Can Apple replace the bundled OSX and Applications DVD?
I would like to know if Apple can send me a copy of the Mac OS X disc that came bundled in my Mac in case the original bundled disc becomes not usable.
Thank You.

Most likely, you'll get a more definitive answer if you actually ask Apple.
I have heard here that Apple will supply, for a small fee, replacement disks for the ones that came with your Mac.
Or, you could buy some blank DVDs (most likely double-layer [DL]) and burn your own backups. You should run System Profiler, click on Disk burning, and see what options you have. For instance, mine says:DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RWwhich means I can write DVD-R, -RW, +R DL, and +RW. The disk labels will tell you which ones they are, just like what System profiler reports. I have experienced and heard others say that DL disks are finicky and Verbatim seems to work well.

Second time also said that Paul'Mac already exist, Paul'Mac 2 created.

Can you replace the front cover and screen of a 4th generation ipod
My 30GB is fine but front cover and screen are scratched - is it worthe getting them replaced.
Duncan,
Whether or not it's worth the cost is totally up to you. The cost is going to depend on whether or not you choose to have Apple do the repair job, a third party repair company, or yourself. Do it yourself repairs will be the cheapest route, but it comes with the highest risk.
If you are willing to fork out the money to get it fixed, then go for it.

Can Apple replace my macbook pro (mid 2012) retina's battery if I think that the battery health has gone bad/in need of and renewal???
I've had my Macbook for about 11 months now and i use it every day; its gone though about 420 cycles of charging and using the power, and i noticed the battrey preformance has decreased (as expected). The problem isn't sevear yet but it would comfort me knowing that i could replace the battery in the near future
Please contact me or answer the question if you know anything about this!Exitio\'s Apple wrote:

No only if they think under warranty/AppleCare, but your likely able to pay for a new battery if they have them, which they might not yet since it's such a new machine still.
BTW, I have a Early 2011 17" MBP, 27 months old, charges to 97% and has only 14 cycles. -
My iphone has fallen into the water 6months ago and there is no apple store in my country so i gave the phone s technical service.but they couldnt repair the phone.and now the battery is swollen.can i replace the phone with the new one in spain?
You can only obtain warranty OR post warranty service in the country of original purchase
As your iPhone has user damage it has no warranty
IF the iPhone originated from Spain or another EU country you can get out of warranty service in any EU country -
I have an iphone 4 and it's not working, if i pay can apple replace it with the same model even though it's no longer for sale?
If the iPhone has not been opened or serviced by other than Apple
or authoriized service provider (there are a few other requirements),
you should be eligible for out of warranty replacemement for $149 US.
Apple maintains sufficient stock for replacements even for iPhones that
are no longer available for purchase. You may be better off upgrading to
a newer version than paying $149 to stay with the iPhone 4.
What is no longer working? If you provide more details as to the problem
and what troubleshooting steps you have taken, some one may offer
a solution. -

I had a replacement iphone 4 sent from apple through the service plan and now need to change carriers, orange dont now have my imei registered on their database and cant process the unlock can i unlock another way without jailbreak?
Hi philhardinges,
You can ask Apple support for the replacement receipt, this receipt would have the old iphone information(including Imei) and the replacement iphone information.
I had a problem like you and they sent me that information, then with the old imei you can unlock your iphone
Another way to take the old iphone imei, you can look for the original iphone box, yep, the one i hope you saved carefully somewhere in your house hahaha. The imei is showed on the bottom of the box down-right corner.
Hope this information can help you.
Best regards -
Can't install the Bundled applications from the Applications Install Disc
Hi.
I can't install the bundled software, such as iphoto and so on. It says something about installation failed, without a fail code????? please help me it is so annoying! Ps. the Mac has i completly reinstalled MAC OSX on!I was having the same issue after reinstalling a MacBook Pro 17 with OS X 10.6.6 this weekend.
When trying to install the Applications Install DVD, I got the message "An unknown installation error has occurred".
I connected the MacBook Pro to the Internet and let it download software updates. After rebooting, it had updated to OS X 10.6.8. Applications Install DVD came back with same error. Then the software updates ran again and this time there was an Apple Software Installer Update 1.0 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1512) . After this update, the Applications Install DVD loaded fine.
Hope this works for you. -
We have two iphones each with a different apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates without risking having my apps overwritten. Basically does itunes keep the two iphones as two separate entities ? Does iTunes differentiate between the two devices and keep two different SYNCs ?
Yes, you can use the same computer for BACK UPS, RESTORING AND UPDATING. But that is it.
You cannot, however, use it to sync the different devices. iTunes will only recognize one device to sync with and if you sync any other devices with that iTunes library, it will replace what is on the phone with whatever is in the library. It cannot differentiate between devices. At most, it will jsut recognize that the phone has been synced with a different iTunes library.
So if you would like to use the same computer for backing up, restoring and updating, just make sure to turn of Automatic Syncing in your iTunes Preferences. -
My husband and I share one computer. We want to be able to share the same music on our iPhones, but we don't want to share the same contacts and applications. How can I set this up so we still share music, but everything else is separate on our iPhones?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes and iCloud are different accounts. You can both use the same ID for the store login and share your music etc., and use different ID's to log in to iCloud, thereby keeping your calendars etc separate. -
i have an iphone 5 that i traded with from a family member. its has coverage but now the sleep/wake button doesnt work sometimes. can apple replace my iphone and give me a new one or is it just something they can repair? i dont have the box or recipit to apple care or the iphone
Apple can fix it without your receipt or box. They pull the serial number from the device and determine warranty status from that. Hopefully ApplCare was registered to the product before you lost the receipt though. If not, you can go back to the point of purchase and obtain your AppleCare receipt and Apple can help attach it to the iPhone.

Since upgrading iMac to osx lion I have been experiencing problems in mail, it spontaneously stops receiving and tells me it can't find the pop server and also the biggest problem is that when I send with an attachment the recipient doesn't receive it.
I have to restart mail most times before it starts recieving or recognizes the pop server.
As I said a lot of recipients do not recieve my mails when there is an attachment or when I reply to their email.Contact iTunes Customer Service and request assistance

When my wife bought this ipad 18 months ago, she (or the store) set up an Apple ID that had the extension @me.com. She never wrote down the password that was created. Neither of us knew how to change the password and retrieve or create the new one. When we started actually trying to download apps, this became a problem. She called customer support before the first year of ownership ended, and they created a new Apple ID. This ID works; we can go to the support site and log in with it, yada yada. However, when I go to the app store and want to get a new app or update an existing app, the Apple ID login field prepopulates with her original ID, which is no good to us. I can't find any way of putting in the new, valid Apple ID in this login field. Why doesn't the app store give me the option to change the Apple ID this device wants to use? How do I change this setting? I'm in a time crunch, and we need to be able to download and use a few apps for some business purposes.
settings -> iTunes & App Store
click on apple ID listed there
select Sign Out
sign in with the proper account
from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID
