Apple Store Shipping "Old" ATV or "New" ATV

Just hoping someone knows whether the Apple Store Website is shipping the newest version of Apple TV (Take 2) or are they still shipping the older version. I'm hoping that the Apple Store IS shipping a version that you do not have to perform the software update.
Can anybody shed in light on this? The Apple web site is kinda vague. One page says "with free software update" you can rent movies - yet at another location on the web page is says "now" able to rent movies. I certainly know that you can with the update, I'm trying to determine if a new ATV from the Apple Store (web site, that is) will REQUIRE you to update.

I'm the OP on this thread and I said I would report whether or not Apple shipped the Take 2. I ordered on Feb. 14 and received the Take 2.
I LOVE IT. This is the coolest Apple thing I've bought. The way in which it handles photos and music would make it worth it alone. However, I ordered a High Def. download movie (Hairspray) and the quality in video and audio was excellent. I would judge the HD to be somewhere significantly better than DVD but falling slightly short of 1080i I receive from Comcast. But, it is REAL good!
I don't understand the streaming versus copying protocols the device uses and there isn't much control over how it gets content to your TV and stereo, but somehow it does it and it's there, so who cares. I'm using it wirelessly and it hasn't jittered or stalled a single time. The HD movie download was ready to view in roughly 15 seconds!
I could not be happier. This is a very, very, very cool device.

  • Will Apple Store Swap Old Model For New Model?

    I have a question. Suppose you bought a brand new MacBook Pro within the last 2 weeks from an Apple Store, and new models come out, say, this week. If you took your brand new MacBook Pro back to the Apple Store, would they exchange it for free for one of the new models?
    If that is indeed the case, what's the date range? Within the last 2 weeks from the date the new models come out, or perhaps even the last month?

    I believe there is a 2 week grace period. There might be a restocking fee involved. Why not ask at an Apple store?

  • Will apple store transfer my music to new iphone for me

    will  the apple store transfer my music to new iphone for me?

    Do this:
    Create a separate user account for you. Launch iTunes, then Store>Authorize this Computer. Then:
    By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are using a new computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
    1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in itunes(under the edit menu if using Windows).
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Outlook, Windows Address Book) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    You should be good to go.

  • Does Apple Store ship to location outside the usa?

    Does Apple Store ship to location outside the usa?

    The USA Apple store only only ships to the USA. Some other countries have their own online stores which ship to their countries. Go to the store web page and click on the change country link at the bottom to see if your country is one of them.
    Best of luck.

  • I'm not able to pair my iPad with my Logitech mini-Boombox. I was able to do this on my original iPad. I was having a problem on an unrelated matter, and the Apple store replaced it with a new device. Previously, all Bluetooth devices worked fine;

    I'm not able to pair my iPad via Bluetooth with my Logitech mini-Boombox. I recently brought my iPad to the Apple Store for an unrelated problem, and they replaced it with a new device. The old device had no problem pairing with any of my Bluetooth devices. I'm only haveing the problem with my new device. I was able to pair it with my Apple wireless keyboard, but not the mini-Boombox. I think I've done everything that I've read in other forum posts: I've toggled the Bluetooth setting on and off; I've reset the iPad a couple times; I've turned off and on the mini-Boombox; I've recharged the mini-Boombox. What am I missing here, and how can I fix this?

  • Transferring contract at an Apple store when upgrading to a new iPhone 4?

    Hi,
    I've reserved an iPhone 4 for pick-up in store and was wondering what the procedure was to change telecom provider. I'm currently with O2 (but out of contract) but may switch to Vodafone if the tariff is better. During the reservation procedure is said you could choose a contract during pick-up but was wondering if I needed to do anything at my end i.e. grab a PACS number?
    TIA

    I doubt all authorized resellers will get the new phone on release date. Your best bet is an AT&T store or an Apple store(reserve ahead on the 15th). If you want this to go smoothly, pre-order on the 15th for pick-up at your Apple store on release date or have it shipped to you.

    From the iTunes terms and conditions:
    "All sales and rentals of products are final."
    There are no refunds. However, you can contact iTunes support & plead your case:

  • Apple Store Shipping Address

    Back when the Apple Store started, you could set up a variety of different shipping addresses and "name" them. This was very convenient if you wanted to ship gifts or the like. Now, if you designate a shipping address for a gift, it becomes your shipping address for everything you buy, whether it be an iPhone, a Nano or photos. And god forbid you don't realize it at the time you make the purchase! You either have to wait until the item has shipped and try to reroute it, or have the person who receives the item send it to you. What a pain!

    This is a user to user forum. You do have the opportunity before you purchase to change the shipping address. For orders already placed, but not yet "shipped" according to http://www.apple.com/orderstatus/ contact the store and ask them to redirect specific web order numbers. One way around this might be to have multiple e-mail addresses for your accounts that you want to go to different locations. That way you can login the account you know is set to deliver to a specific address, instead of having to change the shipping address each time.

  • Apple store doesn't recognise my new email and password

    I purchased a new iPad mini and cannot download the apps that I purchased/downloaded in the past, also due to lack of space in the original email that I used to set up my apple account I had to change to a new address and password, however when I want to do anything in the apple store it does not recognise the new info, therefore I am unable to do anything ! Please help

    your best chance is to try typing the password again and the email again. it really all depends on if you have an icould account or what your supporter is for your email.
