Whats does mac book pro apple care exactly over? everthing but lost or stolen?

mac book pro apple care exactly over? everthing but lost or stolen?

It's hardware coverage of factory defects to three years from the date of purchase of the machine + phone support.
You can buy it within the one year standard warranty, but it's still only three years max.
Doesn't cover software issues, data recovery, user damage, accidents or thefts.  OS X may be reinstalled in the repair process but really doesn't count as fixing software issues.
It's sort of mandatory, as eventually one will upgrade OS X and a firmware update can brick a logicboard by exposing unknown flaws or drivers for video cards causing issues.
Never upgrade OS X without AppleCare in place as Apple has multiple points of potential failure on the logicboard, the parts are not more seperated like on PC's and thus cheaper to fix.
A new logicboard out of applecare is prohibitive, you'll be better off buying a new machine.

    downloaded acrobat reader 11 onto my Mac Book Pro, it can open the file but will not print. Get a message that says PDF cannot be printed, however, I forwarded it to someone else and they could print it, no problem. I called HP and spent an 1hour with them and then called Apple support and worked with them for 3 hours. No one can figure it out. Is there something wrong with this version? the pdf was created in 2004. Do I have to pay to get Acrobat?

    Let me give you a slightly different perspective than everyone else here.  You are using an unsecured wireless network, which means that all your network traffic is easily available for viewing by anyone else using that network.  That's bad.  Very bad, for you, unless you absolutely trust everyone who lives within range of this network.  So stop doing it.
    As to the Mac not connecting, wireless networking is simply too complex for any reasonable answer without more information.  There are many possible error points, and as often as not it's the Mac that can connect and the Windows PC that cannot.  Since you can't give us any information about the configuration of the neighbor's network, and can't make any changes to it, we can't do much to help you troubleshoot it.

  • I have a new mac book pro which i use in england but I need to use German charachters frequently, is there a way of having both visable on the keyboard?

    I have a new mac book pro which i use in england but I need to use German charachters frequently, is there a way of having both visable on the keyboard?
    For example so that I can just press shift or another key to get the German character.

    Some may already exist, but you will have to learn them.  On my old system these can be found through keyviewer.app  For example, if I press option+s I get ß   Umlaut is a bit cumbersome as option+u then the actual letter.  It may be possible to bind a key to do this function, possibly through System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts
    I have old, old references for utilities that let you rebind keys to other functions, and you would have to see if they have modern equivalents.
    Ukelele Mac OS X Keyboard Layout Editor - http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=ukelele - mostly useful for character, not function mapping.

    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

    Safe Mode - Yosemite
    What does the screen show - anything?

  • Does mac book pro come with os lion

    I know it may sound dumb but does the mac book pro come with os lion or do I need to purchase it? Tried looking in my system reference and it does not say and if i do have to buy it will I get the update when mountain lion comes out? Thanks for any info.

    >about this mac.  If it says 10.7.x, you have Lion.  Can't answer questions about Mountain Lion as Apple has released very little details about it in terms of what you are asking.

  • Mac book pro (Apple 3 years product cover)

    Hi all,
    Just wanted to ask which may will be a question easy to answer. But i am just un aware of it..
    I have a mac book pro 13".. at the beginning since i have purchased the macbook i have been obtaining 10 hours of battery life.. but at once it is just if i may say " not performing as good" .. does the warranty cover the problem such as not giving the battery life as mentioned on the sales pitch? or website?

    Have you been calibrating your battery as discussed here?

  • IAntivirus app does Mac book pro need one?

    iAnitvirus is this a trusted app for my mac book pro and should I get an antivirus app?

    Although Symantec is not new to the OS X market as are most of the new A-V products currently being offered by formerly Windows vendors, it is still new and unproven. The name itself was being used by another vendor who was no longer supporting it, so they either bought or took the name. Thomas Reed, mentioned above, has updated his article on this software at http://www.reedcorner.net/beware-iantivirus/.

    oes mac book pro come with keynote and pages or doi have to purchase them seperately; can I purchase online? My son has an assignment due tomooorow they use macs at school and we assumed he could just finish it at home and..no Keynote!

    Mac don't come with iWork installed unless you configure it while buying your Mac online.
    However, iWork can be purchased at the App Store. You can buy the apps individualy (Pages, Numbers and Keynote) too.

  • Mac Book pro 13 A1278 late 2009 boot but no screen

    Mac Book Pro 13 late 2009, boot on 10.5.8 fine but there is no screen light, just black, webcam work fine. When I plung a external screen it is working fine, i have the desktop and so.
    Why ? I pulled off the motherboard after a water (tap) splash. At this time the key board was crazy. I unplunged the video cable of course. I cleaned and reinstalled every thing. So now the Key board works fine except for two keys at left hand ; ALT AND CTRL but no screen. The water came directly on the video cable area and the cable have a fiber cover. I cleaned with contact cleaner. But nothing to do. Curiusly the monitor Pref seems detect the computer screen because it is list in the menu Icon on the finder.
    I looked on internet It seems to by a lot of video cable to sell. It is because there are fragile ?

    Either you display or the connection to the display is damaged.  For a definitive assessment, take it to an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.
    Ciao.

  • Just bought the Mac Book Pro 17" - set up all OK but the applications are only showing on a small screen size, not full screen - the background is still visible as a margin - how do I take the view to full screen corner to corner so to speak.

    Just bought the Mac Book Pro for my photography  - set up and running last night, but the user screens ie Hot Mail, safari etc.. are only half size sat on the background - I have exhausted the help and calibration log...surel this must be simple to fix...any help out there..thanks..Paul.

    Have you just moved over from WIndows?
    This is standard on Macs. The ability to see more than one window at a time. Some apps - like iPhoto, Aperture etc - have a Full Screen mode. Check out the View menu.
    Drag the lower right hand corner to resize the window.
