Minor Dents that I would like to be fixed
Hi, I recently just bought my MacBook Air 13 from someone and my computer works perfectly fine but there is a few minor dents on top of the computer that has been bugging me and I would like to know if Apple can repair it even if I don't have a warranty? I am willing to pay for the minor damages that is on it.
anything can be repaired without a warr. ...anything... the problem is cost. Since the unit works fine, do the cosmetics outweigh the likely high cost of removing minor "personality" marks that are not causing the screen to work in less than perfect condition?
Im certain without doubt Apple would not REPAIR such an issue (its not like removing dents from a car body), rather replace the lid shell casing. ..... As a former Laptop repairman, almost nothing is repaired anymore, all parts are thrown in the recycle bin, and new or refurb thrown back in to replace.

I purchased a Macbook Air 11" in January 2011. It has one key on the keyboard which sticks making an irritating clicking sound that I would like to get fixed. I took it into my local iStore but they were not at all encouraging, saying they doubt that Apple warranty will cover something like this, and also that the whole keyboard would have to be replaced as they don't do individual key repairs.
This is very unreasonable to me. Firstly, the keyboard does work (is not actually broken) although the intermittent clicking sound of a single key is very irritating to me and I expect more from an Apple product than a flawed keyboard.
Any thoughts, tips and insight on this greatly appreciated.Just wanted to conclude by saying that I did go to an Apple store and after supplying proof of purchase and verifying the warranty etc, I had my MacBook checked out by one of the technicians who (after finding that my machine was immaculate bar the sticky keyboard of course) they replaced the entire keyboard within a week.
I was so happy with the helpful and prompt service and am now so happy with my new silent keyboard!
Also wanted to add that the young guy who told me at the iStore that he doubted Apple would support this and guessed Apple likely say it was due to user damage was being a tool, and he was obviously assuming that I had done something wrong to break my keyboard.
This was my first Mac purchase and I was delighted to find that the support is genuine and not just a rumor... I have since gone on to purchase an iPad2 will probably buy the iMac too once my trusty PC needs replacing. I was never a PC hater and got on well with windows, and was actually reluctant to make the change - but so far so good :)
Thanks for all the help! -
How do I set the "reply to" field in the iPad 2 Mail app? I use an email forwarding service (not an actual email account) that I would like people to reply to, so setting up an account with the correct reply-to address doesn't work because there's no associated outgoing mail server. I had this working under iOS4 but it seems to have disappeared when I upgraded to iOS5.
Welcome to the forum, NicoleYM. I don't think the Touch Mail has as many options as the Mac Mail app. However, you could set a standard signature. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Signature. There you can type a reply address and hope people see it.
Alternatively, you can go to your GMail account in your web browser and click on Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP. There you will have an option to forward all emails (or only some, if you set up a filter) to your other address.
Good luck! -
How can I convert my music, and CDs to MP3, for use in my vehicle's AM/FM/ Stereo? I have a 16 GB SDHC Card, that I would like to load up with some of my music.
Thanks for any help you can furnish.
EdWell, this question really belongs in the iTunes forum, which is where you will get fast answers.
Just go to iTunes Preferences. Click on the General icon. Set When you insert a CD to Ask to Import CD. Click on Import Settings. Set Import to MP3 decoder. Make sure you're using Good Quality.
This should deal with your CD's.
With your current music, as long as it does not have DRM restrictions (older iTunes Music did), select the song, right click on the song (or group of songs), pull down to Create MP3 version. -
I have movies on my Hard drive that I would like to add to my iPad how do I get them into iTunes to download to my iPad?
READ the article from which the question was posted. Then follow the instructions for importing content to iTunes on the computer.
Once the content is in iTunes, connect the device, select the content desired to sync, and sync. -
Had to restore my computer and now have music on the iPad that I would like to transfer back to the computer. How do I do this? (Operating system is Windows Vista)
This depends, if the music was purchased on the iTunes store you can transfer purchases. If it was not then you would need a 3rd party program in order to rip these files to the computer.

I have an old imac G3 desk top computer that I would like to donate. I need to clean up the hard drive. HOw do I do this?
If you have a Mac OS 8.x or 9.x CD (depending on the iMac model), look for a Drive Setup utility somewhere on that disc. Boot from the CD while holding down the C key. Initialise the hard disk with a 'Zero all data' option chosen.

I have an external hard drive with numerous WMA files that I would like to download to iTunes. How do I do this on my MAC?
You can't write to it because it's formatted as NTFS which OS X will read but not write to. If you want to continue using the drive with both a PC and OS X you will need to download and install NTFS-3G so you can then write to it from your Mac. You can get NTFS-3G at:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24481/ntfs-3g
If you want to use the drive exclusively with your Mac then move the data off it and reformat it in Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utilities) as Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) -
I have a string of text sms and iMessages that I would like to save and then delete them from my phone, but gain access to them later if I need them. I prefer to have the string with the date/time stamp vs copying and pasting into a doc or text file. Is this possible?
Not unless you buy an app that accesses data from an iTunes backup. Check in the app store.

I have two monitor speakers that I would like to airplay to from my iMac. Is this possible? Is there an adapter or receiver? The monitor speakers are KRK VXT8.
They have a trial version you can test before you purchase. It limits you to 10 minutes of streaming before it starts inserting noise into the stream.
But you may not need it. I've read a bit further, and it appears that you may be able to stream any system audio to an Airport Express without needing AirFoil since you have Mountain Lion. I though it would work only with an Apple TV, but I've seen mention that it works with the AE as well (I don't have one to try). When you get your Airport Express set up, go to the Sound (speaker) icon in the menu bar, hold down the Option key, and click the icon. You may see the AE listed there as a selectable output device; if so, select it and all your system audio should be sent to the AE, including Spotify.

I currently use iCloud on a MacBook Pro. I opened my iBook G4 that hasn't been used in years. I have many email messages that i would like to transfer to the MacBook Pro, but every password I use to access MobileMe is not accepted. Any suggestions on retrieving or transferring the emails?
MobileMe was discontinued around 2 years ago. Anything on the MMe servers are long gone. The MMe passwords are uselsess because MMe is no more.
Unless you created an iCloud account back before MMe was taken off line you won't be able to recover any emails.

My iMovie 11 movie has clips that have some extracted audio that I would like to use for the menu music in iDVD 11. Does anyone know how to do this? Copy and paste does not seem to work.
I would use Quicktime Pro.

I would like to purchase music and when I go to purchase it asks to take the purchase from my credit card and I have a gift card that I would like it to take the money from first.
Part of the validation for credit cards is that they need to be registered to exactly the same name and address that you have on your iTunes account, which prepaid cards tend not to be. Do you have a proper credit card that you could use ? Or are iTunes gift cards available in your country so that you could try using them as your payment method ?
Until you have a valid payment method on your account and what you owe iTunes has been paid off then you won't be able to download any item from the store, including free apps (and updates to apps). -
Hi. I have just started using Adobe Photo Elements 11 and Adobe Premiere Elements 11. I have many pictures in my photo gallery that I would like to use in a project that I am working on. When I opened the photo gallery it said I could not use the photo gallery because it has not been updated. Can someone please help me with this...let me know how to do this...or...Thank you,
BNN, even though I understand what KT is saying, your thought resonates with mine. When it comes to building and maintaining my website, I see myself more as a photographer than as a web designer. Hence, even though Apple may not be actively developing (and we are guessing on this one, arent we) iWeb, the existing functionality should do plenty of good to me for next couple years at least.
That said, they released a point update a few days back and with the whole cloud thing building momentum and mobile me going for free, why would Apple want to pull the plug on such a fantastic product? -
I have a PC desktop and an iPad. I have a large library of PDF documents on my desktop that I would like to sync with my iPad. I would like to be able to download new PDF's and make edits on existing PDF's on either device and have those edits and new PDFs synced to the other device. I would also like to have my library available on the iPad even if there isn't a wifi connection (i.e., not on the cloud). Is that possible. I don't mind if I have to purchase a separate product or a product upgrade ect.
You can't use an external hard drive like you would with a computer.
You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
When you first connect the USB flash drive, you will only see thumbnails of the pics on the iPad; you have to import the pic file to see the full size. With your large library of pics, you will have to do this repeateably and then delete pics so you don't exceed your memory capacity.
Cheers, Tom
