Can Apple replace my macbook pro (mid 2012) retina's battery if I think that the battery health has gone bad/in need of and renewal?

Can Apple replace my macbook pro (mid 2012) retina's battery if I think that the battery health has gone bad/in need of and renewal???
I've had my Macbook for about 11 months now and i use it every day; its gone though about 420 cycles of charging and using the power, and i noticed the battrey preformance has decreased (as expected). The problem isn't sevear yet but it would comfort me knowing that i could replace the battery in the near future
Please contact me or answer the question if you know anything about this!

No only if they think under warranty/AppleCare, but your likely able to pay for a new battery if they have them, which they might not yet since it's such a new machine still.
BTW, I have a Early 2011 17" MBP, 27 months old, charges to 97% and has only 14 cycles.

likely display inverter board.
did you get your inverter board replaced already?
Did you have a question?
If the diagnostic in shop indicates same, thats 1000X better than anyone can do online in "diagnosis" (not really genuine diagnosis of course)

Will apple replace my macbook pro?

Hi
I have a problem with the trackpad on my macbook pro 13''. not all the time but sometimes it feels loose and when you click down it it it clicks twice instead of once. i took it to the apple store and they altered the trackpads clicking space beneath so it clicks down further but this has not helped so i was wondering if apple will replace my macbook pro. however there are a couple of small scratches on the shell of the macbook pro which obviously have no effect on the working order of the trackpad but will apple refuse to replace my macbook with this cosmetic damage? also i would also like to know if anyone else has had the same problem with a loose trackpad that doesn't click correctly. thank you

robc10,
if your MacBook Pro is no longer in its warranty period, then they will not replace it. If it is still in its warranty period, refer to its warranty in your region to see whether replacement would be an available option for you.

Lost iPhoto when Apple replaced damaged MacBook Pro hard drive

My son and daughter-in-law recently had to replace their MacBook Pro hard drive. Apple did the replacement, but they got it back without iPhoto. Isn't that standard software when you purchase a MacBook Pro? Shouldn't it be part of the replacement, too?

If your computer shipped with Lion, follow the directions here to redownload the iLife apps:
Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion
If you erase install OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion installed, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
After installation, start (up) from OS X.
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to complete installation of your applications.

How much to replace broken macbook pro screen??

how much to replace broken macbook pro screen??

Few thoughts:
There is a minuscule possibility that you can successfully convince the Genius that the damage was not due to abuse or mishandling. And if it is still under warranty, a new free screen will be yours. Don't get your hopes up too high, though...
If a Retina, the cost will be so high that maybe selling it for parts and getting a new one might be a better idea.
Same may apply if it is very old. Not cause the screen costs arm+leg, but because you will be sinking lots of cash onto a sinking ship.
If handy with tools, can explore PowerBookMedic.com or IFixIt.com for parts prices and howto.

Are there widespread issues with macbook pro lcds having to be replaced on computers less than a year and a half old

are there any know issues with respect to lcd displays going bad on macbook pros. my computer which sits on a desk and has never traveled outside the home needs a whole new lcd replacement. Its a year and three months old.Pretty bad for an expensive laptop

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Some MacBooks Pro with Retina display have got problems with the display, related to a display manufacturer. However, in this case, it's a common issue and Apple is replacing or repairing all of these computers for free.
In your case, probably it was bad luck. Computers fail, and maybe you have bad luck and your computer has got a defective part that has to be replaced. Fortunately, this rarely happens, and most of the users are happy with their MacBooks Pro

MacBook Pro LCD Issue

I have an aluminum MacBook Pro 15" with Intel core 2 duo and GeForce 8600M GT.
Starting from this evening, the LCD screen shown for the whole size, many vertical green lines 1 pixel widht. The external monitor connected to the DVI work well, so it seems an LCD issue. Any one experienced same issue and/or can suggest me a solution?
Thanks in advance
Claudio

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Since the external works well, it does sound like a display issue, and could be a hardware fault in the display itself. If so, the solution would probably be to replace the display.
If you have access to an Apple Store, it would be worth making an appointment at the genius bar to have a trained professional look at it in person and give you an opinion.
For future reference, you do have the graphics chip which is covered by this program:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
Since the external has good video, you probably don't have that problem now, but keep it in mind if you start having problems on the external as well.
Good luck!

Screen Replaced On Macbook Pro Now No Boot

I had 2 separate incidents with replacing the lcd on macbook pro's. After replacing the lcd it boots up fine the first time then after a reset or shut down i get the status bar loading with spinning wheel. i know a re-install will fix it and I've tried disk repair with no luck im just wondering if anyone else has had this issue with replacing the LCD or has any advice on what could be causing this. Thank you

Yes.... But most of the time, users take their MacBooks for repairs in the Apple repair centres or Apple stores for a flat depot rate (Out of warranty or self damaged machines). So, it was just my own thought.......
And its a bit unlikely that the OP has replaced the LCD on his own....
However, the OP has not yet disclosed about the people involved in the LCD repair. So the thoughts of either you or me are just “Hypothetical”....

Macbook Pro LCD Screen Works Sometimes / On/Off

For several months my (late 2007, 15 in) macbook pro screen was not working at all. I took it to apple at one point and they said I would need to replace my screen which would cost at least $400 or $600 I can't remember how much. I just knew it was too much.
Then recently I found out that my model had the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor and Apple found out those had a problem in a number of those computers so they are supporting it by replacing the mother board.
So... I got my new mother board recently but the screen was STILL not coming on at all after the repair. One conclusion was obvious I needed a new screen or just use the computer as a desktop with an external monitor which is what I've been doing.
So now, here's the rub:
My SCREEN MAGICALLY HAS COME BACK ON just last night and this morning... it was working and then Poof it went off again.... now again it's magically come back on.
When working there isn't any streaks or anything that appears damaged on the screen at all. My guess is that there is some cable or some connector point that is loose and somehow like a short makes it go on and off.
Now, part of what has been going on since yesterday is that I just replaced my hard drive so I've had the cover of the computer off... somehow I did something to they keyboard so I'm having to use an USB keyboard right now (might have to replace that too). So... somehow my taking off the cover and putting it back on a few times must have touched something that is making it work again.
What could it be? Any ideas? I'd be grateful for any advice that would keep me from having to try buying a new screen as I understand I have to replace the whole piece.
Thanks,
phil

That's a very interesting offer. There are a finite number of LCD manufacturers, and it could be there are models that can go in different computers. The construction of the display and the cables would be different for different computers. It would depend on whether the LCD is specifically configured for Apple or if Apple uses an "off the shelf" LCD and then configures the housing and cables.
Generally, in manufacturing, you try to use as many off the shelf parts as you possibly can. For example, you would use standard screws and fasteners unless you had a special need for a non-standard one. If there is already a LCD on the market that meets your specs and your needs, then it would make sense to use it rather than to have something special made.
I still suspect that the problem will turn out to be a connection one rather than one with the LCD itself. There have been cases where the flex cable developed damage from opening and closing the computer. This would be the first thing to check. A break in the trace or traces in a flex cable would allow for intermittent working of the LCD, depending on whether the broken traces were touching or not.
If the price sounds reasonable, then it sounds like you don't have much to lose by letting the guy have a shot at it. I wonder if he would let you watch while he works--it might be very illuminating.
Good luck!

Replacement 17" MacBook Pro Display: Report

Yesterday I received a replacement display for my 17" MacbookPro. The new display is near perfect. It replaces one that had unevenness and bleeding around the bottom of the screen. Finally I have a good screen. There was one dead pixel near the bottom left of the screen. Because it is so near the edge there is no use in trying to get another one.

Hi,
Good news, I am happy for you . I just got my third display, which is as grainy as the second one...
The first display was of very good quality. Unfortunately, after a couple of months, a weird gray stain appeared in the upper part of the display (it looked like an artifact behind the glass). So, I asked for a replacement and was very disappointed by the grainy aspect of the new display. That's when I became aware of the whole issue with MacBook Pro displays...
Do you happen to know what is the manufacturer of your new display? If you could let us know, that may help us in interactions with Apple...
Following the instructions on http://peewaiweb.free.fr/#whatisthisallabout, I was able to determine that my poor display is a Samsung one (LTN170P2). It's pretty easy, you just grab the SwitchResX control panel from http://www.madrau.com/html/SRX/DL.shtml, click on "Export DDC" and find the LCD model type in the generated file.
I'd be very interested to hear about people who are happy with their display, so that I can tell Apple Support what brand I would like to get as replacement...
Cheers,
Olivier

Replacing SSD MacBook Pro mid 2014

Hi all.
I Would like to buy a mid 2014 MacBook pro retina 13" but there is only 128Gb SSD on it. I read about welded ssd. Is it true?
can I replace this SSD after buying? Do you which kind of SSD do I have to buy?
thank you.

They may be soldered to the motherboard, if that's what you mean. But there are no compatible replacements. You can check regularly with OWC to see if and when replacements are made available.

Is it worth replacing the MacBook Pro with an iPad Air?

I've been sat in the realms of contemplation for some time now. Since the release of the iPad Air it looks as though it is now possibly a viable option for me to replace my aging MacBook Pro. I essentially only use my laptop for photographs and music. My photo collection is about 11GB in size when they are in their original format outside of iPhoto. (iPhoto bloats it up to 33GB). My music collection is miniscule and we're talking only about 2GB in size, as it's only stuff I have purchased from the iTunes Store, so I know I can listen to this whenever I want to by re-downloading specific albums or tracks with "Purchases in the Cloud." At the moment I think the Macbook Pro is more than I actually need for what I use it for. Things like document creation etc. isn't an issue for me as I've used pages previously on my laptop and my documents are iCloud synced.
For me, I'd be looking at 64GB or 128GB capacity, as I use a Sony NEX-6 DSLR so the files as JPEG are large. I'm not one to keep every single photo I have taken, I'm kind of "minimalist" so out of say 400 photos I'd only keep 100 of the best ones.
I have read that some people have used services such as Dropbox for additional cloud storage, but I'm looking at using a networked hard drive that supports iOS so I can back up my photos to a physical drive at home should anything detrimental happen to the iPad (if I did get one).
I'm curious to hear if anyone has gone down the route of replacing their laptop or even desktop with a high-capacity iPad, and hear how they've got on with it. This is becoming a more frequently asked question after researching the vast spaces of the Internet, but there are no answers specific for my needs!
Message was edited by: C.Moore - Spelling & grammar corrections.

An iPad is a great device, but it's no computer replacement. It lacks the file sharing/structure that comptuers have and the ability to easily get files onto/off it without the internet.
That said, if you still have your desktop and use it for most of the computing work and basically just want a photo viewer, check your e-mail device, then it may work for you.
The networked harddrive will be the hard part. Since the iPad lacks a file manager anything you use on it must have an app so that you can access it. And that app also must be allowed to 'send' your files to another app. So that may be what you really need to research. The ability and ease of using a network drive to do the file sharing you want.

Do I need to replace my Macbook Pro?

I have a Mid 2009 Macbook Pro that has started to give me lots of issues. My question is should I try to find a way to fix these problems, or do I simply need a new laptop? I am a college student and really use my laptop for just basic things--assignments and watching Netflix
Memory: 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Processor: 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
1. Trackpad- I've had the trackpad replaced twice, the first time it cracked, and the second time (just 2 months ago) it stopped working sporadically. Now it was occasionally stop working, but is fine the majority of the time.
2. Fan- The fan gets so extremely loud I avoid taking my laptop to class. It will start on full blast at random times--even if I'm doing something that should not require a bunch of effort from my laptop like internet browsing or typing a paper. I know some noise is normal, but it seems really excessive to me.
3. Display- Recently I've had issues with the display. They usually go away if I just restart, but it's happening more and more frequently. It's like parts of my screen swap places, and my shortcut/app things get replaced with random strings of letters. I really wish I could explain it better!
As a college student, I NEED my laptop to be reliable so I have to get this figured out in the next few days. Any insight from y'all would really help. Can I fix these issues or do I need to just suck it up and buy a new one? Thanks!

With the multiple problems, I would probably replace a 5 year old computer. However, I do not like to spend other people's money....up to you really.
