Chosen Solution Macbook Air “upgraded” to “High Sierra” OS and somehow lost one of my two email addresses (same account). Attempts to reinstate it via “Internet Accounts” system preferences only results in message “unable to verify account name or password.” All suggestions on “fix” gratefully received! Turns out the answer to my problem is: If rebuilding the mailbox should fail, quit Mail.app and then delete “/Users/yourusername/Library/Mail/Envelope Index.” When you relaunch Mail....

Chosen Solution I have a 13” MacBook Pro Retina early 2015 (1502) I shorted out either the microphone or the left speaker, I’m not sure. Pictures are below. I’m wondering if I clear out the short and remove the associated cables, can I just run it without the left speaker and microphone? Is that possible? Or do I have to replace the logic board? I worry that will be expensive. Thank you!...

Chosen Solution Magic keyboard 2 - key hinge damaged! Any idea if these are fixable on my own or do I need to take it to the apple store. Also, did anyone have experience with the apple store on fixing the magic keyboard 2? Sadly no, time for a new keyboard ;-{

Chosen Solution Why doesn’t the line trap catch all the lint, how do I make that better? Vent Your dryer vent pipe should be made of aluminum. The white vinyl duct that was common several years ago no longer meets most building codes, because if your dryer ignites it, a fire may start in your home. Check the entire length of the vent pipe for lint build-up at least once a year–or more often if the dryer gets a lot of use....

Chosen Solution The hinges on my Mid-2013 Macbook Air 13" were loose so I followed instructions on how to tighten. Disconnected the display cable, webcam cable and the pair of wifi cables. Hinges are fine now but the Wifi only works when it is very close to the Wifi source. The wifi cables don’t seem to be damaged. I removed the wifi cables altogether and I don’t see any networks if I do that obviously....

Chosen Solution Dear, I have a Blu Studio Selfie and I do not want every whatsapp or message to come in with a sound. Though, i can not put message sounds off without putting ths whole phone on silent. Can you help me with this matter? Thanks! Marleen Hi, Not sure if this is in the same location in your phone, but try the following. Open the Messages app, tap Settings, tap Notifications, tap Sound, select None, tap OK

Chosen Solution Hello! I’ve had some issues with my iPhone 8 for quite a while. The microphones doesn’t work in voice memo, not in facetime and not when using speaker when calling. It works fine when doing “normal” calls and when recording with the camera both front and back Any ideas why it doesn’t work as it should? bad ic hip? The iPhone 8 doesn’t have a signature failure with the Audio IC but it is indeed possible....

Chosen Solution My Motorola Whisper stopped working a long time ago an wound up in a drawer. I just got it out and charged it and the speaker works but not the mic. I kept messing with it and it pulled apart. There is a cable that has come unplugged (maybe when I pulled the back off) but I can’t see where to reattach it. Any ideas? No. Sorry. I never did....

Chosen Solution Hey there, A couple months back I dropped my iPhone 7 plus and smashed the screen, once it was smashed the rear camera and the home button stopped working altogether. I ordered a new screen and fitted it, since then the phone has been stuck in a boot loop. I’m assuming this is due to the home button or camera and hopefully not anything else, if I restore the iPhone via iTunes it will work until it gets powered off and then will boot loop again unless I reformat it again, I’ve spent a bit of time researching but can’t really find anything in regards to this sort of issue...

Chosen Solution Has anyone had an issues with the Home Button . I Have been doing repairs for a company fo 10 years plus lately and never had an issues like this. I did two iphone this morning . 1 was a charging port replacement. So I removed the screen and set it aside. Worked on getting the old charge port out and installing the new one. Once I got the new one installed....

Chosen Solution Hi. So I recently did the update that Apple sent out. Big mistake! So the update disabled my audio abilities. I tried regular restarting it. I tried hard restarting it. I tried factory restarting it. None worked! The only way I can talk and answer calls is by using a Bluetooth device. Even though multiple Apple employees told me that the update is the reason, they refused to fix the issue for free....

Chosen Solution My iPod touch is disabled it dosent do anything not even lets me connect to itunes The easiest way to deal with this is to restore it in recovery mode. This will erase your data, but this is the quickest way to get the iPod working again. To erase and restore the iPod, follow this guide. It will explain the process. Does it turn on? Will it charge? Does your PC or Mac recognize it?...

Chosen Solution Hi guys, a little while back I connected my ipod to a car charger and the screen turned black. It smelled like something started burning inside but the smell went away really fast. When I turn it on, all it shows is the black screen with the apple logo. I replaced the battery and it’s still showing the same thing. Any ideas what I should do or what part I should replace?...

Chosen Solution Hi, I bought an apple watch sport 42mm off eBay and now i’m trying to repair it myself. The screen is cracked and the OLED/LCD is also damaged, touch was still working though. My next step would be buying another cheap apple watch and swapping the lcd/glass and force touch gasket. Does anybody know if this is possible or are any of the units somehow digitaly linked to the rest of the apple watch?...

Chosen Solution Hi all, I recently manage to spill what might the record for the smallest amount of water ever to damage a MacBook (I’m talking a small sip of water) onto my MacBook Pro. The laptop would not turn on and the charger displayed a green light. I’m currently studying abroad in Australia and don’t have easy access to another computer to do my school work. With not much left to do other than find someone to fix it, I looked for a repair shop....

Chosen Solution keyboard works ocassionally and very unreliable . i have to use on screen keyboard and a driver update wont help. how do i solve? There might be a problem with the keyboard that is built in, so try and find a keyboard removal guide and a replacement keyboard for it and do it that way. Or, it might be a problem with the keyboard connector.

Chosen Solution When using my laptop its always hot…..what do I do?? As Dan said it would help to know your exact machine but the 3,1 designation was used in the 2007 range. I’d open it up remove the fans, blow them out and the vents are prone to clogging. It’s also about time to replace the thermal paste. After we know your exact machine we can get you to the correct guides to show you how to do this....

Chosen Solution I have the following MacBook and desperately need to upgrade the SSD. Some forums say you can and other say those with the touchbar can not. Confused?? There is a kit listed on iFixit, will this work? Model Name: MacBook Pro Model Identifier: MacBookPro13,3 Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Core i7 Processor Speed: 2.6 GHz Number of Processors: 1 Total Number of Cores: 4 L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB L3 Cache: 6 MB Hyper-Threading Technology: Enabled Memory: 16 GB Boot ROM Version: 428....

Chosen Solution I’ve tested both RAM slots separately with 2 different RAM chips. When either one of them is installed in the left or right RAM slot, the laptop turns on and boots (so both are good pieces of ram, and it also seems both ram slots are good??). If I put one of these known good RAM chips in each slot though, the laptop does not turn on (only the fans do)....

Chosen Solution I just replaced the keyboard on a MacBook Air A1466 and now it will not power on. The MagSafe charger does not light up when connected. I’ve triple checked all the connections and all the ribbon cables and everything is as it should be. Now if I remove the I/O cable the MacBook turns on and the indicator on screen shows that it is charging even though the charger still doesn’t light up....
