I have a Macbook buyed in january/2009 in New York in Apple Central Park Store.
When I start the computer appears a double scren, then a few of background and then black screen, ilumitated but black screen.
Perhaps that is a screen fail. Could you please tell me if Apple have spare screen? Can I get a screen, perhaps with some program to assit to customer from Apple?
Thank you
Ivan Betancourt

Ivan,
This may not be a failure of the screen.
Try a SMC reset, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
Please post back if this does not help. Are you located close to an Apple Store?

  • When I power up my 2008 Mac Pro I get the "welcome", chime, fan goes on, a light goes on on my Apple monitor and then nothing - black screen.  Whats going on?

    When I power up my 2008 Mac Pro I get the "welcome chime", fan comes on, a light comes on on my Apple moniter and then nothing - black screen. What,s going on?

    what you describe as the "welcome chime" is the indicator that your Mac has passed the Power-On Self test, and if a suitable source of software can be found, booting is likely.
    If the screen stays dark, the most likely explanation is a graphics card failure. But it could also be caused by a backlight failure in the LCD, so be sure you try shining a bright light at the screen to be check whether the picture is there, but just not illuminated.
    Graphics card failure will end the boot-up process in some cases, and not have an impact in others. Two external indications you can use when your display is not working are: The Caps Lock key, which is under the control of Mac OS X, and the Control-Eject dialog box shown below. Note that the default is Shutdown, so a Mac that shuts down in response to Control-Eject followed by Return is working fine.

  • I have an Ipod Touch and i have had it for about 3 years now, the screen has smashed just now and i was wondering if anyone knew how much it will be to replace the screen? I cant afford to buy a new ipod so I just want to replace the screen?

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • How to repair the iPhone 5 which buy from New York but now I am in HK

    How to repair the iphone 5 which I buy in  New York

    Probably not because the iPhone warranty is NOT international, but is country specific, so if you purchased it in the US, then it will have to go back to the US for repair.
    You can try and take it into a store in Hong Kong and see if they will help you, but if it is a US phone, then they have every right to refuse due to warranty cover and they also have different models if your phone needs replacing and they won't be able to give you the same model if the phone came to from the US and this is why warranty cover for the iPhone is country specific and NOT international.
    You can try, but you might be out of luck and if so, then there is nothing you can do except send the phone to any relatives that you have living in the US and see if they will take it to an Apple store in the US to get it repaired for you.  Otherwise you'll have to get it repaired on your next trip to the US.
    This is exactly why you should have thought very long and hard before purchasing a US iPhone and having exactly this situation where you can get nothing done about repairing the phone due to country specific warranty.
    The only other thing that you can do of course, is to buy a new iPhone from Hong Kong and then you will have no problem with warranty cover.

    AFAIK, no officially unlocked iPhones are available in any Apple stores in the US. You can call & ask, but I suspect you'll find they are only available through Apple's online store(requires a verified billing/shipping address in the US).

    Yes, but it's much cheaper to buy RAM from a reliable supplier like Crucial or OWC.

    You are jumping to conclusions... Nobody has said or implied anything like that.
    As stated...
    Then you need to ask them their Warranty Conditions.

    New to the iMac and apple

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you aren't going to use your Mac for anything special (Final Cut, Aperture, Photoshop, games...), you don't need that graphic card and you will save money.
    Also, as it looks like you are going to buy the 27-inch iMac, I recommend you to buy the Mac with 8 GB of memory, and then, buy the memory that your iMac needs in OWC or Crucial (the iMac supports 32 GB of RAM) > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/2012_27/DDR3L
    Doing this, you will save a lot of money. Also, it won't void the warranty of the Mac. If you need help installing the RAM, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5540

    By "charger," do you mean a USB power adapter that plugs into the wall outlet (used to "charge" the iPod), or are you asking about the USB docking cable that connect the iPod to the computer?

  • I had downloaded and used Final Cut Pro 7 (studio 3) on my mac, but it died. Can I download it to my new computer without buying a new copy? I'm not sure of the number of installations for academic copies. How would I do this?

    AH...good. 
    There is no limit on the times you can install it from the DVDs. There's just a limit as to being able to run it on multiple machines AT THE SAME TIME. If your old computer dies, or you sell it (please reformat the drive so they don't get FCP for free), then you can install on a new computer fine.  And you are allowed to install on (1) desktop and (1) laptop at the same time as well...but only use it on one machine at any given time. Meaning you can use it on the desktop at work, and then when away from the office, on your laptop.
    Long story short...you can install it fine without any issues.

  • How can I change the CC size of Apple Store rented movies on the 3rd generation Apple TV (iOS 6.0)?

    How can I change the CC size of Apple Store rented movies on the 3rd generation Apple TV (iOS 6.0)?

    So, mich, according from what I've figured out that's not possible on Apple TV. What I actually think is lack of features. Any free software avaliable on Internet has suck a basic feature like that...
    I've contacted Apple about it too, but I think they don't care about me!

  • Hi, I am going to buy a new iMac desktop. I am going for the 3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel i7, 16 GB RAM and 2TB ATA Drive. I want to know whether I should go for the dual drives option i.e including the 256 GB SSD. I do a lot of 'heavy' media work. Brian

    by looking at the specs the laptop is better but if your not a gamer or graphics designer  then you most likly wont notice a difference in the performance at all so with that said a few downsides
    the processor is i5 the i7 processor is the better processor the graphics card has half the dedicated memory that the laptop has and the hdd compared to the solid state is not much of a difference unless you wanna move your computer all the time you wont need a solid state drive
    but like i said before if your not a gamer or graphics designer on your computer you will not notice the difference most likely

  • Where can buy a new ipad 4g with CDMA. looks like only the USA edition support CDMA

    where can buy a new ipad 4g with CDMA. looks like only the USA edition support CDMA

    You would need to purchase it within the country in which your are trying to use it. CDMA devices are tied to a specific carrier (for example, a Sprint CDMA iPhone will not work on Verizon's CDMA network). I'd contact the carrier your interested in using.
