How can I get replacement fans?

My upper right fan (cpu fan) is noisey and I want to replace it. Apple's web site lists it as a user replaceable part, but I just called Apple's help line and was told that since I was over the ninety day point that there wasn't a way that I could order them from Apple.
I have read on this forum that some people have ordered these items from the Apple store. Will someone please tell me HOW?
I know that I could take it to the local Apple store, but I'm an old man and this thing is too heavy for me to lug thru the mall. This is a part I've replaced many times on my PCs, why can't I do the same on my iMac G5 Rev A?

Jose,
Thank you for the reply. On the 20" Rev A the cpu fan is on the upper right of the machine. This is confusing because Apple calls the cpu fan on the 17" the bottom fan.
The 20" cpu fan is removable, and user replaceable according to the Apple web site. I went to the local apple store today and spoke to one of the gurus there. He said that they could not order it for me, or sell it to me, but would be happy to replace the fans if I brought it in. I guess that's the only choice I have. I guess in the future the smaart move for me and other Florida residents is to buy apple machines from someplace like CompUSA who WILL sell me their two year warrantee extension which is in home service. I truly wish that Apple and the state of Florida would get together and solve this squabble. It leaves us consumers caught in the middle.

I had to get my hard drive replaced from Apple, I lost all of my music obviously. My question is, how can I get all my music off of my iPhone onto iTunes? Since it's a new hard drive, the iPhone isn't recognizing this as it's home computer.

You will need to use third-party software to transfer music from your phone to the iTunes Library. I recommend Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac | Macroplant.com.

Read another post in the forum about this and it appears this app also installs a profile with a proxy service that you will have to try and delete as well. Check that out.

How can I get my Ipod Touch 2 replaced?

Recently, I found out that my Ipod Touch 2 has an accelerometer issue.
When I put it on a flat surface, it shows up there is 20 degree incline(I use an app named iHandy Level to find that). Yes, I can calibrate it, but when I did so, and turn it 180 degree, it shows up that 20 degree incline again. As a computer engineer myself, I know it's a hardware fault. And I notice some other Iphone/Ipod Touch user have the same issue and had their Iphone/Ipod Touch replaced.
I tried to find out how can I get it replaced at www.apple.com/support, but I didn't find anything helpful. Since I live in a small city, there is no apple retail store here. I need to drive 4 hours to reach the nearest one. And I bought it 6 months ago, so they don't provide complimentary phone support to me.
Is there any chance that I needn't to drive so far to get my Ipod Touch replaced?
Since I am not a naticve English speaker, maybe there is some information helpful but I didn't find it?

Hi,
I tried to send it back to apple to get a replacement TWICE!!!
And get nothing...
They said:

As a result of our tests, we can confirm that your product meets Apple specifications for performance, usability, and functionality.
I feel really bad, especially the second time...
Hate apple...
I will try again...

I lost my Hard disk and had to replace it, how can I get another copy of lion OS, P.S. I bought my macbook pro with preinstalled Lion OS

I lost my Hard disk and had to replace it with a new one, how can I get another copy of lion OS, as the guy at the serive center installed 10.6 for me.
P.S. I bought my macbook pro with preinstalled Lion OS

If you have a way to wipe 10.6.8 off, you can then reboot your machine (with no OS) and since your system came preinstalled with Lion, Internet Recovery should occur which will boot to Apple's servers into a Recovery HD for you to redownload and install Lion.
To be safe I would first make a clone of the current installation using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!. This way you have a way to recover.
