Is Apple offering trade-in of PB-17 G4 with MacBook Pro 17?
My PB-17 G4 is 4 months old, wonder if any of you may know if there's such a trade-in program from Apple.
I'm afraid not. Your best bet is to sell it locally and push the 'last G4 PowerBook' angle. You'd be surprised at the resistance to the new Intel machines, and a lot of people will want G4 PowerBooks once Apple stops shipping them. The same happened when Apple stopped supporting Classic - suddenly the last machines to support Classic were in demand.

Where can I buy a genuine apple replacement battery (A1309) for my Mid 2010 17" Macbook Pro?
Where can I buy a genuine apple replacement battery (A1309) for my Mid 2010 17" Macbook Pro? There are used batteries on ebay that don't appear genuine. There are some third-party knock offs. The apple store seems to believe they can replace it, but I have to make a reservation at the silly Genius Bar just to have them tell me how much it's gonna cost, not to mention then likely wait for them to order the battery and install it. I'm perfectly capable of installing it myself. I just need to know where I can order it?
Thanks,
AndrewYeah, that's what I've finally decided. I was kidna super frustrated because the first apple store I called wouldn't even tell me a price or tell me if they could replace the battery without a Genius Bar appointment, and as I would have to take off work and drive acros town--and I don't have a car so I'd have to borrow one--that was pretty annoying. That call left me pricing linux laptops. I called another store to see if I'd have better luck, and the initial answer was the same, but the girl relented under some trying-to-be-nice-but-clearly-annoyed pressure, and she gave me the answers I needed: yes, they should have the battery in stock and it should be a same-day replacement that should cost $179.
It just *****, really, because there's so much about Apple that I used to love, and I'm watching it kinda melt away under their success in the mobile market. As a professional user, there's less and less reason to stick with them. Instead of being the best they can be, I feel like they're just trying to be flashier and just a little better than the other mediocre computer companies. Ugh. Anyway, now I'm ranting.

Can't access the "Apple" icon in upper main menu to shutdown my MacBook Pro running 10.6.8! Also can't open a new finder window and main menus such as File and Edit are sluggish to open or don't open at all. Doesn't happen each time I attempt to shutdowCan't
There are some keyboard commands (shortcuts) you can use instead of having to go to the Apple menu -
Control-Eject This brings up the Restart-Sleep-Cancel-Shutdown window.
Command-Option-Eject This puts the machine to sleep.
Command-Control-Eject This closes all apps and restarts the machine.

I am trying to transfer my itunes songs that were purchased using a previous apple id and windows pc ( I now have a macbook pro). When I try and download the itunes files, a message appears telling me that 7 songs purchased under the old apple id cannot be added to itunes on my macbook( the rest are added ok). I know the previous apple id, but have forgotten the password. When I try and retrieve the password using the security questions, I am asked for my birthdate. When I enter my birthdate, I am told this information is incorrect! Thats as far as i can go!
How can I update my apple id( and remove any old ones) if I can't retrieve the old password?You need a third-party program lke one of those discussed here:

Sorry, I don't quite understand your question. Amongst other things that's exactly what the Apple TV does, is streaming video from a computer.

Hello chrispyw,
If your content is still being displayed incorrectly, I would check the resolution setting for the built in display with this article:
OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
If it keeps happening whenever you use AirPlay then I would use this section of the following article to reset the display system:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,

Why did Apple get rid of the DVD slot in the MacBook Pro
Why did Apple get rid of the DVD slot in the MacBook Pro?
Because relatively few people used it and Apple wanted to decrease the size/price of the computers.

How do I upgrade (via Apple) SSD (to 500 GB or 1 TB) on Macbook Pro Retina 13-inch, Late 2012
How do I upgrade (via Apple) SSD (to 500 GB or 1 TB) on Macbook Pro Retina 13-inch, Late 2012.
I want to know how much Apple will charge for this (if they even do this since I don't see it on their website).Apple does not upgrade parts of a machine - they'll have it repaired under warranty, but no upgrades. You can, however, take it to an authorized service provider; no idea how much they would charge.
You can also do this yourself - here is an installation video:

I bought one of their SSDs and installed it in my 2012 MBP (not retina) - very easy to do. If you want to go this way, post back for instructions on how to clone your current drive which will make things super easy. -
Does the Apple remote control work with MacBook Pro with retina? If yes, how can I sync it?

Thanks!It should. First, turn on BlueTooth on the computer. In BT preferences be sure to check the option to look for all devices. Your remote should be picked up and a notice asking if you want to Pair it with the computer. Select Yes. Once it is paired it can be used to control your computer.

You need to upgrade your OS. It's your responsibility to verify if your equipment meets the system requirements, not the Apple Store.

I purchased the Microsoft Office last September at an Apple Store. I recently had to bring my MacBook Pro back to the store because of some issues. Reboot caused me to lose Office and I no longer have the passcode. Where can I find my duplicate code? I no longer have the receipt so I can not call the business to find my duplicate code. Looking back at my bank statements, this purchase was quite spendy so I hope I will not have to purchase it again if possible! Any advice would be great!
It should be on a stickerthat says product key on the inner sleeve inside the bos which the disc comes in.
