New Macbook screw missing

Hello,
I feel kind of stupid asking this because its one screw however I ordered my macbook off the refurb store two weeks ago. I have just noticed there is a screw missing from the top right if your looking at the macbook bottom up, I would like to have a screw to put into the macbook to make sure the bottom is secure. I'm not sure the best way to go about getting one, help ?
Thanks

+*I would say, that since it is refurbished, that is what you could expect.*+
Refurbs from Apple should not be missing any parts or exhibit any manufacturing issues. Refurbs also come with a full warranty. By all means, contact Apple and see if they'll send you the screw... but they don't tend to offer up parts. Even for something as small as that, they would have you send it in for the repair. The only thing I would potentially be concerned about is "why" the screw was missing. If it was just an oversight, that would be one thing, but if the threads in the hole were stripped, that would be a little more significant. Either way, your machine is fully covered... it's just that the later option would require that parts of the casing be replaced.

Got my new Macbook Air - miss iWeb.

Isn't it part of the iLife Suite? Can't get it at the app store either. What to do?
Thanks

I really can't comment since I don't have a new model. But, if you already have iLife on discs from your other computer then you can reinstall those on the new one. If you purchase them via the App Store then you can re-download them for free.
iWeb becomes essentially obsolete with the disappearance of MobileMe, as I understand. Can't comment about iDVD. I only use iPhoto.

My new macbook pro has little to no sound on all video's. I've changed all the settings but it's still no loud. is there something i've missed trying?

Turn off Find My iPhone in iCloud on the iDevice.
Log out of iMessage, Facetime, remove Apple ID from iTunes & App Store.
Use Settings > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Then set it up as a new iPhone with your own Apple ID.

I bougt a new Macbook pro in 02/26/2013, in 11/25/ 2013, my trackpad become bulging, they exchange the trackpad, but not the bulging battery. I went there yesterday, with different problem, and they said one screw came off from the truckpad again!

I bought a new Macbook pro in 02/26/2013 from Apple Canadian Ices -003. Than I could not use it, because my cursor uncontrollably was jumping around the screen, I was resumed my trackpad become bulging, Than on11/25/ 2013 they changed my trackpad for free, because was manufactoring defect, but not the bulging battery. They said that is do not needed. Since that my cursor is quiet often quivering, I think my Macbook has serious manufacturing defect. But they said no, during a year period I went to the genius bar at least 15 times, with this and similar problems. I went there yesterday, with different problems, and they said one of the screws came off from my truck pad, therefore they need to fix it and change it. I said: - What, how, what is the real problem? A screw does not comes off just like that? They will change my trackpad again, but not the battery. They said has to rebuild the operation system, I'm saving all of my data right now! I would like to exchange the battery too, or maybe get a new Macbook. My Macbook is 2010 China model. How long I would have this trackpad problem? What are you suggesting?

If it's a 2010 as you say towards the end of your post, it's out of warranty. The battery isn't covered in that case. Why don't you just buy a new battery if that's your concern? If it's a 2013 as you say up at the top, it shouldn't have a bulging battery. How do you know it does? If it really does, ask for the store manager and explain the problem.

We have an older IMac (preIcloud) and just purchased a new Macbook Air. Our Iphones are set-up to synch with the IMAC and my calendars on the IMac & the phone look the same. But when I open ICal on the MacBook Air my calendar is missing items? Help..

Are you wanting to import iCal to the MacBook Air. Since iCloud doesn't work with 10.6 OSX you probably don't have any data in iCloud yet?

After restoring backup new macbook with time machine Firefox will not start. says missing profile

after restoring backup on new macbook with time machine Firefox will n to start. It says it is missing profile although profile exists and profile manager will not start. Also reinstalling does not help. Direct after starting Firefox it says profile is missing and then quits Firefox. Please help edit

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

My iPod mini, 4gb is hard to get serviced obviously because they dont make them anymore
It is as simple to get it serviced as the day you purchased it.
How is it hard to get it serviced?
How long have you had your iPod?
i get maybe 4-5 hours of battery life, maybe even 6 if im lucky
That is not good but it's not "terrible".
If you've had it less than a year, send it back to Apple to replace the battery.
thought that i might buy an attachment type accesorie that i plug into the usb port on my ipod
It's called a dock connector, not a USB port.
i found a product in the online store, that i guess you place the ipod mini on, and it gives you up to 20 or so more hours of time but then it says that you have to have a firewire port or cable?
What is it? The firewire port is on the computer, not the iPod.
If the original battery is going bad, the first thing to do is get that sorted out.

Adobe CS4 Indesign plugins missing when installed on brand new MacBook Pro. How can I get these missing plugins? Indd. files will not open

Please Help!
Adobe Chat doesnt deal with old products
Apple Genius Bar says to talk to Adobe.
HAD a 2008 MacBook Pro with Adobe CS4 installed
now have a brand new MacBook Pro (and used my time machine to back up from my old mac) and when trying to open InDesign files - gives a list of plugins that are missing and will not open the document.
I'm a graphic designer- so this is not an option..
Please Help!

You can install Adobe Programs ONLY from the originals installer which is provided from Adobe. Time Machine (which is a form of migration) will not result in working Adobe programs. As Bob said, use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, which is also working for CS versions, to wipe out everything from Adobe and start with a clean installing.
I am not sure, if CS4 is running on Maverick, at least it is not supported officially, your are here alone. It might be so that you have to upgrade your software to a later version.

Missing control panel in illustrator CS6 on new macbook pro

I just installed CS6 on a brand new macbook pro and the top control panel is missing. I am particularly interested in the dimensions of an object and x and y location. This is what my control panel looks like now - no alignment options, x/y locations, dimensions, etc. . . Please help!

Lauren,
At least the appearance of it is in your screenshot.
What happens if you select an object?
If it refuses to show up in the right way, you may try the list (5) is unlikely); you may decide to go straight to 6).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Missing install disk on new MacBook Pro 15"

I just received a new MacBook Pro 15" from CDW. There were no install/operating system disk's with the computer. In the past my other mac's have come with the install disks.
Is this a new procedure for Apple?
I searched for discussions and on the internet but can not find a concise answer for this.

Look under the Apple menu for your OS X version, if it's 10.6.x then your missing your disks and you need to get them, either from CRW or Apple using your serial number.
If it's 10.7 then it's Lion and it doesn't come with disks, a recovery partition that requires a strong reliable fast internet connection to download and reinstall it.

HT1338 Migration assistant problems setting up new Macbook pro.... System preferences will not open and Mozilla products do not open "profile missing"???

Used migration assistant to set up new Macbook pro from old macbook pro. Many "profile" problems.
Will not even open "System Preferences" for user whose profile info was transferred. (Will for "Administrator")
Cannot use Firefox or Thunderbird, profile missing.
Help???

Launch the Console application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search, and look under "User Diagnostic Reports" for crash logs related to the application(s). Select the most recent one and post the contents -- the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report.

Since Yosemity and new iTunes i cannot play movies on macbook pro (missing HDCP ability)? Why is that?

Since Yosemity and new iTunes i cannot play movies on macbook pro (missing HDCP ability)? Why is that?
regards Peter

Yesterday I had Apple phone support, they could partly solve the problem. At least I can use my Mac again to view movies but the problem of less resolution in itunes only is still there. My brother has the same macbook, same yosemity and same itunes. It works. Obviously it has to do with other SW on the Mac. Yesterday we removed Displaylink SW (i believe that was the name of the SW?) from my Mac. Perhaps it is not yet compatible with yosemity?

Missing hard drive memory on brand new Macbook Pro

Hi all,
Forgive my lack of technical knowledge here, but I've just bought a new Macbook Pro Retina, and despite migrating literally about 1GB worth of files, the system is showing approx. 22GB of storage space being taken up by 'other.'
I know these questions are asked a lot, but could anybody help me out with what might be eating up this space and how I can reclaim the it? I appreciate that devices rarely come with the storage space cited on the box, but that seems excessive.
Thanks.

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside a photo or iTunes library will corrupt the library. Changes to such a library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install the app in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
For ODS:
security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
For GP:
security execute-with-privileges /A*/GrandPerspective.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password.
The application window will open behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will eventually show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Used Setup Assistant to move files onto new Macbook Pro, but things missing

I followed the prompt and used the back up of my old Macbook from my time capsule to setup my new Macbook pro, and even though my documents seem to be there, my itunes library shows nothing, and my iphoto library is empty as well. I checked all of the boxes. Any idea where I go from here?

On this I'd recommend contacting AppleCare (you have 90 days of free phone support) and they can help you get those libraries over. You can find the phone number in your area using this advice letter:

Install Flash from CS5 on new Macbook Pro errors

Hi,
I just tried to install my CS5 Master Collection on my new MacBook Pro. All the programs installed properly except Flash Pro. I understand why I have errors for Flash Player but the rest, I'm not sure how to move forward to get this installed. I tried opening Flash Pro anyway but it tells me to reinstall. I have tried 2 times now.
Any thoughts? I know I'm missing something or am I screwed since I'm using a Mac, which hates flash and CS6 is out on top of that factor?
