Hi, My friend bought MacBook Pro for me online (USA) cost 1199.00 $ But he said that it costed more because there was some fees. Is it true? He said it's around 75$ more. Tell me if my friend is cheating on me or if it's true what for are fees ? Thanks

Where the confusion is ruzlis, is that when you purchase with Apple online in the UK, the product already shows the VAT of 20% being charged so the price you see is the price you pay, whereas in USA the Tax will be added later according to the zip code, and a further charge of environmental charges. These extra charge of $75 looks right to me. You are still getting it cheaper from the USA than if you bought in the UK.
I think you need to trust your friend a little more.
And of course if your friend ships it to you, then you still have the VAT to pay as it comes across the border.

    Hi, I have bought macbook pro a year back and it has 4 GB RAM and its mid 2012 model can u tell me whether if i give the macbook for upgradation of memory will they do it and what would be the cost.

    You need to take your MacBook Pro to your Apple store genius bar and check that they will do the upgrade for you...price for 4 GB memory used to be $200 but you will have to check with them for the current cost.
    You can also check with OWC, http://www.macsales.com and see what their cost is and decide if you want to do it yourself.  Cost will be about half of that at the Apple store.

  • I need to totally format my macbook pro 13" mid 2009, can i use my friend's macbook pro 13's dvds?

    my macbook pro 13 is originally shipped with mac os x 10.5.7, now with 10.6.8, but i dont have the dvds with me, i also dont want any of the information on it, can i use my friend's macbook pro 13's dvds? what can i do?
    My macbook pro 13" dvds have these on them
        DVD 1: 13 inch macbook pro mac os x install dvd version 10.5.7 2Z691-6468-A Disc version 1.1
        DVD 2: 13 inch macbook pro applications install dvd disc  AHT version 3A174 disc version 1.0   2Z691-6458-A
    My friend's macbook pro 13
        DVD 1: 13 INCH MACBOOK PRO MAC OS X INSTALL DVD Mac os x version 10.6.7 Disk version 1.2
        DVD 2: 12 in macbook pro applications install dvd AHT version 3A21 Disc version 1.1
    Would my friend's dvds work to format my macbook pro to factory settings as if out of the box?
    i also had windows running on my mac, i used disc utility to erase the partition for windows, not bootcamp, so the partition is empty, i cant get the main hard drive extended as it was before because it gives me a message saying "could not modify partition map because filesystem verification failed", and when i try to verify it through disc utility it says that i need to my os x dvd and repair it, if i just format it, will that all go away?
    thank you

    Simple answer is no.
    Slightly more complicated answer;
    You may be able to boot from the disc and use Disk Utility to partition and wipe the HDD (though it may not boot at all).
    You can't install an OS from the other computer's discs. It simply will not allow the installation.
    You would also be violating the software licence agreement.
    As your originals are 10.5.x, you can buy the Snow Leopard retail installer (10.6.3) and format and install from that.

  • I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

    I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

    Log into the iCloud on your MacBook Pro and enable Photo Stream:
    Then launch iPhoto and set iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences to the following:
    Then check the Photo Stream section of iPhoto:
    This is to confirm that the photos are still in Photo Stream. If they are they will be imported into the library. 
    NOTE: not all photos in an iPhone will be in the Photo Stream. PS only keeps photos in it for 30 days.
    If you have the missing photos in your library put them in an album.  Connect your iPhone to the Mac and open iTunes.  In iTunes you can select that album in the library and sync the photos to your iPhone to get them back on the iPhone.

    Did you download and install the Windows Support software? If you did, did you use the Boot Camp Control icon to set up the trackpad how you want it?

    I bought  my MacBook Pro in 2010. This is the first Mac I have owned and recently it is having some difficulty loading we pages, often timing out. This Mac environment is entirely different for me and I am not sure where to begin troubleshooting and/ or clean-up. I have moderate computer skills and try not to download or access questionable material, however recently I visited the Ap Store and purchased a couple of different aps to use in record keeping and for making a flyer. I am not even sure how to remove these programs to see if it helps.
    Any tips or tricks are appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Time to see about the PRAM battery.
    By the way iOS and OS X are different systems.
    iOS is the operating system for iPads, iPhones, and iPod touch.
    Mac OS X is the operating system for Mac labelled computers.

  • Bought Macbook pro July 12, trying to register for the free Lion upgrafe online without success. It doesn't take my serial number ?

  • Do i need to create a back up or a start up disc for a newly bought macbook pro os x 10.8 ?

    do i need to create a back up or a start up disc for a newly bought macbook pro os x 10.8 ?

    You do not need a startup disc. There is a hidden recovery partition on the hard drive that you can use for repairing or reinstalling the system. Hold down command-R at startup to boot from that system. If the hard drive should die or be replaced, all machines that have shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or later include the capability to boot into internet recovery mode. If trying to boot into recovery mode fails, the machine will automatically try to boot from a system downloaded from Apple's servers over the internet. (You can also force the machine into internet recovery mode by holding down command-option-R at startup.)

  • Bought macbook pro online how to register

    I bought macbook pro from online and i was wondering is there any special steps i need to take to transfer it under my name from the previous owner for warranty purpose (for whatever is left+if i go for little more)
    Thanks
    CB

    The warranty on the machine is linked in Apple's database to its serial number, not to the owner's name. To verify that it is still covered and learn when the coverage expires, enter its serial number on this page:

  • I bought macbook pro last year July and i had lot of issue

I really don;t know why they not give me new unit. Can some please tell me what is the return policy of apple because i really ****** off  every week i went to apple store to solve the same issue and when i said i am not satisfied with this unit i want another new laptop then store manager said we can't give you new unit we can repair it.
    This is my first apple laptop and i really not like it.

    We are all users here trying to help other users by exchanging troubleshooting tips.
    Other than suggesting to contact Apple again, what response can we give?
    Wish you the best.

  • Can you give me some reasons about why I need to buy an iPod touch 5.Although I have the iPhone ,iPod nano, iPad ,MacBook pro,I think the iPod touch 5 is so attractive that I can't help buying it at once.If I have it,what I can do with it,can you tell me?

    All I can say is that I REALLY like my Touch 4th gen because I have all sorts of capabilities in a small form: e-mail, web browsing, news, weather, books, magazines, etc. etc.  Plus lots and lots of apps out there, including so many free ones.  I use the Cloud a lot so it's great to have everything sync'd to my MacBookPro (e-mail, Evernote, Pocket, etc.)
    It would be easier, though, to do some of this, especially magazines, on the iPad mini, but, again, I love the small size of the Touch. 
    As for the 5th gen instead of the 4th, the fifth has Siri and the 3D feature in maps, which are great.  And I'm sure it's a lot faster in iOS 6 than the 4th gen.  And cool colors! 
    Don't know if this helps . . .

    Not sure if that same Application is designed for Mac Os x, Search for Applications on App Store instead of iTunes on your Macbook Pro, as Applications available on iTunes Store on a Macbook is designed to work only on iOS Device like iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and whatever is available on App Store on Mac is designed for Mac Os x.
