Can I go to genius bar at store and have my MacAir worked on?
Yup, My MacAir (late 2010) Snow Leopard 10.6.8, is starting to get bogged down a bit with data on my drive and I'm receiving notifications that the Start menu? is nearing capacity and I need to start deleting files. So, I don't want to hassle with it myself, I'd much rather pay someone to do it for me and hopefully do it Right...
What would be the charges $$$??? and from what I need to have done? A complete uninstall and install of Mavericks, or delete files from my disc or whatever? I dunno which or what is Best?
I know, confused and all over the place. This is why I'm asking...
Thanks,
Phil A.
After you backup your files.
Reboot in safe mode (shift key down) Do not start any programs. From the finder you will want to search for name Cache - From the Kind Button click and pull down to Other - type SYS the works Sytem Files should apper or be very close add System Files to the menu (check box).
So you will
search for Name matches Cache, click + Kind is Folder click +. Kind->System Files Included. you will see a list of folders
Click the first one, hold shift down and scroll to click the last in the list. Command-I will (eventually) tell you how many GB of space they occupy (just for your information).
Comand-Delete will put them all in the trash.
Command-Shift-Delte will Empty the trash
Restart normally. Do Not Start any Programs.
Now go through iTunes, iPhoto and delte unwanted media.
Once you have near 10% free space you can go to Apple for more help

If I buy orange glass from online could I bring it into a apple store and have workers do it? I don't want to do it myself and break my ipod
The Apple Store would not accept parts from somewhere else even if they did repair rather than replace iPods. If you don't want to pay Apple's out-of-warranty exchange pricing, you'll either need to find an independent iPod repair service to perform the repair (and all of those will probably want to provide the parts themselves) or do the repair on your own.

I've had it for less than a year and noticed a few weeks ago that it had a red dot on the center of the screen. About a week ago I noticed another dot, a white one, right next to it. I've never dropped it and even went out of my way to buy a decent case to keep it safe. I spent over 200$ on my 4Gen iPod Touch it and I'm very concerned that these dots will spread across my screen. Can I send it to the Apple store by me and have it replaced?
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and find out. If defective, within warranty and not abused Apple may exchange it at no cost.

I stupidly tried opening up my iPhone 5s to clean the rear camera a few weeks ago. In doing so I tore one of the cables on the display and it stopped working, as did the home button. I had to take it to a local shop where I was charged £100 for the screen repair and a new home button (I was told that the fingerprint scanner would no longer work).
Long story short, I took the phone back the next day because I couldn't hear anything through the earpiece, but the speaker was working. The guy did something to do my phone and fixed it temporarily, now about 3 weeks later it still isn't working.
I would take it back to the same shop and complain, but I will probably get the same shoddy service. I really regret not taking it to the apple store in the first place as it probably wouldn't have been much more expensive. What are my options?Since everything you did voided your warranty, Apple will at best charge you the out of warranty replacement fee, and offer you a refurbished iPhone of same specs as your own.
You'll need to take it in and discuss your options with them directly if they wish to offer you any. -
The genius bar sold me a LaCie 500 GB EHD today but I can't get it to work properly. Can I schedule another genius bar appt. to help me with this issue even though the EHD is not an Apple product?
Yes, if you purchased it in an Apple store, they should be able to assist you. Bring your MBP with you as well as the Drive.

Can I take my iphone to the store to have it checked out although the contract is not under my name?
Yes. Make appointment with Genius to avoid possible long wait. Also any Warranty or AppleCare coverage is attached to the iPhone, so just bring the phone for evaluation.

If I bought my iPhone in America from an Apple Store and have the receipt can I return it to a Japanese Apple store? Yes it is within 30 days, I bought it July 21st, meaning it is within 15 days, as well.
I would doubt it, but there's nobody here who can speak on behalf of Apple. Phone the Japanese store: they will know far better than us fellow users.

After a trip to Brazil, the App Store apparently thinks my iPad 2 is still there. When I try to download an app, I get a message that I can't get that app from the Brazilian store and have to switch to the U.S. store. The general settings are correct. I apparently need to switch locations manually, specifically for the App Store. Help?
Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap your Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign back in. The App Store will automatically change to the store from which your account is authorized to make purchases.

can I create an album on my iphone and have it stores all the photos I take from then on to that folder/album?
I think that would be super useful before you go to an event, create a folder on the phone for that event and just use it to take pictures. All the pictures for the event will be in that album and no need to move pics around at a later time!That would be great, but unfortunately, all new pictures automatically go into the Camera Roll.
I wish that once you created an album and selected it to import from the Camera Roll, it would delete from the Camera Roll. -
I want to change my ID but I can't.i go to my iPad store and sign in my new ID but don't accept
I find that the easiest way to change the account you are using on your mobile device is to scroll down to the bottom of the iTunes Store or App Store on the device and tap the Apple ID button. Then:
- To sign out, or to sign in to a different account, tap the Sign Out button.
- To sign back in, tap the Sign In button, then tap either Use Existing Apple ID or Create New Apple ID, and follow the on-screen instructions from there. I hope this helps.
