    Applecare for iPad...do you buy?

    i have only ever bought AppleCare a few times for different macs, I have never bought it for iPhones, iPads, Apple Watch/tv, I like the idea of it but it’s a large expense to add to the top price of apple gear.

    A family member bought a "new" 32GB iPhone 7 for work on eBay for about a hundred dollars less than what Apple offers. Based on past experiences buying bootleg DVDs on eBay, I was skeptical. The phone arrives and once turned on, it starts bootlooping. It looked a little worn for being new so I...

    screen separates from housing

    Hi, I recently replaced my macbook pro screen. Now the screen is separating from the housing and it is leaking light to the side. At the moment it is manageable. What would you do? Taking out the whole screen and glueing it back on seems very risky. I was thinking to superglue it somehow without...

    Hey guys, I have just acquired a Mac Pro 2008 model which I believe has a Radeon HD 2600 XT inside it. The problem is that it will power on but then shows nothing on the display.
