Friend bars in Apple Stores UK ?

I read about the new Friend bars in Apple stores in the U.S and I think it is a great idea. Is there any information about applying the same concept in the UK?

You should Google what your read. It's a sarcastic joke... http://www.tuaw.com/2010/07/08/the-onion-apple-announces-friend-bar/

What is it you need - Windows installer disc or something else? Your question is unclear. Could you be more specific?

The iPhone comes with a 1 year warranty.
This covers defects but not accidental damage.

Open iTunes on the computer. Without any iPhone plugged in, go to iTunes' menu and do Store > Sign Out.
The click the iTunes Store row on the left of the iTunes display. You can then sign on from the signon row on the right side of the display using the correct Apple ID and password. Then you'll be all set!

I did every step including reinstall intunes to get my IPod touch to sych with intunes and not show up as a camera and nothing works. I even updated the device drivers. Genius bar at apple store told me the ipod was fine, the problem was my intunes. Help

I did every step including reinstall intunes to get my IPod touch to sych with Itunes but it fail to recognize it as anything other than a camera. It still recognize my Ishuffle as a device. The Genius bar as an Apple store told me the Ipod worked on their Apple PC, my pc is not an apple, I attemped every step to rectify the situation including updating the device drivers. I wonder if I need to eliminate every old residue with the word Apple in it on my computer to get it up and going again. Please help !

If not this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
Also heating sometimes works. See:
Why can't I select my wifi settings?
A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Then:
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? See other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Lamentela Genius Bar Apple store di orio center

Vorrei segnalare un grave disservizio avuto presso l'apple store del centro commerciale "ORIOCENTER"
Meno di un anno fà, per la precisione il 26/07/2012, acquistavo presso un negozio della catena "marco polo" un iPhone 4S 16 gb bianco come regalo di compleanno per mia moglie; (e terzo iPhone da me acquistato oltre ad un iPad) tengo a precisare che al momento dell'acquisto la confezione era sigillata con la apposita pellicola trasparente, ed al momento dell'apertura della confezione il telefono si trovava avvolto nella pellicola per proteggere sia il fronte che il retro come da tradizione Apple.
Dopo nove mesi circa di utilizzo immacolato da parte di mia moglie, il dispositivo cominciava ad avere due problemi; il primo presumibilmente di batteria, in quanto, quando l'indicatore di carica si trovava circa al 10% il telefono si spegneva improvvisamente anche in semplice modalità home ( senza app aperte in background) ed il secondo consisteva nello spegnimento totale del display alla fine di una chiamata e per riattivarlo, si doveva per forza eseguire il riavvio del telefono ( tasto accensione + tasto home)
Dato che questo problema perseverava nel tempo, prendevo appuntamento al Genius Bar dell'apple store sito presso il centro commerciale "orio center" a Bergamo il giorno 28/06/2013.
Giunto presso il negozio, insieme a mia moglie, prendevo contatto con il tecnico di Apple e gli illustravo il problema del dispositivo, dopo aver eseguito la diagnosi, lo stesso mi informava che in effetti la batteria risultava essere difettosa e che dunque me l'avrebbe sostituita.
Dato che in precedenza, per un problema pressoché analogo il mio iPad era stato sostituito per intero, richiedevo al tecnico, a solo titolo informativo, come mai mi veniva sostituita solamente la batteria e non tutto il telefono, lo stesso mi diceva che preferivano sostituire la batteria in quanto se avessero dovuto sostituire l'intero telefono, io avrei prima dovuto contattare marco polo (effettivo rivenditore del telefono) per chiedere l'autorizzazione alla sostituzione in quanto in alcuni casi di sostituzione di dispositivi durante il primo anno di garanzia da parte di Apple, i rivenditori facevano decadere il secondo anno di garanzia. (Cosa che a mio riguardo sembrava completamente assurda).
Dopo aver fatto firmare a mia moglie l'autorizzazione alla riparazione del telefono, il tecnico ci informava che l'intervento di sostituzione della batteria sarebbe durato una mezz'ora circa.
Dopo una quarantina di minuti ritornavamo all'apple store per il ritiro del telefono, ma contattato il tecnico, lo stesso mi riferiva che non era stato possibile sostituire la batteria in quanto dopo aver aperto il dispositivo dichiarava a (a suo dire) che alcuni componenti non erano conformi agli originali e che mancava un sigillo.
Dopo questa affermazione a dir poco ASSURDA chiedevo che mi fossero fatti visionare questi componenti non conformi e questo famoso sigillo mancante, per poi così procedere legalmente nei confronti del rivenditore; il tecnico con aria arrogante e sarcastica mi diceva che non poteva entrare nello specifico e che nella email che mi aveva inviato era certificato che il telefono non era idoneo alla riparazione in quanto manomesso.
Alterato dalla situazione richiedevo se fosse stato possibile pagare l'intervento ( 68.00 euro circa) per così almeno avere il telefono funzionante ed anche a questa richiesta il "gentile" tecnico mi rispondeva che non era possibile.
Mi recavo dunque, lo stesso giorno, all'apple store del centro commerciale "il leone" a Lonato del Garda, ovviamente dopo aver preso appuntamento, ed illustrato lo stesso identico problema, il tecnico, visionato il telefono, ed aver eseguito allo stesso modo la diagnosi, senza problemi mi sostituiva completamente il telefono in garanzia.
Penso che un marchio eccellente come Apple, che come punto di forza vanta senza dubbio un'assistenza inequiparabile ad ogni altro marchio concorrente non si possa permettere di avere dipendenti che, oltre che dichiarare cose non vere, come che in questo caso il telefono era stato aperto da personale non autorizzato che aveva sostituito componenti, trattano il cliente come un incompetente con aria arrogante, anche perché un cliente medio di Apple sborsa per un iPhone circa 700 euro.

Anche io vorrei segnalare l'atteggiamento scorbutico e arrogante di un operatore del centro apple di Orio
mi sono recato da loro per un iphone5 che non riuscivo a resettare, ho chiesto di collegare il telefono al pc
mi è stato detto che il telefono era bagnato ed era inutile collegarlo ma poteva essere solo sostituito.
Al di la del fatto che non mi risulta nel modo più assoluto di aver bagnato il telefono, avendo bisogno del telefono ho dovuto pagare e sostituirlo
quello che mi ha fatto arrabbiare è l'atteggiamento indisponente dell'operatore che al mio diniego per il suo rifiuto nel voler collegare il telefono al pc
se ne è andato demandando ad un menager l'intervento che a sua volta ci ha passato ad un terzo per la sostituzione
sostenendo che loro sanno fare il loro lavoro !
non mi dilungo oltre ma ho trovato l'operatore molto stupido, saccente e non degno del marchio che rappresenta
bastava avere la pazienza di collegare il telefono al pc e dimostrarmi quello che asseriva
ho un'azienda grafica da 25 anni, uso solo Apple,
anche io mi sono sentito trattato come un incompetente con aria arrogante da uno stupido saputello.

HT1391 A friend lost her iphone 4S, but she didnt download find phone, which she thought find phone was already in iphone 4S, during purchased. Now I can't help her to track iPhone & nobody Apple store in Msia, was able to help us.

Dear Apple Customer Support,
Last year A friend purchase a iPhone 4S - 32GB White.
When she purchase iPhone 4S, didnt realised she need to download Find Phone, has she thought it was already in iPhone 4S, system. I approved lots Apple Store in Malaysia, non could help me and all said the same, if you don't download Find Phone, there's no way you can trace it back. No doubt what they all had said is not wrong....but my heart said, am sure there's always a way to track or trace it back even without the Find Phone Apps. Knowing myself don't have such powerful system to find the phone back. Every Poison there's Anti-Dos for it. I know you have the power and system to track & trace the phone back by Apple. If Apple can build such powerful smart phone am sure there's always a way for you there to trace or track it. I had seem movies which even show but not many able to see the hidden message in movie or etc. All my wish was to least Delete or JAM the system by using the serial number or code which you produce in every iPhone 4S or etc. Least the person who took it, would not able to used it at all even if they wannt jail break it or does anything to iPhone 4S. Least they could do is either throw it away or return to Apple Store in individual country. I know what am asking might be impossible to asked, but its the impossible which its not impossible.
1st: Why build a system which so smart with all serial no and codes, but the "Find Phone" its not one of the Apps for iPhone?
2nd: Why must customer need to download "Find Phone" Apps and the rest of the Apple Apps in inside the Phone...? Doesn't make sense....
3rd: In any movie, you watched they will break the phone or throw it away and so they are not able to trace the person but the phone still can be trace or track...unless the person break the chips or put into Fire to destroy it completely, then YES, i believe it can't be trace or track.
Please kindly in your power to help or advice or bring this up to Apple Team Mind before all perfection to make iPhone....Metta
Sincerely,
GQ

My early 2011 MBP 13" does not recognize my Sandisk 16GB 45MB/s Extreme Pro SDHC card. I went to the Genius Bar and we tried it in all the MacBook Pro's in the Apple Store and NONE could recognize the card. However, iMacs did. Any suggestions?

Can a friend bring in my laptop for repair to an apple store?

Hi I am an American living in Italy. I have a friend who's going into NYC and I wanted to know if he could take my macbook into for repair with my warranty? Does he need to bring my ID or a signed approval?
Thanks

My suggestion would be to have your friemd ask what ID is required when he calls the store for the appointment to deliver the MB.
I know when I took an iMac in for a friend, I asked and the Apple Store I was taking it to said that there was no problem.

How can I purchase Lion from Apple store? Options available are "send to friend" or "copy link"

I cannot make purchases from the Apple store. I want to upgrade to LION, but the only options I see are "Send to friend" or "Copy link".
I do not see any place to sign in--I may be blind--but the site isn't user friendly enough for me to find the sign in area.
Any suggestions as to where it may be or other options to be able to purchase from Apple?

Also you are posting in an iMac forum, you indicate you have a MacBook Pro. While I'm sure the others have provided correct solutions it's important to post in the correct forum too.

I have geofences set in the Apple Store app and Find my Friends and I can't clear either one of them. Is there a way to do this??

What evidence do you have that you cannot clear these?
Have you tried turning them off in Settings > Privacy > Location Services?

These are user to user technical assistance forums, and nobody here represents Apple or any store. In order to find out whether you can buy something at a particular store, you really need to find some way to contact the store directly.
