I have a an early 2009 13" macbook that had water spilled on it, whats the cheapest way to fix it?
I had water spill on my macbook and it shorted out. the macbook will turn back on but it must be plugged into power, won't run from battery. also the ethernet port is out on it. not sure what else isn't working.
when water is spilled on a mac, do the following:
Turn it off IMMEDIATELY
Remove the battery if the battery is user removable
Call an Apple store or AASP and make an appointment for evaluation so they can accuratley assess the damage and provide and estimate...no one in here can tell you the extent of the damage since we don't physically have the mac.

I'm waiting for my new iPhone 5s to be delivered. I lost my iPhone 5 but did have it backed up on my MacBook Pro. I was using iOS6 at the time. Will I have a problem restoring the data to my new iPhone 5s assuming it will come with iOS7?
No, you should not. There are problems trying to go the other way, but updating a newer iOS release from a backup of an older iOS release has always been supported and is the basic means of setting up a new device from a previous one.

I wish to upgrade my Macbook Pro to ML from SL but told the only way to do this is by downloading thru App store. Is it possible to copy ML on to a USB and upgrade that way. I would like to have a back up of the OS installation files just in case i have a problem later. Please help me!
You can create an install disc but you would have to download Mountain Lion to do so..

If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141 -

My Macbook (2009 White) Has had water spilled onto it, it all works apart from the screen. When connected to an external display it works fine, just not on the Macbook itself. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Take it to Apple and ask them to fix the physical damage the water caused.

I have a MacBook that had Mcafee on it and went to great lengths to get it off. Unfortunately after running all the remove scripts and support from mcafee, in my console it still shows com.apple.launchd{1} with message (com.mcafee.virusscan.VshieldEPointInterface[7881]) Exeted with exit code:1 Then the next line says will start in 10 seconds and it repeats endlessly.
Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,

If music etc was purchased from itunes store then go to the itunes app on ipad and check purchased to see what you can redownload for free.
Assume you can't sync the iPad as you are on Tiger with old iTunes version. -
I want to run Quicken through Windows on my macbook pro, whats the best way to do this?
I want to run Quicken 2012 through Windows on my macbook pro, whats the best way to do this?
I have been looking at Parallels or VMware in order to use Windows but then I will also need to get a Windows license. Just looking for the most inexpensive way possible as this will probably be the only Windows app I run.
Also looking at this CrossOver software which says you dont need Windows license. Anyone used this before? had success?CrossOver's website has a list of software it has certified as working or working with known issues - Quicken 2012 has a bronze rating meaning it runs but with enough issues that it isn't recommended. In other words, "Run away!"
Get a copy of Windows 7 OEM from Amazon or New Egg and give it a try with VirtualBox (an open source virtualization program). If VirtualBox doesn't cut it you can always buy VMWare or Parallels.
