15" PowerBooks no longer available from Apple online stores
I guess it's finally happening. The powerbooks are being slowly retired. My powerbook is now a classic.
Trust what???
I don't need Apple telling me what I need!!! ****, you sound like you have no idea about the range of user's Apple has been able to attract since OS X.
Apple's decision to discontinue the 15" PowerBook is galactically short-sighted.
It has to be hands-down the most popular form-factor for the business user, and as business users, we absolutely have to live in a Windows world.
Until the MacBook can support Virtual PC, I cannot and will not upgrade. Given Microsoft's past performance, I wouldn't even hope to see VPC upgraded before 2007. You absolutely should be offering the 15", even at a special order price for those of us who will need to replace their laptops before we can switch to the MacBook.
Bad Apple Bad. For smart guys you sure do make some stupid decisions.

How can I get a document from apple online store with IMEI number on it?
Hi
I got my iPhone stolen, and currently have insurance requesting a document with IMEI number on it, I called apple and they say this doesn't exist?
I tried to explain to insurance, but they won't listen. I have sent in packing list, shipping notification, and scan of sticker on box with IMEI and serial number.
2nd email
Thank you for your email. We require a document with the full IMEI number on it. Once this is received we will be able to continue processing the claim.
Kind regards
1st email
thank you for sending us your documents, unfortunately the proof of purchase you have sent in does not show the serial number or the imei number, so i cannot match it to the side of the box label to use the two together for a proof of ownership .To enable us to continue with the processing of your claim, we require a valid proof of purchase for the mobile phone you are claiming for.
This must confirm the make, model and IMEI (International Manufacturers Electronic Identity) number of your phone and can be either a letter from your airtime provider on their letter-headed paper, a copy of the original receipt or despatch note that was provided to you when your phone was purchased. (this is not a air time bill)
Thanks a lot,I bought from Apple online store, and IMEI only appears on sticker on the box which I've peeled off , scanned and emailed. Called apple and they said document doesn't exist with IMEI number on it. I've saw on another post someone managed to get apple to send them receipt with all the info within 3 days so I'll call back tomorrow, just the guy I spoke today didn't think it was possible.
Thanks -
My wifi is not working. It has no indication. I am living in Indonesia but I bought my iphone from apple online store. Can anyone help me how to fix my problem?
The No Service means there is a problem with cellular service. You mention wifi in your title. Which is it you are having trouble with? What happens when you switch on and off as you state in your post? Are you saying that wifi does not connect while at home either?

Hello guys. I'm on the fence of buying a new Haswell MacBook Pro Retina. I'm a student so i plan to get it with the student's discount. I want to ask you guys whether is it possible to use debit card to purchase anything from apple online store? Im using CIMBclicks debit card. Thank you.
Call the online store and ask them! We are just users like yourself. Besides, you will get a much faster answer directly from the horses mouth and it will be correct!

Has anyone received a good iPod from Apple online store?
Has anyone received a good iPod from Apple online store yet? (38th week batch without screen issue)
Also got a week 38, came two days ago. Everything, including the LCD displaying black, seems perfect.
I had been holding my breath for the past week. The LCD problem worried me so much that I tried to cancel my preorder to the Apple store. Becuase I had it engraved, I couldn't cancel.
For me, it all seemed to work out. -
I am planning to buy the New Ipad from Apple online store. Can I purchase the unlocked version because the online store gives me the option of US carriers ONLY?

When i go to the epson website it says the printer driver is available from apple. When i go to the printer selection it sees the printer but says that apple has no drivers for this printer. In the updates section of the app store it shows that the printer driver was update yesterday.
If you're sure you tried all of these steps and the issue persists, contact Apple technical support

Why is the macbook missing from Apple online store ?
Why is the Macbook missing from the Apple Online store ? Can someone let me know what's going on ?
Gone, *poof*.
I miss it and I think Apple should have kept it around as it's low key machine, great for kids and adults who didn't like a lot of flash.
Now the 13" MacBook Pro is considered the equivalent on a similar performance basis, however it has the bright silver rich looking case that draws thieves attention and really isn't a "Pro" machine at all with it's inferior low performing integrated graphics.
Heck most $500-$800 Windows laptops are just the same in performance and has a larger 15" screen.
If you need a anti-glare screen you have to opt for the 15" or 17" MacBook Pro and pay $50 more for the anti-glare, but it's worth it. The 13" doesn't have a anti-glare option, but we are petitioning Apple to include that option.
I think Apple considered the MacBook as a educational computer, thus replaced it for a line of iPads which make considerable more margins and provides less hardware benefits as all the hardware features, stand, keyboard etc. are separate purchases. -
Possible fraudulant phone number from Apple online store.
Just wondering if anyone in the Apple community has had experience with fraudulent phone numbers from the Apple online store. The number in question is 1 800 506 3096 with a person named Michael with ext "1111015" needing to verify an iPhone purchase from placed by my father. Only thing is my father has never owned an Apple product and really doesn't even know how to order things online. My parents checked their credit statements and found no purchases so no identity was compromised.
It was a message left on my parents home phone, the man named Michael left the number and his ext in the message saying he needed to confirm details about a new iPhone purchase placed by my father.
-Update to the situation, my mother called the actual online store number the 1 800 my apple, spoke to a supervisor asking about this number that called them, the supervisor said he would call the number himself, after on hold for a minute or two he came back and said himself that the number was an actual apple online number. I seriously doubt it because I Googled the 1 800 506 3096 number and came across numerous posts saying they got a call from a Michael asking to confirm details about a purchase.

I am extremely surprised that on ordering an iPad2 last Thursday from the online store, and receiving it Friday (excellent delivery service nonetheless) I now find it is not iOS5 (after trying to buy, download and install Numbers). I have not yet upgraded to iOS5 on my iPods and iPhones due to issues experienced by friends so am reluctant to upgrade a brand new iPad after installing apps and content over the weekend.
I am assuming I should have been shipped an iOS5 version?however iOS5 has been available in the UK for ages.
6 weeks is far from "ages".
The iPad you received was eithe Ron the pipeline getting shipped or simply sitting on a shelf when iOS 5 was released to the manufacturing plant before it could have iOS 5 installed.
just wanted to get some help before the Customer Service phone lines open up during business hours!
You are planning on calling about iOS 5 not being installed?
If so, why not simply install it?
There's no benefit to you or the factory doing it. -
Lion is no longer available from the App Store, but I haven't gotten it yet.
I purchased Lion from the App Store on October 27th, but then realized I could not download it yet due to bandwidth restrictions at school (though I did download it once, but the file corrupted and I went over the bandwidth limit, causing my Internet to be shut off). So I'm finally home for Thanksgiving, and went to download again to install it this time. However, the download is no longer available. It doesn't show up as purchased, and when I tried to log in and download it, it wanted to charge me another $30.
Is there any way that I can redownload this again without paying again?
Thanks in advance,
John WalshAlright. I resolved the problem. In case anyone else has this issue, my copy of Lion got moved to 'hidden purchases'. Unhiding it fixed the problem.

Why is the X-Fi Music no longer available from anyone online
Guys in various forums have noticed that it is seemingly impossible to get an X-Fi Xtreem Music card now. What is creative doing? Did they drop the product? Are they trying to get people to buy the more expensi've models?
I've noticed this too. I just bought my X-Fi XtremeMusic less than 30days ago, and I'm thinking about RMA'n it back to TigerDirect; not sure yet though, but I don't have much time to decide.
A few sites still have it, but many don't now. Tigerdirect.com, where I got mine, is one of the ones that took it off.
I just asked tigerdirect.com customer service, they said they had more on order, and didn't want to put any on backorder. that's what they told me anyway.
newegg.com has it listed as 'out of stock'.

Brought an iMac 27" last week, but the iMac was defective, the microphone didn't work, called they to arrange a replacement. After I send back to defective unit next day and a long wait, the replacement unit arrival today, but when I open the box, I immediately feel this is not a new product. All the packing has been open, looks like it is someone returned it and apple try to sell it as new. Call apple, they said they going to call me back , still waiting. What a bad experience !
Call them again and tell them you want a Refund. Send it back then Order another or something else.
EDIT:
Apple has a 14 day No Questions Ask Return Policy for full refund. Take advantage of it and return that system. -
How many days did it take to get MB from Apple Online
so im planning to buy a white mb from apple online store, it says 5-7 days to deliver, but i have read some users to wait up to 14 days to get a MB delivered.
How many days did it take since you placed the order, and got your MB delivered?
thanks!I CTO'd
(configured to Order) online 17 minutes after the
public announcement that Apple was taking orders. I
went into the Apple store to actually look at the
MacBook three hours later when the Apple store
opened. The salesmen (several of them) told me then
it would take about a week before delivery while my
order statement said two weeks.
The machine came Federal Express (I didn't order
special shipping) from China within 5 working days.
It has run perfectly from the day I got it.
Good to hear that you are having no problems, Tim. I CTOd the same configuration (Black/120GB/2GB) last Tues and it will arrive tomorrow or Tues (shipped from China late Thurs and was in L.A .. via Anchorage and Indianapolis .. by Sat morning).
I'll dual-boot it so I can travel without this iBook plus a WinXP machine: One MacBook will be more workable.
