Doesn't seem right to put IPhone pre-orders at the back of the line

Apple has the phones, seems like they SHOULD feel the first orders first. NOT very good customer support to put your early orders last.

Like any distribution system anywhere, stock is allocated to various outlets to ensure everywhere gets at least some stock. You clearly have no understanding whatsoever of distribution.
Apple cannot produce enough iPhones to satisfy all of launch days demand, so they have to share out the available iPhones between outlets.
So, there may be 3m iPhones allocated to the online store in the US, 3m iPhones allocated to the physical stores in the US, and other amounts for each country the iPhone is launching in.
You can choose whether to buy online or in-store. However, in both cases, once the allocated stock is gone, it is gone. Why should customers who choose to queue up and buy in-store have stock taken away from them, reducing their chances, just to fulfill your choice of buying online?
Both online and in-store have their advantages and disadvantages. You make the choice.

HT3702 Why can't I download my already purchased music and other files from iCloud, even though I owe money to iTunes for my most recent purchases. Doesn't seem right that they keep me from accessing those files which I've already paid for!

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

I'm wondering if anyone has noticed frequent crashing of apps that never crashed before, error messages in their internet connections, and anything else that just doesn't seem right?

I am not able to upload or download any apps. This has just happened since the 3rd of this month.

The iPad does not upload apps.
If you're having problems purchasing or downloading apps using the App Store app tell us what exactly happens when you attempt to purchase an app and what, if any, error messages to your get.

Something doesn't seem right with start-up

Maybe I'm going mad but something doesn't seem right. When I start-up I get the usual chime, the power light comes on, I hear the drive whir a bit, the fans have a quick blow and the I get a black screen for about 30 seconds. After this the light goes out & the screen turns grey, then I get the grey sceen + apple and the 'wheel thing' followed by the blue screen and normal start-up. Perhaps this is normal, but I'm sure I never used to get the 30 second delay with the black screen and I used to go straight to grey if you see what I mean. Am I going mad or is the delay unusual??

I know it's bad form to reply to your own post but thought someone might be interested to hear how I've sorted this one out. Thought I'd try starting up in safe mode and running FSCK, but having never done this before wasn't quite sure what to expect! When it started up I just got page after page of 'techno-jargon' which didn't look good - especially when every line seem to have the word error in it - can't remember exactly what it said but each line had something with USB along with numbers and letters and an error message (yes - I know this isn't very clear but the memory's beginning to fail). Anyway because this wasn't looking too good I decided to reboot and unplug everything from my USB ports (including a 7 port USB 2 hub) and restart. Lo and behold problem sorted. Then plugged it back in again and tried again - back to original problem. However noticed that the LED on my graphics tablet wasn't lighting up so unplugged that from the hub, reinstalled the drivers and tried again. Now everything seems to be back to normal. The black screen on start-up lasts just a couple of seconds and we're back to the normal start-up time. Weird, but at least I can now sleep easy!

Will Apple be doing Verizon iPhone pre-orders on 2/3??

I know Verizon will be doing the pre-order on 2/3, but I have a large Apple gift card to use. So my question is will Apple be doing Verizon iPhone pre-orders on 2/3 as well? I couldn't find the answer to this anywhere. Thanks guys.

Based on this link, you will be able to.

Is it possible that my refurbished iphone 5 could have a different IMEI to the original one printed on the back of the phone?

I found an iPhone with the same type of scratch marks as mine being sold ten minutes away from my house on eBay. I had lost it in the area previously. It had all the same specs, colour, is locked to my network and is blocked as I did with mine after reporting it. The police confiscated it as a stolen phone anyway, but I haven't been able to prove its mine, as the number on my box doesn't match the IMEI on the phone. So of course it's either a big coincidence or it is my phone and the number the police referenced from it (from the back of the phone) is not the number the phone now goes by. Is this possible at all?
The IMEI I have for the phone is 01****033
It's a black 16gb iPhone 5 refurbished by and locked to three
Would really appreciate any help.
Cheers,
Michael

If you sent the iPhone to Apple to be refurbished, then the iPhone you received back is very likely NOT the phone you sent. Check the paperwork that came with the refurbished unit.

What are the spots that are appearing on the back of the iphone 5s?

I have had the iphone 5s since launch day. about a week in i started to notice little white dots on the back of the phone. ( i have been using a bumber case with a clear back) the white dots are mostly on the bottom part of the iphone on the black section. some of the dots have showed up near the apple emblem. i have taken a scribe and carefully tried to scrape it and some of it comes off but its back within a few days. Does anybody know what this could be?

UPDATE:
I have four accounts on my MacPro (which hosts the server). Server/Local/Basic Administrator and Dummy Acc (SA, LA, BA and DA respectively). Only SA and DA are in the OD (as per standard server setup assistant); LA and BA are on the local account of the computer, not the server's OD.
When I login with and of the SA, LA or BA users locally, or SA remotely evrything appears as it should. It is only when I log in with DA, which is fully managed within WGM (Finder, Dock, Apps), that I get odd behaviour.
DA behaves as expected on client Macs but the Dock management settings, at least, don't appear to work when logged in on the local server machine.
Once I have logged in as DA on any machine (and then logged out or not) and then log in with any of the Administrator accounts I get this Boot OSX harddrives appearing, as previously described.
The Boot HDs then seem to no l;onger appear after some unspecified period of time with the server logged out of by all accounts.
None of this affects the performance (as much as I can tell).
Any thoughts? Is the Boot OSX some NetBoot type thing (which I haven't touched). Why is this behaviour associated with this dumb account?
Many thanks,
Francis.

I have pre-ordered a few songs over the last few months

I have pre-ordered a few songs over the last few months like most people. I have checked for new downloads within the itunes store but nothing shows up. I've got the emailed links & have clicked on them, when it opens into itunes I am asked more than once to imput my card details as a billing info screen pops up. Now there is enough cash in the account to pay for these songs. I do not understand what is going on & I am getting rather frustrated by this! I've emailed apple but didnt seem to help me much last time! Anyone got any idea what i could do before i end up crying!
Thanks

I purchased an audiobook from iTunes On my iPhone. I got a new phone and after the back up, the books I downloaded were not there. iTunes wants me to repurchase the books I downloaded. Is there a way for me to Redon load my already purchased books?

Hi..
On your new iPhone tap Settings > Store.
Make sure Books is turned ON.
You shouldn't need to re purchase the book > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT204269 I can't find MobileSync/Backup/ in the Application Support folder in Library, I'm trying to find my phone back up from a few days ago before I bought my new iPhone, but when I searched on iTunes backup it has been replaced by the back up the day

I'm trying to find my phone back up from a few days ago before I bought my new iPhone, but when I searched on iTunes backup it has been replaced by the back up the day after that. Now all my data from my old phone is lost including some really important things. Also before that iTunes wouldn't let me sync my iPhone 5s data to my new iPhone 6 Plus, saying that the data is corrupt, that's where all this trouble started. I've been trying to back-up the old phones data so I can access it, but it's been replaced when ever I plug the new phone in, and no the 'sync automatically when connected' is not ticked. Please help me find my back ups.

Your iCoud account remains in iCloud even if your device is restored. (In fact, you can't delete an iCloud account from iCloud, you can only choose to stop using it.) If the device is restored, or it may no longer be signed into your iCloud account but your account will still exist in iCloud.

When I cull through my images in the filmstrip everytime I use my right arrow and rate a photo it jumps back to the first thumbnail and i have to arrow all the way back to where I left off. Is this a setting issue

Art,
I am trying to follow your very precise steps, and in my case (PSE11 also, Win7), the focus stays on the edited picture after I return from the editor to the Organizer. I am pretty sure that in the previous post describing your situation, I was able to reproduce the problem, but I don't remember on which version. I just tried in 'Folders' view mode to edit in a selected folder, then I clicked 'All media' so that no folder was selected. Same result in both cases.
Even if you prefer to work in folders view, you could take advantage of the ability to use 'albums'. It's a misleading word to describe a selection, a 'collection' of pictures, which you can sort as you want. It's a kind of 'playlist' like with music items. In the organizer, you can select a folder and create an album (even a temporary one) just by choosing 'create instant album'. Suppose you have made an album from a folder or a selection of highlighted pictures to edit. You can order them in date order, import batch or 'custom' order'. Since PSE12 you can also sort them in filename order. You should never lose the 'focus' on your last edited picture when coming back from the editor to the organizer. If the purpose of that album is only to help in organizing an editing session, you simply delete the album (the playlist) if you don't want to keep the list afterward.
I hope someone will be able to confirm how that can happen...
Edit;
I have just read Brian's post.
That may be the difference...

Every time i sync in my music in my iphone 5 it would have to back up my iphone and every time i back up the loading bar would freeze then my itunes with crash pls help my iphone 5 coat a lot from my savings

Syncing requires a backup as part of the sync process.
Delete any existing backups in iTunes under Edit > Preferences > Devices (or simply move them to a different folder on the computer) then try a backup or sync.
