Hi I bought my mac a month ago and there are times that I sit and start to load and gives me electric shocks when I get up, this is normal?

Does your chair have wheels?
Depending on where you are sitting, you can build up an electrostatic charge by moving a chair on wheels (like on carpet or one of those plastic chair pads).  On the aluminum bodies of current Macs, you can accidentally discharge when you go to touch the computer.

  • Bought an app one month ago. Now it demands that I repay the subscription fee for it. Tried to report problems on iTunes and just get referred back to Apple Support website. What do I do?

    Micromedex Drug Interactions. The app itself is free. A one year subscription costs $9.99. It worked fine for a month. THen an "update" was automatically installed and it now demands a new $9.99 payment. Thank you.

  • I had redeemed 2 $50.00 iTunes gift cards a few months ago. The last time that I checked my iTunes balance, it was $100.00. I logged in to iTunes yesterday and the $100.00 balance isn't showing up. Why would it be missing?

    I had redeemed 2 $50.00 iTunes gift cards a few months ago. The last time that I checked my iTunes balance, it was $100.00. I logged in to iTunes yesterday and the $100.00 balance isn't showing up. Why would it be missing? Would that happen if I changed my apple ID and password recently? Or would that happen if I de-authorized 2 devices? Would that happen if I deleted my music from my iPhone? Could someone hack into my iTunes account and take my money? Or maybe Apple charged me for something and debited my iTunes account? If you could please help me solve this mystery, I would greatly appreciate it

    Check your account's purchase history : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    If nothing shows then try logging out and back into your account on the computer/device that you are using.
    Neither updating your account id and/or password, nor deauthorising your account, nor deleting content from a device or computer's iTunes library will affect your balance

  • My ipod touch 5 is not working. I bought it about 9 months ago, is there anyway i can exchange it for a new one?

    I bought my ipod touch 5 about 9 months ago it is no longer working right there are vertical colored stripes on half the screen and it automatically is clicking things that i didn't want opened. Does anyone know if i can exchange my ipod for a new one (ordered it off of the apple website, don't believe i still have the e-mail) or kn ow a solution to this problem?

    Take it in for warranty exchange:
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.

  • Hello, I just bought my mac four months ago, and I am starting to have problems with it. It take about 3 mins to turn on, and its very slow. I have mac keeper and every week I scan it. Also I donot go to any bad websites, I just this computer for work.

    Can somone help me with this problem

    Restore it back to how it was when bought.
    Backup (THAT is the #1 step to clean and good running) your data and personal stuff, and keep your system updated.
    Don't install without research and reading. Don't install or use torrents etc.
    Use good judgement. I'd say common sense but that is sometimes uncommon.
    Probably when people get their disk down to less than 20% free is when the disk drive has trouble, and even new faster SSDs also or even more so need 20% free space to function.
    Take it in - my Mac is 7 yrs old, these things take 20 seconds to "turn on" and be back where it was. Waking from sleep even faster.
    Something is not normal or right if hitting power to boot or wake should be very fast.
    Unplug everything you don't need to and make sure that the System Preferences: Startup Disk is set to your disk drive and not say a network interface. Printers and other devices unplug and remove for now.
    Learn to use Recovery Mode. Disk Utility from there, to repair your disk drive.
    Add some web sites to your reading list that deal with the Mac OS - I started decade ago with
    http://www.macsurfer.com which was a master list of sites and headlines and then found a few that provided the best in ideas, news and troubleshooting advice and for what was happening in Apple world.

  • I forgot my password for my mac book retina which I just bought 1 1/2 months ago. Is there any possibility to reset it?

    Hi, I forgot my password for my mac book retina which I just bought 1 1/2 months ago.
    Is there any possibility to reset it? I guess (not sure) the operating system is os x.

    Forgot Your Account Password
    For Snow Leopard and earlier
         Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
    For Lion/Mountain Lion
        Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
         Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
         instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
         Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
         OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    If you are unable to boot from an installer DVD:
    (these will only work on Leopard or earlier)
      1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down
          the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
      2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each
          command line:
         /sbin/fsck -yf
         If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command
         until you do.  If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK"
         message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
         mount -uw /
         cd /private/var/db/netinfo
         mv local.nidb local.old
         rm ../.AppleSetupDone
         shutdown -r now
    The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
    This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
    Reset Admin Password Using The Terminal
    You can reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
    First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what the directory is called in the Users folder.
    Now, start in Single-user Mode. It should boot into a command line.
    Enter these exact lines. Press RETURN after each.
    mount -uw /
    ifconfig lo0 up
    cd /var/db/netinfo
    netinfod -s local
    Now you'll need that short name. Enter "passwd", a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was rather prosaically called "imadmin", you would enter "passwd imadmin".
    The computer will now prompt you to change the password for "lmadmin" (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and enter a new password.
    Now, enter:
    sync
    reboot
    and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed.

  • I had bought the iphone 5 four months ago. The problem is that it gets heated too much. I noticed it recently. What should I do? Should I take it to apple store to replace? Will they replace my iphone 5?

    I had bought the iphone 5 four months ago. The problem is that it gets heated too much. I noticed it recently. What should I do? Should I take it to apple store to replace? Will they replace my iphone 5?

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Restart / Reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Backing up, Updating and Restoring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • I just dropped my new macbook pro on the ground, it dents a little. So can I bring it to apple store, and repair it for free? I bought it just one month ago.

    I just dropped my new macbook pro on the ground, it dents a little. So can I bring it to apple store, and repair it for free? BTW: I bought it just one month ago. Thank you very much

    No, user caused accidents are not warranty coverage,  nor are spills, loss, theft etc.
    all these user caused issues have no bearing on the warranty coverage.
    they are outside of same.
    All laptop mfg. are identical in this nature  (same with your car too of course)

  • When I purchased my Mac six months ago, I transferred my Quicken data to Quicken Essentials which has worked well for me until yesterday.  Now Quicken Essentials will not open the data file.  What happened?  How do I get back in?

    When I purchased my Mac six months ago, I transferred my Quicken files to Quicken Essentials.  That worked fine until yesterday.  Now I'm getting messages that there is not application to open the files, or that it just plain can't open the file.  What gives here?  What happened?  How can I get back in?

    Launch the Quicken application and try to open the file from there, if you haven't already. If that fails, and a simple restart of the computer doesn't help, try reinstalling the application. If that doesn't cure the problem, I would suggest you take this up in the Quicken Community:
    https://qlc.intuit.com/app/full_page
    or with Quicken support:
    https://quicken.custhelp.com/app/contact/plvl1/win
    You'll be most likely to get further help with your issue there.
    Regards.

  • I just bought my  Ipad 2 months ago. Yesterday I counldn't open it . on the ipad show " not eought storage . THis ipad can not  be back up up because  there is not enough Icloud storage available . You can manage your storage in Settings."

    Hello, I have a question . I bought a ipad 2 months ago.Yesterday, I couldn't open or shut down . On the Ipad show " Not enough Storage . This  ipad can not be back up  because there is not enough icloud storage  available . You can manage your storage in settings.
    thank you  and have a good day

    Try this and see if the iPad will restart.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
