Apple Store Screen Replacement Time?
I dropped off my mid-2010 MacBook Pro todtheto get the screen replaced but I wanted to know how much time it'll take, they have the part, so theoretically it shouldn't take long.
Anyone have any experience with this?
When I dropped mine off to get the screen replaced the first time, my local store had my machine for 9 days. After I picked it up and found it had the wrong screen on it (they replaced my 1920x1200 hi-res with a 1680x1050 screen) I spent a couple hours on the phone and they replaced the screen the second time while I waited. They replaced the screen twice and the logic board once and I was only in the store about 2.5-3 hours, but that was after waiting a little over a week to get the parts in for them to do the repair each time.
So, to answer your question, it depends upon your specific circumstances, and how backlogged your particular store/repair center is. If the store you went to is particularly busy, it may take a while.

Apple Store Screen Replacement?
I recently dropped my iPod Touch 4th gen and the screen "spider-web" cracked on the lower left corner, but it still works fine. Would my local Apple Store be able to replace the screen? I bought the iPod in 3/2011 at Sams Club with no extra warrenty.
Warranties for most any porduct do not cover damage.
You could call your local Apple Store and see what they charge to repair/replace a broken ipod screen. -
First time I brought it to Apple Store they replaced the cable. Second time, was there for 4 hours no joke and still does the issue. Today, same thing. What do I do now!?
Got it replaced last week. Turns out the dock was defective.

if I go to the apple store to replace my ipad (screen craked) how long dos that take?
They should replace the whole device, not just the screen. If they have it in stock, you will walk out with in in minutes. If you are not under warranty there is a charge.

how do i get a recovery disk or download for os 10.5.8? my system was installed by an apple store when replacing my hard drive. i did not get a backup disk. macbook is a 1.1 from mid 2006 and 10.5.8 is as far as i can go.. use this as a utility backup when my new macbook pro with mt lion screws something up---which seems like a daily event. do i have to install a lesser version of leopard then install the update. does software update even work anymore for leopard? im so in the dark and when i look at the console i just freak.
Hello, your best bet would be to clone your drive to an external drive, which will be bootable.
Get carbon copy cloner to make an exact copy of your old HD to the New one...

You're not likely to see any updates show up for 10.5.x
The very first MacBook 1,1s can actually run 10.6, which is updatable to 10.6.8, but will only run in 32 bit mode on yours.

Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

Beware apple store iPhone replacement program
Beware apple store iPhone replacement program:
We took my daughters broken iphone 4 into an apple store and was told that the damage was not covered under warrany but for only £120 we could get a replacement iphone 4
the problem being when they helped her set up the replacement Iphone 4 they installed os7 as the opperating system rendering the phone useless as it now runs slow, freezes & cannot use messaging at all etc
we went back to the store hoping they could HELP & were told that the iphone should not have these problems & to do a full restore; as it turns out the processing chip cant handle os7 which becomes Very apparent & now the store staff are suggesting that they will upgrade the phone to something newer & give us a £60 discout towards a new phone for something we paid them £120 48hr earlier.
Its not the Apple experience we have all come to love can anyone suggest how we might restore the phone to an earlier opperating systemcampbellpark wrote:

Does iphone 6 from UAE apple store have face time ?
Does iphone 6 from UAE apple store have face time ? I bought iphone 5 from UK store it has face time but I bought iphone 5 and 5s from UAE they do not have face time.
The UAE prohibits FaceTime. No, you cannot purchase FaceTime on any Apple gear in UAE.

Recently the sound on my Iphone 4 for texts, and email alerts started working intermittently. I have upgraded to the latest software and the Apple store even replaced the phone but safe issues
For each mail account, along with designating a primary SMTP server, you should be able to just turn off any and all other SMTP servers you have listed. In that case, if there is a problem with comcast, the message send should just fail.
Also make sure your comcast smtp settings are correct (port, likely 587 but might be something else for comcast, whether you should be suing SSL or not, do you need authentication or not).
You might find the comcast forums useful for getting the settings right - I found this:
http://forums.comcast.com/t5/E-Mail-and-Xfinity-Connect-Help/iphone-email/m-p/66 1151?view=by_date_ascending#M131151
The second poster notes, SSL should be on, authentication should be "password" and you should be using port 995 -
Rented movies from apple store disappeared before time
rented movies from apple store disappeared before time is up?
How do i retreave movies i have purchased and not yet watched that disappear.Had you started to watch it? Once you press play you only have 24 or 48 hours (depending on location) to finish. Also, if you watch anything else or turn off the ATV the rental will be flushed and need to be reloaded. Go to the settings, iTunes store, check for rentals in that case.

Why the iPod Touch 4G is getting heated at the top of the back besides camera. Apple stores have replaced 3 pieces but all in vain...
Disappointed after buying Apple Product...because sometimes they are prevented from sharing such information? they don't know? could even require sending it 'out' to a repair center.
though with most electronics, there is only so much that can be swapped out, and even then a new unit and let engineering see what and why.... and maybe there is a defective chip, sensor or even shorting -
My MacBook Air has come up with the Service Battery warning and isn't holding charge as well as it used to. I expect the battery needs replacing.
How do I find out if an applestore can replace it there and then?
I've been told I need to go online to book a genius appointment, and online the nearest apple store is one that can service macbook air laptops. However, when I go online and select book genius appointment for mac at this applestore it says "There are no available appointments at this store".
When I speak to apple on the phone, I am told, it is not possible to tell me on the phone whether apple stores have spare batteries or not for my macbook air.
On Tuesday I may have time to go to this apple store (Liverpool) without a genius appointment, but not to the next city (Manchester Trafford Centre). When I look for appointments at the Trafford Centre, the only available slot in the next 7 days is on Friday which I cannot do as I am not in the country. It is not possible to book further forward.
So, I really don't want to be going on a wild goose chase trying to find somewhere that can provide and fit a new battery.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated as to how I can get a new battery fitted for my macbook air as soon as possible.
As this is not a rant or complaint (my previous post was removed), I also would like to clearly provide the same constructive criticism as included in my previous post. When the problem "Service Battery" is highlighted by the laptop, in this "connected world" we live in, I think excellent customer service would be being able to book a genius appointment from your laptop with 1 or 2 clicks and also to be able to buy and reserve a battery to be fitted there and then.
As my macbook air is critical for my work and I used it 7 days a week, I really need to be able to replace on applecare customer service to fix this. Thanks.call them, tell them you NEED a new battery installed, and they need to tell you when they can do it. That is their job to help you! Give pushback if necessary.
