Case Refunds? Apple & AT&T Cases only? Come on?

Are they kidding?
After I got my iPhone the AT&T store said there was a problem with the antenna and I should buy a case - BUT because everyone was buying one they were totally sold out (except pink ones - no thank you). They directed me to Best Buy where I purchased a case for $29. Now, Apple is only honoring refunds from Apple and AT&T stores.
That is wrong.
How are they making amends to the rest of us who bought cases elsewhere?
Anyone have any ideas? The only thing I can think of is to take the free case and try to resell or return it???
I have been a HUGE Apple fan since I bought my first Mac years ago - now I feel pretty let down by Apple. It isn't the $29 it is the principle and the message they are sending to their customers..."we only care about SOME of you...."

Apple is only giving a refund for Apple bumpers-not third party cases of any kind.
Get over it.

Is the Midnight Blue Smart Case ONLY for iPad Air 2 ?

Hi,
Is the Apple iPad Air Midnight Blue Smart Case ONLY for iPad Air 2nd generation ?
There is no mention on the box and as this is a gift I received, the sticker on the back which identify the model + price was removed.
I wanted to know whether if the midnight blue color was only for iPad Air 2 or existed also for iPad Air 1 ?
Best regards,
FXR

The Midnight Blue is a new color, specifically for the iPad Air 2

Compatibility is stated for iPad Air 2 only

When I power up my ipad air the apple logo comes up like it should then the lock screen only comes up for a second or less so I can't swipe it fast enough.

When I power up my iPad Air the Apple Logo comes up like it should then the lock screen only comes up for a second or less so I can't swipe it fast enough to get to the home page. The lock screen just disappears. I have to hit the sleep/wake or home button to bring the lock screen back up so I can swipe it. Have others found this situation with the iPad Air. I have an iPad 2 and it does not happen at all. The Apple store checked it out. One rep said to me this is unusual and had a tech check it out and they said this is normal. If the iPad is suppose to be user friendly, why this extra step to get to the lock screen? Are other owners of the iPad Air having the same problem? If so, what have you done to correct it?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

For some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store.

for some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store. my old iphone 4s audio jack was messed up but i just got a new one with my warranty , can anyone help me please.

It doesn't matter what it is in your backup that's causing the problem because you can not selectively restore things from your backup. It's all or nothing.
Set you phone up as a new device and start over.

This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled... this comes up when I go to update Iphoto after installing Yosemite... how do I fix this?

I have resolved this issue with the apple chat support by going to the "purchases" tab in the app store - where there was a message that I had to accept updates for the apps that wouldn't update. Once I did this, signing in for each of them, they all updated just fine.

Sound from Apple Earpods only comes from the side speakers?

**** i normally sometimes use my Apple Earpods but today i have realised that the sound only comes from the side speakers, i've cleaned the other speakers however that doesn't help

There is only one speaker for each ear. See here.

Why does my sound only come on sometimes when i get to the log in screen for World of Warcraft?

Product: HP Pavilion dv9628nr
Operating system: Vista
Error Message: (i dont know if it is an error message) "No Audio Output Device Installed"
All I did was play the latest content for World of Warcraft (Patch 4.3). I hit the mute button and it turned red. I hit "exit" and "exit now" after i was done playing and it took a long time to exit. After it was back to the very familiar screen with all the icons the sound was gone. The mute button was blue after a restart, then it started saying i didn't have a sound card when i tried looking for it. The next day i turn on my laptop and and the mute button is red when it's starting up. After it was done I unmute it and sound worked fine, but for a while. After that the sound only comes back on a few rare occasions when i get to the login screen of world of warcraft. Then after a while of walking around doing nothing, the sound is gone again, but the mixer is still there (the mixer disappears after i restart). It also doesn't let me successfully uninstall the sound driver. I restart and go to reinstall the driver on the website, but during the download it says that it's already installed and if i want to overwrite, when i hit "yes to all" the lap top beeps LOUDLY, and says the installation failed because it didn't find the device. What's going on?

The boot ROM is static unless Apple issues a firmware update. I just checked and they never released any such updates for the eMac. Without a firmware update available, I know of no way to overwrite the current version.
What did the serial number check show? Don;t post your serial number, just whether it fell within one of those ranges.
The logic board issue was specifically bad capacitors. Look at some of the pic posted here:
http://picasaweb.google.com/gdegagne/EMacCapacitorReplacement#
Open your RAM door on the case bottom and look inside. The third picture in the web site is the view with that door open. You can see only two of several possible bad caps through the RAM door but, if those two are leaking brown goo like those in the image, I think you will have found your problem.
I just realized you are in Tacoma. That makes the closing of the repair place I mentioned all the more sad, as your shipping costs to Eugene OR would be much less than for an eMac owner living several states away. Heck, you could have driven it to Eugene!
Really, I'm not in the habit of preaching 'gloom and doom' but, in your case, we need to deal with the logic board issue first to be able to provide you with worthwhile help should your computer not have the "bad cap" problem. If bad caps are the problem, there is not much we can offer other than to refer you to Google to search for self-repair instructions, or to Apple Customer Relations (1-800-767-2775) to consult regarding a Repair Extension Program that was apparently shut off too early.

Why do ipods come in many awesome colors and iphones only come in black and white?

Why do ipods come in many awesome colors and iphones only come in black and white?

The only answer is because that's what Apple decided. No one here knows any more than that.
You should put a case on it anyway so buy one in the color you want.

TS2845 Receiving Your Apple TV is not authorized to play this content when trying to Air PLay from IPAD 2 to the apple TV. This only applied to renting a movie.

Receiving Your Apple TV is not authorized to play this content when trying to Air PLay from IPAD 2 to the apple TV. This only applied to renting a movie.

I get the same error on some video content (specifically from the iTunes Library on my Mac). Netflix is fine. Movie previews are fine. I didn't rent/buy anything since this issue came up. I reset the AppleTV (20 minutes of re-entering everything). I am going to try another HDMI cable but the error does not say HDCP as shown in other google searches regarding this issue ( http://www.tuaw.com/2010/10/05/hdcp-may-spoil-your-apple-tv-fun/ ).
Was able to play movies rented from the Mac a few weeks ago
Have not tried to re-authorize
AppleTV does not show under devices in iTunes - but I don't ever remember seeing it before
AirPlay'd movie from iPad1 - sound came thru no video (luckily I had a iPad to HDMI cable that was in my work case that worked otherwise movie night with the family would have been tragic)
I'm interested to learn how to fix this without having to waste 30 minutes fooling with three devices, four different wire configs, and a few swear words all while people sit on the couch and laugh at my earlier pronouncements of Apple being the best.

Is there any kind of Apple Company policy that Apple's iPhone can only be repair or service at the place from where the iPhone have bought?

Hello,
I'm Chintan from India. I have visited UK for study and brought iPhone 5 for me. I used it for about 16 days and now its started showing the problem of coverage. I mean, it shows "NO SERVICE" at the place of carrier name and tower symbol.
My query:
Do Apple have this kind of worthless service provider policy?
I have visited the local authorized service center and they are not accepting my iPhone 5 and telling me that they can not accept it for repair or service because I have brought it from UK. I have checked my iPhone 5 status on the Apple Site and it is showing full cover of Repair and Service, then why the local Apple Authorized Service Center is not accepting my iPhone 5?
Is there any kind of Apple Company policy that Apple's iPhone can only be repair or service at the place from where the iPhone have bought?
Kindly help me out as I'm stuck with the so called APPLE IPHONE 5.
Looking for the POSITIVE, SUPPORTIVE and HELPFUL reply.
Thank You

You should have read the warranty/support terms before you made your purchase. Had you, you would have found that iPhone warranty/support is only valid in the country of original purchase(except for the EU where warranty/support is EU wide). In your case, your warranty/support is only valid in the EU, as you have now found out...after your purchase. And, you are correct, they will not service the phone in India.
Always been this way with the iPhone.

I bought new apple tv but it only shows Computers and Settings. how can I bring up other options, specially Youtube?

I bought new apple tv but it only shows Computers and Settings. how can I bring up other options, specially Youtube?

Alright, I found the issue. This is how I have resolved my issue. I hope it will help you.
1. This issue could happen, if your apple TV doesnt have internet, connectivity to iTunes servers, or you haven't logged in to iTunes account in your apple TV
2. Test the network on apple tv - General - settings - network - test network, Try to aviod using wifi use LAN cable, since we are trying to fix the issue.
3. Set your exact location manually - Which city you are in from settings-General - Time Zone- choose your City currently you are in.
4. Login to iTunes account - settings- iTunes Store- set your default store - for example I am in Mongolia but using my New Zealand account on Apple TV, in our case my Apple TV iTunes account location is New Zeland.
5. If you are facing any issues to login to your iTunes account, That explains you have an issue with connectivity back to iTune servers, or sometimes it could be apple iTune servers may have problems. To verify which is one is the problem login to your itunes on your laptop or desktop for testing purposes, make sure you are using the same internet connection as your home apple TV is using.
6. if you are able to login you should able to see all the available channels and full list on Apple TV.
All the best..I just saved USD 29.00 but spend 5 hours...LOL..Its ok..its my Holiday spend with Apple TV.

Apple TV YouTube app only shows limited amount of videos on subscribed channels

I noticed that when using the YouTube app on the Apple TV 3 I only get a small selection of videos to watch on subscribed YouTube channels. Not sure if this is due to a limitation or a setting that I didn't check but it's rather annoying.
My workaround at the moment is to use Airplay to watch the videos that aren't showing up. Shouldn't have to do this in my honest opinion.
Really want to know if this is normal or something that I can fix.
Thanks.

youtube works that way
it's a place where users like you can me get to upload videos
youtube remove things they find inappropriate but they can only review soo many a min
use the parental setting to block youtube case solved
better block it on computers too because it's the same deal

You can turn iMessage off on your iPhone. That's relatively easy. Since iMessage is an Apple product/service, I have no idea how a Samsung phone will deal with an incoming one. For that answer you should probably contact Samsung support.
