How can I get apple to replace my macbook air?

I purchased a macbook air in mid 2012. It's 13-inch 1.8 GHz Intel Core i5.
Anyways, since I've had this particular computer I've had to take it in on 3 occasions because it kept shutting off, or crashing anything I ran.
They have replaced the logic board all 3 times, and I believe the cost each time is approximately $500 (covered by applecare).
I'm really annoyed by the function of this particular device I've purchased. I really just want to get rid of this computer now. 
My question is, how or when will apple decide to trash this computer instead of waste money by replacing the logic board every 5 months?
I would like a new computer. I am fed up of having to take my computer into the store– which mind you is far from my house, only to leave it there for a week before I can pick it up.

I'd suggest making an appointment with an Apple Genius, and discuss your options.

    How can I get HDMI out from my macbook air(2011)?

    It's rather simple. Buy a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. And then a HDMI cable long enough to link your computer the distance between both devices.

  • How can I get Apple to replace my rev a with isight imac?

    I am currently trying my hardest to get a replacement machine. I have had several repairs on my iMac, (6 trips to the apple store!!) but they have told me that my repairs were not major enough to warrant a new machine. I am sending letters and documentation to as many people in customer relations as possible.
    Right now my computer is getting repaired. Again.
    Good luck.

    You can't actually delete FactTime from your Mac - it's a built-in App. Click on your LaunchPad, and you should see it there:

  • How can I get Microsoft office onto my Macbook Air?

    I need to use Microsoft office instead of Pages and Keynote because they are not compatible with my teacher's files. However my macbook air does not have the cd/dvd slot so how could I get Microsoft office onto my macbook? Help is appreciated! I really need it for my classes!!!!

    You have a couple of options.
    1) Buy a external DVD drive that connects by USB port. Any brand will work on your Mac. It doesn't have to have the Apple name on it for it to work. Most cost around $30.
    2) If you have the office DVD take it to a Mac that has a DVD drive and copy the DVD contents to a USB thumb drive then install from that thumb drive.
    3) Fine the DMG download of the office version you have.
    Note that only Office 2008 and the newest 2011 will work on a Mac running Lion or Mt Lion. The older 2004 version won't install on newer Mac computers.

    The ipod dock on my Ilive  it188b stopped working and doesn't play or charge my compatible ipod which works on my other stereo. Everything else on the stereo works fine. I contacted the company and they would not sell me a replacement dock because of their agreement with Apple. How can I get an ipod replacement dock on my Ilive it188b or have it repaired? I have checked locally, and the electronics hospital reapair place will not work on it. Is my only option to try and sell it on craigslist or ebay?

    how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay?

    You don't use Airplay.  You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.

    please help
    thank you

    Google has a support notice that may explain the problem here: http://support.google.com/mail/answer/82350?hl=en
    Apple has a built-in method for setting up Gmail accounts that makes sure that they are set up properly.
    Go to System Preferences under the Apple menu and select Mail, Contacts & Calendars. In the left-hand sidebar select the Add Account… item. In the main window select Gmail. Enter the information in the drop down sheet.
    As for Pacbell I don't know what the proper settings are and could only find these from a third party so proceed with caution. http://www.emailserversettings.com/category/pacbell

    Same here. I have 1 ATV2 and 2 computers and each has separate iTunes accounts (mine and my wife's). The ATV menu says "computers" so I presume you can have more than 1 computer on 1 ATV. The big question is how do you set it up?
