Is the back of the 2011 MBA 13" the same as the 2012?

Is the back(bottom) of the 2011 MBA 13" the same as the 2012? i mean, is it possible to use one in the place of the other?
The thing is i'm not from US and i don't have a very good support, so asked a friend who is in US to buy a new back for my MBA, which is the 2011 model, but the one he bought is for the 2012, they look pretty much the same, but i don't know, just want to be sure...

I know a lot of people with iphone 5 and have never heard them complain about top button always brake and screen that decides to pop off or the back of their case is bending.
That sounds like a phone that has been dropped a numerous times.

Hi Friends... I'm trying to delete a back-up file on mu TC but I get the message "The operation could not be completed because the item "bands" is in use. I'd like to start the Back from scratch, could help me out with deleting the current file?

Sorry, I am very confused. I asked the following question....
Is this the only backup file on your Mac, or do you have other backup files and data on the Time Capsule disk?
The answer that you gave was....
This is the only one
Now you are saying that....
But I have lots of other files on Time Capsule! The back up file is only one of them.
Can you clarify, please?

How do I access my encrypted User Account files from my Back Up hard drive? Time Machine was used to create the back up disk; File Vault was used to encrypt the files.

Thanks. I will try going through TM. Since my Simpletech is on the way out, I'll be plugging in a new external hard drive (other than the back-up drive) and trying to restore the library to the new drive. Any advice or warning if this is NOT the right thing to do?
Meanwhile, that is a great tip to do an alternate back-up using a different means. It's been tough to figure out how to "preserve access" to digital images and files for posterity, knowing the hardware will always fail/obsolesce sooner or later, and that "clouds" are only as good as their consistent and reliable accessibility. Upping the odds with redundancy will help dull the edge of my "access anxiety", though logically, it can never relieve it. Will look into

Why wont the SSD from my 2011 MBP work right away in my 2012 MBP?

I have a 2011 MBP running a Samsung SSD 470 without a problem.
I swapped the SSD into my new 2012 MBP which is, apart from the yearly updates (2.3 i5 to 2.5 i5 processor and RAM speed increase from 1333 to 1600) exactly the same computer. I expected to literally carry on using it from where I left off in the 2011 model but the 2012 machine will not boot with this drive in it.
Why?

actually i own a late 2011 Macbook Pro and I bought my niece a new 2012 Macbook Pro....
gave her one of my old Kingston V200 128GB SSD to give her speed....
It booted but kept on crashing and the startup is very slow...So i did an internet recovery install....And now it's working great...
came to a conclusion ( i may be wrong ) - because my 2011 is a Sandy Bridge Processor/Chipset combo and the 2012 is the new Ivy Bridge Processor/Chipset combo was the issue...After a clean install, everything was fine...
I understand you're hesitant about doing a clean install because you don't have it backed up....
Try booting with the original drive to see if your sata cable is fine just to eliminate your sata cable as defective...

The back, forward, reload and stop buttons are greyed out, the address bar stays blank when I go to a website and firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. There are 3 users on this computer and it only happens on one user.

Firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. When I click on the home button it takes me to the home page. The back, forward, refresh and stop buttons are greyed out and not usable. The webpage I am on does not show up in the address bar. If I type something into the address bar, that address stays there no matter what page I go to next.

Just upgraded to v4. It did NOT fix the problem.

If i want to replace the back case for an iphone 3g and i provide the back case, will Apple do the actual replacement for me?

The black back case on my iphone 3g is cracked. i would like to replace the back case with a new white one. I saw the video on how to do the replacement on youtube and found it complicated. if i take the new back case and the phone to Apple, will the replace the broken back case for me?

Regarding the iPhone 3G, the only repair that Apple Genius does on that device is the Front Screen Replacement. So they could help you get the front assembly back on when you are done with the repair. To give you a better idea, the Genius do not even replace the battery on the iPhone 3G. Apple will not help you with this repair.

Sorry folks, I did something bad, I was looking how to save my current iphoto library to my external drive and I hit a wrong button, lost my current iphoto and now have only the backed up version from 2007, Woops I never was the quick witted one... PLEASE

I switched my current iphoto library out for the saved one on my external drive by mistake. It said, Switch Libraries.... Do you want to switch the current iphoto library from AAA iphoto library (what I called the old one I guess - in my OWC) toOWC Mercury on-the-go and relaunch iphoto? cancel or relaunch
Sorry, I was looking for a way to save my current iphoto images to my hard drive. Yeah, I guess just drag something over right? Anyway, now I cannot retrieve my last 2 or 3 years of photos, Can You HELP me?
Mac os X version 10.6.8
2.66 GHz Intel core 2 Duo
etc

Depress the option key and launch iPhoto = use teh select library option and select the correct one
yes to move your library to an external drive
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

I have a net gear wireless router and a APE working great inside the house, but the wireless signal is weak in the backyard, can I get a net gear extender for the back and it will also send my music to the airport express?

Ireless signal and also send my music to the airport express? Or does the airport express work as a stand alone hub?

Trust me when I say this coming from 20 years of experience.
Get a powered external drive, format it 1 Partition Option: GUID and OS X Extended Journed as the format in Disk Utility.
Download and install Carbon Copy Cloner, clone internal drive to external drive.
Set a schedule to remind you to do it at least once a week, keep it near your charger.
When you plug your charger in, do plug the clone and power the machine up, set the display to sleep only,
CCC will do the rest.
If you want to boot from it, hold the option/alt and select it Startup Manager.
I've seen many TimeMachine and TimeCapsule nightmares and so far haven't seen a problem from anyone using a bootable clone.
It's simple, it's easy, it's more reliable and more powerful than what Apple does and it only takes plugging in a extra cable.
Make as many clones as you want, keep them time seperated, off site etc. etc.
Cables don't have network issues, clones can be verified in seconds merely by booting from them.
Clones protect your productivity, your up in seconds on a clone despite even the hard drive dying.
Software problem? No sweat, boot of the clone and reverse clone your problems away.
If you want to fuss and muss with half implemented TimeMachine and TimeCapsule network headaches then prepare to suffer.
I don't like to suffer, I bought a Mac not to suffer, but it appears you do with TimeMachine and TimeCapsule.

The back button is disabled even though I clearly visted the link through Google

When I search for something in Google, and find a particular link interesting, I view it. But when I want to go back to my search list, it seems like the back button is disabled and it won't allow me to go back. This is obviously painful, if I am searching for a variety of things. The back button works perfectly sometimes but others it just doesn't. Can anyone explain this odd behavior?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons (McAfee SiteAdvisor) is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

HT1386 When I try to skip the backing up portion of syncing my iPhone by pressing the X option, nothing happens. I've been trying to let iTunes back up my phone for over an hour and nothing's happening

How can I skip the backing up? I just want to add more music to my phone and it's been backing up for far too long

Nevermind, I solved the problem. FCPX isn't showing me that it's rendering or whatever it's doing, but after about ten minutes the files show up. Still, any idea why it gives no indication that it's working?

Changes to the Back-end....Bringing it on to the Front-end

Hello All,
I would like to know the means of reflecting the changes made to the back-end tables on to the front end. Say we've a departments table and an ADF UIX page displaying the data from it in the front-end... we make certain modifications to the back-end table.. Now how do I bring it on to the already existing front-end UIX page. Could anyone give me a solution for this. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Arun.V

Hi,
If you have navigated to the employees from selected department (ie, all the employees on the page are from the same department) then you can just drag the department name onto the page to create the bindings and display the department name.
If you are going direct to empoyees in a read only table an easy solution is to create a business component based on a database view that joins the two tables and presents the employee details and the department name.
create or replace view emp_dept as
select e.emp_id,
       e.emp_name,
       d.dept_id,
       d.dept_name
from emp e,
     dept d
where e.dept_id = d.dept_id; If you want to edit an employee then create a view link to a ViewObject which represents just employees using the employee id. On the single record edit page use a message choice to translate the department id into the department name.

I have a macbook pro 2010, And my display will show up as blue until i tap the back of it excessively. I dont know what the problem is. Any ideas?

Is this a fixable problem that wont cost more than the computer is worth?

It may be a faulty display connection cable. Only an Apple store genius bar will be able to definitively diagnose the issue and provide you with the actual repair costs.
Ciao.
If it is the cable, that should be relatively inexpensive. If it is the display, that will not be inexpensive.

Just updated to 10.7.2 and the fan on my 2011 mba wont stop running.

I updated my 2011 Macbook Air to 10.7.2, and now the machine is really hot and the fan won't stop running. Any idea how I can make this stop?

There is likely a program or process that is taking up most of the CPU. If you open Activity Monitor and sort by the % CPU column that will tell you which process it is. If its a program that don't need then you can simple quit it. If its something you don't recognize or something that you need to have running then report back and then the next course of action can be figured out.
I had this problem with the Dock. Deleting the dock preference file then restarting the Dock process addressed it. Your situation may be different.

I get a "Unable to process the back up file" error message when trying to restore the bookmarks I lost when I follwed the prompts to Reset Firefox settings.

I followed the prompts over the weekend to reset my Firefox settings, reassured by the message that said it would save my bookmarks, and now they appear lost. I followed the steps of your help articles and got the error message above. Help!

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
