$250 tops, probably less. iBooks don't have much value in them anymore.
2 :
Type in the model into eBay and press "completed listings". Hey presto - free valuation of anything.

Is there any way to remove password from apple laptop?
Is there any way to remove password from apple laptop?
I bought an apple laptop but the owner forgot to remove the password and i cant get a hold of him. So whenever i open it, it asks me for a user password. Is there any way to remove it or change it or something?

usually with most pc's (not sure about laptops) if you open it up and remove the battery (not the big battery, the one that keeps the time its small like a watch battery, it may be called cmos battery) for 3 minutes then it also removes the password. worth a shot.
2 :
If you got the original System Reinstall CD with the computer or if you can borrow the CD from someone else that has the same computer, you can use Disk Utility to erase and reinstall the system. You would lose any programs that were installed separately such as MS Office.
3 :
I guess we'll have to take your word for it that you bought it without the owner telling you the password and that you didn't steal it. Here's how you reset the password: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080414140636495

apple.com do you know anything about computer hardware or software? If you can post to answers.yahoo.com, then surely you can use google.

Hi, You have selected brand. apple production. it is absolutely good. but few people who are familiar. if you think familiar. just buy it. to know types detail. please visit apple site www.apple.com/macbookpro

Apple is crap for a home user and it's paying a lot of money for something you won't even use half the functionality of. Your best to go into the various stores and get a feel of them for yourself as a first time buyer rather than relying on reviews at the outset.

How the apple laptop different from others?
how the apple laptop different from others?

really the software is the only difference. i would suggest the apple computer instead of a windows based computer they are much more easier to use.
2 :
The major difference is the operating system. Apples run on osx leopard which is a nice stable os and pcs if your buying new will run on vista. Another difference is design, apples are very nice, have smooth lines and look good. Pcs are cheaper, have more parts readily available for them and there are a ton to choose from. Hope this helps

Apple is the most reliable trouble free Computer on the market,
4 :
Apple's OS is more hands off. While you can get into the guts if you really want, its designed so that you don't have to. The applications Apple makes work under similar ways. Its all about ease of use and simplicity. A lot of Windows users hate this fact and thus lash out at the use of Apple products. Its not better or worse, its personal taste, I don't know why people have so much trouble coming to terms with that. Apple is not good for gaming though. Most PC games are designed for Windows and OSX versions are not often developed (not enough people to sell to). You can install Windows on a Mac now though if that's an issue. For music, Internet, reports/essays though the Mac is just fine for you in university. In those regards it can do anything a Windows machine can. Again we're not talking better or worse, I'm just saying a Mac can do what you need it to. But if you haven't been an Apple person before, do realize, you would have to learn a new operating system. Its not a tough one to learn, but none the less you have to decide whether or not that's something you would be interested in doing. Also, you need to consider the support available to you at school for a Mac. Is there on-site Mac service centers, are their people around who are well versed in Macs, or do you have friends/family who are Mac users? Computers, Macs and Windows, have problems. So if you're super hands on you can go any route. But if you usually need some help with computer problems, you should consider what kind of support network you have around you. Finally, you should talk to someone at the school (counsellor or someone who knows curriculum, like a department secretary maybe), about the possibility of being expected to install software at home. If so, you need to make sure that there is a Mac version of it, or you need to be ready to install Windows on your Mac then (if you were not planning on doing so before). Most important of all though, is whether or not you'll be comfortable with the Mac. Not just willing to learn a new OS, but also comfortable with that OS. You shouldn't pay the money for a Mac only to find that you just aren't a fan of the way the OS works. So definitely find a Mac store where you can test drive one for at least 30 mins or so. Try to think of some stuff to actually get to test out on the Mac, not just click a few things and then think "oh its great, I'll buy it." The opinions of Internet users have to be taken with a grain of salt. This is YOUR computer, you need to know whether or not YOU are comfortable with it. Who cares if Internet users like it or hate it, what do you think?
