Are the new 27" iMacs showing up in the Apple Stores yet?
Impoosible to call a store ask someone if they have any available for purchase. I am just looking for a plain stock unit but I would like to spend the money this year so ordering doesn't look like an option.

There has been no formal announcement of the availablilty of the 27" iMac. As you may know, there have been reports of production difficulties and suggestions of a late December availability. No-one actually knows.
Mine is scheduled to be delivered Monday. It departed Anchorage two days ago. I'm sure there are others getting theirs today and tomorrow, too, as I didn't order mine until late in the day on the 30th.
As to when they are available in a quantity sufficient to stock the stores, I agree with seventy one---anyone who knows for sure isn't talking.

Are the apple stores really open on Easter?
Are the apple stores really open on Easter?
On the store web page it says:
April 04, 2010:
10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Apple is not giving their employees Easter off?What's a day off? People get those?
Some Apple Retail Stores are open, some are closed. For example:

I recommend checking http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/ for Easter hours before heading to a particular store. -
What sort of phone are the Apple Store replacement phones?
When I originally got my iPhone 4 a few years ago, I had a pixel die on two, and I took them to the Apple Store; they replaced them (for free) with phones that were wrapped in the plastic protectors, but in a box wholly different from the actual iPhone 4 box. Maybe it was my imagination, but both my replacement phones seemed... loose or rattle-ey, if you will, though they worked just fine and looked new, nevertheless. Anyway, jumpy to today: I got my iPhone 6 in the mail but it had a scratch on the screen. I took it to the Apple Store and they replaced it, yet again, with a phone in the normal plastic protective sleeve and in a box not like the one the phone comes in. Maybe I'm crazy, but this one rattles too. I can't put my hand on it, but the replacement phone's feel different than the phones that came right out of a factory sealed box.
Does anyone know where the replacement phones come from? Are they refurbished phones? Or are they separately shipped new phones held in-stock just for replacements? I'm curious to know.Oh yeah, I know. When I bought my MacBook it was a refurbished from the site, and it was absolutely perfect---same as my Apple TV... it came flawless... looked new! But every "replacement" phone I've gotten from an Apple Store, rattles and seems... "rebuilt", if you will. I realize a refurbished is rebuilt, but this phone doesn't have the feel or quality of a real new phone. It's not solid. It feels like something someone lazily repaired it at another tech store. I guess I'll go back up there tomorrow...

Are the Apple Stores open to haggling?
I wish there was a more general area in which I could ask this, but I'm planning to buy a new iMac, so this is the best I could find. Please redirect me to a more appropriate discussion area if you can find one though.
I never pay full price for anything if I buy it from a real store, as you can always negotiate between 10% and 20% (sometimes more) off a retail price if you're nice enough to the salesperson. However, I've bought all my Apple Macs through the online store so far, so I've been paying full price for each one.
However, there are one or two companies that just won't enter into this kind of negotiation, often having a policy that prevents their staff from discounting products at their discretion.
I was wondering what the position is with Apple Stores (i.e. the official ones) and whether any of you have ever managed to get a better deal than the retail price? I'm particularly interested in hearing from anyone in the UK who's managed to do this and what kind of deal they got.m0thr4 wrote:

I've always been able to haggle small discounts on hardware prices at
Apple-owned retail stores in the USA. It appears that store managers
are authorized to apply "educational pricing" to any hardware sale --
if you just say "please." These discounts are typically in the 5% to 10%
range, depending on product. US educational pricing can be found at:

Why are the Apple stores sold out now???
All but two are out of phones. Has anyone heard the ETA on new phones?
Well some people who ordered online have just received shipping confirmation that their order is coming from China... So i'd suspect that Apple stores should be getting new shipments soon too.

What time are the apple stores open today?
Anybody?
Here on East Coast, people were lined up last night. While it's a 24 hour store, the launch was supposed to have started at 8:00 as of late last night. This morning, well after 8:00 am, people on line weren't even told that Apple pushed the launch back to 10:00 am.

Call your local store. They still might be opening at 8:00 am.
Zebedeo, I'm surprised after your past posts that you're not already lined up! Get out there and get your ipad!
And enjoy it. -
Transitioning from an older G5 Pro to a new iMac. My Final Cut Express files are on a 2T WD external HD. When I try to load a project to the iMac I get a "General Error 41" and the files do not load. Took the WD the Apple Store and tried it on one of their iMacs...it works fine. The problem seems to be in my new iMac, other WD's with different files load OK. Any ideas?
Hi
Can it be so that You try to boot a G5 (Power) Mac from one external hard disk - then try to boot an INTEL Mac from same external Mac.
WILL NOT WORK - It's not just the Mac OS Extended formation that plays a part here - they have to be formatted differently to be bootable on each system.
I don't think there is any solution to this AT ALL.
When You format a hard disk.
• Select Partitions
• Under the graphic representation to the left there is an Alternative button
Here You select if it's supposed to be Bootable on a Power CPU or INTEL-CPU
No other possibilities.

Will the Apple Store load Microsoft Office on the new iMac we are buying?
We are purchasing a iMac desktop and need to know if we take our PC "tower" to the Apple Store to load all the files on the new computer.
Yes, if you purchase a one-to-one membership:

NOTE: one-to-one membership MUST be purchased at the same time you buy your MAC. -
Has anyone seen the new 2012 iMac in any Apple stores yet?
I was told by an Apple store employee that they would have the new 2012 iMac's in the Apple stores with-in a few days of their launch announcement, back in late October .... here it is late November and the new 2012 iMac's are not yet in the Apple store, for display purposes, here in Rochester, NY.
Last night I was again at the Apple store here in Rochester, and asking about the new iMacs. one of the employees now says they "may be out in December" some time.
I'm very disapponted as a loyal Mac user for over twenty years (and even as an Apple investor). that Apple is announcing the launch of these new products, and then taking months for these products to show up for sale.
I'm starting to think that it won't be until late January that I can actually be able to purchase one of the new 2012 21.5" iMacs ..... i've been waiting years to get a new "antiglare" iMac.
Has any one actually seen one of the new 21.5" 2012 iMacs in one of their local Apple stores, on display yet?UPDATE: Dec. 6, 2012
I was just over at the local Apple store loking at the new 21.5" iMac, and to be honest, I wasn't all that impressed. I have been waiting for over a year to upgrade my Mac, and had high expectations for the new 2012 iMac's .... but seeing and playing with one in the store .... the new one's may not be for me.
Most of all I wanted to believe all the talk about 75% less reflections in the new iMac display, but while in the Apple store, I saw no real difference over the previous model ... and if so, it was more like 25% less reflections. Nothing that dramatic, certainly not like the "anti-glare" screens available in the 2011 MacBook Pro. Basically, my understanding is that the new 2012 iMac's use the SAME DISPLAY as the previous iMac models did. It's the LG "LM215WF3" display, same as those in the 2009-2011 iMac displays. The only difference in the 2012 display, is that they took out the small space between the outer glass and the actual screen surface to get the overall display thinner. It still has the basic "glossy glass" cover screen.
The other disappointment was the extremely poor audio sound from the new iMac's built-in speakers. They just sounded so "tinny", even when playing with multiple iTunes "equalizer" settings. Again, disappointing.
Looks like I'll have to research the possibility of buying a Mini-Mac and an older Apple 20" cinema display off eBay. Or pick up a late model 2011 iMac and get the Rad-Tech "anti-glare" screen film for the display (Ugh!).
Being a graphic designer and art director in profession, I just can't understand why Apple has abandoned the "professional" market for these glossy displays in it's iMac line .... or at least STILL hasn't given us an option for a true "anti-glare" display.
Is it just me, or are my observations on the new 2012 iMac being seen the same by others as well? -
I have an imac and a macbook pro. my creative suite 5.5 design premium is on them both. I'm about to take them in to the apple store because they are running bad and have them completely restored to factory settings. when I get them back will i be able to re-install my adobe creative suite to both of my computers using my same product code from when i first bought it?
Yes. Just make sure to deactivate the license on both systems using Apple menu --> Deactivate while one of the suite programs is running.

My wi-fi on my iPhone 4S is not working after updating to ios7 which was working perfectly fine before. It is a few weeks out of warranty now and the Apple store wants me to pay £160 for a new one, are they joking?!

I got the new iPhone 5 last week and have been happy with it. I went to the apple store on-line a few days later to order some adapters for the power cord, so that I could use it with my alarm clock and dock at work - although they are back ordered until nov. yesterday I lost my lightning power cord and there are NONE available in my city and the apple store is till out of stock for at least a couple of weeks. My phone now has 10% battery and losing last - what can I do to power my phone???? I use it for work, I need to have it working and available butndont seem to have any options. Please let me know if there is another device I can use to power my phone!!
Sorry to tell you but unless you have a Retail Apple Store close by, they are the only ones I have found with all the adapters and accessories. I bought an extra lightning to usb adapter the other day to use in my truck. Good luck....

I have an iMac 8.1, OSX 10.6.8, Boot Camp 3.2 running Windows XP. My original keyboard (MB110LL/A) was damaged by a water spill. I ordered a new one from the Apple Store. They sent me MB110LL/B, function keys need updated drivers (Boot Camp 3.3) which will only install if Windows 7 is installed. I have a large amount of older software that runs under XP but not Windows 7. The Apple support team basically said "too bad". If they replace a keboard model with a new model, they should at least make it backwards compatable or provide a Boot Camp update that will allow this model to work on older iMacs. Reloading Bootcamp 3.3 several times has no effect because it does not detect Windows 7. Any Ideas or help would be appreciated.
It is free. It is beta. It works well - I use it on mine and two PCs as well...
MS Security Essentials will no longer install due to compatibiliity issues - that is the idea of a beta - and the RC could be out in June.
Windows 7 doesn't work great on any Mac, or Apple drivers, fan cvontrol to manage heat, and other issues.
Put 8 in and get to know it, then when the RC comes out you'll be ready -
How much is the G5 worth? The one from 2005.
The Apple Store will offer to recycle it for free, you are better off selling it on ebay or elsewhere, I have seen decent looking ones go from $80-$250 here in Australia.
You are looking at $1000 + to get a new one -
I had to completely reset my phone back to "new" at the Apple Store and the Genius told me that my PhotoStreams would download automatically back to my iPhone after the reset. They have not. Are they lost forever?
Have you logged into iCloud on the phone? If not they won't be there, also just to let you know photo stream doesn't keep your photos forever anyway. It will keep up to 1000 photo's after that it will delete the oldest photo there, it will also delete any photo that is 30 days old.
