    Need some Advice...... I know you guys/gals can help

    The only issue your going to have is the MacBook Air does not come with a DVD disk drive for DVD's nor does it come with an Ethernet port (if your going to connect an Ethernet cable), or FireWire port, and in addition, it only has two USB ports. You'll have to purchase an external USB drive (if...

    Is a hot MacBook Air anything to worry about?

    A hardware test would need to be run on this system. This sounds like your "heat sink" that probably needs to be replaced or have more of the thermal paste to improve cooling, keeping your chips from over heating!

    Macbook Air vs Macbook

    MacBook Air is great to have (light, fast, thin, etc.,), however, you have to remember that the Air does not have a DVD disk drive, no Ethernet port, only two USB ports, very limited with these basic things that come with a MBP, etc., these MBA are expensive and you will be spending more just to...

    How can I re-install VM Fusion? It seems to have gotten corrupted?

    There should be an "uninstaller" inside the VMWare folder in Applications folder that you can un-install the program? Hopefully you kept the actual application in your "downloads" folder to re-install it?

    My 2012 MacBook Air is getting slow and sluggish

    If your Mac savvy, it more than likely needs to have permissions repaired. Kind of like a PC (Windows system), the hard drive gets "fragmented" and needs to be repaired due to anytime you delete, erase, file, etc., it gets corrupted, again, on a Mac, it's called "permissions", this will fix...

    Always use Apple hardware (battery, etc.,) when having any parts replaced , by the way, apple is the only one that makes those batteries for any Mac laptops.

    Idiots at Iphix ruined my computer, help!

    Then again, Apple does not warrant any spills on your keyboards. As an ACMT as myself, Apple would have known that liquid was spilled due to the fact that there are liquid indicators on the inside casing that change colors that you clearly observe once you remove the logic board.

    Idiots at Iphix ruined my computer, help!

    This company you took it too to have it repaired, obviously should have informed you that they were not Apple Authorized Dealers, if your Mac is still under warranty, theses techs have to have a ACMT certifications, these are only issued by Apple if you pass the tests, however, you knowing it...

    Idiots at Iphix ruined my computer, help!

    Once you spill liquid on your laptop, the logic board needs to be replaced due to circuits fried! If it was still under warranty by Apple, and you took it to an un-authorized Apple dealer, Apple won't warrant it any longer! Obviously these idiots opened the bottom casing, disconnected cables...

    Boot Camp or Virtual Machine?

    Install VMWare instead of running Bootcamp!! Any of these VMWare clients (Fusion, parallels, etc.,) will allow you to run Windows, Red Hat, Linux, etc., side by side on your Mac screen, while on the other hand, running Windows in Bootcamp, you have to boot up your Mac to use either Windows or...
