There is a code in the box that you activate online with Apple with the serial number of your Mac for your Apple Care Protection Plan. They will send you a confirmation email

There is a code in the box that you register with the serial number of the Mac on the apple website. It's very self explanatory once you get it

As others have already answered, the code on the box is used to register your AppleCare Protection, along with the serial number of your Mac. The serial number can be found by clicking your apple logo on your computer screen far left top corner, opening "About this Mac", and clicking on "More Info...". Hope this helps. It works well for me!

haha go ahead and vent :)If I were you I would just wait. But dont buy the AppleCare for your 80gig. Just use it till it dies and isnt covered by warranty, and get whichever new one comes out. However next time check out macrumors and they have a buying guide, it shows you the past "update" history of the various mac products and gives you a small bit of advice on wether to buy or not. I'm going to stick with my 30gb for now too. Maybe give it to a family memeber later and buy a new one later :)

Go to about this Mac and get the serial number. You can either get the model and serial number and call apple and ask or find it the answer on google. You can usually go up I GB and be fine. Depends on your model. My friend did it for me because I'm still learning. We went on YouTube and watched a video on it. Makes it run faster. You just need to buy the right one. You can open the back of the computer, need a Philips screw driver. The ram will come out, it's held in a button and spring. Just take old one out, put new in. Make sure you save your stuff before you do it just in case you loose your files highly unlikely. If you have more questions give me until Tuesday I will ask my friend.

Order it direct from Apple online (a BTO or build-to-order order), especially if you don't want the Magic Mouse that comes with the standard machines. Otherwise order a Magic Trackpad separately.

I just ordered a sister model (AWUS036NHV) on for my Macbook Air with Yosemite 10.10.2. Downloaded drivers from Alpha site...Works fine... but not until I tried 5 different USB Cables (including the one included with the unit), and it finally kicked in with a short super heavy-duty USB cable from my Garmin. Maybe the USBports on my macbook Air don't provide enough power? But it is working now and doing a nice job.Would like to use a long cable to place the unit closer to the window... gonna check into usinga powered usb hub with a longer cable. Anyone have any experience with using a powered hubwith this unit? I just ordered a sister model (AWUS036NHV) on for my Macbook Air with Yosemite 10.10.2.

Siska - my newest one just broke last week. Less than 6 months old. Losing count of how many this makes that I've shelled out good money for. Brand new each. I'm looking....I may be a fool, but I'm thinking of trying the wireless. Doubt it will be much better - Apple doesn't seem much interested in making decent, reliable keyboards or mouse for their MacBook Pro ---- and considering how much they both cost, why would they want to stop gouging the customers now when there is money to be made? I'll write a review when I get a wireless. I will warn you, however: I once tried a non-Apple wireless system, and it destroyed my macbook pro. I mean....ate it up. I had to send it away for serious repair.

Hello,You will need to go to akai's website and download any updates and yes use your ac adapter to keep continuos power so your battery won't die on the MacBook (-;

No activation needed, I believe it is defective. Return it for a replacement.

I just tried pairing it with my powerbook Mac laptop. I am running I think one of the latest versions of OSX.When trying to pair it, It said it could not identify Keyboard. then it ask me to press the button to the right and left of the shift keys. When I pressed the botton to the left of the shift key(up arrow) nothing happened. So I pressed the (/) key instead and the keyboard was now paired. I thought this meant that it would not be paired correctly but I tried most of the buttons on the keyboard and it works fine. So yes it works with the laptop just not as smoothly as one might hope for. Yet I have not detected any problems. I just tried pairing it with my powerbook Mac laptop.

I had it work with my mac for about 1 hour... and now it doesn't work at all... Honestly I would avoid for mac.. even when it did work my mac claimed it couldn't recognize the device.. I think it just may be broken... not happy at all with the purchase.. hope that helps...

Did you follow the instructions and let it charge for 24 hours before first using it? I have my MBP set to "Better Battery Life" and sleep/turn off display after 15 minutes, in Energy Preferences. After watching 75 minutes of video over WI-FI on battery, and Bluetooth turned on for the mouse, I have about 30% battery life left. I don't think that's quite as good as the Apple battery when it's new, but I can live with it.

You should check with apple, i also got tiger installed, but the leopard os was on the small black box, after their announcement they should be shipping with it and you shouldnt have to pay not even 10 dollars for that
