I have a MBP 15" from late 2007, right before the unibody. The battery has just entered "Replace Battery Now" state after several months in "Replace Battery Soon". Where can I purchase a replacement battery?
Everything on Amazon gets terrible reviews, and I'll bet they are in the same state already. The machine still runs great, so I don't need to replace it for what I need. Appreciate any direction on this.

Loud beep sound when starting up my Mac book air (2007), right before the classic start-up noise
There is a very loud beep right before the classic Mac start up "bong"
I'm thinking there might be something wrong with the ram...
Any answers? Thanks!Although it's an older article, for the most part it's applicable -

The beep on startup is usually an indication of a failed RAM module. It's also possible that a recent firmware update on the machine was botched. If you didn't recently perform a firmware update then it's probably the RAM. As the RAM is soldered directly to the logic board it cannot be replaced individually, it'd require a full logic board replacement.
Given the age of the machine, it's unlikely still covered by the AppleCare Protection Plan and definitely not the one year limited warranty.
The next course of action would be to bring the machine into the Genius Bar or AASP and have them evaulate your repair options. -
I have a 13 inch macbook (late 2007) what is the maximum allowable height for a hard drive?
what is the maximum allowable height for an internal hard drive. I want to replace my hard drive are there any other things I should make sure of in terms of compatability?

would they erase it and reformat it? what is the purpose of doing so?
they have to format it to make it mac "compatible", for a lack of better terms. I don't know what they would do. -
Why are my downloaded songs from ITunes cutting off before the song has played?
I am new to ITunes. I purchased 6 albums. Why are my downloaded songs starting in the middle and cutting off before they have played?
Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc. -
... realised... sorry
You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support :http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team :http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312. Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570 -

I have a new Mac Pro computer and have migrated my files from my older computer to the new computer. In trying to open a Lightroom catalog on an external hard drive I keep on getting the message "lightroom cannot use the catalog named " " because it is not writable and cannot be opened. I have fixed all the "permissions" and yet it will still not open. How do I fix this?
Hello Forum Members,
I figured it out. You have to select the actual logo of the Lightroom catalog and then click on "get info" and allow what ever your new user name to "read and write". That worked!

my wife just got the new macbook air. What cable do I need to copy music and photos from my 2007 macbook to the new macbook air?
Try doing it without a cable!
Use AirDrop, described here:

UPDATE - Oh, sorry, I see the article points out the MacBook is too old for AirDrop.

My iPhone has just been replaced and I am trying to restore from iCloud but its saying no backups are compatible with the version of IOS 6.0.1. My back iOS are IOS 6.1. Can you update the phone first then restore?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes, update first, Settings > General > Software Update.
Then navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from. -

There are no keys, there is no trial version of OSX (ML or Mavericks) and Mavericks is free

Have you tried connecting it to your computer and restoring the iPod via iTunes?
If iTunes does not see the iPod try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restoring the iPod. For recovery mode see:
