Hello, my MacBook just fell on the floor and there is a massive smash on the rear aluminum part. Is it fixable? Does the warranty cover this type of damage? If not, how much would it cost me to get it fixed?

PS: I bought it on the USA, but currently living in Brazil . I guess though there is a apple store in the shopping mall.
Accidental damage is not covered by warranty. As to cost to fix, we can not say as we do not know what internal/external components were damaged. Take the computer to an authorized repair center for assessment and estimate to repair.

How much would it cost me to get three typing keys replaced on my mac book pro 13"?
my macbook has three missing keys on the key board. i would love to know how much it would cost me to replace them.
Do you still have applecare on your machine? If so then you might be able to get replacement at no cost to you, however is you do no thave the apple care then you might need to pay a little to get replacement keys. Your best bet is to go to the Apple Store and ask the genius.

NVDA(Video): Channel exception! exception type = 0x1 = Fifo: Fifo Method Error
NVDA(Video): Channel exception! exception type = 0x6 = Fifo: Parse Error
My iMac freezes and crashes and I get the above message in the kernel log. I have done a few reinstalls from time machine but it comes back.
I get to the point where I want to erase the disk and do a clean install but I get afraid that the kernel will panic during install/ I will lose the registration keys to software/ or that I am just wasting my time.
Has anyone truly fixed this? Is an erase and install going to help?
My first crash happened a week or so after updating to 10.6.8. I was watching videos in full screen mode. When I pressed esc it froze. (Sometimes the audio continues but the iMac is frozen.)
So I stopped use Chrome but it followed me to Safari. I like YouTube Videos and can't watch them in safe mode -no sound.
After installing from a time machine back-up and just re-installing my Mac will boot normally but it doesn't last long and I often can't even boot to CD. It sometimes crashes in the finder.
What's going on?
This computer is old but should have tons of life left- if you've been here how did you get out of this mess?
How much is it going to cost me to get my computer back?
I can't do a hardware test because I don't know where the original disks are but tech tools and the system profiler assure me everything is OK.
Any moral support is welcome.It could be a failing drive or logicboard (GPU), it is old and has probably served you well, you can take to an Apple store and they will diagnose it for free, and give you your options, but it is old and are you willing to pay much money to have it repaired? You are probably better off replacing it.
There is some software for data ercovery such as Disk Warrior, but it's not cheap.
Or ask about this program
http://nwsinglespeed.hubpages.com/hub/Do-You-Know-About-Apples-Flat-Rate-Repair- Pricing
You can try shutting down and try a SMC reset

and see if it will boot, if it does try to do a back up, but something sounds as though it may be in failure mode.
Good luck -
My brother has been locked out of his ipod touch and weve tried everything to get back into it. Is the apple store able to repair this? or are we able to exchange for a new one? If so what would be the cost?
Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
Apple does not do trade-ins. An exchange is only for a device that is no longer working - dead, for example. Not like yours which is probably fixable. Exchanges are only done for an exact same refurbished model, not a new one. -
Hi, I was just wondering how much it would cost to repair the rear camera of my iPhone 4s. I dropped it and it won't work and I hear something rattling inside when I shake it. How much would it cost to fix?
If you have a tool, try removing the battery cover and chech out. Some times the camera pin may have been misplaced. If so, you can fix it yourself.

I plan to buy an iphone 6 from New York. I am from India and shall be using the phone in India. Is it possible to get an unlocked iphone from the store? If yes, how much would it cost?
It is going to be months before any unlocked iPhone 6s will be available.
Also be aware that the iPhone purchased in the USA will only have warranty service in the USA. Any warranty service will require you to bring it back to USA. -

Apple does not have a trade-in program. They do have a recycling for credit program, but you are likely to get more for it if you sell it yourself.

how much would it cost to bring my ipod touch 4th generation to the apple store and get the storage upgraded from 8gb to 16gb?
Apple doesn't do trade ins. You can get 10% off your next purchase for recycling your old iPod through Apple.You'd do better to erase your iPod and sell it on ebay, then use the money toward a new iPod. Hope this helps, good luck, Cheers.

I took my iMac 2010 to a "Third Party" company to replace my hdd, they did, but now it will not boot. if i took this to the Apple store, how much would it cost to fix? if i buy my own SSD (£70) Thanks a LOT!

Well, this "third party" is going to put my old hdd back and not charge me any money (as he did not fix it) but i think its better off taking it to an AASP because i have a feeling Apple store will charge way too much.
The way I read that comment – you seem to suggest the Mac was broken before the third party replaced the disk - is that the case or was it working before the HD was replaced?
Since the Mac is out of warranty you will have to pay for any repairs wherever you take it. Authorised Apple service centres will be able to get parts whereas any non certified technicians will have to use 'grey market' parts since Apple will not sell parts to the public. These may be reconditioned or not official parts - it's a risk to use them. Visit the Apple store & ask them - there is no point in lying about it being handled by a third party. An Apple tech may be able to tell when they open the case, depending on how meticulous your third party was.
If you are handy with a screwdriver & have tools and a lot of patience you could use a guide on iFixit.com, but there is no indication of why this Mac not booting up.
It could be that the disk is not formatted correctly.
Are you sure the tech copied an OS onto the disk? Did they install the OS for you or did they clone the old disk?
Can you boot from a backup disk or from an install disk? Does the disk appear in Disk Utility when booted from another OS (either the installer or a backup).
'Not booting' can mean so many things, what does booting do exactly? Grey screen, black screen, any noises or tones, any signs of life at all…?
If you look at the iFixit guides you will see many fiddly connectors, if the tech failed to hook them all back up it could explain the failure, or perhaps you just have a disk that is 'dead on arrival' - sometimes that happens. A properly trained technician should be able to figure that one out. -

How much would it cost to replace the IC chip for an Iphone 4s?
Take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar and have them check it...if you still have AppleCare coverage it may be something they can replace the iPhone for free under that extended warranty. If not, they will let you know more about your options and costs.
If you cannot get to an Apple store, you can try service through the appropriate country support number found in http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 or try the ExpressLane at https://expresslane.apple.com to open a service request ticket. -
