It's so much cheaper to get it on ebay. Is this a good way to go? Or should I go through Apple? thoughts?
Can you get AppleCare on a refurbed MacBook Pro bought through Apple?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got a Macbook Unibody which is still covered under AppleCare, and I discovered that the battery has swollen and became slightly bigger, enough for the battery cover not to close properly. The battery has only 200 cycles and is still on 84% capacity, and I have AppleCare until November 2011, so I thought it was a battery defect and took it to my local Apple reseller. (no Apple stores here yet )
So, after two days I was told that they had checked my Macbook and found the cause for the battery to swell up: there was a lot of dust on what seems the output of the processor disippator (a place I wouldn't be able to reach myself to clean, as I would have to disassemble it), and that dust caused the processor to become hotter (even though I hadn't noticed it) and that too much heat caused the battery to swell up.
But the funny thing is: Apple won't authorize the battery replacement, because they say it is not a battery defect, as it was caused by the processor heating because of the dust that got there by "normal usage" and I couldn't clean by myself. They told me I should have got there by the time I noticed my laptop becoming hotter than before so they could have cleaned it, but now it was just too late.
So I was left with the laptop and the swollen battery again, after I refused for them to charge me for the battery a little bit more than the price that I could get it from the online Apple Store.
any experience with swollen after normal usage batteries? Will the battery swell up more if I keep using it? Do you have any idea on how to convince Apple to give me a new battery? (after all, batteries aren't supposed to swell up, aren't they?)
How and where do you get Apple Computers repaired after Applecare has run out, and what sort of costs would be involved. Only asking because I have equipment that it has run out on and the wife wants the box/boxes gotten rid off....

I just bought a $10 iTunes card and I want to by iMovie from the Mac App Store. (which brings my balance to $16.48) My problem is whenever I try to buy this product I'm sent to the billing page. I don't have a credit card so I select "none" and try to purchase iMovie again. But it just sends me back to the billing page. I don't want to buy another card in order to redeem something on the billing page so what do I do?

How do I get Apple to return the paid version of a certain app back to the App store? The free limited version is still available but the paid version with more features has been removed. I know people who want to get this app and cannot. It is Word Play Online and has a very loyal following with over 50,000 names playing and yet is gone from the App Store. How can I find out where it went?

so I have a mid 2010 2.66 i7 MBP, and the hard drive failed today (I have it back up running off an external HD). I called Applecare and Apple all but demanded I drive 3+ hours to an Apple store to get it looked at.Spending a day driving and at an Apple store is not in the cards.I asked they just ship me a new HDD and I'll put it in, but they don't want to do that.I will have to ship the laptop back to ??? and wait until they send it back.Is this common?I have used Applecare before with a new MBP years ago and they just shipped me a replacement.This MBP is near my replacement cycle, but I'm not ready yet.

Does anyone know if you can upgrade say the hard disk of a base level macbook pro (13 inch i'm looking at) AT the apple store? I guess to illustrate my point - I'm looking at the baseline 13 inch macbook pro and I wanted to upgrade the hard drive from the 160 gb - maybe the 300 or 500 gb hard drive. Because I'm only stopping by for a day I wanted to buy one on the spot (thus getting it at an apple store rather than buying it online).
View 5 Replies View RelatedCan you call an Apple Store and purchase something that they will hold for you when you come in? I wanted to pick up a macbook pro today but it's an hour drive and want to make sure it's available at that configuration. Also do they need to see the credit card used? It's a corporate card that I don't physically have on me.

A. Install OSX onto a usb device (Cost 30-40 bucks for usb)
B. Take to apple store, Maybe they can do it.
I can't dual boot because my HD is MBR. I heard the new firmware updates stop a lot of issues.
After the midnight update, now when I go to buy any of the Macbook Pros (the 'Select' button) I get "The page you're looking for can't be found." Everything else seems to work.
I have purchased numerous films to watch via apple TV (original model), only to find that I am now out of disc space. I have a time capsule, but how can I store the movies yet access them on apple tv?

My Macbook Pro CD drive is not functioning properly. What do I bring when I go to drop it off at the Apple Store to get fixed. Also, how long would you estimate this fix to take? If it cannot be repaired would Apple replace the computer? I have had this computer for under a year and I have purchased the Apple Protection Plan.

I have a Macbook Pro, OS X Lion, that needs to be restored. Will the USB KEY on Apple Store site do the job?I have a Macbook Pro, OS X Lion, that needs to be restored. Will the USB KEY listed on the Apple Store site do the job? Looking at the listing, it speaks only about upgrading..but a local computer store (no nearby Genius Bar) insists it will boot the system and do the full reinstall.

I was just looking at the apple care prices for my macbook (2.0ghz aluminum) and it is $183. I am looking in the educational store, not sure if that has a discount or not. The macbook pro apple care is $239. So all the people that get the 13" mbp that came out this week now have to shell out an additional $56 just because it says "pro" on the label?
