Can Apple Store order a custom MacBook Pro For Me...

I purchased a 2015 MacBook Pro two days ago.  Purchased the 256gb 8GB ram model.  I find that I do actually need the 16GB of RAM.  If I still have my macbook pro within the return policy, can Apple Store order one for me (with 16gb of RAM) and let me use the one I currently have until the 16GB model comes into the store and I just swap computers and pay the difference?  Or do I just pay the difference up front and swap computers when the 16GB model comes in? 
I would be without a computer for the time being, and I have clients that I work with on a day to day basis.  Being without a computer would be very bad...

You may be able to arrange with the Apple Store genius or specialist, to help you migrate
the current computer content to the new one when it arrives, and before you surrender the
one you want to upgrade from; they may also be able to help erase the returned model.
Usually from the time you contact Apple and arrange to return the computer (under the
14 day time frame) you then have a certain amount of time to send or take the return
to Apple; so if you contact Apple on say, the 12th day, and there are no weekends or
holidays to disrupt the physical time-frame return, you may have more than just 2 days.
I was told after discussing the return of a new Mini, (on the 8th day) that I had 14 days
after the day I told them I was wanting to return the computer. And if I chose to change
my mind, I could do nothing and that time-frame would elapse.
However, returns and exchange policies vary from OK to non-existent when the purchase
was through an authorized reseller that was not an authentic official Apple Store, or via the
official online Apple Store. An independent reseller usually will not allow returns or refunds.
Hopefully you can work it out to get the model you want and not be stuck with two, or none...

  • Pages purchased via Apple Store not installed in MacBook Pro

    Hi, I bought a new MacBook Pro  recently (Mac OS X Version 10.7.4). I purchased Pages via Apple Store and click the 'INSTALL' button. After that I found that Pages is never installed in my computer (I check the applications folder and could not find pages installed in it). Can anyone help me out.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Dear Jerry,
    Thank you for the reply. Sorry for the delay in replying.
    You are right. There is an application in MacBook Pro (Lion) with the name App Store.
    I purchased the software using this application only.
    I am sorry. I did not purchase it online in apple online store. I purchased online through this application (App Store).
    Finally, I figured out. I had a previous installation of iWork in my MacBook Pro (Lion). I read in the internet
    about this and came to know that I should go to Library/Preferences/ and then delete Com.Apple.iWork.
    I did this. Rebooted the system and then tried to install. I was successful and now Pages is installed.
    Thank you very much for the help.

  • TS2518 license number has to be reentered every time I open Aperture after having data transfer done by Apple store to a new macbook pro. How do I get the license number saved?

    I have to re-enter my Aperture license number and upgrade number every time I open Aperture after buying a new MacBook Pro and paying for the data transfer to be done at the Apple store. I can understand having to do this the first time but not every time. How can I get the license number saved?

    Aperture 3.4.3 update specifically claims to fix the serial number problem. See the Release notes.
    If you've already done the update and still have the problem, read this forum post about the same topic and a solution.

  • I need to upgrade my Mac, is there anyway I can swap my 4 month old Macbook Pro for a iMac or something with a bit more kick? (for video editing)

    I would ideally like to upgrade to a new model iMac, as they and my Macbook Pro 15inch, only 4 months old go for about the same price.
    Is there any way I can do this through Apple or would I have to go about it in another way. I would like to minimise spending and ideally would not like to buy a completely new computer. What I'm asking, really, is if I can trade the two?

    No you cannot trade in. Sell you MBP on eBay for the best value. The best 'bang for your buck' currently offered directly from Apple is their certified refurbished machines:

  • How can i get imovie on my macbook pro for free?

    i have a brand new macbook pro and i don't have ilife or iwork installed, does anyone know how i could get it without purchasing it?
    thanks

    Hello purple23
    When you open the Mac App Store for the first time, it should ask you to except the purchase for the bundled applications. For iwork, you will need to make sure that you are running OS X Mavericks and as long as your Mac was purchased after October 22, you should be able to download those apps for free.
    Alerts may occur when accepting bundled applications from the Mac App Store

  • Can I exchange my late 2009 macbook pro for the new 2010 one?

    Ya, just what the subject asks... I really like to keep up with technology, and I bought my macbook pro like 1-1/2 to 2 months ago...

    There aren't really any quad-core options that have reasonable power requirements at this time. The current machines that do use the mobile i7 quad core processors are all pretty hefty desktop replacement machines and typically get just a few hours of runtime on battery.
    One of the advantages of the i5 and i7 (dual core) over the previous Core 2 processors is that they use Hyperthreading. So, the OS actually "sees" 4 cores and each of those four cores can be utilized as if it were an actual core.

  • Order a "Custom" Macbook from Apple Store

    So first I am going to buy a macbook, I am getting
    Macbook 2.0 ghz white
    Apple Care
    I work
    1 gig ram
    80 or 100gb harddrive
    Now I know I can order this online, but can I order it in the store, then go and pick it up when its ready. I know they can't custimize it in the store, what I am asking is will an apple store hold my laptop until I pick it up. I have had alot of delivery problems lately.

    Hi,
    Regarding on line odering, I have ordered about 5 items from Apple's on line store. All have been positive experiences. But here is what made it an awesome experience:
    I purchased an IBook G4 on line in early April not knowing the MacBook was coming out on May 16th (who did?). ALthough it was well over a month, I called customer service and complained that I wanted to return it because had I known about the MacBook, etc, etc.. I got a full refund (no restocking fee but I did have to pay $30 for Fedex to ship it back which I did not mind), then ordered a MacBook for my daughter. Apple's Customer Service and on line store have been teriffic. I also just ordered a MacBook Pro for myself from the online store with the glossy screen option, 2,16GHz and 2GB RAM. The Apple Stores do not offer the glossy screen option (at least not the store here in Hawaii). My point is that Apple is a very professional company and they want to make their customers happy. I have found them to bend over backwards to accomodate me

  • How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

    How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

    For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA  audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver.  Use something like this:

  • How can I download windows onto a MAcbook Pro if it is not even in the app store?

    How can I download windows onto a macbook pro if it is not even offered at the app store?

    Am I the only one that see's the walled garden horror in that statement?
    Go to a Office type store or online and buy a copy of Windows  7 Home Basic, Home or Pro  (whatever) and stick the 64bit DVD into the computer.
    You'll have to first learn about Bootcamp  if your going to want to dual boot, it's complex and a hassle, but gives full hardware performance.
    https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Another way is to first install VMFusion, Parallels or VirtualBox and then install Windows into that, Windows runs like a file in a window on OS X. You can run Windows programs in that, but it's not as powerful as BootCamp method, but more convenient for most normal (non-hardware taxing) programs.

  • Why i can't download iWork in my macbook pro retina? Apple said that is free and i can't download it. help please!

    Is your Mac new?
    http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/up-to-date/
    FWIW, iWork as such is no longer available; it is now separate applications: Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
    Do you have the older (via install DVD) iWork 09 version installed? Then the new versions should show up in Updates (mac app store).

  • How can I transfer photos from Apple TV to a new MacBook Pro?  I have My Photo Stream turned on for both.

    I have a new McBook Pro with OS X Mavericks.  I transferred my photos from my old MacBook Pro to my Apple TV.  I turned on My Photo Stream on both my Apple TV and my new MacBook Pro, and I want to transfer my photos to my new MacBook.  Will this work?  It's not transferring them automatically, but I don't know what else I need to do to make it work.  Thank you!

    no you can't only option is to take it apart and put the harddisk in an usb ext harddisk case and connect it to the computer copy the photos to the computer
    take the harddisk out of the ext usb harddisk case and put it back into the appletv and assemble it again

  • Recent convert to Apple. Previously, I backed up my family pictures from PC to an external hard drive,  a WD MyBook 3T. I can view the pics on my Macbook Pro, but I can't add new pictures. I'm sure this is a format issue, any easy way to correct it?

    Install NTFS 3G

    If you were going to be reading and writing to a NTFS System Partition, you might have to worry about the instability messing up the operating system.  However, you are reading/writing from a non system, backup device so you don't have to worry about screwing up an operating system.
    I would still temporarily move my data to another device and reformat the drive for Mac OS X Extended.

    No you don't need to use AirPlay from the computer to AppleTV.
    Just use the AppleTV as you would with wifi. Everything is controlled from the AppleTV.
