Has anyone received MBP C2D 17"?

Has anyone received or at least seen MBP C2D 17"? I called apple store in London and they told me that there is another delay and I should try it in 7 days. Does anyone know what is going on?

How else
would you explain that 15" is here for awhile while
17" is not. Not even for a display purposes.
Something is suspicious here :))
it doesn't seem that strange to me. retooling an assembly line to produce a few hundred models for display purposes which are almost identical (save for the chip) to the previous line doesn't make sense. it's all about money. there is probably more money to be made right now making macbooks and 15 inch macbook pros. they've cranked out some 17s now so that means they've either got a new assembly plant on line or at least have converted some of the lines from a plant formerly making 15s over to the 17s...these kinds of operations changes take a while to make and require considerable planning and commitment to a decision in order for them to make sense, money-wise. anyway, that's my take on it...

  • Has anyone received their C2D MBP with 3GB RAM?

    For those that have ordered a 15" C2D MBP with 3GB of RAM:
    a) have you received their order yet, and if so, did it take a while to ship (mine's taking forever to ship);
    b) do you feel that the extra 1GB was worthwhile paying for in terms of performance under programs such as photoshop CS2 etc.
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   667 MHz PPC

    Yes, I received my 15-incher with 3gb of RAM and 160gb HD. I ordered about an hour after the store came back up with the updated specs on 10/24, it shipped late on 10/26, and I received it on 10/30.
    I've not tried CS2 - I have that but currently run it on my Dell desktop. I'll be migrating my photography workflow over to the Mac next spring, when Adobe univeral binaries become available, at which time I'll replace the Dell with a Mac Pro.
    I can say, having started working with the Aperture trial and Parallels running Windows XP (to which I have a gig of RAM dedicated when running the VM), that the extra memory seems to make a significant difference. I'm not at all sorry I bit the bullet for that extra gig - especially since Apple's price vis-a-vis that upgrade seems very reasonable relative to the aftermarket memory providers.
    Good luck on receiving yours soon. This is a wonderful machine...

  • Has anyone received a BTO or standard model?

    Well my BTO MBP was supposed to be shipped today but it is highly unlikely. The Apple Customer Service could not confirm it, saying that the standard configuration models begun to ship at the end of January 2009 and the BTO versions are probably now being customized.. With a 2.93 GHz chip and a 320 GB (7200 rpm) drive, one would think it would not be a big deal.
    Has anyone received a 17-inch MBP? Anyone? Bueller?

    I had read a post from a user (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8939044#8939044) saying they had received an e-mail stating that their shipping will be delayed.
    I went to check my e-mail and had the same. Sorry to assume it was affecting every one.

    If you got one ignore it and delete it. It is almost certainly phishing.

  • Has anyone received an update on apple tv issue with HD movies and what they are doing about it

    Has anyone received an update on apple tv issue with HD movies and what they are doing about it

    Whatever the rep told you, it is complete nonsense. There is clearly a problem at your end, the Apple TV 3 is capable of more than the Apple TV 2, and you clearly have the Apple TV 2 working perfectly. Since the Apple TV 2 is able to download from the Internet properly, then my suspicion would be your problem lies on your local network. Interference is a common problem on local networks.
    Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Has anyone received the new update for the X6?

    has anyone received the new update for the X6 with the updated browser? what is the firmware version?
    Greece Nokia X6 RM-559 v40.0.002

    I agree with Vinimutta!!
    *slide to unlock with digital clock & sms & missed call notification
    *support for homescreeen widgets
    *qwerty keypad in portrait mode
    every single update so far was pathetic attemp to fool us and make us happy.
    there is no change at all from v30,31, and 32. exect the slightly smaller font for text input in v32.
    nokia promises alot in the new update, (browser, smiler and map)
    hope it leaves up to the expectation and include the portrait qwerty,homescreen and lockscreen.
    Why is it so hard to implement?
    slide to unlock and homescreen is already available in c6, and the portrait qwerty is available in 5800.
    its no like we are asking for impossible like continuous autofocus for video recording!!

  • Has anyone received Final Cut Studio 2 yet?

    I just noticed that the Apple Store now says that Final Cut Studio ships in 3-5 business days. I've got one on order and I'm waiting anxiously--has anyone received it yet?

    I just got it. Really cool, absolutely worth the price.
    Only downside is the same legacy interface of Final Cut Pro... It's what pros are used to and I didn't expect a radical change but the truth is that FCP is the only with an OS-9 carbon feel (just look at the dialog windows, icons, etc.). It's not just a matter of eye-candy it's also a matter of usability and coherence with the other apps -born in OS X- of the Studio (Motion, Soundtrack, etc.). Let's hope this will come in version 7.

  • Has anyone received a good iPod from Apple online store?

    Has anyone received a good iPod from Apple online store yet? (38th week batch without screen issue)

    Also got a week 38, came two days ago. Everything, including the LCD displaying black, seems perfect.
    I had been holding my breath for the past week. The LCD problem worried me so much that I tried to cancel my preorder to the Apple store. Becuase I had it engraved, I couldn't cancel.
    For me, it all seemed to work out.

  • I did the trade in for the 6...I mailed my 4s in over 3 weeks ago and still no trade in credit...and I can't seem to get anyone at Verizon to give me an update, even telling me that they received my trade in...has anyone received their trade in credit?

    Has anyone received the credit from the i6 trade in promotion?  I sent my 4s in over 3 weeks ago and I can't even reach anyone to see if it has been received and when the trade in credit would be e-mailed to me.

    We appreciate you taking the time to reach out to us, Richard24601! Your Gift card may take 4-6 weeks after the submission of the phone.

  • Has Anyone Received ICS Update for  7.7???

    My 7.7 will not update OTA.  Neither did the 7.7 on display at my local store.  I have tried this numerous times with hard resets and both OTA and wi fi.  My tablet is running 3.2 version FD01.  One rumor on the web is that FD01 will never accept the update, but FD01b might.
    I have been on numerous very long conversations with Samsung and Verizon on this issue.  They both blame each other and neither admit responsibility for the OTA push.  I tried to send the tablet to Samsung for reflash, but their repair rep said that they could not update the Verizon branded 7.7, the update could only be done OTA from Verizon.
    Verizon says they have no control over the OTA update pushes.
    I made contact with a Google rep who wrote:
    "Thank you for contacting Google Play Support.
    I understand your concern and frustration in trying to find more information about updates for your tablet. While this issue isn't supported by Google Play, hopefully I can clarify the update process. When an update to Android is released, it is received by the various manufacturers, carriers, and a few devices (such as the Nexus 7 and Nexus 4) receive OTA updates directly from our servers. Unfortunately, very few devices receive OTA updates directly from us here at Google. Instead, various manufacturers and carriers tend to take an Android update and modify it to their needs before releasing it to their respective devices. Since your device is a Verizon branded Samsung Galaxy tab 7.7, either Samsung or Verizon would ultimately be responsible for deciding whether or not the latest Android OS versions are pushed to your device."
    So it looks to me like Verizon is the culprit even though their Tech support does not know it.
    So, at this point, the question is:  Has ANYONE  received the OTA update from Verizon that worked, and if so, do you remember which 3.2 update you were running that accepted the push?
    Thanks,
    Harry

    I should have been a bit more specific on which 7.7's I am referring to.
    Specifically, has anyone with the Verizon branded SCH i815 model received the update?  Or has anyone bought or received a refurb tablet from Verizon that had the ICS operating system already running?
    It is clear that the other wi fi 7.7's that Samsung sells can be and have been updated by Samsung, but my conversation with Samsung indicated to me that they cannot or will not update the SCH i815 because it is a Verizon specific model.
    What I am looking for here is info on the SCH i815 as to whether ANY of them are running ICS and how/where did that occur.
    Thanks,
    Harry

    No but it is obviously not for real and not something you would want to click on.  Kinda wish you hadn't posted the link. Can you delete the link from your post? We don't want anyone clicking it. If not, I'll report the post so it gets deleted (not because it is inappropriate, just to get rid of the link).
