Who needs apple to make the bezels for the macbook pro? Lets get together and tell apple they must! It is a design flaw.
I love my pro. I paid 2700. for it 4 years ago. I did that because I know they are meant to last. I could have purchased a regular laptop but they don't last. Until recently I was ecstatic with it. Then one day I opened it up and my screen seemed really floppy. I didn't pay much attention. Then I noticed there were two cracks on the bezel toward the bottom of the screen. It is where the stress point lies from opening and closing. A very important location. I have read up on this, it is definitely a design flaw. I know the bezels are only work 10-15 dollars if produced. But because of the lack of availability of them they sell for 80 and up. I went to an Apple store with my friend. She purchased an IPAD 3 months ago, it fell out of her car, and the screen broke. Strangely enough, they replaced her IPAD when clearly it was customer fault, although she maintained it was a weak point. Me? The genius looked at mine and said I would need a new screen and it would be 700. Then another solution for 300. I asked why they couldn't just order a bezel. He said they don't make them. Apple does not make computer parts for their own computer? Unfortunately they gave me the rude runaround (Sherman Oaks,Ca manager Gabe Nava) and treated me like I was being unreasonable when I pointed out it was a design flaw with Apple!. Now i have a computer that could last a good 2-3 more years, but with this flaw the life will be shortened. Apple is this how u treat the customers that purchase you most expensive product versus the one that purchases the low/med price product? Let me know pro owners.....lets demand apple make these bezels. They should be replaced for free, but if it were available for 15. and then 50 labor...that I can live with. The best I could get outta Gabe was 150.00 and they keep my computer for a week! I live 120 miles away from the nearest store. I know your out there folks....lets make Apple make this right.
There are online Mac reaper shops that will fix your bezel, it's nothing really.

When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy if you like texting family and friends. I'll never buy another one if I can't text using SMS or MMS. Is there any hope for a patch or new operating system to fix this issue, or an app to use with iPad Air

Am in need of a copy of DVDdrive for a macbook pro OS. how can i get a copy, please any one to helpIf you are referring to the original system reinstall discs that shipped with every Mac before Lion came out you'll need to contact Apple with the serial # of your Mac and order a replacement set of them.
Or look on one of the Auction websites or places like iFixit.com for a replacement set.
If your Mac came new with any of the Download Only versions of OS X, Lion, Mt Lion or Mavericks you don't need any discs to reinstall OS X. You use the Online Internet Recovery system or the built in Recovery HD partition inb the internal hard drive.
For the built in Recovery HD hold down the Command + r keys at startup. For the Online system hold down the Command + Option/Alt + r keys and keep them held down until you see a globe on the screen. -

The battery for my macbook pro 13 says "service battery". Now I want to get a replacement but the reviews for it are horrible! Does anybody have any suggestions? I don't want to spend 130 dollars on something I'm going to have to replace in less than a year (which is what normally I been reading) I do design work and I take my mac everywhere. Having to always look for a plug or having to be constantly plugged in doesn't sound ideal to me. Please help me. what should I do???
Why does it matter if it a scam????? I'll let you figure that out by yourself. If I'm going to replace it, why should I be contempt with a battery that I have to replace within months (as stated by some people in the comments). The issue here is not if I should or not replace it OBVIOUSLY I'm going to have to before it starts going crazy. The underlying issue is why is the replacement battery for a lack of better words " a bit crap." It comes with a 3 month guarantee?? Is that a joke?!??!?! Some people complained it malfunction after only 8- 9 months? I'm sorry but as an Apple fan I think it's absolutely rubbish. I know there is no magic cure I'm just hoping someone shines the light on how crappy this replacement is.

The battery for my Macbook Pro 13 "has only 121 cycles and is not charging anymore, my Mac is telling me that it is necessary to exchange it. You have any tips for me to find out what might be happening with my battery?
Guys, i am actually trying using a solution provided by the article shared by dominic23,
It says "Another option is to get an ionizer to help the atmosphere in the workplace be more conductive and pull charges away from contact surfaces, including yourself."
So in my home, we have such device that could clean the air using ion, and i am using it in my room...
Result: BANG!!! The electric shock on my macbook has gone!! I don't really care about physics but somehow it works! You guys should give it a try.
Thanks again dominic23 -
