Got my iPhone $100 credit..

and spent my iPhone $100 credit!
Apple is very smart!

The messed up thing is that I thought I could use the credit on iTunes over time as I buy music, audiobooks, etc., but noooooo, they won't let you use the credit for either iTunes or for the purchase of an iTunes gift card. Truly an empty promise. I purchased all of the needed iPhone accessories (docks, cases, adaptors) before the credit was announced! Now there is nothing else really relevant to buy from the Apple Store (retail or online) if they aren't going to let you use iTunes. I guess I could return the extra dock I bought and then re-buy it with the credit. Now, where is that receipt and packaging?? The only other things they sell for iPhone that I don't have are the crystal film and another one of those silly little adaptors you have to use for a car cassette device all b/c of the recessed jack on the iPhone. It shouldn't be this way, particularly with Apple.

Original iPhone -- $ 100 credit

I bought the original iPhone in July 2007 and received a $ 100 credit when the prices dropped a few months later. I have not yet redeemed the credit. I tried to use it in buying a new 3G S earlier today but didn't see how to use the credit. There is no "redeem by" notice on the credit. Is the $ 100 credit still valid?

You said you hadn't redeemed the credit. If that's correct, then it's too late. If, however, you redeemed the credit but haven't used it, then it should be valid on almost anything in the Apple Store. You'll have to ask about using it on a new iPhone, though.
But again, if you never redeemed the credit, you're out of luck.

IPhone $100 credit?!! and Apple Repair Service Scam!!!

To Steve Jobs, the Apple Board and Customers:
While I am happy that Apple is concerned about their customers, (and I will debade that in a moment), I cannot believe that you (Steve and Apple) went ahead with this move. Are you going to give me a $10 a share credit for the stock I bought at $140 that is now at $130 because of this pricing move and this credit?!! It's the same thing! Are all the iPhone buyers now boo-hooing because they had to buy the iPhone and didn't feel it was worth $599? You do realize that you now have set a precedent for all future pricing cuts at Apple, as everyone that has purchased a system that gets a price cut will slam Apple with email complaining they paid too much, etc. I want a credit for the money I have lost due to the discounting of my stock for this rediculous iPhone price cut. You guys blew it!!
Second problem regards a service problem. My 12" powerbook to a drop off the couch a year ago. Still working fine. Decided to get the bottom aluminum case plate replaced, as it is causing too much pressure on the DC inboard recepticle for the power cord. Took it in and got a $600 cost. Ok, way over-priced, but better than new systm! Sent it out. Less than a week later, I got a call from App,e, saying that the service team that inspected my system needed to also replace the DC inboard (fine) and the Hard Drive. The Hard Drive worked fine at the store before sending it off. I qouted the back of the service agreement stating that any damage of the system in Apple's care is Apple's problem, so replace it, but not at my cost. The Apple rep said that this did not qualify, as the "crashed" hard drive was due to the drop. I explained there was not drive problem until Apple shipped it, so get the cost from the shipper insurance. Apple rep said the cost was mine to bear and they would not proceed with the repairs unless I agreed to replacing the DC inboard and HD at an additional cost of $375 (3 times market cost from local Appple authorized repair facility). I continued to question the HD crash. She stated that the repair facility said it crashed, no longer operational. I said I can get these parts for a much better price, send the unit back as is.
Well, unit came back and is FINE!!!! HD works perfectly!!! Ran a diagnostic (I am a certified Sun Microsystems and HP System and server administrator!!!) on the drive and no sector damage or HW problems from the read/write testing. DC inboard is still functional. Apple sent this to Flextronics International. I say, CHECK YOUR SERVICE PROVIDERS APPLE, AS THEY ARE COMMITTING FRAUD ON THE APPLE CUTOMER BASE AND YOU FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS!!! I am not making this up, I have the documents proving this and my system is working right now as I type this. I hope to hear from someone at Apple to contact me on this issue, as the store and 800-MyApple jst softly skirted the issue with, "I'm sure there is a problem with the hard drive and it was not working at the repair facility. It is just on its last life and just happens to be working now." Are you kidding me?!!! I wonder if the New York Time would be interested in this problem?!!!
I also noticed the service agreement states that all replaced parts will be replaced with either new, reconditioned or USED parts. GREAT!!! They would take my drive out, put it in someone elses "crashed" drive and take their drive and put it in my computer and get a huge markup for nothing but labor!!!
I am glad I no longer own Apple shares, and anyone who does, beware of this and other devaluing business decisions or over-sight lacking of Steve Jobs, the Apple board and company!!
Sincerely,
Eric
Denver, CO.

$100 credit not processing? Tip from iPhone support

Hi,
My wife and I have two iPhones. The $100 credit for my iPhone went through with no problem. But whenever I tried to claim the credit for my wifes phone I got an error message saying "we can't locate a record of your iPhone". I emailed the [email protected] and after a day, got a response telling me they had updated their software and to try again. Still didn't work, so emailed them back. They responded pretty quickly (on a Sunday no less!) telling me to _*try registering my iPhone at http://register.apple.com/, wait for the email confirmation from apple, then try the credit again.*_
Note: This is NOT the same as activating your phone through iTunes. This is the optional product registration site that Apple maintains that lets you register your Apple products. I haven't verified if this works yet, but thought I would pass along the tip.
When we originally ported my wife's phone over, we had some troubles. AT&T got it sorted out after a day or so, but I think what happened was her serial number and phone number weren't correctly associated in the Apple database. Hopefully this will fix it! I'll post an update if it works.
Jim

Update: registering the iPhone at register.apple.com did NOT help my problem. Note that if your iPhone credit goes through the first time, you should NOT need to register the iPhone again since the normal activation process should do it.
I suspect that the problem with my second iPhone and the credit is because we had problems with porting my wifes phone number from our old provider. For the first few days she had a different phone number. This required several calls to AT&T support to fix... and I think Apple probably has her serial number assigned to her ORIGINAL phone number instead of her current phone number. Hopefully will get that sorted out soon.

$100 Credit from original iPhone

I was one of those who bought the original iPhone right when it was released and received the $100 credit when they dropped the price a few months later. I applied for the credit within the time frame given, but now that I want to redeem it I cannot find anyplace to access the credit. I remember printing something out, but that was like 18 months ago... surely that piece of paper can't be the only way to redeem the credit, can it?

Copied from this link.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
+iTunes will also create a backup of settings and certain other information on your iPhone or iPod touch when you sync to use in case you want to restore the software on your iPhone or iPod touch or transfer this information to a different device. *Backup information includes information such as mail settings, text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, sound settings, widget settings, certain network settings, and other preferences.* Applications purchased from the App Store are included in the backup, however they can only be successfully restored to the same device that they were backed up from.+
Contact information and calendar events are not included. I would think contact information would be included with this link since this is important and if included, this is not something you should depend on.

HT4528 My daughter got an iphone. She set up her phone using my apple ID. She deleted all contacts she did not recognize. Now, over 100 of my contacts are gone. Is it possible she deleted them from the cloud and they are gone forever?

My daughter got an iphone. She set up using my apple ID. She deleted all the contacts that appeared on her phone and now they seem to be gone completely. Is it possible that she deleted contacts from the cloud? Are they permanently gone?

The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts. Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

IPhone Eating Credit

Appologies for posting here it does relate to the OS4 and I am in desperate need of some help and advice.
Hi everyone I am in desperate need of some help. I have just got an Iphone 3G and use pay as you go on the Orange Network. I topped up with £15.00 pounds and within 2 days it was down to £3. I had made 4 calls and sent 3 texts. I have read that the iphone eats credit because it is always connecting to the internet is this true? and how do i stop it from continuosly connecting to the internet.
Also I have Enable 3G, Data Roaming switched off but cannot switch the EDGE off. I have read that the new OS4 allows you to turn off the Cell Data I am currently running OS 3.1.3 which is unlocked. What I want to know is it worth downloading the OS4 and turning off the Cell Data and will this stop the Iphone from constantly connecting to the internet and eating my credit.
Sorry if this is long winded but the essence of it is that my Iphone is eating my credit.
Thank You for taking the time to read my post.
Mike

Well why not upgrade? It's not like it's just some minor bug fixes and security patches. You actually get a load of new features. I can't say what the older os is like as iPhone 4 is my first iPhone so I only know iOS 4, but still.

I got a Iphone 4S internet like free(UNLOCK) but is not... This Iphone is lock with Orange (SPAIN) How can I unlock the Iphone now¿?

I got a Iphone 4S internet like free(UNLOCK) but is not... This Iphone is lock with Orange (SPAIN) How can I unlock the Iphone now¿?

"Ok, but Whats happen if the carrier said that I need the first contract personal information.."
Then you need the first contract personal information.
" I Know that all the companys have to unlock de phone... ¿?¿?"
Not true.
"Apple could help me then¿?¿? unlocking the Iphone beacuse Apple always have the last word...
No. Apple has no part in the decision ot lock or unlock at all. Lock/unlock is 100% the decision of the carrier. Apple has nothing to do with this decision.

Previous $100 credit - just online or in-store as well?

For those of you who have used your previous $100 iPhone credit, can you use it at the Apple Store, or is it just online like the 1st generation iPod credits were?

Depending on where the iPhone was purchased, you may be able to
return it for $/credit and then buy the color you prefer. If past the
return window the seller allows, use a case like Briansyddall suggested above.

Original Iphone Store Credit

I have the original iPhone and I just saw something on getting a store credit now, I tried going to the website that I saw but it didn't work. Does anyone know how I can go about getting my store credit??

If you are talking about the $100 credit for early adopters, that offer came and went a long time ago. It was offered in September of last year and you had a few months to apply for it.
"You will need to submit the rebate requests between September 13, 2007 and November 30, 2007"

Just got an iphone 4, now my app store (itunes account) doesn't work...

Like the title states, I just got an iPhone 4 today.
For some reason, my apps don't transfer to my computer when I sync, so I have to re-download everything. No big deal.
One problem, I have to verify my itunes account. It keeps saying my request to verify didn't work any whatnot. I can't use itunes or the app store, period! Any suggestions?
(It wants me to verify my credit card info, which is all correct.)

I understand that after the guy that wanted to promote his books hacked into some itunes accounts they started asking people to verify repeatedly for security reasons. They are trying to step up their security. It does it when I access from my phone but not when I sync up through my computer anymore.

When i first got my iphone i plugged it into my friend's computer and songs on from itunes. Now it will not show up in the side bar when i plug it into my computer. I have already tried 'authorizing this computer'. What can i do?

Is your iTunes up to date, it is now 10.7, click the iTunes button at the top of this page if you need the new version.
