Authoring this post to chronicle my recent macbook troubles. Noting up front that I purchased no sort of warranty or apple care support.
It began when I attempted to make an account for my mother so she could use Mafia Wars (her laptop was being super slow) and OS 10 couldn’t load a dock for her user… I didn’t think much of it — Just deleted the user account and moved on. My account functioned fine. But then when I got home half of my F-Keys weren’t doing anything at all. No volume control or iTunes functionality — not too big of a deal. And then I realized that I couldn’t use any system preferences or shut the thing down or even restart from finder… Wtf.
Called up apple support and they let me know that I no longer had phone support and could purchase a one time offense kind of plan for this issue for $50, which I didn’t really want to do, but that I still had 200+ days of hardware support (and it seemed like a hardware issue). So they sent me a box to send it back in.
I took it upon myself to reinstall OS/X and see what happened. And guess what? It all works… and hopefully will continue working. Keeping the box though. Haha.
