I recent got a Refurbished ibook for work waiting for it  shipped next week

This Friday that just past, on the email I got says Estimated Shipped By: MAY 16, 2006 Estimated Delivered By: MAY 23, 2006. Now the question why does it take almost 2 weeks ( counting this week coming up) for this thing to be delivered? I dont understand why if this is in thier warehouse as stated to me Friday that it takes this long to get here in Pa.
I got my Imac in 3 days and I got it on one of the busiest time around Chrismas week I dont understand it
Please lighting me

We don't work for Apple, this is a user-to-user forum. We might be able to share some similar recent experience, but we can't tell you what Apple's current operation is.
Did you customize anything? Add RAM or a bigger hard drive? Those modifications are done at the factory and things could be backed up a bit. The larger hard drives could be constrained right now. So, five to seven business days before it ships would be next week. You can't order overnight shipping from the factory in Asia, so it could take several days after that to get to your place.
Of course, we can't discuss rumors about unannounced products here, but the G4 iBook could be replaced at any moment by an Intel-based new computer. That could cause a delay in your order while you let Apple know if you want to cancel your order or accept one of the new computers.

  • I recently got an extension cord for my ipad charger and the first time I used it it worked and now when I plug it in to my ipad It doesn't do anything. What do I do?

    I think that we all understood what you meant. If the extension cord is no longer working, then return it.
    We are all trying to tell you that you can plug the power block into a standard household extension cord - using the short cord that came with the iPad - and there is no need for the extension cord that you bought.

    Buy one that is certified. Your current case might work without problems, and then might stop working in the future.  iOS 7 is especially "sensitive" to uncertified peripherals. With this iOS release they have started to clamp down on "pirate" peripherals.

    If it's a POP account and you set it up in Mail with the option to delete read messages from the server, then you can indeed no longer read it on the server. You may be able to restore the messages to the server if you also have IMAP access. Ask your mail service provider whether it's possible.

  • Recently got an Elite PRO for Free - I feel ripped off

    I recently got an X-Fi Elite PRO for FREE. The driver support is that lame I feel ripped off. Would rather have paid the money to get a prelude than have this in my machine. Going to see how much cash I can get for it on Ebay, hopefully enough to get a Prelude

    Then it's a good thing you decided to get the best premium-quality Macintosh computer that was available in your price range at the time you bought it. It should meet your needs for years to come.
    Everything you need is in the box except an External Backup Drive [recommended about 3x the size of your internal drive (or more)]. If you don't like the Web Browser, Mail or other tools they included, free with your computer, you can switch to different Apps for short money.
    Specialty Apps are available to do high-end professional-quality work such as magazine-cover photo editing and professional movie-making, along with hundreds of other tasks.
    And Apple has not given up on this product line. They continue to introduce new products. So when you have needs that are not being met by your current computer, there will be new models to choose from.

  • How do I return an unopened refurbished iBook for a complete refund?

    I ordered a refurbished 14 inch ibook a while ago and it has been sitting in an unopened box ever since. It cost about $1050. I bought this before the new intel MacBook's came out, and now that they are out, they are much better than the ibook's. Plus the iBook 14 inch is a weird ratio.
    How would i return my unopened ibook for a complete refund and only pay like 50 bucks more for a new macbook?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    It depends on the store you bought it from. Read the policies of the store you bought it from, if they are posted on the web. Your "awhile ago" doesn't tell us anything about the number of days. If you have no idea when you bought it, but bought it by credit card, you can usually call the store and ask them with your credit card number to verify when that was. Most stores I've seen have a time limit on returns. Some do not accept refurbished products back. It is best to check with the individual store.

  • I recently got an IPad Mini for my birthday, so I was charging it up today in my room and my chargers not worked since, I tried it in my dads IPhone 5 and still won't work. We tried it in various plug sockets but still won't work. It's a good IPad though?

    How do I get my IPad charger to work or shall I get a new charger? It's brand new so I don't see why it's not working??

    Get a new charger. You could've bent it when you were charging your ipad so it doesn't work, or maybe apple just gave you a bad one . Just use your dad's charger for now.

  • TS1398 I recently got a new screen for my iPhone 4s and now no wifi networks are showing up when I turn the wifi on.

    I tried resetting my networks and turning my phone on and off with the wifi turned on, but neither of it worked. I don't know what to do and I really need wifi on my phone for tomorrow.

    Did Apple install the new screen?  Or an Authorized Apple Service Provider?  If so, you should return to the location that replaced your screen to see if they didn't hook something up properly.
    If it wasn't an Authorized Apple Service Provider, or an Apple Retail store, You should take it back to them and discuss it with them.  In this case, Apple will likely not offer any replacement service as it was opened by an unauthorized third party.

  • I just recently got an Itunes account for the first time and tonight I made my first purchases tonight. One of the songs will only play four seconds of the entire thing. How do I fix this?

    I just purchased a song on itunes and for some reason only four seconds of the song will play. How do I fix it? This is super frustrating.

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history to contact iTunes Support : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • My mother and I share an iTunes account and library on our pc at home. I recently got a MacBook Pro for college and I want to put my music on my new laptop. What is the best way I should go about that?

    any help you guys can give would be great! I have a limited amount of time to do this.

    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder on your PC to /Music/ on your Mac.
    Then delete what you don't want.
    You will need to authorize yrou computer for the iTunes account yoru mother has.
    You should create & use your own iTunes account for any more purchases.
    You don't need to export anything and definitely don't need to (and shouldn't) convert anything.

  • AC Power Adapter issue with new (refurbished) ibook...

    I just got my refurbished ibook today and went to plug it in and test it, and then wanted to charge the battery on it. At first I thought it wasn't doing anything when I went to turn it on (it made the starting sound but the power button didn't turn on or anything), but then after trying a couple times, I noticed that the black screen had a faint image of an apple on it. I had the screen too far to the front for me to see it clearly (as it's an lcd screen) and later when setting my preferences, I had noticed the brightness was just too dim which I adjusted...
    So the power button never did glow when it was turned on (at least I didn't notice it after I got it booted up). My adapter's plug fits loosely in the socket on the laptop but still glows green, but all the time... Isn't it supposed to glow orange when charging??? Well I was setting up everything and did my power management settings as well, and as I have it set up to show me my battery level on the desktop, I was noticing that it was depleting (at what I would guess is a normal pace for my current settings), it started off around 83% and had gone down to 58% or so after about 1 and a half hours with highest settings basically. But my power adapter was plugged in the whole time... Shouldn't it be using my AC power and not the battery's?
    So I turned it off and now it is sitting there (hopefully charging), but that little green light on the adapter where it plugs into the laptop is just that, still green...
    Does all this mean that there is a problem with the power adapter and its ability to actually charge my laptop? I got this refurbished (from TigrfDirect) with a 1 year warranty (from Apple) so this should be covered, but as I just received the thing today, I really don't want to have to deal with a messed up AC Adapter...
    Also, I haven't even yet checked the battery itself to see what # it is and if it is one of the ones that is part of the recall or not... I would hate to have to do that and not have a working AC Adapter, though of course if the adapter is't working, I can't charge the thing anyways, so I guess I would have to wait another few weeks with dealing with Apple and the warranty issues anyways.
    I looked in the help section and the only suggestion they had for if your battery doesn't charge is to take it out and put it back in and then attach the adapter again. I guess I could do that at the same time I check on the battery's recall status, I just hate opening my computer up as soon as I get it. Also the battery cover is not totally flush with the rest of the case, one corner sticks up a bit, and I think it was a replaced item as it doesn't have the little LED lights that the computer says should be there to tell me how much the battery is charged (unless this is UNDER the cover for some reason, but the cover is bright white compared to the rest of the ibook coloring, so it seems as it was just a basic replacement cover used)...
    Ok, so thanks for any input you might have. I will let people know in a couple hours if the ibook has actually charged at all during that time or not...

    So I did the reset button thing and it didn't do anything at all... If I plug in the power adapter without the battery the laptop will not turn on at all, so I am guessing that it definitely is the adapter and will have to contact Apple to somehow get a new one. Oh great, tomorrow's Friday and isn't this a holiday weekend? Which means it will probably take even longer to get them to send me a replacement adapter... You think that buying a refurbished mac would mean that they would have tested out all the parts/components first before reselling it...
    And so while I was at it, I checked on my battery's model # and serial # and it is one of the ones on the recall list. I think I was right that it had been replaced (now that I know that the battery is part of the back cover) which would probably explain the recall battery as this is one of the older ibooks and should have been one of the lucky ones made before the ones on the list... I did get to see the lights (only 3 though) flash solid green for about 3 seconds when replacing the battery back into the laptop.
    One good thing did come out of this... As I was taking the keyboard out to find the computers serial # (I already filled out my form for the new battery), I was surprised to see an Airport card. Not that it would have surprised me too much in the first place except that it wasn't listed in the details/parts list when I bought the laptop. It was also listed that my laptop had a 10GB hard drive (while the picture on the website showed a 30GB one). The box it came in said 30GB as well, but I just dismissed that. I had went to see how much space I had left on the HD to see that it had 13.99GB and this is after any formatting, and the install of OS 10.2.8 including OS 9.2.2... So a few added bonuses to help make up for the fact that it is NOT is as good shape as I was expecting (or should be to even be sold as a refurb IMO), and the fact that the AC adapter is completely faulty.
    I just hope that I can get a new AC Adapter soon, so that I can at least be able use my laptop with some kind of power until the new replacement battery shows up. This must be some kind of terrible joke. I get the laptop to be able to use it for a few hours and then have it be without ANY kind of power for posibly up to 2 months? I seem to have the worst luck with Macs, which makes it strange as I have never had any problems with all the PC's I have ever used (and I started using computers when I was 4) but I have now had an imac die (possibly the HD), an Apple studio monitor start flashing on the screen possibly due to connector problems, and now this (and all within 2 months). I am almost ready to just give up, but I have spent too much time and money on all this mac stuff (and all for my obsession with OS X) to do it just yet.
    So please tell me macs aren't always this horrible, or else I will have to make up my own commercials where PCs are better because at least they turn on and boot up for more than 1 week (I think I had the imac working for about 5 days total before it would boot with errors).
    Or some kind soul could also mail me a working AC Adapter that would work with my ibook (if you happen to have a spare), so I could get to do more on it other than changing it's settings... I now only have 40% battery life left. I don't think I should even turn it on again as the boot up alone would drain away too much precious juice...
