Apple stores...sorry about being off topic!

Hi Brandan Partrifge;
May I welcome you to the Apple Discussion Forums.
I can't answer your question exactly but I can tell you that my employer has a web page which offers employees of the company discounts at Apple. I was at the Apple Store checking out a MacBook Pro that I was interested in getting with my tax refund. I was talking to the sales clerk and said that I was planning on ordering it via the web page. He asked why so I told him to get my employee discount. He then explained to me that as long as I had picture ID showing my employment with the company, the store would honor the discount. From the way they treated my I would be very much surprised if they would not do the same for you.

    I have been posting to the Logic Pro 7 forum.
    I posted a question that was clearly labelled "Off-Topic"
    It was to do with phones being used in recording studios and I was inviting opinions from other recording studio users in the Logic Pro 7 forum.
    I have had 24 replies.
    I cannot view those replies because:

    This thread has nothing to do with Logic - it is off-topic.
    Lately, I've been tasked with...
    I have clicked the "Posts Removed by Hosts" link to view my replies, and I get:
    Error: you do not have permission to view the requested forum or category.
    I cannot seem to find a contact for this forum, or for the hosts, to ask them to email me the replies or at least give me access to this thread so I can view the replies.
    Can anyone help, please?

    Hi darren,
    As one of the posters of that thread, I would like to report that 1/2 of the replies said that phones do nothing in the studio except annoy those not on the phone, 1/4 compared it to no phones on planes, 1/8 said that cheaper/older phones can cause interference on amped instruments like a guitar, and the last 1/8 was fluff.
    hope that helps. I enjoyed that thread for what it's worth.

  • Does Apple store replace or send off for repair a deffective iphone?

    Purchased on release day and wifi does not work. I anm going to the apple store today for an appointment. I have restored it. Will they replace it or send it of for repair?
    Thanks

    When the iPhone was first released, there was no refurbished inventory available and if there was a problem within the first 14 days or so after an iPhone was purchased, an exchange at the store was pretty much automatic.
    Now that some time has passed - if the store personnel are unable to repair it, your iPhone will be sent off to AppleCare to be inspected and tested for possible repair or replacement with a new or refurbished iPhone at Apple's discretion depending on inventory on hand - along with a loaner iPhone offered and provided by the store if needed/wanted.
    The Store Manager may have some flexibility in this regard but an exchange with a new iPhone off the shelf at a store is not automatic.

  • My daughter changed her access code and forgot, how does she access it?  iTunes does not recognize it from the computer (it is registered in my user name).  HELP? Oh the nearest Apple Store is about 40 miles away.

    My daughter forgot her access code to her itouch.  Itunes can't access it when i plug it in.  it is registered under my id.  how do we reset the passcode without the passcode?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen        
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • Off topic - job market

    Hello
    Sorry for the off topic, after all this is a technical forum...
    I have been working with Apex for quite a while now and I find it a great tool. I enjoy working with it and I consider myself quite good at it.
    However I have concerns about my employability... Its job market seems to be almost non-existent where I live (UK). Even so, Apex seems to be now a mature product, with a growing user base, the Apex forum is one of the Oracle's most popular forums and the IT job market seems to be good here at the moment. Usually all those factors mean a buoyant job market, but it does not seem to be the case with Apex.
    I have other skills, and there are quite a few vacancies asking for them. I will not starve but it seems to me that if I want to change job I will have to stop working with Apex, which would be unfortunate for me (and for the community also ;-)
    Why is it so? Has anyone got the same impression? Is the Apex job market better in mainland Europe? Any insights welcome...
    Thanks
    Edith

    I think there is not a strong demand because it has replaced small development projects , these are usually in house or done by existing IT outsourcing companies
    Even though more large developments are being done , it remains a product geared at Access style development , which also has very little job market

  • Will i get the same care from the Apple Website as i do when buying from the Apple Store?

    I am looking into buying an iPad mini 3 for christmas, i wanted to get the free engraving which only comes when you order from the website.
    I was wondering if i will get the same level of care buying from the website as i did from the Apple Store?
    I purchased a MacBook Pro from the Apple Store in Bath, UK about 3 years ago now, and when my Hard Drive packed up i took it into the Apple Store in Cardiff, UK to get it looked at. They replaced my Hard Drive there and then; free of charge as they were able to trace my purchase back to the Apple Store despite it being out of warranty. Will it be the same if there ever was a problem if i was to buy it off of the Apple Website?

    The warranty is the warranty. Your device will be backed if it's bought from the site or brick and mortar store or even an authorized third party (in other words I bought my iPad at best buy and I can still take it into an apple store and have them back the warranty)

  • Off-Topic Speculation?

    hello everyone, I'm really new to these boards so please don't be too harsh on a newbie lol. I just received an email stating my post had been deleted from the "does anybody know when the i5/i7 imacs will actually ship?" thread. All I did was ask whether anybody thought the delay in setting a specific date might be due to overheating issues and my post was removed as being "off-topic" and "speculative"....isn't the premise of that entire board speculative? I see all kind of comments on there speculating reasons for the lack of a set date but yet I merely ask if it might be due to heat issues and BAM...its gone. I wasn't claiming it was because of overheating I was only asking if maybe it was possible....because I ordered an i5. It said my post was removed by host....does that mean the person who started the thread deleted my post or an Apple employee? I certainly hope its not the latter because like I said, that whole thread is based on speculation so for my post to be removed so quickly by an Apple employee makes me wonder if maybe there is a problem if so I think those of us who have put 2000 or more toward these computers deserve to know...or at the very least, not be censored for asking. Like I said I don't know if thats even the case with post deletion...I'm fairly new here.

    Again thanks everyone and Apple...I love ya but I feel like even though these forums are for your customers you are forcing some of us to discuss the products we bought from you elsewhere on the web if we want to do so freely. I'm sure that is not the intention of these boards : )
    Actually, I think it is Apple's overt intention to limit these forums to user-to-user discussion of technical issues with Apple products, just as the Terms of Use explain. The ToU expressly forbid discussion of unreleased products or of Apple policies here, so if you want to do that, you should do so elsewhere on the web.
    The ToU exist not so much to protect Apple's reputation or its well-known penchant for secrecy about unreleased products as they do to insure that these forums are useful & productive for those who use them. Because we are just users, & because Apple employees are expressly forbidden from posting anything here that could be considered as officially from any Apple source other than Discussions moderators or hosts, any reply to comments about these things would of necessity be conjecture -- IOW, just wild guesses. But because these forums are hosted by Apple, some users will assume otherwise, as if we are somehow Apple insiders, or that comments to Apple (like your mention of "your customers") are actually somehow reaching those officially empowered to speak for Apple about such things.

  • Slightly off topic but a query on open type fonts

    Hi all
    I went to buy the frutiger fonts (9fonts) from adobe. The format is open type which is what I want. B ut when going to buy them I am asked whether I want mac or windows format. I thought open type fonts were cross platform? We have both MACs and PCs, if I want the font on both do I have to buy both formats ?
    Link to font:

    Thanks for any help, sorry for this being off topic but I couldn't see where else to post.

    Yes, that's it, pretty much. Also, our download manager needs to know whether you're using Mac or Windows. The *contents* of the purchased file are the same.

  • Safari & Firefox having problems with the Apple Store

    Hi there,
    I'm having issues using the Apple Store I'd really appreciate some help with. Whenever I go there, whether I'm using Firefox or Safari, I always get a pop-up menu come down, even when I haven't clicked on anything. And it won't go away, so I can't see alot of the stuff on the site, making it unusable. It's best described by a screen shot:
    [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/HeavenOnEarth/Picture21.png[/IMG]
    The box on the right comes up without me clicking on anything, the activity wheel at the top of it never changes into anything (just keeps spinning round) and there is no 'close' or 'cancel' button to make it go away. If you look at the bottom of the pop-up, you can see it doesn't even render properly.
    I called the Apple Store number about this and he said to clear all my private data. I have done that in Safari, as it's not my main browser so doesn't matter to me. In Firefox I have only partially done this; I cleared all cookies, the cache, browsing history, download history, saved form information and authenticated sessions. Neither worked to make the pop-up box go away. I could not face clearing saved passwords or saved sessions (with my Tab Mix Plus add-on) in Firefox, so I'm going to try anything else I can think of to solve this before resorting to that.
    I'm guessing this is some problem in the overall system, rather than in either of the browsers, given that they both do it. Would something like Onyx or Cocktail help?
    Also, both my browsers are quite old; Firefox is 1.5.0.6 and Safari is 2.0.4... I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I'm hoping not. With alot of plug-ins and an already overloaded computer, I'd rather not update to the more processor-intensive new versions. I want a new computer soon, so I'm hoping I can put-off updating til then.
    So if anyone can tell me what to do, I'd be most grateful. I really need to use the Apple Store to look into what Mac to get to upgrade, and right now I just can't shop properly.
    Thanks,
    Charity

    We are all just fellow users here and would have no way of knowing. You'll need to call the Apple Store and ask.
    Regards.

  • Off Topic

    How about an "Off Topic" section in the forums?
    Something like a place for apple users and apple maniacs to hang out and talk about non tech related stuff. I think this could build up a community, and make the forum as well as the users a little more personal
    What do you think? Bad idea?

    I just wonder what comes with Level 5... and what is after Level 5... Level X ? g
    So far, there's NO difference between Level 4 and Level 5 for me! I keep waiting for something special...
    And while there is a "Lounge" forum available to Level 4 and higher users, topics there are still held to the Terms of Use (for example, no topics about rumors or unannounced products). But, there are some posts that are not strictly technical questions in there.
    (I wouldn't hurry too much though, as I heard the place is quite dangerous for your health, if you're not too used to certain strong malt beverages...)
    Hmm... I don't know about "strong malt beverages", but I've filled the water cooler in The Lounge with vodka for all my martinis, so use water out of the tap when it's your turn to make coffee...

  • Audio production education (way off topic)

    Hi all, sorry for the off-topic Q but I'm thinking about "formalizing" my audio production learning. Has anyone had any experience, good or bad, with Berklee's online courses? It's pro tools heavy, but what one learns in one DAW can be ported to another I imagine.
    Thanks much!

    I've taken several online courses with Berklee, and found them to be very good. The only issue you really want to be clear about, is that you have necessary prior knowledge to take the class. The Pre-requisites.
    You must already be computer savy. You may need to have a certain background knowledge too. For instance, I was taking an arranging class, and we had to upload homework every 2 days. They recommended using Finale. It might take me 2 hours to do the assignment, but then it took me another 5 to figure out how to use finale, to get the assignment to look right. I ended up using Logic's scoring, which was fine, but the benefit of using Finale would have been, all the other students could have downloaded my assignment, and played in in Finale, and heard it exactly as I did it..
    Each subject you take might have a different pre-requisite knowledge.. Some classes really don't much of anything.. Some classes use textbooks, or require CD's, others suggest where you can find free materials to assist with. Most classes you need to do some kind of homework, and upload. Some students had trouble with that and dropped out..
    I would say that Berklee online is an excellent experience... It is EXPENSIVE though. The only fault I could point out is the above, prior knowledge that one might need to know to take a course. In my experience, the administration was a little too lax with that, in order to sell you a course.
    I'm not sure about taking a pro-tools course, and hoping it will give you a lot of knowledge about using cu-base or Logic.. Yes a lot of concepts will 'port over' to another area.

  • A bit off topic, but what time should I arrive at the Keynote?

    I'm posting this in the FCP forum because this is the only one I read. I'm attending Macworld for the first time and I have the cheap tickets for the Keynote (user's conference). I have no idea how early I need to show up to wait in line to guarantee I get into the Keynote.
    Thanks and sorry for the off topic post.

    Just showing a pick of what I look like...hee.
    I will have an exhibitors pass, so I wonder if I can get in any later and still get good seats? HA! I will bring my lappy, to keep me occupied (I hope they have wireless access).
    For iChat reports I'd need all your iChat accounts. That would be one BIG group chat.
