Anyone have their MacBook replaced or just refund?

I got my MacBook 3 Monthes ago and at the first day, the battery damaged. Then go to service center and get it back in few days.
Then the power adaptor "buzz" and get another week to have another. Just 2 weeks ago, my MacBook start RSD and I still can't get it back today....
Service Center told me that I have to wait at least 2 more weeks!!!
Only 3 months old!!! but half of its time gone to Service Center.... and have to wait longer... I am quite dispointed.
Just want to know if I can request for a replacement instead of WAIT, WAIT & WAIT...
or I can get refund...

Chances are that you won't get a refund, even if you ask for one.
You can ask to talk to a product specialist (or whatever the superior is to the Applecare person) and politely but firmly explain to them your situation and that you would really like a replacement machine. They may or may not go for it. They may say that if you have to send it in one more time, they'll replace it. Or they may just replace it. Either way, it doesn't hurt to ask. Sounds like you may be entitled to the replacement. But that's just my opinion.
Good luck!

Anyone have their MacBook Pro repaired at an Apple Store?

I'm reading about people who're getting one-day turnarounds in sending their MacBook Pros in for logic board replacement; in my case, the Geniuses at the Apple Store told me I'd get faster turnaround if I let them do it instead, in-house. It's been a week. No word yet.
Anyone else have major service done in-house at an Apple Store versus send their laptop in? What kind of turnaround did you have? Should I be concerned, at this point?

Hi Jay,
It could be for the fact that they might have to order some parts which might be on back order. If i needed a repair i would take it into the store as well, the advantage being:
-At least when you pick it up you have the option to see there and then whether there is a damage done, whether the repair is done as requested and be able to refer back to the geniuses if need be.
Just give them a call if you are woried but i am sure that it will work out fine.

I have a macbook and I just upgraded to Lion upgraded my iTunes software also setup a gmail acct in addition to my aol acct...just checked diagnostics and the connection doctor says I'm connected with server for both mail systems, but I'm not getting mail

I have a macbook and I just upgraded to Lion, downloaded the new software for Itunes and added a gmail account in addition to my existing aol account. Altho both mail systems are visible in my mail account I'm no longer receiving emails from either account. I checked the mail doctor and both accounts are connected to the server, but I can't figure out why I'm not receiving emails any longer. I'm trying to clean-up my stuff before I add my new Iphone, but I must admit all of this is rather daunting. Also does anyone know when tech support is available? it must be PST cause no one is there at 8AM EST!

Hello,
It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
Reset the Firewire bus
If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device. A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
1. Shut the machine down.
2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
3. leave it for 10 minutes.
4. Connect back up and reboot.

I have a Macbook, my wife just purchased an Ipad2, Home network

I have a macbook, my wife just got the ipad2 today. She joined our home network. I thought that because these are both apple products I would be able to see the ipad in the finder viewer?
I have a cisco home router, not an apple router. Should I not be able to see the ipad ????

I can't see my iPhone 4 in the Finder viewer when connected to my wifi network. I don't think the iOS devices will show up, as you can't copy stuff from them wirelessly.

Anyone have their iPhone 6 screen replaced yet?

has anyone had to have their Iphone 6 screen replaced yet at an Apple Store? Was it pain free? How fast was it?

I hope yours doesn't break anytime soon. Because I have found out that no one can repair them yet locally at least. unless you send them to Apple.
After leaving dinner 2 nights ago My iPhone 6 dropped out of my pocket as I was getting into my car. It was less than 2 feet and I had a case on my phone and still my screen shattered. I have to say I was really shocked that it even broke. My iPhone 5 was dropped dozens of times on all kinds of hard surfaces and never broke.
I figured that I would get it take care of if I called Verizon the next day, but they told me they couldn't do anything. Then I remembered the local Apple store helped me last year when my suspend button wasn't working on my 5 and those Apple guys made myself, a cautious and doubtful customer walk out very happy with my first experience with Apple. I really didn't expect to have had a resolution when I went, but I did and they exceeded my expectations and I told my friends how great the Apple store and support was.
So I called the store and was put on hold, after waiting a a couple of minutes to talk to someone, I figured I would just create an appointment and take an hour lunch, so I could get there, and see if the local Apple store could fix my iPhone 6. I figured I didn't need to call. Why wouldn't they be able to help me?
So I made it to the local Apple and met with one of the Employees and showed him my iPhone 6 which had tape and a screen protector on it to keep the glass from falling apart. The employee told me that they could replace the screen for $109, that was great news, only the store didn't have the equipment to fix it yet and probably wouldn't for a couple weeks, but If I wanted they would swap mine for a new one for $299. Unfortunately I didn't have the money to shell out for that, I just got the my iPhone 6 the other week. The guy said well if you can live with it just check back in a week or 2 and hopefully they will have the equipment. Needless to say I left there a little disappointed.
I really needed to get my phone fixed. When I got back to the office I called around and found that nobody could repair them yet. The guy at Batteries Plus even said that he hoped that they would be able to repair them soon, because he already had people calling and stopping by wanting to get the iPhone 6 screens repaired.
I figured I wasn't going to give up. I thought that maybe if I get in touch with the someone directly through Apple.com, there might be another solution. I got in touch with them through the chat support and I could send it in for repair. I told them that I only have one phone and I can't send it in and and be with out a phone for 5-7 day while my screen is fixed. I felt like this script went back and forth a little bit and then I was told once again that I could send it in and have it fixed and that I could just use another phone. I had to once again tell her I didn't have another phone and that I just traded my iPhone 5 in to get the iPhone 6 and had I know that I was going to have these kind of problem I would have just kept my iPhone 5. I thanked her for her help and told her that I was getting frustrated.
I was told the she was going to transfer me to her supervisor. I was told by Ali, "The Supervisor" that he was reviewing the chat and he would be right with me. I thought great he will see what has already transpired and hopefully I can get my phone fixed without having to send it in. Nope same script as the girl before. I was also told to try another Apple store an hour away from me and maybe they could replace my screen. I am sorry, but maybe they could replace it? These are Apple stores! How is it that Apple does not know whether one of its store can fix my screen or not. So I am a little more frustrated. I told them I work 11-12 hour a day 6 days a week. At some point I was told something like I could pay $299 then I would get reimbursed after it was fixed and only end up paying $109. Really It was some crap like that. I guess he missed were I said I didn't have $299 otherwise I would have replaced it at the store.
Really though by this time I was done, the frustration was not worth it. I figured my phone is taped up no more shards of glass to fall off or stick to my finders. I will wait until whenever they finally get the equipment that they need at my local Apple store to repair my screen. You guys probably should have had that equipment ready at stores when the iPhone 6 was released.
Good Luck!

HT1270 Anyone have a MacBook Pro freeze with a beeping alarm sound. What caused this.

If it does then the new memory is bad

Anyone have their iPhone 5 pre-order shipping confirmation and working tracking link yet?

For anyone pre-ordering an iPhone 5, please post when you have a UPS/Fedex shipping tracking link that actually works and indicates that your iPhone 5 is in transit and whether or not it is scheduled to be delivered on Friday the 21st to coincide with when the iPhone 5 will be available in stores. And did you pre-order through the Apple store or through one of the carriers, e.g. Verizon or AT&T? And did you pre-order early on Friday the 14th or are you hours or days back in the pre-order queue?

Wahoo! Just finished up my pre-order on Verizon's site. (Apple site still displaying "We'll be back" page as of 3:18 AM EST). Definitely says 9/21 DELIVERY, not SHIPPING ...

Anyone like their Macbook Retina for gaming?

I have the 15". I keep getting worried and regretful about my purchase. I love the laptop, but does anyone think it is good enough for gaming? I do 1920x1200 usually. Is it good enough?

It is reality.
As ds store has stated "Because of this there isn't the selection of games on Mac's as Windows, because eventually gamers realize this and move to Windows instead."
I am one of those that has moved to PC Windows for games. In addition to the Towers there are Gaming Laptops for those who want mobility. While only mildly upgradeable compared to the towers they easily surpass the Macs in specs and at less cost. I did a comparison of the new MacBook Pro Retina and a Clevo P150EM and have pasted it below.
The options available with the Clevo are too numerous to list, so you can check them out at this link.

Anyone have their Touch hooked up to a Panasonic Car Stereo?

I have my Touch scheduled to deliver on Monday and I currently get the most out of my current 5G Video iPod in the car which is hooked up to my Panasonic Car Stereo that is iPod compatible. I have tried to ask Panasonic if their current and past stereo models are compatible with the new Touch's and all I get back in reply is "they haven't been tested yet for the Touch." So is anybody else out there successful in getting their new Touch connected to their Panasonic Car Stereo's via the Panasonic iPod cable?

I can confirm that it does work with the DEH-P7900BT model. I have tested that one with the Touch and the 3G Nano. I would assume other models will work as well.

Does any have their MacBook Pro retina 2012 freezes up then desktop blue screen for 15-20 seconds?

I have been having issues for months now. My MBP 15" is freezing up after I stop typing in any application. I cannot do anything. Then after 20-30 seconds my desktop goes to a blue screen then comes back after 20-30 seconds. Just did it now when I stopped typing. Went to the Genius Bar they reload the software but it's still happening. Currently on Mountain Lion.

If you like you can also restore, via Disk Utility, the DMG onto another disk, but you will be able to read the contents, simply mounting the volume inside any version of OS X.
^ What do you mean by this?
Also, It says on here:Mac OS X v10.5, v10.6: How to back up and restore your files - Apple Support
When the imaging process is complete, select the newly created disk image in the device pane. Then, choose Images > Scan Image for Restore... from the menu bar, and let the scan complete.
Quit Disk Utility (press Command-Q). Then press Command-Q to quit the Mac OS X installer; you will be prompted to restart.
Restoring the backup disk image's contents to your internal Mac OS X disk
What does Images > Scan Image for Restore mean?
Also If I erase hard drive and then reinstall mavericks OS X from "command + r mode" and after that hopefully I can get back in would I hook my external hard drive and then open the copy of the "macintosh".dmg and drag everything back on? or...?

Did anyone have their iPhone 4S lose signal yesterday?

Around 3pm, iPhone 4S suddenly started searching for signal. Tried all options but signal never returned. Took to AT&T who tried to see if SIM issue, it wasn't. Sent me to Apple, where they tried to restore but couldn't fix. Now phone is wiped and can't connect to anything. Went back to AT&T to replace phone when two guys that worked there said yesterday they had a flood of people with exact same issue. Anyone?? I don't want to be charged for something that isn't my issue.

I'm with AT&T but didn't notice the issue.
Where are you located?
