The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

My brand new iMac keeps dropping wifi connections
At least 2-3 times daily my brand new Imac drops the connection to my home network- I have tried to reboot my airport extreme- my ipad and iphone and nest thermostat do not have these issues of dropped connections. As soon as I click the pale wireless signal at the top of the imac, it finds my home network and joins again, but it is a drag to have to redo this every time I want to stream music around the house or check my mail. Any Ideas? All of my updates are current. Thanks
This has helped some although, unfortunately, not everybody:

Have brand new iphone 4s. Wifi signal is very weak even when very close to router. I have also an iPod Touch and when both are side by side, the iPod wifi signal is excellent and the iPhone wifi signal is very poor??!!! Hardware issue? or software issue? I was hoping it is just a software issue, but...
Saw may web sites discussing this same issue; many discussions point to hardware problems but there is no official word from Apple about it, which is disapointing !?? Few discussions point to software problem with solutions based on try and error, and they don't seem to work.did not help at all; the problem continues the same

IPad 3 keeps dropping wifi signal
Despite having a very strong wifi signal around the house, which my iPad 2 has a strong connection to, my new iPad keeps dropping the wifi signal every minute or two, making using the Internet nearly impossible. To regain connection I just have to go on the wifi settings page (not even turning the wifi on and off) which then gives me the signal again. Ive tried resetting network settings, but nothing works. Please help; this is a real problem and means I can't use my iPad properly.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

JERRY HELP laptop keeps dropping wifi signal, very slow computer
I have read some blogs here where Jerry Lippey? has helped. PLEASE HELP!! My c655d-s5200 satellite laptop constantly drops the wifi connection. just in the registration for this site alone i had to reconnect about 10 times. computer is only about 1 year old. computer has always been very slow, even from day 1. taking sometimes a full minute or two to change pages. I never complained about it when it was under warranty. I just lived with it. and now that it just out of warranty, I have changed from mediacom cable to us cellular wifi, I am finding out that I have more problems than I thought. I have a good 4G singal and I am almost 100% sure it is not a problem with the hotspot. it seems my computer takes way to long thinking. even from day 1 sometimes it will not print a letter that I know I typed. It has most of the same problems as the person on a ship overseas did in another blog. If you havnt figured out yet I am NOT familiar with the computer. or tech terms. I am one of the dumbest ones on here. I tried to search and identify my wifi information by typing (pc diag ) in the search bar and no results came up. As I was going to try and redownload the driver. I still have the windows 7 that was originally loaded. I also have NO dates set to restore to. can someone please help me out. I am very disapointed with this toshiba computer. PS it just took over 40 seconds to back space and delete a full sentence I decided not to say.

IPad 2 keeps dropping wifi signal
Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help with a very frustrating problem.
I have an iPad 2, running iOS 6.1.2 (10B146). My home wifi network is provided by BT Infinity (I'm in the UK), via a BT Home Hub 3. Very frustratingly, my iPad is dropping my internet connection, frequently but seemingly randomly.
The wifi is stable for all other devices (iPhone and laptop), I never experience drop outs with either of those devices.
I've tried re-booting my router, but this hasn't helped. On my iPad I've tried Resetting Network Settings, but the problem persists.
When I lose my internet connection, I don't actually lose my wifi signal, the wifi icon remains in the top left corner, and the correct wifi network is still 'ticked' under my wifi settings. The only way to restore my internet connect is to turn my wifi off and on again, this solves the problem until the next disconnection.
It's driving me mad at the moment. My ipad appears to be fine when connecting to other wifi networks, which led me to think it's a problem with my router. But the fact my other devices are not dropping connection leads me to think it's a problem with the iPad.
In my wifi settings on the iPad I'm using DHCP, no HTTP proxy.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!icecoldcube wrote:
Hmm, the problem continues. Switching to Sky is starting to look more appealing!
How will changing ISP fix a wireless problem? There will still be the same number of interfering channels.
If you think the problem is related to the home hub, then simply add a separate cheap wireless access point, that is what other people do.
You can also use a different router if you wish.

Brand new ipod touch suddenly stopped working. please help!
I was messing around on my brand new ipod touch and it suddenly crashed. it flashed a static-y black and now the screen is bluish white and won't change. I tried holding both the home button and the black button on top of the ipod and neither helped. I even connected it back to my mac book but nothing happened. please help! i've only had it for two days!
That sounds like a mechanical problem. You might want to insert and remove the headphone plug several times and see if it fixed the issue. If it does not, call Apple. 800-275-2273 in the U.S.A. and I think Canada.

Brand New mobo (P6NGM) with IRQ Conflicts, PLEASE help
I've posted multiple times in another well respected PC forum and have not resolved my issue yet. Would GREATLY appreciate assistance.
Here's my story and attempts:
I'm building a new PC for my parents:
mobo: MSI P6NGM
cpu: Pentium dual core e2200 (800fsb)
memory: 2g DDR2
video: Radeon 9600PRO 256MB PCI-E
I'm having problems in Device Manager.
the modem (Smart Link 5k Voice Modem) and something called the NVIDIA nForce System Management Controller both have a yellow-exclamation point on them and when I looked at their properties\device status says:
Quote
This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use (code 12).
If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.
I have all of the current drivers and latest BIOS installed (and confirmed).
I believe it's telling me I have an IRQ conflict and when I looked at the Device Manager \ Resources by Type, it tells me that there are 3 devices on IRQ 7, 2 devices on IRQ10 (my PCI-E video card and the 56k modem), and 2 devices on IRQ11 (the NVIDIA nForce PCI System Management).
I did a google search and tried disabling the com ports 1 & 2 (but could only find & disable com port 1)
but this didn't improve the problem.
I also tried un-plugging 2 front USB-2 ports from the mobo.
no improvement there either.
meanwhile, IRQs 2, 3, 4, 9, 14, and 15 are empty. Is there any way to assign to these?
Please help. I just built a dual core AMD with another MSI mobo for my daughter last month and didn't have any issues with it.yes, i tried switching to the other PCI slot (this mobo only has 2). no improvement
Last night, I also tried disconnecting everything (3 USB ports connected to the mobo) and performing a fresh install of XP. I was extremely disappointed that this didn't work either.
I also tried unistalling all of the devices on IRQ10 and rebooting with IRQ10 Reserved (so all of the devices would be assigned to something else). Then I uninstalled the modem again and enabled IRQ10, hoping that everything would have been assigned elsewhere and only the modem would be assigned to IRQ10 this time.
NO LUCK!
I've NEVER had so much difficulty with IRQs, and only installed 2 devices: the PCI-E video and a PCI modem. -
My mac mini keeps dropping wifi connectivity
Hi Folks,

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
