How many times does hardware have to fail before I can get it replaced

First my mic died
Then I had to replace the logic board
now the power supply is bad
iMac is just 9 months old
I got a lemon and no tequila
At what point can I ask Apple for a replacement iMac?

Unless the machine is covered by AppleCare you don't stand much chance. However with AppleCare normally 3x and they'll replace it. My suggestion is get AppleCare which will extend the warranty to 3 years and also include telephone support.
If you don't want to purchase AppleCare then you can always call Customer Relations and plead the case. In the US that number is 800-767-2775 outside the US I have no idea. You would need to call AppleCare and ask them. Remember you have a human being on the other side so be organized, have exact dates, receipts and all other data with you and above all be pleasant, polite and peristent.
Good luck!

Does anyone know how many times a newly purchased product (MB Air 2014) can be exchanged within the 14 day period?

Does anyone know how many times a newly purchased product (MB Air 2014) can be exchanged within the 14 day period? I feel like the MB Pro would be a better fit for me, so I wanted to exchange my Air for the Pro. But also, if I end up not liking the Pro and want to go back to an Air, would I be permitted to do so with another exchange? (all still within the 14 day window after purchase of course).
Also, are there any specifics I need to know in order to return my product and get a new one? Obvioulsy, I would be sure to remove all of my personal files, music, etc...but is there anything else I need to do?
And lastly, and im sure this question is irritating to you Mac wiz kids out there, but are the two models im comparing really all that different? I just cant make up my mind and would love some pointers/suggestions/tips/info to help me figure out what model is best for me (the apple employee that was helping me in the store was actually not that helpful at all, if they were I wouldnt have to ask this question on a discussion board). I do tons of multimedia things and download and enjoy music, tv shows, movies, all that stuff..and I used to love to burn dvds and cds (obviously cant do that with the MB Air now which totally bummed me out ). Which model does anyone think I should stick with? Id greatly appreciate some opinions! Really tho, help me out ppls! I'd love some helpful advice! I sometimes have problems making big/important/expensive decisions lol I just really want to make sure i am getting the best model for all of my daily tasks and all of the things i actually do regularly on my computer.
Oh, last lastly- I cant afford anything more than a 13" STANDARD MacBook Pro at the moment...soooo the Retina display is unfortunately not an option for me.
Which is also a big bummer.but i think i can get over it...or beg someone to loan me an extra $200 lol
Someone....Annnnyyyone....Pleeeeease....Heeelllllllp....
Thanks

Just play with each and figure out which one you want. I believe they only allow 1 exchange unless it is a defect issue. You can always return the exchanged item and rebuy what you want if they will not allow you to do multiple exchanges.
But again, you need to really figure out which one you want.

How many times does the JDBC sender adapter retry ?

Hi All,
How many times does the JDBC sender adapter retry in the ' Retry Interval' specified .
I know that it retries after the time specified in the ' retry interval' , but if it again fails after the first retry will it retry again and again .And while doing it will it block the next Select query which should get executed.
Thanks & Regards,

How many times do I have to download and install Firefox 34.0 Beta 7? Software update asks me to do this (and I do) at least once a day. Yes, I have restarted.

Using MacBook Pro, 15", early 2008, 2.4G Intel core 2 duo, 4G ram. Software update asks to update Firefox 34.0 beta7 every day. If I update, it just asks me to do it again. It has done this through the last several Beta updates. It's a bit disconcerting, since the updates are supposedly for security and stability. Let me put the question in another way: how many times do I have to ignore the update request before it quits asking? This is all causing me to regret making Firefox my default browser, especially since Safari has been improved so much.

Even so there is only a average of nine Beta test builds for each version in six weeks, so not that often.
Sound like you the update is not installing perhaps due to read/write permission issues.
Try downloading the 34.0b7 dmg from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/beta/all/

How many times do you have to pay for Creative Cloud complete plan prepaid if it says an amount of money per year? do you have to pay that every year?

how many times do you have to pay for a Creative Cloud complete plan prepaid if it says an amount of money per year? do you have to pay that every year?

Perhaps the unclear part here is that the Cloud is a subscription offering. You never pay for it outright and never actually own it.
12 months pre-paid simply means paying the full 12 months subscription upfront. The following year, you do the same. And the same every year after that.
Like any subscription, if you want to keep using the software, you keep paying the monthly (or annual) fee every month (or year), year in, year out.
When you cancel your subscription, or it expires and you don't renew, then the software stops working.

I just want to kno how many time do I have to buy the same app?

how many time do I have to buy the same app?

You are going to have to articulate a little more clearly what your issue is. General statements like buying the same app every year is not helpful.
What, exactly is your issue? What Apps are you having to buy over and over? If you cannot take the time to describe your problem fully and clearly, then we can't help you.

On average, how many times do you have to restart ...

Ever since I've been using the E71 (less than a month, a new set), I have to restart it about thrice daily. Mostly, the problem occurs while connecting the phone to the PC (Windows 7) when the USB connection type selector on the phone (which appears when you connect the cable and asks for which mode to connect in) freezes; but some other times, just about any application (including the built-in ones) decides to take a nap and the only way to get it back is turn the set off and then back on again. And as soon as that is done, the app icons are all moved back from the customized folders to the folder "Installations" - very frustrating. I'm afraid of restarting this phone as lots of settings and app icons revert back to the defaults after restarting and I've to go through them again. But at the same time, there seems to be no way to make a stuck USB connection type selector work again without restarting.
Well, from my experience here, I know this particular problem has no solution. (Even if the process is ended using an external app manager, it hangs again on starting the app. This continues until the phone is restarted.) Therefore, I'm not looking for a solution here, although one will be welcome if you've undergone the same and have found a workaround. I just wanna know if you do also have to restart your phone. (I also have one Sony Ericsson and an iPhone; I don't generally need to restart them as long as I don't want to restart. At my current place, however, a Nokia phone is all I can use.)
So, do you have to restart your phone when you don't actually want to? If so, on average how many times a day (or a week)? This will help me determine if the problem lies with the phone or it's me who's doing something differently. Is there something you need to do regularly or often (like connecting the phone to the computer) and that operation generally results in a restart of the phone? Thank you for your response.

Yes I have apps installed on the SD card. Shifting them to the internal memory is not really an option (would leave very little free space over there which would then cause other problems). Besides, if the phone allows you to install the apps on the card, shouldn't they work from there? Yes, they should.
Without the card, there will be no custom apps and the phone would be almost useless (will turn into a basic device used to make calls and send text). To me, this is not an option. Also, I don't see how it would solve the problem automagically after some time.
The card doesn't seem to be faulty. I tried to connect the phone without the card inserted and it got connected alright for two times but the USB mode chooser froze the third time, just the same as with the card inserted. So a new card is probably not going to solve the problem.
Must be something strange happening here. Maybe it's due to the apps installed on the card rather than the internal memory, but I just cannot install all those apps within that limited space.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm waiting for more members' experience to come to any conclusion.

How many times does the VideoEvent.READY event get fired?

Hello,
I have 2 videos I am loading via VideoPlayer.load(url). I
have setup eventlisteners(VideoEvent.READY, onVideoLoaded) for each
video so when the videos are loaded my function is called. How many
times should my function onVideoLoaded be called? I assume once for
each video. This is not the case because my function is called
multiple times for the first video and not called at all for the
second video. Can someone to me why? Is this a bug with AS3? Any
help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Nilang

How many times will I have to update Genius before it 'knows' my collection?

I have 14,000 songs in my library (iPod 160G, version 2.0.4, Windows) but Genius only seems to know about 1,000 of them. The same tracks get chosen for the 'canned' Genius mixes and for the Genius mixes that I create myself. I make a point of updating Genius manually every few days. Is there a way I can get it updated all at once?
Thanks

I'm on my 3rd one.
First one got stuck at apple logo restored too many times and I gave up for an exchange.
Second one had cracks at the bottom near the connector and dust under the glass
Third one now still have some dust under the glass but not as noticeable, so probably I'll keep that one.
But all three of them have crashed and get stuck at Apple Logo. Bad 3G reception, and unstable Apps.
This is my first Apple product, and probably will be the last! Apple you need to have better quality control and more field testing and debug your software. I know you are in a hurry to compete with Google Android but you forget the most important thing, it's a communication device! Can't reset the phone when stuck at Apple logo without using iTunes is ridiculous! This is the most unstable PDA phone I have ever used!!!!!! Even Microsoft's Windows Mobile are far better and stable than your iPhone weak 3G.

How many time does apple take to check if your device applies for the recycling program and you get a gift card?

My question to those reading this. How many more posts do you think it will take for the issue to really be fixed? 100??
You need to know that this isn't a support forum. It was created by Verizon as a place for customers to help each other. You can post all you want, but Verizon doesn't respond to issues here. If you want to get a message to Verizon you need to call or chat with them.
Occasionally, the Verizon moderators will escalate specific customer issues to their support team, but I wouldn't count on any posts here resulting in any action from Verizon. Note that the strongest message you can send Verizon is to send them less or zero money as a result of downgrading or canceling your service.
Now, if you'd like help from other users post some details. There are a bunch of helpful people lurking here just waiting to jump in. But you have to give us a real issue and not a complaint about Verizon.
Good Luck.

How many times will I have to exchange this 3G iPhone?

July 11th - Waited 6 hours in line like a tool to get 3G Black iPhone 16 gig.
July 12th - Exchanged iPhone because of NO VIBRATION
August 15th - Exchanged iPhone because of hairline cracks forming at heaphone jack, vibration switch and bottom corner.
3rd iPhone has a light leak on left side, "bubbles" in plastic housing and a HUGE dust speck in the center of the screen.
So I guess I'll be heading back to get my 4th iPhone 3G, but I'm about ready to give up.
What number iPhone are you on?
The only good thing about Apple is that their Geniuses have been really nice.

How many times does the licence allow me to reinstall windows 7?

I have reinstalled once in the past and now I need to again. Something is slowing down the system, so I wish to eliminate possible bug infections. Is there a limit to re-installations? How many chances do I get to get it right? Thank you for
your help.
Non-technical history but willing to replace SSD and/or memory sticks if needed.

Please excuse me for not replying sooner, due to work commitments. For speed, BT only gave an upto figure, 10mbps. I replied my checking revealed only 0.75 to 1.3mbps attained. They asked more questions about the set-up, which they could not fault.
Then they claimed that connection had been lost, that it might be problems with the broadband. The PC then crashed and I had to force a shut-down and restart. Over an hour that all took.
I am wondering now if software such as 'malwarebytes.com' when scanning for bugs, do they scan only the C-drive SSD in order to clean the PC, or do they also scan the D-drive HDD. I use mine for storage of photos and also some downloaded GIF's.
Since I used 'malwarebytes.com' a virus API.Gravity.com has reappeared on screen.
Is it possible for a virus to get further into the machine, past the memory banks and not be cleaned by Norton or any of the cleaners?
If I format the SSD and clean everything off, will it be as clean as a new one. I am beginning to think it would cheaper just to buy a new SSD and start again.
Sorry this all taking so long, I cannot seem to shorten it. Very glad of your knowledgeable advice. Thanks yet again.
John.
