IMac 27" i5 backorder status

I ordered the above iMac yesterday (10-2) and received an email tonight that the item is now on backorder. A one to two week backorder period was estimated. How accurate is this based on actual experience? I am disappointed that there was no mention of the backorder status when I purchased the machine -- the omission of this fact is borderline false advertisement especially coupled with the one day estimate for release from warehouse. When ordering a 2,000 dollar piece of equipment like this, you need to be as transparent as you can throughout the ordering process. Please let me know, thanks.

Does your local store have the item instock?

Installing Yosemite on iMac 2013 hangs with status bar midway

Trying to install Yosemite, but screen just displays a white screen with apple logo and the status bar is around 50 %
been running for about 4.5 hrs, will leave overnight, but then what if no joy.
I Thought that Apple was good over these types of things, it is a Apple iMac 27" 2012 machine with 8Gb Ram.
thanks
ian

If you use the power button to shut down and then restart does it boot?  menu/About This Mac - what is installed?
Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
Revert to a Previous OS X - Yosemite
Revert Yosemite to Mavericks
If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

Backorder status in 11i

Is there any other ways to find or identify backordered order line in
11.5.2 than look for order line status = Awaiting Shipping and trying to
a open Pick Wave Move Order from Inventory and Move Orders?
When backorder is created from Ship Confirm, one might guess that
splitted order line where first one 2.1 is shipped and 2.2 is Awaiting
Shipping + open move order in Inventory, means actually a back order.
But if order line is only pick released at the very first time and there is
no stock for that item, order line status is Awaiting Shipping and open
Pick Wave Move Order exists in Inventory. Is there any other status
information available concerning backorders? I did not find any from
Workflow Monitor, which might be because Picking is not Workflow
enabled. Any ideas?

Hi bharat,

IMac Keeps Wi-Fi but looses Internet

Can anyone help with this as it's driving me crazy. my new iMac keeps loosing it's Internet connection even though it remains connected to the Modem Router and reports great signal strength with the Wi-Fi signal.
A Bit of Background Info
3 days ago I bought a new 27" iMac this is the 3.1GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 model and currently has 4GB of RAM which I'll be updating to 16GB in a couple fo days. This machine came pre-installed with Lion.
I bought this to replace my older iMac a 2006 model which is running Snow Leopard. I also have a MBP which is around 6 months old (I bought it just before Lion was released) and this also has Snow Leopard on it. On top of this I have an iPhone 4 and my wife has an iPhone 3G.
All of these computers and phones connect to my Wi-Fi network which uses a Belkin N300 Wireless Modem Router. This router itself is only about 3 weeks old and replaced a much older Netgear one that just failed one day.
When I was setting up the new iMac I used Migration Assistant to move accounts, documents, settings, everything from the old Snow Leopard iMac to the new Lion iMac.There were a few problems at first in doing this which may or may not be the cause of the problem I'm now experiencing. I'm going from memory here so I'm not 100% sure of the precise details but I'm pretty sure it went something like this:
1. Turned on new iMac for the first time and was prompted to add it to my Wireless Network which I did.
2. Connected a CAT5 cable between both Macs
3. Ran Migration Assistant but it failed to detect the old iMac
4. Disconnected the CAT5 cable and tried again, still failed to detect the old iMac
5. Reconnected the CAT5 but ran Migration Assitant first on the old iMac before running it on the new one. The new iMac then found the old one and the transfer began.
6. After an hour or so noticed that the transfer time was HUGE, like around 22hrs and realised that it must be trying to send it over Wi-Fi and not CAT5.
7. Aborted the migration but then both iMacs completely crashed and had to be rebooted by holding down the power button.
8. Rebooted new iMac but chose not to set-up Wi-Fi first and re-ran migration assistant with CAT5 cable attached. Transfer then worked taking around 3hrs.
9. On completion got a report saying that two programs hadn't been copied because they weren't compatible with Lion but both of these were programs I had previously uninstalled on the old iMac and this message was just referring to left over folders that hadn't been deleted.
10. Added the new iMac to my Wi-Fi network.
The Problem
The Modem Router is in the same room as the iMac (and all the other computers and phones for that matter) and is around 3 meters away from it with just a TV in between them and as such the Wi-Fi signal strength is always very strong on the new iMac (and all devices). However several times a day the new iMac just stops being able to access the Internet yet it remains connected to the Wi-Fi network. This happens whether I'm using the Internet on the new iMac at that time like surfing the web or downloading files or if I've just left the iMac on but am not using it. The cure is always the same and that is to right click on the Wi-Fi signal icon at the top of the screen, select Turn Off Wi-Fi and then turn it back on again. The length of time that I have working Interent on the new iMac can be a few minutes or a few hours it just seems pretty random.
When I do loose the Internet on the new iMac all the other computers and phones can still access the Internet and if I can still log into the router ON the new iMac and the routers status shows that it is still connected to the Internet. So the new iMac is connected to the router via Wi-Fi, the router is connected to the Internet but for some reason the new iMac just isn't getting the Internet anymore but if I turn Wi-Fi off and back on again on the new iMac it starts working again!
Things I've Tried
All the following are things I've tried without success.
1. Reboot the new iMac
2. Reboot the router
3. Turned of Wi-Fi on the new iMac, deleted my network from it's preferred network list, deleted all Airport passwords from my Keychain
I did notice the first time I did this that I had two Airport passwords listed under both Login and System (possibly caused when I first added the new iMac to the network before the successful migration?) but I deleted all of them and when I connected the iMac back to the network I now have one listed under Login and one under System
4. Added a new Network Location
5. Turned off Firewall on the router
6. Turned off Firewall on the iMac
7. I tried to use a Manual IP address but could not get this to work at all. If I used "DHCP with manual IP address” in Network > Advanced > TCP/IP settings and entered the same IP address that was automatically assigned to the iMac, 192.168.2.7, then it wouldn't even connect to the router at all. Setting it back to auto would make things work again but obviously still resulting in the dropped Internet connection.
Have I got a dud iMac, is there something I've missed, something else I can try?

Order status in Backorderd. how to get it to "Shipped" status

Hi Friends,
I am new to Order Management(12.1.3). Initially trying to learn the O2C process. As part of that I am using the vision instance
1> Created the Sales order
2> Booked the Sales order
3> Trying to Release the Sales order. The order line status has gone to the "Backordered" status.
On reading I have understood that "Backordered" is a status when the inventory does not have the items. But the availability shows the items. Also when I create the sales orders some of the dates are defaulted to 31-DEC-2012. Can someone help how I can resolve this. I mean how can I restock the inventory. Also what is causing the dates to appear in that way.
Thanks in advance

You need to have some stock to be able to pick release and subsequently ship confirm the order.
If you don't have any stock, you may consider performing miscellaneous receipt transaction.

Notified washer was on backorder on the day of deliver!!!

We ordered a Whirlpool front loading washer online on Wed. December 31. It told us the delivery date would be today Fri Jan 2. The email confirmation stated "confirmed appointment date January 2". It said someone would contact us by 9PM the night before the appointment to schedule delivery time. No one called that night, although that didn't surprise me since it was New Years Day. The delivery person called around 8:30 AM today to advise the deliery time would be sometime this afternoon. He then called back about 30 minutes later to say that the washer was on backorder. I called customer service to complain on why i wasn't notified of the backorder status when the order was placed, and I was advised "it never tells you when the item is on backorder".
They are now telling me the washer can not be available untill Wednesday January 7, but the system won't let them even enter a delivery date, so we still have no idea when it will be here.
This is a huge problem as our washer has been broken since December 15. We have been fighting with Lowes over an extended warranty claim for 2 weeks - they could not get any one to make the repair and ultimately agreed to reimburse us for the cost of the old one. So now after a horrendous customer service situation with Lowes we are running into another one with Best Buy.

Good afternoon wolfie72,
Having been out of a washer since December 15th, I can imagine how relieved you must have been to finally be receiving a working washer. It is truly regrettable to hear of your troubles with Lowe's, as well as the backorder issue you encountered when you ordered your replacement washer from us.
I am sorry that you were not made aware of the backorder until the day of your delivery. I'm sure this was not only greatly disappointing, but also frustrating. It is disheartening that this ultimately led to you canceling your order with us.
While I'm glad to hear you should have received your replacement washer by now, I'm discouraged to find it wasn't with us. I hope that in the future you will trust us with an appliance purchase should one need replacing or you feel like upgrading. Thank you for taking the time to share this experience with us. I can assure you that it has not gone unnoticed.
Please let me know if you should have any questions!
Sincerely,

How to share iMac WiFi Internet connection without a router

I would like to know if I can link my iPod Touch (new one) to my iMac so that share my internet connection via wi-fi via Airport at home without a router.
I have tried to like my ipod touch to iMac by turning airport and setting up a new network, the ipod touch is able to pick up the wireless signal of my iMac ant the Airport status bar shows an arrow out which mean that airport is sending signal out but for some reason when I try to use Safari or Mail in get the following error message "cannot Open Page Page, Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet"
Also when when scanning for wireless signal with my iMac I am able to pickup my neighbours wireless signal while my iPod Touch is only able to pickup my iMac airport wireless signal.
What I am missing ?

1. Open System Preferences
2. Go to 'Sharing'
3. Click on 'Internet Sharing' (leave the box unchecked for now).
4. From 'Share your connection from' choose 'Built-in Ethernet'
5. From 'To computers using' check the 'Airport' box
6. Open 'AirPort Options' (bottom right), name the network. (Once it all works, go back and assign a password).
7. Now, check 'Internet Sharing' box and turn on AirPort. The AirPort sign on the iMac menu should turn into an arrow.

Slow wifi speeds with imac 3.06ghz

Hello,
So I just got my new imac 3.06ghz with 2gb of ram and I have noticed the internet speed when using wifi is extremely slow. Currently I am using a linksys wrt54G router with time warner cable. If I have my old 1st gen macbook side by side with my imac the macbook shows full signal strength on the airport and the imac shows only a few bars. If I run a speed test with them both the macbook downloads at around 1.5mb and the imac gets a blazing 51k.
Weird symptom on the imac is the blue status bar starts to load in safari, it gets about 3/4 through and then freezes and sits at 3/4 done for a few minutes. During this time images and text on the site slowly start to show up, just like if you were back on a dialup connection.
Troubleshooting that I have done:
reset smc and pram
erase and install
downloaded all available software updates
changed the channel that the router is broadcasting on
- router security is using wep and mixed b&g
- other devices that work fast with a wireless connection on the router are an iphone, xbox 360 and nintendo ds
* even tried testing with win xp and bootcamp but I haven't figured out how to get windows to recognize the wireless card yet
So i'm at the point where I'm assuming this is a hardware issue, maybe the airport antenna?
Any other suggestions?

Everyone on here that is experiencing these wifi issues with their new iMacs NEEDS to call Apple and get this elevated. I'm out of the country right now but I'm in the middle of troubleshooting this issue with Apple. I've spoken with several techs and most don't read this forum and are unaware of any widespread wifi issue with the iMacs. When I return home I will be continuing my troubleshooting with Apple on this issue. My symptoms are very similar to the ones posted in several recent threads on this issue. So far it is pointing to a software problem but I can't rule out the hardware yet. However using BootCamp I can launch Windows Vista on the same machine and surf the internet at high speed through the same Time Capsule. Also all other PC's on my home network are connecting to the Time Capsule at high speed with no hiccups. I didn't notice the problem until all the updates were loaded onto my new iMac which I received July 18th.

IMac Sleep problems. Mac gets stuck in sleep mode

My iMac has been having Sleep issues for a couple of months now. At First when you put it to sleep, you could hear it was still on. It would take about 15 minutes for it to go to sleep. During this time you could not wake it even by moving the mouse or keyboard. The screen also remained blank.
If you didn’t touch the machine, it would sleep after 15 minutes. If you moved the mouse/keyboard, after 15 minutes it would load to the last position.
Now the problem has worsened. When you put it to sleep the same above happens except it never sleeps. After 15 minutes it wakes itself automatically with the screen remaining blank. Then after 10 minutes or so it will try to go to sleep on its own but you can still hear the machine is on. This process repeats itself continuously. If you try and wake the computer it can take 5 – 10 minutes to come out of the cycle and then it works.
Any ideas?

Delivery date changed 4 times-called to ask what is going on and then best buy cancelled order

I ordered a 55 inch aquos with free ROKU stick for $599.00 on Sept. 22 (removed per forum guidlelines) and got a confirmed delivery of Sept. 26. Unfortunately, I received a call in the morning of the Sept. 26 and was told that delivery was pushed to Tues, Sept. 30.
On Monday, Sept. 29, I received an automated call informing me that the Tv will be delivered on Sept. 30 between 3:30 and 5:30. and I also received an email with the same information. Thirty minutes later I received another email stating that the delivery is again being pushed to Oct. 13. so I called customer service. I was told he can change the delivery date to Oct. 3 but call in the morning to confirm availability with warehouse.I called customer service on Sept. 30 to confirm availability and was assured that the Tv will be delivered on Oct. 3.
On Thursday Oct. 2nd, I received another email stating the order will not be delivered until Oct. 16. I remained calm and called customer service and after a very long hold time I was able to speak with a representative and again after a long hold to check what is going on, she informed me that the order is now cancelled since the item is discontinued. I told the representative that I already lost 3 days of work due to the delivery dates changing and since the TV has to be accepted by somebody 18 years or older I needed to be home. I asked if it is unreasonable to ask for the same exact TV but 1 size bigger since the 60 inch is available and in stock (but without the ROKU stick) but unfortunately I was told it is not possible. I asked to speak with a supervisor but they are all busy but she asked for my phone number so they can call me back in 20 min.. I waited but did not get a back from the supervisor the same day.
I called again today, Friday, Oct. 3 and I was assisted by a nice lady who after explaining my situation was sincere with her apology. She told me that she will call me back so she can speak with a supervisor about my situation. I asked her too if it is unreasonable to ask for the same exact TV but next size bigger since the one I was sold is no longer available and I lost 3 days of work due to the 3 changes in delivery dates. She affirmed that it is fair but have no authority to make decissions but will relay the history of the order to her superior so they can make a proper resolution.
After about 15 minutes I got a call back and was told that since the bigger TV is priced at 799.00 they will give me a 50.00 dsicount for the trouble. I declined the offer since I feel that $50.00 dollars for getting the run around and missing 3 days of work is not proper compensation and is an insult to any customer. I thanked her for trying and informed her that I am aware that it is not her fault and it is management who made this decission.
I sincerely feel that I should have been given the next size TV for the same price of my original purchase and I should have been given a ROKU stick (which I did not ask for) for my unpleasant experience.
We are $150.00 apart from getting a resolution but management feels like it is the right thing to do for cases like these. Being a best buy customer for many years, spending many thousand of dollars, I am puzzled why best buy would treat any customer the way they treated me. Please explain the policy so I can have a better understanding. The $150.00 difference can easily be recopued from my next purchase. In my opinion, it is not a very smart business practice to lose a customer this way. Again, please explain the policy to me so I can understand better.

Hello romcarlos1,
While unforeseen complications can cause unexpected delays, it seems something went wrong at every turn. Misinformation and multiple missed appointments would frustrate me too, and I can only imagine this frustration turned into aggravation with the poor service you describe. After pulling up your account, I noticed that has been two weeks since your TV purchase, and I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. I appreciate you allowing me the opportunity to explain what should have happened.
When your delivery day arrives, you should receive a call from us to narrow down the time frame to a 4-hour window. This is done because our delivery agent’s schedule isn’t fully determined until the day of service as our customer’s needs may change prior to the delivery date. These routes are then best optimized to fit the appointments scheduled for the day. The particular television you wished to purchase is quite popular, however, and due to high demand, it’s currently on backorder in some areas of the country. This may explain why your delivery date was continuously pushed back unexpectedly, and why we needed to reschedule multiple times.
While in backordered status, however, an online order may be cancelled if you don’t wish to wait any longer and a different model may be purchase. Upon review of your order, I noticed that it was canceled upon your request. If you have since changed your mind and wish to wait for one to arrive, you may place a new order here.
It sounds like you wish to purchase a new TV entirely though, so I understand if you don’t wish to attempt a new order. While I cannot guarantee you a different outcome than the resolution already offered, I’d be glad to look into your case to see what other options may be available. Please know I have sent you a private message to collect further information from you.

Intermittent System Hang at Restart and Shutdown

Hi Everyone,
I finally got around to upgrading my old iMac G4 to Leopard yesterday, and almost immediately found a problem that's driving me nuts...
It started right after I installed Leopard from the DVD using Erase and Install, and updated to 10.5.7 using the combo updater. After the combo install completed successfully, I clicked "Restart," and was immediately left with a blank desktop (just the wallpaper, no icons, no menubar and no spinning pinwheel/spokes on the desktop as some others have seen) and the cursor (which is responsive). It looks like the Finder and Dock quit, and the restart or shutdown procedure then came to a halt. Some keyboard shortcuts still work, such as the ones to open the shut down dialog box, and the force quit box--but clicking any of the buttons does nothing. The keys for brightness, volume and eject also still work. The HD was quiet, and after about 5 mins I held in the power button to shut down. After restarting, I opened Console and found no log entries at the exact time I clicked Restart--in fact, nothing logged until the next power up.
I restarted and shut down a few times after that, some while using Software Update. About half of those times, the hang occurred, and if there were any other open apps, they did quit along with the Finder and Dock. I decided to reinstall 10.5, using Disk Utility on the DVD to write zeroes to the disk before reinstalling. From there, I applied the 10.5.7 combo update--and from there the problem started again, and still apparently without any log entries. It's worth mentioning that I tried Leopard on an external FW LaCie HD connected to this Mac a few months ago (ver. 10.5.4 then), and the problem existed then as it does now.
Other tidbits: The internal HD I'm using is less than a month old, and worked well with Tiger. The Mac passed the Apple Hardware Test on the original install CD. Disk Utility on the Leopard DVD found no problems and no permissions errors. I've used the Spotlight prefpane to stop it from indexing the HD, and I have Time Machine turned off. I've reset the PRAM. There are no peripherals attached other than the keyboard and mouse. There is no third party software installed (yet). I've tried looking at the forums on MacFixIt, and using google, but haven't found an answer. Any ideas?
Thanks for helping,
Eric

Update... After trying to find the source of the problem for a three weeks, including trying another Erase and Install using Kappy's suggestions, only to have the hang continue to occur repeatedly, I gave up and decided that Leopard has an unresolved bug that causes these symptoms on my old G4 iMac.. With the iMac going to Vintage status this month, I decided to reinstall Tiger on it, and it's future is now going to be life as a wireless print server.
I bought a new Mac Mini with 10.5.6 preinstalled. Since the new Mac has a lot of software installed that I won't use (print drivers, languages, Garageband, iWeb...), I did an Erase and Install on the first day, and used the Combo updater to go to 10.5.7. Within a few hours of use, with no 3rd party software installed, the hang I described happened again--the Mini showed the exact same symptoms as the old iMac. Thinking it may be something with the Combo updater, I did another Erase and Install, and this time used the Delta update to go to 10.5.7. Since then--about two weeks now--the hang has not returned.
As a side note to this, my parents own an Early 2008 iMac which shipped with 10.5.4 and was updated in March to 10.5.6 using the Combo updater. While helping them with it recently, it hung at restart--showing the same symptoms as my two Macs. This happened after they used it for about two months with no problems. I did an Erase and Install, and used Software Update to go to 10.5.7 (meaning the Combo updater was used). The hang hasn't happened again in the past two weeks.
With 3 different Macs now showing these symptoms, I'm convinced it's a Leopard problem, maybe something in the Combo updaters. I'm going to be updating my wife's Powerbook G4 to Leopard using a retail Leopard disc, and will have to use a Combo updater to bring it to 10.5.7. If the hang occurs with her Mac, I'll post a followup.

Delay in Shipment of Droid X

I ordered the Droid X from a Verizon store on August 1st and was told when I called customer service on the 2nd that my shipment date would be August 5th. I called today since I had received no shipment verification and was told that the shipment date has been pushed to the 23rd of August.
I am very much disappointed with the level of service provided by this company. I will never do any business with them again! Had I known or at least been told initially about the delay in shipment instead of being given false shipment dates I would of never purchased this phone. I eagerly await receiving my phone, but I don't expect to receive it anytime soon, but I do expect calling customer service everyday until I receive the item that I have already paid for.
The least they could of done is provided some incentive to Verizon customers for having them wait on receiving PAID orders instead of placing the blame on the manufacture and expecting customers to sit on their hands waiting for an item they have already paid for in full.
As soon as my contract is up with Verizon I intend to cancel my plan with them. Very bad experience! Will never do business with a group that provides false information to thier customers as Verizon!

This backorder crap is becoming rediculous, this is becoming a practice with all carriers... They under order (23 Devices per store on release day, are you serious) on the devices that they know should sale well and then tell you that you can order online with free next day delivery and recieve it in a day or two but after they took your order and your money they then report back that your order is on back order at least a few weeks and if you decide to cancel order you have to jump backwards through hoops to even get them to concider a refund.... This is exactly why I am not open to order a replacement for the volume issue because I would snap if I recieved a used unit with the same issue as the original device and possible other issues.. I paid for a new device and I do not want to trade my new device for a "Like New Device" after having device for so little time, and even better I will have to be on a backorder status to recieve a replacement, this is more reason for me to believe that the device I will recieve will be a used device not a new one.
And then to add insult to injury, they are starting to request customers to pay for device a second time to have a replacement sent out (And refunded after original device is returned) when the issue that the customer may be having is caused be the product that they bought that was flawed... I have no real complaints about my Droid X but the level of craziness dealing with the sales and replacement of this device is getting out of hand in my view.

Safari not loading pages

Since upgrading to OSX 10.5 Safari has failed to load certain sites e.g. www.engadget.com, these sites work perfectly in other web browsers on the same machine. The machine is a early Intel iMac.
In the status bar at the bottom of safari it simply says that the "cancelled opening the page", i suspect that some javascript may be the cause.
Any suggestions?
Nigel

Well, after a little research, I discovered that it might be Safari Stand which was causing problems. So I removed it and all is well. It's strange though, because Safari was working fine with SS all along--must be one of the recent security updates.

Pick release based on supply

I want the pick release of items to happen not on the basis of how much stock is actually present in the warehouse, but on the basis of supply to that warehouse. I mean, my client wants that the line should not be backordered when he does a pick release on Friday evening even if the item doesn't exist in that inventory.Instead, the line should proceed to form a delivery based on the assumption that the stock in that warehouse would get replenished on Saturday morning. Is it possible to map this in Apps?
Second query: If this is possible, then is it possible to get the lines to a backordered status in case the items do not arrive on Saturday morning(the timeline will be defined). This,obviously has to be a customization; any pointers would he helpful.

A pick release will only ever happen on the basis of available stock and I can't personally think of any customisations or workarounds to get you past that ...
However, dependent on the volume of picks you have, have you considered manually forming the lines into deliveries prior to the arrival of the stock? You can select all of the delivery detail lines for which you expect to receive stock on an order-by-order or customer-by-customer and scheduled ship date basis and mass assign/create deliveries prior to picking. Then on Saturday morning, after receiving the expected stock into your warehouse, you can pick release at the delivery level. Lines for which you have received stock will get pick released, those for which you have not will be both backordered and unassigned from the delivery.
Regards,
Jon
