Hey Guys,
Im in a bit of a pickle and was hoping someone could share their knowledge before I take my Macbook Pro into an Apple store.
For about a week now I haven't been able to use my USB ports or cd-rom they can't be recognised. I have googled and tried all the troubleshooting ideas and nothing works. I checked my disk utility and the S.M.A.R.T status is 'failing' so I'm assuming this will have to be taken in to Apple and repaired? no way around it..?
Since I can't back up my computer as the USB ports don't work i'm guessing I'll have to buy a Airport and back it up with time machine over my wifi?
Can anyone let me know if this is correct or any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance, appreciate it!
