Dropped the computer, charger doesn't fit right. Help?

I recently dropped my MacBook :'( and I didn't think it would have any lasting effects. HOWEVER, now the charger doesn't fit into the socket. I examined it and I THINK that the socket has been distorted by the fall. Help?
p.s. I'm actually a middle school student, so if you answer this question, PLEASE write in regular English

What model of Mac do you have? (Open 'System Profiler' and look at line 2. My computer says 'MacBook4.1')
Once you know your model you can locate the appropriate repair guide on ifixit.com. It sounds like your "magsafe board" may have gotten damaged or knocked loose.
You may want to consider taking the computer to a professional repair shop. You don't want to accidentally turn a minor repair job into a major repair job (and get your parents mad in the process).

I've had my ipod shuffle (2nd generation) for a long time now and after a year and a bit of not being in use it doesn't work. When I connect it to the computer it doesn't come up. Can my ipod be charged or fixed?

That is about normal. You can maximize battery life by changing some settings. See:
Apple - Batteries - iPod
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less. Google for more.

Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. You can purchase a replacment for about $10

Car charger doesn't fit with bumper case!!!!!!!!!

Hi
Just got my new bumper case on the free offer and it look great BUT my car charger doesn't fit with the case on ( I have tried 2 different types)
The house charger fits fine.
The car chargers were bought of the net, will I need one form the apple store to get it to work.
Has anyone esle had this problem?
This is my first I phone and its brilliant but this case fiasco is annoying!!!!
Cheers Sandy

Hi,
This is an unfortunate fact. Some aftermarket products don't fit. I have an iTrip and I had to modify the plug to fit in. Simple with a dremel tool. File will work too. Cheaper than buying a new charger/FM transmitter.

Hi vanover7,
It sounds as if when you connect your iPad to your computer it does not show up in iTunes, is that correct?

You can not prevent it using any setting on the phone, just as you can not do so with any digital camera.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes Installed on your computer ( v 11.1)
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download

The Iphone 4 patch IOS 7.6 is suppose to be a security update but it freezes the phone and doesn't reset. Help I need my phone. What makes the phone go back to normal? There is nothing but a simulated plug in wire and an ITunes icon on a black screen.

wqn02h, first thing I would do is use Disk utility to repair permissions. Once this is done. Make sure you have the latest versions of the software you use. Also, check the manufacter of your printer/scanner for updated software. If they don't have updated software there are 3rd party alternatives that will work.

Ok, it's just a glitch that it's not auto-rebooting from the disk.
Please backup your personal files off the machine to a regualr external drive and disconnect all drives before doing anything
Take the 10.6 disk out and clean and polish the bottom with a very soft clean cloth and a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol to cut the oils.
Stick the disk in and reboot holding c key down, this will make it boot from the disk and you can install Snow Leopard that way.

Dropped the computer, charger doesn't fit right. Help?
