ashish35,
No one from Apple here - we're just users like you. All I can tell you is that electronic fail and with MacBook Pros (and most notebooks) the components are so integrated as to make a repair to the logic board practically impossible, hence the high prices charged for repairs.
Only you can decide if you want to have your computer repaired or put the money towards the purchase of a new computer. If you do decide to purchase a new unit I would suggest that you also purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan which increases your warranty from one year to three years.
Sorry and good luck,
Clinton

Just got the 4S. I cannot get Siri to work. It says it cannot retrieve info from the server. What does that mean and how can I fix it to use it?
Siri always contacts her own server at apple. They may be performing maintenance or applying updates, should be back soon.

I am trying to install my downloaded flash player on my new MacPro hard drive. I get the continual message that my I.D. and password are wrong. I know they are not wrong and have tried a lot of combinations from old Macs and old passwords too. Nothing works. How can I get the job done?
Hi,
On Mac, this password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software which can harm your system. Flash Player does not throw this prompt, Apple does that.
Please provide machine credentials of currently logged in User to continue with the installation.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

My new iPad Air will not let me download any apps from the apple store?
I also tried syncing to my iMac and that didn't help either
Did you set up a credit card when you activated your iPad? A credit needs to be in your Apple ID on the device for you to be able to download apps, even free ones.

A UK calendar has appeared on my iPhone 5s. I live in New Zealand and don't need a reminder of the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne!. It just appeared after the last update. No option to remove it in edit. How can I get rid of it? A New Zealand holiday calendar would be a help instead!

yesterday I purchased a new ipod classic to replace one that had worn out. The price was $179. I wonder if I am eligible for the extended warranty for $59. Can't seem to navigate through the apple support option to get answer. Anyone know?
Put in the serial number but was not offered an extended apple care plan. I guess if you purchase a new one because your old one is out of warranty you get a deal for $179 but you don't get a chance for an extended warranty. You don't get a new box or earbuds, just a brand new iPod. Good deal but since my first died under warranty, got a new one for free, second one I smashed the screen and got a new one for (I don't remember) and now the hard drive went and I paid $179 for a new one, I was hoping to get an extended warranty. But I guess not...

Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro?
Yes, if you are asking about using Time Machine to backup the Mac.
Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
You are not thinking of deleting the photos and files on your Mac, are you? If you do this, you will have no backups for those files.
Another concern is that Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point, Time Machine will automatically delete the photos and files from the Time Capsule.....you just don't know when this might occur.
In other words, only delete files from your Mac that you can afford to lose. -

neither my ipad or ipod are being recognized by itunes so i can't transfer songs from itunes playlists to the two devices. this is new, as far as a week ago i transferred music from the computer to the ipod. can anyone help?
Hey lightc,
If you are having an issue with iTunes not recognizing your iPad and iPod on your Windows computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,

New hard drive is not recognized by my MacBook Pro.
New hard drive is not recognized by my MacBook Pro. The supplier says I need to update my BIOS. True? How do I do that?
Hard drive: NN2-72-500-SSE Seagate Momentus 7200.4 (ST9500423AS) 500GB Laptop Hard Drive
Mac OS: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5I went through a similar issue with a Seagate Momentus 750GB HDD/8GB SSD with my late-2011 MBP. No matter what I tried, the machine would not recognize the drive.
To test it, I installed the drive in an old ThinkPad, and it worked fine. Then I tried installing it in my PS3, and the drive worked fine there, too. It was only the MBP which had issues.
I don't *think* Macs have a BIOS to update. But I know my MBP has issues with certain HDD's (including another external which works fine on other Macs and all Windows machines).
You might be able to find my thread by searching under my username, perhaps something in there will offer a tip. Otherwise, you might have to go the same route I did: install a WD Scorpio Black instead. Or upgrade to an SSD.
Good luck to you- -
My drive failed on my iMac and I had to get a new drive but now my iTunes music is gone including all the CD's I added to iTunes, and all of my custom Playlists. All of that stuff is still on my iPhone 4, but how do I get it all onto my iMac again? I have CD's on my phone that i no longer have the physical copies of so i can't just re-download them all, plus it would take forever! I just want to know if there is a way to get all of what is still on my phone, back over to my iMac with it's new drive and restore my full iTunes library to the iMac with playlists, CD downloaded music, and my iTunes bought stuff, so i can go back to synching the 2 devices without losing everything that's on my phone that used to be on both devices?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Back up the old iPad to either iTunes or iCloud and use the back up to restore your new one.

On my new iPhone, at the Apps store, I tried to make a purchase, the popup screen shows my Apple ID and asks for my password, but no keyboard appears so that I can enter the password. How do I get the keyboard to appear??
On your iPad, delete the existing account then sign back in with the new ID and password.

i cant download new application on my Iphone everytime i open app store then searching for the application i want to download when i Tap the FREE sign it become half square and never downloaded.
Sometimes this happens because the app won't run on the iOS version of the device you are trying to install it to. Go to the app store and make sure it will run on iOS 3.1.3 (many only run on iOS 4 or higher).
