Imac G5 2ghz has a cracked plastic casing

Has anyone else had this?
What does Apple have to say?

If your iMac is still under warranty or you have AppleCare, call Apple and tell them, they will replace the bezel.
Do post back and let us know how you made out,

IMac Intel 2GHZ express problem...

I have called apple tech support 5 times, since I have apple care, they always help me out, but basically my problem is that at least once a week, I have to do a hard, factory reset of my airport express station in order for my computer iMac Intel 2ghz, to connect to the internet. I have the fastest internet package for DSL and when it tries to connect to the network, it says " there was an error connecting to __________ " and then when I try to open the airport admin options I scan and scan and scan and no network is found. Then my computer crashes almost 100% of the time. So then I reset the airport and then rename my settings and get everything working, and voila, no problems for about 5 days and then again same problem. I have a G4 PPC on the same network, and it has "NEVER" had any problems with the airport express, my settings are G/N and channel is automatic, no password, no security all default settings except for the name. I just bought this iMac the firmware on the express is up to date, and just to be safe I downloaded the 10.4.10 combo updater, from apples support site and reinstalled it. I ran Tech Tool, on my system as well as cocktail and all is fine with my system. I mentioned to apple that there may be a problem with my airport card in my new computer but they denied it on the phone dismissing it saying it was a software issue not a hardware issue and refused to take my computer back for diagnosing all the while I am training to be an apple technician myself, and this has really got me stumped, I love apple and my iMac but I need my internet working! Please any help would be appreciated!!!

IMac 20" 2Ghz (mid 2007) shuting restarting

Hi, we have a number of IMac 20” 2Ghz (mid 2007), if you touch/tap the imac anywhere it will
just restart, no errors once restarted, tried changing logic board on one but no fix, anyone having
same problem, any solution.

Sounds like either a problem with RAM or it is overheating.
Run the Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode to see if it detects any hardware problems.
1. Reseat and/or replace the RAM modules, as per How to remove or install memory
2. Have the iMac checked and cleaned. If it is full of dust or has a bad fan, it will not cool properly and shut down.

How much does it cost to have Apple replace the plastic casing?

I'm planning to buy an Ex-Display MacBook from my local PCWorld but the casing has a pretty nasty scrape down the edge of the lid. I was wondering if anyone knew how much Apple would charge to replace the plastic casing of the lid? Otherwise the laptop is in perfect new condition!
Many thanks.

Apple will not replace the plastic on the lid. They only replace complete components, which means they would replace the entire screen assembly. Probably bout a $500 repair.

How to connect my new MacBook Air to a LaCie hard disk with TIme Capsule backup from my old Imac? LaCie has USB 2.0, FireWire and eSata ports.

How can I connect my new MacBook Air to a LaCie hard disk with TIme Capsule backup from my old Imac? LaCie has USB 2.0, FireWire and eSata ports.

You can direct connect your MBA to the LaCie via USB 2 cable. If you have an Apple Airport Router you can USB connect the LaCie drive to the router and then use Airport Utility to configure it. Time Machine can access it either way.

If my iPhone 5 has a cracked screen, can I still trade it in for the iPhone 6?

If my iPhone 5 has a cracked screen, can I still trade it in for the iPhone 6?
I know there is the promotion to trade in for a free iPhone 6, but will Verizon take a cracked phone?
I would hope at the least to still get a discount if not a straight up trade.
Appreciate any info if anyone knows.

You can get an appraisal for your phone here https://www.trade-in.vzw.com/home.php5
I think to get the best price towards an iPhone 6 you have to have the appraisal submitted and new phone ordered by tomorrow (9/30/14) You buy the new phone on contract price then they email you a Verizon gift card after they receive your phone and make the final decisions on how much to give you. (Suppose to take 2 weeks after mailing old phone in)

The disk drive in my iMac 8,1 has stopped working, so I now use an LG 8x Slim Portable that works. However, every time I use the LG drive, I lose contact with my Time Machine back-up drive that has to be deleted and reinstalled. Help!

It's not Logic that can't find them, it's your Komplete apps, though if you did exaclty as you say I can see no reason why they can't.
Do you know where the apps installed them in the first place? I chose a non-standard locarion for mine, but I'm sure it installs sounds to your documents folder/native instruments/name of app.
Go into the prefs of each app and choose the library location button on the library tab and point it to the relevant folder in documents/native instruments and see if that works

Have you synced this phone, with iTunes, while the passcode was enabled? If so, plug it in, iTunes running, & hit the Restore button on the Summary Pane. This will also erase the phone.
However, if you have not synced, while the passcode was enabled, you will not be able to do this without first enereting the passcode. If that's the case, try recovery mode:

Intel 20" iMac hard drive has failed, what can I do?

Hello everyone,
My white 20" iMac (late 2006) has just died and I think the hard drive might be irreparable.
Yesterday it wouldn't boot up and froze on the grey screen, however it worked fine from a safe boot. But today it would not boot at all, not even in safe mode. So I booted from the original OSX Tiger discs and ran Disk Utility. I tried to repair the disc permissions but this failed and told me the disc needed repairing so I hit Repair Disk. This also failed, saying the disk could not be repaired and must be erased and to reinstall the OS.
Is there anything I can do to rescue my hard drive? (I backed up about a week ago so I'm ok... ish)
Or will I have to visit an Apple store for a genius to have a go?
Does anyone know what might cause this sort of failure? Is it just substandard parts reaching their retirement age?
Also, does anyone know how much a replacement HD is likely to cost me?
Thanks for any help and suggestions.

I'm afraid that in the end the hard drive was 'too old' as the genius put it.
Is it really too much to ask for a hard drive to last more than four years?
That's on the low end, but not entirely unusual. "Normal" lives seem to vary fairly widely.
Also, I was not at all impressed by the competence of the genius I dealt with. He didn't even know how to boot in safe mode or from an external drive.
Yeah, in my limited experience, they vary, too, but that's rather basic. Must be a newbie.
I am now up and running with two backups in place.
Yay!
Also, I have given the failed hard drive to a friend who will try and recover the last weeks data for me as the Apple genius said he didn't know how to do that either.
That's a specialty Apple doesn't do, at least not in most stores. See [Data Recovery|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/Recover.html]. The services that do it have (expensive) specialized hardware and software.
Needless to say I am not happy with Apple's hardware or customer care.
I'd agree about the "Genius," but not necessarily the life of the drive.

My iMac G5 iSight has died. New iMac on order.

My 5+ year old 20" iMac G5 iSight has died after a recent 3 hour power outage. I have nothing. It has acted a little stubborn with some restarts recently and I waited a little too long to replace. I tore it down and replaced the PRAM battery but no luck, I am thinking it is a power supply issue. I have a new iMac on order which should arrive next week. I also should have a good Time Capsule backup.
I would like to remove the hard drive and put it an external firewire enclosure, reboot from that and restore my data and applications. Will be going from a PPC iMac to an Intel. Is this a valid option? My main concern is my Quicken data and program. I have been running Quicken 2006 and don't really want to upgrade from the reviews I have read. Don't have the install disk for Quicken 2006 anymore.
Thanks in advance!
Jim

Removing the drive is an excellent idea, you should be able to mount your firewire external and use it on your new machine.
I'm not sure if you will be able to reboot from the FireWire external, it depends on the damage done by the hard shutdown (get yourself a USP, I use APC models, they're very good and have saved me many a time, I live in the country and the power is always going off), but it's likely that you can.
Please post back with results,

I'm not able to install windows 7 in my imac 21' which has the latest OSX 10.9 It keeps saying that I need a 64bit version of win7 which i actually have but it doesn't seems to be recognize as one.

Can someone help me out?
Thank you

To my knowledge there are no official MS Windows DVDs that contain both the 32 and 64 bit versions. There is a way to make a USB thumb drive that has both bit version on it but AFAIK this can't be done on a DVD disc even with a Dual Layer DVD disc.
For the Windows installer to function, actually boot the system to the install routine, certain files have to be on a certain area of the DVD disc. If by chance you really do have a DVD disc that contains both bit versions your Mac is only seeing the 32bit version on that disc.
You'll need to get a Real MS DVD of just the 64bit version or download the 64bit version ISO from My Digital Life and burn it to a DVD disc.

So you're saying there is no solution for this?
Thank you so much for your response.

HT1937 Where can I get my phone screen replaced, it has a crack in it.

Where can I get a repair on my iphone, it has a crack on the screen.

Apple does not repair devices, they replace them.
For $199 Out of Warranty you can get the device replaced.
Or you can find a local repair shop to replace the screen, likely cheaper... Warranty does not cover user damage, which is what caused the screen to crack. The warranty will definitely be void if you get it repaired anywhere other than Apple.

Will apple replace that cracked screen screen with a new one?

Sorry, accident is not covered by the warranty.

Sorry to hear that. The price differs based on the model. I would call Apple 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). It could range from $300-$600. I hope this answered your question.
