I Said Personalize It, But I don't Think They listened

I recently ordered a 20GB ipod. But I'm no beginner, I've done it before, but not exactly this way.
I've never ordered the color display ipod before. I told it to personalize, (which I have done for other ipods [4G ipod, 2 ipod minis], with no problems) but i'm not sure if they did perosnalize it.
This is why: on the pother ipods I have ordered engraved, there has been the word Personalized next to the model.
However, on this ipod, there is not.
Since I am giving it as a gift, I do not want to open it.
1. I am going to wait until the recipient opens it to see if it has been personalized. (What other choice do I have?!)
2. If it turns out that it is not engraved, (and opened, of course, from the gift, although it would not be used) what should I do? How do I let Apple know and how do I get the correctly engraved one, send this one back, etc.?

For what it's worth, I just bought a color iPod and had it engraved, and the word 'personalized' didn't appear next to the model. You couldn't tell from the unopened box that it has been personalized, either. However, when I ordered it online, they checked and re-checked that they'd got my personalized text right.
Good luck!

Help! I tried calling Apple but I don't think they know what to do.

Just purchased my brand new macbook pro about 2 weeks ago. My internet keeps coming and going, and I know it's my internet provider because I am still geting internet on the ipod touch when the internet on my macbook pro is down. It happens every hour for about 5-10 mins, I can't get any internet connection, although I get all full bar strength. I have to constantly reconnect back to my router.
What is wrong and what can I do to fix this? This is a $2,000 laptop, and I'm about ready to take it back if it continues to act this way.
I do not have snow leopard. It came out about 2 days after I purchased this. I wonder if that would fix it.

Take it back to an Apple Store and get it check out on their network. If it works fine there, the problem is in your home network.

I'm a MB Pro beginner (after 25 years with PC). I have an Iomega ext HD, but how do get it indexed. I'm trying searches in Finder, and it says "searching Iomega drive" - but I don't think it's indexing. How do I force it to index?

Well I'm leaning the other way. I think my present MBP will be the last Apple product I buy.
With the way Apple is going, all New Mac computers are sealed unit that don't allow the user to upgrade them in any way. They are getting more expensive initially. They are impossible to fix, even by Apple. All the parts are either soldered to the Logic Board or glued inside the case parts. The add on warranty only covers manufacturing defects and is expensive. And to fix one out of waranty is close to if not more then a new system.
The only thing different in a Mac, and most other products Apple sells, is the operating system and the cases they come in. As for the OS both have their glitches and at this time there are no viruses that infect OS X. There is more software available for Windows. More choices as to what hardware you can use or upgrade to at a later date.
Mac computers are becoming large iPads or iPhones with built in keyboards.

HT1338 Yesterday, I purchased Mountain Lion OSX and tried to download it but I don't think it worked. How can I tell if I am using Mountain Lion and how do I get help if the download was unsuccessful?

Yesterday, I purchased Mountain Lion OSX and tried to download it but I don't think the download worked. How can I tell if I am using Mountain Lion and how do I get help if the download was unsuccessful?

Click your Apple menu icon top left corner of your screen.
From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
If Mountain Lion is installed, it will say: v10.8
If not, launch the App Store. From the App Store menu bar click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads
FYI .. for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.

Hi I am currently have a subscription to PS CC but I don't think I have the latest version. I believe this because I don't get the new welcome screen and don't have new features like the structure and color setting in the content aware patch tool. I have checked for updates and it tells me I have the current version. I check in PS I have version 14.2.1. I also have CS6 installed on my PC, could this be somehow be doing something or am I doing something wrong. Would anyone have any suggestions.

It's under "Find New Apps". You have to scroll down to see it.

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

K8N SLI-F so many problems....but I don't think it's the board....

Well you never know it could be the board...but here's the problems.
For the first and most annoying problem. If I change anything inside my case that deals with the power supply the computer won't start unless I unplug one of my hdd. Right now I only have the 2 pata's plugged in because my sata didn't work so it needs to be replaced and the 120 gb pata won't let the computer start. If the hdd is plugged in the computer will start for a second and then turn off by itself. It will only do this once then I have to switch the powersupply off from the back and then switch it back on after a few seconds. I think it has to do with my powersupply but right now its running a 550w real power psu.
The next problem is raid. I have the 2 160's running under a raid 0 configuration but when I try to install windows xp, and its at the Installing Devices, I get a number of boxes asking me if I want to install these drivers which aren't xp certified. The drivers deal with the nVidia raid and sata and pata controllers. So anyways the boxes aren't a problem until I get to one where my mouse and keyboard die but the computer is still running because that little thing on the xp setup keeps going back and forth. both keyboard nad mouse are usb. I think the power supply has something to do with these problems but I don't know. I just bought most of these parts. Any help is good!
-EDIT-
I fixed the problem in windows xp setup dealing with the raid and keyboard/mouse trouble. I downloaded new raid drivers from MSI and now it works. But...it crashes sometimes and as of yet I still haven't been able to log on to windows.
Thanks,
Rishi

Hi! Good news and some bad news. Bad news is that I think my power supply can't handle the load I'm giving it because the there are 3 12v rails and the amps on each aren't that high. The good news is that I fixed the raid problem. I was searching the net last night and found this site which told me everything I needed to know about fixing that damn raid problem. The reason my computer kept restarting after I installed windows xp on raid was because xp was installing the default windows disk controller drivers after the installation completed. Sooo, to fix this I had to slipstream my nvraid drivers to the windows xp setup cd and then install. It worked like a charm! Too bad my computer still randomly shuts off. It has got to be the power supply since I've checked if the board is getting shorted and all the connections etc... So I'm planning to buy a new power supply...any suggestions...I'd also only like 1x12v rail with atleast 32A. Otherwise, I'm good . Thanks to everyone that helped and if anyone has any more suggestions about the power feel free to let me know!
The site below told me how to fix the raid problem.

Looks like a network problem but I don't think that's it.

Okay so a co-worker (my boss actually) got an Ipod shuffle for Christmas. When he plugs it into the PC he get's a message that the Ipod on F:\ needs to be formatted. we've followed the steps and formatted it several times but following the steps only removes the path to the music, But here where I think a lot of the problem comes in, F is actually a networked drive that contains the mydocuments folder where the music is located, but whenever we plug the Ipod in it thinks it's the F drive so we loose the networked path and can't access it until we unplug the Ipod.
I would think the fix for this would be to change the drive letter under the drive management but it's not showing up there or in my computer. Is there a setting in advanced somewhere to tell it to assign the Ipod a different letter drive or something like that? I haven't had any luck finding it. Or am I on the wrong path to fix it?
Thanks
Russ

Thanks for the response. But as I said it wasn't showing up in the disk management. Anyway we did get it to show up in disk management after stopping and restarting the service (for some reason rebooting wasn't doing it for us though.)
Again Thanks again for the help.

TS4424 I still can't get my mail to work.I have reinstalled Security update and combo 3 times. About ready to call Apple but mI don't think I should pay for it!!!!

I can't my Apple mail to work. It started when I did an up date. When I went to use mail (the little stamp at bottom) it said, "you can't use this version of mail with this version of OS X. I looked on support and was told to solve the problem by downloading combo package and security update. Did it 3 times. I did everything. Still doesn't work. I even took everything mail out of applications and the library and did those two updates and still can't get it. Could I reinstall OS X Snow Leopard and would that affect any of my documents like i photo or i tunes? I don't want to loose anything! I have spent way too long on this problem. I feel like I own PC with windows again. Please help!!!!!! Frustated

No need to reinstall Snow. Try trashing all the Mail.apps you have. (But don't empty the trash yet!) Do a search for those. Reinstall Mail from the DVD in Optional Installs. This will put Mail 4.2 in Applications, then run the Combo Update, which will update Mail to 4.5, and then the Security Update again, in that order.

I have a cracked screen from a few months ago. A few days ago out of nowhere my spears won't work (ringing, speakerphone, music) apple told me I need new speakers but I don't think that can be it. Help?!

My phone has been working perfectly fine even after I dropped it and cracked the screen. Apple is saying this happened because of the cracked screen but that doesn't make sense. HELP!!! I don't have a warranty so I would have to pay $80 for new speakers :( apple *****

Your computer is under warranty. You can verify that here:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
You will need the serial number:

If the reseller will not fix it under warranty, get in touch with Apple directly, by email or phone.

I don't remember the answer to my security questions and I keep requesting that they be sent in an email but I don't think it's the right email. What can I do??

I want to buy a game but I have to verify my account. I don't remember the answers to my security questions and I think the answers are being sent to another email. What can I do? How can I change my answers or change my questions?? Or even just find out what my answers are??

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple

phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.

Trying to give a logo some 3D elements, but I don't think this is possible with Ai? Pictures inside.

Hello, I've set out to give this logo some 3D elements for some pop. I don't want to just extrude the thing as if it was a cylinder, I want to extrue the Triniti symbol, circles, as well as the black and green quadrants in some way. Not exactly sure, but I'll figure that out later. Afterwards I will possibly be dropping the logo into Aftereffects and making some kind of animated 3D intro with it. Here is the logo:
So I took a png of the logo, auto traced the image in illustrator, and used the 3D extrude effect. This was the result:
Obviously not what I'm looking for. Even if I only extruded parts of the logo, the behavior of the 3D effect would never give me what I'm looking for. Looking at tutorials, the extude effect seems to only be good for text and non layered shapes.
What I'm trying to accomplish is something that I could see working just fine in some kind of CAD software like Solidworks. I would just select the features I want, and extrude them as I desired. I do have access that piece of software, but I feel like that is a wierd work around, and I would have problems when it came time to apply the proper colors, and when I would bring the logo back into after effects for animation.
I also tried dropping the logo into After Effects directly and did the whole "convert shapes from vector layer" and using ray tracing tried extruding it there, but I can only extrude the entire logo, not individual parts.
I'm stumped on a good way to go about what I want to do. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Divide the logo into groups (or layers to help AE later), and run an individual 3D Extrude (applying same rotation settings) on each group for better control.
Trinity symbol will be the toughest, because of weave. You can try a seperate chunk for the overlap and bring to front.
If you have trouble keeping the elements in register, make a dummy rectangle larger than the logo, and fill with none and copy into each group for a consistent bounding box.

It says my sim card is not supported but I don't think my Iphone4 is locked

It says my sim card is not supported when I put my tpg microsim in my iphone4, but I'm assured my iphone was not locked by the person I bought it from, who said they bought it from apple, and apple doesn't lock thier iphones

Casper,
Sounds like you got tricked by the person who assured you iPhone was bought from Apple.
Anyway, Hutchison Telecom owns the mobile carrier 3 and not Vodafone. If hutchison told you that only Apple can unlock your phone well that is incorrect, because my sister is with 3 and she had her iPhone unlocked by providing them the IMEI number, after a week or so she got an sms from them saying unlock is sucessful all she had to do was remove the 3 simcard and insert a different simcard and connect to itunes sync. If unlock is successful you should notice your new mobile carrier in iTunes summary, eject iphone power off and restart your iPhone.
I'm with O2 had mine unlocked just by filling in the unlock form provided by O2's website, 3 days later received text message that I can connect to iTunes and unlock, simple as that. Although I still have 14 months remaining on contract O2 provides this iPhone unlock service for free, but only Pay as Go customers need to pay £15.
Vodafone and 3 are quite doggy to customers and customer services is quite bad, every one has a different answer to unlocking iPhone either they say only Apple can unlock or you have to pay to get it unlocked. In your case try and find out which mobile carrier you are locked to, it can't be both Vodafone and 3. If it's Vodafone then you need to fill out a form on their site, takes about two weeks to get a reply and costs $25 / £15, (friend unlocked on Vodafone Pay as go).
I hope the information provided is helpful to you, do it the legitimate way and not jailbreak it.

The AVI Radeon X1900 XT video card in my Mac Pro Dual-Core went bad and I need to replace it. I found one that is $250 but I don't think that I need the gaming-type processor. I am using a 23" Apple Display. Are there lower cost options? -C

The Radeon X1900 XT video card went bad in my Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon. (I tried it with a good one at the office). I found one online that was $250. I don't need the gaming capacity of this card and was wondering if there were less expensive video cards that I could use in this machine. I run Adobe Creative Suites for graphics design and have a 23" Apply display. Thank you for any help that you can provide. -PretzelMcK

Then pick up the ATI 5770 AND upgrade to 10.6.8.
Same price for a good card that will work and helps to have 1GB VRAM.
There aren't any other real choices let alone less expensive.
Even the ebay links I had and not a lot of choices.

I Said Personalize It, But I don't Think They listened
