Anyone have to send their iMac back?

I'm guessing I am going to have to send my iMac back in for repair but I am curious what experiences others have had. I work from home and my iMac is my primary computer. I can't afford to send it back and wait a month to get it back. Would apple be able to do a swap of some sort or let me rent one during the repair time?

I'm on my third iMac and all of them have had to go to AppleCare for repair at some point. I've usually gotten them back within a week, except for the last time, which took almost a month.
I've never heard of a loaner or a rental from Apple. If you use your computer for your work, you should have at least a primary and a backup computer. Buy a MacBook or some other notebook computer that you can use on a temporary basis (or when you're traveling) if your primary work computer is unavailable.
Of course, it's more expensive if you have two, but, if your income depends on it, you shouldn't be working without a backup.

    Thankyou, but the shop said that they spoken to apple and that they have now changed their policy and that they do not give a replacement.  So are you telling me that their information is false.  Also what should they have done.  This problem has existed since i bought it.?????  What should i do?????

  • Anyone have trouble openning their iTunes browser?

    I can no longer get the iTunes browser to open on my computer. No error message. Nothing. It just won't open. I had some trouble this moring. After I restarted my computer, I could get it to open. However, now it will not open again and I don't feel like restarting my computer everytime I want to open iTunes. Anyone have any experience with this?

    I'm having the same issue. I can open iTunes once after starting or restarting my computer. Then, if the computer goes to sleep iTunes will not reopen the window. The dock shows iTunes to be active, but the viewable window will not pop back up. I personally think this is an OS X issue. The same thing is happening when I have multiple programs open (Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign) or Microsoft Office (Word/Excel). The problem has only recently developed so I assume that there is a bug in the last OS X update (which I downloaded this past week). Anybody have any ideas. Perhaps a Mac engineer can answer this one?

  • TS3274 Does anyone have problems delivering their iMessages? Sometimes it takes hours to send.

    Can anyone help me?

    Yes - I just posted a similar question, but I have a 5s with 7.0.3.
    It is randomly operating itself, like someone is pressing random keys on the phone.  It will do it for a little bit and then just stop on its own.  If you touch the screen, it is unresponsive and then will randomly go crazy again.

  • HT204053 Anyone have issues changing their iCloud account on their ipad?

    I read how to change the iCloud account on the iPad but when I go to do it' it only lets me select the password and iPad name. When we got this iPad it was put under my husband's iTunes and iCloud account. Now I have my own iPhone with an iCloud and he has his own iPad and I would like to associate my iPad with my phone's iCloud but keep his iTunes account since that is where we purchase everything.  So can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Community..
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

  • Anyone have issues with their power button on the 928?

    I've had my 928 replaced once already and now the power button has decided it only wants to work occasionally. I love the phone especially the camera and sound and video quality of the recordings it makes. I have developer preview on it so I have the 8.1 update so no gripes there... Also VZW reps since it's still under warranty (I have total equipment coverage as well) can I have it replaced? It has a small scuff on the bottom of the back side and when I say small I mean small enough I could remove it with a polishing wheel on a dremel and make that dissappear completely.... I can't afford to send it off or anything so a replacement mailed to me and sending this one in (again) is my only option as I use it for business.

        Hello d4a1985,
    I'd love to help you figure this out! Normal wear and tear does not void the warranty, but damage such as a crack or a break would. Since we are unable to see the device, if you are unsure, we suggest bringing it in to the Verizon store for an evaluation.
    Thanks,

  • Does anyone have downloads in their itunes sub folder that don't appear in TV programmes or downloads when they open itunes itself?

    My download speed is pretty slow so i often set things to download overnight. Then when i come back to it, it is fnished and says it is processing the file. Then it will say itunes has stopped working and that i need to shut it down. when i re-open, the file is gone in itunes but it is in the Downlads subfolder on my c drive.  This only occurs now that i have updated software - Windows 7 and itunes 10.7.  Does anynr have any idea why this happens? i have probably lost 10GB of download capacity doing repeat downloads!
    Thanks,

    Thanks for the answer.
    I thought I would be covered with having an Apple account and purchasing shows through their store, I just assumed they would allow someone to redownload without them having to pay for the same thing again.
    Cheers,
    Cris

  • Anyone have issues if using imac g4 w/ usb 1.1??

    hey all. okay so my wife got an i phone for xmas. We haven't activated yet waiting to get a sim card with her old # to merge into her new at & t account from sprint. anyways Im concerned that my imac g4 will give me issues because it has usb 1.1 not 2.0 anyone experience anything yet if you have an older mac using usb 1.1. I use my itouch with no problems. please reply ASAP.

    Not really. The computer you are using, a G4, is 3 processor generations old at this point. This puts it about 5 years old (my numbers may be off a bit). You can't expect technology that is 5+ years old to work with new technology - especially when that technology is computers.
    If you want the newest and best accessories you have to accept that you'll need the newest and best computer. Nature of the beast.

  • Anyone have trouble sending a text from contacts?

    I have tried to send a text to a contact. It says to re-enter a valid 10 digit no.
    It will act like it's sending, but will give me that in a reply.I have even tried completelly deleting the contact an re-entering it. However if I enter the number
    Manually from the keypad it will work. It recognizes it's one of my contactsand autumatically enters that contacts name.

    I don't do a lot of text bit it appears to be just one contact. When I manually enter the number the contact persons name pops up. My phone recognized that it is the same as the "contact" but everytime I send direct from the contact list it rejects the text.

    ..... But it does not work that way in the mail app on the iPad. There are third party apps that will let you email to contact groups - but not the built in Mail App.
    Look at Group Email in the App Store.
