MacBook :: 2008 Is Completely Dead After Not Being Used For A Month?
Apr 2, 2012
I got a new Macbook Air and took it on a month-long trip, leaving my 2008 MB at home, discharged. It has all my old files, not backed up. I didn't think this would happen! The charging light shows green and never changes to amber. None of the indicator lights are on and there is no response at all to pushing power, even after hours of charging. I tried taking out the battery, no difference.

just got my laptop a little over a month ago. I have 2 dead pixels on the screen already. The first one, I noticed a few weeks ago and thought it was just a smudge and ignored it. But it hasn't gone away and I researched it a bit and discovered it was a dead pixel (It looks like a small line, thicker at the bottom and thinner at the top of the line). The 2nd one is at the very bottom of the screen and I just noticed it today. I have tried those pixel fixer applications, and they haven't done anything.
I bought my MBP at Best Buy and can't take it back since it's been past the 14 day policy if anything was wrong w/ the screen, to get it repaired or fixed. Plus, I didn't get AppleCare (I'll probably buy it when I graduate college this spring), so I only have the 1-year warranty. However, can if I take it to the Apple store what will they do? Will they fix the screen or just replace it? And since I don't have AppleCare, does anybody know how much it will cost (screen repair vs replacement)?

I accidentally unplugged the surge protector 2 days ago. When I replugged it in, the computer was not turning on. The green light on the tower was on, but with absolutely no signs of life.

I was using Pages while transferring documents to my thumb drive in the background. The display and keyboard went dark. I pressed power, pressed and help power, no result. I disconnected the magsafe and battery, waited, pressed power, still no result. My MacBook was sitting on a wood tabletop and not unusually warm. At first, I thought it was the power supply module, but after googling there are reports of CPUs failing. Some were under warranty and others were not despite the age.

I've been given an iBook g4 (Late 2004 Model according to apple) and... It's completely dead! No lights come up on the Battery when I press the button. I've tried restting the PMU..But nothing yet. I dont have the offical Apple plug, its a replacement one. Can that make much of a difference?

When I close the lid on my MacBook Pro (Late 2008), the battery drains almost completely over a night or so! Very odd. Anyone else dealing with this? I reset the PRAM already.

Well I've had my mbp(new model) for just a month now and the cycle count is up to 60 and battery health has gone down to 96%. Should I be worried or is it normal?

When mac mail downloads, they stay in my Mail Inboxes. But online, on iCloud, I can't see more than the most recent four weeks of email. This means Mac Mail provides no archive on the account on line. What can I do so ALL online email is accessible?

It was just too fitting with this month's issue of wired to not show everyone how I carry my MBA most of the time when I'm 'off the clock'.
I throw the MBA into whatever magazine I'm currently into, and out the door I go. Funny thing is, when it's under your arm being carried in a newspaper or a magazine, most people don't even notice it.

I have a MacBook Pro with a 500gb HDD (early 2011) and a Freedom 2tb external drive for Time Machine. Running latest Lion software
As you can it has space, but only the last few weeks of backup. I've had time machine running for about one year.

I've heard this enough times and want to know if the time capsule really has this problem.

Does anyone else notice that on Leopard's iCal in month view, certain words cause text to be missing.
for example 'The Bluejacks Duo @ The Walkabout, Cardiff' is displayed as 'The Bluejacks Duo @ The Walkabout,'
If you enter 'The Bluejacks Duo @ The Walkabout, Cardiff UK' it works fine and displays all text.
I am convinced this is a bug but it has never been fixed and noone else seems to be mentioning it.

Am I totally dense, or is there no way to edit AM/PM for an event from the "Month" view pop-up in iCal? And also no option in iCal to use a 24-hour clock? Doesn't this make the month view mostly useless, since you never know if the times are AM or PM?

No hourly backups to an external USB2 drive. It did the initial backup and manual backups fine. Just no hourly. Says it's going to do the next backup, that time passes and it does nothing. No errors reported, just no backups. Click to "Backup Now" and it does so happily.

can someone tell me a way to monitor ALL my internet usage per/month or spesific dates. I have looked at some widgets, but none of them do a good job. Please keep in mind that I connect via wireless, USB based 3G modem and ethernet. But I also browse/copy/move files on my local network. So I need true internet usage not including network traffic.

For some reason, the time of my events stopped showing in iCal. I get the event, but the time doesn't show unless I click on the event. The time does show in week view, but I prefer to use month view. This has not been an issue in the past, so I don't know what happened or if I clicked on something accidentally. I tried going to iCal preferences, but I don't see anything that allows me to select "show time in month view" which has been suggested by other usI'm using OS X Yosemite.

Is there really a "Late 2008" model? If so, what is the difference.I ask because I recently got a MacPro and according to Apple's hardware test, it is an Early 2008.

If I have an event, starting on Friday, going on Saturday and and finishing Sunday, is it not possible to get this to show in the month view? I know it shows up in the weekly view, but it would be more helpful for me to have it up show up like this so I can get an overview of the month's forthcoming events. Or if it, are there any mods/addons etc that can enable this?
