Water damage from 6 months ago

I have a macbook pro that was water damaged over 6 months ago and it now boots but trackpad click doesnt work, number keys, "z" key and computer shuts off after 20 minutes. any suggestions on what to do? will apple be able to repair this?

The Apple technicians are in the best position to answer your question definitively.  They have the diagnostic tolls at their disposal and we on this forum can give guesses and opinions, not facts. 
Please understand that once liquid has penetrated a MBP, it becomes a crap shoot as far as it reliability is concerned.  There may be corrosion that will eventually cause serious functional problems.  But it may be the case that it will survive a normal 'life span'.
Book a genius bar appointment and see what they have to say.
Ciao.

  • Need to combine back ups from months ago and current...help!

    All of my contacts were deleted when I shut down/restarted my iPhone 4S. The last back up on iTunes was many months ago, but I have many new calendar, note, photo etc entries since then that I cannot loose.  I performed a new back up on iTunes and have since activated iCloud as well. I now need to restore my contacts from the dated backup on I tunes, but then I will also need to somehow incorporate my latest backup from either iTunes or iCloud, but not sure how to go about any of this without loosing information. When I go to iTunes and click restore from backup it shows as only option iphone, not the two different backup dates (may be that if I click it will give me the option of the diff dates, I just was scared to click it in case another option isn't given....although now that I write this I see nothing to loose as the old info is gone so maybe a mute point). Anyway, is there any way for me to restore my old back up from months ago on itunes and then also restore the latest newer info too?
    Just FYI...spoke with Verizon, apple and many diff blogs about trying to just restore my contacts from wherever they went, but no luck with anything so now stuck trying to restore from very old backup on iTunes.

    fwiw
    It seems that in a case like this you'd need to reset the device to factory settings and then restore from iCloud backup.
    Sadly the reset to factory settings could cause more trouble than its worth.
    Apple's iCloud backup, could, but does not let the user restore one app or its data.
    You'll also find that even though that App's data is in the cloud, you as its owner do not have access to it.
    Hope it helps/

  • Is there a way to recover deleted files from months ago?

    Is there a way to recover deleted files from months ago?

    Extremely unlikely, as they will have been over-written several times.
    Possibly a professional data rescue firm can try, but that will cost you a four-figure sum.

  • Has anyone had deleted photo's from months ago reappear? I have a 3gs running iso4

    Has anyone had deleted photo's from months ago reappear? I have a 3gs running iOS 4.3.2

    Justin,
    Ok, if that's the way it works that's the way it works. Atleast until you suggest a feature change and it gets reprogrammed. And an option (other than the SHOW DATE/SHOW TIME) is not necessary, just the time showing WHEN the channel info disappears.
    I have also seen and heard what looks like RF interference. A small amount of line noise (a couple partial lines only) and crackling that does not happen all the time. Is it possible that some device or appliance in my house or the houses on either side of my home can cause RF interference with the FIOS equipment??
    As for the issue with the guide, IMHO that sux! Basically you are telling me I am forced to pay an extra $8/month just to have the channel guide? Even with basic Cable (Time Warner) a guide was available! How about a guide channel like TWC

    1) That is the way it works. There is no option to change this, other than the option to display either the channel number or the time. Actually the time is displayed once the channel is changed when the time in the STB reaches the next minute, so the delay can be very short or up to one minute.
    2) Most of the time I do not see the flash or hear the pop. But occasionally I do, on any channel change, SD or HD. I have never been able to figure out what causes it to start doing that, or what causes it to stop. It starts, does it for a while, and then I realize it is no longer doing it.
    3) No Guide on the DCT-700. Plus no VOD, widgets, or HD. If you want the Guide, you have to get one of the 6xxx or 7xxx STBs.

  • How to stop iPad from downloading emails from months ago

    I have a bellsouth.net mail account and my iPad keeps receiving emails from months ago and says I have over 10,000 emails yet to receive. How do I stop this and get only recently sent emails. Help it's driving me crazy,

    Hi-
    Using your account page on your email server, there should be a way to delete all old emails.
    I have mine set to delete automatically after a set time period. In this fashion, all received emails, whatever the device, are only recent mails.

  • TS3899 Set up email on my iphone 5c and now it is downloading every email I have ever received.  Even old emails from months ago, how do I make it stop?

    Set up email on my iphone 5c and now it is downloading every email I have ever received.  Even old emails from months ago, how do I make it stop?

    When creating an antiquated POP account with a new email client, all received email that remains at the incoming mail server is downloaded as new and unread email.

  • Can old files from months ago be deleted?

    I am running out of space on the Time Machine external HD. On the external drive there are many folders from months past. Can these folders that Time Machine backed up from months ago be deleted without effecting any of the saved files?
    If the answer is yes, how many months back can I delete without compromising the current back up files?

    You shouldn't have to delete anything; Time Machine will delete the oldest one(s) automatically when there isn't room for new ones.
    But if you really want to, you can delete individual backups, or all backups of selected items, via Time Machine (do not use the Finder or Terminal). See #12 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    If you have other data on the disk, in the same partition, that may be a problem. See #3 in the FAQ.

  • I am having problems with mail after upgrading to snow leopard. When I send an email to somebody, I would get a reply from them but the content of the reply were old emails from months ago. Any ideas what's going on?

    For ex. The subject of my email was "List of kids dancing this weekend". Then i would compose my email and send it to the recepient. They responded to my email with the same subject "List of kids dancing this weekend" but the content of the email was the email I received from somebody else months ago. This "phenomenon" happened serveral times already. Please help!

    Turns out the auto-complete database is a SQLite DB stored in this folder.  Probably the ownership and/or permissions are messed up on your system.  Mine (under Snow Leopard) show  ownership by me and rw privilege for all files in that directory, including MailRecents....

  • Cookies reappear after deleting from months ago!

    OK This just happened and is very, very odd.  I am in the habit of deleted my cookies pretty frequently.  When I go to delete them at the end of the day there is maybe 80 or 90 or so at the most.
    So tonight I deleted the cookies, and they were all gone.  Then I restart safari and log in to 1 or 2 websites.  Usually I wind up with maybe 4-5 that appear after a login.  So I check and there are over 1,000!  And they are from sites I visited months and months ago!  So immedeatly I think it must be the iCloud safari sync.  I go and check that and nope it is off.
    Anyone have any idea how this happened!?  Very strange!
    Thanks in advance.

    Empty Caches
    1. Safari > Preference > Advanced

  • Charged $299 for water damage, from an occassional rain drop in top charging port

    I have been charged $299 for water damage to my motorola Droid. The water is from an occassional rain drop coming in the top charging port. I contend that is a design flaw. Anybody else run into this?
    Subject shortened.
    Message was edited by: Admin Moderator

    Of course it is a design flaw.  That is why I have a Casio Commando. My first smartphone was a Verizon blackberry and it was the worst for water damage...it got a foggy screen after being through a rainstorm inside a water resistant bicycle handlebar bag.  No phone should suffer damage from casual contact with water, folks.  People are 70% water after all.  You could put some of these in your pocket, go jogging, and ruin the phone...sort of defeats the purpose of the phone don't you think?
    Good to see that Verizon was so reasonable about repairing it, don't you think?

  • How do I retreive deleted email from months ago?

    How do I retreive email that was deleted months ago and no longer available in the trash bin?

    For anything gone several months ago it's just gone.  There is a retrieval feature you have in your account but it only goes back two weeks or so for emails deleted from the Trash folder.  You can see it by right-clicking on the Trash folder and then on "Recover Deleted Items".

  • HT5047 I have downloaded Mr. Fone, my question is there anyway I can retrieve deleted text messages from months ago?  I have the phone almost two years.

    I would just like to know if I can retrieve any of my old text messages?  I have downloaded that Mr. Fone, but not really too computer savvy and just looking for direction.

    I have no real faith in these alleged data recovery tools. If the text messages were deleted months ago and you were still using the device, the chances are slim, even if that program works.
