QUOTE(janeration7 @ Oct 27 2014, 12:27 AM) Help! I tried to change my password recently but they told me something had failed. Couldn't login to my mbp after that. Not with the new password or the old password. Tried to restart and hold ctrl R function but didn't work either. What can I do? Depends which OS X version you running, you can follow this guide to reset password:http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14325?viewlocale=en_US http://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/reset-...ssword-mac-osx/ |

QUOTE(boscolokc @ Jan 3 2015, 01:15 PM) Hello, I have a 15" Macbook and my friend dropped it from just about 1 feet height and it started to have problem on the display after about 2 weeks, then I went to the Mac city, they charged me about 3k to change the mother board, the problem was solved for the display. But now I am having a start up issue, it stopped at the Apple logo with loading bar, and it turns off after that. I am thinking if it was the hard drive because I stared the checking with Command +R and it sometime says that it's not able to be repaired, sometime it says appear to be OK. So and suggestions to fix this? Just replace the HDD is confirm it's faulty. Only take < 1 hour to get it done.QUOTE(sOuLx @ Jan 9 2015, 03:48 PM) hi there, i have problem with MBP late 2011. Either the HDD or the SATA ribbon faulty.it cannot boot, and have no entry sign. i read from apple support possibly because of hardisk problem. disk I/O problem. what should i do? QUOTE(JamessAnderson @ Jan 15 2015, 11:02 PM) I have Macbook pro Retina Mid and I am having sound cracking issues and the noise is getting worse day by day. If speakers crack there's no cure unless you replace them.Any advice would be greatly appreciated. |

QUOTE(friedbeef @ Mar 10 2015, 06:53 AM) I'm using a late 2010 Macbook air. I am on Yosemite but hating it. How do I go back to Snow Leopard? I've searched a LOT but can't find any solutions, because I don't have the original install disk (It was 5 years ago). Can someone please, please help me solve this... You will need to get the Mavericks installer online. You should able to re-download it from App Store under the purchased section if you've downloaded it before. Then create a USB installer from it. There are app that help you to make the USB drive.But the crucial part is your files. You will need to have a Time Machines backup right before you upgrade to Yosemite. Else you have to manual transfer your files over after downgrade. |

QUOTE(Ulutorabook @ May 18 2015, 04:43 PM) Hi Guys, I am having problem with my iMac HDD fan. If I run something requiring high graphic usage like Video Rendering or Gaming, it will make a noisy fan sound and then the performance will drop drastically. Which year model is yours?I have done the Hardware test and the error msg confirms it is the HDD Fan. Can anybody share to me, what is the price of repairing it at Apple or whether i shall opt to repair it myself? What error you get? Fan spinning below speed? QUOTE(kenlimfornication @ May 19 2015, 10:39 AM) hi all, Cleaning shouldn't affect the unit performance, in fact, if done right it should run smoother.my fiancee has a 2010 or 2011 MBP and it is super slow, can hardly run word, safari, chrome without having to wait for a minute or so. we just sent it for dust cleaning few months back and we suspect that this happen after installing OS X. Is there common issue we can easily fix? I'm an apple newbie and have never touched it more than once. If you have older model and you install the latest Yosemite, slow is expected, else there might be other issue with your unit. You can try performing simple troubleshooting like repair disk and repair permission, also check if you have enough free space. |

QUOTE(forthepeople @ May 25 2015, 11:31 AM) hi. In general logic board is not cheap. Apple replacement is subjective whether they still accept your old board as exchange. Price can be RM2k+ up to 3-4k depends on model, spec with or without exchange.wanna ask my Mac was struck by lightning last year and the unit is dead. i tried sending it for repair at 3rd party place and they suggested to replace the whole logic board for rm2k (refurbished board). do u know whether Apple will charge the same or not? rm2k is so expensive might as well i buy a new mac mini. |

QUOTE(Apple_DarreN @ Jul 19 2015, 03:13 PM) Hey guys, I'm using a MBPr 13' 2015 model. When that happen, did you plugged in anything else? Specifically some 3rd party USB cable/ device.Sometimes it automatically shuts down, and doesn't turn back on unless I plug in the charger. It isn't due to low battery as well. Last it happened was at 52% charge. Any idea what's going on? Could resetting the SMC or VPAM help? This post has been edited by wei: Jul 20 2015, 05:19 PM |

QUOTE(aibeast @ Aug 30 2015, 08:20 PM) Hello. Just bought a brand new macbook pro retina 13.used for 3-4 months only. Looks like you've pushed your Mac too hard that it overheat and rebooted. Video editing are resource hungry task. If you doing video editing, try to quit other task and ensure the working environment have good air flow, better if air conditioned. It's normal when you run heavy processing work that the Mac heat up. That will lead to system fan spin up, hence the loud noise. If that still doesn't cool the Mac down enough, the system will shutdown or reboot to prevent any hardware failure. In short, that is normal.When i used imovie to edit videos, there was some serious fan noise coming out of the device. This worried me a bit. Is this normal? Im a serious multitasker so i run many apps at one time. Suddenly it forces shut and restarted. Wrote something like the first post on this thread. I read the first aid and did the disk utility, it says the disk is fine. I haven't bought any antivirus yet and i download a lot of pdf n music from online, could this be the cause? And wht type of antivirus suitable to buy thts not gonna burn my purse? Thank you so so much! But if you face that frequently even not doing anything much, we suggest you send your unit to Apple Authorised Service Centre for a check. |

QUOTE(CallMeGucci @ Sep 9 2015, 06:38 PM) It will get warm where it's fine if you touch it.If it's burning hot that you dare not touch then it's not normal. Please get both the charger and Mac a good check it could be a sign something not right. |

Dent = physical damage = cause by user = not a manufacture defect.Warranty is to cover manufacture defects only. Unless you have a solid proof whatever defects you facing are not caused by the impact. |
