^Still no luck. I sent them an email, maybe they'll be able to locate a store near me that has one.

Yeah I replaced my HDD with a SDD, and tried to open that battery compartment and realized I don't have that screwdriver

iFixit sells a kit that has pretty much every screwdriver you'll ever need for working on the last 10 years worth of Macs, you can get the specific ones you need when you need them individually, but if you're committed to Apple, picking up a set is cheaper.
I know that it helps them make thinner laptops, but man I miss being able to just pop out the battery by lifting a latch and replacing it with a new one.

anyone know how to permanently disable iMessages for the mac? you can bypass logging in to iMessages on the mac and get to your messages without putting in a password if you have your phone nearby.

Wait you can see someone's iMessages even if they are logged out?

I'm not even sure what you mean here, if you're talking about media files as long as you have the software to open it, it'll work. Actual programs won't for the most part unless you're running parallels or boot camp, or it's something that has been setup to run using wine skin.
If you're trying to get access to stuff that's on an NTFS formatted disk http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ try this although there's other solutions out there, but they involve getting into the terminal and editing settings by hand.

yes. all you/they would need to do is click on the icon on the far left of your dock (a little pop up icon will appear if you go into messages on your phone). when they click it, if you are signed out it will show an option to log in.Wait you can see someone's iMessages even if they are logged out?
click bypass for now.
they or you now have access to your messages. :
defeating the purpose of logging out. i found a fix but i don't remember exactly what i did. i definitely disabled the email account and went into system preferences and clicked some things. dunno i googled around and found different answers on various websites. anyway it doesn't happen anymore but i think thats wack.
i'm not feeling yosemite so far. niketalk loads slow, everything loads slow. flash doesn't work well...therefore youtube doesn't work at all or very well. i had to delete everything associated with flash and install from a different part of adobe's site.
its like the whole selling point was safari, to me, and sites don't really support it like that.
then the whole fire vault thing...smh.
lastly, just because we can do things doesn't mean we should make these things default. i enjoy privacy on my laptop and its iike apple and these other companies are doing stuff because they can. i get it, these devices talk to each other. cool. make it an option and make them easily be their own device like before. i don't want calls on my computer, i don't want to text message on my computer. thats wtf i have a phone for.

Anyone use CCleaner for Mac? I've used it for years on Windows, just wondering if it's as good for OSX. I've had my MBA for a little over a year now and have never done any sort of cleaning on it.

Yeah I've had 0 issues and I'm running it on an 09 MacBook right now. In fact the new version of Safari has been snappier than I remembered it being.

its slow for me...mines is a 2012 mac. not feeling this at all. safari is mad slow, niketalk takes awhile to load any page and i have to basically double click to get in a thread.
everytime i start up the comp there's a progress bar that takes entirely too long. like wtf is in this update.
really wish it was easier to downgrade.

so messages from my iPhone still pop up when i'm in the app and in a convo. what. the. ****.
i have tried over and over to turn this feature off. it keeps appearing no matter what. why the **** would apple do that? i don't want my convos read by whoever i let use my computer. again, it doesn't matter if you're signed in or not. it pops up and if they click not now on the password screen they bypass signing in and can read convos. the **** outta here.
tell me there's a way to downgrade thats easy.

Have you tried changing the password to your apple account, change it on your phone but not on imessage on your mac? I don't own an iphone but this might help, just thought of it. That's weird that the messages would show up even if you signed out on your mac.
