Do Apple Stores stock upgraded MB Pro's?

Hey I was wondering of anyone knows about an Apple Store which stocks an upgraded MacBook Pro.
I'm after the 15" i7 with the 7200 rpm HDD and Hi Res glossy display upgrade.
But a friend of mine ordered the exact same spec online yesterday and the estimated shipping date is 20th Sept and delivery date of 27th.
I know they have to build it first then ship it from China, but that's way too long.
So does anyone know if any Apple Store stock upgraded models at all or offer a hard drive upgrade in store?

They stock basic configurations of each model. They do not stock models that require online modification. Those are called CTO - Configured To Order  - orders. Those must be ordered online.

  • Do Apple Stores stock the Invisible Shield?

    Im based in the uk, but a friend is heading over to San Fransico next week and im wondering if the apple stores stock the invisible shield or will i have to order from the invisible shield website?
    cheers guys

    Hi there,
    AFAIK the only way to get them is via their website.
    I'm from Germany and have been looking around the last days to find a German or at least European dealer, thinking it might arrive faster. Haven't had any luck though :/
    So, I ordered mine 2 days ago via the website. I'm pretty curious how long it will take to arrive here.
    Cheers from Germany,

  • Do the apple store stock every configuration of Macbook Pro?

    I'm considering buying a 13 inch retina MacBook Pro soon, probably 512GB, and was wondering what configurations apple keep in store? I've noticed that on the apple store you can configure MacBooks to have more RAM ext, and was wondering if all these are stocked in the stores, or would I need to order one online and take it into store? I'm really not the most tech savvy person, so wouldn't be comfortable setting up a new mac and transferring all my data over from my PC, so I'd need to visit a store for s omeone to assist me, and my nearest apple store is 100 miles away so I'd like to know they have the macbook I want! Also if I decide I won't want a configured one, just the normal retina 13 inch 512GB, am I just able to walk into store, buy it and have them move all my files, or do I need to make an appointment? Thanks for your help!
    Probably in the wrong category sorry!

    No, they will have the base models.  Otherwise you will have to order one to match your preferences via the store or online.
    Ciao.

    The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    It is not safe to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
    1a. If you don't own another Mac
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received those media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Some models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you may not be able to reinstall 10.6 even from the original discs, and Internet Recovery may not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
    1b. If you do own another Mac
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    2. Partition and install OS X
    If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In thePartition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
    3. Other issues
    If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information.

  • Do apple stores stock their top spec macbook pros?

    I have been told that apple dont stock the top spec macbook pro with retina display and that you have to order it online to be delivered, however I find it hard to believe that they wouldn't. If anyone could tell me if they do or not that would be great.
    These are the specs:
    2.6GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz
    16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
    512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage
    Backlit Keyboard (British) & User's Guide (English)
    Thanks.

    They stock basic configurations of each model. They do not stock models that require online modification. Those are called CTO - Configured To Order  - orders. Those must be ordered online.

  • Do apple stores stock the quad i5 in the uk?

  • Need help with Apple Store stock

    Hi there!!
    I'll be on a business travel to NY in one month and i'm planning to buy a 15" MBP 2.0 with the Anti-Glare display.
    Probably i'll be buying it on the 5th avenue store, and now i have two choices.
    I'm travelling from Spain, so getting the Western Spanish keyboard is almost mandatory.
    The two choices i've got are:
    1.- I've read the store can swap the keyboard in 1-2 days if needed. So, this would be a great choice not to have any problems with the credit card and the billing address. But i'd need to know if they have computers in the store with the specs (anti-glare) so i can go and buy it on the fly (asking them for a keyboard swapping)
    Does anyone know (or has the chance to know) if they stock the 15" MBP with the Anti-Glare option in any apple store?
    2.- I'll be staying 4-5 days in Florida prior to flying to NY, so i thought of customizing and ordering it throught the Online Apple Store, paying with an apple gift card and have it shipped to my hotel. The apple store states that it will take 6-7 days to have it delivered, so i guess i would be in time before i come back (the trip will take 11 days).
    What do you suggest?
    Is anyone able to help me and check if i could find it with the anti-glare option in the apple store in the 5th avenue?
    Thanks a lot in advance!!!!!

    Thanks " a brody". I know about the spanish customs and about the sales tax in different states.
    The only thing that makes me "nervous" is that i get there and they don't have an anti-glare computer in stock. I've read on several threads that they usually have the anti-glare option in stock in the stores, but just wanted to double check.
    I'm travelling a lot lately from one country to another, so calling is a bit difficult because of time differences.
    Thanks a lot for your help!!!

  • Is it possible for Apple Store to upgrade flash storage of rMBP from 256GB to 512GB?

    If I purchase a rMBP with 256GB flash storage configuration, and later on decide I want to upgrade to 512GB, will the Apple Store be able to do this?

    You can increase flash storage yourself. http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other+World+Computing/SSDAP12R480/. Look around the site for option.
    Be aware that if you do this it may affect your computer warranty.

  • Does Apple stores stock airport card

    Hi all
    I just did not know where else to turn, I have been trying to contact the Apple Store at Meadowhall UK by phone for 2 days to see if they stock the Airport Card, No one is answering the telephone, its about a 30 mile trip, I dont want to go for nothing.
    Mike

    It doesn't matter which wireless router/base station you are uisng, it depends on which Mac you have.
    I have a G4 Duel 1.25
    If it has a FW 800 (FireWire 800) port, it requires the AirPort Extreme card. If not, it requires the original AirPort card.
    I have an iMac G5
    Some iMac G5s have built-in AirPort Extreme. Use System Profiler to see if your iMac G5 has built-in AirPort Extreme. If it does not, it requires the AirPort Extreme card.

  • Transferring contract at an Apple store when upgrading to a new iPhone 4?

    Hi,
    I've reserved an iPhone 4 for pick-up in store and was wondering what the procedure was to change telecom provider. I'm currently with O2 (but out of contract) but may switch to Vodafone if the tariff is better. During the reservation procedure is said you could choose a contract during pick-up but was wondering if I needed to do anything at my end i.e. grab a PACS number?
    TIA

    I doubt all authorized resellers will get the new phone on release date. Your best bet is an AT&T store or an Apple store(reserve ahead on the 15th). If you want this to go smoothly, pre-order on the 15th for pick-up at your Apple store on release date or have it shipped to you.
