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.

    Will icloud install on macbook pro with OS 10.6.8?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iCloud is not an application you can download and install independently. It is part of the OS X 10.7.2 operating system. So in essence no you cannot use iCloud with OS X 10.6.8 on your Mac.

  • Does Apple replace faulty MacBook Pro with retina in Asia?

    I bought a MacBook Pro with retina display in July 2012. Recently my MBPr developed some issues. I feel like something moves (or slides to and fro) inside the Mac when I take out the computer from the bag and hold it in my hand. I don't know whether I have been able to explain the issue as I'm not a native English speaker. I contacted the retailer I bought the Mac from. They told me they can only change the faulty parts if there are any, but they cannot replace the Mac for a new one because  Apple does not replace any Mac in Asia. The prerogative is only in Asia, Europe, Australia and the US. Is it really the case? If things turn out that Apple cannot make good on its warranty without replacing the Mac what shall they do in that case? Could you pls explain?

    As best I know, after 14 days Apple will repair your MBP if it is within the warranty period for free.  In rare instances, if they have not been able to repair it after several attempts, they may replace it.  I suggest contacting Apple and ship your MBP to the for inspection/repair or bring it to an Apple store or an Apple reseller.
    Ciao.

  • 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

  • I dropped my 13" Macbook pro and there is a dent in it. I still have the warranty coverage. Will Apple repair the Macbook for free, or will I have to pay for the damage done to it?

    Wanting to know whether apple can repair the damage done to the macbook.

    You’ll need to pay. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage such as that.

  • 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!

  • Adobe Reader 9.0 will not print on Macbook Pro with OS X 10.6

    I have the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and when printing labels or other pdf's, Adobe Reader 9.0 just sits there, doesn't even acknowledge that I am trying to print.  When I open the print queue, it says trying to print, loading data but sits forever.  If I print from Preview and other apps, it works fine, so it's obviously an Adobe issue with the new Macs.  Any suggestions for this non-technical person that just wants to print?  Thanks.

    If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions or have other problems with updating to update then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.

  • HT5149 Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found. Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard

    Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps.
    Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard drive at a Mac Authorized Repair.
    Short history of repair and my Final Cut Pro installation:
    1. Macbook Pro stopped working, sendt it for repair. Had the Final Cut Pro installed,
    2. Desided to try a MiniMac and recovered my backup with Time Machine, got the Final Cut Pro working.
    3. Got my Macbook Pro back from repair, did backup on this one as well. But this time only the files not the Applications.
    4. Removed the files as mentioned in HT5149. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found.
    5. When I try to install Final Cut Pro from App Store, it downloads the application as planned. But after download it won´t show in the Application folder nor in the downloads folder, nor will it start an installation prosess. If I pause the installation in App Store, I can see the Final Cut Pro icon in my Dock. (But, as mentioned, after installation it won´t show neither here or in the Applications folder).
    Any suggestions on what I should try now?
    Thanks for any reply, I´m in deep water here...

    Sounds like there is a file you're not getting.  Never do a removal manually.  It's so time consuming and a pain.  There's a very easy and fast way to do this, safely, properly.
    Get the free "Final Cut Remover" app from Digital Rebellion (dot com), use this to remove FCP X.
    Reboot the Mac.
    Download from scratch.
    If you're not seeing FCP X in your app folder, run Disk Utility to Repair all drives.
    If that doesn't help, try running Disk Warrior from Altsoft to repair the directories on all drives.

  • Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id

    Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id. When I use I tunes it get confusing and I have a paid app that needs the same id

    When syncing the iPhone and iPad with iTunes on your computer that is logged in with the Apple ID you plan on using on all three, the Apple ID should be transferred to the iPhone and iPad for the iTunes & App Stores on each device. If not, you'll need to sign out of the existing Apple ID on the iPhone and iPad followed by signing in with the Apple ID you want to use on both.
    Keep in mind that all 3rd party apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account or Apple ID that was used to download the apps. With an app installed on your iPad and iPhone that was downloaded with a different Apple ID from the one you will be using now, you will need to use that Apple ID and password to install app updates for those apps. Not possible to transfer apps purchased with one Apple ID to another or to merge Apple IDs.
