Hi Clinton,
I'm aware its one unit and needs to all be replaced, but my issue is that I didnt know the computer would be similar to the macair late 2010 where an entire board needed replacing.  I never would have bought it.
Never would have bought what? The Mac when it was new?

What care policy are you referring to? AppleCare?  Also, how did the trackpad get damaged?

  • HT4799 Why I cannot watch movies from Love film on my apple tv? The app is on my iPad and when I switch the movie from iPad to AppleTv only sound is on my TV screen.

    Why I cannot watch movies from Love film on my apple tv? The app is on my iPad and when I switch the movie from iPad to AppleTv only sound is on my TV screen and no picture.

    Many online media providers block this - Sky and Amazon Prime do too I believe.
    I would have to assume that the app providers cannot offer video Airplay for contractual reasons with the movie studios though it may just be they don;t want to enable their apps to do so.
    It's not Apple preventing this, while you could see it would be in Apple's interest to push people to the iTunes store for media it could also drive people away.

  • Why everything i try to do on itunes it says item not avilable the item you requested is not currently avilable in the U.S. store

    every time i click on itunes store or library or anything i choose to click on it says item not avilable the item you requested is currently not avilable in the u.s store but i did not request anything but to open itunesstore or check my library out im so frustrated

    Similar experience here but finally succeeded! Here's the summary
    Decided to (finally) update MacBook from SL 10.6.8 to Lion (it can't run ML or Mavericks) so this week purchased from UK Apple store. Received redemption code from Apple via email after couple of days and successfully redeemed this in Apps Store.
    Under Purchases in Apps Store clicked on "download" and nothing happened! Clicking on the app name "OS X Lion" gave the message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the UK Store". Contacted support but got no useful help there.....
    Following day went back to Apps Store and tried again clicking Download - still nothing (apparently - see below) so started thinking upgrade unlikely and £14 wasted.
    A little later noticed new icon in Dock and investigating it said downloading Lion - checked Activity Monitor and indeed my internet connection was being hammered. At a little over 4Gb got an error message saying download could not complete (needless to say not happy) and download icon disappeared!!
    So with nothing to lose reclicked Download in Apps Store and again no obvious activity and this time no new download icon in Dock - decided to check Activity Monitor again (just in case) and again high level of download activity! Maybe, just maybe, I thought and after about 90 minutes the Lion install screen appeared!
    Have now backed up the Installer and successfully installed 10.7.4
    I can't offer any explanation why it finally worked - Apps Store still shows "Download" not "Installed" as I would expect and the item is "..still not available.."!

  • HT1539 Why do I only get the SD copy of a digital download when I bought the blu-ray HD film?

    Just bought the 3D Blu-ray version of Prometheus and was pleased to see it came with a digital copy, however on redemption in the iTunes store it only downloads the SD version. Is this standard practice? Why don't they give you the HD version of the film if you buy the blu-ray HD version?!

    When I put my redemption code in, I immediately got three downloads: HD 1080p, SD and iTunes Extras.
    Is your device compatible with HD (because if not it will default to the SD version)?
    If so, have you selected a preferred HD format in both the Playback and Store tabs in iTunes Preferences?
    If you visit the Prometheus product page in the iTunes store, do you have the option to purchase a HD version? If there is, it should say "(Downloading [format])", where [format] is what you have selected in Preferences.
    See here for more information.
    If your computer ticks all the boxes, I suggest sending Apple a support ticket.

  • Why am i forced to buy in a certain Itunes store?

    Currently i am linked with the german itunes store which unfortunately doesn't feature a certain album song. The UK store offers this album/song though.
    Trying to buy it i am being rejected telling me that my ID is not authorized for the UK store. Why can't i buy what ever music i want? It is digital and will pay for the song anyway.
    So why do i need to wait until a local store manager sees my country fit for a certain release?

    Unless you can show some form of residency you cannot buy from another country's store. The question on cross store purchasing is asked frequently so I'll just quote the most complete answer (courtesy of Dave Sawyer) from the many given:
    In order to buy from any given country's iTunes Music Store, you must have either:
    a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
    b) a mailing address in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
    If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
    .......this is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice. And this also applies to all the legal download stores that carry major-label content, not just the iTMS.

  • Why do email hyperlinks open a new ff browser, but will not open the link?

    '''''''''XPSP3 & FF3.6 & Outlook2003''''''''' : When I click on a hyperlink in outlook, a fresh occurence of ff opens (even though ff is already open) but the link will not open. This used to work before I upgraded to ff4.0, so I rolled back to 3.6 and still have the same problem. All the file type suggestions have been executed, but still no success. Can anyone offer any help?

    The '''SearchToolbar/1.2''' that messed with your UserAgent might be the cause of that problem. Try some troubleshooting.
    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • Why does it keep telling me that my security settings will not let the Adobe Reader download when I have them turned off?

    I try to update the Adobe Reader and it will not let me.  I have turned the Norton Security off and it still tells me that my security settings will not allow it to download.  What can I do?

    There's a little box that comes up on my computer after I try to update the Adobe Reader.  It says:  "Your current security settings will not allow this to download".  So I went into my Norton Security and disabled the antivirus program.  I don't even know if that was the "settings" that the message on my computer was meaning.  But what has happened is when I try to use the Adobe Reader XI that is on my computer, a little box comes up on my screen that says "Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded" and I'm unable to get Adobe to work.

  • We have mac os X 10.5.8 we tried to upgrade with the new firefox 4. it removed our old firefox and replaced it with firefox 4. Now we get a message that our system does not support the new firefox. All our bookmarks settings are gone. Please advise.

    Hi everyone,
    Many of you have had problems with Spotify for Mac OS X 10.5. We no longer support Spotify on this operating system which we announced back in November here as a "heads up".
    However, we've noticed that many folks have been updating regardless which should not be the case. Our intention was to let anyone using Mac OS X10.5 continue using a "legacy" version of Spotify. In any case, the folks who were using 10.5 were updated, and in many cases these customers have experienced crashes with the newest version of the application (Spotify version 0.8.8. at the time of writing).
    To make a long story short, we messed up in updating folks who should not have been updated and we're sorry. We plan on fixing the problem of Spotify updating to the latest version for Mac OSX 10.5 users and we're working on it as I write this. If you're a person who has already upgraded and the application is crashing, we're looking into a solution and we hope to have an update shortly.
    Warm regards from your humble community manager,
    Rorey 

  • Why does my antivirus software BitDefender 2011 say that Firefox will not allow the anti phicshing tool to be enabled?

    When installing Bitdefender 2011, updated from 2010 version a message was received to say that the most recent version of Firefox does not allow the anti phisching tool to be installed. I am concerned that this leaves me open to attack. I use Firefox because I believed that it was more secure than Internet explorer but am now not sure. Please advise.

    Firefox '''''comes with''''' Phishing protection as a standard feature. <br />

  • Why is my iphone locked to a single network when i bought the iphone new from apple

    I want to change network on pay as you go but when I change the sim it is asking for activation & to contact my network provider?
    I dont understand as I bought my iphone 4s new sim free.

    Apple does not sell unlocked phones in all countries. In many countries, Apple sells both locked and unlocked phones.
    Does your reciept state that the phone is "unlocked"?
    What is the exact error message you are getting?
    Where exactly did you purchase the phone?

  • HT5622 When I sign in with my apple ID and password then goto password and security, i do not get the option to reset my security information. Why not?

    I do not have the option to change my security information when I sign in to my Apple ID and goto Password and security. Why not?

    Just to be clear - what are you signing into?  You could be talking about connecting or setting a computer or device to your icloud or itunes account.  You could be talking about logging into your icloud account using a browser to icloud.com.  Or you may have followed a link to an Apple page that lets you edit your account.
    If you can't remember your security questions/answers then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox) - but some recent posts are saying that Apple have temporarily suspended the reseting of security question/answers whilst account security processes are improved, so it may take longer.

  • Why does the "mute" button not "mute" the new iPad?

    Hi,
    the problem drives us crazy.
    We bought the new iPad on launch Day and every other App (like Hotel Dash) does play Sounds even though the iPad is muted. Really anoying are "between Level" Ads or "pause Ads" (like in Wedding Dash, Lost Luxuries) which started playing while my wife was in the Subway.
    The mute Button should turn the iPad to mute without exceptions. How can we fix it? Or do we have to return the new iPad?
    Regards
    Tim

    Thanks for your Reply. The Problem is, we are not listing to Music or watching an Movie - we are using an App, which plays Advertisement.
    Game Sounds do not play at all, but the Advertisement is playing at full Volume. This should not happen.
    Ok it is "not a bug it's a feature" or just abuse by App Developers, which i have no controll over? I have to use the volume rocker all the time? Why put a "mute" button on an iPad?
    As you were told, the mute button mutes system sounds.  Other sounds are muted via the rocker.  That's the way it is.

  • HT3275 My iMac harddrive only has about 100 gb of use on it. But my backup disk has over 300 gb used up on it. Why would this be?

    My iMac hard drive only has about 100 gb of use on it. But my backup disk has over 300 gb of usage on it. For instance, my iphoto library shows about 13 gb of photos but the backup disc shows almost 20 gb of photos in the iphoto library. Why would this be?

    Because you are using Time Machine which is an archiving backup utility. Any change that is made to a file will cause another fully copy of the file to be backed up. Over time a Time Machine backup will take up an entire hard drive no matter how large the drive may be.

    If this is an original battery, even with a low cycle count, it is old and probably should be replaced.
