Purchasing macbook pro in apple or amazon

If i went into an apple store and told them i can buy a macbook pro 13inch  from amazon for £850ish, but i would buy one today from them if they also threw in a case, a free upgrade to the next OSX and ...apple Tv, and i would pay the full£1000 what would there response likely be?

You'd not get very far... I've purchased from both Amazon and Apple (my 'latest' machine was an Amazon purchase). I didn't save a bundle, but I did save some... also by purchasing AppleCare through Amazon. I likely saved around $300USD total (including no tax - but I had to report that and pay State taxes) but I'm assuming that VAT is part and parcel of the UK Amazon deal?

    Just brought home newly purchased MacBook Pro 15"/Maverick/Retinal Display. To my astonishment, there is NO DVD slot! No one in the store told me about this missing feature. Intolerable, How does one install software? Insert CDs to copy for iTunes?Do I have to purchase an external DVD drive? Is one even available? What a crock!

    I’ve owned Macs since 1990 (IICX my first), mostly desktops. Having had DVD/CD drives in all my previous laptop Macs since 2001 -  (2) G4 Powerbooks,  A 17” Mac Book Pro - and also inspecting a friend’s year-old Mac Book Pro which had the DVD slot - unless someone told me at purchase, I had no reason to know that the Retina display version of the 15” had NO DVD drive. ANYHOW, I fully intended to buy the non-Retina display version, because it was cheaper. Unfortunately by the time I got to the Apple store they were no longer selling the non-Retina display version; all versions were ONLY with the Retina display. And the fine distinction of a DVD vs. a non-DVD drive was not pointed out. So now I have to shell out an additional $80 bucks for an external SuperDrive.

  • I purchased Macbook Pro i5 in March 2011. Now the screen has problem; one vertical blue line is in the screen (at the right side). I noticed this last week when I opened the MacBook, and now I am always seeing it. How to remove it?

    I purchased Macbook Pro i5 in March 2011. Now the screen has problem; one vertical blue line is in the screen (at the right side). I noticed this last week when I opened the macbook and now I am always seening it. I am seeing the blue vertical line always in the screen. However, I am not seeing this line when I open Word, Excel, PowerPoint files (without pictures). But I am seeing this line always when I see movies, pictures, and all the files which have pictures. Please do let me know how can I remove this vertical blue line (blue tint) pernamentally from the screen.

    Backup your files to a external hard drive and disconnect.
    Call Apple and make a warranty call, then take it to the nearest Apple Store etc.
    You can run these things and it might clear your issue or give further informaiton
    Perform a hardware check

    Then see if resetting the SMC/PRAM resolve your issue

    This is not a Mac/Apple issue.  You need to contact the seller and ask where the Windows XP product key is.

  • Purchasing applecare warranty after purchasing macbook pro

    soon I will be ordering a macbook pro via apple's educational discount online store
    is it true that you can wait up to one year after purchasing a new mac to decide if you would like to add the applecare warranty?
    if I decide to do this, would I still be able to purchase the applecare at the discounted educational price even though I am not buying it at the exact same time of purchase as the macbook pro?
    are you not allowed to buy it if something goes wrong w/ the machine before you've even purchased applecare in the first year?
    and if I can indeed to this, buy applecare up to a year later at educational pricing, how would I go about it?
    thank you to anyone who can answer these questions

    Also, if you wait until close to the one year period is up, be sure to register the applecare online before the year is up. i had problems once, i waited a little too long, and was able to get things taken care of through having my college bookstore write a special letter for me related to my purchase date so that i was able to add it on...
    mostly i would recommend don't wait until exactly one year, but aim for a few weeks before the year is over. . .

    Apple's warranty is global.  However, some countries have laws which over rides Apple's warranty.  To check to see if India is involved read the info in EU-wide Consumer Laws article.

  • How can I connect My MacBook Pro to Apple TV?

    I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro to Apple TV but without success. Any ideas?

    How old is your MBP (year and season)?
     > About This Mac > More Info...
    Apple TV is supported on a early 2011 or newer MacBook Pros with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later.  If your MBP is older than that then you can use AirParot to connect to Apple TV.

  • I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.

    I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.  The movie plays fine on the macbook if I'm not trying to airplay.  The airplay works fine if I'm not trying to play a movie from the superdrive.  I think my apple TV is Gen 2.

    If you get a checkerboard pattern it's because Apple block Airplay Mirroring of protected media.
    VLC Player may work.

  • How do I synch my iPhone5, MacBook Pro and Apple TV so that my iTunes downloads appear automatically on all three devices?

    How do I synch my iPhone5, MacBook Pro and Apple TV so that my iTunes downloads appear automatically on all three devices?

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.
