Macbook Pro and Student discount

Hi,
I am planning on purchasing the 13 inch mac book pro. I want to take advanatge of the student discount to save $100. Since this Macbook is on sale for $60 off, is the savings combined, or just the $100?
Also, if I use my school email (for the code) and ID but my parents buy it (card in their name) does this affect anything?
I appreciate any help.

Its the sale price plus $100 off.
An issue might come up with you paying with a parents cc. Technically your name has to be on the card, but if the cc is signed on the back the cashier isnt supposed to check id (or isnt required to) so you should be fine if it is.
I used to work for Best Buy as an Apple Specialist, but all my comments, posts and opinions are my own and do not in anyway reflect Best Buy. Mostly because I think the exact opposite as Best Buy anyway

  • Macbook pro 13" Student discount

    Heej,
    i live in Holland and next month i'm in the USA for a month. Is it possible that i can get student discount if i buy a Macbook there?

    To The Apple Discussion Boards!
    No one here can answer that as we are just users like yourself & not employees of Apple. Call the online or offline Apple store in your country & ask them. They should be more than willing to advise you.
    Good luck!

  • MacBook Pro with student discount

    Hello
    I just read somewhere that if you buy a MacBook Pro (or any other Mac) from the online Apple Store with a student discount that it is a refurbished one you get. This because it's with student discount.
    Is this true?
    Thanks!

    I do not believe that is true.
    See: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/campaigns/back_to_school
    Or were you talking about a different discount?

  • Buy a MacBook Pro using Educational discount and ISIC

    Hi,
    I'm a Brazilian student and i'm traveling to US this month. Could I use my ISIC(Internacional Student Identity Card) to buy a MacBook Pro with Educational Discount?
    Sorry for my poor english, I'm still learning this language.
    Thank you.

    Terms and Conditions:
    Those eligible to purchase from the Apple Store for Education Individuals include faculty, staff, students and parents as follows:
    K12 - Any employee of a public or private K-12 institution in the United States is eligible. In addition, school board members who are currently serving as elected or appointed members are eligible. PTA or PTO executives currently serving as elected or appointed officers are eligible.
    Higher Education - Faculty and staff of Higher Education institutions; and students attending, or accepted into a Higher Education institution are eligible to purchase. Purchases from the Apple Store for Education Individuals are not for institutional purchase or resale.
    It says that just who studies in a American K-12 institution is eligible for the discount. But I study in a Brazilian University, and for this I think that there is no restrictions. I just need to confirm this information.
    Could anybody help me?
    I don't live in the USA, that's why I cant call for an Apple Store and ask this for them.
    A MacBook Pro here costs something between 2000 and 2500 dollars, that's why I want to buy one in the US this month.

  • Can I use both a US military and student discount when purchasing a Macbook Air?

  • I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation.

    I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation.  I will post my computer's 'specs' below.  I installed Lion, from Snow Leopard, through the App store.  The first week, it worked like a dream, and was loving my brand new computer, or so it seemed.  I then began to run into problems, and I can't confirm this 100%, but I believe it was after I updated from 10.7.1, to 10.7.2. 
    The freezes are sporatic at best, and cannot be narrowed down to one app.  I googled the issue about two weeks ago, and found a fix involving a temporary log-in, verifying the disk, restarting the computer holding CMD+R, and repairing the disk from there.  That fixed the problem.  For about three or four days.  From there I brought my laptop to Best Buy, where I purchased the computer (start the groans, my dad wanted the accidental damage, and he was paying, there was no argument).  My warranty there was still good, but all they were offering was to check my hard-drive, and possibly ship it out.  That would not be good for me, as I am a High School student, who works online. 
    So I then decided to go to the Apple store, see what they said.  They said a bunch of people had this problem, it would cost a lot to fix, as I would need a new Logic Board.  This did not make any sense to me, as I knew it was Lion's fault, so why would they not make the L-2009MBP Logic Board compatible, and why are only a few people having this problem, well a lot more than a few, but I mean not everyone. 
    So I asked a friend about it, and we decided to run a back up, and erase the computer, and re-install Lion.  Figuring maybe my data was corrupted during install.  This helped for a day or two, and happened again.  So this time, we backed up only files (music, pics, documents, etc.,) and did a fresh install.  I got my computer back last night.  Now, I am not saying that didn't help.  Previously I would have frozen about 18 times well writing this, but I have not frozen once (hopefully I didn't just jinx myself).  I have gone from about one freeze every 10-15 minutes (sometimes worse), to about one every 1-3 hours.  Which, let's be honest is still a lot. 
    So, before I just decide to go and revert to Snow Leopard on my merry way, I ask, do any of you have any other ideas?  Or guarenteed fixes?  I know a guarentee is a hard thing to ask for, but I am desperate, my teachers are getting angry with me for not sending work, and I know this would help a lot of people.  Thank you to those who read through my whole spiel, and thank you to those who will help me!
    [Ps, while I am somewhat of a noob, I know my way around a computer, so any help, or knowledge you could bestow upon me is awesome.  Especially DIY fixes.  (if your only advice is, don't buy a mac at Best Buy, don't bother commenting)]
    Macbook Pro
    15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009
    Processor:  2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    Once it is downloaded you need to restart the computer if it does not restart automatically. When it next starts up you should note a progress bar appearing below the Apple logo. When done the computer will restart once more. The new firmware should now be installed.

  • New macbook does not "see" my network, old macbook pro and iphones do...

    Yesterday I installed an upgrade to my airport extreme base station, now my macbook pro and the 2 iphones in the household see the wifi network but the other macbook does not. It does see the neighbors wifi networks and will see it when I connect via a cable to the base station by no wireless connection... help!

    I am having a similar problem. I have 19 iBooks in a classroom and, suddenly, none of them can see the AirPort Express network when they log on. Instead, the iBooks try to connect to a Windows-based school network. I have designated the AEBS network as the only preferred network but the iBooks NEVER try to connect to it first. However, if you click on the AirPort icon in the menu bar, the AEBS network is clearly visible and clicking on it immediately connects you to the AEBS network.
    When I originally set up the network in January, everything worked just fine. After the upgrade to AE Firmware 5.7 and various OS X 10.4.5 updates, everything has gone downhill. I had the dropped signal problem that so many have reported. I downgraded to AE Firmware 5.5.1 and followed J. Exby's procedure to upgrade the AEBS framework. That solved the dropped signal problem. But now my iBooks cannot find the AEBS network when they log in.
    I have set the AirPort Network Preferences to connect Automatically or to Preferred Networks with the same result. I have also set the option to "Keep looking for recent networks" and it never finds our AEBS network. Yet, the network can be accessed manually through the AirPort icon.
    BTW, I use one of the iBooks myself and it works perfectly and finds my preferred network in 2 other locations with non-AEBS networks. But it cannot see its own preferred network in school.
    This is really bugging my students--and me! Any suggestions? THANKS!

    Sounds like you got a used computer and paid new for it, that's illegal.
    "Open box" is a return by a previosu customer and can't be sold as new, you should have gotten a discount or informed of such.
    Once obvious sign is it doesn't come with free iLife on it, as the drive was erased.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 - Macbook Pro and Macbook Air will not print

    Products:
    HP Officejet Pro 8600
    Macbook Pro (Mac OS X, Version 10.7.5)
    Macbook Air (OS X, Version 10.8.2)
    Question:
    Why did my Macs initially print fine, but now will not print at all?
    Full Story:
    I have a wireless network at my house that consisted of a 30mb cable internet, Netgear 900n, HP Officejet Pro 8600, 2 Dell Laptops with Windows 7, a Lenovo Laptop with Windows 7, and Dell Tower with Windows 7 - All printed just fine.
    The HP Officejet 8600 was added to my network about 2 months ago.  
    I added a Macbook Pro and a Macbook Air about 3 weeks ago.  Both Macs printed just fine for about a week.  Then suddenly they stopped.  I spent about 2 hours on the phone with HP Service, and they finally said it must be my router.  So I called Netgear.  Netgear was useless!  They wanted me to agree to charges for services before they would even discuss the issue.  
    Due to information provided by HP's service support, and because Netgear will not support their product, I promptly purchased a new router - an Apple Airport Extreme.
    The Macs recognize the printer, will print if hardwired via a USB cable, but will not print wirelessly to the Officejet Pro 8600.  The PCs print fine.  
    The frustration that is being felt is compound by the fact that the Macs printed just fine with the Officejet Pro 8600 2 weeks ago, and now the printer just shows "idle"... even with a new router. (see image below)
    Please help, I appreciate any support.  
    As a side note, the HP Service rep was very friendly, and definitely tried to support the HP Product, which is much more than I can say about Netgear.
    Thank you,
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    More likely the issue related with Multicast, which Apple devices relies on to communicate with teh device through the network.
    First try unplugging the router for 30 seconds.
    Plug it back to the power and wait for 2-3 minutes.
    Turn the HP printer Off and back On, then check for any difference.
    If the same persists, try changing your router configuration as following
    Note: the settings below are not related with the HP product, I provide you the steps as a best effor and those are only based on my own knowledge. you may try modifying the router settings at your own risk:
    Open the router configuration page (can be found listed as the Default Gateway by clicking the Wireless icon on the printer, then print a network configuration report.
    Click the Advanced tab.
    Click the Setup option from the menu, then click on WAN Setup.
    Make sure to uncheck the box next to Disable IGMP Proxying and Apply the changes.
    Click the LAN Setup on the same Setup menu.
    Set the RIP Version as RIP-2 and Apply the changes.
    Reboot your router and then check for any change.
    I hope you may find that information useful, you may also use the user guide below for further information:

    Sounds like you'll need to access that drive while it is not booted. You need to replace it anyway, so do that, then one way or another (ext enclusure, et), access it and copy files.
    If you keep trying to boot it, you might kill it for good and not get your files, so just swap it out first.
