Just got a new battery...now what?
so I just got a new battery today from Apple for my Mac Book Pro. Do I need to do anything to install it or do I just turn off the computer and take out the old one and put in the new one...and thats it? Also, what do I do with the old battery? Thanks
Hi ame,
on the battery disposal front see http://www.apple.com/recycling/computer/
As you are in Illinois you should also see http://www.epa.state.il.us/land/electronic-waste-recycling/consumer-education.ht ml . Apple are a participating company in this scheme.
Cheers
Rod

Hi there
I got my new battery this afternoon! Haven't use it yet! I was woundering if apple have some kind of "battery guide" for maxiumum performance? Like, charge it fully up and drain it 3 times or calibrate it first time, and so on?About Batteries in Modern Apple Laptops

Just got a new battery: what should I do?
Just unpacked and it's at 46%. There's a particular procedure I should follow with a new battery? Let it charge? Or use my MBP with battery until it's down and then give it a complete recharge?
You can charge it all the way up (overnight), then drain it all the way down, to initially calibrate the battery meter. Then continue with normal usage except for a calibration every month or so.

I have a power mac G4 OS 10.4.11 I just purchased a new iphone G3S how can I get it to sync to itunes? When I try I get a message that I need OS 10.5 can I load 10.5 on it? can I still buy 10.5 ?
CPU speed 800mhz
memory 512Don't fret.
Find a copy of Leopard (call Apple Customer Support and tell them that you have a machine that can't run Snow Leopard).
You could also go to eBay.
After that, install it:

Leopard will run fine in a 800 MHz machine. -
Just got a new router, now iPad having trouble staying connected to wireless
It seems the wireless connection is sjakey on iPad. At home I never had any problems until recently after getting a new wireless router for the house. iPad sees the wireless network, connects, but often disconnects. Signal strength is fine, but it won;t hold. Any suggestions?
At my friends house, it sees his network and connects, but only works with email. Safari doesn't work or any app that requires wireless connection.Shawn is speculating. None of us know if 2.0.3 will be released in September or indeed ever.
Can I ask what type of encryption you are using? WEP, WPA or WPA? 40bit WEP needs a five ASCII character (or ten hex) password to work properly with all devices and 128bit WEP needs a thirteen ASCII character (or twenty six hex) password. It is much more preferable to use WPA though as you can use a password of any length and WPA can't be hacked nearly so quickly as WEP.
Hope that helps.

I my ipod isn't letting me swipe in on the lock screen, and for now, i've given up on that, and i just got a new laptop. So what i'd like to do is not worry about getting in my ipod, but to plug it in my computer and get my music off of it. it is not letting me do this because i have to unlock my ipod but, sadly i cannot, if anyone can help me it would be greartly appreitiated.
You don't have to purchase it again, but you do have to download it. See Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto ties to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files. Big problem. What to do?
Simple:
File -> Export to get your photos out of the iPhoto Library. In the Export dialogue you can set the kind to Original and you'll get back exactly what you put in.
Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
Once exported, you can then trash the iPhoto Library - just drag it from the Pictures Folder to the trash and empty it.
After that, if you're entirely neurotic about it, just put the iPhoto app in the trash and empty it.

I just got a new laptop and when i went to go and buy something, it asked for some security question answers cause this was my first time buying on this computer. When i went to go type in the (so what I thought) correct answers, it said they were wrong. After numerous tries, it disabled my account. How do I get the answers sent to my email so i can start using my itunes again?
Go to item 12 in the AppleID FAQ for help with a disabled account.
You can also go to the AppleID support page and click manage your account for additional help. -
I just got a new Ipod and had to update my itunes. Now my itunes will not open. I have a MacBook 4,1 with Mac OS X 10.6.8.
On your phone: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Should take but a minute & the phone will look just like it did when first taken out of the box.
If you're gonna use the phone on the same computer your son uses, read through this:

I just got a new iPhone 4 and i tried to download some songs from my itunes account onto my phone and it bricked my phone! So I can't use my phone, it's locked. It shows a plug going into an adaptor frozen on my phone. How can I resolve this problem? I got my phone at Verizon yesterday so I went back to see if they could help me today and they didn't know anything about it at the Verizon store. Theyy said to try IMac store here in town...
Ask the Verizon store to exchange your iPhone for a different iPhone 4.
UPDATE - Sure, try ckuan's solution first. Then use mine if that fails.

I just got a new IMac, and tried to download files from my old PC. When I go to,Finder, I have 1500 files under Developer, an 78 files under Other.
Most of these files I do not recognize. Can they be trashed? Why did they transfer? I used a flash drive for the transfer. Also, is there a way to transfer my older email files to this new computer?
Thanks for any and all help, I really need it.
TomDid you use the Migration Assistant to help set up the new iMac using some of the files in the older PC? Some likely won't mean much, unless you have applications that can use or convert them. There's also a way to use the software Time Machine to import data files from an external or another computer, so you may have used that, too.
Hopefully someone with experience in a similar issue will reply...
Good luck & happy computing! -
My Ipod was originally set up as a sub-account of a firends. After that, I got an Iphone and set up my own Apple account. I just got a new Ipod, and now can't sync my old Itunes to it. Can anyone help me? I'm even OK with deleting the old Itunes account, and staring over. I just really want to get the new Ipod under my own account, and be able to use it...
There is no such thing as a "sub-account." Also, you probably mean iTunes library, when you say "account." Your "account" in iTunes is your Apple ID, which is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store to make purchases. iPods are associated with an iTunes library, not with an Apple ID (iTunes Store account). You'll need to clarify...
So, this is what I think you are saying. You previously shared an iTunes library on a computer with your friend. Your old iPod was synced to that iTunes library.
You got an iPhone, and at that time, you set up your own iTunes library. Is that on a different computer? How does the iPhone affect your question about the iPod?
You got a new iPod. What is your "old iTunes"? Is that the iTunes library you shared with your friend? -
