How much would it cost to upgrade my ram and my hard drive in my MacbookPro
I only have a 160 GB hard drive and my 2gb ram in my Mac book pro and I was looking to upgrade it without buying another Mac book pro being that mine is only a year old. I was wondering had anyone on this forum ever upgraded and how much did it cost and was it cost efficient.

You can buy a 1TB internal drive for a little over $100. You will need to get an external enclosure to format and clone your internal drive to the 1TB before installation. Yes, you could install the 1TB (or whatever size you want) into your MBP, but it'll take you forever to get everything set up again, move over any software.
I'm assuming you have a mid-2009 MBP, which means you could upgrade it to a 2X4GB configuration, which might cost you around $150 (you can get cheaper RAM, but there's a reason it's cheaper).
Once you've cloned your drive to the new internal drive, you will need to make certain you have the right tools (tiny screwdrivers and such). It should take you less than 10 minutes to make the change.
I have upgraded by my HDD and RAM recently to the largest I could find of each. Best investment ever. And no, I'm not a techie who builds his own computers, but this is easy.

Is it possible to upgrade my macbook air 13" from 1.86 GHz 128 gb flash and 2GB memory to the 2.13 GHz 256 and 4GB memory, how much would it cost?
About the only thing that "might" be able to do is upgrade the SSD. OWC sells SSD upgrades for that unit. You would have to contact Apple though to verify that no warranty issues would apply when making the upgrade.

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.

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 already have bought Photoshop Element13; I already installed the trial version of Photoshop Premier 13. Question: How much would it cost to buy Premier 13?
Rochar
This is not Adobe. Rather user to user.
What did you do....purchase an online download of Photoshop Elements 13 from Adobe. Are you within 30 days of the date of that purchase?
In that case, please direct this question to Adobe Chat Orders to sort out the details of the purchasing situation and what you would like to do. Consider

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.
