HT1490 Is a slightly swollen mac book pro battery that seemingly works OK a big problem

 

Remove it from the MBP, get a replacement.  Now.
Batteries have corrosive chemicals that destroy logic bards and hard drives.o

  • Can I use the IRig to plug in my guitar on my mac book Pro or it just works in ipad, ipod and iphone?

    Can I use the IRig to plug in my guitar on my mac book Pro or it just works in ipad, ipod and iphone?

    From their website:
    Got a Mac? Get an iRig!
    Now for the hidden features… if you have a newer Mac computer, you can use the iRig as an audio interface for it. The newer Mac models feature a headphone jack that act as a headphone/microphone input for headsets. This means that you can also use your iRig with your Mac laptop or desktop machine to take advantage of the higher processing power of your machine and you don't need an additional audio interface to use it. Simply plug the iRig into your headphone jack, plug your headphones/line out into your iRig and you've got a fully functioning audio interface for guitar/bass/keyboards, or any other instrument with a ¼" out. Pretty cool.

    i installed the window 7 ultimate OS in to my mac book pro. after that the partition is not supported and then the folder with question mark flashing on my screen. plaese helf me what to do next to resume mac mac os x?

    Assuming that you tried to install Win 7 in bootcamp.
    Power on the machine and press and hold the "option" key when you hear the bong sound.
    Select the Macintosh HD icon and press "return" or just click on the icon.
    Once booted into OS X go to System Preferences and select the Startup Disk icon and configure startup to use the Macintosh HD.

  • Replacing Mac Book Pro battery

    I need to replace my battery for my original Mac Book Pro. Is there a specific battery I need to look for? Or do I just need a 15" Mac Book Pro battery? Do the older Mac Book Pro's run with a different battery than newer models?
    Thanks for your help.

    You're making this into more than it is. Tell him to get you a battery for your MacBook Pro. There's only one kind you can buy, which is the one I linked to.{quote}
    Sometimes the simple link doesn't really answer the question. Thanks for clarifying that there's only one kind you can buy...and that's all I needed to know! When you said I couldn't use my girlfriends newer Mac Book Pro you more or less implied that there is a difference...but since you just said you can only buy one kind of replacement battery...that answered my concern. Thank you

    insteade of using mac os on macbook pro, i wanted to install windows 8 pro on mac book pro, will that void my warranty

    Installing any OS you want on your machine will not void the warranty.  Only making hardware changes other than those listed as "user servicable" by Apple, or negligence will void your warranty.
    I will warn you that there might be SMC or EFI udates you will want for your Mac hardware that are only available if you are runnign Mac OS.  For this reason, you may want to keep a small partition on your drive which still has Mac OS installed, or at the very least, keep an external HD around to be able to boot Mac OS.  Additionally, if you are having hardware issues, like a failing DVD writer, you may have a harder time getting Apple to repair it under warranty if you can not reproduce the error under Mac OS.  When I had the DVD writer replaced in my first MacBook Pro, I found the problems trying to write discs under Windows 7, but when the tech could reproduce an error under Mac OS, he quickly accepted it was a hardware problem and not software.  Without reproducing it under Mac OS, he admitted that he might not be able to get them to replace the drive.

  • Hi everyone. I bought my Mac Book Pro 2 years ago and it has had problems since. Did they sell me a faulty netbook?

    Hi everyone. I bought my Mac Book Pro 2 years ago and it has had problems since.
    Did they sell me a faulty one?

    They say it happens with laptops
    Well... yes... it can happen with all computers, but that's certainly not a resolution.  Are you working directly with Apple or a different service provider?  If something (Word) has not been working since day one... even after repairs, then they haven't fixed it (provided you told them about the problem).  
    Basically, as others have said... if you've been getting the service you've described directly from Apple, I would give them a call and express your concern.  You're in good shape while your warranty is still effective.  Get them to fix it to your satisfaction.  If something isn't working as it should, don't be afraid to say something.

    You'll have to read the terms of your warranty for India and see what your availalbe options are.
    There are plenty of service providers in India, so that's not a problem.
    Your location isn't a problem, what likely happened is your out of warranty period or you purchased the machine through another country and it got registered with a different warranty period. Once Apple discovered your in India, the warranty for that country is applied.
    For instance in the EU the warranty period is 2 years by law, so Apple has to honor that. But elsewhere it's 1 year and perhaps that's why you were denied replacement. Not because your from India, that the warranty period for machines in India is one year, like it is for everyone else.
    I guess you could fly to the EU and then make a warranty claim from there, but it's already too late, your machine and conversation with Apple was already recorded.
    Now if your indirecting asking folks here to service your machine by shipping it to the EU, you better watch yourself around here.

    Try this. Open one of your files. The window that contains your picture is named at the top. Command click on the name and you'll see the entire path starting with its name and then moving to the folder, the folder it is contained in, etc all the way to down to the hard drive volume name. This should tell you where to find the folder.

  • I have an Ipad an iphone and a Mac book pro I want my work email, calendar, itunes to update on all devices ?

    Hello,
    So I have all the devices but my i get some email on the ipad some on the iphone and some on the mac book pro.
    How do i sync it all together so i can see i already read and responded to the different emails?
    Also how do i sync all of my calendars?

    If your work email is not an iCloud email address (i.e. @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com) then you'll have to ask the provider of your work email account how to configure it as IMAP on all your devices/computers.
    If your work email is an iCloud address, and for syncing Calendars via iCloud, follow the iCloud setup instruction at the link below on all your devices/computers:

  • Mac book pro battery only reports 3000mAh on battery.

    My works 15" mac book pro says battery capacity is 3300mAh. I've tried calibration of the battery. I turned off power saving and left it switched on to run down battery but laptop won't power on again when the battery goes flat even when connected to the mains until its been charging for about 10 minutes at which point it says its got 1000mAh (1/3 charged). I'm sure it used to power on immediately from flat if on mains power.
    The laptop is about 2 1/2 years old and currently my main use is at home connected to power but occasionally I need to use it on battery when it lasts less than an hour. I do have an apple care pack for it (not registered it yet! I know, its just been one of those things I've never got round to doing).
    Can anyone suggest what I do next?
