I was just wondering how old do you have to be to finance a macbook pro

hi i was just wondering how old do you have to be to finance a macbook pro, im in high school and i im always doing projects with my friend, and since im always at their house i wanted to get a macbook so i can bring what i wroute and others stuff to their house. Also how much money would it cost to finance it.

Forget about financing a Mac.
If you can't afford to pay big boy cash up front + AppleCare + tax + backup drives + third party software + OS X annual upgrades + annual third party software upgrades + case + adapters + this and that... etc.
Then you really shouldn't be getting one because money is already too tight for you and there is a lot of other costs besides the sticker price that can even exceed the sticker price.
I've paid over $10,000 over 10 years for Mac's and associated software and hardware.
My Windows XP Dell Tower using friend used the same $600 machine over that same time frame, perhaps to $1000, paid for a few changes, RAM upgrades etc., but nothing even close to what I have spent on Mac's.
Mac's are for the rich.
A Windows 7 laptop will do you just fine for $400 at any office store and perform just the same as a 13" MacBookPro costing $1500 + $400 in AppleCare and Tax, they are almost idential performance wise except for the name and the case.
If you want to 3D game, get a $250 PlayStation 3 or Xbox. Boom your done for under $1000
If you finance, then your looking at spending $3000 for a $1500 computer that can be lost or stolen, some jerk spills a liquid on the keyboard and fries it in seconds.
You still have to pay off the $3000 loan.

  • Hi apple, I have the new ipad with retina display, i have however cracked the screen pretty badly. I was just wondering how much it is to replace this ipad with the same one. It is a 32gig. Thanks

    Hi apple,
    I have the new ipad (4th gen) with retina display. Yesterday I cracked the screen pretty badly. I was just wondering how much it is to replace it with the same ipad. I have the 32gig ipad with wifi.
    Thanks

    The iPad will be $329 AUD if replaced via postage service or $309 AUD if replaced at an Apple Store. Yes they will give you the replacement and take your old iPad so I would suggest if you can back it up to iTunes so that you can restore the back up to the replacement.

  • Hi, I was just wondering how much it would cost to repair the rear camera of my iPhone 4s. I dropped it and it won't work and I hear something rattling inside when I shake it. How much would it cost to fix?

    If you have a tool, try removing the battery cover and chech out. Some times the camera pin may have been misplaced. If so, you can fix it yourself.

    I assume all is rendered at 100% and you Mixed Down (in the Sequence Menu).
    It sounds like it may be one of those quirky things like a key stroke character used in the file name that OSX doesn't like.

  • How old do you have to be to have an apple account

    how old do you have to be to have an apple account, i want to set one up for my daughter on her iphone and it said she is not eligable to have one yet?

    Apple says that the iTunes/MAS accounts are for 13 years of age and older;
    http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#GIFTS
    REQUIREMENTS FOR USE OF THE ITUNES SERVICE
    This iTunes Service is available for individuals aged 13 years or older. If you are 13 or older but under the age of 18, you should review this Agreement with your parent or guardian to make sure that you and your parent or guardian understand it.

  • How old do you have to be, to be an apple developer

    Hi,
    My name is michael, and I had a question I would like to ask the devolper community. I have always dreamed of making apps ever since I was 11, I have taken classes at school, learned online, and even through youtube. I am now 15, and thought that I have the maturity and patience to work on an app. I found out from an apple employee about the $99 devolper program, and wanted to enroll in it. My problem however was how old do I have to be? If anyone could help me, or give me any alternatives, I would really appreciate it.
    Thankyou

    What you have to do is have your parents create a new Apple ID, for you, but in their name. They pay the $99 but you use the account. That is all on the up-and-up as far as Apple is concerned. If you make any money, your parents would still be responsible for taxes, etc.
    However, you can access most of the developer services with a free developer account. The only things you can't do are install software on a mobile device, put something in the app stores, or post your own messages in the developer forums. All of the good beta software will be going live shortly so that is not much of an issue right now.

  • Hi i lost my iphone so was just wondering how do i actually go about using find my iphone

    hi i lost my iphone and was wondering how to use the ap find my iphone i have read all about it and it only sais how tyo download it not actually use it when u hav lost it

    The "Find My iPhone" app is used to locate/track your device. As noted above, having the app on a device does not turn on the service - you have to specifically turn the service within Settings. Without having done that, you can't find your device.

  • HT204053 how old do you have to be to create your own AppleID?

    I am trying to create an Apple ID for my daughters icloud account on her ne phone, but when i try to put in her age and press next, it sends a window telling me you are currently not eligable to set up an Apple ID account.
    Is there an age limit? and if so what are my alternatives?
    I am guessing I can do it under my name, but I want this to be an icloud account for my daughers iPhone, and I want the account under her name. Is this possible because its asking for a birthdate then in next window it wants your first and laet name. Should I put my daughters name here or mine. I want my daughters neme here so when she connects to icloud, it will show her name not mine.
    Please advise.

    They have to be 13. You can let her use your (2nd) account which should be in your name but with any address you want that you have control of. Whether you adhere this is a matter for you to decide.

  • How old do you have to be to open an itunes account?

    I have just bought my son an ipod touch for his 7th birthday.
    I want to create an itunes account for him so all his info stays seperate from my itunes.
    What is the minimum age for creating an itunes account?
    I cant put any apps or music onto his ipod until I have created an account!

    Thanks for your help

    You're welcome. What you can do is make an account in your name, but make sure that he's the only one using it.

  • Hi, just wondering how do i get rid of viruses on my mac pro?! as soon as i go on the internet other windows pops up and the whole screen starts to play up, like it starts to click things that i didn't even click?! help please

    hi i was just wondering how do i get rid of viruses?! Everytime i go on safari my computer goes all weird and starts to pop up with other internet sites without me even typing it in. My arrow also starts to click on all things that i didn't even click on and opens up apps that i didn't want?!

    There are several possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not be applicable.
    1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable.
    2. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check for unknown or forgotten input devices. Disconnect any USB input devices that you aren't using.
    3. Boot in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you reboot as usual, stop here and post your results. If you can't boot in safe mode, do the same. If you booted in safe mode and there was no change, go on to the next step.
    4. Reset the System Management Controller.
    5. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
    6. A swollen battery in a MacBook Pro or Air can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
    7. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and the unit needs to be serviced or replaced.
    8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to  behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
    9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
    10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
    11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.
