I need to buy a new MB for college! I'm thinking of getting a 13" MBA w/ the external DVD/CDROM drive and portable/external/whatever it's called memory. Where should I buy, Best Buy or Apple Store?
So basically a BB employee told me that instead of giving me the apple giftcard (one that would given to me for the back-to-school deal at apple) they would discount that off. Also, she says that their insurance policy (instead of apple care) would replace my macbook "then and there" if anything were to happen to it. Sounds too good to be true since I've had MANY MANY troubles with BB when I bought my first and only white MB 4 years ago. They were horrible. But she said the policy has changed since then and that people come in to exchange MBs daily. Can anyone help me! :3 Thank you <3
ALSO, (sorry for being a pain) is the MBA a good choice if I'm getting an external/portable hardrive as well as a DVD/CD-ROM drive? I need a MB for college stuff: writing papers, projects, presentations, other general college stuff. MBA doesn't have moving parts, which is a huge plus since I am not careful with my things, and will probably drop my MB a million times.
MacBook Air is a perfect choice for a college student. I have used a MBA as my only machine for several years now and am a professional in the advertising industry. I write a lot, do some (little) graphics work, code, and create presentations and videos. It's more than capable.
I have an external CDRW/DVDRW but I got mine from Amazon it's not Apple-branded. It works great but was a fraction of the cost. Also if you buy the Air from Amazon you can get free shipping and pay no sales tax, which may come out to less than getting the educational discount. However, if you qualify for both the $100 gift card and the educational discount you'll probably come out better getting it at Apple.
Here's the top of the line Air at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00746YD24/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=beley-20&camp=0&creati ve=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B00746YD24&adid=0PNV1Q2S073PY61NZQZX&
And a good DVD burner: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004ZMVQRA/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=beley-20&camp=0&creati ve=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B004ZMVQRA&adid=1GWB9HRMSW1VW92SD9WF&

I needed to buy a new battery for my Apple Remote
I thought that it might be helpful for other users to know that if their brand new Apple Remote is not working, it may be because the CR2032 battery is old. In my case, I had to think why was my new Apple Remote not working:
1) the battery was old
2) the Remote was broken
3) the computer sensor was broken
I am glad that after spending $4.49 cents at the local Ace that as soon as I hit menu, the Apple Remote screen came up on my Mac.i need to buy a new battery for my Macbook 13-inch aluminum, late 2008 (A1280) .. ... and i can´t find it at the Apple Store Web, please help me

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 m in india i want to know that Is i phone 4s (16 Gb) unlocked version available in New York Apple Store & what is the price?bcoz one of my friend is in USA & he want to buy from new york for me
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).

I live in Ireland. How can I buy a new battery for my N500?
I need to buy a new battery for my Lenovo 3000 N500. However, in the Ireland section of the Lenovo web site NONE of the dealers have this part in stock. It is in stock on the US and UK sections of the web site, but apparently only people in those countries can buy it on line. I would be prepared to buy it online from the US or the UK and pay the shipping charges to Ireland. In more than 13 years on the web, Lenovo is the first company I've encountered where I haven't been able to use my credit card to purchase an item from the US or the UK. I do this all the time with companies like Land's End, Amazon, James Meade etc etc.
Fine, if I'm not allowed buy from the US and the UK. But at least,then, make sure I have some other way of buying the part - either on line or from a store.According to Apple:
iPod Owners
Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery replacement for $49 (iPod shuffle), $59 (iPod nano and iPod classic), and $79 (iPod touch) plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.

From where I can buy a new screen for my I phone 5?
from where I can buy a new screen for my I phone 5 in Saudi Arabia?
If the official Apple support is through the carriers, you should go in and tell them you would like to do an out of warranty exchange.
According to the support links from the Saudi Arabia Apple web site, the carriers are responsible for iPhone support (as KiltedTim already said) but the web page indicates to contact your carrier for out of warranty (ie. for fee) options.
In case you've never heard of it, the out of warranty exchange program allows for the exchange of damaged devices that are not covered under warranty for factory refurbished units, at a fee (e.g. in the USA, that fee for an iPhone 5 would be $229).
You might want to ask specifically about that program - maybe the person you spoke with about support was simply not aware of that program since they do not work for Apple directly. -
Where can I buy a new battery for my macbook
Where can I buy a new battery for my macbook
Depending on the build year model configuration
(reference serial number lookup online) you may
have a MacBook w/ built-in battery, or maybe not.
If yours does not have a user-accessible battery
you may want to look into iFixit.com guides to see
what they suggest for your specific MacBook.
And then consider if you are up to the DIY steps
with ability to do the complete service yourself,
or if not, then contact a qualified certified service
center to inquire their estimate for part + labor.
However if your computer does have an easily
replaced battery with external access where
you are essentially looking at the battery, that
is just a matter of identifying the correct Mac
to get a matching part from reputable reseller.
You could probably get a replacement battery
from Apple, if the computer isn't really old...
Or you could look online at places such as
OWC where they offer a few batteries. Just
be sure to avoid the low-end no-name clones
from auction sites or cheap copy imports.
Good luck & happy computing! -
After finally downloading my MiniDV tapes to iMovie 10.0.6 (Yosemite), I see that there is no iDVD (why did I buy a new Superdrive for my new MacMini). So, can I buy an old iLife 9 and expect it to load to the new machine. This is NOT progress!! HELP
Hello!
They're still being sold in some places: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dsoftware&field-keywo rds=ilife+09&sprefix=iLife+09%2Caps%2C194&rh=n%3A229534%2Ck%3Ailife+09
However, do you absolutely NEED iDVD? There are alternatives, like Burn (free): http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/
I suggest you try it out since it's free. Maybe it'll be enough. -

Where can buy a new keyboard for my netbook?
I have Nokia Booklet with water damaged keyboard... where can buy a new keyboard for my netbook?
Sorry to hear your bad experience with Nokia Care Point in your region. Are you able to go to the retailer you purchsed the netbook from and ask if they could provide you with that part?
Also, you may want to try call Nokia Care Line and they may have more recommendation as to where you can get a replacement. For now I would suggest you to plug in a external keyboard until you manage to track down a retailer which will replace your keyboard.
Hope this gets sorted out for you soon.

My computer crashed and I have to buy a new one. What happens to my Contacts, Photos, etc when i use the new computer? I do not have an iTunes backup.
Do you have the iCloud set up? If you don't you need to buy a third party software that will do it for you when you plug your phone into the new computer. You can google: iPad/iPhone/iPod to Computer Transfer. You have to pay for the software but it's really a life saver and you get free updates for life. It'll save you a lot of pain and suffering in the future. I've used it many times.

I want to Facetime my Ipad from my Iphone but they are both set up with the same Apple id. Do I need to create a new id for one of them in order to facetime with the other?
You should be able to call the iPad using your Apple ID from the iPhone. When calling from iPad use the iPhone's phone number to initiate the call.
