Minor keyboard issue with new 15" MBP - will genius bar help me?

I bought a new 15" 2.67GHz MacBook Pro last Thursday and I noticed that the F11 key is slightly crooked and not level. I am certain there was no abuse to the computer, it's like my baby and I know nothing happened to it. If I take it to a Genius Bar, would they help me out? It doesn't really bother me all too much and the key works fine, but I'm just pi--ed that I spent over $2500 on a computer and the buttons aren't on perfectly. I would have taken it in right away but I bought it Thursday night right before they closed and I left for vacation the next morning. I will not be back until August 9 and I am concerned that if I wait that long, they will not believe me that it was like this when I bought it and will think that I did this. Do you think they would help me? How should I proceed?
Thanks!
Mike

Take it back. They will replace the key or keyboard, if needed.

  • Skype issues with new Retina MBP

    Help - I have a new Retina MBP with the latest version of Skype. I am having serious issues with Skype -anyone I call on landlines keep telling me my voice is "breaking up" - I can hear them perfectly. A skype test call works OK, calling my own land line seems to be OK, but all calls from Australia to US land lines experinece this issue. (I thought is was my router so had Telstra replace it - talk about good customer service - it was replaced no questions asked). Same version of Skype on my 5+ year old MBP still works OK (of course it is not running the latest version of Moutain Lion as it does not support this version).
    The Skype community forum reports various issues with MBPs but not this particular one. I would go to the Apple Genius Bar but they don't really provide support for thirdy party apps. Note I am using the built-in speaker and microphone.
    All suggestions most welocme - I really need to get this sorted before my next trip.
    thanks.

    Please,  run the DirectX diagnostics tool.
    Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.

  • Will Genius bar help?

    I continue to have a problem with my MAC Pro tower. The bottom line is that it freezes up after inactivity, and I have to shut it down using the power button. Then I have to use my Snow Leopard disk to run the disk utility to clear up the problem "Invalid Volume Directory Count" (can't do it with the regular disk utility). This has been going on for a while, even deleted, formatted and restored my drive, but it is still happening. I have never done so, but does this sound like something that could be taken care of by the Genius Bar? This is my first MAC, and have always had in house service on my PC's, very convenient. I cannot generate this problem, it has a mind of its own. To use the Genius Bar, I would have to bring my tower to the store (not a lightweight), and, based on the nature of the beast, would probably have to leave it. Everything else seems to working fine (monitor, keyboard, mouse, tablet, etc.) so I am hoping that I would only have to bring in the tower. Has anybody had this experience? Can I call my Apple Store to find out what I would need to bring in, or would they tell me when I make a reservation?
    Thank you for any suggestions an/or direction.

    Buy Alsoft Disk Warrior and run that from a small partition.
    Clone your system with SuperDuper.
    I would learn how to do system maintenance.
    Test your RAM. Memtest/Rember and also run the Apple Hardware Test off the OEM DVD.
    You may need to start fresh on a newly formatted hard drive. Also any printer, devices and look for anything that isn't compatible with 10.6.x. And don't restore anything until the problem goes away; and, you have cloned your system to another drive or disk image.
    Apple Disk First Aid is not as strong or as reliable as Alsoft's.

    D.p.middleton the Adobe Application Manager has been available for quite some time.  It not only allows Creative Cloud users to install their applications but also downloads and applies applicable updates.  In addition it is also responsible for the licensing and managing your agreement to the terms and conditions of the EULA.
    2. this could be due to you selecting a trial subscription to the Creative Cloud?  If you go to one of the Adobe Creative products and select Help>Updates it will launch the update portion of the Adobe Application Manager which I believe is the portion you are looking for?
    #3 I believe this was already mostly covered in the answer to #2.
    #4 the Adobe Application Manager also receives periodic updates which affects both perpetual and Creative Cloud subscription users.
    I hope this provides you many of the answers you are looking for?  If not please feel free to respond back with any additional inquiries which you have.  Also if you are experiencing any difficulties with the update process please post this as well.  It may not be necessary to have a full understanding of the inner workings of the Adobe Application Manager to help you resolve your difficulties.

    Yes.
    Restore your iTunes library from your computer's backup along with all other important data that should be included with your computer's backup such as your documents, photos, etc.
    Important to maitain a backup with any computer platfirm but event more so with Windows due to being very insecure and unreliable,

    Hello,
    please have a look there: http://www.adobe.com/products/cs6/faq.html >>> Can I distribute a Creative Suite 6 edition across multiple users or computers? >>> The software license agreement accompanying your product may entitle you to install and activate the software on two systems with certain restrictions. The product license agreement for Creative Suite 6 does not allow you to install the components of a single suite edition across multiple computers. See the software license agreement for more information.
    It could be necessary to activate/deactivate please have a look there:

  • My iphone was stolen and then returned months later after I already got a new iphone the old iphone is disabled I sold it on eBay and don't have a computer to enable it will Genius Bar fix my phone and at what cost

    My iphone was returned to me and its disabled because I reported it stolen months ago. Will Genius Bar enable it so I can sell it on eBay seeing as I already got a new one?? I don't have a computer to connect to iTunes. Will they charge me?

    Genius bar appointments are free. To remove the passcode on a disabled iPhone requires forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it, using iTunes on a computer. Whether the genius bart will do this for you is a good question. I suspect if you can prove the phone is yours, there shouldn't be any issues. Only one way to find out, & that's to make an appointment.
    Good luck.

  • Will genius bar install windows (boot camp) for me?

    will genius bar install windows (boot camp) for me? if so, costs?

    Ask them. We don't know what your local Apple Store will do for you. It will certainly cost you their hourly charge for however many hours are involved. You may have to purchase Win8 from them but if not you must have a copy of your own.
    Or you can take the time to read the Boot Camp documentation and do it yourself. Start here: Apple - Support - Boot Camp. Open Boot Camp Assistant then click on the large button on the left to print the documentation. Then read it very carefully.
