I found one Apple reseller in Dakar - https://locate.apple.com/sn/en/sales/?pt=4&lat=14.6927778&lon=-17.44666670000003 7
I don't know if they do repairs or not but that would be a good place to start looking.
Best of luck.

  • Mac repair disks.

    Is there a way to make repair disks for 10.4.8 or 10.4.11?
    And I don't with apple that much but will they provide you with repair disks for you pc or do you have to buy install disks?  

    To get a system on a computer you either have to clone it on, or you have to install it.  Cloning places an exact copy of what is on a drive onto another drive, usually wiping the first drive in the process.  Installing offers the option of placing a fresh copy of the system files on top of the other files already on the drive.  The only thing that will install is an installer disc.  So, let's say you are in the process of using a computer and you need a new system.  With discs you can install a new system on top of existing files.  With cloning you either clone a bare system you have on hand and then re-install the data files and software, or you make sure you are on top of regularly backup cloning of the whole computer and should something happen you clone your backup but losing anything you may have done since the last backup.
    If things aren't so dire as to require a system installation, there are a number of utilities you can use to try to recover from system damage, to varying extents.

  • Repair Questions on a 2006 Mac Pro

    Hi everyone, i currently have a dead mac pro 2006 edition with 2 dual core xeon. I left at the mac repair shop, they gotta find out whats wrong with it. I fear its the logic board. So i was wondering:
    1. Will a recent year logic board fit in a 2006 mac pro case? if yes, do i need to change other hardwares too? daughter board etc. Cause I searched online and found out that the new boards cost alot less to replace than old ones.
    2. If indeed i can change the logic board to a newer one. Can i still put my old xeon processor in there?
    3. Thanks guys.

    1. I've just got a new Mac Pro and it is quite different internally compared to my 2006 Mac Pro.
    The HDD carriers are different sized, I had expected to slide out the drives and put them straight in the new machine but no luck.
    The processor shelf is also a completely different design too.
    2. No
    3. Sorry to bring you the bad news. Hope you get your machine fixed and it isn't too ££££

  • Repaired Mac hanging when restoring

    Got my late-2011 MBPro back from repair, where a new logic board was installed and prematurely dead battery replaced, "latest registered operating system"(was told that'd be 10.8.2) installed but no new hard drive installed (allegedly). I asked the clerk whether that meant I wouldn't have to restore from my Time Machine backup and he confirmed I wouldn't.
    Got home, plugged it in, booted up and....WRONG!! Was taken to the startup screen that shows up on a new Mac, asked about language and keyboard preferences, and whether and from where I wanted information transferred.  It took me several tries to connect to my home network and find my Time Capsule, and then four or five tries before the name of my most recent backup showed up in the source list. Clicked on it, and got a screen with types of items to transfer--all of which except "Settings" were indicated as "Calculating." I got tired of nothing happening after 10 minutes, so I clicked on "Continue" and got the "Transferring Your Information" screen, which for the past hour has been hanging first on "transferring your documents" and now "looking for documents and applications to transfer." Finally switched to "Transferring Documents," but the blue progress bar is still endlessly striped like a barber pole. And it's listing the estimated time to restora as "About 153 hours and 52 minutes remaining."  Of course, Apple Care is closed for the night. (Don't they know how many users are night owls who save this stuff for AFTER work and family??????)
    What the....? Last time I had to restore from Time Capsule (on a previous MB Pro) the machine started up,  
    PS--now it's up to "158 hours and 36 minutes...."

    Oh, God. Just did some more reading (in Mountain Lion and Time Machine) and it looks like I messed up BIG TIME (but nobody told me how to avoid that).  I went through Setup Asst. after the "transfer information" progress bar kept hanging and the last time estimate had climbed to 180 hours--so I skipped the transfer process.  I had NO intention of setting up a "new account," but because my MB Pro thinks it's a new machine (or has a new HD) when I entered my existing username and password it set up a new account anyway!!!!  Went into Migration Assistant to restore from the TM backup on my TC. Even though NO other devices are accessing the Time Capsule I keep getting the warning box saying "some backups cannot be accessed," and no matter what I do the only backups recognized are of THIS machine (the MB Air).
    I DON'T want to take the MB Pro back downtown to the Apple Store to have them reinstall Mt. Lion yet again, and I certainly don't want to have to haul my TC along too.  What the heck do I do? It's Apple's fault, because they did not warn me the hard drive would think it's a new machine (Setup even asked me to register!!!!) and did not warn me what and what NOT to do to restore from my backup. Heck, they even told me I wouldn't NEED to restore!!!  It seems every time I get a Mac repaired I go through hours of grief and frustration followed by a sleepless night because (unlike at other tech support facilities) Apple doesn't believe in 24/7 tech support.
    And now I'm going blind typing on this little MB Air (which is my travel notebook)--and am missing all the files I need.
    Meanwhile, doesn't anybody HERE stay up late?????

  • Power Mac G4 - corrupted disk problem?

    The G4 will turn on, but I unable to log in. Tried rebooting. Lost Disk 1 and 2. Neighbor's friend repairs Macs and he suggested that I purchase Tiger and new hard drive. I purchased Tiger, but not a new hard drive yet (don' know what to buy!)
    Inserted Tiger disk and went to Utilities, then run on Hard Drive, and tried to Repair Disk, but "First aid failed" - disk utility stopped repairing Mac HD because "the underlying task reported failure on exit."
    I spoke to another Mac repair person and he suggested that I remove the hard drive and send it to him for disk repair/recovery.
    Was able to remove ribbon cable. I tried to unplug the cord bundle with no success. It's underneath the drive and hard to get to. Also, I cannot figure out how to remove both the case and drive from computer. There's a plastic lever on the left hand side. What do I do with it? And where is the screw I'm supposed to unscrew?
    Should I remove the drive and send for repair? Or should I install a new hard drive and install Tiger on that? If I install Tiger on new drive, what will be left on my computer? Anything programs that came with the computer?
    I found this from another message and looks similar to what I have:

    Thank you.

    What type of G4 do you have? You may be limited by the 128 GB barrier...
    When you say you "try to log in but it doesn't boot", this means the system is being recognized. All in all that is a good sign. What I would first try doing is unplugging all periphreals (PCI cards, printers, usb/firewire devices, etc. minus the monitor and keyboard obviously). Then start up holding the shift key, this will boot your computer into +safe mode+. If that gets you to your desktop, run disk utility from there and repair permissions.
    If that doesn't work, you can boot into +single user mode+ and run fsck. This is another disk utility you can use. Here's instructions from Apple on using fsck. I advise reading the entire article, it will give you a lot of insight as to what steps you can take to fix the drive yourself.

  • How to erase a hard drive on a i MAC Power PC with OSX 10.5.8 pre-intel?

    I got this i Mac G5 Power PC with a 20" screen (no iSight) and last generation of i Mac repaired.  Capacitors and a power supply did revive my machine and it works fine.  I would like to donate my machine and want to erase the hard drive and make sure that all my personal data is gone.
    I have the Leopard disk and I am told that if I booth my machine with the disk while holding the C key then I can go to Disk Utility and erase my hard drive.
    Does anyone have a step-by-step approach to guide me through this?
    Any help will be most appreciated!
    Thank you,
    Guy

    Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

  • How to use a Mac for broadcasting an internet radio station?

    Hi
    Have been toying with the idea of starting my own internet radio station. I have a new Macbook Pro and one Macbook from 4 years ago (updated to Yosemite though), and I have been wondering if Apple itself loads any capabilities into their hardware for starting off a slick and professional sounding radio broadcast.
    If one uses cloud tech, could the station be run with minimal requirements of storage etc at my end? Could iOS be a possibility if combined with other content over cloud?
    Thanks for any tips.

    Although you will likely have much simpler and more satisfying results by having at least one of your Macs repaired, depending on which Macs you have and which Mac OS you use with them, there are at least the following possibilities:

  • How to ensure a smooth update and smooth running mac

    Hello all. First off this is not a 'help' or 'query' post, thanks to everyone in this Discussion who has helped me in the past for various mac problems, thought I "give back" and post some good tips and usage on "ensuring a smooth update and smooth running mac" in the long run.
    Altogether I have 3 Macs at home to "maintain" (my iMac G5, MacBook and my sis's Mac mini Intel) and in the office my own G5 Tower and 2-3 other same G5s. So far I have "dare to say" (touchwood ) I have not run into any major problems while performing any major OS or Security Updates; I know some of these steps are mentioned and even "preach" many times, but by doing them, you avoid all the inconvenience in the long run:
    Always Backup:
    1. Whatever you do, invest in a 2nd hard drive and perform regular back ups!
    2. If you have a G5 Tower or Mac Pro, get a 2nd drive or 3rd and install internally, if you have the other Macs, get an external FireWire Hard Drive.
    3. Use SuperDuper, and pay the little shareware to get the additional automatic and scheduling functions to help you perform auto backups, or if you prefer doing the backup manually
    4. For home users, I would recommend you perform a Backup once every 2 weeks. Heavy office/work use, I say once a week
    Performing Updates:
    1. Before Starting Up, unplug all external devices like FW drives, USB hubs etc, leave only your wired keyboard, mouse and internet connection (unless they are all wireless)
    2. Start Up your mac, quit all running applications and Repair Disk Permission
    3. Restart again and Repair Permission again
    4. Quit all other running apps and also turn off Norton Anti-virus, run Software Update
    5. Whether or not you have the Restart option after the update, Restart your mac
    6. Repair Disk Permission
    7. Shut down the mac, fix all the external devices etc
    8. Start up your mac, Repair Permission again
    9. Use your Mac as usual
    I have been doing these since all the 10.4 updates and I have not encounter any problems with all my macs.
    When a Kernel Panic occurs:
    1. Restart the mac and boot into Single User Mode (fsck)
    2. Run fsck and Repair the mac
    3. Reboot the mac, Repair Permission
    Regular Maintenance:
    1. Get a Maintenance Utility like Cocktail, and pay for the shareware and schedule regular maintenance cycles.
    2. The Mac OS also has a "built-in" maintenance script that runs in the wee hours (local time), so it is actually encourage that you at least leave your mac on overnight for at least one or two nights in the week.
    If you do not wish your mac to be left on till the morning, you can always schedule in Energy Saver's Schedule options for the mac to turn on and off at your designated times.
    I always leave my office mac on till about 4-5 am in the morning and I set things like Cocktail and NAV scans to run in those hours so they won't disrupt your day time operations, I do the same to my own home iMac.
    These tips and pointers are not new and have been mentioned many times in these posts, but if you just take that extra little time to follow through, you will be ensure a better and healtheir running mac.
    Cheers

    You can enter your Mac's serial number at this site. Information, based on the serial number, will be shown. http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html Then tell us what model PB you have.
    Usually, you get a blinking ? when no OS is installed. The startup tone (bong) you heard indicates the PB passed the startup hardware test.

    I would guess the fan is the cause of the noise. Suggest you take a look at it.

  • Apple logo with spinning wheel in Mac OS X 10.8.5

    I have a 15 inch MacBook Pro with 4GB ram and 2.4 GHz Intel i5 and OS X 10.8.5 and everytime i boot up it gives an apple logo with the spinning wheel, after 3 or 4 boot try, it actualy boots normaly to mac os x normaly. I already repaired the permissions, reseted the PRAM, and still no use.
    I often use heavy programs like Final Cut Pro 7 (.0.3), Firefox, EyeTV, and Soundtrack Pro.

    I already done this way and still no due
    here's a list of things i've already done:
    - Reset the PRAM
    - Uninstalled some programs i didn't use, like the older versions of iLife, iWork and MS Office for Mac
    - Repaired permissions
    - Uninstalled most third-party content i didnt use, like the black barry files.
    I also did a full backup and a full reinstall of the OS and software I used most such as the latest version of Adobe's CS6, and Sun Office suite and the MS Office for Mac, and the Final Cut Pro X suite and Final Cut Pro 7 suite.

  • How to use a mac laptop's built in iSight camera as an input camera on another mac laptop?

    I have two laptops. The first one, Mac Air, has an excellent webcam but has a spazzy screen that I can hardly see through. The second laptop has a terrible camera but a working screen and internet connection and is just overall, a good Mac Pro. I want to use the webcam as the video input for the second laptop. For example, if I were to chat on skype, I would be looking at my friend and the skype app on the second laptop, but the first laptop would be the one recording the footage. Is that possible?

  • Need External DVD Player that Works on Mac

    My G4 fell (ouch) and the right corner bent and the DVD player doesn't work anymore. At Best Buy I bought a LG DVD player and burner, but my G4 wouldn't recognize it. Then I bought a Pioneer DVD player and burner, but it wouldn't recognize that either (this one has a place to plug in a cord to power it from the wall, but it didn't help).
    Does anyone know of an external DVD player and burner that will work with a Mac G4? They seem to all be well under $100, a lot cheaper than having a Mac repair person open up my G4 and try to fix the internal player and also replace the shell.
    BTW, I guess I could get by without a burner, so if you know of just a player that would work with my G4, I would consider it. Also the LG player says on the box it works with Mac, but then I noticed it needs OS X 10.5 . I suppose it costs over $100 to upgrade, so I don't think it's worth it.

    All PowerBooks starting the G3 "Pismo" dating to Feb 2000 have Firewire Ports. On the 17" G4, the FireWire 400 port is the only labeled "2" in this image of the right edge of the computer:
