Does Apple allow Franchise Apple stores?  (Barbados, West Indies)

I have a question.
Does Apple allow persons to work with them to open a store as a Franchise?
In the former British West Indies region we could really use an Apple store, especially here in Barbados. (I know Apple does not like the unlocked iPhones) but they were selling like hotcakes after people were able to got them working on our Digicel or bMobile carriers.
Anyway, Microsoft has started to become very chummy with the Barbados Government and I feel the time could be right for some competition in this right. Microsoft has since announced the Caribbean as a whole is a very profitable region for them and Paul Allen has even brought his yacht the "Octopus" down here a few times.
The Barbados Government has a computers programme for school age children it is completely Microsoft geared currently but again I think there could be stand to be at least some Apple machines.
The Barbados government programme is called Edutech 2000.

The capital city Bridgetown would probably be the best spot on the island. Among schools colleges and universities include the Barbados campus of the University of the West Indies ( http://cavehill.uwi.edu/ ), the Barbados Community College ( http://www.bcc.edu.bb/) + The Samuel Jackson Prescod Polytechnic ( http://www.sjpp.edu.bb/ )

Apple Stores are not franchised, they're owned by Apple, Inc., but general information on becoming an authorized Apple reseller, consultant or service provider (including in the Caribbean) is here:

  • If my mini ipad screen is broken does apple store fix it under the warenty?

    IF my mini iPad is broken, does apple store fix it under warranty?

    If in some extremely unlikely event the screen cracked on it's own, and you could prove that it happened that way, it would be covered under the warranty. However, you would have to have a very compelling case and great evidence that the screen cracked due to a manufacturers defect.

    how much does apple store charge for unlock iphone by online

    Apple does NOT unlock iPhones. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Fees and requirements vary by carrier.
    You can find a list of supported carriers here along with details as to which ones offer unlocking and links to their support websites.

  • How long does Apple store text messages?  I need old messages from July-Sept 2011

    How long does apple store text messages.  I need old text messages from July - September 2011.  These messages were NOT deleted from phone.  I can only go back as far as July 1, 2012.  Please help, this is important!!!

    Thank you!!!
    What I concluded is that the phone information (with text message content) that we have came from the police department...when they conducted interviews, they asked for their phones and obtained the content, pictures, etc. that way. We also have logs from AT&T with information starting a few months prior to the incident; this information, however, is solely limited to who sent, who received, when, type of data, etc - NO content. I'm assuming that those are the logs that can be subpoenaed after the alloted amount of time, say, 10 days.
    Does that sound correct?

    Your warranty is only good in the US where you bought the phone. You will need to contact Apple Support in the US to arrange to return your phone to the US for repair. You should also inquire as to whether they will be able to return the phone to you in India.

  • I need to replace macbook 2009 disc does apple store do it?

    I upgraded to Maverick and had lots of the same problems other people have had. However, I was able to fix most of them -- except my Samsung monitor doesn't seem to want to connect anymore, I see the spiral of death way too often, my computer is freezing, etc. SO I think the real issue may well be that my disc is failing. Has anyone had to replace their discs. Did the Apple store do it? There's a good place in Evanston that I can go to tomorrow for help. I have an appt at an Apple store today to learn about Maverick. But it would be really good if I had the right questions to ask. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    There are a few caveats.  While it is true that there are no viruses currently in the wild that will infect your Mac that you may encounter on a Windows machine simply by visiting certain websites.  That does not mean that you do not need to exercise reasonable care in terms of what you download and install.  If you download programs from torrent sites or other questionable websites and authorize their installation, those programs can contain things just as harmful as you would find on a PC.  I only bring this up becuase the impression is sometimes given that a Mac "can't" be infected by a virus or malware which can lead people to believe they can do whatever they want without fear of consequences. 
    Also... if you share files with Windows users, it is possible that you can receive an infected file (which can't infect your Mac) and pass it on to other Windows users.
    Basically, if you don't download questionable material, your Mac will be fine.  If you share files with Windows users, you may want to install something to scan those just to make sure you don't pass anything on to anyone else.  The most common Mac antivirus program is ClamXav which is free:

  • Does Apple store replace or send off for repair a deffective iphone?

    Purchased on release day and wifi does not work. I anm going to the apple store today for an appointment. I have restored it. Will they replace it or send it of for repair?
    Thanks

    When the iPhone was first released, there was no refurbished inventory available and if there was a problem within the first 14 days or so after an iPhone was purchased, an exchange at the store was pretty much automatic.
    Now that some time has passed - if the store personnel are unable to repair it, your iPhone will be sent off to AppleCare to be inspected and tested for possible repair or replacement with a new or refurbished iPhone at Apple's discretion depending on inventory on hand - along with a loaner iPhone offered and provided by the store if needed/wanted.
    The Store Manager may have some flexibility in this regard but an exchange with a new iPhone off the shelf at a store is not automatic.

  • Does Apple stores replace cracked screens??

    Please Help!!!!

    Only for iPhone 5.
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • 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.
