How to remove back from A1286 (late 2008 model)

Lots of instructions online to remove backs from later A1286 models.
I need to clean or replace my fan/s.
Mine has the battery door and three phillips screws.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

  • Battery issues on Macbook Pro 15" A1286 (late 2008)

    I am having battery issues with my Macbook Pro 15" A1286 (late 2008) model. My battery does not hold a charge for more than about an hour. It only has 287 cycles, so far less than the suggested 500 cycles, and something seems to be wrong with it - the back panel that holds the battery seems not to be attached as it should, as if the battery is pushing the cover out a little bit. Even my trackpad seems to be acting a little funny - it doesn't click in the same way or as easily as it used to.
    In my use of the computer, I have routinely let it run on battery power only and cycle out, but most of the time, I am running it with the power cord attached.
    Does this mean I need to replace the battery? I am out of AppleCare, and did not want to pay for a support question if I'm only going to be told that the battery needs to be replaced.
    I do not have an Apple Store very close to me - it is a long drive that I cannot make on a business day because I have to be at work. I ordered my computer online and have not had any issues until now - though I once contacted AppleCare with some questions.
    Has anyone had a similar experience, and can offer some guidance?
    Thank you very much.

    J G B,
    Did you purchase an 'official' Apple battery? Batteries do some things well and have a long lifespan if well cared for, doesn't do some things so well (playing games, watching videos, etc.) and you can shorten the lifespan of a battery by how you use it.
    But you should be able to get more than 2 hours out of a new battery (depending on how you're using it). If you're within 90 days of purchase, I would return th unit and ask for a new battery.

  • How to remove text from .swf animation?

    how to remove text from .swf animation? Can no find this text
    in fla file. Flash 8.

    exactly what 'text' are you referring to? text that you typed
    on the Stage using the 'textTool'? simply select the text with the
    'arrowTool' and hit delete.
    If you are referring to a textField that you want to
    eliminate after a certain amount of time, within your animation
    sequence. first copy the text, create a new layer, paste the text
    in place, then where you want to have the text 'disappear' insert a
    'blank keyframe' at that point in the text layer.
    OR place the textfield within a MC and remove it with code.
    OR if the text is dynamic and you wish to use the position at a
    later time, pass a value of null or and empty string to the field
    at the point you wish. And there are other ways still. :) hope one
    of these works for you.

    Front I'd say you can't without affecting how the digitizer is going to work, and as for the back .... why bother?
    If you want to mitigate further damage, then consider something like ZAGG shields, which provide coverage for both sides, or better cases, or some combination of the two.

  • How to remove songs from iPad?

    I've read several threds from users asking how to remove songs from the iPad 1.0, but have not found anyone with the symptoms mine has.
    For some unknown reason, the checkbox next to each song to remove them from the iPad is disabled.
    My latest attempt at removing all of the music was to tell iTunes to "Sync Music" with "Entire Music Library' selected.  That caused iTunes to push all 2700+ songs to the iPad.  I checked to see if I could remove the songs from the iPad by de-selecting the checkbox, but the checkbox was still disabled.
    So I told iTunes to stop syncing Music.  I acknowledged the warning message that this would remove all songs from the iPad.  Perfect - remove everything and I'll manually add the songs I want to put back on.  However, the results were not what was intended... I am back to where I started:
    When I open "Music" on my iPad, it shows lots of albums and songs (over 2700).
    When I view my iPad using iTunes, "Sync Music" is disabled and the capacity indicator shows 11.1GB of space allocated to audio files.
    When I view my iPad's Music folder using iTunes, it shows only 3 albums.
    At this point, I am thinking my only option is to wipe the iPad and manually add everything back on.  I'd rather not do that... but am out of options I can think of.

    I cannot delete music from my iPad2.  I've gone into iTunes and selected to manually manage my music.  When I click on my iPad and then MUSIC, I don't see any songs listed.  When I look at my iPad itself under usic there are a ton there.  I just want to keep my iPad free of music.  I don't need my music on my phone and my iPOD (yes, I still use an iPOD and I still like my music SEPARATE.)

    Thanks.

    I want Steve Jobs Back!!! I'm seriously thinking of converting back to the older iTunes.We have a saying in my country,it goes,"If it's not broke,don't fix it!" Sometimes I think they do updates just to keep busy at their jobs or just to **** us off.I don't have time to learn new software everytime someone at apple gets a bright idea.At least they should think it through and test it well before giving it to us.Apple is not a small company,how come we got to work out all their bugs and problems? I may send them a bill! LOL

    The first time I synced my iphone 4 with my mac, I didn't realize that all of my photos from the iphoto library would transfer over to the phone (more than 3,000).   Now, I need to remove some, as they are taking up too much space.  I cannot figure out how to remove them from the phone.  I tried to uncheck boxes and sync again, but I get a message that there is no room on the iphone.  I've read as many articles as I can find, but still cannot manage this.  Thanks for any help.

  • Can I take the hard drive from a late 2008 MacBook Pro and put it in an Early 2011 MacBook Pro?

    I just got a new 15" MBP and I want to give my older one to my son. The "older" one is an Early 2011.  My son has the Late 2008 model. My brother will take the 2008 MBP once I've moved all my son's stuff to the 2011.  Here's the question. My son has a 750GB hard drive on the 2008. He has partitions on it for Boot Camp and for his games. The 2011 only has a 500GB hard drive. Rather than erasing the 2011, restoring it from Time Capsule, then setting up Boot Camp and the other partitions all over again, or even using Winclone or something like that, can I just swap the hard drives? It would certainly faster and easier. I just wonder if there is a technical reason why I shouldn't do that. 

    You could always give it a shot - the only problem that you might run into is that the the early 2011 might not boot when the hard drive is swapped from the 2008 hard drive. Some versions of OS X are simply not compatible between different models.
    But it's worth a try...

    How to remove pics from my 3GS..???

    Photos taken with the phone can be deleted by selecting them and hitting the little wastebasket icon in the right bottom corner.
    Photos you did sync to your phone, can only be removed by deselecting them in the photo pane in iTunes, the following sync will remove them from the phone.

    Does anyone know how to remove vocals from an import from I tunes...a  polyphonic stereo mix ?
    If you are talking about some "Karaoke" method using Logic I'll try to offer one. Before that I must say that most of the Karaoke methods are based on reversing the Phase of one of the stereo channel and bussing or merging the stereo into Mono. The result is: killing all Pan Centered in the mix - like Main Vocal, Bass, Kick, SN ect.
    The artifacts of the Stereo FX of the main vocal will stay in the Karaoke, cause the FX is stereo etc.
    Here is the Logic Setup I can offer to try some Karaoke trick using Logic.
    1. Import a Stereo mix into a Logic Stereo track.
    2. Create another stereo track and duplicate (copy) the Original Mix region to the duplicated track.
    3. Hard Pan L/R both stereo tracks.
    4. Insert an EQ and Gainer plugins into the duplicated track (R).
    5. Set the Output select of the both tracks to a Bus and assign the new Aux Track Switch mode to "Mono".
    6. Open the Gainer plugin and thick the "Phase Invert" Right button.
    7. To keep the "lowend" instruments like the bass and kick, open the EQ plugin and enable the Low Cut filter and try some Hz settings 80-115, or different Q which will sounds better for your Karaoke.

    These sort of error usually occur when you're using a different character encoding to read the file than the one you wrote it with. Perhaps if you were to post the problem section of the file and/or the code that created it in the first place.
