Water spill MBP, apple said they'd replace destroyed parts with refurbished ones?

So after I spilled water under my MBP, I decided to call apple and let them know what had happened. They said that they'd replace any destroyed parts with refurbished ones. Will this cost anything? If the damage is excessive will they replace my MBP?

since water damage is not covered by warranty, I cant imagine they would replace parts for free. They certainally will not give you a new Mac as the damage was caused by you. I would expect that you would have to pay, but that is up to Apple. If they do replace parts for free, you are in the minority and should be ever thankful to them and keep liquids far away from your mac in the future.

Does apple replace iPhone 5 the used one with refurbished one

I got replaced my Iphone5 with some issues and when i set my back up data
I need to log in my Apple ID... and It just popped up with unknown apple ID.. even it was not one ID.. there were couple of different ID...
so.. i thought maybe the ID were preveous owners?
I did not want to get refurbished phone..;; coz I already had the issue with my phone before... and I dont want to go through AGAIN!!!
Is it normally? Apple use refurbished one to replacement?? and.. even.. It looks like not a one time they replace with this iphone5...

Yes, Apple replaces defective phones with refurbished ones. However they wipe them clean, and guarantee they have no flaws before giving them to customers.
Is very unlikely they would leave someone elses Apple ID on it.
There were some issues with the iTunes and Apple stores that may have been responsible for odd apple iDs popping up, as several users reported as much.

My security questions are right, but I've been froze out because Apple said they're wrong. How do I fix this?

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
    1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
          Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
          bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
          'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
          ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
          phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
     2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
     3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.

My iPhone gets really hot everytime I put it to charge. Is that normal or should I take it to apple so they can change it for a new one ?

Ok so my iPhone gets really hot every time I put my phone to charge is that normal or should I take it to apple so they can replace the phone for a new one ?

Really hot, as in too hot to touch? Have you tried a reset, or a restore on the device. You need to do those things before you take it to Apple for evaluation. It is Apple's decision if it should be replaced.

Before installing a new drive - it is generally better to install it in a external usb enclosure and connect it to your Macbook so you can format/erase the new drive and make an exact clone of the drive you wish to install, unless you plan on doing a clean install.

Why do they not replace the iphone with a box piece

I had bought my iphone 2 months back.And yesterday I had noticed that there is a small white dot where the network carrier name is displayed.It is clearly visible when I set the wall paper as any black photo or dark coloured photo.And it is also visible when I switch on the phone.It is visible always.I had spoken to the Iphone customer care and they said it is a hardware problem and that they will replace my phone.My problem is that I am not satisfied with the way the are replacing it.They are just going to give a phone in hand.It is not a box piece.My question is why they cannot give me a box piece? I had bought a box piece.And in the previous discussions there people who have had problem with the replaced iphones.I want them to replace it with a box piece and take back the old box peice which has a problem.
APPLE HAS TO REPLACE WITH A BOX PIECE.
When its a deffect why dont they replace it with a box piece.

Sushil2john,
I agree with your reasonable expectation completely.
I can buy any piece of electronics at Costco, Wal-mart, Best Buy, Staples... etc and return it for a new one if the item I purchased turns out to be a lemon.
And as far as the poster that said you get a new shell, battery and screen, well that is nonsense. I talked to the Tech that was setting up my replacement phone and when I asked him about what I would get he would only say that it would look new and if I was concerned about the battery I could buy Apple care just in case the battery on the replacement didn't hold up.
Also the "Shell" on my replacement was definitely not new. I could see the cutout pattern around the controls left by a shell case on the S.S. band.
Apple is just taking advantage of people and the contracts that they have set up with the individual carriers.
Sushil2john, I am just as disappointed with Apple as you are regarding their replacement policy you might want to take that into consideration when you go to purchase your next phone, I know I will.

Will apple replace my headphones with new ones?

hi iv had my headphones for almost 1 year now..
the rubber has came off the headphones and the sound quality has faded
will apple replace these?
i still have the box and receipt

Apple will only not replace them if they have been damaged through misuse or an accident. If they have been used properly they are warranted to work for one year. If they failed at 11 months and 29 days it does not matter that they've been "well loved and well used", they are supposed to last for one full year. Unless they purchase AppleCare then it is two years.
Doc M wrote:
By all means, take them in and see what they say. I could be quite mistaken.
deggie--
AppleCare states:
Your Plan covers defects for the Applebranded product(s) listed in your Planʼs Certificate or Proof of Coverage document (“Plan Confirmation”) and the accessories that are contained in the product(s) original packaging (“Covered Equipment”),
(ii) Under APP for iPod, Apple will provide technical support for the Covered Equipment, iPod OS
and software applications that are pre-installed with the Covered Equipment (both referred to as
"iPod Software") and connectivity issues between the Covered Equipment and a supported
computer, meaning a computer that meets the Covered Equipmentʼs connectivity specifications and
runs an operating system that is supported by the Covered Equipment. Apple will provide support
for the then-current version of the iPod Software, and the prior supported Major Release.
Also--I never said that they shouldn't take them back--just to not be surprised if they were not replaced. They may well be, and as stated above, +I could be quite mistaken.+
I am also presuming that these are not the stock earbuds that come with iPods, but a set of headphones that may not be stock issue. (They may not even be Apple-brand.) If these are the Apple in-ear headphones with remote that one buys as a standalone purchase, then they should be replaced if under a year. If these are the Dr. Dre sets...who knows? I am working with the information I got from the original poster.
I guess I've worked too much retail, and have seen too many worst-case scenarios. I'd rather see them get replaced (and be incorrect) than to say yes, they'll be replaced no questions asked--and find out later they weren't.
Still--a year warranty should be a year warranty....

Does apple replace iphone 4 with refurb ones?

So i replaced my iphone 4 with another one because it had issues. I asked the genius employee if i will be getting a new or refurbished one. He told me i would be getting a new one. He also said that my old one will be sent to a fatory to be recycled "properly" Now a friend of mine said she is friend with 2 apple employees that said they replace it with refurb ones they just lie and say they give new ones.

I should correct you in that carriers seem to have a different return date than Apple does. Verizon has a 14 day policy, and Apple's is 30. I wish I remembered that when I bought my 4 since I could have returned it for a 4S...hm.
Also, there isn't really any way to tell the difference between New and Refurb, even when using SN# identification methods (build number, production week, etc.).
You'd also want to restore from a backup of the old device, to load app data, messages, contacts, etc. You wouldn't want to restore from backup, say if OP had purchased a new computer.

I had to replace my i4s with another one from the apple store.shouldn't i be able to go to the cloud to get all my contact info and other stuff that was stored in the cloud from the first phone?

i had to replace my i4s phone with another one from the apple store. i need to download all my contact info and other stuff from the cloud to my new phone.i see a screen that says RESTORE I PHONE and are you sure you want to restore the iphone to its facory settings? all of your media and other data will be erased. they i tunes will verify restore with apple. After this you will have the option to restore your contacts and other settins. The question is will it restore my first phones info? I am hesitant to delete anything lol.

No. If you made your backup to iCloud, iTunes will not restore from an iCloud backup. See:
iOS: Backing Up and Restoring Data to a New Device

Qosmio X500-10W - Can I replace the HDD with another one?

Hello
I have a Qosmio X500-10W with two HDD Toshiba MK5055GSX 500GB 5400RPM 8MB ??SATA II but is one of hs so I wonder if I can be replaced by a more powerful style HDD 750GB 7200tr / min 16MB Toshiba course?
merci

Hey,
Your question is a little bit hard to understand but I think you want to replace the HDD with another (faster) model, right?
Well, thats no problem. HDDs with 7200rpm will work, they are a little bit louder but they are faster so if you need more performance no problem.
Also 750GB or more is no problem because SATA interface is not capacity limited. Theoretically 1TB or more should also work.
Anyway, you can buy the 750GB you mentioned it will work. :)

Replace playing video with new one in osmf player

Hi,
I have a problem with loading new video in osmf player. First video is loaded from the emmbed code, and I use ProxyElement to comunicate with MediaLEment and to load my plugin. But after some actions in my plugin I need to load another video in the Player. By changing the DisplayedObject from the proxiedElement I am loading the new video but the old video from emmbed code is still runing on the back. Does anyone know how to remove mediaElement created by the player or to replace with new one, ot at least to disable that video from playing. I tried with everything and it doesn't work.
Thanks

hi,
you can change into new Data Source.
From new Data Source you can load data into the old ods.
but if you want to kepp the old records as it is, then don't delete data in the ods.
hope this helps......

How to replace original photos with modified ones?

Hi from Paris France ,
is there a way to get rid of original photos and replace them by the modified ones (ie "modified" are becoming "original")?
Thx

it is bad philosophy anyway...
Actually iPhoto is following the digital asset management best practice philosophy of always keeping a digital negative untouched and intact. iPhoto is an entry level DAM application for the general public. To do what you want you might look into the more advanced DAM applications that will let you do what you want. You can learn about them at The DAM Forum for professional photographers.
I use Media Expression which I think is one of the best as my primary DAM and iPhoto for special projects. But alas it doesn't not have Faces and Places. It does read geo-tagged image files but you'll have to assign "Location" identity to them by editing the IPTC metadata fields with EM.
One method to avoid having the portrait photos modified by iPhoto it to upload the photos to a folder on the Desktop before importing. There you can losslessly rotate those files that need it. It also gives you an opportunity to rename the files to something more informative that IMG_001.jpg.
