Why not do it yourself...
The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Other countries...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

I have a 2007 20" iMac. Can I get a solid state hard drive installed? Can the Apple store do it? How long? What cost?

I have a 2007 20" iMac. Can I get a solid state hard drive installed? Can the Apple store do it? How long? What cost?

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

Can the Apple Store unlock my passcode on iPhone 5c?

Can the Apple Store unlock my iPhone 5c passcode?

No.
Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, Need to Restore Your Device: Alternative Solutions
A
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2.Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
3. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
           1. iPad,iPod,iPod Touch Recovery Mode
           2. About Restrictions (parental controls) on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
If none of the above work for you, then:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

Can the Apple store verify my purchase and warranty by serial number

Can the Apple store verify my purchase and warranty period by serial number ??

Serial number from device could mean it's been sitting in the warehouse for a year before he purchased it can't it?
It could, but all authorized dealers are required to report the sale date and serial number to Apple. That's how Apple knows when a device was sold to set the warranty date; the warranty starts on the day the authorized dealer sells the device to the user, not when the dealer receives the device from Apple.
How would they know his serial number from his device without registering it because I know all the serial numbers show up on my devices but like I said how would the serial number prove that he didn't purchase the device 6 months - 1 year after it left the warehouse or place of purchase.
See my previous response.
Says on website Apple may require a proof of purchase and to keep your receipt.
They may, though usually they don't. But again, the user is not required to register the device with Apple to validate the warranty. In fact, in many countries it is illegal for any manufacturer to require registration before a warranty is honored. The proof of purchase is all that would ever be needed, and again if the device is take directly to Apple that's almost never required.
Regards.

I just bought ipod 5 on ebay and the seller did not know passcode can the apple store fix this problem

i just bought a ipod on ebay and seller does not know passcode if i go to the apple store can they fix my problem?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
The previous owner still has to remove the device from their account in order for you to activate the iPod.

If i am going to buy an iphone from someone, can the apple store check if it does not have an issue?

I want to buy a phone from a friend. He states that it was brand new and there is nothing wrong with the phone's exterior or interior. I still want to check if there is anything else that I could check for. Is it possible that the Apple Store can help me check any problems with the phone? Can they also tell me the carrier of the phone? He states that it is from T-Mobile, but I still want to check.
Thank You.
Sara

If you call Apple with the serial number they can tell you the carrier it is locked to. You can also check the warranty status at: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage and see if it is Activation Locked (a theft deterrent feature) at https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/.
However, if you don't trust the friend perhaps you shouldn't buy it. And reconsider if they really are a friend.

Can the apple stores replace a battery while you wait?

The battery on my MBA - late 2011, has lost it's ability to hold a good charge and I'm looking to replace the battery. If I go to an Apple Store, can they replace the battery while I wait or would it be shipped out for replacement the same as if I took it to a local authorized repair center?

So I was finally able to get through to the store, but they didn't provide any meaningful help - they can't tell me if they can replace the part without a consultation first.
It strikes me as odd, since I can give them the problem I'm having (need a new battery), the serial number (though AppleCare confirmed they have the parts at the store), so I would expect that they could tell me if I drop it off by X they can have the battery replaced the same day.
Honestly this is the first disappointing experience I've had trying to get Apple support for an issue on one of my systems.

Can the Apple Store help me?

I had just bought my iPhone last friday and the bottom left corner makes a creeking noise everytime i push down on it. The other corners are solid but im positive the black antenna on the back must be loose, which is why it makes a noise everytime i apply pressure to that part of the phone. So my real question is can the new apple store in my area do anything, or will i jus have to live with this?
Thank You

If they don't want to help, you can always return it and get a new one

Can the Apple store unlock my passcode for me for my iPhone?? HELP.

I changed my passcode on my iPhone 4 (I don't know if it is CDMA or GSM) and now can’t remember it and after multiple attempts to guess it I have been locked out of my phone (and the phone says “iPhone disabled. Connect to iTunes”). I know how to restore my phone by going through iTunes, however since I did not back it up for many, many months now, I do not want to lose all of my data. When I try to connect it to iTunes it says that my phone cannot connect to iTunes because my phone needs to be unlocked first….I cannot unlock my phone because not only do I not know the passcode, but the keypad to enter in the passcode is no longer visible because the phone has been disabled….therefore since I cannot connect to iTunes I cannot back up my device before I restore it. I know how to restore it, yes, but the issue is not wanting to lose my data because of it since I can't back it up.
My question is: if I bring my iPhone into an Apple store will they be able to either unlock my passcode for me (provided I have identification of ownership i.e. account number and verification) or will they be able to back up my data (then restore it and then put my data back onto my phone)? PLEASE HELP!!!!

It sound like are asking about simply passcode unlocking, not carrier unlocking.
If you have forgotten your passcode, then you will need to restore and you will lose everything that you have failed to store on your computer.
Apple, nor your carrier can do anything about this.
Sorry.

HT201363 Forget the restriction pass code, can the apple store send to me to reopen and change the code?

Can apple store help me to send back the old pass code, then I can change to a new one for safety!
Thanks!

Hello KKchristks,
It sounds like you need to reset your Restrictions passcode. According to the following article, you will need to restore your iPhone as a new device:
iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4213
If you lose or forget your Restrictions passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.
If you are not referring to a Restictions passcode, would you elaborate on the passcode you are attempting to reset?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

Connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.

Can the Apple Store see my Internet history when I go to fix my ipod screen?

I'm going to with my dad to fix my ipod screen but can they see the internet history? I wasn't looking at anything bad, but I accidently clicked it. Can they see my internet history from my ipod on their computer even though I restored it (The IPOD) I just don't want to get in trouble by my parents..

No really if you restored to factory defaults/new iPod since that erases the iPod.
