Broken hard returned to apple by service provider when asked not too because I wanted the opportunity to recover data

I took my mac into a service provider in turkey with a broken hard drive. I asked the not to return the hard drive right away in order for me to recover the data. They dis not listen and returned it. It has only been posted a day ago is there anything i can do to get it back?
Thanks in advance,
Zara

That's what the Apple Store and resellers do: they keep your hard drive but it's not used. If you didn't recover anything from the hard drive, ask them to return your hard drive because you asked them to do it before being your hard drive replaced. If they refuse, contact with Apple > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Anyway, you should have done this before taking it

  • If I buy a Mac and iPad online, will I still be able to claim warranty at an Apple Authorized Service Provider?

    If I buy a Mac and iPad online, will I still be able to claim warranty at an Apple Authorized Service Provider?
    I am going to buy a Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display and iPad from www.topbuy.com.au . It's a legit website, but they say the items have topbuy warranties, not apple ones. They say I have to send off my faulty device to them, and they will fix it, but I don't want to do that. I just want to walk into an Apple store, tell them the problem and have a happy ending, like what's supposed to happen. Will I be able to do this?
    Thanks

    Apple warranty is good at any Apple service provider, AASP or store.
    But you seem to be reaching far to defend that "it's a legit website", especially when they seem to be directing you from seeking certified Apple service.
    As the saying goes: If it looks like a duck, and it sound like a duck, it's quackers to bypass an Apple store or Apple online to save a few $$.  Well, something like that.

  • Apple Authorised Service Provider in West Africa

    Please advise on any Apple Authorised Service Provider in West Africa, preferably Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo,, Benin and Nigeria.
    The more I get used to Apple and the more I became dependant on the Apple computers and you can imagine how frustrating it can be to have to bring a computer all the way from either the States or France and not be able to sort out maintenance problem.
    Regards.

    Try > Apple - Find Locations
    You might also try > Trouver un revendeur - Find a reseller  to see if any of the resellers there provide support and service.

  • Should an Apple Authorized Service Provider ask for my personal login password?

    I sent my Macbook Pro to an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) because the computer wasn't turning on. While I was giving my information they asked for my login password in order to be able to install some diagnostic software. I didn't want to gave my personal password because with that you can get passwords that are stored in Keychain.
    They say that they needed so I ended up trusting them, but does Apple allow  AASP to ask for personal passwords?

    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

  • Apple Authorised Service Provider

    how do i become a apple Authorised service provider?

    Basically you don't at this time. The site James linked to above says that Apple is not accepting applications for service provider at this time.
    Note that being an Apple service provider, even if they were accepting new applications, would not qualify you to repair iPhones or other iOS devices. Apple does not presently certify any independent service providers, even ones they already have under contract, to do actual repairs on such devices. I mention this just since you were discussing repair of an iPhone in another thread.
    Regards.

  • Since trying to install the latest version of ITunes I have not been able to get it to launch at all! I get a message that says " C:Programme files\common files\Apple\Apple Push service.dll is either not designed to run on windows or contains an error. "

    Please help! After I click ok on the error message above I get another message box that says "ITunes not installed Error 7 (Windows error 193)
    I have uninstalled it and re-installed it, I have rsn the repair ITunes, I have re doqnloaded Quicktime- nothing will work
    Thanks

    I also had this issue when one day itunes stopped working for me on windows 8...
    the error message I received first was: C:Programme files\common files\Apple\Apple Push service.dll is either not designed to run on windows or contains an error.
    followed by: ITunes not installed Error 7 (Windows error 193)
    Your response addressed how to fix this issue with earlier windows operating systems, but not for windows 8, so what ended up working for me was your advice applied a little differently. For anyone running windows 8 needing to know how to resolve this issue by repairing the Apple Application Support program, try following these simple steps - what a relief it was to have itunes working again after applying b noir's answer to the windows 8 operating system!
    1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Control Panel.
    (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Control Panel.)
    2. Click the Programs and Features icon.
    3. In the list of programs and features, find the Apple Application Support feature and click to select it.
    4.  In the gray title bar above it, click Repair.
    5. Approve the window prompts that follow until the repair has been completed.
    6. Relaunch iTunes.
    Hope this helps & good luck!

  • Hello. I have an iphone 5s and i can not activate imessage nor facetime. I followed all the steps provided by the apple page and still i can not make it connect. The phone is connected to wifi at all times and has ios 8.

    Hello. I have an iphone 5s and i can not activate imessage nor facetime. I followed all the steps provided by the apple page and still i can not make it connect. The phone is connected to wifi at all times and has ios 8.

    Can you send SMS by using the mobile data network instead of Wi-Fi? I had the same problem setting up my 5s from a backup of my 4s. Only after I sent an SMS via mobile data network, somehow iMessage and FaceTime got activated a couple of minutes later without me doing anything else.
    I even changed my Apple ID password, because at one point I could not log into my account when iMessage asked for my account details.

  • HT5624 Restore back up of my iPhone-password not recognised. After restore, itunes can not restore because it says the password is incorrect. But I can sign into my apple account with the password.

    Restore back up of my iPhone-password not recognised. After restore, itunes can not restore because it says the password is incorrect. But I can sign into my apple account with the password.  My iPhone is now set to factory settings as a new phone, what can i do to access the back up from my phone before I reset it. 

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

    Go here and tell Apple you want the scheduled (automated) Do Not Disturb feature to be expanded and include your example.
    @vdub: Under Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb you can automate Do Not Disturb.

  • I have all my music on my external hard drive when I try to add it to iTunes it is automatically added to my MacBook Pro's hard drive. How do I stop this from happening? I just want the music to stay on the external hard drive. Thanks!

    This is true of course, but doesn't cover the situation where some files are in the iTunes Media folder and others are on an external drive. In my case I keep my music in the Media folder and all my films on an external drive (there are too many to have on the internal drive). In iTunes 11, and before, it was easy to add those external files by holding down the alt/opt key while dragging to the sidebar. In iTunes 12 this is no longer possible. There are several workarounds: use TuneSpan to move the file after it's been added; delete the file from the Media folder and empty the trash then use iTunes Get Info which will report the file is missing and allow you to locate it; constantly switch the Add to iTunes toggle on and off as required. All of these require a lot more work than just holding down the alt/opt key while adding.
    It constantly gets harder.

  • I have two apple accounts, but can only access one. I did all the steps to recover the older account's password but nothing worked. I need to access the older account to update apps. Also would there be a way to just combine both accounts?

    Were you able to reset the account's password ? If not then how did you try to get it reset e.g. http://iforgot.apple.com (which would have sent it to the rescue email address if you have one on that account) ? You can also try contacting iTunes Support in your country to get it reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    And no, accounts can't be merged nor content transferred between accounts.

  • I purchased an apple gift card, but i am not having any success adding the money to my itunes account or apple account so i can purchase music or apps, how can i do this

    I purchased an apple gift card, but i am not having any success adding the money to my itunes account or apple account so i can purchase music or apps, how can i do this

    If you bought an Apple gift card, then you cannot use it in the iTunes store.  You can only use it in the Apple store for hardware.
    You would need an iTunes gift card to buy anything in iTunes
