Correct battery for my 13" silver macbook (not macbook pro)

After working with the live chat agent on apple.com and with a employees at my local apple store, I can't seem to find a battery that will fit my 13" Silver Macbook (not macbook pro) that I bought in 2009.   Can anyone help? 

Here's the battery you need on the Apple site http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB771LL/A#overview
And on eBay http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=a+1280+macbook+battery&_sacat=0&LH_Auction=1 &_sop=1&_dmpt=Apple_Laptops&_odkw=&_osacat=111422&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

  • Can I buy a replacement battery for my 13 inch Macbook Pro from Apple?

    The battery for my Early 2011 13-inch Macbook Pro is now completely dead, no longer even recognized by my computer.  Anyone know if I take it into the apple store if they can replace it for me?  I didn't see a battery in the Apple Store that would work, but would they have one there?

    Why don't you call them up & ask??????

    John, please refrain from posting your personal email in these threads.  It is not necesary and all communication to you can be done directly in these forums.  Posting your email address can open up you to tons of unwanted spam, among other things.  Really all you can do is search the internet for them.  My suggestion would be to google "case for late 2007 macbook pro".
    One will probably be very hard to find for a 6 year old model as it is on the borderline of being considered "vintage".  Ebay may be a good place to try too.

    Click on the Apple and then on about this Mac. In the new window, click on the "version 10.9.2" until you see the serial number displayed.

  • TS3297 Is it possible for itunes on my MacBook Pro to play songs off my networked WD external hard drive and sync to my iPhone? I prefer to not keep all my music on my laptop and I don't want to pay $25 a year to access my songs if I don't have to.

    Is it possible for itunes on my MacBook Pro to play songs off my networked Western Drive external hard drive so I can sync to my Mac to my iPhone? I do not want to keep any music on my laptop and I don't want to pay $25 to itunes match a year to access my songs if I don't have to.

    Hi turingtest2,
    Thank you for replying.  I've been looking at your posts about setting up iTunes using an external drive.  A bit of background info.  My old computer broke down, so I got a new one from work.  I've always kept my music files on my external drive (I have around 170GB of music).  I didn't follow the suggestions in the "migrate iTunes library" post because my old computer died on me.  However, I've looked at your posts about lay out of the iTunes folders.  Before connecting to iTunes on the new computer, I had reorganized my iTunes folder on my E: external drive, and created an iTunes folder which contains an iTunes Media subfolder.  The music files are in a Music folder, which is in the iTunes Media folder.  I've also put the following files in my iTunes folder: iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, iTunes Music Library.xml, as well as sentinel.  I then followed the advice you gave bmw99 on 2 Nov 2013 at 9.58 (sorry, can't copy the exact answer). 
    Just to clarify:  I'd like to keep all my music media on the E: external hard drive (the computer hard drive is too small), and I'm aware i might never have my playlists back, and that all the songs in my library might be ticked.  However, I don't want my library to be duplicated. 
    I'm at work at the moment, but will be back home in about 10 hours, so I can be more specific about folders / files names. 
    I'm glad you picked up my message and greatly appreciate your help.

  • Where can I get a replacement battery for my 13 inch MacBook for a reasonable price?

    I have been searching for a replacement battery for my 13 inch MacBook.  Does any one have any good recommendations on where to get one for a reasonable price?

    You can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.

  • Does apple replace battery for iphone 4 if its not under warranty?

    does apply replace battery for iphone 4 if its not under warranty and the iphone is a different color?

    http://www.apple.com/batteries/replacements.html
    iPhone Owners
    Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. You can extend your coverage to two years from the date of your iPhone purchase with the AppleCare Protection Plan for iPhone. During the plan’s coverage period, Apple will replace the battery if it drops below 50% of its original capacity. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery replacement for $79, plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.

  • Is there a MagSafe 2 compatible portable external power source for the retina display MacBook Pro?

    I’m using a retina display MacBook Pro with the MagSafe 2 connection.   I would like to have a portable external power source to extend the use of my laptop on long field trips where I am away from power sources. Swapping batteries is not an option for this generation of MacBook Pros.  There seem to be many options for PC’s and even iPhones/iPads/iPods but the MagSafe 2 connection seems to be the issue.  I saw one link that suggested buying an Apple MagSafe 2 power adapter and performing surgery on the power cord (using components provided by the vendor) so that the adapter would run on their back up battery.  I was hoping for a more esthetically pleasing solution. Any suggestions?  Does this product exist and I just missed it? Clearly, if a MagSafe(1) compatible external battery existed I could adapt that using the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 converter.

    Sparon,
    I wouldn’t recommend using an underpowered AC adapter with your MacBook Pro. It sounds as though the best solution would be to get a different laptop bag with a sufficiently large side pocket.

  • The battery icon on my (old) MacBook Pro turned red. Then black. What does this mean?

    The battery icon on my (old) MacBook Pro turned red for a few moments, then black. What does this mean?

    penny41,
    Thanks, glad it helped you to check your battery status.
    Something else to look at would be the cycle count, as you mention that your computer is "ancient". If you have a high number of cycles, it may also be a sign that the battery is tired and possibly nearing it's life span, and may possibly need to be replaced soon. If you see that again you may try a SMC reset to see if that helps, but if it continues you may need a new battery at some point. The battery icon will usually say needs service, or something to that effect.  For the later MBP's Apple claims a life span of up to 1000 cycles, of this also will be dependent on who the battery is used, on the older ones I'm not quite sure what the claims were, and I don't know how old "ancient" in your case actually means.
    I provide this for your info, so that you understand what may possibly be occurring.
    I wish you the best.
    SMC reset:
    Follow directions for what applies to your machine, a battery you can remove, or a battery you should not remove yourself.

  • Anyone else having extra long delivery time for the late 2013 macbook pro 15" 2.6ghz 1tb model?

    Anyone else having extra long delivery time for the late 2013 macbook pro 15" 2.6ghz 1tb model?
    As of today feb 15 i have been waiting for 78 days. Finland doesn't have an official apple store (only authorized resellers) It was my mistake because i should have bought from apple.com. But i think 2.5 months is too long and i have no information about when i can get it..

    The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 256 GB SSD costs $2,000. 
    The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,300. 
    With 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD it costs $2,500.
    The high-end 15” rMBP with a 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,600.
    All cost $500 dollars more with a 1 TB SSD.
    So the SSD size is not a differentiating factor unless you prefer 256 GB.
    If you think you need 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD then you might as well spend the extra $100 for the high-end model.
    The high-end model will make a difference on gaming and graphics-oriented applications.
    They tend to run other applications at about the same speed.
    Both models are rated with 8 hours of battery life.
    Benchmarks on PhotoShop comparing memory sizes:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5659174?tstart=30
    The speed was about 10% different between 8 GB and 16 GB models.
    On other applications your mileage may vary.
    Application benchmarks:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/2059215/15-inch-retina-macbook-pro-review-a-tale -of-two-laptops.html
    The low-end and high-end performed the about the same on non-graphics oriented applications.
    Graphics oriented benchmarks:
    On the Cinebench OpenGL benchmark the high-end was about twice as fast.
    On the Unigine Heaven Benchmark benchmark they ran at about the same speed.
    On the Unigine Valley Benchmark benchmark the high-end was about 1.5x as fast.

  • What is the best external battery to use with a macbook pro retina?

    Looking for the best option here. What is the best external battery to use with a macbook pro retina?

    You should check your date of purchase against the manufacturer's warranty
    or guaranty since some of those better brands have some recourse should
    they fail within a specified time period. A good reason to save dated receipts.
    Since solid-state USB drives probably don't (all) use a wear-leveling software
    to equally utilize their recordable space evenly, it is possible that some of these
    may exhibit a failure in some sector areas due to excessive over-writing. If the
    ones you use do not have such a technology or an undercounted total capacity
    with a means to automatically write in other sections, you may have to consider
    manually using a disk utility to zero-overwrite and reformat them occasionally.
    Even so, that may only help a marginal flash or thumb drive work a little longer.
    Should a camera memory card fail you still may be able to attempt with margin of
    success, to +recover image files+ from it. re: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
    The standard default format they ship with works well for most file types; so if
    you aren't moving OS X or Mac app specific files around on a USB flash drive,
    the original format should be fine. Oh, you can use Disk Utility to attempt to do
    a repair; but in some cases you may have to reformat them, etc.
    {Some of the flash drive warranties or guarantees may vary from between regions;
    so if you have one with a '5 Year' guarantee in the US, other rules may apply in EU,
    or when you seek to replace an item under warranty outside of where it was bought.}
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Does OS X Mavericks shorten a battery life time in Retina Macbook Pro?

    Does OS X Mavericks shorten a battery life time in Retina Macbook Pro?

    Thank you again for your advice, and I am sure your right but as a simplton I have to argue that the problem is asociated with Mavericks in so much as - one does not have any of these issues running any previous OS and therefore, the issue is a Mavericks one when upgrading.  It is all to easy for the techies to say "its on your mac' if proper testing and development had been done on,  at the very least , the apple software the upgrade should not have issues.  its a bit late after installing and having Apple update remind you all the time to upgrade then to say sorry - your fault for having incompatible software like mail .  However, I suggest you look at the other apple logs / site that complain of battery drain after mavericks they all point to issues that are as a RESULT of the upgrade and yes technically you will argue that is because the original software in not compatible or some such.  Lets not go on and on I have sorted the problem - don't use Mail and battery life is OK, Use mail and watch it drain.  Once again thank you please don't feel the need to respond.

    The cheap & easy way is to just drag the app to the Trash.
    If you want to get all of the associated files use an app deleting app like the free AppCleaner;
    http://www.freemacsoft.net/appcleaner/
    Just drag an app and drop it on the AppCleaner icon in the Dock and it will find and present to you all the files it thinks are associated with the app. You can uncheck any that you want to keep and then let AppCleaner Trash the rest.

  • I recently purchased, from the APP store, Lion for use on my MacBook Pro.  I wish to upgrade my IMac to Lion also.  Do I need to make a 2nd purchase or will the single purchase suffice?  If the single purchase will suffice, how do I facilitate ?
