How to test MBP purchase while in the store?

I have been reading in some of the posts that the advantage of buying in a store is you can test it for several possible problems. How can you do this if you can't get past the first "Welcome to Apple" screen? Wouldn't you have to start inputting your information in the store and to get to the desktop and test fans, screen, speakers, etc.?

I've done this in three states, and the Apple personnel were uniformly gracious and understanding. But don't pick the busiest day of the week during peak traffic to sit there playing with your new MBP for hours.
As for what happens if you have a problem as you're setting it up, I think it's up to the store manager. I had a flaw in the plastic of an iMac G5 and the Manager offered me $100 off an iPod I was also eyeing to forget about it - which I did (I'm easy to buy off).
If your machine has any serious issues I think most managers would swap you a new one at no cost. Something minor or cosmetic they would handle as above.
Your mileage may vary but I've found it a very worthwhile practice. Show up early on a weekday and the Genius types may even get into testing the machine with you if there's nobody else in the store.

  • HT201272 How can I delete "purchased books" in the store section of I Books?

    I have been trying to delete the "purchased books" section of I Books.  I inherited this I pad and would like to clear this section as there are questionable books.  I would like to delete them but don't know how.  I have already removed them from showing up in my library but would like to start fresh in "stores".   I do not want them available for downloading in the future.

    You can't permanently delete any items from an account's purchase history, all you can do is hide items : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    If you log out of the existing account on the iPad (tap on the id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app) and then log in with your account then none of the previous owner's purchases should show.

    Hi,
    The events of BDT can be used to default some fields on creating a partner.
    For this create a function module for ISDAT. attach that event in BUS7.
    In the ISDAT funtion modulethe following code should be used.
    For example to set the nationality:
    I_BUSDEFAULT-NATIO = 'DE.
    CALL FUNCTION 'BUP_BUPA_FIELDVALUES_SET'
    EXPORTING
    i_busdefault = I_BUSDEFAULT

  • I want to bring in text from Word (and the web) that is already hyperlinked into InDesign. How do I do it while keeping the links active?

    I want to bring in text from Word (and the web) that is already hyperlinked into InDesign. How do I do it while keeping the links active?
    Whenever I copy/paste from web or Word it removes the hyperlinks.  And when I try to do it by "Place"ing a Word document into my InDesign project it keeps the formatting with it, the rectangles around the text.
    I have the latest version of InDesign.
    Any help is appreciated. 

    Copy-and-paste may not include formatting. A regular import using Place is the best way.
    The rectangles around the hyperlinks are just to indicate they are links -- they do not print, but they do show up in your PDF.
    You can remove them by double-clicking the hyperlink in the Hyperlinks panel and select "Invisible Rectangle" as type.
    Typically, Word hyperlinks are formatted -- blue text, underline -- with a Character Style. If you want to remove or change the formatting, all you have to do is change the character style. My experience, though, is you must check all hyperlinks because for no apparent reason sometimes they appear in the document without the character style.

    Update: I am not sure what fixed it but immediately after posting this question I was able to successfully order. Maybe I needed to log in with my Apple ID to establish a connection another way? Anyway. Solved.

  • Where is the "check for purchases" link in the store menu?

    I purchased music, and it shows up in my purchase history, but it didn't download. iTunes support told me to click the "check for purchases" link in the store menu, but for some reason (maybe I'm blind), I can't find it anywhere--can someone please tell me exactly where to look on the page? Thanks!

    I opened my eyes, and lo and behold, there it was, on the top of the screen the store MENU, not the iTunes store page. Duh.

    If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

  • How to create new folders while installing the VI in some other PC

    Hi,
         I want to create a folder while installing the VI to some other maching using installer/setup.exe and also i want to copy some excel file to the c: drive of installing PC while installing is their anyway to do this. Please help me in this regards
    Regards
    Shivakumar Singh

    Hi
    If you are installing vi from CD, then you might use the first approach with application builder.
    If you just want to use any CD, than I think you should consider some interactive script with the user.
    You can easily creat one with the windows commands, by means of *.cmd files. You can read about it by typing "help cmd" and/or "help" in the RUN in Windows. Then I propose to search the web for some examples on how to write the cmd scripts. If you know TCL there will be no problem for you.
    You can also try to ask some dudes on the WinNT newsgroup. They will write it in no time.
    Unfortunatelly I have now no time to write the script for you.
    good luck

  • How to create multiple Purchase Order  using the same document number?

    HI Friends,
    I m in a product which extracts data from SAP and stored in Access database.
    For that,while i extracting Purchase Order from the Demo Database (SBODemo_US)for OEC Computers,the same DocNum is used for several Purchase Order using Index Line numbers.
    eg:
    DocNum for Purchase Order1 -->3000   0 (Index)
      DocNum for Purchase Order2 -->3000   1 (Index)
        But i can't create multiple Purchase Order using same DocNum manually in SAP B1,Could anybody please help me <b>to create a Purchase Order using same DocumentNumber?</b>
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    The problem statement is not quite clear to me.
    As far as I understand your statement, I think you want to club multiple orders into one purchase order using the index incrementally.
    For this I think once you have created the first purchase order, open the purchase order in edit mode the second time and append the new line items.
    If I am getting you wrong please explain the problem statement in more detail.
    Regards,
    Rara.
