I spill all my coffee on my new MacBook Air, its not working anymore, what should i do ? I have to buy a new one coz its pricy to fix it.

Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement.

Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

Please take the Mac to Apple store to have it checked out.

My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support?

My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support? Useless to say my PC didn't recognize the Ipod anymore either.

Anton, I wish I could help. I had an old iPod Classic (60 KB) as a gift but it went dead, I dropped it a few times accidentally, and it sat carefully saved until I had sufficient resources, energy and time to get the matter addressed. In my case, I actually took the thing (after making sure it was charged) to an Apple store and one of the geniuses at the genius bar at the back of the store took it and did a few things (unseen and un-noted) with his fingers and handed it to me with a sly smile. Voila, the thing was functional. I got a re-functionalized iTunes account and store access when I bought my iMac. I did lose a few tunes along the way because it didn't recognize my new iMac as the source (my old dead PC laptop), but I have a more functional memory than the iPod and recovered them all in other ways. The whole thing is humming better than ever. At over 11 gb full, I have 4.2 days worth of portable listening. Be patient; it took me four years to get musical nirvana in a pocket, but you'll get there faster. Call support.

Hello, Jdragone.
Thanks for the question. Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, download and install iTunes.

My new macbook air is not synching with my iPod classic anymore

any ideas on why my new macbook air is not synching with my iPod classic anymore? It used to just show up on iTunes but it's not there now

iTunes will only transfer music from the iPhone that were bought at Apple's iTunes store. You'll need to use a third party program such as Senuti to transfer music you got from other sources.

Will the new MacBook Air be able to handle what I need it for?

I'm about to buy my first ever Mac, exciting right?
Anywho, I was set on getting a MacBook (or possibly pro) then the new MacBook Air came out, after looking at it and doing a bit of research it seems to be a fantastic computer but I'm not sure if it can handle what I'll be using it for.
On a general day to day basis, I use these programs:
- a Web Browser (surfing the web and watching online video mostly)
- iTunes
- Scrivener (Writing Software)
- Skype
- AIM
- Microsoft Office
On about a weekly+ basis, I'll be using these programs:
- iMovie
- Adobe Flash CS5 Professional
- Adobe Photoshop CS5
- Other Adobe programs?
Other little tidbits that may be helpful:
- I'm a college student (And though I don't write a lot of essays, stupid technical classes, I will next year because...)
- I'll most likely major in Graphic Design, English or both.
- I spend a lot of time on the computer.
- I'm not a gamer, outside of the occasional online game
- I'm not planning on keeping too much on the computer. (Only programs and whatever project(s) I'm currently working on. Everything else will be kept in an external hard drive or Dropbox. Too keep away clutter and because having so many PC's crash on me has made me paranoid.)
I like the new MacBook Air because it's small and light and has the perfect amount of battery to fit my needs (I hardly ever keep my computer away from a plug for more than 7 hours) Also I really never use my CD drive on my laptop, in fact I think I only used it twice this past year. So really my only concern is that I'll buy it and end up discovering that it doesn't fit my needs, hence this post.
Beyond this I only have three questions:
1.) How much memory should I have? (I do want some wiggle room)
2.) Does a mini jack mean I have to buy special headphones or an adapter?
3.) Does the Facetime Camera = Web Cam? Can I use it for the same purposes? (ex. taking photos/videos, video chat through Skype, etc.)
And the main question: Would the New MacBook Air work for me? If not, which Mac should I get instead? (I'm getting a 13" laptop across the board)
And I probably posted way too much information about my computer life, but if there is anything I learned from taking technical classes its that the more information I can give the better suited computer you can advice me to get.
So thanks to anyone who responds!

The extra 2GB would make any computer run faster. Could you maybe explain more?
Absolutely. The 13" MBA (baseline configuration) at $1299 weighs in at $100 more than the 13" MBP, upgrade the MBA to 4GB and it's now $200 more. So you're paying more money for comparable or "slightly" better performance.
There's been a lot of performance benchmarks released over the past 4 days since I made my initial remark. Not to mention in that time I've had the opportunity to use a 13" MBA with 2GB & 4GB of RAM, although I had more time with the 2GB model. Some observations:
1.) What happens when you need to install something that's only available via CD or DVD? Part two of that question, what happens if you don't have access to a computer with an optical drive to share over to the MBA?
2.) What if you require FireWire connectivity or need to troubleshoot your computer via TDM?
3.) How do you manage 128GB?
4.) How do you run a presentation from the machine with an IR-base remote?
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm a big fan of the MBA, I was one of the first in line to buy one when the first generation came out and I made the 2nd generation MBA my "go to" mobile computer for well over a year. I've been very pleased with currently MBA, but it's not a jack of all trades and while it may be faster than my 13" MBP there are still scenarios that require features the MBP has 'standard' that the MBA does not offer or requires more $$ to implement.
My initial comment about "sluggish" performance was in respect to LightRoom3, Starcraft II, World of Warcraft and Adobe Photoshop CS5. I'll absolutely agree that equalizing the RAM would definitely help to level the playing field but thus far in my testing with the 13" MBA @ 4GB versus the 13" MBP @ 4GB there's still some noticeable difference in favor of the MBP.

New MacBook Air, iTunes was working at first, now will not play anything

Brand new Macbook Air and after an unnecessarily complicated setup I finally had music playing the first day. Now it will not play music or podcasts. Cleared cache, restarted, up to date. I press play it changes to the pause icon but no time movement, no sound. I went through all the steps to fix the problem of not downloading any of my purchased music, but now that I have it downloaded it won't play, when it had originally.
Downloaded a podcast, won't play. Yay, back on the Apple forum once again.
The original selling point of Apple was simplicity and reliability, now it is more convoluted, un-intuitive and unreliable than any windows product out there and I never thought I'd say that.

you're not dimwitted. I wonder sometimes! lol
just checking on something first. when you try to
play a song in itunes, does that little
diamond-shaped thingy stay firmly stuck to the left? Yes
if so, next let's explicitly doublecheck your precise
itunes version number. in itunes, go "help > about
itunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up
from the bottom of the screen. (for example, mine
says "itunes 6.0.5.20") 6.0.5.2
if you've got an itunes version 5.0.0.35, 5.0.1.4,
6.0.0.18 or 6.0.1.3
... first let's check on this possibility:
iTunes for Windows: Audio files do not play in
iTunes 5 or 6
if you've got an itunes version 6.0.2.23 or
higher, or the compatibility settings thing wasn't a
factor for you
... then first we'll try a careful standalone QT 7.1
reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone
installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install
from there rather than online.) switch off
antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the
install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes
play audio properly again? Yes, this did the trick!
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone
reinstall, let us know what it says. include error
message numbers if you're getting any.)
b noir I thank you so very much for being willing to share your knowledge and lending a helping hand! I am indebted to you!

Brand new MacBook Pro & Youtube: Not working together

I just bought this new MBP and whenever I go to watch a Youtube video, it encounters some serious difficulties. The videos load up to just a few seconds in and stop. If I drag the slider to any point in the video, it will play from that point, but only for a few seconds before locking up again a few second again.
I ran a software update, I've tried goofing around with some settings, and I have reinstalled flash. Does anyone have any ideas? It would be much appreciated.

(1) Be certain that all third-party software you have added is compatible with OS X 10.6.2. Uninstall any that cannot be updated for compatibility and test to see if your problem remains.
(2) If you do not have a third-party software problem, consider all relevant suggestions from
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
If your iSight problem occurs in more than one app and more than one user account, the reset suggested there often restores proper function of inbuilt iSight.
However, if after carefully following all the suggestions in the "How to Troubleshoot iSight" article, your built-in iSight still does not work, contact your retailer for help with your new Mac.

What do I do if my new macbook air does not accept my password even if I've tried more than a few times?

Hi there,
Just bougiht a new macbook air and the start up screen is not accepting my password even though I have typed it in a few times and correctly. I have already used this mac previously for 2 days and have added microsoft office today but this is the first time I have logged in since the installation.
I don't understand why the password isn't being accepted. Could it be the installation? Or do I need to reset my macbook air?
Just a note, I'm not proficient using a Mac.This is my first macbook.
Many thanks for the help.
Tony

You can reset your password with the install cd or usb ...
Follow these steps to reset a password when there is only one administrator account on the computer, or if the original administrator account needs a password reset. "Original" administrator account refers to the one that was created immediately after installing Mac OS X. If the original administrator password is known, that administrator account may be used to reset the passwords of other administrator accounts using the steps described above. These steps require an optical drive; if your Mac does not have an optical drive and you have a Mac OS X v10.6 Install disc, see below.
Start up from a Mac OS X Install disc (one whose version is closest to the version of Mac OS X installed). Usually, you can start from the disc by putting it in your computer, restarting, and holding the C key. Or, put it in the computer and click the Install or Restore icon you see in the disc's main window (after which the computer will start from the disc without you needing to hold C). Or, you can use Startup Manager or the Startup Disk preference pane to select the Install disc.
Choose a language, click the arrow button to continue,
Mac OS X v10.6 or later: Choose Password Reset from the Utilities menu.
Mac OS X v10.5 or v10.4: Choose Reset Password from the Utilities menu.
Mac OS X v10.3: Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu.

New MacBook Air does not read Pages properly

I migrated my old MacBook Air (2 years old) to my new MacBook Air (one month old) transferring Pages application and many documents in Pages, which I use to edit a magazine.
At first my new MBA refused to open any Pages documents, so I re-installed iWork from CD (using Remote Disc from my iMac). Now my new MBA does open Pages documents, but with disrespect for fonts:
- what was in bold appears in regular font
- what was in italics appears either in regular font or bold+italics
This is a complete disaster as it means I cannot work in the magazine when I travel with my MBA. Plus, I have already given away my old MBA to a friend!
Can anybody help?
Thank you !
Isabel

Did you moved the folder
Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:iWork '09:
from the old machine to the new one ?
This folder contain a lot of required items.
Without them, iWork's applications can't work.
Don't forget that the license clearly state that *_you must remove the app from the old machine_*

After updating to new version of Firefox, my paid for RoboForm will not work. What should I do? I MUST have it working. Thanks Jane

Yesterday I downloaded the new version of Firefox as suggested by you. Then my paid for version of RoboForm , which always has worked, would not work. I MUST have it working. What can I do now to solve this crucial problem? PLEASE send detailed info so I can follow exactly. Thanks, Jane P.

You need version 7 of RoboForm for Firefox 4. Version 6 will only work with Firefox 3.6.* or earlier.
If you have version 6 this may be viewed as a method to generate income by Roboform in forcing users to update to version 7 and not offering updates to version 6 to make it compatible.
An alternative free password manager that works with Firefox 4 is Lastpass - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/lastpass-password-manager
If you have version 6 of Roboform and need to use it you will have to downgrade to Firefox 3.6
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Brand new MacBook Pro does not work

Today I was SO excited to receive my brand new Mac in the mail only to find out the USB ports do not work I can't sign into my wifi no matter how many times I restart and try all these other tricks. A few hours on the phone with apple care later the solution is they will send me some shipping labels and I can mail in broken Mac for a new one. It's now hours later and there is no shipping label in my inbox or spam. And I'm really worried they'll just give me a refurb. If I paid so much for a new computer and got one that doesn't work I don't want a fixed one. I want a new out of the box Mac. These things are pricey. And they say I can't just get my money back. The only apple store near by is a 2 hour drive and they are the worst. Ever. Has anyone exchanged with apple and actually gotten something new? My iPhone 4S came without working volume and the apple store sent me away twice before FINALLY replacing my phone the third trip out there. This whole thing has been such a pain I just want my money back.

Complaining here will get you no where. Call and request a refund.

I spill all my coffee on my new MacBook Air, its not working anymore, what should i do ? I have to buy a new one coz its pricy to fix it.
