My macbook pro fell off the coach and landed on its screen..nothings cracked or damaged..but is ut ok?

Is it ok?

You can continue using it and it may or may not continue to work properly. I suggest the you run an Apple Hardware Test:

You may need to use OPTION D to start it.
Better would be to have a genius bar technician check it out.

My macbook fell off the couch and now everything on the display is double and slightly transparent. Is there a fix for this other than getting it replaced?

My macbook fell off the couch and now everything on the display is double and slightly transparent. Is there a fix for this other than getting it replaced?

Only an Apple Store or an authorized Apple Service Provider can determine if a repair is economically justifiable. It may be as simple as a dislodged display cable.

Is there an easy way to securely delete everything on my macbook PRO except for the OS and applications? Giving my old Macbook to a family member.

Is there an eay way to securely erase all information on my macbook Pro except for the OS and applicatios? I'm donating my computer but want to eliiminate my files and info.

Yes, boot to your install disk (start up while holding C key). Go to Utilities>Disk Utility. Choose erase and format your disk (make sure it's formatted as Mac OSX extended journaled). There's is a button for security options. Choose the 0 option (don't choose the multiple pass versions, or it will take forever, but that's extra security). The 0 option writes a 0 in every location on the drive, and it takes a few hours. It would take CIA or highly skilled hacker abilities to dig out any information.
Once you wipe the disc, reinstall OSX. You're done.

Hello, my MacBook just fell on the floor and there is a massive smash on the rear aluminum part. Is it fixable? Does the warranty cover this type of damage? If not, how much would it cost me to get it fixed?

PS: I bought it on the USA, but currently living in Brazil . I guess though there is a apple store in the shopping mall.

Accidental damage is not covered by warranty. As to cost to fix, we can not say as we do not know what internal/external components were damaged. Take the computer to an authorized repair center for assessment and estimate to repair.

Is the MacBook Pro good for The Sims3 and other versions of that game

Is the MacBook Pro good for The Sims3 and other versions of that game

i have an early 2011 15" MBP and it runs the Sims 3 just fine. I do not have any of the expansion packs for the game but as long as your MBP meets the minimum requirements you should be just fine

iTunes is part of OS X, which implies that iTunes was deleted, or that your OS X installation is corrupt. In either case, the easiest approach usually involves downloading the combo update for OS X — the so-called combo update, and not the delta update — and installing that.
Applying or re-applying the OS X combo update won't alter your user files, but will reload all recent OS X changes, and should also cause iTunes to be re-loaded.
If you are running Mavericks 10.9, then download and install the OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 combo update.
You'll want to have a backup of your system — updates don't fail often, but they can fail. If you don't have Time Machine or some other form of backups running, get that going first; before further changes here.

Macbook pro fell off my bed!

Hi,
I had my macbook on my bed and my AUX cable was plugged in, it slipped off my bed accidentally when i was trying to reach for the charger and it fell on the floor and the AUX cable has dinted the side of my mac, it is pretty bad because i cant even the AUX cable in because its broken and the usb ports ect. seem to have gone in slightly deeper which isn't normal, I have apple care as well so will they repair this for me?

Sorry, AppleCare does not cover accidental damage.
You only recourse is homeowners'/renters' insurance. It turns out that many such policies cover computer damage or loss, subject to a deductible, of course.
Notify your insurance carrier of the accident and see if it's covered. Then head to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for a repair estimate.

Macbook Pro shutting off when unplugged and at 80% battery? help!

I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro 15 in. that i got in May of 2011. When i unplug the power adapter it works fine, but at about 80% battery it shuts off. i go to turn it back on and it acts as if it is dead, i press the power button again and it turns on without problem (although the date and time at first is messed up). What is wrong? I recently had to get my hard drive replaced 2 months ago and it has been working fine until yesterday. What could be wrong and how do i fix it?

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. Back up all data before you go.

Macbook pro fell from the dining Table

Hi guys
My daughter just dropped my macbook pro from the dining table to the floor .
The Macbook was on at the time when it fell, i quickly picked it up, but heard noises coming out from near the DVD drive.
Since then the macbook is really slow, takes ages to start and keeps processing constantly.
Browsing is slugglish! there is a delay in typing and browsing using mouse etc.
Having read some posts already, i am begining to think that its the hard disk that seems to have gone.
I tried running some hardware, but it froze after 59 secs so had to restart again.
Can someone please help me in terms of checking or what i could do to just ensure that its the hard disk and nothing else? Since this is accidental damage, which isnt covered under the warranty, can someone advise which HD would be best to replace it with? what does apple use?

Instead of running the Repair Disk routine in Disk Utility, you can start up in Single User Mode and run fsck:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
That will repair the hard drive directory if the drive is in good mechanical order, possibly resolving the ballkiness mentioned in your first post. If the drive has suffered any damage in the fall, directory and file corruption may return quickly. I recommend backing up the hard drive ASAP if the machine will run long enough to do it.
You can try running Apple Hardware Test without the Applications disc. If you have a unibody MBP and your hard drive has never been reformatted, it may work:

I just took my new MacBook Pro out of the box and the screen will not work. Display is, black no life to the screen at all

So I just ordered my first Mac book Pro. I took it out of the box and hit the power button to do the start up and the screen will not work at all. I shut the computer off and back on again. I plugged it in and unplugged it. I've done everything I can think of and the screen still stays blank with no life at all

Is the battery charged? Press the little button on the left edge, near the front. If no green dots, no charge.
Does it charge? When you connect the MagSafe charger, does the pilot light on the plug light up?
Does it actually start? Should sound a chime after you press the power button on the top/right corner. If it chimes, does the Caps Lock pilot light when you press it?
If it starts and Caps Lock does flash on and off, have you tried pressing the screen brightness control for awhile? F2 turns up the brightness, may be turned fully down.

My appleid is working fine on the web, and iPhone, but I cannot get my MacBook Pro to recognize the applied and log into iCloud

My appleid is working fine on the web, and iPhone, but my MacBook Pro does not recognize the same password, and I cannot log into iCloud. I have deleted the iCloud account, and reentered a new one, and that has no effect.

Hey kbert73
I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

MacBook Pro: I closed the lid, and 5 seconds later, I heard start-up chime!

I found a thread from earlier this year about this, but it was never solved and was then archived. But it happened to me earlier today. When I opened it back up, panicked, the computer was just off. I couldn't just hit the power button to start it back up... I had to hold it down for a good 7 seconds before the computer started up.
Here's the earlier thread...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=975359&tstart=0
Any ideas? It's only happened once, so I'm not TOO too concerned... but I am getting ready for Leopard and Time Machine so I can back up like a good little Apple user.

I had this issue and the culprit was a bluetooth mouse that was waking the computer up. Do you have any bluetooth devices or anything that might be signaling the computer?

Mac Lifer using MacBook Pro - why is the performance and network SO slow now?

I'm a 15+ year experience designer that lives on my machine. I'm in Adobe, Safari, Mail, Skype and Gotomeeting every day. Skype audio is spotty, Safari lags, Mail lags, and Adobe Photoshop CS6 fonts seem to give it a ton of grief. I would take it in to a store, but don't have the physical time.

See ds store's excellent user tip - Why is my computer slow?
You don't say which model you have, how much RAM, how much free space on your internal hard drive, etc. Information like that can be useful.
