Macbook coin operated lock & third party accessories

Hi,
Question, the coin operated lock/latch on my white macbook broke while trying to get to the battery. Can this be replace? or any suggestions as to how to affix it. I am thinking of gluing it back but I am not too sure if it would be safe to do. Also, the battery is bulging out. I have heard reports of this in other postings. I am not sure while this happens.
Also does anyone have any experiences using a third party for mac accessories. I am considering replacing my battery with one from Newer Technology? They have a compatible battery for my model, and it is selling about $40 cheaper than Apple's.
All comments will be greatly appreciated.

Apple or an authorized service provider can fix the battery lock.

    Third party accessories no longer supported... All my charging cables were great before the latest ios update, why?

    I don't know which accessories you have, but the 'better' ones are usually made with Apple's cooperation. Stuff from Targus, Kensington, Belkin and the like.
    Ive used a belkin and Onn lightning cable with my iPod with no error messages.
    You SHOULD  be able to keep using the accessories and just ignore the warning. But I say should because that may not be the case with everything.
    The issue stems from various incidents involving shoddy third party accessories malfunctioning - sometimes quite spectacularly. But the headlines never read 'cheap knock off cable shorted out' they read 'iphone burst into flames'

  • IPhone locked third party keyboard problem.

    I removed the default Apple keyboard and installed a third party keyboard. Now, I am unable to enter my passcode to unlock my iPhone. Please help!!

    Hi mbader71,
    The iOS 8.0.2 update specifically addresses this issue. See this article -
    iOS 8.0.2
    You will need to do the update through iTunes, since you can not get into the iPhone to do it over Wi-Fi. See this article for how to do it -
    Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch iOS software
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Third party accessories no longer work

    Ever since I upgraded to iOS 6.0.2 the several lightning connection wires which I had bought from non-Apple vendors now no longer work to charge the battery.  They still work to connect the phone to the computer and to the car, but when they connect, the phone will not charge. I just ordered a battery pack which should be delivered any day now and I predict that it will not work. Anyone else have such a problem?

    a) you would probably need to contact the app developer about their app, and I would know nothing about your desktop. b) Apple does not support downgrading of iOS. It cannot be done.

  • Third-party battery & charger?

    Hi all,
    Has any of you had any experience with 3rd party camera batteries & chargers? Would it cause any damange to the camera? Would it cause problems when doing repairs via BB or the manufacturer?
    I'm considering this option because BB is making me extremely frustrated by making a simple battery replacement difficult & time-consuming (the whole story: CLICK HERE)
    But I don't want BB or Panasonic to deny my right to repair the camera within the warranty due to using a third-party battery/charger.

    To my knowledge, no manufacturer covers damage caused by using third party accessories under any circumstances (that would be silly).
    In the US, the manufacturer cannot forbid you from using third party acessories and it cannot directly change your warranty status, and there are similar laws in most other countries; only if the third party accessory damages your camera.
    For batteries and chargers, there is little downside, as even if the cells contained within are of a low quality, they would undervolt the camera, which it is designed to handle safely (although you wouldn't LIKE it, it won't damage your camera), not overvolt it, which would cause damage - and even overvoltage will only cause damage if it's significant. The camera has to be pretty tolerant of batteries acting up, because even the best Li-Ion frequently have trouble.
    I'm a former Geek Squad employee, and I've spent my entire life and career taming technology. Kudos appreciated.

  • Is there a way to have MSOffice-Mac on my MacBook Air sync wirelessly (and non-manually) with iWork on my iPhone without a third-party app?

    I purchased a MacBook Air after hearing that it can sync wirelessly with all iOS devices. I then purchased the iWork office for my college courses and found out that the school requires online students like me to use Microsoft Office for Mac. An Apple phone rep explained that this software syncs in read-only mode with the iPhone. Is there really no way - besides third party software like Dropbox, Windows Live SkyDrive, or Docs To Go - for me to sync my homework between iWork on my iPhone and MS Office my new MacBook?

    Go through this article: How to back up your data and set up as a new device or do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select

  • Third party application is disrupting my ios operating system for my ipad 2 . i believe it's a virus or malware.

    third party application i mistakenly downloaded is disrupting my ios operating system . It is asking me for the serial number to my ipad 2 and to call a 800 number . What should i do ? My Ipad is messaging me to do this to solve the issue. I think it's some kind of virus or malware.

    It's a Safari phishing scam. Just ignore it. Don't click on any links or call any telephone numbers. Quit Safari.

  • I want to change the settings (brightness, contrast, gamma) for my internal cam on Macbook pro. I find having to but a third party software (iglasses, webcam settings) to control basic settings as unnecessary and exploitative. Does anyone have a solution?

    I want to change the settings (brightness, contrast, gamma) for my internal cam on Macbook pro. I find having to but a third party software (iglasses, webcam settings) to control basic settings as unnecessary and exploitative. Does anyone have a solution?

    It is not about payment of $19.95 (Igalsses) or $7.99(webcam settings). This is a very basic setting that should be available in the system settings. The automatic setting of the internal cam does not work great on low lighting as everyone is aware.
    i am just amazed how users take in lying down and suggest solutions such as paying for a 3rd party paid app or improving the lighting in your room.
