Mac Book Pro Glass Cracked

Hi All ,
I knew this is just a community to discuss on the issues .
Recently , somehow my MBP 2011 Unibody model accidentally had the glass cracked .
The LCD is working fine . No damage is done to the screen.
I approached AASP in Banglore for repair & service .
They suggeted to replace the entire lid and not only the glass part . The quoted price is very high .
When enquired more , they said it is how this is done and any Authorized Apple Service Provider wont just replace the glass only . Its like entire lid has to be replaced at any AASP centre.
Is it true that only Glass part can't be treated ?
Waiting for any suggestions on this thread .
FYI . My 1yr warranty is already expired.

Replacing the complete screen enclosure is the normal practice for this type of repair from any Apple store or AARC. Apple does not replace parts for something that is basically a Sealed Unit like the screen enclosure. It is either that whole unit or nothing.
To just have the glass replaced you have to take it to a Specialized repair place that does this type of glass replacement. You may or may not have one near you.

Most of us wouldn't know that here. Call your Apple Store.

I sprayed glass cleaner directly on my mac book pro screen. Will the screen be permanently 'spotted'????

Sprayed glass cleaner directly on my mac book pro screen - will the screen be permanently 'spotted'????

No chemicals should ever be sprayed on the screen of a Mac - they have coatings that can be damaged. Only use plain water, on a clean cloth that is only slightly damp and do not wipe over the edges of the glass.
How much damage was done depends on what kind of cleaner was used and how much was sprayed on.

Display of mac book pro retina 13 inch

On august 13th i purchased a mac book pro retina 13.3. It worked good for 3 months and then in November my display stopped working and gave it to apple service center in my college and after 3 days then gave me back saying it was some troubleshooting problem so they disconnected and then reconnected the display.
Now on 3rd January i had some flickering on my screen i restarted it but it nothing helped .Next day what i see is a big black dot on my screen with some horizontal and vertical lines.
straight away i took it to the store and the person there asks me 440 dollars as he thinks its a physical damage.
I mean without a scratch on any part of the laptop,without a crack on a screen or the body how can the display inside the glass screen can be damaged?
Is this the quality of the products ?
i get an answer from the person at apple store that even i dust particle gets stuck while closing the mac book can cause this problem.
Moreover there are no records of the service they did on my mac book in November and now after calling them they say that it will be updated today.
So if the quality so bad of the display that just by opening and closing the mac book the display got damaged?
I really want to know a person whom i can write this problem to?

Thanks again Ugh,
but I believe the update didnt fix the problem. I tried to do SMC reset several times but the system still hunguing everytime I connect the adapter.
Any other tips?
Cheers

My trackpad on my mac book pro is erratic and prevents me from using the computer

My track pad is completely going crazy i was forced to purchase a seperate mouse. It is jumping around and not recognizine where my fingers are telling it where to go. It is almost as if it needs to be calibrated. It's jumping all over the page and it's highlighting and dragging everything it took 5 min to just get the curser to the settings to look for a calibration option.. it wasnt working yester day and im still experiencing issues.
I bought this mac book pro august 2012 brand new from the mac store.

My Trackpad has been recently doing the exact same thing. I was amost certain i needed a new trackpad but after finding out it wold be almost $300 i had to exhaust all my options. I cleaned the pad, i reset the PRAM and SMC and all that ,I bought Mac Keeper to see if i had any viruses and i placed even pressure across the whole pad . I decided to have one last ditch effort on a turbo clean. I felt this was the problem as my trackpad would work then not then work again and i read on here small amounts of dust and dirt could really effect the way it works!
So this is what i came up with. I needed to get into the very small crack between the body and the pad. You will notice this crack if you apply pressure one edge at a time. You need something thin and strong, i used a pill packet. You know the ones gravol come in thee made of hard plastic and foil. I took one edge of that and used a lens rag for cleaning glasses and wrapped it around that edge. I then dampend this cloth with an alcohol computer or glasses clener and used my cleaning device to go around the pad. It takes some force but let me tell you the S**T that came out. There was dust and dirt all over the rag. My trackpad has been working perfecty ever since(almost 4 full days). It probably isnt what a proffesional would have done but hey it saved me a ton of money and that makes me happy!
Hope this helps

Mac Book Pro Dead - Completely Unresponsive

First to give a little background info - my Mac Book Pro is 13 months old - I missed the Apple Care Deadline by a week due to a mistake on my part. Upon purchase I received 3 faulty machines prior to this one. I had put the deadline in my calendar based on when I got a functional machine, rather than my purchase date - my fault. I tried to beg Apple Care for mercy a mere 2 days after my actual deadline and just got passed from associate to associate until one would finally just disconnect me. (This happened 3 times).
On to the saga of last night. I'm working at home, running iTunes, Mail, and Photoshop. I'm working on a layout in Photoshop - nothing very taxing on the system at all. The only things connected to the machine were the power adapter and my Wacom tablet. As I was editing a photo, all of a sudden the computer just shut off. There were no beeps, no pops, no cracks, nothing. Just dead, gone, nothingness. I feared the worst immediately due to the no Apple Care. Unfortunately, I fear even more than my initial fears were accurate.
I'm writing this post to see if anyone has experienced anything similar and has come up with a solution. I've searched the forums but don't seem to find anything but the random shut off issue (which this doesn't seem to be as those systems would at least reboot).
So far I've tried:
1) removing the battery, and powering up using only AC power
2) resetting the PMU
3) leaving it over night without power connected and the batter removed and then re-connecting to AC power
Nothing has produced any results at all. Any help/advice is appreciated. I have a feeling that I'm pretty screwed as it seems like a power issue or a fried logic board - neither of which sound like cheap repairs.
Thanks much.
Andy

Well, no official word yet, however there I do have news to report. The Genius at the Apple Store (Michael @ Ridgedale Mall, MN) was VERY helpful and reassuring that he didn't think it was a huge issue. He doesn't think its a logic board or anything that in depth - his initial thoughts were that a wire simply came loose and thats why it will charge, but we get no activity when the power button is pushed.
I also explained to him about my fiasco with even getting this machine in the first place (this is my 3rd machine - first two arrived damaged out of the box), and they had it on record that I had tried to buy apple care within the year time frame of when I actually received the satisfactory model (this one). Plus the fact that this is no where near my first Apple purchase and that ALL of my other products have AppleCare plans.
He gave me some pointers and told me to call AppleCare today and explain the situation, explain that I'd been misinformed from various channels, etc. Well it worked, and I now have AppleCare on the machine as of today.
I should know what repair is needed in the next day, and hopefully have the machine back early next week.
Needless to say this experience once again renewed my faith in Apple and the support they offer loyal customers.

Mac book pro running parallels gets waaay hot,,,what can i do

When using my retina display mac book pro the bottom of the unit gets really hot,,,uncomfortable to touch and you can feel the heat coming through teh key board

I am not using Parallels but am using Boot Camp Windows 7 64-bit. Running flight sims my MBP Retina reached 213 deg F. I know from previous models that Windows runs hotter than OS X on the Mac Book Pro - there some Windows programs like Speed Fan you can donwload for free that will give you control over the fans in Windows - not sure how well they work in Parallels though.
The standard answer here is the CPU is smart and will cycle down when it reaches too high a temp so you don't need to worry about overheating really.
The one concern I have - excessive heat is never good for electronics - is the display. On the Retina in Windows when gaming or under a load, the glass itself gets pretty hot on the lower left bottom and you can see the exhaust vents for the chassis go right onto the hinge below the screen - heat is obviously reaching the screen as well. My original Retina display just had to be replaced at 45 days old because I was getting increasingly dark bands running up the display in this area. I am sure that heat was a factor. We had the same issue on the previous MBP display before I understood how hot it was getting.
I suggest trying the Rain Design iLap - it's a good stand and does help keep the MBP a bit cooler. I've tried Cooler Master U2 and U3 fan stands but they don't make any difference in Windows when it's running hot.
Definitely lowering the brightness should help too.
Also make sure your Windows power setting is set to "Balanced" and not "High Perfomance" - this allows your CPU to idle and cycle to lower temps until it needs more power.

Mac Book Pro Casing

My Mac Book Pro was dropped at my 1 year olds birthday party. I told the guy who dropped it, no problem, I'll get it fixed. Thought it would be a few hundred bucks. Took it to the Apple Store. It's a Level 4 issue, $1,100. The laptop still works, but the casing around the display is cracked and it won't close properly or stay open. It either folds onto itself (like it would if it closed properly) or opens 180 degrees and lays flat. I have it hooked up to a monitor, but would like to find a cheaper way to get it fixed or find someone who would buy it for a decent price. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Thank you. Homeowners policy has a deductible higher than the cost of the repair through Apple. AppleCare doesn't cover accidental damage and AMEX doesn't either. And they shouldn't. It was "accidental".
The info is helpful, although I didn't see where the casing surrounding the display was able to be removed. I'm sure it can be, just didn't see it on that link.
The tech at the Apple Store said it was pretty easy to replace the casing, but the fact that the lap top was dropped, they need to do all sorts of testing to make sure there's nothing else wrong. When I told him I've been using this for 2 months with no issues, that didn't make a difference. They're covering their A$$'s, I get it, but seems crazy to spend $1,100 to repair a 2 year old lap top that's working properly. If you prop the display up on something, it's fine or like I said, connected to a monitor, keyboard and mouse.
Anyway, thanks for the response,

I have a mac book pro osx 10.7.5. Do I need to get anti-virus security software

I have a mac book pro osx 10.7.5. i do not have a virus checker. Do I need to get anti-virus security software that will protect against the new virus? And what would you recommend.
Thanks

There will always be a "new virus". Is this the recent threat you are concerned about?
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-27681236
It only affects Windows PCs, which is usually the case.
have a mac book pro osx 10.7.5. i do not have a virus checker.
Those two statements contradict each other. OS X 10.7.5 already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple. Installing third party "anti-virus" software cannot possibly protect you from all threats, whether they exist today, or may occur at any time in the future. Such products are far more likely to cause random instability, crashes, loss of data, time, money, or all the above, while providing nothing other than a misplaced sense of complacency - a threat all to itself.
The sky is perpetually falling for so-called "news" outlets. It has been so for many people since the beginning of time, and it will remain so for all eternity. Don't confuse fearmongering with becoming informed.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

I can't synchronise iphone 6 with my mac book pro

I'm trying to synchronise all the events and pics i have on my mac book pro on the iphone 6 but it doesn't work.
It says still at the 5th passage on 5 but i waited 3 hours and nothing charge as cracked.
So i removed the synchronisation about the pictures totally and so no pics on the phone. I tried to synchronise only some of the events but still the same problems.
Some ideas?
All the updates are done and there is enough space.
thanks
Giada

I tried that but the only thing I can find is contents insurance when I don't want that, I'm looking just for insurance to solely cover my macbook pro. I have tried direct line and others but they can't help.
This is actually harder than I thought and quite frustrating! Arrghh! I'll have to keep looking I guess. Surprised no one else has had this issue.

What is the best utility for mac book pro 10.10.2

What is the best utility/ antivirus program for a mac book pro running 10.10.2.

Nothing that is not already incorporated in OS X 10.10.2.
There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.

A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up", "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
"Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements.
If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.

The same precaution applies to Adobe Flash Player. Newly discovered Flash vulnerabilities appear almost weekly.

Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.

If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
The same goes for a spontaneously appearing dialog insisting that you upgrade your video player right this instant. Such popups are frequently associated with sites that promise to deliver "free" movies or other copyrighted content that is not normally "free".
The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.

Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all?? Looks like I can set it for one but not others. All, one, or nothing

Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all?? Looks like I can set it for one but not others. All, one, or nothing

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

I have a new mac book pro which i use in england but I need to use German charachters frequently, is there a way of having both visable on the keyboard?

I have a new mac book pro which i use in england but I need to use German charachters frequently, is there a way of having both visable on the keyboard?
For example so that I can just press shift or another key to get the German character.

Some may already exist, but you will have to learn them. On my old system these can be found through keyviewer.app For example, if I press option+s I get ß Umlaut is a bit cumbersome as option+u then the actual letter. It may be possible to bind a key to do this function, possibly through System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts
I have old, old references for utilities that let you rebind keys to other functions, and you would have to see if they have modern equivalents.
