IMac buy back program? Ideas? Just got a i7 2010 in January... And now the new ones have thunderbolt and 3.4 ghzs
As stated, I got an i7 2010 model in january, and the new iMacs just came out. Is there some kind of buy back program with apple? If not :/ . Anybody have ideas? (I also noticed the new maxed out is cheaper than the 2010s). Thanks everyone!
There's no buy back programme I've ever heard of.
The i7 you've got is still a pretty potent machine - does it do everything you want or do you need something that the new iMac's offer.
If you really want to replace it with one from the new range I reckon your best bet would be eBay. iMac's have a good resale value. Have a look here (UK site): http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=p4712.m570.l1311&_nkw=imac+27&_sacat=S ee-All-Categories

I just bought an ipad,not even 30 days ago, now the new one is coming out next week. can I exchange?
Has anyone heard if verizon will be offering an exchange policy like they did for the iphone? I haven't even had my ipad 30 days and now the new one is coming out next week. Is verizon going to screw it's customers or allow you to exchange for the new one?
Verizon is not even giving the $100 credit that Apple is giving if you bought within 14 days. I called and was told I had to pay a restocking fee of $70 plus a reactivation fee of $35 so I could exchange and get an Ipad 2 and pay $105 as basically a penalty instead fo getting a $100 credit.
So don't tell me Verizon is not screwing their Ipad customers who just bought an Ipad. -

Where can i buy a copy of iworks '06 for my 2005 macbook pro- or will the new one in the store work?
I've got a 2005 Macbook Pro and am hoping it is compatible with the newest version of Iworks. Even though it says for osx 10.4.7 or later, an app I tried that was supposed to work gave me the not compatible message as I tried to download it. I don't have the money to just throw around for an app that wont load, and I need it to keep my business running. Any insight as to the usability/compatiblity with the one in the store would be greatly appreciated for this old, computer challenged user, LOL!
DUH!!! Why didn't I think of that??? p.s. Say hello to Hannibal for me...

How do I de-authrorize an old computer? I can't access it because it got wet...I can't activate the new one until I deauthroize the old one...seems like a chicken and egg thing...?
Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us. -
Does anyone know of any in-store iPhone buy back programs? I have an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 3GS, and I'd like to see if I can get any money for them before I junk them or give them away to friends/family.
I called AT&T today to say i had just received my iPhone 5 friday and wanted to sell back my old ones. They gave me a ball park of $50-$80 for the 3GS and $120 and up for the 4. He said I could receive cash, in-store credit, or immediately put it towards a new phone. So I got in my car and drove 30 min to the closest AT&T. When I got there she quoted the 3GS at $60 and the 4 at about $135. "Deal, I'll just take the cash", I said. She told me they don't offer cash for iPhones, so I frustratedly and hesitantly told her to just apply the value to my bill. At least I get about 2 months free service right? Wrong. She said the only thing she could give me was an in-store credit for a phone or accessories. I explained to her that I just spoke to someone on the phone at their location and he said cash. She then asked me if she should go ahead and return them for credit. I said no and angrily described to her that I don't need a second iPhone 5, nor do I need a $190 gift card to spend on their huge selection of about 2 total iPhone 5 accessories. I thanked her for one of their employees wasting an hour of my time, and I left.
Has anyone had better luck anywhere else? I'd rather do it in-store so I can be given a value up front, instead of mailing it in on a quote, and then receiving far less in the long run based on someone's opinion of normal wear and tare.I second the Gazelle option. It couldn't be any easier. Yeah, you'll get more on Ebay or Craigslist, but I like the no hassle approach on Gazelle. You choose your phone, select the condition, print a label, and ship it to them. A few days later, you'll have money in your PayPal account. You can also get an Amazon gift card or they'll send you a check. If you don't have a box, they'll ship you one (postage already prepaid).

BB insurance and buy back program
1. I have the BB insurance and have used it once for a rapid exchange last month. Can I use it again since I just got the phone and have only dropped it this one time and the screen shattered?
2. Last time all my contacts were lost due to the service clerk spending more time talking to a co-worker than assiting me, How can I ensure that doesn't happen again?
3. I am due for a free upgrade next month should I wait to get new phone then? Will the buy back program still apply if the screen is shattered?1. Yes, the phone can be rapid-exchanged unlimited times as long as you are covered.
2. If you can still use the phone despite the cracked screen, back them upyourself. Android can sync your contacts to a google account, and I believe Apple can back them up via iTunes. That way you don't have to worry about someone else doing it or not.
3. You need to go ahead and have it rapid exchanged. Here is the relevant part of the policy for the buy back program:
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, NO WARRANTY, LOSS. You assume all obligations and liability with respect to the possession of the Device, and for its use, condition, and storage during the Plan Period. You will, at your own expense, maintain the Device in good condition and working order. You agree to comply with all requirements necessary to enforce all Device manufacturer warranty and service plan rights, and if the Device breaks while under manufacturer warranty or a service plan, you agree to cause the manufacturer or service plan issuer to perform the appropriate repairs before you initiate a claim for your Buy Back Amount pursuant to this Agreement. CWG and Best Buy will not be under any liability or obligation in any manner to provide service, maintenance, repairs, or parts for the Device. At all times prior to receipt of the Device by CWG, the risk of loss of the Device shall be on you. The risk of loss shall transfer to CWG upon acceptance of the Device by CWG or its assent following the testing described in Paragraph 9 -
If you get ur iPhone at best buy u can buy ur iPhone and get the free buy back program then get 50% of the RETAIL value of ur iPhone if u turn it in in 0-6 months and use that to buy the iPhone 5 in June. U may have to pay full retail if u want it but HELL if u bought it to begin with at the discounted rate (ie $199 or $299) you'll get more than u originally paid for! And it's FREE until like the 26th or something!
This is what I got from the program that you can return a phone and half back of the retail price in a certian period of time and use that to go towards a new phone; which I hope that it is true cuz I plan on getting the Iphone that way even though I do like the Droid Incredible I have wanted a iphone for a long time. So if this is not the way it is please someone leet me know me before Friday.

Bought a laptop before Buy Back program was free. I want to add it to my purchase.
How do I do this? It wouldn't make much sense to make me have to return it and then BUY it again for the buy back program. I called best buy customer service and they said I would have to do this.
Some stores won't require you to take the laptop in. Call your local store to see if they will do that for you. How about this: Best Buy allows you to return it and repurcahse it, letting you get the Buy Back option for free. How's that NOT post sale support?
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun. -
Questions about the Buy Back Program
If I purchased a phone today that costed $600 but $200 with new 2 year contract activation, would the Buy Back program money back percentages come from the $600 or $200?
Also in about 6 months if I decided to return the phone for another that costed (imaginary prices) $700 but $300 with a new 2 year contract, would the money I got back from the first phone go towards the new contract price ($300) or would I have to pay for the phone in full ($700)?
Thanks in advance.Crystallee,
Thank you for your kind replies to my question, but I'm still not getting it.
Please let me give a specific scenario that could happen with my situation.
I bought the Nexus s unlocked for full retail of $529.99 from my local retail Best Buy about 3 weeks ago. I also purchased the "Buy Back" program with it.
I then walked next door to the T-Mobile store with phone in hand and opened a non-contract "Even More Plus" month to month plan.
At that time my current line contract with AT&T had expired, so I had no early termination fee when I cancelled service to start with T-Mobile.
Now, If I decide to purchase a new phone four or five months down the road, my understanding from the sales associate at BB, is that I would give over my nexus to BB in exchange for a BB Gift card in the amount of 50% of what I paid originally, $529.99 for the Nexus s.
I could then proceed to open a new line of service with another carrier that BB sells, i.e. Sprint or Verizon and would only be liable for the new contract price for that new phone, and I would be able to use the Gift card from the nexus turn-in (Buy Back) to pay for the new phone on a new 2yr. contract.
That was the understanding I had from the BB sales associate, who I think was a lower level manager.
Let me know if I have misunderstood the "Buy Back" process as I've described it here.
Thank you again for your patience. My son would understand all of this. I'm getting too old! (lol) -
1/23/14 update erased a dll file and who knows what else. I had to restore my computer back several months to get the file back. I just got another update package. Is it safe to use?
Thank you. After two system restores and three program removals using the control panel I got itunes back. I would feel better if Apple would include items you don't need options in installs so that the constant checking for what is not there would not create problems. For me it was MobileMe associations. I never would have thought of Bonjour and (Quicktime - which I don't even use but did not remove just in case)
Again, Thanks!. -
just got Prosoft drive genius 3 software, and it's telling me that the external hard drive that i am using for my time machine back up drive needs to be defragmented. is it wise to do this or should i not??
Let's hope a couple things: that you have bootable clones of your drives also; that the backup drive for TimeMachine has over 3x capacity of the data you plan and are storing. I would also switch TM backup drives so you have a 2nd.
Fragmented free space affecting performance happens when the drive is too full which may mean there isn't enough free space for a full backup set.
1.5TB for backing up 500GB, while WD Green 3TB is $140 and WD Black 1.5TB is, about the same price.
I'd be worried about the integrity and directory, and whether you can afford to lose that drive. Defragging is also a very slow operation. the ideal: to just clone a drive, or start over with another drive and wait. cloning TM volumes has not been done or has it? SuperDuper hoped to but I don't think they or Bombich's CCC made it there.
Trouble with highly fragged is when free space gets to 20% normally, 1/3 or so though for TM volumes, and finding where and a chunk of space for the file being written. Does TM use large spare image files of like 2GB?
Best would be to ask in the TimeMachine section Snow Leopard
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.6_snow_leopard?view= discussions#/?tagSet=1009
where there are some good FAQ and tutorials, and people that know the ins-and-outs and shortcomings. -
The on/off button on my 6th gen iPod nano recently got spoilt and I sent it back to the shop for a repair/exchange a week ago. Now I have just found out about the new 7th gen iPod nano and I am wondering, can I get the new one as a replacement?
No. You can turn your 6G Nano in to be recycled at your local Apple Store for a 10% discount towards the purchase of a new one. Otherwise, your only other option would be to sell the iPod on Craigslist or eBay and use the proceeds from the sale towards the purchase of the new 7G nano.
