Help From Apple Care Needed

Dear Apple,
My name is Zaid Abbas (21 years) from Jordan. I am a student at Princess Sumaya University for Technology (www.psut.edu.jo). I am studying Computer Graphics and Animation. The nature of my study requires specialized hardware and software. I opted to buy Apple product for reliability and for great user experience. Before one year and seven months I bought MacBook Pro Retina Display 15-inch early 2013 (core i7 third generation 2.7 GHZ, 16 GB RAM), my cousin was in the USA and he bought it for me. I invested all my money on that MacBook about 3000 USD and as you know as a student I have odd jobs and it was hard for me to collect that amount. I was convinced that the investment in the laptop is for at least 5-6 years. Unfortunately before two weeks my logic board stopped working and this rendered my laptop to be useless. I have no ideas what is the cause for this problem. The authorized center in Amman that deals with Apple products told me that to fix it will cost me 1550 USD. This is beyond my capabilities; I don’t have that huge sum. I am looking at the option to my MacBook with anyone to a country that have Apple Store, to see if I can get it repair for free or in a better price. The timing has been unfortunate for me as I am working right now on my graduation project (a digital game), I don’t have any good laptop to design my characters and my User Interface. I am really hoping that you can provide me with a solution or any advice to bring my laptop back to life.
Many thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,

This problem is beyond imagination. I already contacted MyMac.at Apple Service Provider in Wien Austria, and they are shocked but they can not do something without Apple Inc. approval.
The problem got beyond any Apple Care capabilities.
If I would buy an Apple Care 2 years warranty, it still does not apply for this kind of problem.
The lid is damaged, the intervention does not seem to appear on the system, it does not seem to be registered there, the intervention was made brutally to reap of the laptop of its components.
The company from Wien told me this is beyond any Apple Care warranty stipulations. They told me that I NEED a direct Apple Inc. reply on this matter, because they understood my problem, but they cannot still do anything without Apple Inc. approval.

HT201269 I am not finding my backup of my Iphone 5 that I backed up in itunes. I need to put the old information on my replaced phone from Apple care.

I am not finding my backup of my Iphone 5 that I backed up in itunes. I need to put the old information on my replaced phone from Apple care.

the itunes back up can be found in preferences/devices on ur itunes
the preferences can be reached by going to:
windows pc: edit/preferences
mac pc: itunes/preferences
check ur icloud as well in case u had the 'back up to icloud' option checked instead of the 'to this computer' option when u backed it up to ur itunes.
if neither of those have ur back up then ur back up is not in that pc and not in ur icloud for that apple id. it might be somewhere else (another pc maybe) or it doesnt actually exist.

Overnight my contact list went from 1492 contacts to 52.. With help from Apple support I retrieved all of my contacts. Here is the problem, I lost the groups. None of my contacts are sorted into groups as they used to be which is very important for me.

Overnight my contact list went from 1492 to 52. With help from Apple I retrieved the missing contacts using Time Machine. The problems is that the contacts are not in groups as they used to be. Any suggestions? I really need them grouped for business reasons.
Also, there are no longer pictures associated with each contact.
thanks for any help anyone can give me getting contacts back into the groups that I had established. By the way, the group names are still there, but they are all empty.
thanks,

What Mac do you have, with what version of OS X?

TS1702 my account will not take the security code on my credit card it tells me invalid code no matter what card i use what can i do i am not getting any help from apple

can anybody tell me how to fix this problem every time i put in a credit card it tells me invalid security code no matter what card i use

Why would you get help from Apple? You need to contact your credit card company and find out why the security code is invalid.

HT1349 How do you get help from apple if you don't know where to find the serial number of my "product." I don't know if they mean my itunes program, my iphone, my computer, which one, the number on the computer (is there one), or something in Windows or

How are you supposed to get help from Apple if you don't know what your serial number is? They say to input the serial number of the "product" that you are asking about. Since my problem is how to deauthorize/authorize computers, and they are saying I have more than 5 (which I have never owned more than 5 computers in my life), I can't imagine what serial number they mean. Does it mean your desktop computer? If so, which one? Do they mean your device? LIke your iPhone, iPod or whatever? Do they mean the software ON one of your computers and/or devices? If so, which program, and on which computer/device?
We have three operational computers, one does not have iTunes on it. Since Apple is saying I have more than 5 authorized computers, and I can't imagine what they are, I am afraid to deauthorize all my computers. See what I mean? I just wanted to ask the question about how I can find out WHICH computers Apple thinks I have authorized, so I can decide if it's safe to deauthorize them all or not. I only know of 2 computers that have iTunes on them, so how can there be 5? We also have 2 iPhones and 2 iPods in this family, but one of the iPhones has his own apple id. He may have been using mine, since his computer died. I read that those don't count as "computers" to the 5. Do they, then?
Help! I can't contact apple because I have no idea what they mean about serial number. I doubt they would help me anyway. In order to get the serial number off my desktop computer (that has iTunes on it already), I will have to move furniture, so I don't want to if that's not it. Is there some way to find the serial number in the software, either on my desktop or my iPhone?

You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized.

How do u get help from apple support with iChat? I was able to chat with support last week to solve my problem but now the same issue is back and I don't see the option to chat now?

For what it is worth I have noticed a similar issue from the iPad3 while at work and home. At work we have two Apple TV 3rd Generation installed and tied to our A/V system. I believe the issue has to do with a timeout on the broadcast saying "here I am" and allowing devices to connect.
For example:
At work we have several Wi-Fi SSID being broadcast from Cisco APs. The only one we can use with the Apple TV is the one that uses a WEP since the others are either setup to be hidden, require web page authentication, or have a login requirement from employees. Essentially, what I believe the issue is that the Apple TV periodically broadcasts a message to other iOS devices that support Mirroring. When the Apple TV does not get a response from a device it goes into a dormant mode and requires either a command from the remote control or a reboot. This has been tested with both the power management enabled and not enabled with the same results.
As for when I come home, the Apple TV3 has not seen the device in some time and therefore is not broadcasting it's location information. A simple click of the circle or menu keys on the remote will give it the command to start broadcasting again and allow the iPad3 to see the Apple TV. When trying to Home Share the computer can not play (iTunes 11, Win8RTM) until the Apple TV is awoken then it will show up for mirroing.
This may or may not assist you but, it hopefully explains how the issue may be happening.

Icloud email disappearing intermittently ...need help from Apple!

Two instances which happen intermittently:
1) Email from a legit sender flashes enough to read but disappers when response is clicked on - no trace of original email found anywhere.
2) Email that are deleted are not in Trash - disappears automatically with no trace.
I asked this question many times but not received an answer from Apple yet. Does any one else have this problem? Is there a solution to prevent this intermittent anomaly?
Thanks.

Hi,
Contacting Apple for Support and Service
Carolyn

I am really upset because I have a subscription to Readers Digest on my iPad and can't access my issues. It asks me for a password and ID I don't have and I can't figure out how to get help from apple or readers digest.

Need help and Apple or Reader's Digest are no help

There is a customer service 800 number on here that may be of some help for you (I hope)
EDIT. I had a link that was working and now it will not work. OK - this is really ticking me off now. Here is a C&P.
1.
Where can I download the Reader's Digest magazine app?
You can download the app from the Apple App Store : click to RD page in iTunes
2.
How much does the app cost?
It is free to download the app and there’s a gratis previous issue you can sample. Once you’ve downloaded the app, you can buy individual issues ofReader’s Digest for $3.99 each - the same price you’d pay for the print magazine at a newsstand.
3.
Can I buy a subscription to Reader’s Digest magazine on the iPad?
Yes. You can get a month-to-month subscription for $1.99 per issue, or you can get a yearly subscription for $14.99.
4.
I already subscribe to the print version of Reader’s Digest. Can I get the digital issues as part of my subscription?
Yes, for a limited time, U.S. print subscribers can access iPad editions for free. That includes all the additional videos, slide shows, additional articles and cartoons - a terrific value! Just tap the red button at the top right of the screen and follow the instructions. You’ll need the mailing label from a recent issue to enter your subscriber information. Once registered, your email address and ZIP code will serve as your log in username and password.
5.
Where on the mailing label can I find my subscription account number?
As indicated in the image below, the account number is on the second line from the top of your mailing label. It has 10 digits.
6.
I entered my account number and ZIP code, but nothing is happening. What should I do?
Call our toll-free Customer Service number: 877-342-4775.
7.
Is access to the iPad app included for international subscribers?
We’re sorry, but access is available only to subscribers in the United States at this time.
8.
I’m not seeing a subscription option in my in-app Store - what gives?
You need to update your app in order to subscribe.
9.
What content is included in the app?
Everything that is in the print magazine is also in the app. Plus, bonus photos, articles, videos, cartoons and animation, graphics, and various interactive features.
10.
What devices can the app be used with?
It is available only for the iPad at this time.
11.
Will new issues be delivered to the app automatically?
Not automatically, but you will receive a notification when each new issue becomes available. If you have subscribed to the app you can download it immediately. If not, you can choose to purchase and download the individual issue.
12.
Will the issues I purchase expire?
No. Once you purchase an issue, you will have access to it for as long as you keep the app.
13.
About how much memory does one issue take up?
An average issue will take up between 300 and 500 megabytes. With a good WiFi connection, it should take only a few minutes to download.
14.
If I delete an issue, can I download it again for free later?
Yes. Simply touch the home icon in the upper left corner of your app to go to see all available issues. Tap the “archive” button next to an issue to remove it from your iPad and free up disc space. You can re-download it for free at any time.
15.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Your subscription will renew automatically each month (for monthly subscribers) or each year (for annual subscribers) unless you take action to cancel it. To do so, open the "Settings" app on your iPad and select “Store.” Tap on your Apple ID and select “View Apple ID.” Once your account information appears, scroll down to "Manage App Subscriptions." Here you can turn your subscriptions off and on.
16.
Can I share the digital issue with friends?
No. There are currently no share features available.

My enrollment is still pending. No help from Apple.

I applied for membership for the iOS Developer Program on the 8th of July, 2014. I also received an email from Apple confirming the same, telling me my order request would be processed within 2 business days. However nothing has happened yet. When I log into the member center it says that I still need to purchase and activate my membership in order to join.
I have also written in to Apple's Support ( case number 633607559) but have not received a reply.
Does anybody have any advice on what else i should do?
Thank You.

Apple couldn't put this information somewhere with the package when you buy it from them
What information? That they can't track your iPod if it's stolen? Does your car company put a note on the dashboard that they can't track your car if it's stolen? Does the manufacturer of your television, blender, etc?
They can't send me a message saying "your Ipod was sync'd to a computer here"
No, they can't. That would be considered by many people to be a major invasion of privacy and people would be up in arms if they learned that this sort of information was being sent to Apple every time an iPod was synched to a computer.
And Apple has no way of knowing that you are still the legal owner of any given iPod, so there's no way they can give any sort of private information such as sync or location, even if they had it, to any individual. They can and will assist a legitimate law enforcement entity if the police request it, but the chances are slim that your local police will have the resources to take the time to contact any manufacturer of a stolen product, and it's limited to searching the service database to see if anyone has brought in that device for service.
Sorry, I really sympathize with your loss, but there's just nothing Apple can legally or technically do.

Not able to start up from Apple Care Cd

My G5 Server will not start up from the Apple Care CD. Has anyone had this problem? I have files on there from InDesign that when I run Norton says they are damaged. I want to try to run Tech Tools to try to fix them, but can not get the CD to start up.
Suggestions?

Do not bet the ranch on Norton's pronouncements that your files are damaged. Symantec/Norton has been fairly far behind changes in the file system.
Make absolutely certain that you are using the correct version of Norton Utilites for your Mac OS version. The wrong version of their products have done damage to many Mac directories. Symantec/Norton has abandoned the Macintosh market.
Have you tried booting from the Mac OS Install CD? Do not Install -- Disk Utility is available from the Installer Menu, and since you are not booted from your Hard Drive, the Repair function is available for it.

Why does it have to be so difficult to get help from Apple?

I have been having problems with both Safari and my Hotmail (live) email account on my iPad 2, and I have spent the past 3 hours just trying to get to this point where I could even ask a bloody question. I am one very frustrated consumer right now. Fortunately, I have had few problems with my iPad over the past year, but now that I have... WOW! I had always heard Apple support was good. Not for this paying customer!
Yesterday, I had to change my hotmail password because my account had apparently been hacked. I have had nothing but error messages from the iPad since. I have reset, re-entered the password, deleted and re-created the account... And I still have trouble receiving and viewing the contents of some messages. The error message says the username or password are not valid, or something like that. I am not locked out of the iPad as some people have been.
My other issue is with Safari. When I try to navigate to msn.com (US), I always get rerouted to msn Hong Kong, and everything is in Mandarin! Nothing i do will get me to the US site, let alone change the default.
A year of bliss with my iPad, but now 24 hours+ of ****.
PMM

Yes, I recognize this is a user forum... But I did end up here through the Apple site and after rummaging through other posts, manuals, the Express Lane, etc. I admit I did not call Apple yet, but I was hopeful I could find someone with a similar problem that could offer assistance without coming to that.
I admit I am frustrated out of ignorance as much as anything else, but the process of establishing an Apple ID and password with my iPad was bad enough. That alone took several tries. Everything seemed to work, but then in the end it would kick me out and force me to start all over again.
The whole problem solving process may be fine for a regular member of the Apple techie faithful, but as a first time, casual consumer... It was not what I would expect from Apple.
To answer the microsoft question: I have perused their site as well for help, but I have really had no trouble with hotmail or msn when accessing these sites through my windows based laptop/Internet explorer. I have only had trouble with my iPad.
I assume my HK msn problem is due to the fact that I have actually used my iPad in HK on occasion. I'm guessing there is a setting somewhere in the iPad or the msn site that is remembering that fact and defaulting to HK. I just can't figure out how to change it because most of the text in the site is in Mandarin.
Again, whether it is in the iPad or msn isn't the point. As this is a user group, I thought there may be another IPad user that has experienced this and could help.

IMEI Blocking from Apple Care USA due to stolen IPhone

My IPhone 5 was stolen recently. In Indonesia, the carrier nor Apple Centre could blocking the IMEI Number. Is it possible if Apple Care in the USA does that for me? I only used it for a week and I feel devastated. Thanks for help.

No. Apple does not block/track phones If you were running iOS7 and had find my Phonre enabled you can try to remote wipe the phone. When the thief tries to activate the phone he will be unable to do so as your AppleID/password will be required.

The home buttom of my iphone 4 is not working and im already without coverage from apple care, where can i fix this problem and how much will it be?

THE HOME BUTTOM OF MY IPHONE 4 IS NOT WORKING AND I'M NOT COVERED WITH THE APPLE CARE SINCE THIS EXPIRED, WHERE DO I TAKE MY PHONE TO BE FIXED AND HOW MUCH IS THAT GOING TO COST?

you can get it fixed through apple for 149$ they will just swap you out devices

Defect in aluminum? no help from Apple or Best Buy

So I am the owner of a new MacBook Pro 15" rig, purchased on Oct 19 online from Best Buy, picked it up at local store. Noticed a small defect in the aluminum case next to the power button. At first did not seem like a big deal, but the more I looked at it, and considering what I spent, I thought it should be looked at. I took it back to the Best Buy store and was told by Geek Squad guy that it appeared that something underneath was pushing up. He then said because I was (7 days) beyond their 14-day exchange/return policy, that there was nothing they could do for me, and that I had to call Apple.
I called Apple and after being handed off from two other CSRs, was inbformed by the third CSR that becuase the defect was not something that was affecting the performance or operation of the machine, there was NOTHING THEY COULD DO either. She said that I could take it to a repair center and pay for a new case, but because the repair guys would be replacing a part, that my warranty woud be voided. Hmmm...I spent over $1800.00 on this less than a month ago and expect to have the unit for many, many years. This is a glaring example of VERY POOR SERVICE. I can live with the cosmetic defect, but the customer service that I have so far received from Best Buy (not surprising) and Apple (who claims "award winning service") makes me think twice about what and where I will purchase in the future.
If anyone from Apple is monitoring this blog, maybe you can intervene here and win me back!

This isn't a blog, and nobody from Apple is monitoring it. Call Apple customer service. That's your only hope of a resolution.
