I believe if you do the advanced replacement by paying 29.99 they will send you a replacment phone, and they will also include the white box so that upon receiving your replacement, you put your old one in the white box and send the phone. I believe they will charge you 599 on your credit card account for the time being but once they receive your defected iphone/broken within 10 days, the 599 will no longer be held and pretty much you get the 599 back. You don't need to send the cable or anything, just the phone itself.

  • What should I do!? - Sketchy Apple Repair Service

    What should I do about this? Should I contact Apple Support or Verizon and let them know what has happened? Please help!
    I have just been through a horrible repair service request. I sent my iPhone 5S in for service about two weeks ago because there has been dust trapped under the backface camera lense since I got the phone. The dust sometimes causes problems with the photos, and disrupts the autofocus function. I had previously sent my iPhone 4 in through Apple's mail-in repair service two years ago, as the mute-switch did not work out of the box. The service was excellent, the phone was replaced, and I had clear instructions on what to do in order to get my device working again when the new one was received. This time, this was not the case. Not at all.
    I got my comfirmation email from AppleCare for the service request, which listed the "reported issue" as "device will not power on", after I had just reported it as "dust under camera lense". A red flag immediately went up for me; this was not the issue I had just submitted! They also listed my product as "iPhone 5" in the first email, then "iPhone 5S" in a second email saying a box was on its way.
    So I got the box, followed the instuctions to back up the phone, erase all content and settings, and pack it into th box. I soon noticed the issue on the box was listed as "iPhone will not power off". The funny thing is, I had just got a third email saying the issue was "Dust under camera lense". I was so incredibly confused, but I packed the phone up and sent it anyways.
    I got another email when the device was received by the AppleCare screening facility. It said diagnostics would begin. That very same night, I got another email saying "Despite rather extensive testing by our team, we were unable to duplicate the reported issue 'Dust under camera lense'. Please provide us with additional information to duplicate the issue."
    I was a little bit dissapointed, because I thought my initial description to "replicate the reported issue" was pretty clear. So I elaborated. I explained what types of light the dust and small fiber under the bakcface camera could be seen in. AppleCare asked me "what software does this affect?" So I explained how it affected the camera apps. They then told me they would do additional testing.
    After one more day, I received an email stating "We have determined your issue is not covered under warrenty, and it would be less expensive for you to simply purchase a new device, rather than have us repair your current one." There was no way I was paying $700 for a replacement, when in my previous experience the devices I sent apple were replaced or repaired free of charge. If my warrenty states that my iPhone is "free of defects" until the warrenty expires, why is this not considered a defect? Or is it simply that I got some lazy employee, who didn't care to fully evaluate my product and issue? Read on, my experience gets even better!
    So, I opted to just have the device returned to me. I was told in one of the emails I could take it into an Apple Store (which is 4+ hours away from where I live) anyways. So, the device returned to me today. I opened the box to find the battery completely depleted. I proceeded to plug the phone into my computer and charge it. So, the device powers back on. iTunes prompts me "Allow access to this iPhone?" I choose yes, then I am told to "Respond on the iPhone". To my utter dismay yet again, the phone has been passcoded. I could not access the phone at all, and it had not been erased when sent back to me. So, being as intuitive as I am, I type in "1, 2, 3, 4" as the passcode. The phone unlocks. Curious, I opened the photo app. I find picutres taken with both the front and back cameras of various colors and squares printed out onto papers, and a few up-close pictures of a rather scrubby looking asian man's face.
    At this point I am completely fed up with my service. I erased the phone, and proceeded with the setup screen. Upon asking if I would like to restore my backup from iCloud, I am prompted to enter the AppleID password for some strange AppleID that is not mine, and is an @hotmail.com address. I could very well disclose the address here but probably shouldnt. So instead, I restored the backup from iTunes I had made, and put my sim card back into the phone. I have all of my content and settings back now, am am right back where I started; but I am left to ponder on what course of action to take regarding this very scary experience.
    What should I do? Should I contact Apple Support or Verizon and let them know what has happened? Please, your help is important to me!

    First I would have returned the iPhone to Verizon the minute I discovered dust under the camera lens and had them replace it with a new on.
    Second, the instant there was a problem with sending it in I would have used a telephone and called AppleCare and discussed the issue with them.
    Do the pictures that are on the phone show any of the issues you claim are present?
    Incidentally, you can do an out-of-warranty replacement of the iPhone for $269 USD, not $700.
    But finally, I would call AppleCare and ask to be transferred to Customer Service. Give them your service number and go over each of your complaints with them.

  • IPhone $100 credit?!! and Apple Repair Service Scam!!!

    To Steve Jobs, the Apple Board and Customers:
    While I am happy that Apple is concerned about their customers, (and I will debade that in a moment), I cannot believe that you (Steve and Apple) went ahead with this move. Are you going to give me a $10 a share credit for the stock I bought at $140 that is now at $130 because of this pricing move and this credit?!! It's the same thing! Are all the iPhone buyers now boo-hooing because they had to buy the iPhone and didn't feel it was worth $599? You do realize that you now have set a precedent for all future pricing cuts at Apple, as everyone that has purchased a system that gets a price cut will slam Apple with email complaining they paid too much, etc. I want a credit for the money I have lost due to the discounting of my stock for this rediculous iPhone price cut. You guys blew it!!
    Second problem regards a service problem. My 12" powerbook to a drop off the couch a year ago. Still working fine. Decided to get the bottom aluminum case plate replaced, as it is causing too much pressure on the DC inboard recepticle for the power cord. Took it in and got a $600 cost. Ok, way over-priced, but better than new systm! Sent it out. Less than a week later, I got a call from App,e, saying that the service team that inspected my system needed to also replace the DC inboard (fine) and the Hard Drive. The Hard Drive worked fine at the store before sending it off. I qouted the back of the service agreement stating that any damage of the system in Apple's care is Apple's problem, so replace it, but not at my cost. The Apple rep said that this did not qualify, as the "crashed" hard drive was due to the drop. I explained there was not drive problem until Apple shipped it, so get the cost from the shipper insurance. Apple rep said the cost was mine to bear and they would not proceed with the repairs unless I agreed to replacing the DC inboard and HD at an additional cost of $375 (3 times market cost from local Appple authorized repair facility). I continued to question the HD crash. She stated that the repair facility said it crashed, no longer operational. I said I can get these parts for a much better price, send the unit back as is.
    Well, unit came back and is FINE!!!! HD works perfectly!!! Ran a diagnostic (I am a certified Sun Microsystems and HP System and server administrator!!!) on the drive and no sector damage or HW problems from the read/write testing. DC inboard is still functional. Apple sent this to Flextronics International. I say, CHECK YOUR SERVICE PROVIDERS APPLE, AS THEY ARE COMMITTING FRAUD ON THE APPLE CUTOMER BASE AND YOU FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS!!! I am not making this up, I have the documents proving this and my system is working right now as I type this. I hope to hear from someone at Apple to contact me on this issue, as the store and 800-MyApple jst softly skirted the issue with, "I'm sure there is a problem with the hard drive and it was not working at the repair facility. It is just on its last life and just happens to be working now." Are you kidding me?!!! I wonder if the New York Time would be interested in this problem?!!!
    I also noticed the service agreement states that all replaced parts will be replaced with either new, reconditioned or USED parts. GREAT!!! They would take my drive out, put it in someone elses "crashed" drive and take their drive and put it in my computer and get a huge markup for nothing but labor!!!
    I am glad I no longer own Apple shares, and anyone who does, beware of this and other devaluing business decisions or over-sight lacking of Steve Jobs, the Apple board and company!!
    Sincerely,
    Eric

    The messed up thing is that I thought I could use the credit on iTunes over time as I buy music, audiobooks, etc., but noooooo, they won't let you use the credit for either iTunes or for the purchase of an iTunes gift card. Truly an empty promise. I purchased all of the needed iPhone accessories (docks, cases, adaptors) before the credit was announced! Now there is nothing else really relevant to buy from the Apple Store (retail or online) if they aren't going to let you use iTunes. I guess I could return the extra dock I bought and then re-buy it with the credit. Now, where is that receipt and packaging?? The only other things they sell for iPhone that I don't have are the crystal film and another one of those silly little adaptors you have to use for a car cassette device all b/c of the recessed jack on the iPhone. It shouldn't be this way, particularly with Apple.

  • Mail-In MacBook Apple Repair Service?

    My son is in China, and I have his MacBook which is under the AppleCare extended warranty, and I've heard there is a fast "mail-in" service for repairs. (The DVD drive went kaput.)
    Can anyone give me info on this service, if it indeed exists?
    Thank you

    Yes, there are fast; maybe to fast. Mine came back with scratches in it.

  • Official Apple repair services refuse to repair iPhone

    I have bought an iPhone in Barcelona. Now I have a hardware problem - the upper switch on/off button has stopped working (a common problem). As I a domicile in Moscow, Russia, I was explained that I am not entitled to a warranty. This is nonsense. This iPhone is covered by the warranty, so I have to be entitled for a worldwide warranty. If not, I am ready to pay for it. HOWEVER, the official service repairs REFUSE to repair my iPhone, even for money. I am a loyal Apple customer, I have FOUR officially purchased iPads in my family, and one officialy purchased iPhone, so WHY should I be refused in repair of one of many Apple devices? HOW can I repair it.
    Please do not advise me to "go to Barcelona" or "send your phone to Barcelona". I will not do it, I doubt anyone would.
    Please help me.
    Thank you and regards,
    Serge

    Obviously, you have done your research and you have found out that the warranty is not international and as your problem is with the mechanics of the phone itself the only thing you can do is:
    Got to Spain and/or send the phone to Spain. (or another EU country). The reality of the situation is that that is all you can do. Whether you decide to do it is up to you.
    Oh, and next time, buy the Phone in Russia. It will save you tons of headaches.

  • Trouble with Apple Repair Service

    Hi All,
    Anyone know how to get in touch with customer service at Apple? I had to bring my iMac in for service related to the power problem recall (http://www.apple.com/support/imac/repairextensionprogram/). Was told it woulod take 2-3 days. Now a week later I still have not gotten it back and the Apple Store has been zero help. I kinda get the feeling that they haven't even started it yet.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated because I need my mac back for Monday,when graduate school resumes.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    All Apple phone numbers are listed at the bottom of every page under Contact Us.
    Keep in mind that the store might not have the parts to fix your Mac, so that could be the delay. When my iMac went in for the PSU and midplane replacement, it took 3 days.

  • I am suspicious that qualified repair service of Apple with name Lydia in Turkey stole my parts in iPhone

    Hi everyone!
    I bought my iPhone 5 from Covent Garden Apple Store in London. I am still keeping the receipt with me. Due to my problem with sleep wake button, i would like to have repair service and i found out that it is in the change program. For this reason i gave my phone to Lydia Service in Ankara in Turkey. I left my phone in the repair service and later they called me and informed me that my iPhone was opened before and two screws holding my iPhone screen are missing. I didn't give my iPhone before to any repairman and it was opened first time by Lydia Service. They refused to repair it, because due to opening of my iPhone before, took out my phone from the change program. Now there is no warranty. I really ****** of as my iPhone was opened by them first time.
    I am suspicious that one of the guy from this service made some mistake and by lying to me, he try to save himself. Even i am suspicious that he stole some parts from my iPhone. I opened a ticket in Apple support. The Apple support guy told me to give my phone back to Lydia service again. I refused since two screws  are missing and i would not like to lose other parts of my iPhone. I am not thrusting Lydia service in Turkey any more. I provided my phone to another service and they took photos to send to apple. At that time the guy who is taking care of my case went to vacation without providing the contact detail of the person replacing him. Finally i find the replacement employee's contact detail, but he is not responding. My iPhone is still not with me. No one is responding from Apple.
    First, As a customer who can protect me from this kind of people in Lydia Service? Lydia service opened the case of  my iPhone  and they are saying two screws are missing which means for me that they stole them and they took it out from the warranty.
    Secondly, why this customer support for Turkey is not responding although i have an open  ticket in their system. Why they don't have quality of control in their support system? I really ****** off. I don't know how to solve my problem, is there any way to escalate the issue? Any advice is more than welcome.
    Ps: Also there is a possibility of assembling my iPhone without these two screws during the production phase which is unlikely to happen.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have noted herein a number for Apple Customer Relations for you to try.

  • Pay for repair service available at Apple?

    Totally teardown a iphone 4, but start no GSM service or 1 bar of GSM service signal, Apple accept pay for repair service if device teardown and broken by self?

    They probably wont fix it for you because i don't think their trained or equipped for that but they'll probably take in your warranty voided iPhone 4 and give you a replacement unit for about $200.

  • Apple TV Service/Repair

    Hi everyone,
    Well my Apple TV has a problem: it worked fine up till about 2 months ago and now it displays no picture, iTunes doesn't recognise it and all I get is a flashing amber light. Does anyone know if this is a specific problem - I've tried flicking through video outputs and tried HDMI and component connections but nothing. Anyway I'm trying to get it repaired and here's the kind of embarrassing thing - I can't work out how to do it through the Apple site!
    I got my iPod repaired fine but if I go to Service/Repair hardware there is no 'Apple TV' button and if I 'Check my warranty' there doesn't seem to be any way of getting it serviced. I must be being dumb here as I know it's protected by a one year warranty.
    Anyone see where I'm being stupid?
    Thanks, Tom

    About 2 months ago my first ATV died with the flashing amber light. (Hard drive failure.) I took mine to the nearest Apple store where it was replaced on the spot. New one works fine.
    If you are not near an Apple store, why not just call Apple customer service.

  • My iPhone 5 screen smashed and apple did not repair it a phone shop did and now 6 month on my phone has completely broke  can apple repair it if I paid the cost of the bill

    MY iPhone 5 screen smashed ages ago and I got a normal phone shop to repair it and that was 6 month ago my battery and the mother board is broken can apple repair this if I was to pay the bill and not asking them to cover anything

    No. By having an unauthorized service shop open your phone you have forefited ALL service (both in and out of warranty) from Apple. Apple will never again touch that phone. Take it to the same "shop" that repaired it before.

  • HT1923 When attempting a reinstall of iTunes, I cant delete the file C\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Internet Services\Shellstream.resources due to same error message as described above for iPod file; however i can't find it anywhere in the Task Manage

    When attempting a reinstall of iTunes, I cant delete the file C\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Internet Services\Shellstream.resources due to same error message as described above for iPod file; however i can't find it anywhere in the Task Manager

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Complete apple customer service incompetence

    Well, I'm not sure where to post a statement like this but here goes...
    At the beginning of September, I had ordered a new 15 inch macbook pro from apple with the quicker hardrive, which proceeded to arrive within the the next week (good job there). The problem came when the trackpad and keyboard started to sporadically cease responding (while external keyboards and mice would function just fine). Eventually they stopped working all together. This was within the first week of owning the computer. After taking it to the nearest apple authorized dealer/repair shop, the computer was diagnosed with an extremely rare bug/flaw. Apple decided to take the computer back and do an exchange. The problem was, in order to send the computer back, I still had to wait for the special fedex shipping labels from them to arrive. After about a week the labels had not yet arrived, so apple gave me the special numbers without the label to get the computer shipped out any way. After the computer started its trip, Apple, given the tracking numbers was going to expedite the replacement to get things done as quick as possible. Its now October first, a month later, and I still have no Macbook Pro (which was going to be my college computer). Now it turns out someone at Apple customer service screwed up and cancelled sending out the replacement upon also canceling the labels that wouldn't be needed. So now the new computer was supposedly given the order to get sent out today, how long will it take this time? By the way, those labels arrived just last week. So now they obviously have the messed up computer, and my money, but I still don't have anything (except $50 dollars put back on the credit card). When does this start getting called theft?
    I love Apple products, I've been using them my whole life, but this is the worst case of incompetence in the case of customer service that I've ever seen.

    check out my posts about the same issue in the macbook section. I ended up going to a macbook pro. feel free to email me for some serious comments!

  • Defective Batteries and Apple Customer Service

    I just spoke with Apple Customer Service today about the battery in My MBP 2.16CD, which is, according to them, defective. However, since it just recently became unable to hold a charge, and is 1 month out of warranty, they will not replace it. This is despite the fact that it only has 99 cycles on it, and will only hold a 1800mAh charge!
    I am very dissapointed that they would admit that the product is defective, but not offer any recompense. I know its out of warranty (by 1 month, it was a replacement battery) but it seems dodgy that they would refuse any sort of service. Has anyone had similar experiences? Is there any consumer legislation that can be brought to their attention?

    Hi,
    I have the same experience with a dodgy Customer Service. At a service point in my city they told me that they would repair the battery for free, but since i bought it at apple directly i should first asks permission via Customer Service. And after a 30 minute wait on a mobile phone they told me; out of warranty even though 70 loading cycles is not normal for a mac-book-pro battery. I send them a letter, but no response. They like to tell you that since its a battery, you can never claim more than the 1 year warranty; which i think is nonsense, since it is an advanced power device with its own set of chips en led indicators that happens to hold a battery. Anyway; very frustrating indeed to communicate with the boys and girls from Customer Service, and no positive result. It was my first experience with them [and i'm using apple since 1990!] and so far so bad.

  • The other day I dropped my iPod touch and the screen cracked and my warranty is up how do i get it fixed. Do I order an screen and have Apple repair it of do I have to

    The other day I dropped my ipod touch and the screen cracked and my warranty is up how do I get it fixed. Do I buy a screen and bring it to Apple to repair od do I have to repair it. Please help me

    Apple does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
    There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair". Some places also will sell parts and instructions for doing the repair yourself, but the connectors and parts are delicate and it's easy to cause further damage, so attempt this only if you are confident in your skills.
    Regards.
