How much to replace a headphone jack in a macbook pro?

the tip of my headphones broke off in there. I googled some methods of taking it out and don't want to risk trying the superglue method which seems to be the most popular one. I would rather have someone experienced just replace the jack entirely if it's possible in order to avoid damaging it even more. I have the Macbook Pro 13" if that matters.

You have to take the Mac to the Apple store for an estimate.

    How much does apple charge to fix a broken macbook pro screen?

    No one here would know for sure...my guess? Somewhere around US $700. You'll get it done cheaper at a third-party repair shop.

  • My earpods broke, and half of the silver part of the earpods got stuck in the headphone jack of my MacBook Pro.  Someone help me please!!!!!

    The end part of the earpods broke off, and now part of it is in the headphone jack of my MacBook Pro. The piece of the earpod in the headphone jack is too small and short to just grab it with my finger.  I need help please!!!! Thank you to whoever responds.

    There is no good way to get it out.
    I have successfully used a dental pick kind of tool to extract one. It took a great amount of fiddling, so you must be in a very patient mood.
    Others suggest the risky use of a blob of crazy glue to cement a "puller" onto the broken end. The risk, of course, is that if you get any on the jack, you are doomed.
    The guys at the genius Bar will sometimes try to get them out. No charge.

     It's probably easier to order a new board as it's separate from the main mother board.

    Question : My father recently bought me a new Headset. It's a great Headset with good quality(I GUESS) and a microphone which is what I need.(SORRY IF THIS OFFENDED YOU) Anyway, I was disappointed when I noticed there was a microphone input/wire, there wasn't any microphone jack for it on the computer/laptop. It would be a waste of money if I would have to switch inputs/outputs. Is there a possible way to use the headphones and the microphone simultaneously? Please help, I've been wanting a Headset with a microphone and I finally received one and this occured. Please help. I don't want to purchase any external thing for the microphone jack, if I do, Apple should re-design the MacBook Pro, sorry, though. I don't think the Apple earphones or Ear pods came along with this computer/laptop, so, why only one jack for the headphones? Anyway, sorry for any offensive feedback or sayings. Thank you, though.

    Use a usb port and usb adapter. There is no mic in on Mackbook Pros. Return the headset for a uisb headset with mic.

  • How do I replace the hard drive in my Macbook Pro

    Okay...
    I need more space on my computer, so I want to replace the hard drive. I have no OSX install disk, but my computer is running Lion from the app store download. Can I just back up my data onto my new hard drive, and literally just swap them out? Also, how should I back up my drive? should I use a hard drive enclosure with my future drive, and just use time machine or something? Would time machine back up everything? Would the drive become bootable? Please help!

    The best way to do this is buy your new drive.  Get the largest you can buy, and don't buy anything from Western Digital, just a recommendation.  The Samsung 1TB is pretty sweet.  Put that drive in a external encloser (they're inexpensive).  Using CarbonCopyCloner, clone your internal drive to your external one.  This is the cleanest way to do it.
    Then, boot to the cloned drive, just to make sure it works.  It's just a test.  Shut down.  Replace drive (you can find the instructions for your MacBook Pro, by searching the support section of this website, the manual is there).
    Start up with new drive.  Make sure everything is fine.  Use old drive in external enclosure as either a data drive or scratch drive for Photoshop or whatever you do.
    I would set up Time Machine going forward with your new drive.  You need a drive at least as large, and probably 50% larger than your internal drive. 

  • Headphone Jack Not Working Macbook Pro Mid 2012 Running Yosemite

    Hey everyone,
    I have a Mid 2012 MBP. Just updated to OS X 10.10 and used the headphone jack to connect my external speakers for the first time today. Had no problems t first, but after about 2 hours of using the headphone jack the sound started cutting in and out then about 10 minutes later, they just stopped working all together. Audio works just fine with out them plugged in. Also the sound is cutting in and out using the built in speakers also.
    I have Bootcamp(windows 8.1) and I have the same problem when using Windows also. Sounds like a hardware problem but im hopping its not cuz I dont have the warranty anymore(obviously).
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Reset the PRAM:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222?viewlocale=en_US
    When it is not working, look inside the audio output port.  See if there is a red light.  If so, the internal switch is stuck and the jack may free it if inserted a few times.
    If none of the above solves the problem, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  The evaluation will be FREE.
    Ciao.

  • How much is it to repair a water damaged macbook pro?

    My boyfriend spilled beer on my laptop quite some time ago. I haven't been able to go into the Apple store to get it checked out because I've been so busy. A few of the keys don't work and the backlight (where the beer was spilled) is very dim, other than that it still works perfectly fine.  I read online somewhere that you shouldn't turn it on at all until it's been checked out but I've been using it perfectly fine just with these annoying faults. How much will it cost me to have it repaired? In GBP, because I live in the UK.

    Went to the Apple store (like you suggested) and it's only going to cost me £135 to repair which I'm so happy about. He said only the top case is damaged but the liquid didn't manage to get all the way inside my computer so it's great news...we would've been forking out hundreds if the liquid had gotten in deeper!

  • How much hard drive do I need on the Macbook Pro?

    I am buying a Macbook Pro 13" to use for email, internet, word processing and photo editing (in raw and jpeg).  It comes wtih 500 or 750 GB Seriesl ATA hard drive which is way more hard drive than I need.  I will keep most of my photos on an external hard drive and in a cloud and retain about a thousand photos on the Macbook's hard drive at a time for viewing and processing.  I would like to upgrad to the Solid State hard drive but want to choose the least amount of hard drive that would be sufficient for the applications I would like to run and the realtively small amount of photos I want to store on the Macbook Pro.  Do you think this would be sufficient?  Is the solid state hard drive so much better than the serieal ata hard drive that it would be a good investment?

    The downside of moving a lot of your storage to an external hard drive is that then you need a second external hard drive on which to back the first one up, and you need to remember to actually DO the backups regularly. I greatly prefer to have a large enough internal drive to store all my files, just because it makes backing them all up so much easier (and therefore more likely to be done often).
    As for the downside of SSDs, do they need any more downside than costing several times more per GB of storage than hard drives? Particularly when they're still in their early childhood, are still improving by leaps and bounds, and better SSDs will probably cost half or less than half as much per GB a year from now as they do today? There's more than enough downside to discourage me from buying an SSD now. Thanks, but I'll wait for prices to come down, sizes to increase, the limited-write-cycles problem to be addressed on Macs, and SSDs' long-term reliability to be more definitively confirmed. And frankly, I just don't care whether a file takes half a second or three seconds to open. I can afford to wait 20 or 30 seconds a day.

  • The headphone jack on my macbook pro is not working?

    There is no red light coming from the jack. I tried resetting my SMC. I used headphones with an external mic and the mic works, but still no sound from the headphones. The computer recognizes when they are plugged in and will switch off the internal speakers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey, I'm sorry to hear about your problem, and to me it seems like there will be no cheap fix. As a sound technician i see this issue a lot in different areas. Usually it means either the headphone out port is damaged or the headphones are damaged, and if i was you, i'd pray for the later. If the computer recognizes the plug than it must be a connection somewhere else eliminating the ability to get the sound to the speakers.
    Best Regards!

  • How much RAM should I get in my FIRST Macbook Pro?

    Finally ready to pick up my first Macbook.  I've been a Windows junkie until now.  I have iPads, iPhones, iPods, etc and now it's time to go all in.  My question is RAM.  I've already decided to go with the Macbook Pro with the Retina display but I'm still undecided on which one.  If I'm going to invest thousands I want to make sure it will last and not be obsolete after a few years.  So far, I've nailed down the processor (i7) and the hard drive (512GB SSD).  Should I bite the bullet at go with the 16gb of RAM or is that overkill?  Bare minimum I would go with 8GB of RAM. 
    My planned usage is as follows:
    -Word and spreadsheet processing
    -Develop presentations
    -Web surfing
    -movie watching
    -photo editing (I'm a novice now but would like the step it up a notch)
    I may also get into minor HD video editing at some point in the future.
    I want the ability to grow in the future and not be limited by my laptop while not breaking the bank!
    Thanks for you help and recommendations!

    As they are no-longer user upgrade able, I would advise getting the most you can reasonably afford to future proof your machine. 8Gb is fine with Mavericks today with all bit very heavy video editing work. In most cases heavy video editors probably have a desktop pro for that anyway. Mine is probably over spec'ed with 16Gb currently, but I've never had a machine that I have not needed up maxing out the Ram in its later life.
    I've already read posts of people selling their Retina laptops to get another as they only went with the standard amount of Ram.

  • How much RAM can I put in my new MacBook Pro 313 2.4 Ghz I5 13.1"? I'm getting conflicting answers on Google search.

    I just bought my first Mac after years of deliberation, and even working for Apple for over seven years since moving to the Bay Area. I can't believe I waited this long!!! I love it!
    My owner's manual says I can only put, "PC3-10600S DDR3 1333 MHz Type RAM"
    It also says I can only add two 4GB memory modules for a maximum 8 GB of memory. Yet, a website that gaurantee's fitament says I can use two 8 GB modules that are PC3-10600 (no "S" on the end) DDR3 etc... for a maximum of 16 GB. I only want to beef this thing up once, so can someone with more knowledge than me please help me out concerning this. And if possible, could you post a link to the actual memory?
    TIA!!!

    Yes, it is a little confusing. If your MacBook Pro is brand new, the limit is 16GB.

    Yes, but that is only because 8GB was the chip set available when they designed it. But there have been many times in Mac history when the Mac worked perfectly well with bigger chips released after the product launch. In the case of the MacBook Pro, 16GB RAM has been verified by pro users who have upgraded to 16GB without problems.
    mhollman, here is the link to the actual memory. The company selling them has an excellent reputation as a supplier of Mac upgrades, I buy mine there.

    Here is a reputable Mac blogger reporting the advantages of 16GB RAM, if your jobs are big enough to benefit.
    http://macperformanceguide.com/blog/2011/20110309_3-Photoshop-MBP-16GB--news.htm l
    The first time I went beyond Apple spec was with the PowerBook G3, 12 years ago. Apple specced 512MB RAM, but months later it was found that the PowerBook worked fine with the new 1GB RAM kits and I ran it that way for years.
    Not all models can take more RAM than originally specced, but as long as you wait for the tests to come in and say it's fine, it's fine.

  • How much ram is supported on my late 2011 Macbook pro?

    8 GB or 16 GB? and if 16 GB can OSX Lion take advantage of all of the ram?

    Just the kind of thread I'm looking for.  I run MS Word, Excel, A browser with several tabs, Adobe CS and Acrobat and I'm thinking that 4GB ain't cutting it anymore.  I was going to go to 16GB here at Crucial but it's $239 and I'm not sure it's the most reasonable:
    http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=957BE069A5CA7304
    Though New Egg has these here, and the 8 GB chips are $53 each.  I believe these are compatible with my Macbook Pro Late 2011 (2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3).
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820144555&Tpk=GeIL%208GB%2 0204-Pin%20DDR3%20SO-DIMM%20DDR3%201333%20%28PC3%2010660
    I don't know if "RAM is RAM" or if saving $100+ in this instance means getting less than decent RAM?
    Maybe 16GB is overkill for my particular application or application.  But if an add'l 12 (or even 8GB) will make a difference in performance, it may well be worth it.

  • How much memory to add to 5 yr. old MacBook Pro that already has 2 gb

    I thought I heard somewhere that I could add 2 x 2gb memory in the slots that have 1 gb x 2 in there right now.  However, now I'm hearing that my macbook will only use 3 gb of that.  By any chance is it 3 + anything - if so I'll go ahead & get the total 4 gb :-)

    probably.  Read this: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_advantage_of_more_RAM
