Appstore updates - do they replace the entire bundle or not?

Looking through the developer program documentation, I was trying to figure out whether or not an update submitted to the appstore will COMPLETELY replace the bundle on the users device, or just the updated binary/files contained within?
I was also wondering if the Documents directory gets erased in this process too? This would be somewhat annoying if it were the case, i.e. a user would probably want to keep his highscores/savestates/profiles/whatever through an update of a given app.

The entire bundle appears to be replaced.
The Documents directory is supposed to be retained between updates, however there are a number of reports of this being erased as well "sometimes". While I believe this last case to happen less on 2.0.2, it happened quite frequently on prior versions.

My computer has been seen at Genius bar 6 times for freezing up, reloaded all original settings and even went to the apple shop where they replaced the battery and logic board. Still freezes after I try to reload iTunes stuff and app stuff from apple

my computer has been seen at Genius bar 6 times for freezing up, reloaded all original settings, all of their diagnostics, and they even sent it to the apple shop where they replaced the battery and logic board. Still freezes after I try to reload iTunes stuff and app stuff from apple, especially iPhoto which is seems to refuse to load and then begins freezing up all over again. Anyone else have this problem. Other than this, I have had absolutely no problems with this computer. Now, it's a file of junk.

Hi Ronald ...
Have you checked lately to see how much free space there is on the disk? Especially since iPhoto freezes at launch ...
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
And make sure the OS X software is up to date.
Click the Apple  top left in your screen.
From the drop down menu click: Software Update
If you have anti virus software installed or are using third party Mac cleaning utiliites, that may be part and parcel of the your problems.

I have an iPhone 4s that is still covered under the AppleCare Protection Plan. I have a pretty significant crack across the screen and wanted to know if I have to pay any additional fees to replace the screen or replace the entire phone.

I have an iPhone 4s that is still covered under the AppleCare Protection Plan. I have a pretty significant crack across the screen and wanted to know if I have to pay any additional fees to replace the screen or replace the entire phone.
I was hesitant to purchase this protection plan at first about $70, but the customer service agent reassured me that there were no deductables and thats why I bought into it. But now that I look around on the support site, I see that it says that there are up to two incidents covered for a service fee of $49. Did I really get duped?

If the issue is a manufacturing defect, there is no cost to have the device replaced.
If the issue is a result of user damage (like a cracked screen) and you have AppleCare+ Apple will replace the device for the minimal fee of $49. They will do this up to two times during the timeframe of the protection plan.
If the issue is the result of user damage and you do not have AppleCare+ then the Out of Warranty replacement cost is $199 for the 4S.
No, you were not duped, you were simply not completely informed. Whether that was a result of them not sharing all the information or you only hearing what you wanted, no one here knows.

My new macbook pro is giving me hardtime. even apple team is not being to solve it. they replace the motherboard first it didn't work. second time they formatted the computer and that also didn't work. every time my mac showing different problems.

At first my computer had issues. Once it go to sleep it will not back again. I dropped my laptop at apple store to fix it. After 10 days they returned my laptop saying they were no able to fix the problem so they replaced motherboard aiming if that might help. Acttually that didn't help.I had same issue again. I visited apple store again. This time they said they could fix, if I will allow them to format the harddrive. I said ok. They formatted it. It was working fine for few daysAfter few days compter is taking.even more than 15 min to shutdown. Now computer has another problem. It is being hang frequently like every 20'to.30 min.
I don't know what to do? I still have one month left on first year warranty. I have requested couple times to apple associates either to fix or replace or refund. They are showing me rude behavior. They are not understanding my situation. I am a student. I need to do lot of home work. Since last three month my mac book and apple associates giving me hard time. Any suggestions are welcome.

Contact Apple Customer Care - not Apple Care - Customer Support. Have your receipts handy and/or case numbers. Be patient, be calm, and tell your story just as you have here. I get the sense you are not in the US and don't have access to an Apple Store but are going to an independent shop. This makes using Customer Support all the more important. If phoning isn't viable, use registered mail.
Since time is running short, be prepared to purchase AppleCare to exennd your warranty 2 more years. Yes, you shouldn't have to do this, but it gives you added protection and more opportunities over the next 2 years to claim a replacement computer if you don't get one immediately. After dealing with a similar unhappy situation with a Mac in the late 1990s I finally got a replacement computer and reimbursed for the AppleCare policy.

Can my Late 2009 24" iMac's video card be replaced without replacing the entire logic board?

Can someone help me determine if my video card is built onto the logic board on my Late 2009 Intel 3.06 mhz 24" iMac? The video shows corruption (checkered blocks) with a progress bar at the bottom of the screen, then it reboots in a cycle.
According to similar problems found on the web, I'm failry sure that the VRAM is corrupt. Apple Tech support had me do a reset on the PRAM and that only changed the direction of the corrupt pixels on my display. I also ran the Apple hardware diagnostic program that came with the iMac 3 times and it found no problems (from what I could tell squinting through my corrupt display). The S/N is W891507C250.
Thank you,
Will W.

I appreciate your reply and you are correct about it being an Early 2009 iMac.
But I'm not sure that you are correct that all Early 2009 iMac's do not have seperate video cards though. You may be, but according to other sources on the net (such as the link below) claim that some Early 2009 24" iMac models with certain video cards (i.e. NVidia, which I have in mine) are replaceable without replacing the entire logic board.
Again your feedback is appreciated, but I was kind of hoping for an Apple employee or at least an Apple Support Forum Admin to give me an official answer.

I had a generic record class that has a HashMap to hold the data fields (...)
method called createRecord() for each record type which would populate the HashMap with the correct data fieldsI'm not sure I understand: are the contents of this field map the same between two records of the same type? Then yes, you don't need to clone the map per record instance.
one thing that needs fixing is the fact that each time the createRecord() method is called I'm creating a new fieldMap to define the dataFields in the record class.Probably, but that will only get you a little bigger files; you won't gain an order of magnitude on the size of files. The problem for huge files is that as soon as their content is bigger than the available memory, you'll run into problems. A more radical approach if you need to address huge files is to process the records on the fly, and not load all records in memory. Of course not all algorithms or business logic can afford that...
I know I could rewrite the code and create a class for each record type and declare the fieldMap static but I was wondering if anyone had any better suggestions The Record instance could receive and keep a reference to its RecordType instance, and ask the RecordType instance the DataType for a field's name. That way the RecordType encapsulates the map, and there's less risk that a clumsy other class modifies the static map.
before I go rewriting a load of code.A load of code?!? Even with the idea of the static map, you only have to edit the enum type (well more accurately, each RecordType enumerated constant's createRecord() method).

My Iphone 5 doesn't sync most of the time. 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!? :(

Can you replace a retina screen without replacing the entire computer?

Hello,
I have the standard issue with a horrible LG screen causing image retention. I've had it for almost a year now and it hasn't bothered me too much but I have Apple Care and am within my rights to return it for a Samsung one.
I have a lot of things setup on my computer (it is for work) so it would be a big problem to have to replace the entire thing. Can you just replace the monitor whilst leaving the hard drive and everything else in tact?
Thank you kindly in advance for your responses
David

Judging from other responses, it appears Apple would be willing to just replace the screen. But except for your original choice of drive size, CPU speed and RAM, everything set up on your computer is what's on your HD (actually SSD). You've already been advised to make a backup, but if the backup you make is a clone and bootable, it can be written back to the internal drive and you'd be back in operation in a short time.
That would be just as true if you swapped if tor the 2013 rMBP, assuming that was offered with the screen you want instead.

Proximity sensor is not working on iPhone 4 and I have Applecare. Will they replace the iPhone or just repair it?

Will they replace the phone or just repair it? I don't want to be without a phone. Anyone have any experience with this?

If it is defective, then they will replace it.
They do not repair at all.

Dear apple, can you please tell me how to put my 'x' key back onto the computer properly without giving me an answer which will make me want to buy a pc like 'we WILL only replace the entire keyboard'?

My profile does say level 1 (0 points) quite obviously pointing out i am a noob at this, although i did try to correct myself in the previous responce to **macbook.
I am confused why you think i havn't answerd michaels question though. 'I assure you the keyboard or the joining parts aren't broken and if it isn't broken i dont feel the need to replace it. '- that was me in the first responce explaining why im not buying a new one, answering the very question he asked.

Is it necessary to replace the entire motherboard if the fan needs to be changed?

I recently sent in my MacBook pro (mid-2009) to a authorized service provider for repairs. I brought it in because of those weird noises coming from inside the MacBook and that it became very hot after running for awhile. The technician ran a simple diagnostic and it seemed to be a problem with the fan, and he advised me it would involve replacing the entire motherboard should there be a need to replace the fan. The question is that really necessary? I have visited a few forums and most indicated only the fan needs to be replaced. Does anyone have any comments on this? I am hoping I have not been taken for a ride.

fak838- Here is an instructional guide on how to replace the fan on a Mid 2009 MBP 13". No mention of a motherboard replacement as a part of the process is mentioned.: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-MacBook-Pro-13-Inch-Unibody-Mid-2009-Fan/ 1338/1. If you mac is a different size,here is the 15" version and for replacement of both the right and left fans, motherboard replacement is not indicated as being necessary in order to replace the fans: http://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook_Pro_15%22_Unibody_Mid_2009

Once I accept a calendar invite on my iPhone, I cannot delete or otherwise modify it. Even when it is updated or deleted by the invitor, it does not change on my iPhone. Is there a fix for this?

Once I accept a calendar invite on my iPhone, I cannot delete or otherwise modify it. Even when it is updated or deleted by the invitor, it does not change on my iPhone.

My husband and I both have iphone 4's and we both have this same problem. I have an open ticket with apple, but so far they haven't been able to figure this out. First, they told me the problem was the mail server I was using. So, I tried sending/receiving invites from gmail and yahoo which they told me should work. Neither did. It doesn't matter whether the original invite was created in iCal or in Outlook or Google, once I open the invite in my mail and hit "add to calendar" the event is locked into my calendar. If the originator sends an update or cancels the meeting, I will receive an email with the new info, but the event doesn't change in my iphone calendar. This is completely lame. Why bother putting a calendar app on the phone if it can't handle basic functions?
Did you ever get a response from anyone or figure out a workaround? I'll post if I hear back from Apple with a fix.

I can't update icloud on replacement phone because ios is not correct version

I can't update icloud on replacement phone because ios is not correct version. Do I activate the phone as NEW?

Do you mean you can't restore your iCloud backup? If so, then set the phone up as new. Update iOS, then erase it and restore from your iCloud backup.
If that is not what you mean, then you need to explain further.
