HT201250 Hard Drive to be replaced under warranty

Will Time machine store loaded software for other applications such as Dragon dictate and microsoft office for Mac or will I have to reload the software if I get my Hard drive replaced?
Advised by Apple today that Harddrive needs replacing under warranty due to faults fouund by apple.

Thanks for the quick response.
The apple reseller said I need to backup my HD to an external HD.
I am not sure what superduper or CCC are but I can google them.
Thanks again

  • HELP"apple application support not found when installing itunes after a hard drive crash and replace

    HELP"   error "apple application support not found" when downloading itunes after a hard drive crash and replacement????

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    My Xtra is the second player I've gone through in 6 months; the first never operated correctly, was replaced under warranty, and now the second has failed with a "hard dri've problem".
    When the Xtra powers up, it goes directly into Rescue Mode. It does not load the OS, or perform any of the Rescue Menu actions, it just sits there and gives the hard disk problem error screen. It was working normally until today, and no drops, spills, kicks, or other trauma to the unit.
    Anyone seen a problem like this?
    I was reading the reply from PBody and dediced to try that. I heard the clicking as he described. When I was moving down to check on the Clean Up the unit slipped out of my hand and landed on the desk. It only fell about 3 inches but I heard a click and the screen came up with the proper menu, so I'm all set with playing again. I'm just wondering if I should be expecting this to be happening often ?
    Thanks for the suggestions.

  • Is it possible to move files from corrupted sectors hard drive to a replacement one?

    My 2011 macbook pro was recently diagnosed with bad sectors. I am looking to get a replacement hard drive, probably a  750 or 1 tb Seagate SATA. Do you think that is sufficient? I do not play games or do anything memory intensive. The most I do is watch a lot of movies.
    Also, is it possible to move files from a corrupted sectors hard drive to the replacement? If so, how would I go about doing this?
    Also, for the operating system, it is probably wrong, and can't check since my Mac pro won't get past half way on the start up loading screen.

    Try a sector copy with CCC and enable using checksum file copy to insure integrity.
    Then Data Rescue 4 - try demo before buying
    Do a full erase of a drive before reusing.
    Invest in SoftRAID.com going forward as it "looks for" weak sectors, alerts.
    Also Google around but SMART Utility has been mentioned as an excellent program/utility -
    When a drive has used any of its spare blocks from when it ships is #1 indicator of being time to replace.
    And of course always have multiple backup sets, methods and know how to use and restore from. Even do a practice set. I would not use just TimeMachine for instance.
    And for some, only a mirror array (minimum two but really consider three drive mirror, with stripe reads to improve performance) can allow pulling one, add a new member and still have a two drive mirror.
    Cloud storage for backup. With OneDrive and Facebook backing up all the photos on all your devices, Macs and PCs as well as tablets and phones, you can have 100-200GB quite easily. And there is Google Drive and Amazon as well as others.
    A new data drive, a drive to do all  the recovery of files that were on the failed drive(s), and probably a clean system drive and use that as you recover and build your system back up.

  • Mac mini solid state hard drive does that replace the 2 by 1T hard drive

    mac mini solid state hard drive does that replace the 2 by 1T hard drive

    There wouldn't be enough room in the Mac Mini enclosure for 2 Fusion Drives since they are really just a SSD and a Platter HD working in conjunction. Could really be smoking in a 4 Drive RAID box though. I am speculating here but there is only 1 additional partition allowed in the Fusion Drive. My thought is that the current Management Software would get thoroughly confused with multiple partitions probably due to mount points not being able to register in a normal manner. IMHO the Fusion Drive is another crutch for the normal/average user that doesn't want to be bothered with file management protocols.

  • HT201328 If my carrier unlocked my iPhone and it needs to be replaced under warranty. Do apple sends an unlocked phone.

    If my carrier unlocked my iPhone and it needs to be replaced under warranty. Do apple sends an unlocked phone. Or I have to get it unlocked again from carrier.

    Once Carrier unlocks any iPhone, this is entered in to Apples data base. Therefore, as replacement under warranty you get unlocked iPhone.

Apple representative offered to replace my cable but not my sons. Not a happy apple user right now.
    I'll let you in on a bit of a secret.  Apple retail staff (Specialists, Geniui and Floor Mangers) have a great deal of leeway when it comes to customer appeasement.  When rapport breaks down, the customer is less likely to enjoy that leeway.  Chances are, no matter who made the intial call, it will be reinforced regardless of how high it goes up the supervisory chain.
    The item you went in for retails for $19.  They probably misplace four or five of them each day.  If they sent you home without one, there was likely a good reason for that.

  • My hard drive was just replaced and cannot get on the internet

  • IPhone 5 replacement under warranty.

    My iPhone 5 IMEI no says it is purchased from USA whereas I had bought it in Hong Kong. It's still under warranty. The Sleep/wake button is not working and I would like to know whether can I get a replacement under warranty at an Apple store in Singapore? I reside in India and there are no Apple Stores located here. Nearest to me is Singapore. Kindly help.

    After spending $1K for the iPhone 5 to be one of the first to own it, I have got a lemon in my hands :(
    The iPhone or any Apple product is something I would strongly suggest only buying from Apple or an Apple authorised reseller (all of which can be found by looking them up by country/region on the Apple web site).  This forum has many similar stories of someone hoping to get a bargain or beat the crush of a new release, only to be left with nothing but an empty wallet.  Sorry it happened, but buyer beware I'd say.

  • I have a macbook pro 10.6.8 system.  My hard drive was replaced under warranty.  Since then, my computer runs hot. The original hard drive never ran hot.  What would cause the new hard drive to run hot?

    I have a 2011 MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.8, 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7,  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3.  This is my first computer so don't know anything about trouble shooting.  A week before the warranty expired, I took my computer to Apple to be checked.  I was told that my hard drive was bad and they replaced the hard drive.  Since then, my computer runs hot most of the time and the fan is constantly coming on, which is good  My computer rarely ran hot with the original hard drive.  What would be causing this? 

    racergirl,
    have you tried resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller, to see if that makes a difference with the heat?

  • How do I get Apple to stand behind their warranty and replace my defective computer? The hard drive has been replaced twice, the track pad once, and other hardware issues. Can anyone help me so I can get Apple to replace my defective

    My computer has been a lemon. They refuse to properly diagnose, fix, and document my complaints regarding the multiple failures I have had with this computer. Also, I was told that upon my logic board being replaced back in April or May that the topic of replacing the computer altogether with one of equal equipment would be appropriate. Insofar, I have been to the store at least three times in the past month to discuss my issues with the computer that were not resolved when the hard drive was replaced in May. I was also told that the repairs on my system would be good for up to 90 days after the repair work was done and that I could buy AppleCare at the end of the 90 days in lieu of insuring a product that still had defects. I have been on the phone for what feels like hours with Apple trying to work this issue out but they are not wanting to stand behind their product nor are they willing to stand behind their warranty. The warranty expressly states that a computer can be replaced entirely if the defect is considered hardware malfunction and at the representative’s discretion. Every time I brought it in for repair it was due to hardware malfunction; however, they also said once that it was an accessory that I bought that was causing the problem which ended up not being the case after all. This is totally unacceptable. I also asked Mark from AppleCare to let me know what was repaired the second time the computer was put through a diagnostic at the Apple Store. Beachballs, Gears, excessive heat, not being taken seriously at the Apple Store, being insulted by a Mac Genius at the Apple Store, being misinformed by a Mac Genius, dealing with a misinformed Mac Genius. They replaced my iPod touch without much ado.  I was also accused by an Apple Genius of being "hyperbolic." He said this in response to my complaint of the computer melting--literally--items on my computer desk. I am either wanting a refund of my money or a replacement of my laptop. Also, I have lost an incredible amount of data on my computer due to the hard drive being replaced x 2. Not acceptable. Also, the Apple store is 1 hour from where I live. I am currently looking for employment and additionally have a legal case pending where I am the plaintiff. I have lost VERY important documents in both matters which has caused an extreme amount of stress. I do not need the added stress of an unreliable and unsafe computer. I also have been waiting for a call back from Kelly (left two voice messages with Kelly) and Mark (wrote an e-mail for which he has not responded to insofar) at Apple but have heard nothing from either one of them regarding the status of my computer. The only thing I received which was automated by the Apple Store was a confirmation that my computer was ready. I have requested documentation of what was done (basically, I am asking for the receipt) before I drive an hour to pick it up. Haven't heard anything. I brought this computer in on July 24, 2011. We are now upon August 2nd. When do I get to know what was even done on my computer? Do they really think that I am going to take back a computer into my possession only to have to bring it back shortly thereafter to address one of the many issues causing it to malfunction in the first place? I have owned 5 computers  since 1988. All of them PCs. This is my first Mac. Will it be my last?

    The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
    You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

  • Hard Drive Failed after replacement

    My computer recently went in for a repalcement harddrive from HP Support as it is still under warranty. After recieving it back I went and ran the same test that told them the harddrive had failed last time and recieved a failure id of 
    GGANWC-67H6K8-XD7X1F-60SF03
    It looks similar to the last one. Is this a Bios issue causing the hard drive to give errors or is it another faulty harddrive?

    Hello TheProfitible,
    You have just had the HDD replaced and now you are getting a similar error that it has failed again.
    The code checks that the HDD has failed.
    You should call HP and have them replace the drive again and check the motherboard. It could be a problem with the motherboard failing.
    Sorry to hear it happened.
    Here is the link to phone number for HP.
    Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
    Let me know how everything goes.
    Have a good day.
