Would Apple exchange my Macbook for a new one for free?

Will Apple exchange my Macbook for another without having to pay the '10% Restocking Fee'? It has been under 2 weeks since I've bought my Macbook. The reason I want to exchange it is because:
Ever since I've installed the latest updates, my Macbook has been performing like a 1980 computer, not a 2007 computer. Since I've installed the updates, it has:
1.) Loading pages on the internet has slowed down by ALOT. I mean it takes about 20 seconds to load the Apple.com page.
2) My download speed has slowed down to about 60/KB per sec. It used to be about 600/KB per sec.
3) Videos take FOREVER to load, as if I had dial-up. I have Cable Internet.
4) Games I play lag WAY more then they did before the updates. A game has even froze. It never used to do this.
Would Apple replace my Macbook for free? And is it worth returning, I mean, Would a HD format or something fix my problems?
I've tried emptying the cache, trying Firefox, resetting my PRAM, and nothing seems to work totally.

  • Hi, my 4th generation 8gb white ipod charger port is broken, would apple replace my product for free if I'm not insured?

    Hi, my 4th generation 8gb white ipod charger port is broken, would apple replace my product for free if I'm not insured?

    I doubt it since that type of damage is caused by the user, not a defect. You can always make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and ask
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Otherwise, Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for $99.

  • I just recently bought my macbook pro 13 inch with still a 1 year battery warranty. When I don't even use my laptop, it drains my battery 30%. Would apple change my battery for free if i have a 1 year warranty on it?

    Do you think i should go to an Apple store to change my battery or go to the store where i bought it?

    Your battery would slowly drain during any period of disuse even if it were removed from the computer and nothing were connected to it at all. A fundamental property of every battery is that whenever it isn't being charged, it's draining. If your compputer is shut down entirely, expect the battery to lose 0.5-1% per 24 hours without AC power connected. When it's sleeping, it will lose closer to 1% per hour. In either situation, leaving the AC adapter plugged in will prevent the battery from draining more than 5-7% in total before it starts to charge back up again.

  • Does Apple discount existing MacBooks when the new ones come out?

    I haven't bought a Mac in over 10 years and I don't how Apple does business. I want a new MacBook Pro, but I'm not in a super-rush. I can wait another three months, if necessary.
    The current MacBook Pro (top of the line) is more than sufficient for me, it's just a little expensive. I certainly don't need whatever's coming next, but the current 17" is mighty attractive.
    When Apple releases the new MacBook Pro's ... (1st quarter 2010, right?) ... do the existing high-end 2009 models usually sell at a big discount to get rid of the current inventory? You know ... (like car guys say) ... blowing out last years models to make room for the 2010's?
    Is that the cheapest time to buy the previous model? When Apple releases the newest ones?

    There is no "blow-out sale" when the new models come out, at least through Apple. Apple generally keeps a very tight inventory (only a few days worth evidently) on hand, so when new models are about to be released, they are pretty low on inventory of the existing model. In fact, when new models are up for sale through Apple, the older ones disappear from their website/stores.
    Some 3rd party resellers may have discounts on older models, but they too are usually not of the "huge sale" type. A 10% discount is usually pretty generous.
    Other options are to buy a refurbished machine through Apple's website (cheapest option), or if you're a student, faculty, or staff member of an academic institution, take advantage of the student discount (also around 10%)

  • 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.

    I was walking with my macbook open when suddeny i fainted, my macbook fell off my hands and i was unconcious so i idid not see it fall or where it hit, when i noticed it fell i paniced the system worked perfectly so i was okay. Later that day i was checking it to make sure and the bottom right corner is bended a little and seems broken with a bit missing, the black thing connecting the screen with the bottom is popping out and when i flip my mac it wouldn't stay shut, it would open a bit. one of the screw drivers is falling off. My mac screen cracked and they fixed it for free already one time, would apple fix it again for free. I am really worried because now my macbook will not close completly and im scared that the screen will start getting lose. Is there any way possible to fix this after i woke up from fainting i saw my computer closed and flip i think it fell on it's side. would apple care for this, it has less than 1 year of use so i have guarantee but i think it is only for system issues. Please help im really scared, If they won't fix it for free how much do you think it would cost to fix it   Thank you
    Please tell me if something like this has happend to you and how you fixed it
    MacBook Pro, it fell

    Since you dropped it the damage is not covered under the warranty (read your warranty.)
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • If i had my iphone 4s stole and i had apple care can i get a new one for free?, if i had my iphone 4s stole and i had apple care can i get a new one for free?

    if i had my iphone 4s stolen and i had apple care can i get a new one for free

    Apple care does not cover theft. It covers manufacturing defects for warranty. You need to contact the police and report it to them. Only insurance would replace a phone, and usually with a deductible. There is no free phone in your future.

  • Will Apple replace my battery for free?

    I have a first gen 15" macbook pro - one of the first production runs which was subject to the battery recall in 2006 (remember? the one that apple insisted had absolutely nothing to do with Sony's exploding batteries...)
    That battery was subsequently replaced under warranty in May 2008 - i had 3 year hardware warranty because i bought it through my uni. However in January this year, it's performance seemed to degrade somewhat so I called Apple - I was told that because Apple had already replaced it once, they would not replace it again, despite it still being within warranty, well below 300 cycles and capacity being in the region of 50% of initial according to Coconut Battery. I was told all i could do was try to calibrate it. I did this and things improved enough for me to drop it. Wish I hadn't because the warranty ended in February.
    I am now in the position of no longer being under warranty and the battery capacity degraded to about 25% of initial capacity. Since i installed Snow Leopard I have had the Service Battery warning. Has anybody had any experiences with Out-Of-Warranty battery replacements? I'm thinking of taking it to an Apple Store but don't want to bother with the journey if they won't replace it - i'll order a non-apple higher capacity one online!

    "Will Apple replace my battery for free?"
    No one here can answer your question because this is a user to user forum. You will need to call Apple yourself & ask them.
    "Condition: Check Battery"
    Means you need a new battery which you already know.
    "Has anybody had any experiences with Out-Of-Warranty battery replacements?"
    Not me personally. However, there have been cases reported here (if you do a fourm search) some users have had their batteries replaced out of warranty. Apparently, Apple does this on a _*case by case*_ basis.
    Your best bet is to call Customer Relations - 1-800-767-2775 plead your case politely & see what they can do for you.
    Good luck!

    No.  but you can sell it privately and use the proceeds towards a newer used model.

  • I just bought a new IMac. I have photoshop elements installed on my old IMac and would like to move it to the new one. How can i do this?

    I just bought a new IMac. I have photoshop elements installed on my old IMac and would like to move it to the new one. How can i do this?

    Unfortunately, adobe doesn't have photoshop elements 6 available for download, as far as i know, so your best bet is to either get an usb dvd drive or use an computer with a dvd drive and copy the contents of the pse 6 dvd to somethiing like
    a flash drive and then copy the contents from that drive to your new computer.
    Do you still have your older mac and it has a dvd drive?
    You can share files between the two using airdrop or an ethernet cable.

    I moved from an old macbook to a new one.  I have installed Office for Mac 2011. I copied all my files from my old notebook onto a hard drive.  On trying to setup my mail, i went into my hard drive and accessed microsoft user identities, office 2011 and it shows the database but wont let me select it.  Its almost as if the file is there but not accessable.  I desperately need to access my old mail.  How do I do this?  I am fairly confident that I copied all files off my old notebook.  Is there a way for me to search for the Database file?  Maybe I copied it to a different location?  Urgent help please.

    Hello mafrerichs and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
    Simplest way is to use Target Disk mode:
    How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode - Apple Support
    and hook to another Mac and use CCC or SuperDuper and clone your HD to another drive.
    You could also pull the drive out of your MBP and use an external USB case or SATA - USB dongle to hook it to another Mac.

  • Best way to transfer files from old Macbook Pro to new one?

    I just got a new Macbook Pro from Apple...YEEEEAAAHHHH! 
    So....
    What's the best way to transfer files from old Macbook Pro to new one?  I know Migration assistant, but is there a recommended way?  I don't want to put do a system restore or transfer everything from the old laptop, but I do want to move important things like photos, music, documents and such over.  Any suggestions on best way to do this?
    Another question, perhaps subquestion.  If I have, say, an older version of iPhoto but a newer version of one on my new Macbook Pro, will it still transfer photos no problem?
    Just looking for hints from the experts so this puppy is set up in the best way possible.

    Just one comment on this:
    ‘If I have, say, an older version of iPhoto but a newer version of one on my new Macbook Pro, will it still transfer photos no problem?’
    the problems are ALWAYS in the reverse way, when you have the newest (or a newer) version of a given app, and wish to transfer its library to an older version.
    Otherwise, see the link to Pondini.
    I have been using Martin Jahn’s iBackup, with which I have become accustomed and works fine. It also makes daily backups. Its advantage over other apps is that you may add whatever you wish to save, beside its default settings (which you may delete or cancel, of course, even if not recommended); it also has a friendly interface and easily customizable. Of course, this is a personal view, you may try other methods as well, or other backup apps. All are good if you are satisfied and correspond to your needs.

    How do I transfer my creative suite from my old Macbook to my new one?
    Any help would be really appreicated! Thanks!

    You don't transfer anything. You simply deactivate on the old system from the Apple menu --> Deactivate and then install from scratch on the new one.

  • Why is it that the new macbook pro processor upgrade option only offers up to 2.8 Ghz with Intel Dual Core i7, when back in Sep 12 I bought a 2.9 Ghz Intel Dual Core i7 Macbook, is the new one tuned to go much faster anyway?

    Why is it that the new Macbook Pro processor upgrade option only offers up to 2.8 Ghz boosting to 3.3 Ghz with Intel Dual Core i7, when back in Sep 12 I bought a 2.9 Ghz boosting to 3.6 Ghz Intel Dual Core i7 Macbook, is the new one tuned somehow to go much faster anyway, or will the new one be slower in fact?  Or does the solid state drive compensate for the lack of increased processor capacity?

    The CPU's come from different Intel 'families'.  The older ones are 'Ivy Bridge' and the newer ones are 'Haswell'.  Numbers alone will not determine the efficiency of  CPU.
