hand market in order to get a MBP that will run a compatible OSX.
Ciao.

Can a Canadian buy a refurbished macbook of the american apple store?

It seems that the Canadian apple store has only expensive refurbished macbooks that I can't afford. Will I be able to buy a refurbished macbook of the American site and have it shipped to my home a address (in Canada) since the refurbished macbooks are cheaper? If its not possible, can someone recommend a laptop thats under $850 that is good for photo editing?

No. You must be in the US in order to access the US store. The US store will not ship to Canada.
Otherwise you could look for something on eBay.
This is the only refurbished product available for $850 USD:
*Refurbished MacBook 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo*
13.3-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen display
 2GB memory 
250GB hard drive
 NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics
 Built-in 7-hour battery

Buying a refurbished MacBook Pro. Which processor to buy, i5 or i7?

I thinking of buying a refurbished MacBook Pro 15". I can't seem to get any knowledgeable answers at the Apple store about the benefits of the i5 vs. i7 processors. I've been pretty happy with my late 2008 MBP but it's been dropped hard and is on it's way out. Any opinions about what to buy balancing processor, price, reliability? I'm a designer and photographer and the video processor is important also.
Thanks for any help.

The i7 is much better.

What should I buy with a Macbook Air?

I am looking at buying a 11in Macbook Air and I would like to know what should I buy with it?
What accesories do you reccomend?
And for time capsule what size hard drive do you reccomend?

I am pretty sure you meant Time Machine instead of Time Capsule. For external HD's almost any external HD would be adequate. The only brand I'm not a big fan of are WD's external drives although some posters have a lot of luck with them. Personally I like:
G-Tech G-DRIVE series
LaCie d2 Quadra series
OWC Mercury Elite Pro series
for their build quality and features. Personally I use 4 of the LaCie's but any of the others would be welcome on my desk too. If you are interested I noticed Lacie had teh 1TB available today as a refurbished model for less than $100, a great buy! The URL is:

When I checked earlier they had 45, as of this writing they have 14 so they're selling quickly.

Do refurbished macbook airs come with pages and the rest of the iLife suite as new macbook airs?

Thinking about adding a refurbished MacBook Air to the stable. Does anyone know if refurbished macbook airs come with pages the rest of the iLife suite the same as new macbook airs?

They may have iLife pre-installed, but not iWork. In any event you are able to get both for free when you buy a new computer. I don't know if this extends to refurbs. Nevertheless, you should be able to get iWork as a new Mavericks user. If you've already gotten them for your other computers, then the re-downloads are free.
iWork and iLife for Mac come free with every new Mac purchase. Existing users running Mavericks can update their apps for free from the Mac App Store℠. iWork and iLife for iOS are available for free from the App Store℠ for any new device running iOS 7, and are also available as free updates for existing users. GarageBand for Mac and iOS are free for all OS X Mavericks and iOS 7 users. Additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available for a one-time in-app purchase of $4.99 for each platform.

How can I get an album from my iPod Classic 80GB onto my refurbished MacBook Air?

Hi there
I have a new to me refurbished MacBook Air and an old iPod Classic 80GB. I've somehow managed to get my music off my iPod onto my laptop apart from one album which doesn't seem to have copied across. Please could anyone tell me how to do this? On my ancient iBook, back in the day, you could just drag music across to copy it but that doesn't work here. I've looked on Help about backing up, but it's a bit cond=fusing as the set up isn't the same the Help section mentions, although I must have managed to back up to have the rest of my music on my laptop at all.
Also, please could someone explain syncing to me? I've looked on Help, but i still don't know what it means.
Sorry if these are stupid questions, I'm not that clued up technically, thought trying to educate myself bit by bit now I have my own laptop.
Thank you in advance.

Ps Just to add a bit more information, I just realised there are loads of albums on my iPod I don't have on iTunes on my laptop. I wonder if the ones that /are/ on my laptop got there are there because there got there via me having the same apple id. I don't know if that's a ridiculous suggestion, but thought I'd better mention it.

Should I buy the new MacBook Air or a MacBook Pro

Should I buy the new MacBook Air or the MacBook Pro?

it really depends what you are going to be doing, if you are going to be video editing and doing intensive stuff the Macbook Pro.
if you are going to be just browsing the web and doing lite video editing and not that intensive stuff than you should go with the Macbook Air.
Also if you want a cheaper computer than you should get the Macbook Air. By cheap, I mean less expensive.

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.

Can i buy a smaller macbook air (64gb) but use the time capsule for additional data ?

can i buy a smaller macbook air (64gb) but use the time capsule for additional data ?

If you plan to store important "original" or "master" files and documents on the Time Capsule, then you might want to think about a way to back up those files to another hard drive.
Why? If the Time Capsule has a problem...and you have no backups....you lose everything.
