Apple Computer TechCurioustress asked:


My husband recently upgraded his Mac operating system and had problems. He brought it to a Mac store and THOUGHT he had the problem fixed. Now, none of his programs will launch. The Mac tech is not available until Wed.

My poor husband is MISERABLE … this computer is his work … he is a commercial artist and he is basically shut down until midweek. Life is bad around here until this problem is fixed.

Is there anyone out there (who has a strong understanding of Mac/Apple systems) that could lend a hand … maybe help him get things going??

Thanks so much for whatever help could be given.

Apple Computer Tech Repairer asked:


I am a college student living on my own. I have been working at an apple authorized repair center in Northern California as an Apple Certified Technician for over a year now. With rent, phone bills, gas, and bus fares, nine dollars an hours isn’t really cutting it. Is nine an hour a fare salary?

Apple Computer Tech deafiesrock asked:


I bought my ipod about 2 years ago (The warranty is finished so I can’t call apple tech support without paying for it), It was “connected” to my itunes on my dell computer. This computer is now dead, and had to be reconfigured. I haven’t updated my ipod in about a year. Now I have a new macbook and want to use the itunes. The only options it gives me when I plug in my ipod is, I can transfer all itunes purchases to this itunes, or i can erase all the music to match the itunes. Neither of these options suit me and I can’t de-authorize the ipod on the other computer because the itunes is long gone. How can I switch my ipod to this computer, while keeping all my music?

Apple Computer Tech ipodnano_lover asked:


I love Apple products, so I’m wanting to get the new Macbook. I’ve not owned an apple computer since the colored series they had years back.

I just have some questions:

1). Amazon says it isn’t released yet, is this true? If so, when will it be released?

2). I know it’s not smart to buy something when it is brand new. Is this true with Apple as well, if there are problems, how will they be worked out?

3). How does the wireless work? I have a wireless network at home for my laptop and would like to use it for this as well. Also what about wireless for travel?

4). This would mostly be for traveling and for work, is this a good computer for that?

5). I currently use an AMD Athlon 64 processor 3000+ is the processor on the low end model going to be a lot better than what I have now?

6). Would a regular computer tech be able to fix this, or do they need to be mac?

7). The case looks shiny, is it gonna scratch like the pods?

Thanks!
Is this a good computer for just everyday use? Not necessarily for business?

I see the rebate offers, but say there is a problem… is Apple known for having a lot of problems from the start? If there is a problem, can it be updated to be fixed, or does offer fix them, etc.

As far as wireless, on my home network, I use a cable modem. My PCs are hooked up, my laptop is wireless. Do I need anything special for this if I would use an apple.

When I travel I specifically check for wireless at the hotel, that is how I do it now.

Don’t like hearing that the case scratches, seems kind of crazy.

Thanks for reponses so far.

Apple Computer Tech Joey asked:


what i mean is, if i just use a normal computer and not apple but, i like the way the apple computer “set up” is, like, the whole clean look and everything for the desktop and everything, do i HAVE to buy an apple computer? or… do i ask the reformatting tech guy to reformat my computer and during the process, insert the macintosh cd or something?? sorry… this sounds very dumb, but yea. i think it’s dumb, but i’m new to this whole computer thing

Apple Computer Tech Myra asked:


laptop but it is over 6 years old now and works poorly. I replaced some of it’s hardware, but it’s just too old to keep up now.
So, now I have an IPhone and I love it, and I am thinking, new computer, Apple or PC? I work in the tech field so I am thinking PC is more for work related stuff for me, but Apple computers are so cute. Any thoughts?
