I need a link to buy online battery for Mac Book Pro 15" late 2008. Can't find this battery in the Apple Store...Battery: Model No. A1281 10.8 V 50 Wh.

The only place that you can get an Apple battery is from Apple.  All of the counterfeiter's will claim that they have an OEM battery for the simple reason so that they can fool you in purchasing from them.
At least from OWC you know exactly what you will be purchasing and they have a one year warranty.  I have purchased two from them, one for my 2006 MBP and one for my 2010 MBP.

    Hi ..
    Make sure your Mac can run Mavericks >  OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
    v10.9 Mavericks no longer available from the App Store but may be able to acquire a redemption code from Apple via email.
    Open the App Store. Select either Features, Top Charts, or Categories in the menu top of the window.
    Then click Support under Quick Links right of the App Store window then click Contact Support.
    Once you have the redemption code, click Redeem under Quick Links.

  • Bought new battery for Mac Book Pro and it won't charge/hold charge...HELP!

    My MBP has been running solely on power adapter for months, I finally bought a replacement battery for my MBP 15" and installed it to charge yesterday. The light on my adapter never turned green. And when I went to unplug it, it immediately powered down, even thought it showed 15% power on the screen. When I press the silver button on the battery all five light up green. What am I doing wrong here?? Also, even if the new battery is in the computer and my power adapter is in the computer still powers down. What next??

    I hope the warranty on your junk battery will be honored. You wouldn't be the first person to be victimized by the sellers of such junk batteries, many of whom have failed to honor their so-called warranties or been completely untraceable when push came to shove.

  • Why do I need to connect my Ipad mini with my Mac Book Pro via iCloud?

    Why do I need to connect my Ipad mini with my Mac Book Pro via iCloud? I don't have iCloud on my MacBook Pro and only intend to use the mini to check e-mail and use Garage Band and Photo Booth for song writing when traveling . . .

    Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
    In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
    When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
    You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
    Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
    High regards to everybody

    Do you have a backup that you can restore from? Your old hard drive seems to be the problem.

    i currently have os x 10.4 and per itunes, i need 10.5 to download the itunes version that supports the ipod touch 4th generation
    can i purchase 10.5 on the apple store and is it safe to go from 10.4 directly to 10.5....what is the best procedure

    You cannot get Leopard from Apple any more. You will find copies from third-party vendors on eBay, Amazon, or Google.
    If you have an Intel Mac you can upgrade to Snow Leopard instead provided your model meets the requirements shown below:
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.

  • Macbook Pro 15" late 2008 random improper shutdowns on battery

    Hi, my macbook pro 15" late 2008 model shuts down by itself when on battery. The problem started one day out of nowhere about 2 months ago. There seems to be no recurring pattern in the shutdowns as I can sometimes use the computer for one or two hours, sometimes only 5 minutes before it shuts down. The computer works perfectly when the charger is plugged in, and also when the battery is pulled out and only the charger is plugged in.
    Here is what I've done so far:
    Reset of the SMC
    Reset of PRAM
    Repair of hard disk and disk permissions with Disk Utility
    Reinstallation of Snow Leopard 10.6.3 from disc and then install of all software updates
    Reinstallation of all updates with the downloadable Combo Update
    None of this fixed the problem.
    I am a student in Glasgow, but normally live in Luxemburg. When I went back to Lux for the holidays I sent the mac for repair at Lineheart Luxemburg. The first time it was returned to me after a week. They hadn't detected the problem because they had only ran the tests with the charger pluggged in. I was quite annoyed as you might understand. All they told me was to buy an 85W charger for the mac as I only had a 60W one. This is my uncles old computer and I don't know why he had the wrong charger. I got the computer a year ago and it had worked flawlessly until now. The 85W charger didn't fix my problem.
    I sent the mac back to Lineheart and they ran a second test for free. They found the problem and all they did was to repair the hard drive with Disk Utility and reinstall Snow Leopard 10.6.3. WHICH I HAD ALREADY DONE MYSELF. This time I was really annoyed. The problem basically occured again straight after I went to get the computer.
    Now I am back in Glasgow and I have an appointment at the Genius Bar tomorrow. I hope they can be of a bit more help although the people at Lineheart are "Apple Mac Certified Technicians" too. I've already spent 140€ for nothing.
    All I really want is to test the computer with another battery since the problem seems to really come from there. However none of the technicians did this and I don't have any friends with a similar model of Macbook.
    The cycle count is at 263 and the status is "normal" for the battery.
    There is a weird problem though, when I plugg in the charger the icon on the top right will first say "not charging" if I unplug the cable at this moment the computer dies. If I leave it in for about a minute it will start calculating the time until full charge. This takes MUCH LONGER than it used to and when it's done I get something silly like 20 hours or 6:30 hours until full charge. After 5-10 minutes it starts calculating again. After a long time I get something more sensible like 1:30 or 2 hours until full charge. Notice that during this entire time, the percentage of the charge will not have change by a single percent. It can sometimes take up to an hour until the battery actually starts charging.
    I've read on different forums that this can be related to the logic board and then my Macbook will just have to become a stationary computer since I can't pay 1200€ to get the logic board replaced. I really hope I just need battery replacement.
    Also, after I turn on the mac again after an improper shutdown my antivirus (avast!) will give me a message "An internal error has occured. You can find more information in the system logs. After filtering for shutdown this is what I found. (sorry for the screenshot, I couldn't find how to copy the log)
    Sorry for this very long description but I wanted you to have all the information. I'm really getting desperate so any help is appreciated even if it's only on how to locate the problem I would be so gratefull. Thank you all.

    Yes, I boot up from the OS 10.6.3 installation disc and use Disc Utility to repair Disk and Permissions. I must tell you though, I've done the disc repair and permission repair quite a few times and it has never helped. Right now I've forgotten the OS disc in Luxemburg so I can only get it when I'm back in 3 weeks.
    I ran Disc Utility today though and repaired permissions. The only one that wasn't fixed was an SUID-file.
    I also checked the disc and it has some problems but I can't fix them until I get my OS disc or if I ask them to do it at the Genius Bar.
    Yes, I have a Time Machine backup on an external usb HDD, last time I backed up was yesterday.

  • Can my IPhone4 be repaired in the Apple store even if i didn't buy it from there?

    Hi. I was just wondering but does anyone know that if I didnt buy my IPhone4 from the Apple store could i still get it repaired for free? As I havent had it a year yet. If not, Could i still pay for it to get it repaired? How much are costs of damage? The charging port doesn't work on my phone at all and it hasnt been charged for over a week. I need a lot of help as im not very good with phones. All answers will be welcome. Thanks!

    If it is not under warranty, then you can purchase an out of warranty replacement.
    The cost would depend upon the country.

  • Do I need to change any settings to connect my mac book pro to my tv?

    Do I need to change any settings on my mac book pro to connect to my tv

    Almost certainly, yes. Did you want to know which settings?
    Exactly what settings you would need to change, where, and to what would depend on many factors, including at least the following:
    * what model MBP you have (which will tell us the connector available),
    * what version of Mac OS X it runs (which will tell us the settings available),
    * what sort of TV you have (resolution, what connectors it offers, how they are switched, etc.),
    * what connecting facilities you have (like wires or an AppleTV),
    * how you want to use the TV (primary screen, secondary screen, mirror screen, sole screen),
    * whether you want to play audio through the TV,
    and even
    * where the TV is located with respect to the MBP.
    Simple case: New enough MBP to have HDMI output, running a recent OS X, TV new enough to have an available HDMI input, an HDMI cable on hand, using the TV as a secondary screen, and you don't care about how the screen positions relate or where the audio plays. You might be able to get away with default settings on the computer, but you'll still probably have to switch the TV to the HDMI input, and you'll have to drag windows onto the new screen.

  • Do you need anti virus software for mac book pro

    Is it true that the new mac book pro computers are now more susceptable to virus attacks and malware then the Mac books made  5 years ago.
    If this is true what is being recommended to protect your mac book pro?
    thank you

    OS X has got its own security systems, so you don't need any security application. Don't use any commercial antivirus. If you want more information about OS X and malware, see > http://www.thesafemac.com/mmg
    If you want an antivirus, use ClamXav or Sophos, but as I said, you don't need these applications.
    Now, there are some viruses for OS X. However, they are not serious, so you just need to keep your Mac updated, because the most recent Mac OS X versions include important security improvements

  • Action initiated: Upgrade Mac Book Pro to Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.-, via Wi-fi. After 2 hours said could not install it. I tried again through Ethernet (cable). No success. Should I buy itagain? How this thing with the Apple store works? Not so familiar.

    The OS X Mountain Lion I tried to download Wi-Fi on Mac Book Pro was not successfull. Should I buy it again? Should I check with Apple store for credit?
    I successfully instaled it in iMac, but have problem with laptp. I also think I should not have bought 2 upgardes, becase if I have 2 computers, one paid upgrade is good for both computers. Am I wrong? SOmeone can advise how to proceed? I want to try again through Ethernet - cable internet - instead of Wi-Fi. Thank you

    You should not have paid twice. If you logged into the App Store with the same AppleID as you used to purchase Mountain Lion the first time, you should not have been charged again.
    If you internet connection is not working well enough to download it, do you have access to another network that might be faster? Perhaps and Apple Store nearby?

    Rid the MBP of Genieo and Norton AV.  For Genieo, use these instructions:

    Check the Norton web site for removal instructions.
    If your MBP has had kernel panics. log one and post it per these instructions:

  • I "think" I upgraded to Mountain Lion. The only reason is I need to back up my mac to iCloud. Now I can't find how to do the back up.

    Also now I can't hold down the "control" button and use the "wheel" on my mouse to enlarge the page so I can see the **** thing.

    Open Accessibility preferences in System Preferences. Click on the Zoom icon in the list:
    Set your desired Zoom options in the attached panel:
    Basic Backup
    For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
    1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
    2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
         used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
         requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
         drive being backed up.
    Mac 101- Time Machine
    Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Data Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined.  It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.)  You can purchase hard drives separately.  This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice.  Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu.  You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
    Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available.  You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports.  I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.)  You can find enclosures at places such as;
      1. Cool Drives
      2. OWC
      3. WiebeTech
      4. Firewire Direct
      5. California Drives
      6. NewEgg
    All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover.  Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.
