Would apple consider displaying hazards on their products, for example, the effects of mercury in their lapotops if they are dumped?

I am a student doing a project on electrical waste. One of my concepts revolve around the MacBook Pro and I was wondering if apple would consider displaying the effect of their product if it was dumped, for example, a warning printed on the front of the packaging warning on how the mercury in the laptop could cause brain damage if dumped, very similar to that printed on the front of a cigarette box? This is not a proposal to apple.... it is just to help with my university project to see if realistically my idea would be accepted.

These are user-to-user forums where everyday folk post "technical" questions and offer answers to each other voluntarily. No one here works for Apple nor does Apple get involved in responding.
Your best bet would be to contact Apple directly - Contact Us or post on the Product Feedback website.

Hi guys! Can I pick your savvy brains on something: I've been seeing people having a mini version of the Apple logo displaying next to their Twitter names, looks pretty cool, how does one do that? Thanks!

My iphone 4S charging port broke and it has no warranty any more, would apple fix my phone if i take it to the store or can i get a new iPhone 4s or at least a refurbished one?

An Apple store will replace it for $199.

Do you have any clue? Have several issues on a new MacBookPro but it's propably "PEBKAC" made..

It is Command+r or for the online internet system it is Command+option/Alt+r keys. Then you use Disk Utility to erase the macintosh partition, from the built in recovery hd, or you can repartition the drive as one partition from the online system.
To actually get to the online internet system you have to hold that key combo down until you see a globe on the screen. Otherwise it will just boot from the built in recovery hd on the internal drive.

I once created an account and changed meanwhile my Apple ID. Now, when trying to log in to iCloud, I get the message: "You are already logged in". I cannot get access to the account in the way, that, for example, the options appear on the right hand side.

What can I do?

Thank you, pvonk, but:
To be more precise: I am talking about the logging-in within the System Preferences on my iMac.
When trying to log in with the old ID, I get no access, i.e. it says "Try again"...-Trying the same with the new one gives me the result I mentioned in my first question...
Now I found out how to do it: I had to erase all accounts-then I could sign in with my Apple-ID. Thanks again.

Would apple consider unlocking phones once they are old?

Hey Apple and community,
first post here, long time reader.
Recently in my home we bit the bullet and decided to say bye bye to a couple of iphone 3gs' we have upgraded to 2xiphone 5's and and iphone 4. As we do a lot of travelling I have paid to have these genuinely factory unlocked to use alternative sim cards and networks.
the 3GS's are now effective paperweights. The cost of unlocking them is roughly $100 total (AT&T US and Rogers CA). the phones wont sell for this and I would love to donate them to charity or someone who cannot afford a smart phone.
I think it would be very cool if Apple considered unlocking phones once they are a certain age ie 5 years old. It seems a waste that phones would go in the bin (trash) when they are obsolete by our standards but probably very cool and modern by someone else's. At the very least its pro reuse reduce recycle.
What do you think? Would Apple go for it?
Cheers,
appleyoranges

I didn't check AT&T but I did check Rogers and it was $50 so I assumed the other fifty was AT&T. Perhaps they had two Rogers phones. I don't know. If AT&T doesn't charge then it's not so harsh of them after all.
I'm not sure that they don't. However, I've never heard that they do and I couldn't find anything that says they do. Of course, it would hardly be the first time a large company has made it difficult to find some of the less pleasant details on their website.

If I buy a screen for my macbook air, would apple still make me pay a lot for them to repair??

I bought a macbook air and the inside casing is gone. If I replaced a whole screen which is cheaper than apple, would apple repair it for me if I gave them the part??

Hi dmui31,
Unfortunately that's not how the Apple repair process works. If you pay for Apple to do it then they use their own parts and return the machine to you with a working computer and a 90-day limited warranty. Apple repairs portables with usually a "flat rate" option, you pay a nominal fee and they'll fix anything/everything for that price. This is especially convenient if it turns out the part that was perceived to the problem isn't.
If you decide to purchase the part yourself then you're in DYI territory. Many "Apple repair shops" will work with customer supplied parts but from experience they'll charge more in labor than if you let them sell your part and the labor for the installation.

Can I use an Apple Cinema Display as a second monitor for my iMac?

I have a new 24" intel iMac and was wondering if I could use my old 20" Apple Cinema Display (aluminum) as a dual display. What cables do I need?

Just had a good look inside my box and nothing. Maybe it's a Apple UK thing
The back of my iMac does have a Mini DVI port so I'm gonna pop down the Apple store tomorrow morning to pick one up.
Thanks for the advice, I'll let you know if I'm successful.

IPhone 4 will not charge using apple charger displays this device not supported for charging

The iphone will connect to iTunes but will not charge with the charger or computer. It has been reset, and that didn't help.

Hey endifrommiami,
Check out the website link on my profile and then navigate to the products section of the site, there are solutions to fixing your specific charging iPhone problem there.

I used to have task or shortcuts show up when I would right click on the FF Icon on the task bar. After installing 4.0 they are all gone. How do I get these back? or restore them to what they were?

Win 7 task bar has a Fire Fox Icon. Before installing FF 4.0 I could right click on the Icon and it would show short cuts to various sights, which when clicked on would open that sight in FF.
They are all gone now. What happened? Is there a way to get these back?

A few hidden preferences to check to make sure that the jump lists are enabled:
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# In the filter box type '''browser.taskbar.lists''' this should bring up a few preferences
# To enable all parts of the jump list, make sure the following preferences are set to '''true''', if they are not double-click to them to change their value
## browser.taskbar.lists.enabled
## browser.taskbar.lists.frequent.enabled
## browser.taskbar.lists.recent.enabled
## browser.taskbar.lists.tasks.enabled

I purchased a used macbook and the other persons apple id information is still on this for example apple updates it wont allow me to update apps unless i am logged in with his email. how do i change that

i got a used macbook and the other persons apple id is still connected to the macbook. for example i cant update apps unless i have his passwod but i dont wanna pay for apps such as iphoto and more. is there anything i can do? this is a macbook 13 inch late 2008 model

You're going to have to purchase those apps for yourself. The seller shouldn't have left anything he had purchased on the computer when he sold it to you.

HT201342 Are Apple email addresses @me @icloud etc good for life? Even if you go with a non-Apple mobile phone later on? Gmail is for life, so the only way someone should switch is if they are for life.

I would like to switch my main email account from @gmail.com to @me.com and @icloud.com, but only if the is some assurance of the long term ownership of these Apple email addresses. I have never seen any such statement. It is unfortunate and irresponsible that colleges and universities offer enticing email accounts that they destroy when anyone leaves or graduates.
And it is just stupid because it would cost very little to sustain them for life, would be good advertising, and likely raise alumni giving by many times more than the cost of the emails. I need to know Apple does not do that when one switches cell phone manufacturer. I mean Steve Jobs is no longer with us, what if product quality declines? And I switch to Samsun but like my Apple email address?
Any thoughts or evidence of Apple's position on this issue would be muchly appreciated.
Thanks, Mark

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I understand your point of view. @mac.com addresses were created in 2005 and they're still running if you have iCloud. As you've seen with MobileMe, Apple discontinued it and deleted all the email addresses that weren't migrated to iCloud, but once you've MobileMe, you don't need an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac to migrate to iCloud because you could do it with the computer you want.
Apple won't delete your mail address and, if they're going to do that, they'll advise you, but I can't predict the future

I have 2 iPads, they both have the same apple I'd and password. Can I change the I'd and password on one so they will operate separately. Right now when my husband adds a game etc. it goes on mine too. Also the information in pages that I put in shows up

CAn I change the apple I'd and password on one of my two iPads and will they both operate separately. Right now when my husband adds a game it also is added to the other one and when I add recipes in pages, they go into the other I pad too. When I purchased the new iPad I was told I had to have the same apple Id as the first one, I would like them to be separate, is this possible?

You need to create a new Apple ID to use with the other iPad, then sign out in Settings>iCloud and sign in with the new ID. Of course any data such as contacts and calendars which have been synced from the first iPad will be removed from the second one when you do this.

How do I get multiple files to open in the same alpha-numeric sort order in which they are displayed in Finder?

If I drag a bunch of files to, e.g., Adobe Photoshop they seem to open in strange orders. This makes automating any sort of editing workflow next to impossible. Is there some way to get programs to open files in the same order in which I see them? This is the default behaviour in Windows and it's really helpful when you have hundreds of files (or even just a few) that need to be processed in a certain order. Thanks for any help you might provide.

You're welcome.
What's likely happened is that when you transferred the video to the new machine they lost their dates.
Photos use the Exif metadata to record the date and time of the shot. This is quite different from the date and time of the file, which can change as the file is copied from place to place. Video doesn't have Exif, and so iPhoto uses the file date, and that's changed.
Simply, there's no absoultely reliable way to date video.
Try assign dates with the Batch Change command under the Photos menu.

Would apple consider displaying hazards on their products, for example, the effects of mercury in their lapotops if they are dumped?
