How do I send my MBP in for repairs?

This is probably a really obvious answer, but for some reason I can't figure it out. I'm having the typical logic board errors (random restarts, sometimes won't boot up, and the whining noise). I just enrolled my AppleCare plan, and I'd like to send my MBP in for repairs as soon as possible (I start college in two weeks). How exactly do I do that?

If you take your machine into the store, they will not be able to repair it within 45 minutes. The best you could hope for is a 1-2 day turnaround. However, it is extremely likely that they will not be able to do a logic board repair in-store within a few days. Instead, they will send your machine into a repair center, and you can pick it up from the store when it comes back.
Alternatively, you could call Apple Care and they will send you a box to ship it in. When the repairs are done Apple Care will ship it back to you directly. This is nice because you wouldn't have to drive to the store.
The problem with either of these strategies is that it seems there is currently a shortage of MBPRO-15 logic boards. So if you send your machine in, there's no telling how long it will be before you get it back. Some users are reporting quick 3-4 day turnarounds, but many users are reporting 3-4 week turnarounds!
What I would suggest is driving to the store and having a Genius there diagnose your machine. They will likely agree that you are in need of a logic board replacement. If so, you might be able to convince them to order a logic board for an in-store repair. This way you could hold onto your machine until the logic board arrives, and when it does they should be able to install it with a 1-2 day turnaround. I realize it is a hassle to drive back and forth, but this way you don't run the risk of being without your notebook for an extended period of time.

HT201557 How do I send my iPod in for repair? I can't find out how...

I have recently just sent in an application so my iPod can go in for repair. It is the 5th generation. I cannot find anything about how to send the actual product in and I was wondering if anyone can advise me?
thank you.

Note that it will not be repaired:

Sending MBP in for repair, $50 reinstall fee if accidental erase...

Hello-- I was going to send my computer in for repair recently and the mac genius asked whether I wanted to pay $50 in case things were accidentally erased/lost.
I was kind of surprised that would be something I would have to pay for. Is this normal, are there other options ... like do most people have their own back-up and reinstall themselves or do you just pay the $50 bucks if it happens that things get erased ? and what is the liklihood of losing data ?
Thanks.

Sad thing is a complete image of your system would take them a few minutes and could be done simply as a customer service. I would come to expect Apple to offer this free service before anyone. Would give great press.
Gone are the days that such issues are even issues. For Apple, it would be as simple as plugging in cable, starting up a backup utility (they could even get a nice one made in house for their purposes), got get a coffee, come back to find it ready for servicing. No fuss, no muss.
The charge I think it very weak of Apple. Not surprising, but very weak, considering just how easy it would be backup the data with the means at their disposal.
Then again, Time Machine should make backups run a little smoother on Mac, which have a surprisingly very poor bundle of backup utilities to choose from.

HT2458 Has anyone else who uses AT&T as their carrier been told if you cannot access your voicemail through your iPhone that there is no way to check your voicemails? This is an issue since I had to send my phone in for repair. Thank you

Has anyone else who uses AT&T as their carrier been told if you cannot access your voicemail through your iPhone that there is no way to check your voicemails? This is an issue since I had to send my phone in for repair. Thank you

You received incorrect information from AT&T. You can indeed access your voicemail without your iPhone.
Call AT&T at (800) 331-0500 (assuming you're in the U.S.). This is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week number. Ask them how to access your voicemail. Normally, you would just do this by dialing your number from another phone, typing "*" once your voicemail recording starts, and entering your password. You don't know your password, so it's probably the last four digits of your phone number or perhaps the seven - or ten-digit phone number. Let the AT&T person tell you.

What is the exact address I send my phone to for repairs?

what is the exact address I send my phone to for repairs?

That is not how it works.
In the U.S. for example, if an exchange under warranty is approved over the phone, AppleCare ships the replacement iPhone and the box the replacement iPhone is shipped with is used to send AppleCare the iPhone being exchanged under warranty.
No one arbitrarily ships their iPhone to Apple for repair. They won't accept the shipment for starters and an iPhone will be exchanged under warranty if needed, not repaired.

If your backup is incomplete you won't be able to use it. Do you have any backups on your computer? (You can check by opening iTunes and going to iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Edit>Preferences>Devices on a PC). That will list any available backups on your computer.

I brought iphone 5s to local i centre in Armenia, they opened the phone and said that they can't solve the problem, is it possible to send it to US for repair ?

If some unauthorized shop opened the iPhone and attempted a repair, then Apple will no longer touch the iPhone. If they didn't attempt repairs, then Apple might be willing to service it, but only in the country in which the iPhone was originally sold. If that was in the US, then you will need to take the iPhone there yourself, or you will need to send the iPhone to someone you know in the US who can take or send it to Apple for service and then send it back to you. Apple will not accept shipments from outside the country.

Sending iPhone 4 off for repair...

My iPhone 4 has been coming up with ''no service'' when I put in my o2 sim (it is unlocked for o2). I have decided to send off my iPhone for repair, at a fee of £126. What's next? Has anyone experienced this problem before, and were Apple able to fix the problem?

Have you tried some of the basic steps such as
reboot, restore, and restore as new?

How do I send photos to Walgreen for quick development

How do I send photos to Walgreen Drug Store for quick development?

The first of these should help.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

How do you send a fillable pdf for completion and signature? Thanks!

Goodmorning, I just saw that you can send a fillable pdf for signature and this will allow the person to fill out the contract, sign and email back. The one time I tried that it did not work. What are the steps, or a link to the directions, to do this?
Thanks so much,

Will I still be able to send my iPhone 5S for repair even if I don't have its proof of purchase?

Yesterday, I got a problem with my iPhone 5S. When I updated it to iOS 8.1, it restarted along with the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). When it rebooted, it stuck in recovery mode, and when I want to restore it, it won't. It will display the status bar that it's restoring the firmware and when it reached halfway, it will turn blue screen then reboot and back again to the recovery mode. I contacted apple for this and they suggested to have my device for repair because it's a hardware problem.
So the real problem is, I've forgotten my receipt where did I put it. So now I don't have the proof of purchase for my iPhone. Can I present the original iPhone Box as a proof of purchase instead of the receipt? Please help me for this, I really need to fix my phone ASAP and I don't know if I would be able to send to apple knowing that I don't have its proof of purchase.
P.S. How long will it take for Apple to fix my device?
Thank you!

Apple doesn't repair iPhones, other than some stores being able to replace the screen for a fee. They replace it with another of the same capacity, color, etc, as the one you have.
You should be able to get an Out of Warranty replacement for $269 USD. Bring it to an Apple store and they can tell you for sure.

Sending material/tool outside for repair work

I have to send the tool outside to a workshop for repair work.
How it is done in sap?
which movement type I have to use in this case?

hi
1. MM01 - Create Material Master for every Spare Part / Machinery to be sent to Vendor for Repair as Non-Valuated (Material Type "UNBW") (Do not extend Accounting and Costing views since you don't require postings of Stock value and consumption values, you only want to track the Service/Repair Charges)
2. MIGO - Goods Receipt > Others (Receive the quantities of these materials using Movement Type 501 / 511)
3. ME21N - Create Subcontracting PO (Here Main Material and Component will be same material)
4. MB1B - Transfer Posting w.r.t. Subcon PO (Mvmt Type - 541, Spare Part stock will get posted to Vendor Stock)
5. MB90 - Take Print out of this Material Doc as Returnable Gate Pass (U need to configure Message Determination of Inventory Mgmt)
6. MIGO - GR against Subcon PO (101 - Receive Spare Part, 543 O - Consumption of Spare Part form Vendor Stock)
7. MIRO - LIV for Service Charges w.r.t. Subcon PO
check this process

Why won't apple let me send my phone in for repair?

My phone is unfortunately water damaged so I want to send it to get repaired.
After filling in the online form on the Apple support page a few days ago I realised I didn't have the £185 it quoted for the repair so I thought I'd leave it until I'd got paid to send for repair.
Now 3 days later, when I fill in the form online to send my phone for repair, once I get to the 'detailed quote and payment' tab, it redirects me to a page that says 'We're unable to complete the repair. Please try again or choose another solution.'
Does anyone have any idea why it seemed to be working fine a few days ago but now just displays this message? I've filled the form in so many times that I feel like I'm going crazy.
I would take it into an Apple Store but there isn't one locally.
Any advice?

If, as you said in your first post, there isn't an Apple Store you can get to, call Apple support and talk to them. As Tim suggested, it may be due to your having a repair order open already. If you call Apple, they should be able to get you set up.
Regards.
