My Late 09 Macbook has a loose video cable. Will Apple fix it for free?

The screen randomly freezes up unless I push the screen slightly forwards or backwards. I'm assuming that this is due to a loose video cable. Will Apple fix it for free? I've tried disassembling it but I can't seem to locate the right screwdriver for some of the screws.

And even if it was in warranty, disassmbling it may have voided it.

I got a ipod touch 4th gen with a 1 year warranty and 2 weeks later i dropped it and it cracked. Can apple fix this for free? People say if you go to apple store they fix it for free for the first time. or if you have a warranty

" Can apple fix this for free? "
No. Like any warranty on any product, damage is not covered.
"People say if you go to apple store they fix it for free for the first time"
Really. What people say this? Not true.

I have 2 2006 macbooks that have chips. Will apple replace them for free?

Hello, i have 2 2006 macbooks that have palmrest chips. One is black and the other is white. the lack one also has a chip in the top left corner of the screen. I have heard of people getting the replaced for free bacause of faulty construction and wear and tear. Will apple replace the palmrest fro free? What about the chip on the top left of the screen? The optical drives dont work on either too. How can you fix that? Thanks!

The only one who can answer this question is the Apple Genus after the MacBook has been inspected.

My iPad charger has once again inevitably ripped at the end. It's been less than a year, so will apple replace it for free?

My first iPad charger was handled with some roughness, so as such I never argued when I was told I had to pay to replace it when it tore. However, now the the second one tore in less than 6 months, and I found a number of other people with this problem, I wondered if apple would replace it free. My new cable was handled with care and I even added an old pen spring to avoid this happening again.

There's only one way to find out what Apple might do in your case. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
I will say though that I've had two iPads and an iPhone and my wife also has an iPhone. Total use time is 6-7 years and we've never had a cable tear or fail.

Sleep/lock button has broke, will Apple fix this?

So my lock/power/sleep button has decided to break. I cannot get it to work no matter how hard I press on the button.
It has NOT been dropped, exposed to water or humdity of any kind.
My question is, will Apple fix this for me or replace my iPhone 4? I have scheduled an appointment at the closest store for Monday as it was the earliest I could be seen and I am still under warranty.
Many thanks for any potential help.

Thank you for your help, it is definitely under warranty as I used the online checker and I only bought it January.
I will ensure that I back it up before I go, would it be wiser to delete my content off the phone as well?

lol yea when i inserted the link i just copied and pasted thats why that happend... Lets try again... http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
Anyways when I go to it theres a drop-down list and you select the one you want and I know the number next to it identifies the model but the thing is they don't have my model listed so my main question is, what version eg. 2.1.1. or 2.2.1 etc. etc. etc. etc. will work with my model of ipod touch which is the 2g Model A1288?
Does anybody know? Does it work with any firmware thats for 2G ipod touches or do i have to get firmware thats model specific?

The first G4 models were basically a repackaged/upgraded G3 & came in 350 & 400MHz models. This design was called PCI version. The next G4 models were AGPs. This link http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/index-powermac-g4.html has the specs/pictures of all the G4 models.

Using these links, you should be able to determine which model you have.
Removing the battery causes all settings in the internal memory to be reset, just like resetting the PMU/CUDA. See Mac PRAM, NVRAM, CUDA/PMU & Battery Tutorial

How do i migrate files from a imac to macbook pro using an ethernet cable. the migration program asks for firewire and i don't own a fireWire. I do own an ethernet cable though

A FW cable would be far faster & Easier, but with Ethernet you need a compatible version of Migration Assistant running on both Macs.

The home button on my iPad has became faulty, it works sometimes although you have to press it really hard. Can Apple fix this for me?

The home button on my iPad has became faulty, it works sometimes although you have to press it really hard. Can Apple fix this for me?

They might be able to. If it's an iPad 2 then it is still within the warranty period, so as long as it's due to accidental damage it might be fixed/replaced free of charge. Have you tried contacting Apple ? I don't know what country you are in, and whether you are near an Apple store, but you could try looking on this page for your service options.
Before you do that you could try a reset and see if it that helps : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons (assuming that it works) for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Take it back to where you purchased the device and get another device.

My I phone has plenty of storage but will not download any apps free or paid for when I press install the installation symbol appears briefly and then the page reverts to the original form with the price or free on the right hand side.

My macbook has stopped playing videos, why?

Macbook has suddenly stopped playing videos. Please help

Be sure to look at the Settings for Videos, on iPod. From the main iPod screen, select Videos. At the bottom of the Videos screen, select Settings. Make sure there is nothing unusual there, particularly in TV Out.
