How does Apple ship an OS X upgrade disc?

Hello.
I bought a new 13" MacBook Pro a couple of weeks ago, and therefore I qualify for the Up To Date upgrade to Snow Leopard. This is nice.
I'm just trying to figure out how Apple delivers the OS upgrade disc?
Do they ship it by regular mail or is it UPS as was the case when I got the MacBook? (I'm located in Sweden btw.) I'm trying to figure out if I should leave the office address or my home address on the order form.
Thanks a bunch!

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
to my knowledge Apple always uses UPS (or DHL or the like) since they ship from centralised points, like Ireland for Europe.
Personally I would give the Office adress.
regards
Stefan

  • How does Apple ship via FedEx if FedEx doesn't support Macs?

    I just got off the phone with FedEx and they said that they don't support Macs...
    Which is weird since everything I've ever ordered from Apple has come FedEx.
    So how does Apple ship our via FedEx? Do they have custom software for label printer support, and if so is that available to Mac users?
    I'm guessing there aren't a bunch of PCs in the warehouse... well I hope not.

    Many operations are farmed out to consultants, 3rd party vendors, etc.
    I believe Ingram Micro does fullfillment/shipping, not Apple corporate directly.

  • How does apple know what the fault is with my iphone?

    How does apple know what the fault is with my iphone when sending it to them on apple care. My sleep/ wake button seems to be stuck so I sent in for a repair on the website and they sent me a apple care box and said send it back but I Carnt remember if I told them the fault or do they know by the repair ID number? Please help as I'm sending it off in a couple of day.

    Include a note in the shipping box describing in detail the issue you have with the phone. Include your name, address, phone number, email, iPhone model and serial number, and a detailed explanation of the problem.

  • How does apple want me to create a DVD to play on my DVD player from iMovie? iDVD did not come with my iMac.

    I have created several home movies in imovie and am now ready to burn them to DVDs that family members can play on their DVD players. How am I supposed to do this? iDVD did not come with my imac. How does apple want us to do this? Thanks.

    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it, and how do I install it?
    Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. Some purchasers of new iMacs have reported that if you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone to Apple, they may send you a free copy of iDVD. Stating that they would return their brand new Mac unless they received a copy of iDVD worked for some, but that is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple.
    Also, you can complain bitterly via Apple’s Feedback link, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means. You may feel that Apple should not dictate how you destribute family videos or photos to distant relatives and friends, and should not assume that every user is prepared to pay for the excessive bandwidth usage charged by ISPs for huge downloads from the App Store:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or that comes with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. As there is no satisfactory substitute for iDVD Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.
    It is worth noting that the version of iDVD 7 included with iLife 11 only includes themes from iDVD 5-7. If you want all the older themes you should buy iLife 9, which has the same version of iDVD 7 but with all the themes, and none of the iDVD 7 updaters available from Apple Downloads contain them.
    Currently the only certain way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-21006826-20751 4/Installer001.jpg
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-21006826-20748 0/Pacifist001.jpg
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
    But even though you can still buy iLife 9 or 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
    When you try to install iDVD you may see a notice come up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March 2012, because Apple have withdrawn the license to it can no longer be used.
    In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
    If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer.  After installing iDVD reset the time back to the correct time on your Mac.
    You may be to use able to use the installer even without setting back the date.  Just click on the Continue button and it should work as expected, but for some it will not continue unless the date is  set back.
    Additional comments:
    Apple has clearly indicated in the newest iMacs, Mac mini and Retina Display MacBook Pro that it plans to phase out optical disc drives as soon as possible across the board, providing an external USB drive as an option for users who need one but which is not universally compatible with all Macs.
    Users increasingly have fewer opportunities to use optical drives, as the bulk of third party software is now available as a digital download either directly from the vendor or through Apple's App Store. but not all. Apple also sees digital distribution as the future of music and movies, as exemplified in Apple TV, which has never included an optical drive.
    The company has never supported any new HD optical disc formats on its products, including Microsoft's ill fated HD-DVD or Sony's Blu-ray format, despite initially being involved in the Blu-ray standardization process. Instead, Apple has put its resources behind developing increasingly higher definition audio and video formats that it can distribute electronically through its own iTunes Store.
    And if you think Microsoft are any better, their latest Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced:  http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
    In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past.
    The latest anorexic iMacs do not even include a CD drive (or Firewire)! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of optical media - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
    Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

  • How does Apple decide 'what's hot' among iphone apps?

    How does Apple decide what to list in its "what's hot" section of the iphone application store? I assume there is some hard coded logic behind that phrase.

    Sorry, but Apple never discloses how they choose those sorts of features.
    Regards.

  • How does Apple pay you if you sell your book?

    As many of you I'm thinking to set and sell a book through the apple Books store, so:
    I need an US tax ID, even if I'm not living in USA,
    and an ISBN.
    Then, suppose you sell some books.. How does Apple pay you? Do you have any options (i.e. Paypal, bank transfer..)?
    Thanks!

    Apple pays via electronic bank transfer to your designate bank once a month.

  • Does Apple still sell the Snowleopard upgrade for $29?

    Hello Folks,
    Does Apple still sell the Snowleopard upgrade for $29?  If so, does anyone have a link.  I can't find it.
    I only need it for my iMac.  My laptop came with Snowleopard.  I'm thinking up upgrading to Mt. Lion if it seems OK and also concerned about security since they are not doing security updates for Leopard any more.
    Thanks!

    I think it may only be available from Apple Phone Sales now.

  • HT1688 Does apple ship iPhones with SIM cards?

    I ordered my iPhone online from apple store. It is a locked version with AT&T. Does apple ship it with a SIM card or do I need to go to AT&T store to get a new sim?

    No, it's utter nonsense.
    AT&T and Verizon tend to be more expensive than Sprint or TMobile. Sometimes, you get what you pay for.

  • Does apple ship on Saturdays? Can anyone comfirm?

    I ordered my macbook pro almost a week ago and it's finally been ready to be packaged and shipped. So I am getting over excited. I know I am going to get it next week no matter what but when I called Apple customer service I asked, "Does apple ship on the weekends since Fedex, DHL, and UPS takes Saturday shipments?". The rep replied, "They don't give me that kind of information."
    I was a bit confused so I ask well is the shipping center open on the weekend? Once again the same answer. I find it a little odd that she wouldn't know something like that. Obviously people have had to ask before about things of the such. I mean there must be an answer.
    Can anyone confirm? Please?

    Yes, My mac book pro took about a week to get to me from >china. If you go to order status on apples web site it will >give you a link to Fedex and you can track your purchase. >Trust me it is well worth the wait.
    Thank you this was all I was trying to find out. As long as they ship on Saturday I should get it by monday or tuesday by the latest.

  • How does Apple TV sort photos from Aperture?

    I have arranged a set of photos in Aperture in a Project. 
    When I go to show these on the Apple TV, they appear randomly and not in the order that I have them in the Aperture Project.
    How does Apple TV sort the photos that it reads from my Aperture project?
    If I understand how it handles this, I can adjust the metadata to insure it shows as I want.
    I look forward to hearing back from folks about how this works.
    Thanks.

    I figured it out.  It is by the date and time code on the picture.
