Replacing my 2 week old Macbook Pro.

i've had my MacBook Pro for about 2 weeks now
within the first week i noticed problems with my display, well lid.
it has bubbles on the top of the lid, the edge of the screen is popped out, and the lid won't close evenly
now, if i go to an Apple Store and tell them my problems with a 2 WEEK OLD MACBOOK PRO,
will they replace my current MacBook Pro? or will they just replace the screen?
and i do have Apple Protection Plan for 3 years..

well is it possible for them to fix it there?
oh and how long could that take for them to send it to apple?
sorry if im in anyway pushy or something
its just this is my first macbook pro and i dont want to be going back and forth to the apple store whch is an hour away from me.. thank you

  • I am going to replace my 3 year old MacBook Pro with a new MacBook Pro Retina display machine.  I have been told by Apple that I can use the Migration Assistant ON MY WIRELESS NETWORK (no cables) to transfer data... I've read this can take AGES.. True?

    I am planning to replace my 3+ year old MacBook Pro with a new MacBook Pro, Retina display... I have been told by "chat" on the Apple site that I can transfer my data wirelessly... on my network.. Is is a good option?  I don't want to invest in cables if I can help it... since the old machine has firewire and the new one has thunderbolt!  Will the wireless transfer take forever... as in 30-50 hours???  I've been hearing these horror stories...

  • My 1 week old macbook pro battery is dying.

    my 1 week old macbook pro battery is dying. i charged it to 100% then went to bed and this morning it is at 32% when turned on. What the heck?

    my light does not flash in sleep mode.
    Which means it isn't sleeping. Run the Console and put the computer sleep. Experiement with the sleep command and closing the lid. Does it sleep with the sleep command but not the lid? Does it not sleep in either case. In the Console, by default, you'll see all the messages that are logged. Pay attention to when you close the lid or execute the sleep command and pay attention to the log entries that occur at that time and shortly afterwards. You might find a sleep terminated type message which will give you a clue about why it isn't sleeping.
    There are also programs that are known to cause insomnia. At the head of my list are all it one printer software because the drivers often constantly look for an incoming fax or the keypress from the AIO printer console.
    One more thing - if you have been putting it to sleep and then disconnecting USB or FireWire devices - that's the problem.

  • 1 week old macbook pro with 2.5 hrs battery time

    I love this product but battery life is driving me insane.
    I updated my old macbook pro to the new unibody. I transfered my pre system using time machine. I just realized that when fully charged my new computer has 2.5 hrs of battery time. This is also with better battery life selected under sys. preferences. this cant be normal right?
    should I reinstall SL? you think my old macbook pro transfered some unwanted system bits?
    thanks in advance

    take it in to the apple store, i'm 100% sure they will replace it free of charge, just got mine replaced today, it was 6 months old holding about 3.5 hours of charge

  • Replacing 3 weeks old MacBook Pro for new model

    Well i purchased a MacBook Pro 13" just three weeks ago and now there is a new model launched which is of the same cost now i want to change my MacBook for the new one so how can that be possible??
    will i have to pay more because i got mine for same cost just three weeks ago...
    Will be waiting for reply

    You've passed the 14-day 'no questions asked' return policy so your best best would just to be to sell on eBay or some other online retailer that takes 'used' computer equipment (though your best bet is eBay).
    Sorry,

  • Week old Macbook Pro 13" Mid 2010 alread has pixel out

    I noticed the other day, I've already got a pixel out on my screen on my week old 13" MacBook Pro Mid 2010. Is there any quick fix to this or am I going to have to call Apple and send in my macbook after I pretty much just got it? Also, am I going to need to back up anything on my macbook before I send it in, or will they even mess with anything except for the screen? Thanks!

    I would definitely check the defective product/return policy from where you bought it (if you didn't get it from Apple directly). I know that in the past it has been "acceptable" for a laptop or LCD display to have a couple of dead pixels, and store or manufacturer returns/replacements were only issued if there were a certain number of them (I've seen a minimum of 5 to 9, depending on the manufacturer) could be proven dead.

  • 3 week old Macbook Pro 2011 now has dot in middle of screen?

    I bought my Macbook pro 2011 Hi-res 15" Glossy - Configured to Order  3 weeks ago from the Apple Online Store. After installing and playing a game this week, I notice that a grey dot appeared in the middle of the screen, especially noticeable when browsing on safari, with a white background.
    Is this a dead pixel or stuck pixel? what should I do? What can Apple do?

    Do you have access to an Apple Store? If so, take your Mac in for evaluation and ask. We are just fellow users, so we can't speak for Apple.
    Pixel problems are a judgement call--Apple will determine what should be done on a case by case basis. If Apple determines that the display is unsatisfactory because of this flaw, you might possibly get a replacement display, especially since your problem is in the center.
    Good luck!

  • 1 week old macbook pro 17 keeps freezing randomly?

    Hi,  I just bought a 17 inch 2011 early winter macbook pro a week ago and I upgraded my computer with the lion the second day. My problem started the third day of the purchase i started noticing lag in the beggining especially when i open the appstore the beach ball comes up and won't ever go away.yesterday my computer been freezing randomly i've been restarting it whenever this happens The freezes happen most frequently after the computer has been to sleep and woken up by opening the lid.. I have downloaded all the apple updates and my apps are all up to date I dont have anything on the startup,I have 690 gb free on my hard drive  I tried:     - deleting apps from running on the startup  - no widgets  - Stopping Bluetooth and wireless  - not opening i tunes  Nothing worked. I really don't know what to do,this is the first time i use mac.please help.

    I would prefer to have acopy on Lion on a Flash memory or a DVD in order not to redownload it every time again. I guess you didn't take a copy of it after downloading from App Store and proceeded to install directly, right?
    Ok, if that was the case,
    - Open the App Store again, click on purchased icon on the top, you will find the Lion as installed..
    - Click on purchased again while holding down options key (alt), the INSTALLED botton will be replaced by INSTALL botton.
    - Click it and wait untill in downloads againg.
    - After finishing download don't proceed in installing it again using the wisard. Quit the installer and go to the Applications folder, find "Install Mac OS X Lion.app", right click and select show packge contents and go to "/Contents/SharedSupport/installESD.dmg".
    This is the image disk of Lion, use Disk Utility "Spotlight it" to burn it on a DVD so will have a bootable DVD which can be used to reinstall your autherized copy of lion.
    - Restart your machine while holding Options key to get the boot options.
    - Select the DVD, a Disk utility will appear again, use it to erase the Macintosh HD and reinstall Lion again

  • Glitches and visual issues on 3 week old MacBook Pro - size issues as well. Can Apple help?

    I ordered my Macbook Pro in September 2012. I received it in the mail on September 14, 2012. For the past week and a half, there have been visual glitches, as well as keyboard twitching on-screen (garbled/slow typing on screen). This is a brand new computer, and no damage has occurred to it at all. This was very expensive, and I want a quality product. Will Apple repair or replace the device?
    Also - I ordered the 15 inch model, and have found out that it is too large for me. Is it possible to switch this model for the 13 inch model instead? (Although the return period is over?)
    Thanks

    We''re just as good as you for guessing answers to question #1. Only "normal" everyday Mac users here, no official Apple presence (except for the invisible censor that will strike inappropriate posts unseen). Make good use of your one-year base warranty.
    As for question #2, I think you've answered it yourself. Had a 14 days no-questions-asked return period that was squandered, Apple will offer no further respite. Will have to sell it on the classifieds of the local rag, eBay, Craigslist, whatever, recoup what you can and try again. Is why there are so many points of sale nowadays where you can go play with the toys before plonking down the cash.

  • One week old Macbook Pro 17" fuzzy green screen

    I have had my Macbook Pro 17" for one week and enjoying it. When I awakened it from sleep, it had fuzzy green lines throughout the display. After browsing the internet for about an hour the fuzzy green lines disappeared and then reappeared randomly. Any suggestions about why this is happening and how to fix this. Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    This sounds like it could be a hardware problem of some sort. Best thing would be to take it to an Apple Store for evaluation. Since it's only a week old, you may be able to get an exchange rather than a repair.
    Good luck!

  • I have an 11 week old Macbook Pro that has 15 charge cycles and the design capacity is at 91%, is that normal or should I take my laptop into the store?

    Hi, everyone I'm just wondering whether my battery life is normal. I've only had this macbook pro for a few weeks. According to coconut battery, as well as the information under about this macbook. The macbook is 11 weeks old and after 15 charge cycles it is at 91% design capacity? Is this normal or do I have a faulty macbook?

    The batteries are supposed to hold 80% at 1,000 charges now - not sure when this started but was a couple of years ago maybe.
    Personally I would not worry too much. If you actually notice a signigicantly bad drop in battery life after some time, instead of just by looking at numbers on charts, then yes take it to Apple, but for now, just enjoy your computer.
    After more charge cycles, it may become more accurate too - when I first got my MacBook Air it was on about 94% after only 15 charges or so, now it's on about 620 and is on 84% or so which is on par with the 1000 charges -> 80%.

  • 2 week old MacBook Pro doesn't charge.

    My 2 week old 13" MacBook Pro won't charge, I worked on it until my battery was completely depleted.
    Now when I connect my charger it won't charge, also the LED doesn't light up.
    Is my 2 week old charger broken?
    (sorry for my bad English)

    Call AppleCare for warranty service.

  • 2 week old MacBook Pro not charging

    I bought a MacBook Pro only 2 weeks ago, and to my surprise, I am already having problems with it. Although the top tool bar shows the battery as charging, and it doesnt lose power while the power cord is connected, it is not charging. The battery power is stuck at 27%, unless I unplug the cord, which obviously causes the power to drain.
    Why wont my brand new MacBook Pro charge?

    > Why wont my brand new MacBook Pro charge?
    Reset the PMU (power management unit) and re-calibrate the Battery ?
    If this fails to make any difference call Apple.

  • 1-Week-Old Macbook Pro won't turn on.

    About a week after I bought it, my Macbook Pro unexpectedly shut off while I was watching a video, and would not turn back on.  When I tried to turn it back on, I got the buzz and the little white light, but there was no chime, nothing on the screen, and no keyboard lights.  After about ten minutes, it turned back on normally.  I bought it on Amazon (Macbook Pro MD 102LL/ 13.3" [Newest Version]), and I'm wondering what is going on here.  Does this imply inherent damage to the hardware?  Should I return it now and save myself the headache?  If anyone has seen this before, has it recurred? Any imput or feedback would be appreciated.  Thank you all!

    Take it in for service.

  • My new (2 weeks old) Macbook Pro, wont send video output signal to beamer... What can I do?  I have the adapter to vga but it does not work...

    Hi, I have a new MacBook Pro and I dont get video output to a beamer although I have the regular
    Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter and it works fine with my older MacBook...
    Thanks a lot for your tips...

    That should work. When you first hook it up it will probably have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
    In SystemPreferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.
    If you also want audio you'll need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate input plugs on your TV http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=macboo k+audio+cable&sprefix=macbook+audio+cable&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+audio+cable
