Apple support sent only disk 2 for boot disk...  it took only five months

I travel quite a bit and my hard drive crapped out on me. I replaced it and unfortunately my original start up disks are in storage in the USA. I was in Italy, working, at the time.
Called apple (spot) in Italy (I think) and found out about Apples export issues with operating across borders. Basically if you have a USA Computer then you have to get USA Support. (And visa versa if living where-ever. So I contacted Apple support USA (International cell rates)and had them send the disks to my forwarding address, which went to my parents, which they sent to my next destination Poland. Which the guy said he understood my situation and will do it for free... cool! after a month my parents still haven't received anything. I recalled Apple support (International cell rates) and they don't know anything about the last call. They will resend the disks for a fee. (whatever!) So another month... my parents get the package and forward it on to Poland. a month and a half later... (Its was the holidays). I (today) received only disk 2 of the two disk install package.
Does anyone know.... please! if somehow I can boot off this disk?... probably not.

Thanks,
Having the backup software on the IPod is very smart!!!
I just got off the phone w/ apple care. (I get the same feeling calling them as I did when I went to the dentist as a kid!)
They are sending out the Disk 1 of the install. But it has to be the same route, nobody overseas can help and they can't sends software over the boarder. So I'll be getting it in about two months... Great!
Funny thing is that I had to argue w/ the first guy because my apple care expired and he wanted me to pay $40 just to talk to him. Then ended up being disconnected after being transfered to the international department... So I had to call back... (International cell rates apply)
So yea... Backup on Ipod and always carry the disks w/ you when traveling.

  • I Have Update Iphone4 to version 6.1.3 , I have inserted Airtel sim post the upgrade its showing as "NO SERVICE" , Contacted Apple support desk only to find that phone is Locked with AT

    I Have Update iphone 4 to version 6.1.3 , Post the upgrade have tried inserting airtel sim card only to find as NoService .
    Tried calling Apple support desk later came to know that my phone is locked my AT&T. Could some one help me unlocking the Phone and let me the cost in India.
    However, tired submitting the online AT&T form to unlock it , its asking for SSN number which my friend from US got phone which I don't have(SSN).
    Could some one help me .
    Thanks
    Panka Kumar

    ONLY AT&T can authorize unlocking it. If you are trying to fill out the on-line form, make sure you choose non-customer. That, or have your friend submit the unlock request. If you are not a customer, you will have to provide proof of purchase for a no-commitment phone from either Apple, or directly from AT&T, which you obviously do not have.

  • Does Apple TV require a monitor connection for boot up?

    I'm trying to use ATV as an audio server only (no video) controlled via the Apple remote application on my iPhone for connection to a distributed audio system in my house. I have connected the ATV to a Plasma TV via HDMI for configuration and connection to my wireless network and everything has synchronized and is working properly. I then unplug the ATV and move it to a new location for distributed audio purposes only and the ATV is not connecting back to the network. I have no monitor located anywhere near the new connection point so I only have RCA audio capables attached between the ATV and my distributed audio system (Russound CAV 6.6) My question is this: Does ATV require a monitor be connected to complete the boot up process and connect back to the network?

    yes multiple libraries (the file that has location of content) but a single centralized storage location for content... but i thought that's what you wanted in each zone? if not you could just have multiple accounts, enable iTunes sharing to the other accounts and then airTunes from those accounts to the appleTVs (if that works haven't tried it)... could only do audio this way since video iTunes sharing only works from computer to computer.
    me and my wife have separate accounts on our G5 desktop. so we each can have our own playlists, podcast etc but as far as actual content... thats on one location that we can both access and we share that. music for both accounts is in a shared folder on an internal drive and movies are on an external drive that we both have access to as well. we have nothing in our iTunes folders except our podcasts that we subscribe to. this way there is no duplication of content. we also have a mac mini in a bedroom that has nothing on it... everything there (movies, music etc) is access via iTunes sharing from my or my wife's (usually mine... since all the movies are added on my account)... so in this way you do have centralized storage.. and you also have the flexibility of having different content if that's what you'd like. i think people have gotten into trouble when they've tried to use the same library and iTunes folder for multiple account and ended with corrupted library file..

  • Very disapointed with Apple Support, MacBook in repair shop for 2 months.

    I don't know who to call, no one seems to care. I found no email address for Apple Support or for AppleCare owners support queries. My name is Andre Alves Garzia and I live in Brazil, I am a software developer and an ADC member. My development machine is/was a MacBook 13'', it was a very nice laptop until it started powering off with that silly design mistake that was named "random shutdown syndrome", I could no longer trust my machine for it could crash at any time and refuse to power up again. The machine was covered by the standard warranty and I also own a AppleCare extension plan for it. I took my machine to an authorized support shop here in Brazil, the same place I bought the AppleCare, probably the most famous apple shop here. This was on october 10th... Until today they haven't fixed the machine, I call them and they say that Apple Brazil is yet to send the replacement parts (a logic board and a heatsink), all my development stalled. I am a contract worker unable to work because Apple Brazil can't ship replacement parts!!!!
    I am uterlly disapointed. If it was a matter of waiting couple weeks, okay, I could live with that but on the same shop that my machine is sitting doing nothing, there are dozens new machines, but they can't take the parts of a new machine, they must wait for the replacement... screw your loyal customer that buys a new system every year, screw the same developer that made many people switch in Brazil and that was a speaker in about six conferences in the last two years, always telling how good was to be a developer in a apple world... I earn nothing for more than a month because of a simple logic board. Even as I own all kinds of warranty and stuff, no replacement machine was offered, no one seems to care...
    I phoned the Apple hotline here and the very polite girl on the other side said that she needs to verify why my parts are not here and that it will take time... time is all I have now.
    I begin to think that I should publish an article in a really big newspaper here to make people pay attention how disrespectful apple brazil is with their customers... maybe this way someone will fix my machine.
    This might not be the category for this post but I found no category for "apple support rant" and if this category is "Using your macbook" then it fits because I am not using my macbook because apple support does not work.
    disapointed
    Andre Garzia ([email protected])

    I clicked on your notice feeling quite prepared not to believe your story, and ended up feeling very sympathetic! You seem quite reasonable and polite and it must be horrible having to go without your machine for all this time.
    If I were you, I would do one of two things. The less satisfactory would be to ask for the machine back while you wait for parts. I don't know how severe your RSD was, but mine was quite liveable - it happened mostly on awakening from sleep, once or twice in a row, and my computer always responded to a prolonged hold of the power button and, in 1 gH mode, it didn't RSD. Like you, I need my macbook for work, so I asked the repair place to order the parts, let me know when they came in, and then I called for a repair appointment, and they fixed the computer while I waited. I also waited about 4 weeks for parts, but at least I had the use of my computer while I waited.
    The more satisfactory thing would be to patiently and politely keep asking for higher and higher level Apple employees until you find someone willing to help you by a) giving you a definite repair date; or b) giving you a replacement computer.
    I think if you decide in advance that you are not going to get off the phone until you have one or the other, and then you calmly and politely go about explaining your position and asking for a solution, and asking for a higher official if the one you are speaking to can't or won't help you, then you are likely to get your problem solved.
    Please tell us how it works out with you!

  • Wife's iPhone keeps shutting off randomly and does it even when on calls, restarts and has a dark line in center of the screen then the apple logo. At times it does it several times or won't power up, and the iPhone4 is only five months old. What do we do

    Have an iPhone 4 that is now shutting off randomly including during calls. The iPhone is roughly about five months old. When the iPhone shuts down and tries to restart it usually take two or three times before it stays on, but when it does it sometimes has a dark line down the center and shuts off. Not very happy about the iPhone doing this. The store we had purchased the iPhone 4 from suggested that we contact Apple to see about a replacement, or send it away for service. As you can tell we are not happy at this point since the iPhone is crucial part of our day for work and family. What should we do at this point?

    Thanks for the suggestions!
    Except I tried all those before I even made this topic lol, but thanks!
    I Already popped out the Sim Card & let my phone sit without it for a few minutes then put it back in. Sometimes it will work again & it will say it recognizes the SIM Card but more times then not it still says it cant recognize it! So I have to take it out & reinsert it multiple times.
    & I have done a complete restore 2 times & a back up restore 3 times. Nothing seems to be working.
    I am planning on going to the Apple Store this week, wish me luck!
    But keep the suggestions coming if you have any, I'd appreciate it!

  • Does apple support factory unlocking an iphone for tmobile

    I have tmobile as a service carrier. I have heard a lot about unlocking iphones to use with tmobile. Are there disadvantages? Is it llegal?

    No, it's not illegal.
    Only the network to which the phone is locked can authorise the unlock. Apple won't unlock it directly.

  • Why does Apple support not have the manual for iPad and iOS5 available?  The manual on the site has none of the new features.

    Has anyone else noticed that the manual has none of the new features, for example iCloud in it?  The iPhone iOS5 manual is correct.

  • This entire Apple Support Community feedback is not user friendly or meant for us oldies.

    Hi
    Thanks for the 2 replies from different people.  It's taken me 2 hours to try and find a way to respond to my 2 emailers...to NO avail.  I've tried so much that I can't even remember what I've done or where I've been to repeat the action.  Apple Support Community is too complicated for this old man to find/use or answer back on.  I'll be leaving Apple/itunes for good, and if I loose my purchased and/or personal library of 9,000 songs so be it.  Time to go android.  Perhaps it's easier to navigate than this mess.  This isn't user friendly at all, and doesn't answer very much because I can't answer back with parts of my dilemma I just do NOT understand.  I've tried in my 2nd message to the community to be concise and exact on my issue to no real avail.  It's NOT only my desire to go back to version 9...but the icloud debacle, and the genius issue as well.  AAARGH!!!
    But a huge thank you to my responders.  I'm afraid to use that last bit of help because I have questions upon questions.  That sounds like a band-aid rather than a true fix.  And personally I do NOT find version 11 the same as previous versions.  I really don't want it.  I want what I was comfortable and familiar with for the last 5-6 years...not this mess.
    Best wishes everyone and audios and a huge THANK YOU.

    and find a way to respond to my 2 emailers...to NO avail
    You don't respond to emailers because no one is emailing you. (looks like I am one of them).
    Apple Support Community (ASC) is emailing you because you subscribed to your topic post.
    When someone rersponds to your post in ASC, ASC will send you an email informing you there was a response to the topic you posted here.
    You then go to that post and review it and respond if you wish.
    To turn off emails from ASC, see this -> https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3661
    I'll be leaving Apple/itunes for good,
    Really? Just because you got an email?
    This isn't user friendly at all, and doesn't answer very much because I can't answer back with parts of my dilemma I just do NOT understand.
    You seem to be doing fine here -> https://discussions.apple.com/message/24556207#24556207

    How do I change my Apple Support Community email

    Thank you again for your time, But I run an applet with that if it does not have Java how it is possible to run?
    although I will test those links tomorrow, I wish JWS works after that.
    I have one more question:
    I installed Java 7 on OS x 10.7.3 and 10.7.5 at first, then I tried to run my JWS applications (which use JOGL1 ) but they showed only blank white pages then I did the steps of the link:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559?viewlocale=sv_SE
    after that they warned that there is no JRE , I installed Java7 again and they work, But I did not get the reason?why it did not work at first?!?!?
