New Macbook 12 inches - swollen battery

Hello world

I bought the new MacBook for my father in June 15. He started to use end of August and loved it instantly. Two weeks ago the rear housing began to separate and I took today at the apple store and they said its probably a swollen battery. The gap is increasing day after day.

They want to replace the rear case and battery. I tried to look online for similar problems with other new MacBook but could not find.

It is unfair that I have ask a replacing a laptop 4 months old? Unfortunately, my father and I are the kind of people who will feel with a device that has been played around with. Any advice on this subject? I want to be able to use and as his laptop computer with confidence. His old Macbook Pro, never required anything and after 5 years its still continues.

Thank you for your help in advance.

You can have the problem repaired under warranty active sn if you take it to your local Apple store. They will not replace the computer if it can be repaired. Just because the battery is faulty don't anyway indicte that is the computer, too.

  • Connect new Macbook (USB - C) to dual-link DVI display?

    I have a new Macbook (12 inches, retina - love), with a single USB - C. I also have a (old) Apple Cinema HD Display that would like the dual-link DVI connector.

    How can I connect these two together?  It doesn't seem to be a combination of Apple adapters/connectors that will do the job for me.

    You must first of all the USB - C for HDMI av digital multiport adapter.

  • On the life of the battery of my new Macbook 2015

    Dear all,

    I bought a NEW MACBOOK 2015 version and the battery is not not as advertised might work for 9 hours. Do I know what application or adjustment should I change/adjust in order to get the battery life up to 9 hours of battery life perfect? I'm just a user with light mail scanning and safari surf.

    My new macbook could only maximum operated from 7 hours fully charged same. Need expert help.

    Have you read the many entries in this thread:

    New MacBook by getting only 5 hours of battery life

    Skimming it I can see that there are a number of frustrated users, while others have no problems. It is fairly typical of a computer problem. There are suggestions on how to reduce battery drain and to monitor the status of the battery. Interesting to read but no promises.

    Good luck

  • What do I have to pay 2 or 3 times for my new Macbook Air?

    I just got a new Macbook Air 2016.  I works very well and I am very satisfied.  When my battery is at 15%, I start to think how long I have to charge for the first time charge. I know that the batteries are better than they were a few years ago.  How about a new?.  I also perform an Internet search to find an answer, but it seems that I can't find a reasonable answer.  Therefore, I posted this question and I hope you c

    Just to charge once 100% will do so.

    Do not load more than once because it is a new battery.

    You can keep the computer in use.

    Keep the computer plugged in whenever possible.

    If you keep the computer always connected, make sure that at least twice a month

    Run it on battery until battery charge level falls to about 40-50%.

    Please don't completely discharge the battery. Discharge the battery completely will reduce wear and tear on the battery.

  • Problems with the new Macbook pro 15' maxed out

    Here's a quick post about my experience so far with the new macbook pro. I just got a brand new fully maxed out in spec macbook pro 15 inch 1 to SSD 16 GB RAM AMD R9 370 m GPU (set to automatic switching is not always) and a 2.8 to 4 GHz i7. I turned on and set it up which was nice and took 2 minutes. Then experience decreased a little when I saw an EST 05:36 hours of battery life remaining to 94%. So I loaded 100% and it is still 60% of battery life announced and no program running that I literally just signed a brand new machine.

    Then I tried to use the migration wizard to import a backup of my iMac 5 k so I can do everything on this clone for my laptop. After having successfully connected (he told me if my password for time machine was incorrect or not) it froze and did nothing, continue did nothing.

    Then place had to call support, was a guy on the phone in 30 seconds and I unplug and restart the machine time, always that same question so I transferred to a guy with "more training". The new guy I could say knew a little more and knew that I knew how to set my password or if I walked in their properly for a bit but they all have been set for the same password just for this. I created a second admin account called "test" under his leadership, and when the migration assist froze on this account, he was surprised and proceeded to transfer me off.

    I preceded to restore fully the machine into thinking that my account setup is causing trouble with the migration assistant, and it turns out that the closure of that laptop it can only continue to 'download additional components', while that connected for 30 minutes so all last night was wasted, and now I guess he's got 5 left 12 hours to download original 'things '. Keep in mind that I can download 5 GB in one hour... After he wake up this morning and ending up where I left it last night :/ he says 84 hours go, now 72 and 51 and it is not updated even once in seconds, it took 20 minutes to 84 minutes to 51, it's literally a day 2 reset extravagance or what? Just to download it I can only imagine the actual plant until I can install my programs.

    The cost of the laptop was about $3600 but paid ~ $2900 after headphones were included and $250 off for delivery to students and other issues on the agenda of the process itself that is not my complaint, what happens, but sitting with a new camera and support useless just to ask me if I can use actually tomorrow at this price are unacceptable.

    I would like to continue using it for a while.

    You can try to reset the SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964

  • Start again with new Macbook Pro to get iphotos?

    Hello.  I just bought a new Macbook Pro.

    • MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, early 2015)
    • Yosemite 10.10.5 (14F27)

    I implemented and transferred all my old information of Macbook Pro's Time Machine, which was on an external hard drive.

    • I don't know if I've used Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant
    • It took about 24 hours to pass through the automatic processes
    • Despite unacceptable all the time, everything now works like a charm and I have all my old settings.

    Except that... aaah!... seven years of photos are gone from my iphoto library!  My old computer was erased and sold, so imagine my panic.

    Looking at my TM backups, I think that the pictures are there, but I can't seem to them.

    • I can't copy the iphoto for my new Macbook library because it is something outrageous like GB 131 (I don't understand).
    • Import of the former library through the Photos app on my new Macbook translated "year error occurred while repairing permissions."
    • I can't do anything to the old iphoto library because I do not have the old Macbook.

    I read something to the effect that there is a way in the configuration wizard for a box to check and retrieve the iphoto library.  I'm completely willing to start with the new Macbook.  I have only used it for about three weeks and don't need whatever it might be saved.

    I would appreciate any advice on how to recover my photos of TM on my external hard drive.  If this notice includes restarting, please specify the EXACT measurements!

    Thank you in advance.

  • Fusion 6 installation on a new Macbook pro with Maverick

    I want to install fusion on my new macbook retina 15 6 inches, will be fusion 6 partition the drive or should I start using bootcamp and installed windows on a partition and fusion 6 I put aside?

    IMO CAD software will work still better installed under one OS natively installed on a physical hardware but with the speed of the processors of our days and the amount of RAM available to the consumer software CAD systems can preform well in a virtualized environment.  The large and more complexed work is obviously performance will be degraded more quickly in a virtualized environment and then when it is running in native mode.  My recommendation would be to test it on a Virtual Machine first and not to activate Windows or CAD software, if possible until you have tested and feel that its performance is satisfactory when virtualized.

    Also note if you use CAD software is activated using a calculated material hash and phones home so if you install it natively under Windows installed via Boot Camp and then choose to run the partition Boot Camp in a Virtual Machine, you may encounter the problem of reactivation of product and may not be able to run in both environments.  I suggest strongly of what you discuss with the making of a CAD software that you want to use before you continue!

  • Buying a new macbook pro - RAM is more important? What is Core i5 processor?

    I plan to buy a new macbook and can't know if I should get 13 inches 2.66 GHz dual core with an upgrade to 8 GB of ram, or rather to get Core i5 15 inch 2.4 GHz and 4 GB of ram.  I move from a PC.  Only use VMWare Fusion mainly for MSoffice (MS Word/Excel) and Outlook. Messages I've read seem to collide on the RAM, many say its more important for VMWare, others say max 1 GB allocated and that too allocated at startup of Windows actually degrades performance. Any guidance appreciated!

    Hi Jossol. Personally, I would say that still more RAM the better when it comes to a desktop based vm environment. I run a Core2Duo 2 GHz with only 2 GB of RAM on a test machine and the CPU is barely affected. It's the same in our environment ESX, RAM is being consumed at a rate much higher than CPU, especially if just using a virtual machine with office etc.

    However, to be honest, it sounds as if the two options will do what you want with very little trouble. As a processor is generally much more expensive upgrade RAM (generally less expensive and more convenient to buy a new laptop) it might be the best option to go with the i5 Core option now and then upgrade of RAM when the next version of Windows arrives and is linked to more memory to run the application.

  • Could new macbook 12 2015 heavy performance excels on bootcamp?

    Currently I use MBPr 13 and it works very well in microsoft office via bootcamp. However, I'm interesting on the new macbook 2015 since it is more portable and my lifestyle is just using MBPr for youtubing, facebooking and working on spreadsheets via bootcamp programs.

    My concern is if new macbook 2015 could launch heavy spreadsheets for example Excel, powerpoint via bootcamp smoothly. This is because the specification of the new macbook is much lower than MBPr 13.

    I migrated to an i5 to a 12 MB m7 13MBPr, and to be honest, the two laptops 'feel' at the same speed.  (Besides, my i7 11MBA at home also "feels" substantially the same.)  The graphics accelerated on the 13MBPr were a little faster, but seemed very similar to the processor and storage.  My 2015 MBPr received a core 3596 geekbench, the m7 12 MB Gets a 2947 and my 11MBA becomes 3182, as they're all pretty close.

  • Extraction of files from a time capsule that contains data of 3 different MacBooks. If I added a new macbook but I wanted only to select files. How can I find these files?

    If I have 3 different MacBooks stored on time capsule but I want only to add the files selected to a new macbook how I do it,

    find and retrieve files from these devices? How to retrieve the complete set of files for an individual device?

    If I wanted to get back anything, what is the process for this?

    Thank you

    The correct method is to migrate. Use the migration assistant in the Utilities folder.

    However migrate doesn't have the fine selection you're after, if you do not want the entire folder like documents.

    You could find to manual aperture and copy the sparsebundle to Time Machine works ok... Use just traverse other disks of the main options of TM TM it in the dock.

    It might not allow you to recover files but I found that I could copy them into TM and then paste the files by jumping out to finder.

    Or you can migrate to another place is to say USB drive plugged into the computer and then retrieve files in a simple copy and paste... Although permissions can be a pain, and you must correct them before you can copy stuff to your own computer files.

  • Not an Airprint printer can be configured with a new Macbook Air?

    Recently purchased a new Macbook Air.   Can it be configured with an older printer on our WiFi network that has no Airprint?

    Sure. At the end of the day, COMMAND + P (or CTRL + P in Windows) always sends this same basic command PRINT to the default printer. Any printer that is.

    The only problem is the printer driver software. If the manufacturer of the printer has written a driver that works with MacBook Air, download it, install it and make your old default printer.
