Anybody miss out on the Upgrade Protection service?

Did anybody miss out on the upgrade protection service when Apple introduced the 3. gen. mbp's?
I managed to purchase my mbp just a few days before the upgrade but was not offered the newer model. I recieved a 2. gen. on the 29th of May and still got to pay the full listing price.
When the upgrade happened, I'd already thrown bits of the original wrapping away. I could've returned the unit otherwise.
Can I do anything to ease my strained Apple relationship? Or should I just bottled it up inside...

Umm.. I still have the packaging for my G4 Cube.
LOL
so? I've got the box for my Gigabit G4. Funny thing - the new dual G4 was announced while my single 400 was in transit from MacMall. I was able to refuse delivery with no restocking fee (love MacMall!) and the gigabit arrived a day or two later.
The "upgrade protection" is actually an OS thing, not hardware. Since the OS in the box takes a bit to catch up when the new OS ships it just guarantees you get the currently shipping OS if you've gotten old hardware inventory. I think at one time they even extended the window to anything purchased 30 days or so before release. But you never know what the policy might be at any given time.

    Dear Colbabomb; thankyou for your links.
    So far, I looked at your first solution, Revo Uninstaller and it gives you a 30 free trial. Ergo, it will eventually cost money so I'm leery of using those kinds of programs in general, meaning most "free trials" have unwanted strings attached and often are big probs to get rid of later. Perhaps you can assure me that it is easy and very user friendly, before I proceed. And I already ran malwarebytes and it found nothing tho the program still can't be uninstalled. I downloaded Adw Cleaner and during the install, my Norton's security popped up and warned that there were (low risk) threats with two of their "other offers" and i hadn't even actually clicked to agree either of them. Nonetheless, Norton warned me against the "lyrics finder" and "deal ply." In fact, there was a box already with an x in it, saying that you are accepting deal ply if you x on "next." Well, except I unchecked that box before clicking on next, yet when it went to fully install, it still showed that it was adding itself; so, just before the install was 100% completed, I had to abort the whole thing. I really do hope your other suggestions are programs that you personally know that they don't try and trick you. But right now, I would not suggest Adw Cleaner to anyone. I even read the fine print about what they will try and install and how to decline and it still tried sticking stuff on that i believed I had declined. Anyways, i have to leave now, shall pick up later this evening, if my pc is still functioning.

  • The Software Protection service entered the running state.

    Description:
    The Software Protection service entered the running state.
    Only big before that is that, I enabled BitLocker ??
    Some idea ?

    Hello,
    Has anything been found out about this?  We're running into the same issue except that it's logging every 30 seconds.
    Here's some info from the machines and when it's occurring:
    It only occurs when someone is connected to the machine through Remote Desktop.
    The machines are Amazon EC2 instances.
    Seems to only happen on machines that are connecting to RODC's. 
    Machines have limited connection to RODC's through security groups (machine based firewalls).
    They are Windows Server 2012 instances, small and medium instance types.  (See instance type details here:  http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/instance-details/)
    Little or no extra software installed.  These were spun up from a basic WS2012 image and it started occurring shortly after.  There are other machines launched from the same image that do not have this issue.
    There are also some other machines connecting to the same RODC's with the same security group (firewall) settings that are not experiencing this issue.
    We are just using the standard Remote Desktop, not the 2012 Remote Desktop Services.  We have tried to install this but the install always fails.  See: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/3ab983ce-9290-49ec-81e6-a3adf34cb8b2/remote-desktop-services-failed-on-windows-2012-server-amazon-vpc-ec2
    The machines (the ones having this issue as well as the ones that do not have it) all have the exact same Windows updates installed.
    Here is the detail of the event:
    NOTE: Every 30 seconds it logs this exact message - entered the RUNNING state.  I do not see other messages stating it entered the Stopped state.

  • Continuous "The Software Protection service has completed licensing status check" messages

    I have one client machine that gets these messages about 5 separate times when launching a Office 2010 application.
    Event ID: 1003 The Software Protection service has completed licensing status check.
    From what I've seen this relates to a KMS server activation. We do not use a KMS server, and have a valid MAK activation code that is used throughout the organization. It is valid and I've even used the Volume Activation Management Tool to reinstall the key
    to the computer and make sure it is activated. I've also done a repair of office and had no luck. Any ideas?

  • My older Ap1 version library did not open in iPhoto and now I can't get out of the "upgrade to v3 syndrome" to get back to my iPhoto library??

    I abandonned Aperture with rev1 and now that iphoto claims to open Aperture libraries  went to see my long lost library on a whim and apple says I must upgrade to version 3 of Aperture to convert the library so iPhot can open it. I don't want to. the lib was a backup on a hard drive from my old mac and I merely wanted to see the pics and then switch back to my current library. iPhoto will not let me get past the "upgrade Aperture or Quit" dialog box. How can I get my iphoto back from Apple control and get Apple out of my pockets? Anybody feeling this one?

    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'

  • Exposing out of the box web services

    I included DCS.WebServices and in web service registry I see the following screen. I see instance running and registered as false. In the documentation it says that when I execute it both security functional name and instance running and registered will be set.
    Execute it in the sense invoke it from external source? Do I have to register the actor specifically for out of the box components too? Attached you will find screenshot of that too. Documentation was not very clear. In the curl command, there are bunch of options to include to invoke a service. THere is cookies.txt file too. Is there is any sample cookies.txt that I can use?

    Please review the answer to the same question you posted in the MOS Communities at: Exposing out of the box webservices

  • The blackberry protect service is temporarily unavailable

    I changed the sim on my phone and ever since I have the blackberry protect highlighted on my phone.  It says I need to log back in in order for my phone to be protected however everytime I attempt to log in the message "The Blackberry ID service is temporarily unavailable".
    This has been going on for weeks now and my phone is not protected! Is there any reason it says unavailable? what can I do?
    I am currently using wifi as my phone does not have roaming

    1) Register HRT: (OS5) Home Screen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > Scroll to any line entry and > press the Menu key > and then click Register Now. If you have an OS 6 or OS 7 device, Look at Options > Device > Advanced > Host Routing Table, etc.
    2) Resend Service Books: Article ID: KB02830 How to send the service books for a BlackBerry Internet Service account. http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02830
    3) Then, with the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you!

  • How to pay new joinees who were missed out in the last pay period run

    Hi,
    There are cases where a new joinee is missed out in a payroll run and needs to be paid the prorated salary for the joined month along with the net pay in the next month.
    Please advise how such cases can be handled.
    We can check for employees who have not been processed in payroll run and pay them starting the join date. There was a case where an employee was moved to the payroll from another payroll, he was paid starting the date of join, and hence got paid more.
    If we restrict the period for checking the new hires to the date after the last pay periods run date till the end of the month, we still miss out on other employees who were not added in time for the payroll run because of late notification.
    Thanks a lot in advance for your help and guidance.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Supriya

    Hi Guys
    I noticed none have you have mentioned aything in relation to the use of quickpays,Payroll runs and extended start dates with Prepayments? This is a common issue, especially within large companies where the turnover of staff is quite high. I have seen this happen a lot on many govenrment projects I have worked with and the solution I reccomend, which is not customised and supported by Oracle is quite straight forward and simple.
    First off when you hire the employee you have obvioulsy missed the boat so to speak in relation to that Payroll Period that they joined, No worries there. Just run a quickpay if you use them as legitamate Payroll runs (Some Organisations do not) or either create an assignment set and run the payroll for that employee only for the period they missed out.
    Next up will be your second pay period payroll run or shall we say the current pay period. As the New Hire employee is now setup on your required Payroll they will obviously be picked up in that run.
    Next all you do is run Pre-payments with an effective Start date of the first day of the previous pay period they missed. Check the SOE attached to the Employee's Pre-payment run for period 2 and hey presto......Your arrears have been calculated.
    Retro will not pick up an late starters thus this solution is the next best thing. Prepayments will pick up any payroll runs which have not already been picked up by a previous Pre-payment run within the date range you specify.
    No More Customisations needed!!
    Regards

  • Contacts are missing information since the upgrade, how do I get the information back?  They were recently added contacts and I am missing info on about 100 of them.  Anyone know how I can get the info back?

    Itunes said I needed to do the upgrade to the new OS.  So I downloaded the new OS and all the contacts that I have added over the last 2 months just have names and no other information.  I tried re-syncing with my computer and that did not work and now that info is missing on my computer.  Is there any way I can get the information back???? 

    No, you can't downgrade iOS. You should be able to restore the address book on your computer from your backup, though. Windows address book probably got wiped on the first sync after the upgrade completed. It sounds like the iPhone may have been disconnected before the entire restore cycle was complete if the contact records in Windows Address book got munged.

  • Missing applications for the SharePoint Web Services site in IIS

    We have SharePoint 2013 server farm and in one of the server missing service applications/virtual directories.
    Under IIS, “SharePoint Web Services" site including an Application Pool and SharePoint Web Services Root is available, but no applications for the SharePoint Service Applications, all applications (security token service, topology ..) virtual directories
    are missing/removed/deleted.
    Can we re-provision only service applications on local SharePoint server, local server only not in any other servers in the server farm?
    Thank You.

    Hi RK,
    Please check if services has been started on this server via CA > System Settings 
    > Manager services on server > change server to the current one.
    Is there other application server in your farm? Please test the issue on other servers.

    Quite seriously, the servers themself are really the least likely
    culprit here. Everything points to a much more wdespread problem
    affecting pretty much everything on the network. That could be the
    network itself, or some machine that has crapped out and overloads the
    net, something like that. NW65SP8 / BM3.9 is extremely stable, including
    all included drivers.

    What's wrong with spending 10 minutes googling for libreoffice
    Nothing, and I have googled more than the average ten minutes (even Yahoo! and Youtube) - but, what's wrong with asking an opinion?
    And hey, maybe I'll learn somethng here too...
    I was somewhat surprised by LibroOffice being "sprung" on me and just wanted to sniff out the mood about it...
    Promise: I'll keep it "kleen" and mark the thread as solved appropriatly.
    And @ Cosmin : thanks, that was the ray-of-hope I looked for...marking this as solved
