It seems like I just missed the interval for the hard disk replacement program. I purchased in March 2009 a 24 inch Intel iMac . How much does it cost to have apple support at an Apple Store replace a hard drive?

It seems like I just missed the interval for the hard disk replacement program. I purchased in March 2009 a 24 inch Intel iMac . How much does it cost to have apple support at an Apple Store replace a hard drive?

My hard drive continually has the floating beach ball and will take massive time to fulfill a request. And then will not boot up...so then I have to do a restore and rebuild hard drive from a past saved time machine version. Works for a little bit...then the floating beachball comes more and more...until it will not boot up again. So then I restore from a previous time machine saved version....and again it works for a day or so ... until it happens again. Now it's happening faster and faster...so I think my hard drive is dying.

My mac is running slow, the spinning beach ball constantly appears. it seems that when i am in the apple store with fast wifi its a bit better. genius at the apple store checked the hard drive, it's all fine. what can it be?

also i noted that it has only been doing this since quite recently, before it was fine
please help!

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
Step 1
This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|timed? ?o' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
Step 2
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Reset the System Management Controller.
Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
Step 3
When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, and Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
Step 4
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

If I go to the apple store to replace my ipad (screen craked) how long dos that take?

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.

Can a local Apple store replace the hard drive in a current iMac

Can a local Apple store replace the hard drive in a current iMac or do they have to send it out to a service center for repair? I was told that the new iMacs are too difficult to service now that they are glued together and a local Apple store cannot do the repair themselves. Is this true?

i know the SSD is serviceable like all the apple products, and isn't that difficult to replace. definitely reach out to the store and find out. you should be able to call ahead and get some answers from the Genius Bar.

Bad screen. Will Apple Store swap my hard drive into new machine?

I got my Macbook Pro 15" a week ago. Within a couple of days it developed a prominent green vertical line near the center of the screen, top to bottom. I have a meeting with a genius tonight. I assume they'll give my a whole new laptop. Can they swap out my existing hard drive to the new laptop? It's not that I have a ton of user data, it's more that I have installed boot camp and Windows 7 on the other partition and it would be pain to backup both partitions before this meeting.

So I took it to the Apple store tonight and they're going to replace the screen. They didn't have one in stock so they'll order that and it will probably arrive mid-week. Then I'll bring it back in, leave it overnight then come back again the next day. Three visits for a broken screen on a week-old laptop! I'm not too happy about that but at least I get to keep my HD.

Formatting Seagate 1TB external drive - How long does it take?

I'm 20+ minutes into erasing this disc and see no way to monitor any progress.
I've got a blue-stripe barber pole bar spinning along next to a line that reads: newfs_hfs:/dev/rdisk1s1: partition size is not a multiple of 4K.
Anybody know what that means?
Anybody have an idea how long it takes to wipe 1TB?
TA

Formatting should be instant. It sounds like you aren't just formatting, but also writing zeros or something. If you are using Zero Out Data, I just did that to several new 1TB internal and external drives, and I think it took about 2.5 hours each. Using a Mac Pro and eSATA. It might take longer on a laptop, not sure.
The time seemed appropriate because that was similar to how long it took to clone my machine backups onto them. Each full clone took over 2 hours of copying. Either way, it's writing as fast as it can.
If you used 7-Pass or 35-Pass Erase, frankly you're going to wait days.
Remember, we're talking about one freaking terabyte of data to write. Just a few years ago, it was inconceivable that anyone would need to do that at home. It felt like long enough waiting for my old 250GB disks to zero out, and these are 4x that.

HT1918 how long does that take to use the new credit card to purachse

as the topic how long does take？

I'm guessing that it says to contact iTunes Support? That would not be here - this is a user to user technical forum....we can't help you with iTunes purchase issues. Here are a couple of links to get you to iTunes Support:

Apple Store Will Not Take Keyboards Back!

Just to let everyone know, Apple will not accept returns of the BT Kayboards and Mouse - eventhough they know there are issues.
Mike

Apple has agreed to take the keyboard back after I spoke to a senior customer service rep. (Thanks).
No matter what I did, after 4 hours on the phone with Apple, we could not get it to work. Firmware 3.1, new batteries, etc., etc. I think the issue is with the antenna system used on the G5. (Design flaw). Just a guess. I did get it to work for a brief period, when I moved it to within 5 inches of the antenna -- but the mouse was really sluggish and never quite as precise as the cord mouse. In addition, the keyboard would work OK for a few minutes, then I would have the same issue that many others are having of rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, etc.
Thanks.

How long would it take the Apple Store to fix this common problem?

I have the 2010-2011 macbook black screen of death, some days it crashes at least 4 times a day! screen just blacks out and i have to restart. other than that everything works fine
http://oleb.net/blog/2012/05/15-inch-mbp-mid-2010-crashing-to-black-screen/
now here it says apple will fix this for free, so i scheduled a genius appointment for Monday, this guy here says apple just replaced the entire logicboard, how long should it take?
also how can Apple verify that i have the same problem? (I'm pretty sure it is the same problem)
I saved one of the error logs in a text file, maybe that should help.

It will take as long as the service department tells you it will take. We are users like you. We do not have any insight into your particular service center's backlog, staffing level, capabilities, etc. Ask them how long as they are the only ones who will know.

Alternatively: How long does it take if I would have to use the bmw y cable till I can access the 33gb content via the bmw display?

I have 8kb on a vcard. How long should it take to import that vcard into the icloud

I am trying to load my vcard to the icloud website. it says that it is importing but how long should that take? the vcard is 8kb in size

unless you have a huge mail store that is way to long.
Might be a corrupt PST file. The import locks when one of those is encountered.

HT204053 How long does it take for iCloud to upload data for syncing?

I started iCloud over 6 hours ago and yet the progress bar still show 5GB out of 5GB being available. Should I be turning this thing on somwhere or does it automatically upload the info to the cloud so I can access it. If so, how long does that take? Is 6+ hours a normal wait? I really just want to update my bookmarks so I don't need much space but they don't show as being available.
Humph!

Any bookmarks that are synced by iCloud do not use up any of your 5 GB free storage space. What other type of data are you expecting to see there.

Ok here goes. I have so much music I don't want to store it all on my computer and would like to store on an external hard drive. So if all my music is on the external hard drive, how will iTunes see it in order to play the music. Thanks
