HT3371 I took my mac book to Argentina apple store and I think they have changed my battery, how can I know it for sure?
Where can I find the battery serial number? is it that possible? so I can compare it with the ones I have in the original box.
After a week they gave me the macbook, the battery started to expand and now I can't even put it again in the computer! They told me that it was not their problem but I want to be sure that they didn't change it and gave me a damaged one.
Thanks!
First, if the battery has begun to expand, do NOT attempt to put it back in the computer. It can interfere with normal operation of the keyboard and trackpad, and in extreme cases damage the computer.
Batteries generally only start to expand after they have aged quite a bit. If it were new this would be very unlikely. Also, if they replaced that battery they would have charged you for a replacement, as batteries are considered consumable items generally not covered by warranty under normal use.
Best suggestion is to just go buy a new battery.
Best of luck.

oes mac book pro come with keynote and pages or doi have to purchase them seperately; can I purchase online? My son has an assignment due tomooorow they use macs at school and we assumed he could just finish it at home and..no Keynote!
Mac don't come with iWork installed unless you configure it while buying your Mac online.
However, iWork can be purchased at the App Store. You can buy the apps individualy (Pages, Numbers and Keynote) too. -
No matter where I go, as soon as I turn on the Internet on my new Mac Book Pro, everyone else is no longer able to use the Internet. How can I fix this? I received it as a gift for college, but its hard to do research when everyone constantly yells at me to get off because they can no longer continue what they're doing.
<Edited By Host>" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content. -
i brought battery charger for my mac book from the deferent store, and before i plug it to my mac book i want to verify that is genuine product. how do i get to know that?
It should have an Apple part number at the bottom of the charger and an embossed Apple logo on the face of the adapter.
Anyone can stamp a logo on the side, of course, so I would take a good luck at the part number and do an Internet search for the part number, making sure that it's genuine Apple.
Good luck,

My mac book air e-mail is trying to upgrade but it has frozen. How can I stop the upgrade as I cannot open my e-mail?
This isn't the fault of firefox. Firefox is a web browser, not your email provider. I'd suggest contacting them (whoever you use, gmail, yahoo, etc.) and asking for help.

Hi, Britni.
Apple can replace the keyboard. If your MacBook is still covered by AppleCare Protection Plan, the repair may even be free. -
5 days ago I bought a 13" MacBook Air from an apple store. It does not have Maverick on it! I paid full price for it, but since it has the old operating system I kind of feel like I bought a "clearance" item but payed full price for it! Does anyone have any advice, wisdom etc. This is my first Mac and I'm really bummed that it's not the latest and greatest. I know I can download maverick for free.....but are there other differences? Maybe something else that I thought I was getting but didn't? Thanks.
There is no difference, you didnt get "shorted" Mavericks is a FREE DOWNLOAD
Open the APP store and download Mavericks.
You didnt buy a "clearance" item, you just got an Air that was there at the shop before Mavericks was released.
There is no difference other than a 40 min. download. -

I have 2 Macs - an iMac which holds my main iPhoto library and a Mac Book Pro which holds a subset of the library. How can I transfer photos and their metadata from the main library to the smaller 1 on the Mac Book Pro?
Link the two Macs together and use iPhoto Library Manager

For some reason there a password on the guest user on my mac book pro when I try to login in to for someone to use, I didn't set the password I try to remove it and try disable the guest user but didn't work so don't know what to do please help
Restart the computer (with Parental Controls off) and try again. If there's no change, see below.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. -
I have Mac book 15. MAC OS X Version 10.5.8 is installed with Windows XP dual boot function.
My screen display got hazy and blurred, sometimes it is ok, but only in win xp.
I have tried it with external LCD, its worked fine, but second screen is stretching display, but showing me the same screen in MAC.
But in win XP display comes exactly on MAC book, means sometime hazy , sometimes ok.
Kindly help me???Most of us wouldn't know that here. Call your Apple Store.

I have a Mac Pro and it seems to have a malware. How can I remove it
I have a Mac Pro and seems like it has a malware, adware . How can i remove it. MACkeeper keeps on popping
You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
