New Battery other than Apple brand?

Suggestions for replacement battery beside Apple store?
Apple wants about $100-$130.
Are any of the non Apple store batteries any good?
Lots to choose from on Amazon.
What's hot? What's not?
If I buy Apple brand battery on line I have to send in the old battery and was told by Apple care
that it's ok to run MB on AC thingy, without battery. Most posts I've read say NOT to operate MB without battery installed. What to do?
Thanks for all replies.

I can't make a recommendation on batteries as I have always used those from Apple just for peace of mind.
So far as running without the battery, you will not harm your system by doing so. However, should your MagSafe connector get disconnected or should you lose power (unless you are connected to an uninterruptable power supply)you will lose anything you may be currently working on that has not been saved.
Running with the battery removed will also result in your machine running significantly slower:

I have an IPod touch 4 gen. And I'm having problems with the audio when I use other than Apple brand earphones

I have an Ipod Touch 4 gen. and I'm having problems with audio when I use other than Apple brand earphones. I'm talking about music only so far, when I use apple earphones all is fine, but if I use other type of phones ( sony for exemple ) I can only hear the music and the background but not the lead singer voice, can anybody explain this to me? thank you.

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
- If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Can i use any other branded headphone jack other than Apple jack ?

My doubt is that , will there be any defects caused to any apple product if use any other banded 2.5mm jack other than apple? If so ma i know what can be those defects or mal-functionings..? Pls help me because the apple jack is not serving me to listen to music when i go for jogging, it does not have good grip and hence it falls off my ears. Kindly help me with this issue.

I do not really understand what you are saying, if you could, specify. The standard jack is 3.5 mm by the way, and it should be 3.5 mm on your iPhone. Any device bought from Apple, including third party devices (Meaning from other producers, eg. Sony, Bose, etc) should work fine. You are not limited to using included EarPods. If you mean that you wish to take apart the device and replace the headphone jack built into the iPhone, I strongly recommend you not to, as it will void the warranty, and has an extremely likely chance to damage your iPhone.
Edit Here is some info from another post of mine, to help you understand your new iPhone!

Iweb upload to host other than apple

Is this possible? Can I change the settings inside of iweb so that it will upload the site to a different host, other than apple. I'm a dreamweaver user and I have to help out a number of people and they all just got new macbooks. Since it has iweb already, it would be great to use it, but we didn't get the mac accounts. The office did open an independent site with a generic hosting service.
One person says that we can upload the site to the our purchased host through FTP. Sure, but everyone is COMPLETELY computer illiterate. So that isn't a solution. We need something they can just press and it will work. Can I configure iweb to do this. This is a Yes or NO question. I just need to know. I can do the legwork myself, but before I get started down that road, I need to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Otherwise it's dreamweaver.
Thank you. Whoever you are that has the answer.

Whatever happened to helping people to learn or teaching, or has this art suddenly disappeared? I am sure that most people were computer illiterate as you put it before we got our hands on one and were taught or helped to learn how to use it. I know I was. I remember about 16 years ago now, when I was at university, I needed a computer, so I purchased an Amstrad. It was a black and white monitor and had no hard drive, so all work needed to be saved on a floppy disc. This saw me through uni and I then decided to buy my first proper computer which was a Viglen PC. This had an internet connection and I learned how to use this by fiddling myself and reading books and with help from others.
It was not long after this that Apple bought out the first iMacs - the Tangerine iMacs that were 500 Mghz. I bought one of these for my parents as they wanted something simple to use without all the leads and connections that PC's had. I set it up for them and used it myself and was so impressed with it, that I went out and bought one for myself and have never looked back. It ran OS 8, which was quite unstable and kept crashing and freezing all the time. I learned how to use this myself.
Since then, I have graduated to the latest Macs and the latest software, but they are easy to use even for the computer illiterate. Even the computer illiterate can learn if they are taught.
I totally agree with what Roddy has said. How hard can it really be to publish to a folder - this can be done from within iWeb itself, by selecting the Publish to MMe or a folder option? If someone were to set up an ftp client such as Cyberduck for people to use and have all the info needed entered into it, then all they need do is click on upload and select first the site folder and then the index file. Is this really going to be so hard?
Do you really think that using Dreamweaver is going to be easier than using iWeb? If these people are not even able to click on publish to a folder and then upload using Cyberduck themselves, then do you really think that they will be able to use Dreamweaver any better? Dream on then if you think this!!

Did anybody else lose Safari history -- other than Apple history -- overnight?

I rely on return visits to many of the websites I access every day. It's so convenient to merely use the Safari History dropdown menu to back track but today, along with other aggravating weirdness, I can no longer access any websites I visited earlier other than Apple. The only reason I've been here today to Apple's crazy environment is because of all the stupid things my computer's suddenly doing today. . . like ousting all web history except their own. What arrogance!
Is anybody else having this problem?
Thanks.

(people do forget to update their signatures you know )
I have the same issue. I was using my MBP Retina on the w/end and all of a sudden my auto complete was not working (for something as simple as news.com.au). I'd normally type in news and it would display the '.com.au' part.
Likewise for all my commonly used sites. They're simply gone. I've observed this before, but not bothered to investigate. This time, I had a large number of sites and it's just plain frustrating.
I have my history set to manually delete, and there's a heap of HDD space left.
As I mentioned, this is not the first time. I've observed this on 10.8 as well.

When i open an mp3 file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

when I open a music file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

If you use iTunes' default settings then when you add a file to iTunes it places a copy of the file in the iTunes media folder and it leaves the original in place. The exception is when you drag it to the Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
It does not convert the file. You can delete the original if you wish.

Online digital photo printing for site other than apple - how get photos easily onto site for uploading

Want to use an online digital photo printing site (eg Kodak/Photobox) in conjunction with selection of photos in iphoto. How do I get the photos from iphoto onto the "other"site? Drage and Drop does not work. Obviously not made easy to use a site other than Apple, but the price is better

Is there other adobe apps that are available for tablets other than apple?

I see that there are several apps that are available for apple users. And I didnt know that photoshop was available to other devices until now. Either i am blind or it isnt as advertised.
Is photoshop the only app available to other devices other than apple?
Also, are these apps available to those who have the creative cloud subscription? or do you have to buy the mobile apps?

Adobe apps on Android. Apps like Ideas and Kuler used to be there but not sure why they were eventually pulled. Not enough interest, maybe? (I believe Kuler eventually went free for iOS.)
You have to buy the apps outright since those are closed electronic marketplaces that have no mechanism to connect to another marketplace (like Creative Cloud). The consolation is that if you stop subscribing to Creative Cloud, you'll keep any apps you've bought.

There is a huge difference between sending email and sending messages.
Yes, I believe you when you say you can only send messages to other Apple products. The iPad is not a telephone, and therefore, it cannot text message. It can only iMessage, which means it can send and receive messages to/from other Apple products if they are on WiFi or an iMessage capable cellular network.
Email, however, is a whole different category. I don't really think you can only exchange email with other Apple products only. Make sure you have correctly identified the symptoms.

HT2954 How can I access my imac mail from a different computer other than Apple?

How can i access my imac email from a differnt computer other than
apple?

If you are using IMAP mail connection (IMAP keeps the mail on the server), then you just configure the other computer's mail client to access the same account.
If you are using a POP mail connection, then the mail is generally downloaded to your Mac and deleted from the server. That is a much more difficult problem to solve. NOTE: Google's gmail does have a POP option that does NOT delete the mail on the server, so it is accessible via the gmail web page.
A lot depends on what you are using for your mail service and whether you are using IMAP or POP protocols.

Where do you find a refurbished Mac Mini other than Apple?

Bare w/ me for a moment. Here's my situation...
I currently have a 2003 1.25 Ghz single processor MDD. I got it on eBay for about $200 a few years ago and it looks almost brand new. Also have about $200 in replacing the hard drive, PRAM battery and adding more RAM to the limit of 2GB. I love the Mac, but it's been doing the infamous start-up problem lately. Have read here that the PRAM battery needs replaced, since it was unplugged for a while. Am in the process of ordering a new battery...
Anyway, if (hope not!) the MDD becomes toast, I can't afford and don't have the time to fix it. If it dies, I'll need to sell (how much is a dead MDD worth?) or give it to another Mac person that would want to work on it... I certainly would not put it in the landfill (I try to be "green.")! It runs Tiger and was thinking about upgrading it to Leopard, but that OS is at least $100 on eBay... Am getting scared that the MDD isn't going to be reliable and I want to stay with a desktop. I do not want an iMac because of they're too expensive and hard to upgrade if needed. Certainly don't want a G5 with all of its cooling etc. problems. Apple is making it hard on chosing a decent desktop, IMO. I am a Windows "switcher" and like Mac and its easy way of doing most things. Certainly don't want to be forced to go back to uh, Windows just because of limited destop choices...!
Anyway, back to the subject matter at hand...
Have looked at used Minis on of course, eBay. Can't believe that a lot of them are going for ridiculous prices, as a new one from Apple is about $700 (which I think is insane!). Of course, my budget is limited and most the ones that are in my price range are the G4's. Have read how "fun" it is to upgrade the G4's etc., and I don't want to even miss with that if I had to! I can't afford the refurbished ones from Apple. They're almost as expensive as a brand new one. Have only found refurblised ones at Power Max, but most of them only have small drives (80GB or less) and less than 1GB of RAM. Are there any other companies that have refurbished Minis available at a decent price? I wouldn't be able to afford much more that $350-$400.
Sorry for rambling on, but I maybe getting at wits end, if the MDD croaks! Just want to see what my possible options are. Thanks.

when it doubt, purchase applecare. we have been successful in applying applecares to cowboom items
and then having them fix small problems, like a bad wireless card, but your milage will vary. apple wont
applecare ebay items, but best buy is a licensed apple dealer so they might go for it.
we have received scratch and dents from cowboom, but so far apple of course won't remove the
dents or scratches of course, but for other problems with refurbished or reconditioned cowboom items
applecare has been most generous
ive also noticed that amazon is a good place to buy new mac products, they had a gold box deal on a mac mini server
just recently for a little over $900.
microcenter is a good place too to buy mac books new too
