Broken Charger - Genius Bar Appointment

I had had my mac for about 18 months and I have apple care. The charger has frayed and no longer works, I have a genius bar appoitment tomorrow on my break from work. I have been told to bring both the charger and laptop, however I am wary of doing so as we do not have secure lockers at work. Can I just take the charger? Nikki

That is not a question we can answer here, since we are all Apple users / customers like you. But the request seems to be reasonable.
Your computer is necessary to establish the warranty coverage. And obviously since it is broken, the charger is necessary. Personally I see no way out of taking them both in.

  • How do I make a genius bar appointment?

    Bought new iPhone 6 that should arrive around Dec. 5th.  I don't have the serial number yet (bought from carrier) but wanted to make a genius bar appointment to transfer info from old to new iPhone.  Can I make an appointment without having a serial # yet?  Can I make an appointment on line?  Thanks ...

    Not sure if you can make the appointment now, but the following is the starting point for making an appointment online: Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support
    Regarding the reason for the appointment, the following has instructions on how to transfer data from an old iPhone to a new one via either iCloud or iTunes if you want to consider doing it yourself: Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support

  • My Macbook is not working properly, I went to a Genius Bar appointment, they were not helpful at all and just told me to go off and reboot my Mac and then restore via TimeMachine. I dont know how to do this. I am extremely displeased with Apple, help me?

    My late 2011 Macbook Pro is not working properly it is very slow and extremely painful to use, I went to a Genius Bar appointment, they were not helpful at all and just told me to go off and reboot my Mac and then restore via TimeMachine. I dont know how to do this. I am extremely displeased with Apple at the moment, can someone please help me?

    Your problem description is generalized and non-specific. I would make another appointment at the Apple store and insist they help you execute their suggested fixes.
    Incidentally, if you search this site, Apple has excellent articles re: restoring a system.

  • I did not make a Genius Bar appointment

    I received an email about an hour ago that told me I had made a Genius Bar appointment at the South Shore location for Monday. I looked at the links in the email and the headers and nothing jumps out at me as fishy. I am not sure if my ITMS account has been compromised. My ITMS account is a different email than the one I use to post here at Apple Support.
    For the time being, I've changed my password and removed my payment info via iTunes, but I wanted to know if this was a known spam/phishing attempt or if it sounds like my account has been compromised.

    I too have gotten emails supposedly from Apple confirming appointments at various Apple stores. I got the first on October 18 for "Personal Projects" at the South Coast Plaza store and the second on October 26 for "Sharing Your Movies with Others" at the Fashion Island store. Both contained my real name in a salutation within the body of the email. After the first bogus appointment I changed my Apple ID password and waited. Today I got the second appointment confirmation. Something fishy is definitely going on. These stores are in California and I live in Florida. Plus I have not made any appointments at any Apple store for many months. Both emails are from [email protected]

  • Why can't you book a Genius Bar appointment online anymore?

    They have removed the option to make a Genius Bar appointment.  Why on earth would they do that?

    The method has changed - see my post here if you only have a Mac; if you have an iDevice, follow Frank's instructions in the same thread:

  • I just want to make a genius bar appointment!

    I hate this new interface! I just want to make a genius bar appointment and they have made it so dang difficult if not nearly impossible. I don't want to wait on the phone for an hour to talk to someone and I don't want to talk to someone on the phone! I just want to make an appointment at the store!!!!!!

    Go to: http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/.  Click the store you want, then on Genius bar and you can make an appointment that way.

  • Make a genius bar appointment?

    The "make a genius bar appointment" seems to be missing from the online support options. At least I spent 15 minutes trying to find it, then called my local store to see if they could tell me how to do it, and they couldn't. Is Apple doing away with all those geniuses?
    If someone—from any of the support communities—could suggest how I can do this online I would appreciate it.  Thanks

    I couldn't get get to Genius Bar from there today (though I had many times in the past). It kept taking me to a screen that said: call, chat, or leave a number. The local Apple Store person I eventually called said Appke was ”encouraging people" to experience the pleasure of solving problems "on our own." I suggested to him that the folks at his genius bar might start looking for a job.

  • Why can't i ever book a genius bar appointment?

    Everytime I try to book a genius bar appointment it says there are no reservations available. WHY! It's so annoying!! I don't want to lug my laptop all the way to the apple store only to be told I can't be seen by anyone. What's the point in having the option to book a genius bar appointment when I can't! I tried in Naples Florida when I was visiting there and now in Leeds, this is ridiculous.

    alice
    I'm sorry to hear that your local Genius Bar in Leeds (UK? not Alabama,US) is so busy - must be very busy as the Web System I used to test was kind of 'abrupt' with its Alert, informing me "There are no reservations available at this time." {paraphrased?}
    I am not one to be defeated so easily, however.
    If I were to take my portable Mac to the nearest Apple Store here in Dallas, TX-US, I could drive there in about 22 minutes. I realize that folks in the UK may not even own a car, relying on the UK's robust Public Transportation System. If I were to take transit system to the same location, it would take me between 1.5 & 2 hours! Ours is not as evolved as yours, alas.
    So, if you were to try the next nearest location to Leeds - Sheffield - you could drive there in <35 minutes. If you were to take the train, ±40 minutes -1 hour == BETTER than my trip,  so I'll post my results...
    Sheffield Apple Store Genius Bar available reservations
    Sample Train Schedule for Friday, April 17, 2015 (earliest Wed, the 15th but better hurry)
    ⬆ click/tap EITHER for full size ⬆
    best luck

  • It's impossible to schedule a Genius Bar appointment

    Apple seems to have removed the Genius Bar appointment function - it's impossible to reach a store by phone...and impossible to connect via chat.
    it's as if they have become Comcast suddenly.
    What gives?

    It is my understanding that they're trying to get more information from you and offer other possible support options first. They probably want to cut down on unnecessary appointments by attempting to resolve simple issues online and are also trying to avoid some situations where people were booking multiple appointments for a variety of reasons.
    I made one a couple of weeks ago with no problems. It was for a screen repair so it was pretty definitely not an issue that could be resolved by chat or a phone call.

  • I don't understand how many times I have to ask! Cannnot confirm Genius Bar appointment !!

    I cannot confirm Genius Bar appointment with Chinook Apple Store in Calgary Alberta , Canada   for 16th Oct 2014 at 11:15 AM By clicking   the mouse on the screen it does not confirm !!

    "grade_c.java:87: Exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException must be caught"This error message is telling you to catch the exception. So...
    try
      //your code
    catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException exception)
      exception.printStackTrace();
    }

  • Why can't i arrange a genius bar appointment?

    i want to get a new battery and maybe upgrade my HD in my Macbook Pro 17"
    so i naturally thought that all i had to do was to arrange a Genius Bar appointment
    but having tried i keep getting directed to a £25 phone call with a specialist which i don't want
    or worse get told there are no vacancies for Genius Bar appointments\
    what EVER?????????????
    when did it become impossible to just book a time to see someone to assess the situation and get Apple to update my Mac?

    Thank you. I did stumble upon this idea after I wrote my question and it works! Not sure what's up with the website -- seems like Apple should be more on top of user interface than they are.  Thanks for responding.

  • Can't make a Genius Bar appointment

    I went in to my local Apple store today because my Mac crashed and the message was due to no memory. When they checked it, they said it had to be seen by a Genius Bar tech and to go home and make an online appt. I have done this many times so imagine my surprise at the new website navigation and the absolute impossibility of getting to the Genius Bar page. Apple is doing everything in its power not to provide this service- from blocking out days previously to not allowing customers to make an appt. They want to force me on to the Paid Service option.
    How do I make this appointment. Part of the reason I always loved Apple was its superior customer service. Seems that reality is gone.....

    originalewrote:
    when was the last time you tried? They have changed things, You  CANNOT schedule a genius bar appt directly anymore. You have to call and they want to charge you for the cal
    The last time I made an on-line genius bar appt was November 20, 2014.
    So yes you can, unless they changed something in the last 7 days?
    I was out of warranty as well,  it was not an issue and I was not charged anything for doing so.
    Granted it is more difficult then before, I tried to walk you through it above.  Good luck.  You can always call your store.

  • Out of warranty Iphone 5 replacement - can I do this in-store without a genius bar appointment?

    My Iphone 5 has died and despite attempts to fix this in-store I have been told that I will need to buy a replacement out-of-warranty phone. I have been through the genius bar process last month to try and fix the phone but without success. I now simply want to buy the replacement phone (at the reduced rate as the phone was not damaged by me). Do I need to make an appointment in the apple store or can I just show up and purchase this, as long as I have the broken old phone with me? Any similar experiences? I'd be grateful for any advice. I don't want to make a wasted trip to the Apple store just to be told I need another appointment! Thanks

    You could BUT only if you are prepared to wait for a gap or a no show, possibly all day
    Far better to make an appointment and know you will be seen
    the genius will examine your iPhone and if satisfied it qualifies should offer an out of warranty exchange unit ($269 in US )
