How to Dry Out a Mac Book


Turn off the MacBook immediately after it gets wet and remove the power cord and any other cables attached to it.
Soak up any excess water on the computer as soon as possible with the paper towels.
Open the display and set it upside down on top of the paper towels. Roll a few paper towels into a ball and place them directly under the keyboard; this will help draw the water out of the computer.
Turn on the hair dryer and set the temperature to 'High' and the fan speed to 'Low.' Gently blow warm air to the underside of the MacBook to dry any residual liquid.
Leave the computer upside down overnight or for at least 24 hours to eliminate as much liquid as possible from the Macbook. Cross your fingers and turn on the Macbook after it has been left drying and hope you computer comes back to life.

How to Clean a MacBook Trackpad Button


Lightly dampen a piece of cloth with some plain water.
Wipe down your MacBook's trackpad with the cloth. Use broad strokes to ensure that you're catching as much grease and grime as possible.
Continue wiping until no discernable grease can be seen on the trackpad.
Take your paper or similarly thin wedge and work it gently into the perimeter of the MacBook's trackpad. If your MacBook doesn't feature a rubberized plastic bottom, run the wedge between the trackpad's mouse buttons. Newer MacBooks feature the same single trackpad-mouse button that's used on the MacBook Pro line of computers, but older models utilize a dedicated mouse button.
Continue running this wedge around the perimeter of the MacBook's trackpad and in between the mouse buttons, if your model features them. Your goal is to dislodge any crumbs or grime that has collected between the computer and trackpad. Brush aside any removed dirt to finish the cleaning process.

How to Replace the Hard Drive on an Aluminum Macbook Pro


Shut down the MacBook Pro and disconnect all cables and devices. Allow the computer to cool for 10 minutes before moving to the next step.
Remove the 10 screws that secure the bottom case. The short screws must be removed at an angle. To view the angles, review Page 38 of the MacBook Pro manual (see Resources). Tape each screw to a piece of paper that indicates their original position in the computer case. Lift the case off and put it out of the way.
Touch your finger to a metal surface on the computer’s interior to discharge static electricity that may be present in your body.
Remove the two screws that hold down the bracket that holds the hard drive in place. Tape the bracket and the screws to the second sheet of paper.
Pull up on the tab coming from under the hard drive to lift it from the drive bay. Use a gentle, steady motion.
Disconnect the connector from the drive by pulling the connector as you grip the drive on the left side.
Remove the mounting screws from this disk drive if the replacement drive does not include them. Insert the mounting screws on the replacement hard drive.
Push the hard drive connector into the replacement drive on the left side.
Lower the replacement hard drive into the hard drive bay, copying the angle at which you removed the old hard drive.
Place the bracket over the hard drive and use the screws to secure it.
Position the lower case on the computer and replace the screws, using their alignment on the paper to find the correct location.
Press the Power button and allow the MacBook Pro to start up.

How to Download Attachments From Hotmail on iPhone


Open your Hotmail account by touching 'Mail' and selecting your Hotmail account. If you haven't yet added your Hotmail account to your iPhone, go to 'Settings,' then 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars.' Add your account by touching 'Add Account,' then 'Other' and entering your email address and password.
Select the email that has an attachment by looking for an email that has a paper clip icon beside the email subject, and touching it to open.
Swipe your finger upward to scroll to the bottom of the message, where you can see the attachment. Some attachments are located in the email body as a small icon, while other attachments simply show a stock icon for the specified attachment type.
Tap the attachment to open it. As of the time of publication, iPhones can support the following attachment types: .jpg, .doc, .docx, .htm, .html, .pdf, .txt, .xls and .xlsx, which are some of the most commonly used attachment types. Tapping the attachment opens it fully in a new window.
Touch the outgoing message icon at the top of the screen to cause a menu to pop up from the bottom of the screen. The menu gives options for interacting with attachments, such as 'Open In,' 'Save to Phone' or 'Print.' Tap the option you'd like to use.
