What to do while I wait for the new battery?

The recall website says to not use the old battery, but it's going to take 4-6 weeks to get a new one, so what should I do to cover up the empty spot on the bottom of my computer? I thought about using the battery and just making sure the computer's plugged in all the time, but alas I have no idea where my dad put the battery...Any ideas of what will keep the dust out of the empty spot without ruining my computer?

If it were me I would keep using the battery and not remove it from the computer. The chances of something happening are infinitesimal. There's way too much "chicken little" hand wringing over this. Out of the MILLIONS of batteries covered by this exchange Apple only received nine reports of overheating. The law of averages is most assuredly on your side. You are overwhelmingly more likely to get injured in an automobile accident than by an overheated battery. Your PowerBook is overwhelmingly more likely to be damaged by you dropping it than your battery overheating.

Waiting for the new Q10 to hit sprint but what will happen to my email?

I am currently waiting for the new Q10 to hit sprint. but i am hearing that i will no longer be able to use my blackberry.net email with the new blackberry. i currently use it as my primary email. 1st is it true they will no longer have blackberry email and if so what steps do i need to take in order to make a smooth transistion?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1. yes, the blackberry.net email is no longer available... and quite honestly, in my opinion, this is a good thing. The blackberry.net email is not available anywhere except ON your BlackBerry, you cannot view it anywhere but on the handheld device itself and no backup otherwise. Get a free gmail, yahoo or Outlook.com account.
2. Read this: Article ID: KB33260 BlackBerry (hosted) email address forwarding for BlackBerry 10 OS
So, create and start using the other free email account now. When you finally transition over to BlackBerry10, you will have your solution in place for forwarding the blackberry.net email account.

my iphone broke, is there anyway to see who is texting me or calling me while i wait for my new phone?

Through iCloud, a user is able to share (and sync) all content between iOS devices (and Macs), including messages.
• Syncing between iOS devices
If you have an iPad or iPod touch, activating iCloud in those devices with the same iCloud account of your iPhone will allow the text messages you initially recieve from your phone to be delivered to the additional devices.
➞ Limitations
The caller must be an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) user.
The caller must be sending the text to your iCloud account (e-mail address), not your phone number.
• Syncing to your Mac
If you have a Mac (iMac, Macbook, Mac mini, etc), 'Messages Beta for OS X' will allow your computer to act as a text messaging machine, as well ― just like your iPhone.
➞ Limitations
The caller must be an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) user.
The caller must be sending the text to your iCloud account (e-mail address), not your phone number.
Unfortunately, phone calls, which all of the other iOS devices, except iPhones, don't have, cannot be received.

I am thinking of getting my first Macbook pro for uni and was just wondering which one would be the best? The macbook pro or macbook pro with retina display? or even wait for the new release in 2013 ?

If your budget is unlimited, look at both the retina and non-retina and make a decision based on your preferences. If funds are tight, explore the options in the refurbished section. Unless you are dealing with courses that demand specific performance parameters, any one of these options will suffice.

What is a nice, expensive cover for the new Ipad? plz answer!!

what is a nice, expensive cover for the new Ipad? plz answer!!

I think you need to be a bit more specific about what your looking for.
I, for one, do not consider the most expensive iPad covers to be the nicest.
Solid gold anyone?

Should i buy macbook Pro now??? or wait for the new model in 2012..???

i want to buy MacBook Pro....so... should i wait for the new model or???

Your question is analogues to the same situation if you were contemplating the purchase of a new car.
If you need one and the current model satisfies your needs, purchase it. If the current crop does not satisfy your needs you certainly can wait for a new model, but there is no guarantee that the new model will have features that will fulfill your expectations.
In short, your choices are dealing with the known vs unknown possibilities.

Ok so I have an iPod touch 4 and I want to get an iPad but don't know if I should get the iPad 2 or wait for the new one. I am 14 years

iPad 2

Well, it depends how long you can wait. We can't discuss rumors on here about release dates.
Look at what you actually need though and decide how soon you need something.
What you'll want to realize is that every year or two something new will come out.. so you have to learn to fight off the "I need the new one" bug if you want to be satisfied with your purchase. At your age you probably won't get the opportunity to upgrade for a while, so you'll have to learn to live with your purchase decision longer.
If the iPad 2 in it's current state does everything you want, and you enjoy playing around on it a lot, I'd get it now and be happy. If you feel like you want the newest of the new and are willing to wait (in line and for it to release) then you should wait for the next release.
The iPad 2s are finally becoming available after many months backlog, so keep in mind the next release will likely be the same way and think if you could really wait that long to get something.
Alternatively you could also consider getting a used iPad 1, then use that while waiting for the next version. The used one could then be resold for a fair amount once the new one comes out. Apple products tend to have a pretty good resale value, and the iPads are extraordinarily popular.

Should i wait for the new i pad or buy the current one

should i get the new ipad 2 or should i wait for the ipad 3?

No iPad 3 has been announced yet. If the current iPad does what you need, and you can afford it, then you might as well get one now and start getting use out of it - unless you want to wait an unknown number of months for a un-spec'd/unnounced product

Am I worth to wait for the new macbooks with snow leopard?

As the day Apple released the new macbook pro 17. I was considering about If I need to wait for the all macbooks with the new operating system. Because I just heard that Snow leopard will come with a 64 bit. But now leopard just is with 32 bit. Some of people said new macbooks with snow leopard will be different from the old models(2008 late), even the macbook pro 17 2009. Can someone help me? Thanks a lot.

I think if you need a new laptop you can take the plunge. If you have a look on the apple website on the SL page you will note the following text near the bottom:
+Benchmark based on the SunSpider JavaScript Performance test on a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo-based iMac with Mac OS X Snow Leopard and 2GB of RAM.+
That's the sort of specs for a machine that would run the OS well...I think the new 17" MB Pro is well within that ballpark.

My iPad 2 is very slow and the spinner continues to spin while I wait for the pages to open. I'm on a wireless account at home with the 3G.

iPad 2 very slow. Software is updated, on Wireless and 3G, pages open slowly with continual "spinning" while I wait.

Wrong forum, please post it under iPad section. You'll get solutions soon!

I intend to buy new mac pro, is it better to wait for the new OS X mountain, or can buy it and we can update it without affecting its performance?

I intended to buy new mac pro, is it better to wait for new OS X moutain or can buy it now and update it later as it will not affect its performance???

If you can wait about a 3 months after 10.8 is released this summer and upon new hardware you should be in excellent shape to have not only a fastest latest machine, but a OS X version that all the bugs have been worked out. Plus the three free months of Apple hand holding while they figure out what they did wrong with the new OS version.
If you need a new machine now you'll have to get what you need obviously, but 10.8 should run on it just fine. However know that Apple tweaks things with more currently sellling hardware first, then later gets to the previous released models.
It's been my guestimation that your good for about two year old hardware with very recent OS X release, three years or older hardware you may want to reconsider sticking with the previous OS X version as your hardware is getting dated and likely has only a year left to go anyway (4 year average), so why bother mucking it up, slowing it down and having to buy all new/updated software and third party hardware because they won't make drivers for your new OS version?

I need a mac, but I dont know if I should wait for the new OS X 'leopard'

I dont have a mac yet, but I was looking at the new OS and the Time machine feature really caught my attention. Being a design student this could be the feature ive been waiting for. I just dont know I f I should wait for 'leopard' to be released or not. I really nee the computer now, but I dont want to pay extra to upgrade to 'leopard' later on. The web-site doesnt specify when It will be released, I was wondering If anyone knew If its a couple of weeks or months?
This would help me make an easier decision.
If anyone could give me some insight, that would be great.
thanks.

iMacs that shipped with
Tiger still boot Jaguar
Bollocks! While they'll boot specifically compiled
versions of Darwin they will not boot Jaguar from a
boxed retail version or any version of Jaguar that
came with a Mac.
the iMac G5 will simply not boot any version of
Jaguar that came from Apple retail.
Bollocks! is right , you're absolutely wrong. My iMac which came with Tiger still boots retail Panther quire easily.
The tiger I was referring to, on my MBP is the Darwin 10.3 version recompllied to suport Intel. Yes i agrre that a newer Intel based system won't boot an older PPC based DVD, I should hope not. But thats because of PPC vs Intel NOT some supposed policy from Mac
I'm not sure where you get anything to support your statements since from the time That Intel based macs shipped with Panther there was no retail version of Tiger available for Intel, since then there has been no release of a new OS X so where are you even geting your so called "facts" from? Prior to that we were talking about PPC based Macs which most definitely ran prior version, in fact my old Powerbook which shipped with Tiger runs Jaguar and 10.2 and 10.1 as well.
While not officially noted, not that I'm aware of at
least, this has been Apple policy for quite some
time. While sure, you can get a Mac to use many
things it wasn't "meant" to although that doesn't
mean one should.
That's just plain wrong on so many levels..
So where are your use cases to support your made up policy?
{i] If you look back at each successive Mac OS X upgrade
from Jaguar and look at the systems that spanned the
release of the newer OS. In each case, even though
the hardware was exactly the same, those systems that
shipped with the newer OS failed to boot and install
from the discs of the exact same system that had the
older version OS. Yes there were a few that did
although once Apple manufacturing caught up with
itself, which was normally a week or two, they
didn't.{/i]
Just wrong again, Yes maybe if the hardware has changed to support some new device in the new Mac. The only way that would be true as if you factored in the change from PPC to x86 architecture. I have several machines which run retail versions of OSx back to 10.2, some even 10.1 on boxes that shpiped with Jaguar or even Tiger. And there are no firmware blocks that limit that. That is what you claim
Give us some examples of this "supposedly unstated policy" you seem to think is in effect.
INo… because you're not correct through simply not
referring to Apple retail versions of Mac OS X and
moreso, the implications of such advice infers that
one has full support for older OSs where they do
not
Bottom line… if you want a system that runs Mac OS X
Tiger then buy one that comes with it..
First of all I never said that one has full suport for all old versions of OSX. I said there is NO policy in Firmware that prohibits newer OSX based machines from running older versions of OSX. But I think you're just basically overlooking the fact that in the cases you cite there were probably actual hardware progressions that made older retail version not see newer hardware. It wasn't some mysterious Firmware blocking as you claim. It was pure hardware progression.
By the way, what if someone follows your advice,
waits for Leopard and finds they need Tiger and can't
install it? What are you going to do beyond shrug you
shoulders and say "not your problem"?
Uhhh, if you read my post, I never said to do what you seem to think I said. I merely asked YOU to cite an example of this "policy" and firmware blocking, which you haven't done yet BTW, cause I think you're wrong and I don't think its a policy to block, as you suggest, in firmware, a previous OS version for every new hadware version shipped with a new software version.
When Leopard ships on a C2D MBP you will not have to worry about that MBP not running retail Tiger. It certainly won't have some mysterious firmware block on booting Tiger after some mysterious two week period as you claim. Now if there is a NEWER revision with newer hardware that ships with Leopard there may be an issue with a currently available version of Tiger because it doesn't support the new hardware. It won't be , as you claim, some unstated policy manifested in firmware that prevents Tiger from installing.
So lets just end this here and now cause its a waste of people's time and my posts weren't claiming that if you need tiger don't buy a machine with Leopard on it, as you seem to think I was saying. What I said and stand by is this. There is no unwritten or written policy that has Apple blocking previous versions of its OS X in new hardware shipped with new software via firmware. Unless tha actual hardware contains devices that the prior version of OSX was unaware of. That's all I was pointing out. Somehow you stretched this into something completely different.

Is it worth it to wait for the new iPod Touch, or should i upgrade from my 3g to a 4g already?

I've had my same old 3g 32gb iPod Touch for over 2 years now, and I really want a camera, built-in microphone and retina display already (all of which the 4g has)! But should I wait until the 5g comes out, or just buy now? When is it likely to come out, and what might be on it? Thanks!

No one knows when a new one is coming out. Apple has announced no plans of making a new one. If it's a camera, retina display, etc. that you want, the current iPod touch already has this. If you need/want these features, no reason to wait. We are not allowed to discuss future releases here, but I'll bet on "not for a while."

Should I buy the MBP retina now or wait for the new one?

Hey
I wanna buy a new MBP retina 15" before my uni starts in fall so after like a month and a half. I already have a 2011 MBP but wanna get a new and better one so I am just wondering what is the latest 15" retina by Apple? and when is the approximate date for the release of new retinas? like I mean if Apple has a date for new releases like it has for iPhone and iPad usually like to know if it worth waiting or not
Thanks

I haven't heard anything as far as a new retina models. I just upgraded from a 13" mid 2012 non-retina pro to a 13" late 2013 retina pro. Either way I don't think there will be any major improvements to their retina pros if they do release a new one in the fall. I would say go ahead and get your retina now. Also Apple has a reuse and recycle program along with a student discount. You can take your old mac in and possibly get a store credit towards a new one but I doubt you'll get a huge discount. For my last MacBook, I would only have gotten about $350. But make sure you get what you need in it when you buy it because you can't upgrade the parts.

What kind of monitor is recommended for the new Mac Pro?

I want ot upgrade to the new Mac Pro from an imac, but what kind of display/monitor would be recommended and how much might it cost?

There are lots of 27"-30" monitors that would work, with the right connector adaptor. Many sell for around a 1/3rd of an Apple display. Personally, I like Samsung monitors, but LG makes some very nice ones, and even Dell's monitors are often quite good. Acer has some nice large screen monitors out too, and while the name might not be commonly known to many people, they are and have been a major equipment manufacturer for decades now and their quality is usually pretty good.
Keep an eye out for sales in the coming weeks and go look at some, preferably side by side.
You should be able to pick up something good in the 25"-30" range for easily under $500/$600 USD (on sale, perhaps well under $300).
