Apple quietly added an option for MacBook Pro owners, the ability for them to repair there computer keyboards in-store, giving the customer a one-day turn around time.
The option is in response to some customer’s concerns about the company having to send out the machine, leading to a week turnaround time in some cases.
Apple today announced a voluntary recall of AC wall plug adapters designed for use primarily in Hong Kong, Singapore and the United Kingdom. In very rare cases, affected Apple three-prong wall plug adapters may break and create a risk of electrical shock if touched. These wall plug adapters shipped with Mac and certain iOS devices between 2003 and 2010 and were also included in the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit. Apple is aware of six incidents worldwide.
The recall does not affect any Apple USB power adapters.
Because customer safety is a top priority, Apple is asking customers to stop using affected plug adapters. Customers should visit apple.com/support/three-prong-ac-wall-plug-adapter for details about how to exchange them for new adapters.
Affected three-prong wall plug adapters are white, with no letters in the inside slot where it attaches to an Apple power adapter. New adapters are white with gray on the inside portion that attaches to the power adapter.Source: Apple Inc.
Take a visit to Huntington Beach and chances are, you might catch Robert Bainter body surfing,” Meghan McMonigle and Rich Demuro report for KTLA. “‘I do a little boogie boarding too, but mostly body surfing,’ explained Bainter.”
“Usually, you’ll also find an Apple Watch on his wrist,” McMonigle and Demuro report. “‘This thing has been my good luck charm. I would use it quite often to show the surf and how fast you were going. It would even show you where you were on the beach,’ said Bainter.”
“Until ‘a huge wave came and you know I was loving it, rode it and then I pick up my arm and like ‘Oh My God,’ what just happened.’ The watch was gone from his wrist,” McMonigle and Demuro report. “Each visit to the beach was another opportunity to locate his lost watch, but after 6 months, Bainter was giving up hope. Then, he got a call from a number he didn’t recognize. ‘It’s this guy saying, ‘hey if your name is Rob Bainter and you lost an Apple Watch recently. Give me a call and if you can describe this I’ll give this thing to you.” The man who called found Bainter’s watch 3 miles north of where it went lost at sea.”
