I'd like to start an apple reseller store in Burma.

Hello everyone,
I come from Burma, a country in South East Asia. Here, Burmese folks seem to be in the craze for apple. Magazines, IT newspapers, billboards, you name it, apple is everywhere. We have dozens if not hundreds of computer electronic stores that sell apple products all across the former capital, Yangon.
I am college student who graduated from a US high school and now currently living back in my country. I own several apple products from ipods, iphones, macs just like every other mac crazed lover.
Now the problem is, when I got back to burma, my macbook screen had stopped working. After going around the city asking store to store about getting my macbook fixed, I'd gotten answers mostly saying they're not qualified to do such repairs and my computer would have to be shipped off to a neighboring country, Singapore, Thailand. Still unsatisfied with the answers from them, I went googling for apple service centers and official resellers and it was much ado about nothing. Well, except for this store locator page from apple themselves which I found to be a little humorous. http://www.apple.com/asia/reseller/mm/
My country has been under strict junta rule for decades. Everything had been recently sanctioned. However, reforms are taking place and most sanctions have been lifted or are currently being taken out.
This makes me sad to know shops that sell apple merchandise only well, do sales. Servicing isn't an option if you hadn't bought the product straight from the mom and pop apple stores.
I'd be very interested in opening an official apple reseller shop here in Burma. As I'm still a college student, I do not understand much about running businesses or setting up shop. Regardless, I am certain we need a store here that can handle proper sales and marketing and more importantly, as well as servicing. I'm not sure if anyone has stepped up, contacted apple and has been denied this official dealership. I wanted to see what apple community members think about my idea, whether if this is merely imposible or if anything, just comments or suggestions of any kind.

HT3964 power outage seems to have upset macbook pro....says security certificates aren't valid for sites like facebook, google, and apple app site...cannot connect to app store to update

Ice storm -power outage...Macbook Pro wouldn't charge....finally got it to work by holding down the power button but now it says the security certificates aren't valid on sites like facebook, google, and apple app store...cannot update software...any suggestions?

Hi k,
I don't know if it's the same in your OS, but in 10.6.8:
Go to Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access > Keychain Access menu > Keychain First Aid > enter your password > click on Verify > click on Start. If you get a message saying something needs to be repaired, click on Repair > Start and wait for it to finish.

I visited apple reseller for replacement of ipad having manufacturing defect.But they took my ipad only not box and accessories.Why?

I finally visited apple reseller store for my ipad replacement that has dust inside my screen,But surprising that they only took my ipad only not the original box and accessories, Don't know why, I asked they said that you will get brand new replacement.
But i dont know why they didn't took my ipad box and accessories ,is there chances that they will repair it and send to me.I dont want that,
Can anyone share the experience like this you have gone with. If i get brand new replacement will i get ipad in new box or just ipad only.
And My ipad4 is just 1 week old.Its brand new.

Thanks, but they didn't asked cable and power block.
Still i talked apple support online, they said i get refurbished if product is 30days old, Else I will get brand new.Don't know if thats true, Because whatever i will get i wont ever know if its new or refurbished.
Also do you think replacement will be sealed new box with ipad.
.Confusion was regarding box and all that , Thanks buddy for replying.

Selling Accesories on Apple Online Store

I have entered into the accessories business for apple products and ready with my first accessory to sell. I want to get started with Apple Online Store followed by Apple Retail Store but I couldn't any link/information on Apple website regarding this.
So, anybody knows how to contact Apple for this?

If Apple Support tell you to restore ,why do you think you know better ???
Restoring will likely resolve a corruption of the iOS as I expect you have used over the air to update previously
However if you know better ....................go forth

Yes Apple knows this and will replace, take both machine and charger in.

I have an old Imac G4 from 2003. I haven't used it in years, but I would like to start. What are my options for getting it up to date? Is it even worth the trouble/cost? I was hoping to at least get it running Snow leopard, if not Lion. Options?

I have an old Imac G4 from 2003. I would like to start using it again, however it is so out of date and runs too slowly. What are my options to update it? I really don't want to invest a ton of money - I might as well get a new one, so if there are any reasonable ways to get it to run Snow Leopard or even Lion, please help. I've also considered using a mac mini? Is that worth it either? I'm not sure which way to go here. I don't want to trash it, I feel like it can be a great computer if updated.

Presumably it is running tiger 10.4.11?
It may be able to run Leopard 10.5:
Leopard system requirements:

But that is as far as the old PPC Macs can go, and Leopard can cost up to $200 on Amazon.

When I try starting my iPod touch, it won't start; the Apple logo comes up for a few seconds, and then, it just shuts off. I tried to charge it through an outlet; the iPod didn't even charge, so I tried to restore my settings on my computer. iTunes won't

when i try starting my IPod it won't start, the Apple logo comes up for a few seconds,and then. it just shut off . I tried to charged it through an outlet, the IPod didn't eve charger so I tried to restore my setting in my computer, i tunes won't

But that requires the computer to see the ipod. I am having the same problem and I keep being told to restore it, but you have to either get the ipod to turn on or have the computer see it in order to so that. Right now I have a pretty useless 32GB ipod touch cos I cant get the thing to turn on! I can only get the apple logo for like maybe 20 seconds and it goes away. Ive charged it for days on a wall charger, on the computer usb charger, and on a speaker charger. Nothing works.

Every time I start my Apple TV it shuts down. I have to unplug it and wait for it to reconnect before I can use it. Any suggestions?

Every time I start my Apple TV it shuts down. I have to unplug it and wait for it to reboot before I can use it. This makes turning on Apple TV a very long process. Any suggestions?

That would be very hard to do, as I would have to do a lot of things--including moving furniture to get at the back of a receiver--and I'm not at all sure that the receive could accommodate it.
The process is like this: I dial the receiver to the Apple TV input. The light comes on, like it's connecting, but then the Apple TV goes dark before any connection happens. Then I unplug the power cord, wait a few moments, and plug it back in. Then the Apple TV actually connects, but only after a full reboot (setting time, etc).

TS1567 How do I start my apple mobile device service

How do I start the apple mobile device service

Depends on what version of windows you're running to give an accurate response... but it looks like you've posted the how to article as the title.... so i guess i'm a little confused as to why you're asking.
Windows XP
Close iTunes and disconnect the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Choose Start > Control Panel.
Inside the Control Panel, open Administrative Tools.
Open Services.
Select Apple Mobile Device and click Stop the service as shown below:
After the service has stopped, click Start the service.
After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.
Windows Vista or Windows 7
Close iTunes and disconnect the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Click the Windows Start button .
In the Start Search field type Services.
In the Programs section of the search results, Click "Services".
Select Apple Mobile Device and click Stop the service as shown below:
After the service has stopped, click Start the service.
After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.

I've walked through all of the wi fi problem resolves. None have repaired my problem. It seems like it starts to connect then stops forever. Even typing it starts then stops then it will catch up?

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.

Should I move from working Apple Reseller, to working for Apple?

Hi there,
I'm new to these forums and had absolutely no idea where to ask this so I hope it's in the right area and I'm not breaking any rules!
I'm currently working at an Apple Reseller in Victoria, Australia and over the past few weeks, I've been contemplating applying for an actual Apple store (only two in Vic at the moment).
The reason for this being is that I'm looking for more of a challenge and I would like more opportunity to grow and move up in my work.
Can anyone speak from experience? Do you think I'm just being jaded by the alure of Apple or that I could find these things in a new job?
I realise this question is quite the philosophical one but I would appreciate any thoughts/opinions.
Thank-you!

I think you should go for it! Talking to the people who do work at the apple store is a great idea as well, that will give you an idea of whether you would have opportunities to move up at the official store.

Official Apple reseller says "iPhone 5s's camera is much worse than the other"

Hi Apple support and fans,
I am writing to ask you and maybe get Apple's attention to what happened to me. I bought an iPhone 5s 8 days ago. I bought it from official Apple reseller in Warsaw, the capital city of Poland. And then my adventures began.
First, the plug is British, not Polish, because as the reseller said "we have some iPhone not from official distribution, but it will work". Because I needed to buy an iPhone5s fast, I accepted that. However, the question is still there - is it legal to sell British iPhones "from unofficial distribution channel" in Poland?
Second, and more important, my iPhone 5s makes horrible blurred pictures. I mean they are really blurred... I read all the posts on this forum and I tried everything. Finally I decided to visit the reseller and here is what their representative said: "These pictures are totally fine. They are blurred, as this is not a professional camera". Wow! What a discovery. I know that this is not a professional camera, but I know how photos from an iPhone (4 and 4s) might look like. So I replied that something is strange and I wanted to give my iPhone back to check it (under warranty). The representative replied: "We will not take it, and I'm telling you the pictures are all fine. The camera in iPhone 5s is much worse than it was in iPhone 4s and hence the blurred photos. Just live with that".
And now my questions:
1. Is it true that the pictures must be blurred in iPhone 5s, just because it works so? I can't bvelieve it.
2. Isn't the fact that they sell iPhones from "unofficial channels" the reason why they don't want to take the iPhone under warranty?
If anyone from Apple wants to take a closer look at this issue and maybe discover some "strange" actions from Polish official Apple reseller, I'm open to provide you much more details on the purchase, the store location, etc.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Kuba

iPhones are ONLY sold by Carriers and Apple an Apple reseller is unlikely to be authorised for iPhones and certainly would not sell an iphone with a foreign plug
You have clearly purchased a grey import a genuine Polish sourced iPhone sold by a legitimate iPhone reseller would have the correct plug for the Country
Big issue you have is warranty you need to take to an Apple authorised repairer
https://locate.apple.com/pl/pl/
luckily as long as iPhone came from UK you do have warranty ,EU is one "country" for Apple warranty purposes

I gave my iphone 5 to replace to apple reseller they will give me new or refurbished one?

my iphone 5 was network signal problems and it was in warranty period. apple reseller recieved it and will give me an iphone some day later. so like to know it will be new oe refurbished one.

You will get one from service stock. You should not be able to tell the difference.

I'd like to start an apple reseller store in Burma.
