How to replace bottom rubber pads?

One of them 4 rubber pads under my macbook broken off (top-left, probably due to aging from the heat). Would you think an Apple service center have them? I don't want the bottom to get scratched.

If Apple did sell these replacement feet, you'd probably still be here, looking for alternatives, because the price would most likely be something on the order of US $29.95 a piece.

Replacing stabilizing rubber pads

One of the rubber pads on the bottom of my laptop has fallen off somewhere, and now my laptop wobbles whenever I type. Where can I get a replacement?

An exhaustive search of Google came up with this:

I'll bet you can get em from Apple too.

Replacing rubber pads

hi- does anyone know how to replace the rubber pads on the bottom of an ibook? one of mine is missing, and i have purchased a new battery, so i want to remove the pad from the bottom of the old battery, and install it in the hole where the missing pad is.
i guess i need to know how to remove the one from the
old battery as well as how to install it.
sorry if this is confusing
thanks for your time

Mark,
Did that solve your problem? If so please mark the question as solved because I as well as other members will can use this thread for future reference. It isn't really needed in this case (if your question was answered), but when someone solves your problem or is helpful, you should "award" them points by pushing the buttons Solved and/or Helpful. I don't believe in the points at Apple Discussions, I don't understand why I should count points never the less count posts. I do it to show people who have the same problem, which answer helped or solved it.

Rubber pad thing above mic has come off -replacement? will my lcd crack?

hiya,
the little rubber pad on the lid of my 12' ibook, just above the microphone, broke off a few months ago. i thought my ibook would survive so it didnt bother me too much, when i close the lid it does rattle a bit though. my problem is that the one on the other side of the screen is starting to come off too, if it does come off altogether im afraid that when i close my laptop or when it is in my bag (in a case) it could damage the screen because its just banging off the bottom.
does anyone know if i sent it in for repair apple would replace them? its still under warranty, but only for another month. could it actually damage the screen? my previous experience with apple warranty repair is that they wont fix any issues that aren't actually affecting the use of the ibook. (i sent in my ipod in for repair because the plastic ring around where the dock cable goes in broke, but i got it back with a note saying 'no problem found')
i would reall appreciate any response, i am ainxious to do something about it before it comes off, and before my warranty runs out.
thanks, Aoife

oh well thats a bit more promising!:-) thanks for that. id still like to know if anyone thinks apple would fix it, im thinking about selling it in a few months and it would obviously be better if the computer had them!

I had once got it replaced for free but in warranty. As i read some where in the support that apple had agreed with the defect and had decided to replace the bottom covers without any charge. And even if i'm charged for it what will be the amount will hav to pay for it..
Thankx

Hi,
Here's the Bottom Case Replacement Link
http://www.apple.com/support/macbook-bottomcase/
It doesn't answer your specific questions about cost... but it does advise to contact an Apple Store or an AASP...
Anyway have a look at it... if you haven't already..
Cheers and Good Luck...

Hi Austin XQ,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your iPhone needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

Replacement rubber pad for top of LCD

Hi anyone got any idea on if the rubber pads at the top of the LCD screen are coverred under the warrenty ? Or where I can get any from. The top two on my laptop seem to have come off and so I get to see the ugly screws underneath now.
Thanks

If anyone else has this problem, it's likely that Lenovo will force you to mail in the entire laptop (which Lenovo says takes 5-7 business days plus shipping time).
When I called Lenovo, they set up a case with me and told me that they would send the part. I never received the part though, so after 3-4 weeks, I call back and they tell me that the case is canceled. They never even called me to notify me of this. They claim that the part has to be replaced by a certified technician, which is surprising since Lenovo has sent me a palmrest in the past to replace on my own.

Does anyone know where you can get a rubber pad for the bottom of the Macbook Pro 13"?

My Macbook Pro 13" tends to get a bit warm while sitting on my lap at times. I really don't want to put a case on it, but I wondered if anyone sells a rubber pad that might cover the bottom of the laptop? I would think this would help with the heat and also provide better gripping when you set it down on a surface. Nothing fancy, just a rubber pad that would stick on.
Never hurts to ask
Thanks

The metal body is a key part of the heat dissipation.
And the MBP is a "notebook", not a "laptop". Air flows around the body to get rid of heat.
I have used my MBP on my lap, but always balanced on both legs and left as much metal as possible exposed. Now I understand even that was risky.
If you want to use a hard-surface that the MBP sits on and the surface sits on your leg, then OK. But the heat you feel is the MBP clearing itself.

Rubber pads next to latch fell off and are lost

Does anyone know how I can get the rubber pads next to the latch on the screen replaced? They came loose and fell off one day. Would that be covered under warranty?

mine fell off to about a year ago and i was unable to get them replaced, i think you would have to source the pads your self and instal them if your outside of your warranty

How do I update I pad on a new computer without loosing data. Old computer got virus and it's got my I tunes account on it.

How do I update I pad on a new computer without loosing data. Old computer got virus and it's got my I tunes account on it.

You simply sync the iPad to the new computer. It will tell you that it is already synced with another one though, and will give you the option to erase it or transfer its contents to the new one. An iPad can only be synced with one computer at a time.
Beware that only your iTunes and App Store purchases will sync. If your iTunes library contained music obtained from other sources, you have to find a way to transfer them directly from your sick computer to the new one.
I hope your new computer is a Mac, a replacement PC will eventually suffer the same fate.

HT201407 How to activate my i pad 2 after restoring

how to activate my i pad 2 after restoring

Full Error is
"Activation Failed
This iPad is not able to complete the activation process. Please press Home and start over. If the issue persists, please visit your nearest Apple Store or Authorized service provider for more information or replacement."
The device has not been jail broken nor has my computer jail broken any devices. The device was working fine on wednesday and I did a restore and wipe, to switch from one user in the family to another. When I went to restore, I received this error. I have been through the restore and update process (says updating firmware, etc.) but at the end of the process I get the same message.
My big concern is this is an iPad 2 I bought new years ago and I'll be upset if the Apple Store folks say, "sorry, hardware issue."

Satallite A100: How to replace the keycaps?

Is there a manual on how to replace the keycaps after they come off?
My Satallite A100, one year old, lost two keycaps a few weeks ago, and I am unable to replace them, although I have all the (little) parts. It got even worse when some more came loose recently when my little son peeled some off, using the room created by the already missing keycaps.
Thanks!

Hello Mike
Reading your posting I can not understand exactly what is wrong with your keyboard but removing and putting in place keycaps (plastic with written symbol) is not problematic. You must just put it right in place and gently press it down. You will hear click and the keycap will be in the place again.
Under this keycap is placed small plastic mechanism. It contains two small plastic parts. If they are removed from the bottom you can put them inside again. To see how it looks like remove keycap from any other key and see how is it placed.
I have done the same now and with a little bit patience you can put it in the right position again.

Anti-slip rubber pads for mbp 13'

Hi all, I've been losing the anti-slip rubber pads from the bottom of my macbook pro 13'', i just wonder is this part is buyable separately? apple store guys says I need to change the entire aluminium bottom pan which would cost around £30 !!

It would be useful to know where you're located. In the USA, you might try these vendors:
http://www.pbparts.com (parts and repair work)
http://www.dttservice.com (parts and repair work)
http://www.powerbookresq.com (parts and repair work)
http://www.tekserve.com (parts and repair work)
http://www.powerbookmedic.com (parts, repair work and instructional videos)
http://www.welovemacs.com (parts and used equipment)
http://www.ifixit.com (parts and excellent, illustrated online take-apart instructions)
Prices for the same parts vary WIDELY, so check around. Also, parts as small as the rubbr feet you're looking for may not be listed on the websites, so calling the toll-free numbers you'll find on most of the sites may be a good idea.
If not successful in locating the Apple parts, you may want to pick up some self-adhesive furniture feet at your local hardware store. They won't fit perfectly or last very long (heat breaks down the adhesive on them), but they may cost only a tiny fraction of what you'll have to pay for Apple feet.

How can I disable rubber band scrolling?

hm...
I'm having an issue with a bouncing or "creeping" effect when I type in TextEdit; after having ugraded to Snow Leopard.
I'm now cross-posting a bit, I can't find my way around here; doing the best I can:
While typing in an rtfd new file, as I'm on the first line, the page starts creeping down until it's the very bottom line. When I get to the end of the line and it wraps, the page jumps up to about 5 or 6 lines and each few letters I type on the new line cause it to creep back down so it's the bottom line, until I get to the end of the next line, where I get a 5-6-line jump again, and then the creep again. This has to be one of the most annoying things ever, and makes me want to go get a different text editor. I use TextWrangler, but I've become used to TextEdit for quick things, and for a few specific things, but now I'm not loving it anymore.
Help please?

Left command key has broken off - how to replace?

So a few days ago I caught my left command key with my nail and the top half of it lifted away from the mechanism underneath. I pressed it until I heard it click back into place and then merrily continued using my computer as usual. Today I was typing and the whole thing just came off under my thumb, which is annoying to say the least.
The biggest issue is that as I was trying to reconnect key to mechanism, the little criss-cross doohickey came off as well! I am left with a little silicon nipple which, while titilating, is not really conducive to the kind of high volume typing I'm used to!
I really don't want to pay 40 bucks to get Apple Support to replace a single key for me - I just need to know how to do it myself. It's only one key and I could probably learn to get used to using the right one, but it would be easier if I could just click it back into place. It's not broken, the mechanism itself seems fine and the key works if I push the little nubbin, so I'm not concerned about that. I just think $40 is too much to pay someone to click a key back into place! I wasn't even doing anything out of the ordinary with it like trying to remove or replace the keys T^T
I'm especially gutted since I just bought a new iPhone from the same Apple shop I bought my laptop like three days ago - if I'd known my laptop was gonna bust I'd have saved myself the money and spent it on repairs instead! Fml, right?
Any help you folks can offer would be very gratefully received - if it comes down to it and I have to fork out the money then I'll do so, but I'd like to explore community options first on the off chance that someone knows how to replace the mechanism and key without having to lug my computer all the way into the city to get it fixed xD
Thanks in advance!
Ehryn

It's pretty easy to do, get something thin like a credit card and run it along the bottom and sides of the keyboard and there are several bracket things that will pop the keyboard up when you pressure them. There will be a couple of cables to clip out behind it so lift it up gently.
You should be able to find a video on youtube anyway!
Try this site for the keyboard http://www.replacementlaptopkeys.com/toshiba_qosmio_laptop_key.html
It shouldn't be too hard to track a replacement down.
