If you bought a Macbook with Superdrive...

Can you please post the make and model number of the superdrive? It's listed in the System Profiler. BTW, the combo drive is a Matshita CW-8122. I ask because I want to know if it's a superslim drive or if I can fit a Pioneer DVR-K06 DL drive(which I have lying around the house). It works with the Mac Mini, but I don't know if the new enclosures on the macbook are too slim. Looks like the Macbook Pro uses the superslim drives.

Hi Daniel,
I am pretty sure that the MacBooks SuperDrive is the same as the drive in the MacBook Pro 15". I may be mistaken, but the SuperDrives in the MacBook Pro as slimmer then in the other Apple computers with a slot-loading drive. My opinion would be No, it wouldn't fit in.
The Pioneer DVR-8122 is a 12mm SuperDrive where the MacBook Pro uses 9.5mm

  • HT3423 How do I find my original serial number if I bought my macbook with logic already installed?

    I recently bought a new macbook. Previously I had been using my c.2008 macbook which I bought with Logic express installed. Since then I upgraded to Logic 9. I've restored my new macbook with my time machine. When I open logic it wants the serial number. I put in the upgrade number but it then asks for the original logic serial number. As I bought my mac with it already installed I don't know it. What can I do?

    Apple does not pre-install Logic before delivery so either you purchased the laptop used from an individual or a store installed if for you. In either case, you should have received ALL the paperwork and install disks. The serial number for Express is in the paperwork. If you did not get that material, you were running a pirated copy.
    If this does not describe your situation, you should call Apple Care and plead your case.

  • Connect macbook without superdrive to a macbook with superdrive

    I have an iDVD project on an older macbook without a superdrive. The iDVD project is complete, but I can't burn the dvd. I also have a newer macbook with a superdrive. Is there a way to connect the 2 computers together so that I can use the super drive from the other computer to burn the iDVD project?
    Thanks

    Ok, Thanks for the reply. But when I was looking up the requirements/instructions for remote disc. It says that remote disc cannot be used to burn a cd or dvd. Is this correct or is there another way?
    Thanks again.
    from apple's support site:
    DVD or CD sharing: Using Remote Disc
    Note: These types of discs or activities are not supported by DVD or CD sharing:
    DVD movies.
    Audio CDs.
    Copy protected discs such as game discs.
    Install discs for an operating system such as Microsoft Windows (for use with Boot Camp), or Mac OS X.
    Burn a CD or DVD

  • Have you exchanged a MacBook with dead pixels?

    Everything was going smooth with my MacBook - too smooth...
    My MacBook is developing dead pixels. I've had it for about 18 days and initially the display was perfect but now it seems that fabled mythical beast, the dead pixel monster, is eating my pixels.
    Does anyone know what the official policy is for dead bright pixels? Has anyone actually exchanged a MacBook with dead pixels? If you did get yours exchanged how many dead pixels did it have?
    Do you think I am better off to keep the MacBook for a while (wait untill the supply catches up a bit) and then return it - or do I need to deal with the issue within the first 30 days?

    things were going smooth with my machine until the screen went black. not a doubt in my mind that the inverter was faulty. so that's a mfg. defect right.
    the problem is that apple (like so many companies these days) does not want you bringing a dead/faulty product into their store to just "swap it out."
    they're going to want you to send it in and all that fun stuff. normally i wouldn't care so much, but i'm now waiting on a technician to call me back and tell me what to do with the machine - and i'm traveling on friday. mbpro was supposed to be coming with me as it's loaded with all my work for a project. grrrrrr.

  • Can you purchase a Macbook with upgrades in an apple retail store?

    Hey guys, sorry but it just wouldn't show up in google..
    I'm planning to make the big switch from windows to mac soon and I was planning to purchase the top-spec 15 inch Macbook Pro Retina.
    I am planning to get the 1TB flash storage upgrade and I was wondering if I could purchase the Macbook with the 1TB upgrade in a retail store.
    Do Apple Retail Stores provide top spec 15-inch Macbook Pro Retinas with upgrades in retail stores?

    Would you know if there are any in Tokyo, Japan?
    I'm going there tomorrow and I really can't wait to change my laptop. I was hoping to be able to purchase it there. It's just that it's going to be my first time
    there and I don't know if they would have it available for me
    This helped a lot tho, thank you!

  • Bought refurb MBP with Superdrive set to region 6. What to do?

    Hi everyone,
    I bought a refurbished Macbook Pro and found out that instead of the drive having no region set and 5 changes left, it's set to region 6 and there are 4 changes left. Having set it for region 1 left it with 3 changes remaining.
    I thought Apple would have reset the Superdrive...

    It was probably an oversight. Take it back to the Apple Store and have them replace the drive.  They may just replace the computer for you.  Anyways, it is covered by the Warranty.

  • HT1206 How do you authorize a macbook with two different Apple IDs?

    I am having a little problem right now. My fiance and I both have our own accounts; he got one made by his brother and used it sometimes to buy apps and eventually he started using mines to make purchases because for a while we forgot his Apple ID log in info. My questions right now is can I authorize the one computer that we share right now under two different Apple Ids so that he can get both profiles' contents loaded onto my computer and sync them to his ipod? Just wondering because we don't have wifi and want to get all of our apps, music, etc from both accounts onto our new ipod. I managed to download all of his apps from his Apple ID onto my macbook but I tried to sync them to our new ipod and it said that we had to authorize the computer under his Apple ID and I tried it and it wouldn't allow me to do it it said to wait 90 days before I can do this because it is already associated with my Apple ID. I deauthorized my macbook under my Apple ID and tried to authorize it under my fiance's and it said the same thing. And now Idk what to do:( Can someone help me and tell me what options are available for me? Can I reach itunes support and have them merge our accounts or enable me to have 2 accounts authorized on my macbook that we share or can I find a wifi connection and be able to download all of his content from his Apple ID account from itunes purchased on the ipod touch? Please help me out I would hate to have to buy all of the stuff on his Apple ID account all over again I spent so much money on his account in the past and I don't want him to be upset either:( 

    OMG I am so ecstatic and happy right now like literally jumping and crying with joy! Lol I fixed the problem and authorized both accounts onto my one macbook (that my fiance share) by clicking on one of my fiance's apps and it instructed me to authorize the apps for updates and what not on this computer and I just chanced it and logged into his account and both of all of our apps are on our ipod touch now:D I think we can even get his music back too. I looked at his authorized computer info and it says that he has one computer authorized with his account (the one we are now using) so it worked. Share with others who are in similar situations and warn them to log into their Apple ID Itunes accounts and download past purchased APPS on all the accounts they have before authorizing one of their itunes accounts on a new or different computer and once you have one authorized you'll already have the apps from your other accounts and you can authorize all the other accounts (the underground way) by clicking on the apps associated with each account and authorizing by signing in for authorization(authorizing one app will do them all). The Menu > Store > Authorize This Computer way didn't work for me just the *double click on app associated with the other account not authorized on my computer* and authorizing it that way worked for me. The way that I got all of my fiances apps on our computer first was by just logging in and looking at Purchased on itunes store and clicking download all for all apps. Then after I did his I did all apps on mines and then music and authorized my computer under my itunes account because downloading Purchased music required it and then finally going back and double clicking the apps from the other account and authorizing it that way it is much more simpler that the Menu>Store> Authorize this Computer.
    After I tried that double clicking on apps and authorization by signing in I expected it not to work because the Menu>Store>Authorize way didn't work for me it kept saying "this computer is already authorized under a different Apple ID" and try again in 90 days. The method and steps I provided should allow you to beat around that obstacle and get your apps from all associated accounts.
    Thank me later and good luck to all of you I hope that it will work for you just as it had for me today:D

  • READ THIS IF YOU BOUGHT INVISIBLE SHIELD WITH FREE SHIPPING!

    I want to order an invisible shield with free shipping. about how long did it take to get to your location?

    I don't think so cause i don't got a tracking number, a code or anything like that. I just got my order number from invisibleSHIELD but that's useless. I think i should start saying goodbye to my $30. Shipping by Miami Express i'll end spending more than what i paid for the invisibleSHIELD. Right now the only thing i can do is hope that someday it will arrive.

  • I just bought a Macbook Air and a usb super dive.  How do I install MS Office 2003 on it?  It won't launch the install when I load the disk in the superdrive.

    I just bought a Macbook Air and a usb super dive.  How do I install MS Office 2003 on it?  It won't launch the install when I load the disk in the superdrive.

    A 2003 MS office sounds like a Windows version.  A 2004 MS Office that was Mac compatible can not be run natively on a new MBA since the Lions do not run PPC applications.  You will have to get a newer edition of MS Office that is compatible with your new MBA.
    Ciao.

  • I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account?

    I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account i set up my mac?

    On your phone, Go to "Settings", "iCloud", scroll to the bottom and "sign out."  Assuming you have the the account password/security info of the current account, it will delete everything iCloud related upon your approval (don't worry, everything will remain in the cloud.)  Once signed out, in the same settings location (under "Settings", "iCloud") sign in using your Apple ID and Password.
    Hope this helps.

  • I bought a macbook pro with Mountain Lion installed.  Can I install a copy of mountain lion on my other mac for free?

    I bought a Macbook pro with Mountain Lion. Can I install Mountain Lion on my other mac for free? How do I do that? Thanks!

    On the bright side, it's only $20.
    And I would certainly like to have the ownership (and even a copy of the installer on my archive drive), "just in case."
    Here are some questions -- which I cannot test because it's not my situation:
    Has anyone acquired a pre-owned Mac with Mountain Lion installed but which shipped with an earlier OS version? For those in that circumstance:
    Have you been able to apply Mountain Lion update(s)?
    How about reinstall ML with Recovery HD?
    After either updating or reinstalling, does ML appear in Purchases in App Store?
    Just curious.

  • Can you face time with your ipod and macbook with the same apple id?

    I am going to England soon and plan on taking my ipod and leaving my macbook home so I can face time with my family. Is this possible to do if my macbook and ipod are both using my apple id?

    Having spent approximately £1500/US2000 on their flag products it is bit damaging for such a leading and reputable company on market to ask for even more money...
    It's an OPTIONAL extra. If you want it, you pay - just like everything else in life.
    If you bought a laptop from Dell, HP or whoever and you decided you wanted extra RAM, above what comes included, would you expect to get that for free too, just because you spent $2000 on the laptop?
    If you bought a car and decided you wanted the optional sun roof, would you expect to get that for free because the car cost $30,000?
    If you bought a pizza from Domino's and decided you wanted some extra toppings above what comes as standard, would you expect those for free too?
    Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft SkyDrive, SugarSync etc. all provide a certain amount of storage space for free as standard but if you want more, you pay.
    If you had decided to switch to an Android tablet rather than an iPad, Google would also give you a limited amount of cloud storage space for free, but if you need more, you pay. You think Google or Microsoft give away extra storage space for free?
    Your expectations are completely unrealistic and out of touch with what is the 'norm' on this planet. Quite ridiculous.

  • Macbook bought in France with a international english keyboard problem

    Hi,
    My friend bought a macbook for france apple online store, he choosed a international english keyboard layout, but when he got it, he found that the keyboard is neither english laybout nor french layout, because there is not any configurations that matches his physical keyboard buttons.
    The A - Z buttons is as the US keyboard, but the ;'~`[](){}/?! etc. are not correct, that means when u choose the US layout from the system preference->international, the A - Z work, but the ;'~`[](){}/?! are not at where u see them, when u choose FR layout, A - Z are not correct, british english doesn't work, too.
    I have tried all the english countries and french countries, but no one works with 100% of the buttons.
    Can Apple give me a solution to the problem? or if the macbook that he got is not well assembled?

    Yes… I would at a minimum contact Apple sales or AppleCare regarding this. You have two options though. You can ask for a new one, given they can't simply swap out a keybaord you need to exchange the whole thing.
    Otherwise, you can use it as a bargaining chip and say ask for a free external International English keyboard and a discount on your next Apple Store purchase… for instance.
    Regardless, be polite yet firm with them as you did not get what you ordered.
