I'm looking to format my 2007 MacBook. How much will it cost?

Any ideas?

Nothing. You do not have to pay in order to format a hard drive, always that you have got the Mac OS X DVD.
Insert the Mac OS X DVD and hold the C key while your Mac is starting up to start up from the DVD. Then, choose your language, go to Utilities menu (in the menu bar) > Disk Utility, and use it to format the hard drive > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
You will delete everything, so it is important that you have a backup of your most important files before doing this. Also, if you want to carry on using your Mac, you will have to install Mac OS X again

  • How much will it cost to replace touch pad for macbook pro 15'?

    Hi everyone, just wondering, how much will it cost to get my touchpad replaced in the apple store? Wan ted to check it out before I go there in person
    Thanks!

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for the 64 GB one and $99 for the others. They do not fix yours.

  • How much will it cost me to replace the whole top screen of my macbook, including the part that pivots to open and close it?

    I'm not sure of what it's exactly called, but my whole screen (including the black part that attaches the screen to the keyboard) is in bad condition. My screen is cracked, and when I open my macbook, the hinge is loose and flops and does not stay in place. Does anybody know how much it would cost for a replacement? Would I be better off buying a new laptop?
    Thanks

    This is an international community.  Prices vary from country, state, city, etc. 
    You should call the repair shop of your choice and ask for an estimate.  Make sure the estimate includes taxes, labor costs, etc.
    Remember, no one can give you an exact figure until the repair techs physically examine & run diagnostics on your computer to confirm what is wrong w/it.

  • How much RAM can I put in my Macbook Pro (late 2006), and how much will it cost me?

    I am currently running at a:
    2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
    2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM in Memory
    ATI Radeon X1600 256 MB in Graphics
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) in Software
    & it's a 15inch Macbook Pro incapable of upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    I know i have a lot of limitations due to the age of this mac, but I would like
    to know as to how far I can go with the one that I have. Please help.

    Your MBP will be able to use a maximum of 3 Gb RAM.  The exact specifications are: 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM.  Best sources are Crucial and OWC.  Their websites will have the prices.
    Snow Leopard is an excellent OS.  I have it on my 2010 MBP and have no intention of installing Lion/Mt Lion.  It is stable and efficient, more so than the newer ones.  Do not view that as a handicap.
    You might also consider installing a larger HDD.  Your MBP can handle the largest ones available to day (1 Tb).  For a pre-unibody MBP, it is a bit harder than the current crop but achievable of you have rudimentary mechanical skills and a bit of patience.  See the OWC website for excellent how to do it videos.
    Ciao.

  • How much does it cost to fix water damage to a brand new MacBook Pro?

    I think I may have water damage to a very new MacBook Pro. After the incident, it was dried and taken directly to the computer store. The computer store is drying it more under special lamps for the next few days. They won't get to look at it for about six days so it will remain off until then. There is 2yr MacBook Care Warranty and the macbook is less than 2months old. If the sensor shows there is water damage- will the warranty be void? Will the 250 just spent for the warranty be lost? How much will it cost to fix damage if there is damage found? Thank you.

    My understanding is that the Apple care for Mac is a 36 months care plan which covers internal manufactured service parts i.e. Failed logic board burst LCD screen or damaged battery .
    Water/liquid damage falls under accidental damage so in this case your mac would not be covered.
    Most Macs have a metal plate underneath the keyboard to stop water filtering through to the Logic board which are neck bracingly expensive to replace.
    My advice would be to take your mac into an apple store so the technicians can identify what the liquid damage has effected from which they will be able to give you a quote as to how much its going to cost fix the issue or replace the part.

  • How much does it cost to replace a macbook 2007 keyboard cover

    I have a white Macbook purchased in August 2007. The keyboard cover is starting to crack at the place where the ridges from the screen cover hit the bottom. I was just wondering if anyone has had this problem, and had the part replaced and how much it may cost. Thanks.

    Ya I have an appointment. I was just hoping to get an estimate before I went in. The nearest Apple store is a trek to get to, and an estimate out of my cost range would save me a trip.

  • I have a 2007 Mac OS X 10.5.8. How do I go about bringing everything on it up-to-date? Maybe refurbishing it? How much might that cost approximately?

    Okay so there are a few things you can do to bring your MacBook up to speed. You may find, however, that purchasing a new computer will be more cost effective for you.
    Adding RAM - this is one place you can get very good value for your money. Max out your MacBook's RAM.
    Purchase and install a larger hard drive. If you've been running out of drive space or just want more, hard drives are inexpensive and easy to install.
    Update your operating system - You can get Snow Leopard for $29 from Apple. When it comes out next month you can then get Lion for $29.99 from the Mac App Store. Unfortunately as of yet there is no way known to upgrade directly from Leopard to Lion.
    Add an external hard drive to your system for backup. This is always a good idea to have, as data that is in only one place is vulnerable to loss if your hard drive fails.
    Update all of your applications. Many can be bought online now through the Mac App Store, which has made it easy and inexpensive for applications that are available there.
    Things you cannot upgrade -
    Your MacBook's processor. This is the brain of the computer and a faster one will give you a speed boost in some applications. It is part of the logic board so you can't put a new one in.
    Video card - also part of the logic board.
    Interfaces such as FireWire, USB, video out, audio in and out.
    If you need any of these, look for a newer computer.
    Hope this helps you out.
    Best of luck.

  • My macbook screen is damaged..how much will be the cost if i will change the screen..thanks

    my macbook screen is damaged..how much will be the cost if i will change the screen..thanks

    I have a 2007 17" MBP and the screen looks as thou it is delaminating and I can only see every other vertical lines, about a week ago it started having red or blue hue to the display. I found a replacement screen on eBay for 85.00 but the level of difficulty scared me off, The screen with the clam shell from apple 500.00+ an I still have to put it in and the level of difficulty was lower but still to high. The apple store offered a service, they would have my MBP for a week to 10 days and would send it out to have the screen replaced at a cost of just over 300.00, I do not have to do the work. I feel 300.00 to replace the display on a MBP that cost me over 2500.00 is worth the investment.

  • I dropped my macbook pro on the floor and I wanted to see how much it would cost to get a bent corner on the lid to get fixed.

    I recently dropped my macbook pro from the couch and it fell on the floor that was about a foot down. Nothing really major happened except for that the same area where the screen is, on the exterior of that there is a slightly bent corner. I really wanted my macbook pro to look in good condition and I wanted to know if there is any way I can repair this or do I have to replace the whole lid. I would also like to know how much it would cost. Please Help!

    Apple Genius Bar will know better, even if you did show us a picture.  We are just users like you.
    I would start keeping very regular backups regardless.

  • How much would it cost to replace a cracked trackpad on a 13 inch unibody Macbook Pro

    I think I closed my laptop with something inside and when I reopened it, there was a fairly large crack in my trackpad on my 13 inch Macbook Pro. How much would it cost to get the trackpad replaced?

    I suggest you take it the Apple Store and allow them to look at it. The may be much more damage then you are able to see.

  • I bought a Macbook Pro in August 2011, so it has been only 16 months up to now. However, its logic board is broken now. Can I ask 1) where can I buy this mainboard?, and 2) how much does it cost?. Thank you

    This is one instance where you'll curse yourself for not having bought the AppleCare Warranty extension and gotten the board for free.
    Anyway, get your model number handy and go look up the parts in www.powerbookmedic.com or www.ifixit.com amongst other places. They've also have videos or photo pictorials on how to do the replacement. Not altogether trivial, be sure to spread the adequate amount of thermal paste on the CPU and GPU, else you'll fry the new board in short order again.
