Do we have Sony lithium batteries in our new MacBooks or do we not?

Do we have Sony lithium batteries in our new MacBooks or do we not? If so, are they the same as those in those exploding Dells? If not how are they different?
If they are the same or similar should we replace them and with what? When willwe hear something definitive from Apple?
MacBook 13.3 Intel   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

Here is a article http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/15/technology/15battery.html?_r=2&hp&ex=115561440 0&en=7af8f0b380e906bb&ei=5094&partner=homepage&oref=slogin&oref=slogin
An Apple spokeswoman, Lynn Fox, said, “We are currently investigating whether batteries that have been supplied to Apple for our current and previous notebook lines meet our high standards for battery safety and performance.”

  • I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

    I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt or damaged. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

    Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
    Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
    Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
    If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
    Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

    Hi! I've got CS3 Design Standard - the actual disks and Software License certificate. It was installed on my laptop which crashed and could therefore not be uninstalled. I have now installed it on my new MacBook Pro, but cannot get it registered with the serial number. Is it because it wasn't uninstalled on the previous laptop? What to do now?? Thx!

    Maybe this can help someone else...  I simply had to properly uninstall CS3 and reinstall it again after that.  I think that sorted it!  I also remember having a similar issue with Macs at work a couple of years back.  Not sure whether the same applies to CS5/CS6.  Here's a link on how to properly uninstall CS3 on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS.  I'm on OS X 10.9.2 but it worked just fine.  Remove Creative Suite 3 and CS3 products

    Do you have a new Apple ID to use in NZ? If not open iTunes Store. Log out of your old Apple ID, then try to login. Select Create Apple ID from the dialog that appears. Make a new Apple ID for NZ with a NZ email address. Once that is approved and verified, log into the iTunes Store with the new Apple ID. This should fix all other issues.

  • I have Yahoo Mail synced on my new macbook pro. Keeps asking for password

    I have Yahoo Mail synced on my new macbook pro. It it consistently asking to re-enter the password. Does anyone else have this problem? I have deleted it and reinstalled it several times. It did not do this on my previous macbook.

    Does anyone else have this problem?
    There are several similar reports on this site every day.
    I've never used Yahoo mail and my knowledge of it is second-hand. This is what I've been able to gather.
    If you have a free Yahoo account, POP access to incoming mail from a mail client such as Apple Mail is not supported. A free account is accessible only through IMAP (and then perhaps only on mobile devices — the documentation is unclear) or the web interface.
    As for a paid Yahoo account, or an account through an ISP such as AT&T, you must enable POP access through the web interface. I've seen reports that you must periodically (every two weeks?) log in to the "Manage Account" page on the website to confirm your identity.
    I've also seen reports that eliminating all UPPER CASE letters from the password, and shortening it to no more than 7 characters, may help. That's barely, if at all, adequate for security, and you must be sure to choose the password randomly. It should not be easy to type or remember.
    That said, so many problems with Yahoo mail are reported that I can't recommend using Mail as a client for it. You might get better results with another mail client, such as Thunderbird. If not, just use the webmail interface. That's how it was designed to work. Better yet, don't use Yahoo at all.

    Eww, thanks for your reply, as it makes good sense, and common sense is practical when you walk into an Apple store.
    I guess all the reviews and great specs of the new MB pro's made me want one...
    I should probably use my current setup till it is totally outdated or simply is beyond repair.
    I could ask Santa Claus for one, but by than, the 2012's will be coming out..:)
    Thanks Eww for your reply, IAN....

  • I have a Canon 6D and the new Panasonic GH4 both are not in the list of supported cameras! What can I do?

    I have a Canon 6D and the new Panasonic GH4 both are not in the supported list of cameras in Finalcut Pro 10 ! What can I do???

    Plenty of cameras don't make the list for various reasons but work fine,
    If you have the cameras but not the application, downliad the trial version and see how it goes.
    If you have both the cameras and the app already, do some test projects to see.

  • TS4036 I have restored a backup into a new iPad but it did not downloaded all my photos. There is a message saying " downloading 515 of 1230" but it never finishes downloading. How can I get all my photod downloadeda.

    I have restored a backup into a new iPad but it did not downloaded all my photos. There is a message saying " downloading 515 of 1230" but it never finishes downloading. How can I get all my photod downloadeda.

    Sorry this solution is late but I just got off of the phone with Apple support and this worked. 
    Open iTunes
    Connect your iPhone and keep it connected during this entire process.
    In the iTunes menu at the very top (File, Edit, View) choose STORE> Sign in and sign into your iTunes account.
    Once this is complete look at the upper right corner of iTunes and you will see an iPhone and Store button, cick STORE.  Now you will be in the iTunes store where you see the advertisements of the various albums, songs etc.  Look on your upper left of the window for your itunes account name and in the black band next to your iTunes account name, you will see a House icon, then Music, Movies, TV Shows etc.
    Make sure the HOUSE icon is selected.
    Stay on this screen in iTunes and on the lower RIGHT, you will see an area that says- QUICK LINKS.  In that area click - Purchased
    After you do this you will be transported to another area of iTunes.  Here there will be a menu across the top- Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, Books are the choices. 
    Choose APPS and you will see the apps that you have purchased.  You will also see the apps that didn't download to your phone. 
    Find the apps that didn't download and click the cloud next to their name.  Doing this will download the chosen apps to the computer you are on. 
    Once you have downloaded the apps in question, in the upper right corner click LIBRARY.
    Now you should see the button that says iPhone because your phone is still plugged in.  Click the iPhone button and then click SYNC on the lower right to sync your iPhone.  
    The apps you downloaded will now be on your phone.
    Sorry for the long instructions but this is what works.

  • Once i have transferred my itunes to our new pc, the old pc will no longer be used is this a problem ?

    Hi Once I have set up itunes on my new pc through home sharing my old pc will no longer be in use, does anyone know if this is a problem ?

    If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
    If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
    Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
