I'm wanting to buy a used lower spec mac tower, and fix it up as a little project. Aside from the typical upgrades one might do, I would love to have the case painted. I was wondering, it possible to take the chassis apart into pieces? (after gutting it of course) What holds these things together? Rivets? Something I'd need a specialty tool for? Or perhaps it cant be done?

I accidentally slid the Hard Drive in the top bay of my Powermac G5 ini upside down. After sliding the bottom one in right side up I and then realizing what I've done, I'm not able to pull the bottom one out to fix the problem. Does anyone know how I might get the casing that holds the hard drives in out of the tower so I can get the hard drives out?

When I run my finger anywhere over the aluminium chassis my finger feels like either the laptop is vibrating, or there is a tiny grain of sand under my finger tip.
I know these are both untrue as when my finger is stationary it doesnt do it, and also I can use any finger or even my wrist as i type this.
Then, when I unplug the magsafe, it ceases to do it!
Am I barking up the wrong tree, and also why does it do it only when my finger is moving?
Is this a new issue or has anyone else had their replacement charger causing a funny feeling under the fingers?
I used all different paint apps for my mac but nothing that good like windows paint. So anything good like windows paint or close to it?
View 3 Replies View RelatediPhoto is great, but I need something like windows Paint, that can edit photos, i.e. color in/out a license plate on a car pic and what not. I'm looking for a simple and hopefully free equivalent, not a professional program at this time. I'm new to mac, so I don't know what's out there and didn't see anything listed in the help menu for mac apps here.

What is the mac equivalent to paint?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have only just moved over from PC to Mac.
Paint shop pro 8 was the last program that I used.
I have a old mac 128k I found in my attic (with every manual, floppy disk and box still in the shrink wrap) and I'm probably going to paint it green/black or something. What's the easiest way to do this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedIts been a while since I have switched over to mac now but basically the only thing I miss about windows is MS Paint, I liked to have the free, simple photo editing tool, I basically just used it for cropping screenshots and things of that nature, anyway, I'm wondering if there is any free equivalent of MS Paint for mac.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI love my new mac mini but I miss paint. I used it alot for simple editing, such as resizing an image, cutting in it and maybe add some text.. stuff like that. I cant really find another program that does the same things in a quick and simple way.
also, how the hell do I take a snapshot of the screen when there's no print screen button?
Googled/searched the forums for this, didn't find a whole lot.Found this --> http://tenonedesign.com/sketch.php, which seems cool/accurate for only $15. But what I'm wondering is what app this uses to capture the input. Is there another app that just lets me use my finger?

is there a flip down cover on the Mac Pro casing?
In other words, with a third part optical drive, is the colour of the tray exposed at all times (showing black or beige) or is this covered by something when the tray is closed?
ive read that macbooks get cracks on the casing. i have a black macbook from 08 and its had the crack since about 2 months after i got it, i didnt do it. it kind of gradually turned into a crack and then a peice came off, if i brought it to a macstore, would they fix it even though i dont have insurance? I actually have 2 cracks, one that i didnt do and one that happened by accident, would they fix it if one of the 2 cracks was done accidentaly by me?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe new MacBook and MacBook Pro don't just want to impress you with their fancy new fabrication techniques, unibody designs and bolstered performance: they want to make you more honest, at least when it comes to reporting water damage. According to the service manuals, the new line of MacBooks include submersion sensors, designed to indicate if the laptops have been exposed to excessive levels of moisture and/or dropped in your toilet.
Phones, including Apple's own, have been fitted with these little stickers for years, but they're a rarity in laptops. You might want to think twice before you forget to mention the "used as a prop in an elaborate college drinking game" part on your next Applecare claim. [URL]
Recently, the plastic casing around the screen of my Macbook OS X has chipped, and the piece has now been lost...Â
[URL]
Here is a rather blurred example of what I mean ^ About 5 months ago the plastic on my keyboard also chipped along the edge, and when taking it to apple, they said that it was just a design fault (this macbook is from 2009!) and they repaired it within 2 hours free of charge. I just wondered if it would be the same for the screen casing, as no other damage has happened technically. This just happened, it wasn't even an accident - I just opened up the lid and the little thing chipped off, no warning!

my 2009 macbook pro screen is signficantly seperated from the casing which is now starting to affect the laptops performance.Apple refuse to fix it as its older than 1 year and they say its been caused by me dropping it? Its never been dropped and lives in two cases! WHO DROPS A 2K LAPTOP WITHOUT REALISING?Apple genius was very rude when I took it to ask for some help, being a student I cant afford the repair quote they gave me. I don't see how a global company like apple just refuse to acknowledge how this is affecting not just a few isolated cases, but hundreds.According to the sale of goods act "If the retailer or manufacturer’s warranty has run out, the shop is often quick to say there is nothing they can do before attempting to sell you an extended warranty. This is misleading. If you buy something which should last 7 years but breaks down after a year and a day, you can still claim it was of poor quality in reference to the durability aspect."Â

My Macbook Pro slipped off my legs and fell onto a carpeted floor today. The Superdrive looks bent along with the casing. I have applecare and want to take it to the store later. I'm wondering what the chances are that they will replace this for free and what I should be expecting to pay.

(im in the uk and there are no apple stores near me!) As you can see i nthe pics below to the left hand side of the keyboard is where most of the 'crack' has happened, the whole 'line' actually peels away and pulls off and is literally the thin piece of plastic topping, similar is now starting to happen to the right side (which may not be viewable in the pictures)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a 2,1 White MacBook from 2007. Early last year, 2009, my casing cracked on the palmrest. I know this is an extremely common problem and the repairs are fully covered by Apple, regardless of warranty. My case also has a few of the hairline cracks near the exhaust vent and hinge.
I have yet to have these problems repaired. At first I just didn't feel like going to an Apple store. Now that the MacBook casing has changed to the unibody design, I wonder if the future repair will be affected for better or worse.
I have AppleCare for four years, until 2011.
Does anyone know how Apple is fixing these casing problems in 2010 now that the unibody MacBooks are out? I expect it is very likely that Apple has plenty of the old hardware on hand, but I would like to think I could get a very nice uMB upgrade for free, even if I need to wait longer to get it.
I have the 13" White Macbook but wanna change it to the original black case. I wanted to purchase it on eBay. Is that possible or not? I want to get the black one but the white macbook I have already has Adobe CS4/Microsoft Office 2008/Final Cut installed and I dont want to lose those programs because I really need them for graphic design.
