HT1519 Do I need to buy a new battery ASAP if the cycle count is way over limit?
My macbook OS X 10.6.8 (late 2007) is listed as having a maximum battery cycle of 300; my system reports 415 cycles and I have never calibrated. Do I need to buy a new battery ASAP? Would calibrating help?
A solid state drive or 'SSD' is a flash based storage drive used in newer Macs and PCs that give a significant speed increase as well as reduced power consumption due to not having any moving parts like a hard disc drive or 'HDD' s which work on spinning magnetic platters driven by a motor.
They are backwards compatible as they come in the same sizes as previous HDDs (physical size) and connect to the same Sata interface, so are simply a swappable item. Smaller SSD storage sizes are not too badly priced these days, however the larger drives are still fairly expensive.

Do I need to buy a new battery?
My Macbook (OS X Version 10.5.8) battery won't charge. In the system profile application, the "condition" under Power>Health Information says "Check Battery" (see picture below). Do I need to buy a new battery or is there something else I can do to fix it?
You can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.

I needed to buy a new battery for my Apple Remote
I thought that it might be helpful for other users to know that if their brand new Apple Remote is not working, it may be because the CR2032 battery is old. In my case, I had to think why was my new Apple Remote not working:
1) the battery was old
2) the Remote was broken
3) the computer sensor was broken
I am glad that after spending $4.49 cents at the local Ace that as soon as I hit menu, the Apple Remote screen came up on my Mac.i need to buy a new battery for my Macbook 13-inch aluminum, late 2008 (A1280) .. ... and i can´t find it at the Apple Store Web, please help me

My laptop battery life is horrible. Ive researched a bit and it seems like everyone with the same laptop as me is having the exact same sort of problem. I got the laptop in the fall of 2010. Im looking on the hpshopping.ca site and im not finding any other replacement parts for this laptop. And i am young and i do not have a job yet so i am unable to buy a brand new laptop. So does anybody else know where i could buy a new replacement battery for my laptop? Thanks!

View Solution.Hi:
According to the service manual for your notebook at the link below you have the choice of 2 batteries.
Please see chapter 3, page 3-8, item 16. Part # 593554-001 would give you more time between charges.

You can order either one at the link below.

View Solution.Hi DanielGlez, welcome to the HP Forums. No need to apologize, your english is way better than my portuguese. The only option I can think of to get a replacement battery, is getting the HP Part number for the battery and seeing if HP PartSurfer ships to your area.

What should I do? Can I use the Windows XP disk, or do I need to get a replacement which works with Windows 8.1?

I live in Ireland. How can I buy a new battery for my N500?
I need to buy a new battery for my Lenovo 3000 N500. However, in the Ireland section of the Lenovo web site NONE of the dealers have this part in stock. It is in stock on the US and UK sections of the web site, but apparently only people in those countries can buy it on line. I would be prepared to buy it online from the US or the UK and pay the shipping charges to Ireland. In more than 13 years on the web, Lenovo is the first company I've encountered where I haven't been able to use my credit card to purchase an item from the US or the UK. I do this all the time with companies like Land's End, Amazon, James Meade etc etc.
Fine, if I'm not allowed buy from the US and the UK. But at least,then, make sure I have some other way of buying the part - either on line or from a store.According to Apple:
iPod Owners
Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery replacement for $49 (iPod shuffle), $59 (iPod nano and iPod classic), and $79 (iPod touch) plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.

Hi guys,
I can only leave my MacBook Pro unplugged for an hour maximum and it never seems to fully charge. It says on the Mac to service battery - which I guess means buy a new battery.
I have had my MacBook for over 5 years now and it does get used probably every day, if not every other. If I brought a new battery would it all work normally again or is it getting old and do I need a new one?
Also, my charger seems to be playing up a bit now as well. It's seems to be temperamental when I plug it in and takes to while to light up and charge. I've attached an image of the battery bit on my laptop as the lead seems to be fine - is this normal?
Thanks in advance guys.Is there any application(s) that your current Mac cannot run that only a new can? Calculate the cost per year of your current MBP and compare that to the cost of a new battery. Spread the battery cost over a year or two of additional operation, how do the dollar amounts compare? If the MBP is functioning properly, I generally find it is more cost effective to keep it.
If the retina display and the SSD storage are very desirable from your perspective, then that becomes a different matter. You are the one to make the final decision.

I have a MacBook Pro from '07 with 1 GB of memory. The battery is shot and my AppleCare has run out. I just upgraded the OS to 10.6.8. But a few questions:
1 - How do I even check how much memory I have left on this computer?
2 - How do I check how many battery cycles are left?
3 - I want to upgrade to Microsoft Office '11 because I don't have Adobe Acrobat to creat pdf's and I need to be able to do this for school... Instead of buying acrobat, I figured I would just upgrade to Office '11 because I can generate pdf's from Word. Roughly how much RAM does Office '11 take up?
4 - Does Apple still make batteries for this computer (from '07)? How much do they cost?
5 - How much does 1 more GB of memory cost?
AND lastly -- is it even worth it to spend the $ on more RAM, a new battery and Office '11?
Or does it make more sense to just get a new computer entirely? (trying to avoid this).
ANY help would be sooo appreciated! Thanks.1 - How do I even check how much memory I have left on this computer?
If you're asking how to check to see if you need more RAM, open Activity Monitor and go to the System Memory tab, then compare page outs and page ins. If page outs is 10% or more of page ins, you probably need more RAM.
2 - How do I check how many battery cycles are left?
There's no limit on the number of battery cycles, it's just that the more cycles you've used the more "worn out" your battery gets. You've got a 4-year-old machine, and if it's still got the original battery, it's probably about time for a replacement battery. You can check battery health using System Profiler... look at the Power section under Hardware.
3 - I want to upgrade to Microsoft Office '11 because I don't have Adobe Acrobat to creat pdf's and I need to be able to do this for school... Instead of buying acrobat, I figured I would just upgrade to Office '11
You don't need Office 2011 to create PDFs. Any application capable of printing can create PDFs on a Mac. Just choose File -> Print, but instead of clicking the Print button in the print dialog, click the PDF button and choose Save As PDF in the menu that appears.
4 - Does Apple still make batteries for this computer (from '07)? How much do they cost?
5 - How much does 1 more GB of memory cost?
I'll "ditto" sig's answers to these.
AND lastly -- is it even worth it to spend the $ on more RAM, a new battery and Office '11?
Or does it make more sense to just get a new computer entirely? (trying to avoid this).
If Office 2004 is still working fine for you, stick with that and don't incur the costs of Office 2011. As to the RAM, only add more if the test I mentioned above indicates that you need it. If you buy more RAM when you don't really need it, you won't see much (if any) performance improvement. That just leaves the battery... and if the machine is still doing what you need it to do and you don't really need a new machine for anything, you could definitely buy a new battery and get a few more years out of it. -
these cable are so delicate that after one week of use they break down. i can't spend all my money on buying them. moreover, last week it broke down on saturday eve so i was stuck untill tuseday without a phone.
i have to say that this compan is so rude, and it took me like an hour to sign in and write this complain, and i'm not even sure if it's the right place to wright this sort of things.
apple's customer service is the wort customer service in the world.I don't understand why you need to buy a new one every week. I've had my iPhnoe 5 for almost a year, never had a problem with the cable. In addition, your phone is can't be more than a year old. Therefore, unless you're damaging them, your cable is under warranty and Apple will replace it. Perhaps you should have tried actually availing yourself of Apple's customer service before complaining about it.
Best of luck. -
My itunes aacount was on my home computer that me and my brother both used. The computer died and we will need to buy a new one. We thought that if we just logged into our account from my laptop all the music would be there, it's not. Can anyone help us?
Go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free

Do I need to buy a new printer, dedicated for my Mac or can I use the same one we use for our PCs?
Hello stacksofamber and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
You should be able to find a Mac OSX driver for that printer. Did you check with the manufacturer/'s website? -
I am thinking of changing from a PC to a Mac. Will I need to buy a new, Apple compatible, version of Lightroom, or can I upgrade to it, or can I get it free as I've paid for the PC version?
Your licence is not platform specific, so Lightroom can be used on any two machines (Mac and/or WIndows), with one actually being used at any given time.
So no, you're money's safe! -
Do I need to buy a new optical drive?
Wouah, really strange things happening.
A couple of weeks ago, I had to burn something like a hundred DVDs, but couldn't complete coz my drive (a Pionneer 111D) was refusing to burn 2 in every four DVD. Thought the problem was from the media itself. Left it there...
Then came Snow Leopard, installed it, all went fine, exept my drive is not detecting some DVD that I know are good, it tells me the media is blank, though it's not.
Thought it may be because of the new system, so I did a firmware update, now my drive is a pionneer 111L, but it still doesn't detect those DVD; so i thought, if it's a problem with the system, i am going to install Leopard, but the drive didn't even recognize the install DVD, so I had to install Tiger, which I did, and guess what the drive doesn't recognize those medias.
So my question, to be short, do I need to buy a new drive, and if yes what the best option. I have a MAC PRO early 2006 first gen.
Thanks for any kind of advice, maybe if I can get it back to normal.Your MacPro should have two optical drive bays in it---Drives are cheap (mine £25)--Installation simple. I say buy a second, my second was as below. If your OEM works, or you buy two new drives, it makes copying disks easy. There are some instruction on OD insertion on the net but just look at your Mac Pro manual re the drive bays. You stick the second drive onto the little branch of the ribbon cable.
Search in this forum for (say) 'second optical drive MacPro' but someone will likely remember the installation help page for you. My second drive:-
PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-116D:
Firmware Revision: 1.06
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Generic Drive Support)
Profile Path: None
Cache: 2000 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
Media: To show the available burn speeds, insert a disc and choose View > Refresh'
