Can I return my rMBP?

Hey guys, so I purchased a retina MBP right before Christmas, and I would like to return it for a new one with more RAM. Can I return this to the Apple Store I purchased it at and pay for a new one with more RAM?

You won't be able to return it due to Apple's 14-day return policy and you're past that time frame. You can try by calling Apple and see what they'll do for you.
Having AppleCare doesn't matter as far as returns or exchanges. Unfortunately, with Retina's one has to know how much RAM they'll need before purchasing so they get it configured with enough RAM. We don't always know that until AFTER the fact.

  • Can I return my macbook air that I brought during the holidays (Thanksgiving)

    I was gifted a Macbook air during the thanksgiving season, and since I am a computer science developer ( a student to be precise), I want to return my Mac and opt in for a Windows machine ( so that I can get enough software support if needed, there are several people around me with a pc). I was wondering, how can I return my laptop ? What are the terms and conditions ?
    Thank you in advance.

    I would think you cannot return a product after the return date has passed.
    Call the Apple Store and ask them.

    You need to talk with the tax authorities in the countries to which you traveled and that of your home country. We are all end-users liek you and not Apple agents.

  • Can I return my new laptop to lenovo because of its quality problem?

    IBM is one of the best brand as I know, especially showing us not only high quality of products but the service.
    But now one thing happened to me, if I don't have this case I can't believe. I found there is something with the laptop(T61 Model 7658CTO) the same day when I got the new laptop on June 3rd, 2008. Then I call 800, a lot of 800 calls,at last I were told that I should contact send it back first if I were to get another new one. Three days later I got the box sent by Lenovo, and I return it back in terms of what the paper shown.
    Unfortunately the problems of the laptop still exist when I turn on my laptop after it repaired. What's wrong with my laptop, this is new one, I think IBM should provide high quality products.
    I don't know how to describe the weird sound , it sounds like two or more micphone opened clost to each other. It is very harsh.
    I want to get one new laptop from Lenovo because of the quality of product and customer service or can I return the laptop?
    I would appreciate any advice you can give me.

    I did it last week because I bought an iPhone 4 as a wedding gift but then I changed my mind and wanted an iPad, so the bride could use it together with the groom (while the phone is personal).
    I returned the iPhone to the apple store and I paid the difference to buy the 32GB iPad, no problems
    I didn't opened the case, but the guy at the apple store told me I could have returned the phone even if it was opened. It must be undamaged tough.

  • Can I return my Macbook Pro and get a refund?

    I bought my Macbook Pro 2 weeks ago (July 16th). I bought it with the student discount, and they also gave me a 100 dollar gift card to the Apple Store. I would like to return my macbook and get a refund however, because I see that a new macbook pro came out. It has better specs and costs the same price. What the heck! Anyways, can I return this laptop and then buy the new one?

    The return period is 14 days.
    You are very close to that now.
    If you really want to do that get down to theApple Store fast and you might still be able to do it.
    Personally with the difference between the two models, I don't see it as that big of a deal to get the newer model.

  • Can I return my iPhone 6 and go back to my 5?

    Hi folks,
    I mail-ordered an iPhone 6 because my current phone's a 5, and I've been doing the every-other-generation dance since my first iPhone, a 3G. For the very first time, though, I think I regret my upgrade. I'm probably going to allow a few days to get used to this new, big phone, but I feel doubtful.
    My question, then: is there a way I can say "Ha ha oops never mind", switch my US AT&T service back to my 5, and return the 6? My best guess based on experience is that Apple would take the phone back in 30 days (at least they do that with Mac purchases), and AT&T would be happy to fine me $150 for early-termination on my old phone and sign me up for a new two-year commitment on my old one, again. Which would be kind of awful.
    Is there a better way, or do I just have to see this as an expensive life lesson?
    Motivation: I find the 6 very uncomfortable to hold and use one-handed, and I have no desire for a larger screen if the tradeoff is that I am obliged use this device two-handed now. I feel quite frustrated every time I need to tap any screen's "Back" button, now physically out of my thumb's reach way up there at the top of the screen. Double-tapping the home button to push the top controls within reach feels like an ugly hack, and reminds me every time I do it that this phone is larger than I'd like it to be. Perhaps most worrying of all, I find myself unable to keep my wrist straight while holding this bigger, heavier phone, and I can feel my nascent RSI tingling while I'm trying to read a book on it. Add all these up and you have the very first time I'm using a new iPhone and am not just not in love with it, but really alarmed and half-panicking that this essential life-tool doesn't even feel like it fits with my body any more.
    So yeah. Pretty sure I wanna go back to the light, wonderful 5. Any advice would be appreciated.

    In the exact same boat here. Life-long iPhone user. Got a 6 on Tuesday and absolutely hate it to the point where I dread using it. Upgraded from an iPhone 4 I'd had for 4+ years. After making several phone calls, my understanding is that Apple will take it back no problem, within 14 days. My iPhone 4 was out of contract with AT&T but when I bought the 6, I renewed my previous contract for 2 years. My AT&T contract also has a 14 days, cancel for any reason with no early termination fee, clause. I assume your AT&T contract would have the same. But I don't think you need to worry about canceling your contract. Since you still have your iPhone 5, you should be able to bring it to the AT&T store, have them switch the existing contract from the 6 to your old 5 and then you can go return the 6 to the Apple store where you bought it. That's no different than being halfway through a two year contract, your phone is stolen and you have to buy a new one at retail price to replace it on your existing contract. You're essentially just bringing your own device you already paid for (the 5) to the existing AT&T plan.
    I would just caution that assuming you want to keep your phone number, get the service put back on your 5 at AT&T and have them deactivate the 6 before you go return the 6. Or just make sure the Apple store is capable of transferring the service from the 6 back to the 5 while you're there to do the 6 return.

  • How can I return my ipad 1 to pre OS5?

    how can I return my ipad 1 to pre OS5?
    Ive been reading the forums all over the place to find the solution to my ipad 1 continually crashing. it does it mainly in safari and the app store.
    Its really annoying when you're halfway through composing a long e-mail message and it just reverts back to the home screen.
    I'm perfectly happy to give up the advantages of IOs 5, because I would rather have a stable machine (like it used to be) than use the cloud and multitasking. (I don't use them anyway). I know that some of my apps might stop working but its more important to me that the basics work.
    cheers
    Andy

    You cannot downgrade the iOS.  Once you upgrade, you're stuck with it.
    Part of your problem is that your iPad is old and it probably having difficulty keeping up with the data and protocols for the newer software.  It's probably time to send a note to Santa. 

  • Can I return my new iPhone?

    Hi all,
    Can I return my new iPhone 4? I have had it for a week, and just wondering if I can return the phone, and how that would work with AT&T?
    Why, you ask? I think overall the phone has sub-standard quality, at least what I had grown used to with my 3Gs. My 3Gs was a tank, and had fantastic reception, and was fast. I am a power user, use my phone all day for business, uss Apps & games everyday on wifi and 3G. My 3Gs was very reliable, and rock solid. No complaints. And I am also a decades long Apple user, having bought several MacBooks, and an iPad earlier this year.
    My complaints? The phone is slow. I live in Manhattan where there are cell towers on every block. Sending/receiving email is painfully slow and often times out, even when I am connected to a high speed home wifi signal. Calls now drop nearly every time I call someone. And again, I live in one of the best places for AT&T coverage in the US. Games are also slow, they "stutter" as if the OS is slow.
    There are yellow spots on my screen. With a case the squared body is thick, and does not lend itself to slipping in your pants pocket. And sorry, if you dont use a case and a screen protector your phone will get trashed in no time, its common sense. This phone feels fragile, as opposed to the 3Gs which was a tank. My dropped my 3Gs several times over the last two years, only breaking the screen once which was easily replaced. I feel like if I drop this phone it will crumple.
    Overall the iPhone 4 has been a low performing fragile phone. The yellow spots really top it all for me. The quality is not Apple, and this recent update wasn't revolutionary(it doesn't change the way we compute), its cosmetic & merely the old OS in a better looking body with some superficial new features.
    Again, I am a proud life long Apple owner. But this is the first time I have been very disappointed by their products.

  • Dissatisfied...can I return my nano?

    Hi everyone,
    I bought an iPod nano a little while back but it seemed to be having problems with the battery. I sent mine in for repairs and got a replacement. The replacement actually has the same problem too and I don't want the nano anymore. There's no point in giving it in for repairs because another replacement will probably have the same problem.
    I am still within one year of purchase so therefore my warranty should apply right? Can I return my nano to Apple for a full refund? I was looking all over the Apple website but could not find a service where I could return my iPod instead of repairing it.

    Honestly, the nano is a great player for kids. I assume you bought the new 2nd generation nanos. The problem is, like most new released products the people that buy them in the initial release months tend to be the ones that deal with the bugs that will mostly likely exist. At this time you get the double whammy of a new/upgrade product release AND a new iTunes...double the opportunity for bugs that us early purchasers get the "joy" of experiencing. Like the poster before me mentioned, it might be a good idea to post in another thread or start a new one that specifically explains the problem. There could be a fix that one of the many regulars on here can provide you that would make it so that your kids can truly enjoy their new players. If you are not really interested in that avenue though then I would say that any replacement (I assume you mean a player made by another company) that you choose for your kids should be one that is a flash player (not a hard drive) as it can handle the active lives of kids. Sorry, I can't suggest any brands because I am a generally happy iPod owner for several years and don't know much about other players through personal use. I know other people that have used other brands and there is the even mix of unhappy and happy people....just like with any product.
    Good luck with whatever you choose.

  • Can I return a Macbook air and get another one just after a day I bought it?

    I just purchased a Macbook air 11" for someone today and aparentley he wanted a 13' so I made a mistake!!!! But I have opened the box and used the mac for an hour before I was told that they really wanted a 13". so can i return the notebook and buy a 13"??

    Bearing in mind that a retailer would be giving a full refund of the purchase price and end up with a return that cannot be resold as new, and thus full price, a return of this kind is at the retailer's discretion. It therefore depends on the policy of the company or store that you bought it from since even in locations where there are good consumer protections, there is little to force a retailer into accepting the return of an item that the purchaser bought in their own error. That many do so is a consession to good customer relations than anything else.

  • Can I return my MacBook Air past the return date?

    Hi, I have a question that I've been googling but I haven't been able to find an answer to anywhere. Can I return a MacBook Air past the return date to an Apple store if it is still in shrink-wrap and I have a receipt? Thanks.

    I would think you cannot return a product after the return date has passed.
    Call the Apple Store and ask them.

  • Can i return my nexus 7 it keeps restarting but i bought it 9 months ago

    so i bought a nexus 7 about 9 months ago i was excited to own my first tablet so i ignored the restarting in the beginning i figured google should send a patch of some sort but till this day it actually got worse i have a receipt its a really faded but i have it i also have the box.
    So main question can i return it?

    Hey mark79,
    Welcome to the BestBuy forums! You ask a great question. avm5689 has answered most of it and gave you the information you needed.
    Just for further assistance I am going to link you to the troubleshooting/helpful tip area for nexus 7 tablets
    https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/4582729?hl=en
    You may also join the Nexus Google Forums and ask there for further assistance.
    https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/nexus
    Just curious, is this restarting constantly, or only when you do a certain item ( such as updating )
    Are you able to boot your device into safe mode?
    Ensure your device's screen is on, then press & hold the Power button.
    Touch & hold the Power off option in the dialog box.
    Touch OK in the following dialog to start safe mode.
    Does the problem persist while in safe mode?
    A good piece of advice though is that there are some 3rd party apps that really mess up the nexus operating system so just a FYI.
    If this only restarts while the wifi is in 5ghz that is a well known issue as well.

  • Can I return my opened iPad?l

    Hi,
    I have recieved an iPad for my birthday, but have not yet opened it.
    If I do open it, and deciede I do not want it, can I return it to the Apple store?
    I did _not_ buy it from the Apple store, but from autharised Apple reseller.

    It needs to go back to where it was purchased from. And unless the gift giver gave you a gift receipt, all you may get is store credit. Especially when they're talking aobut handing over at least 500 dollars.
    Just bear in mind, as soon as you break that shrink wrap then you - depending on the store - can end up paying a 15% 'restocking fee'.  If the plastic is intact they can sell it as new, if it's been broken they have to send it back to be refurbished, hence the fee.
