Will Apple open my Macbook Pro for me?

I'm just curious, I was trying to install new RAM, and the screws are just so tight that I am only ruining them as I try, will they open it up for me for free?
The RAM is third-party, but I can install it myself once the system is open.
Also, I've never brought an Apple product into their store for help.. I'm curious would this happen on the spot if they could do it for free, or would I have to drop it off?

If you provide the RAM they will install it for you for free. Goto www.apple.com/retail and find your store, then make sure you set up an appointment at the genius bar for mac. All the appropriate links will be on the page after you select your store. Choose a time, and then just show up at the Apple store 5 minutes before your scheduled. When you get to the store make sure you check in with somebody at the Genius Bar and let the know you are there. Then it should be a quick 5-10 min wait and they will take care of you!

When I open my MacBook Pro for the first time each day, I find condensation on the glass. What can I do to prevent the condensation?

When I open my MacBook Pro for the first time each day, I find condensation on the glass. What can I do to prevent the condensation?

This thread and all the followups are hilarious, if it weren't such a serious problem. OP, you may want to add a bit more information on how this drippy screen problem occurs: where do you live, what are the weather conditions, what are you doing with the Mac when it occurs, etc.
Yes, extreme moisture, to the extent of causing visible condensation, is Very Bad News for any electronic device, and more so with one that isn't tropicalized like the Mac. Besides trying to avoid subjecting it to such extreme temperature changes, using some kind of desiccant to absorb close range moisture and avoidint its use until it dried out, I can suggest placing some kind of absorbent material between the display and the keyboard to prevent the moisture on the glass from finding its way into the computer. Like the protective poliethylene foam protector that came with the Mac when new. Or something like RadTech's ScreenSavrz: http://www.radtech.us/Products/NotebookScreenSavrz.aspx

Will apple replace my macbook pro?

Hi
I have a problem with the trackpad on my macbook pro 13''. not all the time but sometimes it feels loose and when you click down it it it clicks twice instead of once. i took it to the apple store and they altered the trackpads clicking space beneath so it clicks down further but this has not helped so i was wondering if apple will replace my macbook pro. however there are a couple of small scratches on the shell of the macbook pro which obviously have no effect on the working order of the trackpad but will apple refuse to replace my macbook with this cosmetic damage? also i would also like to know if anyone else has had the same problem with a loose trackpad that doesn't click correctly. thank you

robc10,
if your MacBook Pro is no longer in its warranty period, then they will not replace it. If it is still in its warranty period, refer to its warranty in your region to see whether replacement would be an available option for you.

Will apple swap my Macbook Pro?

hi guys,
I bought a 13 inch macbook pro this summer (in june when it came out), now ive been experiencing some problems, the computer is running very slow (boots up much slower and apps take much longer to load), also it has restart many times and even once a world sign showed up instead of the apple logo when booting up. All of this has been happening since approx 2 months. My question is, will apple swap or repair my mac and is there a change that they could swap it for the 13 inch macbook air?
Thank you in advance

You had 14 days from the date of purchase to return or exchange a Mac.
You already blew that chance.

Will Apple update their MacBook Pro lineup at WWDC 2013?

I am planning to buy a new Macbook Pro and I wondering whether Apple will update their lineup at the WWDC 2013? Will the new Macbooks have the new Haswell Processers?
Also, I need to decide between the Macbook Pro 13 inch and 15 inch. Which one is better for running heavy apps like Photoshop/Lightroom/Aperture?

No one knows when or if Apple is going to upgrade the MacBook Pro line this year.
If you need a computer now, for heavy graphics use, you'd be best served with either the 15" Retina or non-Retina. My choice would be the non-Retina, since you can upgrade the RAM and hard drive, replacing it with either a larger capacity, faster drive and up to 16GB of RAM. The 15" models also have discrete graphics processors, available with up to 1GB of memory: thus they are better machines for heavy graphics use.
Good luck,
Clinton

Will apple repair my Macbook Pro with my parts?

I got a mint condition bottom case for $50 on Ebay. The part number on the bottom matches mine perfectly, but i do not want to void my apple care to swap out bottom cases. Will apple replace my bottom case without voiding my warranty for a labor cost? if yes, what would you estimate this labor cost to be?
Part number A1226- Santa Rosa 2.4 Ghz Bottom Case for Macbook Pro

I've never know Apple to perform an in-warranty service with a customer's part, ever. Now, that's not to say that a 3rd party, authorized service center would not. But they're technical not "Apple" just authorized to perform repairs.
You could certainly contact your local Apple Store and propose the situation to them but don't be surprised if the end result is not in your favor. The bottom case is a fairly significant repair, it involves a full disassembly of the machine so it'd fetch a fairly high labor cost from the 3rd party I'd imagine as well.

Crossgrade, universal version will NOT open on Macbook Pro

I just got my crossgrade in the mail, and installed everything. I can open and use every studio app EXCEPT Final Cut Pro.
I checked each app, and they all claim to be universal. Here is the funny part: when i click "open with rosetta" for FCP it opens perfectly (albiet very slowly)
The other programs do not require rosetta as they seem to be running natively on my much vaunted intel chips.
Anyone have any idea what gives here?

Tried that, updating OSX etc. Nothing.
However, console spits out this when I try to run it:

Safari will not open on macbook pro

Safari was working fine last night. Tonight I try to open it but nothing happens.
Have tried restarting but now Safari won't quit properly to let me do this again.
Any advice?

but now Safari won't quit properly to let me do this again.
You can "force quit" the Safari application. Go to your Apple menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click "Force Quit". Or Command + Option + Esc on your keyboard.
You can also force quit apps using Activity Monitor located in /Applications/Utilities
Select My Processes from the pop up menu then select Safari then click the red force quit button.
BTW... when you post for help, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed. Thanks!

I have owned my MacBook Pro for several months. Initially, I did not have any problems. Now I have a problem with Yahoo Mail. I can open my account, but when I try to get at my mail, 2 out of 3 times I get the spinning ball that never stops. Now what?

I have owned my MacBook Pro for several months without having any problems with it. Recently I am having trouble with my Yahoo Mail. I can open it fine, but 2 out of 3 times when I try to actually open a message, the spinning ball comes on the screen and does not stop. Sometimes, I can log out or force quit and come back in to my account and use it. Other times, I run into the same problem. Any suggestions?

No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
That would depend on what you are trying to do.

Need a printer driver for a PIXMA MG2900 that will work on my MacBook Pro Operating System OSX 10.4.11

I have just purchased a Canon Pixma MG2900 printer and need to find a driver for this printer that will work with my MacBook Pro Operating System OSX Version 10.4.11.
I was directed to iTunes PIXMA/MAXI, but it didn't seem to download for me. It did say that it was for IPads or IPhones, not sure that it's intended for use on a computer.

Probably best to go to a library and submit your resume there.
