How long would it take the Apple Store to fix this common problem?

I have the 2010-2011 macbook black screen of death, some days it crashes at least 4 times a day! screen just blacks out and i have to restart. other than that everything works fine
http://oleb.net/blog/2012/05/15-inch-mbp-mid-2010-crashing-to-black-screen/
now here it says apple will fix this for free, so i scheduled a genius appointment for Monday, this guy here says apple just replaced the entire logicboard, how long should it take?
also how can Apple verify that i have the same problem?  (I'm pretty sure it is the same problem)
I saved one of the error logs in a text file, maybe that should help.

It will take as long as the service department tells you it will take. We are users like you. We do not have any insight into your particular service center's backlog, staffing level, capabilities, etc. Ask them how long as they are the only ones who will know.

  • How long it will take for apple to verify my info to get the new software for free?

    how long it will take for apple to verify my info to get the new software for free?
    i have submit my request since 6 hours, is that normal??

    from what i hear, it takes a minimum of 72 hours before you hear back from Apple.
    but because there are a lot of people are wanting to get their free upgrades, it might take even longer now.
    good luck - just be a little patient and your turn will come soon....

  • How long would it take if I order the iPhone 5s Friday?

    I want to order the new iPhone 5S friday morning and let it deliver in Germany. How long would it take before it arrives? It would be perfect if it arrives the 27th of september...

    Depends on how many iPhones Appel Germany has for pre-order.
    Place your order as soon as possible to get earliest delivery.
    Other than the above, there is nothing your fellow users can tell you,
    Key factors will be how many iPhones are available and how many are
    gone before your place your order - no one knows either number know.

  • My lock button is broken. How long would it take to get that fixed?

    The screen lock button is broken so I can no longer take screen shots or lock my phone. Would I have to send my phone away to get this fixed and how long would it take? Also do I need to go to an apple store or can I take it to the verizon store that I bought the iPhone and AppleCare through?

    You will have to take it to an Apple store genius bar.  Some stores in the US are able to do repairs on the iPhone 5 series while you wait...but you will have to take it in and see if your store can take care of it for you.
    Verizon cannot do repairs so go to the Apple store.

  • How long does it take the 'Do Not Disconnect' screen to disappear?

    How long does it take the 'Do Not Disconnect' screen to disappear?
    I Just got my ipod nano a week ago. I put maybe 10 songs on there and then today, since I had some time, decided to start creating my library. By the time I decided to stop and plug in my nano so it can update, i had like 219 songs that had to be transferred. I watched each song on iTunes go to the ipod like usual and then my list that comes up when you select "__ ipod" is all grayed out like it's still updating. On the top of the iTunes screen, it says ipod update is complete though, and of course, my ipod has been saying do not disconnect for the past hour and a half with the battery fully charged. Does it really take that long for it to finish synching my songs? I mean I know I had a lot of songs to put on there put geez!

    Hi CocoaVixen718
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Try ejecting your iPod from iTunes. You might want to look at Knowledge Base Document #61685 about The "Do Not Disconnect" Message and Knowledge Base Document #93492 explains How to Safely Disconnect the iPod.

  • How long does it take for apple to review my free Pages,Numbers & Keynote

    how long does it take for apple to review my free Pages,Numbers & Keynote
    It seems it's in review, bummer, 3 calls over 50 hrs and always in review.  The blame seems goes to holiday traffic ? Shades of Obamacare !
    I always thought Apple was in tune with customer issues, guess not.

    Don't know what you mean by "review", but this may be relevent:

  • How can i pay on the apple store online with two credit cards, with two different billing addresses

    I will be greatful if you could answer me this question...
    How can i pay on the apple store online with two credit cards, with two different billing addresses?
    I know that you can use two credit cards to pay an item but the problem is that i can only put the billing address of just one of the credit cards, and since the two cards are from different people (my parents) i can't do it. They live in the same place so i don't know if i should just put one of the billing address.
    Thank you.
    PS. I don't know if this is the right community to ask this, sorry if i'm wrong.

    On the Apple Store "Payment & Pricing" page it states:
    Using more than one payment card
    You can also combine payment methods to pay for your purchase. Choose from the following combinations of credit cards and Apple Gift Cards:
    Credit card(s) - up to two
    Apple Gift Card(s) - up to eight
    Apple Gift Card(s) + one credit card
    During checkout, if you are paying with a gift card issued by a credit card company, you can combine it with one credit card.

    I have an IPod 5th generation and I would like to delete all personal content, and be signed out of my Apple ID as well, but there are apps that no longer exist on the apple store that I would like to keep.

  • How long does it take for Apple to send the content code for a free upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    Has anyone managed to successfully receive the content code in their email for a free ugprade to Mountain Lion?
    I bought my MBP on 14 July so I qualified for the free upgrade. Went to the website and filled in the form along with my serial number about 2 nights ago. Still haven't received my content code yet. How long does it take? Should I be speaking to someone already? Who?
    Thanks.

    We are being advised it can take up to 72 hours !

  • I dropped my phone in the toilet. I took it out right away!!! Wiped it very very good!! Put my iPhone into the rice as told. now, how long would it take for it to be good again? It's still on, I hear my notifications and the vibration is okay too.

    Says it all ^

    At least a week and change rice every couple of day with fresh dry rice.
    If it still doesn't work take it to the Apple Store and ask for an out of warranty replacement. for which you will be charged.

  • How long does it take for a store to process an online order for store pick up

    Hello,
    I placed an order for a Macbook Pro on November 11, 2014. Scheduled an in store pick up where Best Buy estimated pick up date is November 14. I didn't receive the email or text to pick up the item, so I decided to call 1-800-best-buy to see if I can get the new estimated pick up date. I was told by the representative the laptop is actually already at the store, and waiting for me to pick it up. I called the store to make sure, and was told that I can pick it tomorrow morning. I called in today was placed on hold for around 15 minutes. Decided to call 1-800-best-buy again, and found out that it will take another 3-5 days before I get my laptop. I asked the representative to change the pick to another store that has the laptop available right now. It was change since around 10 am in the morning. I called the store to make sure that they got my order, the Manager told me that once the truck deliver more laptop. I will be able to get mine, and I should call in the afternoon to check on the availablity. I called around 5 pm to check, and was told that even if there is a laptop. I would still need to wait until best buy process my order. Called 1-800-best-buy again, and was told that Apple usually take 3-4 for hours to verify the information. Right now, my order status is still "Preparing Order".
    My Questions: How long will it take for Best Buy to finish Preparing Order?
    Why does it show on the website that if I order by 8 PM I wil be able to pick up the laptop today. Meanwhile, the store pick up was transfered since 10 am this morning, and at 10 PM tonight still nothing.
    If I cancel my order, will I get all of my reward zone certificates back?

    Hello sourlime,
    Welcome to the forum. I'm not a big online shopper, but when I do order something, I expect it to be an easy, painless transaction. It sounds like you had some troubles with your order not being available on the estimated pick up date, and I sincerely apologize for any frustration you encountered.
    Using the e-mail you registered on the forum, I was able to locate your order, and was glad to see you were finally able to pick it up. I do appreciate you taking the time to visit the forum, and I assure you I will be documenting your comments for review. If there is anything else you need assistance with, please do not hesitate to let me know.
    Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and thank you for posting here on the forum.

    I have a Mac Mini with a processor that won't upgrade to Mavericks.  I am running OSX 10.6.8 on it---but there are functions in OSX 10.7 I'd like to use.  The Apple iTunes Store told me they were sorry but my licenses would no longer work---wife's computer upgrade done sometime ago---how can I upgrade to OSX 10.7?   There are no boot disks.  

    Thanks, Dominic.   I got caught up in thinking that Lion wasn't available after a conversation with a chat person.  My real problem was that I'd already purchased Lion and my purchase history didn't go back far enough to show that.   When you gave me the link to Lion on the Apple Store it jogged my brain back into rationality.   Thanks.

  • Is the Apple Store still fixing chipped MacBook cases?

    I have a case that has chipped, split, cracked, peeled - whatever you want to call it - on the right corner palm rest and the screen bezel. I have jus learned that this is a known issue (where have i been, right?); but, the Apple Care has expired for this machine. Will the Apple Store be able to repair or replace these parts? If so and if not covered, how much will this typically cost?
    This is an old MacBook (2008?).
    Anyone have a similar situation?
    Thanks,
    Brandon

    Thanks for the info/inspiration.
    I am all fixed, and here's what happened (for future searchers):
    I called the apple Store and spoke to a Genius. He, understandably, couldn't tell me anything about wether it would be "free" or "covered" because he'd have to see it first. So i made an appointment for that very day over my lunch break.
    I walked in, checked in by saying "I have an appointment at the Genius Bar". They took a look and took it to the back room to be fixed. I asked about the charge and got a very friendly "oh no, it's on us." They were finished in less than 15 minutes - plenty of time to wander about and daydream.
    Overall, this was a very pleasant experience.
    For reference, My MacBook is the late 2007 white model.
    Take care,
    Brandon

  • Iphone car charger once again not charging. Second one and they are not cheap from the apple store.Any else have these problems?

    My Iphone car charger is not charging again. This is the second one I have bought from the Apple store and they are not cheap anyone else have problems?

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • HT4009 How long does it take for apple to return with the needed code for in app purchases.  We have a developer working through elance that states he submitted a finalized version last friday to apple and is still waiting to get the code back from Apple?

    We are being told by our elance developer that he is just waiting on apple to return the code for in app purchases with our app.  he says he had to submit a complete version before they would give it to him and that he did that last friday.  Needless to say i don;t beleive him.  Can anyone validate for me the process of getting the code installed into our app and how long it should really take.

    I'd say an average of one week, depending on backlog. Expect two if you are outside the US.
    The outage has caused some lingering effects that seem to be delaying things for some, however.
    Patience is key in all things when it comes to being a developer
