Do I have to back up the data of my macbook white unibody if I am changing the screen because of the crack problem at the the back of the screen?
They told me to bring it to the genius at the apple store. They will change it for free but I don't have any physical place to back up my computer, they said it will take a coupe of days. I am not really sure if I have to back it up.
Thank you.

Cracks on either side of the hinge on my Macbook White Unibody (purchased mid-2010)
Hi there. My Macbook White (purchased mid-2010) has developed cracks at either end of the hinges, and they are beginning to move up the back of the screen. I am no longer under warranty, and was wondering if they would repair it, and how much it costs?
Also, my friend had a similar problem, and by the by off to university next year so funds are tight, and he, having had to pay £180 recieved a brand new Macbook Pro. I wondered if I would perhaps be able to benefit from the same treatment?
Cheers.i had the exact same problem with mine and i hadnt even noticed it ! i took it in to the apple store for another problem that i needed doing and the person serving me notcied it. Now my laptop was out of warranty, but the guy said that they would repair it for free. I thought this might have been a gesture of goodwill as i have had so many problems but when i looked it up, they had done it for alot of people. Plus they did it in one day.
but if you have to pay the bill said
Display Module £150.00
Hardware Repair labor £24.00
VAT £34.80
Total £ 208.80 -
I have installed mountain lion on my early 2009 macbook (not unibody) and it is terrible, it's like owning a windows pc again (almost) What can I do? I paid for mountain lion, is there any way of giving it back and getting a refund? obvisoulsy after unintalling it. I couldn't see any reason why it would be bad for my particular macbook, and it downloaded without a problem.
In what way is it terrible? Mountain Lion is pretty stable. If you are having problems, most likely they are unique to your particular system and can be fixed. If you don't like some of the new features, that does not constitute reason for a refund.
If that does not suit you, you will have to discuss a refund with Apple, as they are the only ones who can say. Note that the App Store terms do say that all sales are final, so you are not guaranteed a refund, especially since whatever problems you had are not due to defective software. -
Since I upgraded to IOS 7.0.2, many times I am unable to answer the calls. Then I have to switch off and on to answer the calls. I checked with my three friends who updated and they are also facing same problem. Kindly let me know the solution.
Since other millions of people updated and do not have that problem - it means one of two.
1.Your friends lied to you and do not have that problem and in that case only your installation of ios7 got corrupted and you need to restore your phone.
2.Your friends didn't lie to you and all 4 of you need to restore phones (that way reinstalling ios 7 properly)
here are instructions for restore and you may have to backup before restore.

I Recently updated the software on my MacBook Pro. Now, my computer no longer recognizes my external hard drive. Could this be related to the software update and, if so, how do I correct the problem?

Have you tried all the ports?
Have you tried with a different cable?
Have you tested all the ports with other devices to see that they are functioning?

will all my music transfer from the mac to my macbook air? I don't want it to because there is too much and the air will not hold it.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, when you are going to turn off or restart your Mac, you will see a box called "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window. Untick this box and see if the App Store opens automatically in the next startup.
If it starts, open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items, and see if the App Store shows up. If so, remove it from this list -
I'm looking for screws for the bottom of my macbook pro unibody.
I need screws for the bottom of my macbook pro unibody. They started falling out after I upgraded my RAM, apparently they had some type of threadlock on them. Apple was of little help and directed me to a an apple store or service center which is not convienent. So far, I've been only able to find the 'old' pack of 5 screws, not the pack of 10 that my mac requires. I did find one seller on ebay advertising them but would like to avoid that path if possible. Any help in this matter will be greatly appreaciated. Thanks
No this is not a common problem. Have you had the bottom off before?
The factory set screws you see a bit if blue lock tight which makes it more difficult the first time out.
They can replace the screws over the counter at any authorized repair service or Genius bar:

Microsoft Office 2011 no longer opens because "there is a problem" after updating mountain lion when the app store said there was an update available this morning. Reinstalling did not work. What's the problem?
Has your problem been solved by the updates??
Have a similar problem. This MacBook opened all MS Office programs in Dec2012 but no longer does in Feb2013. Went to Microsoft/mac/downloads but none of the three updates would run citing a problem "version of software needed to run this update was not found on this volume".
MacBook: 7.1, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4 GHz
Microsoft Office 2011: version 14.2.3

My IPad has been stolen and I was trying to track it on 'find my ipad' but the thief kept it offline. I just saw him change my user id. Any recommendations on how I can keep tracking the stolen device?
Yes, I filed police report, but there is nothing they can do until I get back to them on the tracking. It's been offline. I'm sure the whoever took it can find a way around breaking in the ipad..i really was hoping to get my pictures and videos of my kids back

When I try to sign on to Mac App Store I get the message "Your device or computer cannot be verified" Yet I can sign on in iTunes no problem. I've tried all the suggestions from App Support but no luck. What am I doing wrong?
What troubleshooting techniques have you tried? Have you restarted the app? Have you restarted your computer?
One idea is to Trash this file; Mac HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist and restart. -

Forgot the password to my MacBook White
I forgot the password to my MacBook White, and it won't let me in . Please give me some help!!!
Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.
