mountaintree16 Posted May 26, 2011 ID:433631 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Wow, what an eye opener. Bad...I pointed out that Apple instructed its support personnel to not assist with the removal of the MacDefender malware. :blink: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nosirrah Posted May 26, 2011 ID:433785 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I have had only one experience with apple so far and it went like this.....I was given 4 iMacs (crt gen) that were going to be recycled and the owner wanted the HDDs removed so they could eliminate issues with their personal data. Even being able to more of less rip these systems apart with no need to be in any way careful it took far more than an hour to get the drives out of all of them. It was VERY clear from their construction that they did not want you fixing/upgrading your own system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sho-dan Posted May 27, 2011 ID:433937 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I hear you! Bruce, I took one apart years and it was such a pita. Apple is doing the same today by making very hard to repair/replace/upgrade hardware on their products due to the proprietary screws (tri-wing screw HDD replacement). On the IPhone 4 they substituted the two Phillips screws with 2/5-Point Pentalobe screws on the bottomBut alas, there are tools to circumvent Aplles insanity (soon to order the 56bit kit) mwahahahaha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShyWriter Posted May 27, 2011 Author ID:433942 Share Posted May 27, 2011 @Bruce:In the old days 1983-'90 I ran an Apple //e based BBS and Apple (other than anything they sold cost 3-5 times as much as a similar PC item) was easy to work with. Then came the Apple IIc and from that point on Apple doesn't want anybody to have the ability to work on *any* Apple product.. soldered in batteries, weird screw heads, etc, et. al.. I decided in 1986 to NEVER buy ANYTHING with the Apple brand on it from that point forward.Correction: I will eat a Red Delicious Apple, but that's the limit of my largess.

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted May 27, 2011 Root Admin ID:434012 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Well I had the displeasure of replacing a power supply on an old MAC G5 once. This information and guides were not easy to find and/or not available when I replaced it.I actually ended up having to make a special tool because at least on the unit I had there was a special hex screw that was buried about 8 inches down that none of my regular tools could reach.Changing the power supply unit on a powermac g5, after it blows up!This guide will detail how to remove the Apple G5's main power supply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted May 27, 2011 Root Admin ID:434045 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Yeah it's not bad, but he is missing a step - at least for the unit I was working on. I don't see it mentioned about that dumb special tool required screw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
