Is it possible to trade in old/broken mac laptops at the apple store for credit for the mac book pro?

Nope sorry
Apple only offers free recycling of old computers
But all the MacBooks n MacBook pros are cheaper
Since u r a student u can also get a student discount n for a limited time a free iPod
There is vibrant market for Mac laptops on eBay, and you will get a lot of money toward the purchase of your new MacBook Pro if you sell them there.
Apple sadly does not accept trade-ins for computers. They will recycle it for you, but thats a waste of a computer.
If you need the cash I suggest using Ebay or Craislist.
If you do not already have an account on Ebay, it may be difficult because many people are wary of buying from a new seller.
Otherwise, I would suggest trading it in to Amazon or Best Buy. Also for a cheap mac, I suggest using Macmall, where they guarantee the lowest price, even when coupons or special deals are used (not to mention that you get a free printer, case, and software). I hope this helps.
I need a Mac Book Pro by the end of August (a college requirement).
I recently bought an apple mac. I have files on my older pc laptop that I wish to transfer to my new computer, but when my external hard drive is formated for pc to put the files onto it from my old laptop, my mac is unable to read any of the data on it. When I reformat it to mac, the data is erased...
A friend of mine was talking about how people could trade in old/broken iPods for credit for new ones at the apple store, and said it might be possible to do the same with Mac laptops.

Use Disk Utility, NetRestore or Carbon Copy Cloner.
It sounds straightforward, but it's not -- you'll still have to do some grunt work.
You're going to need to partition the new drive manually and restore the images separately using one of the programs above.
