How can I lodge a complaint with Apple about quality of products?

I am about to purchase my fifth or sixth charger for my 13' macbook... of this last year and a half!! I am so unbelievably frustrated with the quality of my charger and the fact that these have to be replaced so often for products that, in just a few months, will stop working. How can I get in touch with Apple to file a complaint of this nature? None of the numbers listed on the contact website correspond with the nature of my complaint.

lehath9, I don't know if this is the issue you're referring to, but I, too, am terribly frustrated by the amount of money I've spent on genuine Apple chargers in the last 18-24 months. 
I believe the quality of the chargers has declined significantly and have had to replace, several times over, the chargers that came with my 2nd generation iPad, my iPhone 4S and the latest iPod touch.  The cables/wires are breaking and fraying.  
I thought perhaps I was being too rough on my cables somehow the first couple times that it happened, but I know that's not the case now.  For comparison, the cables that came with my first two iPod classics and my first Nano are fine. I also took an informal survey via Facebook to see if others have noticed the same issue and got about 20 affirmative responses, all of which stated the problems started with chargers sold in the last 18 months. 
I've purchased four replacements in the last six months and the third of those 4 is now broken, exactly as the previous 2 replacements and exactly like the three before those.  The rubber/plastic casing for the wires pulls away from the non-USB part of the charger (the end that goes into your ipad/iPhone/iPod).  Once it pulls away the wires are no longer supported and they start to hang at an odd angle (no matter how careful you are plugging, unplugging and positioning the charger in the device) causing them to break and of course preventing a charge from reaching the device.

  • How can I lodge a complaint with Adobe?

    Hi,
    I'm getting mucked around by Adobe Support and would like to lodge a complaint. Does anyone know if this is even possible? According to "support" it isn't.
    Regards, Jon

    No idea... Adobe contact information - http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

  • How can i get in contact with apple about my stolen ipod touch?

    it was stolen out of my backpack 2 days ago, and i have the serial number- it's 1c90**201 <Edited by Host>. I wanted to report it and see if they could do something to track it. please help me, this one one of the best things i owned and i can't afford another one.

    Apple cannot track your stolen equipment. Call your local police. If you know the serial number be sure to give it to them. But I would not hold much hope of recovery. If you have homeowners or automobile insurance the theft may be covered although that may not be helpful if you carry a high deductible.

  • How can I lodge a complaint about Adobe Flash Player?

    How can I lodge a complaint about Adobe Flash Player? When I updated Adobe Flash Player this morning it also installed a McAfee scanning software without any warning or notification. I find this totally unacceptable. But I cannot find any information on the Adobe website that will allow me to lodge my complaint. Which I also find totally unacceptable.
    Ho hum.

    This is a an old complaint. I would have thoughtas much bad karma as Adobe has received would have stopped this practice espcially since it found that many time McAfeee either gets protection signatures wrong or cause more problems than it fixes.
    I don't know whether mailto:[email protected] is still effective.
    At one time a disgruntled Adobe products user created a FaceBook or twitter page. And many in past have claimed when there complaints got ignored or laughed at by Adobe. They suddenly got action whe airring their complaint on this FaceBook or Twitter page.
    There should be a big warning Box stating:
    Adobe is about to install a package Called McAfee  on your computer. If you do not wish to instal click checkmark here.
    Do you wish have Adobe install Products not requested on your computer yes__  or no__ please use a √
    And to adhere to wishes of the customer.

  • How can I open items made with apple works

    How can I open items made with apple works

    You need to purchase Pages for your iMac. You can buy it from the App Store.
    I don't know if the version of Pages for the iPad will open the Apple Works documents. If you have the documents on your Mac and want to open them on your iPad the easiest way I can think of is to open a DropBox (Google it) account and store the documents there. Then you can try to open the documents in Pages on your iPad. If that doesn't work then I know Pages for OS X will open the Apple Works WP documents.

  • HT1688 how can i register my phone with apple to obtain my 1 year warranty

    how can i register my phone with apple to obtain my 1 year warranty

    The one year standard hardware warranty comes with iPhone. No registration required.
    If you have purchased AppleCare Protection Plan (APP) or AppleCare Protection Plan Plus (APP+) during the purchase of your iPhone, it is Auto-Registered if you purchased it at the Apple Retail Store or Apple Online Store.
    If you purchased the boxed APP or APP+ from Apple or any reseller, you will need to go to supportprofile.apple.com and sign in with your AppleID username and Password.
    You will need to register your Serial Number (found on iPhone Box or in Settings>General>About) and then register your APP or APP+ with the slip of paper that came in white box with the red Apple Logo.
    Hope this helps!

  • I bought iphone from Canada but now I'm in Thailand and I upgraded to ios6 but I couldn't turn on wifi and back up on icloud so I want to know that how can I claim my iphone with apple care because no apple store in Thailand. Thank you.

    I bought iphone from Canada but now I'm in Thailand and I already upgraded to ios6 but It doesn't work well.I couldn't turn on wifi and back up on icloud so I want to know how can I do with my iphone because no apple store in Thailand.Can I send it to any apple care which is easy and near my country? Thank you.

    You can find a local shop and pay to get it fixed or you will need to send the phone to someone you know in Canada and have them take the phone into Apple for service. Then they will need to ship the phone back to you. The warranty is based in the original country of purchase.
    Decide which is your best option.

  • Apple has just deleted my alias - which I was using as my main email address.  They deny me creating a new one for 7 days.  How can I get in touch with Apple so that they repair what they have broken?

    Has anyone had a problems with their alias today?
    Apple has deleted mine today; causing me a major headache as they deleted the alias that I use as my main email address.
    What happened exactly, is that the @icloud.com alias remained, but the @me.com disapeared.  So that the John.Smith alias became valid only for [email protected], but [email protected] disapeared.
    To try to restore the situation, I deleted the alias, with the hope of re-creating it: but bad luck, that option is not open to me as I have had 5 aliases active till today, and they now only give you 3, and even once I had deleted 2, they would not allow me to set-up a new one for 7 DAYS.
    I can't be without email for 7DAYS, care of Apple.  Calling AppleCare does not seem to help, and the line gets dropped once I have explained the problem.
    Please help me raise someone at Apple to fix this.

  • How can I send a complaint to apple Portugal?

    I sent my ipad for repair through a dealer shop in Portugal, because it is still under warranty.
    After 15 days, I was forced to move to the shop to be informed that the tracking system was active and apple could not repair the device.
    When the shop assistant turned it on, it was found that this function had already been disabled , which I confirmed in my icloud later.
    Basically I was forced to send the ipad, once again, for repair because it continues without charging (in fact he had no battery , it only worked because plugged in, now) and I have to wait another 30 days to recover it, because it was opened a new process.
    Given that they had all my contacts, it's ridiculus they had not told me, because I could easilly turned off the location function at home in the iCloud, and they could repair the ipad while they had it. Saving all this trouble!
    This leads me to believe that you apple is slowing down the process for the warranty period to pass, and I end up with a damageded device.
    Apple is acclaimed for the quality of its products , which is why people expend a lot of money to bying them, it's a disappointment to be treated this way.
    Even worse, Is that it does not have an adequate email for which I can complay properly .
