I got mine today....
Yes I got mine today, but not from Best Buy... After going to a few BB locations, it appeared to me that no one knew when they can expect inventory. What was also evident was how confused the reps were of the issue. I know that they are left out of the loop and really dont know, but in my opinion no matter what the issue is "I dont know" is never an acceptible answer, especially in a customer service type field.
I went to a local Apple store and they had plenty in stock (no white though).
It is in my opinion that either BB underestimated the demand, or really dropped the ball on this launch.
Well, I agree with much of your post. Our company was kept mostly out of the loop from Apple. I am happy you finally got an iPhone 4, even if it wasn't from us.
Rest assured, this feedback has been heard loud and clear (mostly because of this community) and the appropriate leaders are already aware.
Thanks for posting!

Well, I got my MBP today, on a fluke. I went by my University bookstore and low and behold, they had MPB's in stock. I about fainted right there. Since I am a law student, I get the student discount, so I went for the 2.16/100/2MB RAM.
I have not opened it yet becuase I have a paper due tomorrow. (Yes, it's agony waiting...) Are there any tips, suggestions, etc. that I should know before booting up and transferring files? I'm a recent Mac convert, so I don't know all the ropes yet....
Bob, it looks like we have the same configuerations, so I hope mine works as well as yours.
Thanks in advance...There's no accounting for taste.

Got mine today-headphone socket broken and can't download itunes 9!
As the title says, got my 5th gen nano today, the headphones plug has to be wiggled to get any sound and I can't seem to download itunes 9 - if i get the nano replaced in the morning will it work with itunes 8?
Thanks,I'm not sure about everyone else, but when I plugged my 5th gen into the computer for the first time, I got a message saying 'This device will not work with your version of iTunes, please upgrade to the latest version' -Or something to that effect. I had iTunes 8 and I would have preferred to stay with it, but I was forced to get 9 Oh well...
So to answer your question, a new 5th gen Nano most likely will -not- work with iTunes 8. -
Just wanted to say hi to everyone.
Picked up my Macbook Air today. Just got in. Have it charging now. Tomorrow will be a fun day of play!!!Congratulations, I'm so jealous!
My wife and I just got back from a visit to an Apple store where we got to play with one. Actually my second time, her first. Almost wish something would happen to one of our books so we could consider one, knock on wood.

I returned mine today and Office Depot did not want to refund my money even though I had until 1-7-12 to return it according to my receipt. They finally did refund my money but was not happy about it. But I give them credit for finally doing the right thing. I wish everyone here best of luck and I did learn a lot since the only tablet I had before now was a 1999 Fujitsu 10" Stylistic Tablet running Win 98 (Still works great, but kind of heavy! !) and a 2010 7" Pandigital <$80 tablet that also works great (but resistive touch screen). My main reasons for returning the product are listed below in case there are other folks on the "fence" right now as far as return dates are concerned. I think this will be a fine Android Table after the kinks are worked out but I suspect it was released too soon.
Reasons for returning:
1. I live on SS and had to save the $300 over a period of months. Can't take a chance on a product that had so many fails in only one week of ownership.
2. Constant loss of WiFi even when device was only a few feet (less than three) from the router. All other WiFi devices in my house work fine even at the furthest distance from the router in my house. I did try a different router (to improve streaming) but there was no change. At its best it would only go one room away before losing signal (small house, one wall, no metal between router and device).
3. Device would cause constant buffering after the HDMI cable was plugged into my TV.
4. Device caused constant buffering even when not using HDMI cable.
5. Lock ups. Freezes.
6. GPS didn't work (not that I would really use it....but still....I paid for it.)
7. Fear it would die after my return period had passed.
Again I think this will be a great product when the kinks are worked out. And I suspect there are plenty K1s out there working just fine right now. I think $300 is a LOW price for the K1 if everything worked. I will really miss it since I really liked it (even if this post makes it sound otherwise). I will consider buying another one after checking in at this forum now and then to see if things are better.
By a route obscure and lonely
haunted by ill angels only.I can relate to the on SS and counting pennies idea. I just got my K-1 two days ago after returning a Nook Tablet to Barnes and Noble. I got tired of "workarounds" to use the device as I saw fit. Last straw was when they did a "security update" that blocked all sideloading of apps. No complaints though, as I was on Lenovo site looking at the A-1 when I came across a deal for the K-1 at Staples. Took a few phone calls but got the last one anywhere within 100 miles. I don't think I'll be returning mine.

I haven't had it long enough to have everything figured out but Android Market recognized my account from my smartphone and setup some key paid applications without having to buy them again. Nice.
Weirdest thing so far is not being able to connect to my Lenovo X-60 laptop via the proprietary USB cable (running Linux Mint). It works when booted into Windows and I can send data to the K-1 from there, but so far I haven't figured out the workaround to connect in Linux.

I got my iphone4 today. No phone call to set up an appointment. I kust showed up and if they didn't have it at leaset they were goinhave to tell me to my face. They had mine and lots of others. I didn't ask but from the attitudes of everyone i assume they got all their pre-orders except the white one. Now there was a problem that ATT caused but the Best Buy rep handled it very professionally even though it took an hour and a half. So if you didn't get a call and are wondering my advice is to show up. Your luck may be work out as well as mine though but I hope this is encouraging to some. By the way my store was JAcksonville FL.
Hello from Florida... just got mine. First through door and first with one in hand. Loves it!!!

I received an iPad Mini today for my birthday
Alright so, as the subject says, I got a new iPad Mini today for my birthday. At first it was working perfectly. I was able to connect to the network, download a few apps and then all of a sudden, it lost connection. I tried multiple times to get it to connect again. Nothing. So I went online and tried different things; resetting network settings, resetting general settings but nothing worked. So I went on the Apple website and chatted with someone. They had me update the software (it starts off with 6.1.2 I think, so I updated to 6.1.3). After that, it worked perfectly again...for a while. Once again, I lost connection. Tried resetting the router, resetting everything again. But nothing worked. So I got on the Apple site again, and was told that it was a hardware issue and to exchange it. So I did, and the new one doesn't connect either. Now I'm ****** and about to say screw you Apple, but when the iPad was working I loved it too much to do so. Any suggestions or comments or solutions? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

hi, my iphone 4s got stollen today. is it possible to track?, hi, my iphone 4s got stollen today. is it possible to track? i had no tracking apps on my phone
If you have an iCloud account (or MobileMe) and had the Find My iPhone app activated, you can go to icloud.com and select the Find My iPhone widget. This will show you the location of the phone.
If you did not have the Find My iPhone turned on, maybe there is something that your carrier can do to triangulate the location, but as far as I know if you had no 3rd party software the only way to track the device is through the Find My iPhone portion of iCloud. -
I got home today and got a message on Messages or IMessage and the Messages app would not open i restarted my computer and it had a question mark as the icon for the app. Help!?!?! What does this meen how can i prevent further damage or fix damage delt

someone stole my ipad mini today; is there any way of retrieving photos although I didn't store them on icloud?
Not unless you recover it.
What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.
1. Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
2. Find my lost iPod Touch
3. AT&T. Sprint, and Verizon can block stolen phones/tablets
4. What-To-Do-When-Iphone-Is-Stolen
5. iCloud- Use Lost Mode
6. What to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen
7. 6 Ways to Track and Recover Your Lost/Stolen iPhone
8. Find My iPhone
9. Report Stolen iPad | Stolen Lost Found Online
It pays to be proactive by following the advice on using Find My Phone before you lose your device:
1. Find My iPhone
2. Setup your iDevice on iCloud

Updated ipad yesterday to 7.0.6 and now can't connect to internet. Tried cellular, Verizon and Comcast. Updated 2 iphone 5S and ipad mini today and all work fine. Any suggestions?
Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?
If "No," first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this. -
