IMACs showing as 2 week shipping down from 3 weeks in UK Store

no suggestion why, no rumour but just noticed!

I really do think you are expecting too much from Apple. They have shipped millions of iPads to thousands of outlets all over the world and 99% of people are getting them much earlier than promised. compare that performance to UK furniture stores for example. If you have been promised online delivery by 4th May you will almost certainly get it before then. Apple's philopsophy on delivery dates is to under-promise and over deliver. Obviously nothing is going to be delivered over the two bank holiday periods you are now facing but if I was a betting man I would expect you to receive your iPad by Thursday next week, or at the latest by the first business day after the bank holiday..
Whatever system they run in the stores is never going to please everyone - if each store in the world only gets a certain number of iPads a week then that means that they can only supply that many customers. I read somewhere that the production lines (plural) produce over 90 iPads a minute - not many companies can beat that.
Mine meanwhile was delivered too early for me to receive it as I am not due back in the UK until next week.....

Week Start Date from Week Number

How would I display the Week Start Date and Week Number for a range of dates.
required output:
weekno weekstartdate qty
11 8/03/04 50
12 15/3/04 100
13 22/3/04 75 etc

Do you have a start and end date and need it expanded to weeks ?
Let's say you have a table that include both the start and end dates
select to_char(ddate,'WW'), ddate
      from (select start_dt + rownum - 1 ddate
              from user_objects,
                   (select min( START_DATE ) as start_dt,
                           max( END_DATE ) as end_dt
                      from MY_TABLE
                      WHERE .... )
              where start_dt + rownum <= end_dt ) a
where to_char(ddate,'D') = '1'
/Of course, one of the problems with WEEK is interpretation. Week one does not start until the First Sunday of the year. Which may or may not be what you want

Week 37's from apple's online store shipping with 1.1.1?

as my topic title says. My touch shipped yesterday the 29th and its a week 37, so 2 things will it
a- have a crappy screen and
b- if it does have the crappy screen did apple just push the 1.1.1 update into the week 36s and 37s they are shipping to people who preordered?

Some are reporting their recent week 37 models look fine. It's possible Apple corrected the problem before they shipped. Does it matter exactly how?
When you get it just compare your screen against the test shots at the link below using the mini LCD screen test (available at the bottom of that page). If you aren't satisfied, return/exchange it.

Should iMessages sent from iPad or iMac show as sent messages on iPhone?

Should iMessages sent from iPad or iMac show as sent messages on iPhone?
So when having an iMessage conversation as the advert suggests. You can carry it on using any of your os devices, but only the messages sent to you appears on all the devices but the messages sent by you only appear on the device you sent it from.

Yes, if you have everything set up correctly and all of your devices are synced then that should be how it works.
Edit: I appologize, I should have read your question more thoroughly. If your devices are synced together, then the entire conversation should show up on all devices no matter which one you sent it from. If you are having trouble with this working, visit this thread and follow the instructions on page 1.

If the songs are greyed out, you may have set up automatic syncing with a different iTunes library.
Set your iPod to sync manually, as described here:

After syncing once with your current iTunes library, you can set it back to autimatic sync.

How can I change the shipping time from 1-2 weeks to 2 days

How can I change the shipping time from 1-2 weeks to 2 days. Thank you in advance.

Right you are, R_Kelly. Thanks, that did the trick. Ukgaurav also pointed out some choices in the Displays and Cursors Preferences with which I fine-tuned the tool cursor appearance.

Firefox 4 Beta has problem when printing shipping pages from Amazon Marketplace, it shows and prints strange symbols instead of the packing slip and the label. Do you have any idea why is that?

Well, I installed it 2 days ago and yesterday when I tried to print a packing slip and a label for Amazon customers it printed so many strange symbols that were nothing like what they are supposed to be, not even close. When I printed it with another browser it was all fine, so it is obviously a problem of the new version of my favorite browser. Probably something with the encoding, but since I'm not a computer geek, I cannot give more info. :(

'''If you go the the menu and click "Print Preview" then it will show normally, and will print correctly from there. You must do it this way the first time you try to print though, if you try to print (using the print command) and it is messed up, then it shows it messed up in the preview. It's not a cure, but works for now until this bug is fixed.'''

IMac dead, grey screen, won't start from disks

I'm sure this is going to go over familiar territory.   We have a housefull of Macs and have had for a long time, and I'm fairly used to hunting down issues. This particular one is a problem I've fortunately not seen before. I suspect a serious hardware problem, but only got a look at it once it was fairly advanced.
My teen son was using this computer, a 21" iMac, I think from 2007 (it was a hand me down from his Mac-savvy Grandma).   He says that it was freezing on him for the last week or two, and he'd have to restart. Then a couple of days ago when he restarted he got a folder icon with a ?, so he took the install discs and reinstalled the OS, which was 10.4.   Yes, at this point he'd already goofed, because he'd gone over his data, and though he had an external HD, he had not used it with Time Machine for several months. I don't know what he was thinking, but he's 16...he probably was not.
This was where I finally came in. Yes, get old Dad involved once an issue has reached the crisis stage. :-\
At that point his desktop showed a fresh install of 10.4, which we wanted to update at least, and possibly retrieve his last Time Machine, but I figured there was likely an underlying problem.   Disk utility showed that the disk needed repairing, but I figured that needed to be done from an install disk, and for good measure, I should probably run the Hardware Test as well.
Now things got complicated, because I have been unable to get the computer to start from any install disk I've tried. We have two sets of original install disks from this generation of iMacs (two similar computers), and complete install discs for 10.5 and 10.6, as well as Disk Doctor.   The computer refuses to start up from any of them, with either 'C' or 'D' held down, nor will it start up in Safe Mode. And now the fresh install of 10.4 has disappeared as well.
All that occurs on restart, after the 'bong' is a grey screen. If a disk is in the optical drive, there is a brief sound of it spinning up, then silence for a good while, maybe 2 mins, then the disk is spit out. Nothing more. I have zapped the PRAM or whatever it's called these days, with no change.
We did have an external DVD drive somewhere and I'd like to try that, in case there's a problem with the optical drive itself, but I am thinking this computer may have both disk and hardware issues.
Any advice welcome...thanks in advance!

Hi, sounds like the Hard Drive is dying, & that can prevent booting up.
Hold alt key on bootup, what shows as boot choices?
Have you unplugged all peripherals, cords, & AC power, let sit 30 minutes & try just with AC connected?
If you don't know the model, find the Serial# & use it on one of these sites, but don't post the Serial# here...

IMac showing 'no drives' on menubar eject button....what to do??....

My iMac suddenly started spitting out discs of any kind and after looking at the
menubar Superdrive eject item it shows 'no drives'.
This is confirmed in System Profiler and Disk Utility...it's just not there.
Before I lug this thing down to the local Apple Store and just get a new one
installed is there anything that I can do to confirm it's a drive issue and not
something gone haywire with the currently installed copy of Snow Leopard? (10.6.6).
I'm thinking maybe installing a new copy of the OS from an external drive... if
the Superdrive doesn't show then that WOULD confirm it's dead...yes?
Any other ideas gratefully received.

Choose Restart from the Apple menu. Or, just press the power button and choose Restart.

IMac Starts Up And Then Shuts Down ...

Hi ...
I'm hoping that someone out there can help me ...
I purchased an Apple 24" iMac about 3 years ago ...
It was pretty much working perfectly until 2 days ago ...
The last time it was fully operational I'd just switched the computer on for the day - opened iTunes - and was using the FINDER to find approx 600 MP3s to add to iTunes ...
Whilst the FINDER was searching for the MP3s the iMac froze ...
So I decided to RESTART the computer by holding the POWER BUTTON to shut the computer down ...
I gave the computer around 10 secs to shut down ...
Then when I pressed the POWER BUTTON to START the iMac again it reached the grey screen with the Apple logo and the rotating dial ...
The computer then started emitting an audible clicking sound as if it was searching for / organising data ...
The sound eventually stopped but the iMac froze on the grey screen ...
So again I decided to RESTART the computer by holding the POWER BUTTON to shut the computer down ...
I gave the computer around 10 secs to shut down ...
Then when I pressed the POWER BUTTON to START the iMac again it reached the grey screen with the Apple logo and the rotating dial ...
And froze again ...
I followed the instructions contained within the EVERYTHING MAC booklet ...
I tried holding the OPTION key whilst starting up ...
I tried holding down the COMMAND OPTION P and R keys to reset the PARAMETER RAM ...
I also tried holding down the D key whilst starting up to test the Apple Hardware ...
My iMac passed the Apple Hardware Test ...
However every time I now try to start the iMac it reaches the grey screen (Apple logo / rotating dial) and then shuts down after approx 1 minute ...
Is this simply a boot problem ? ...
What alternatives do I have to boot up / correct the problem ? ...
I'd be ever so grateful if someone out there could help walk me through alternative actions to take ...
Kind regards ...

Hello
Try target disk mode see if your mac shut down from this way , to do that
hold hon at start up "T" on key board just after startup sound until screen show a firewire logo as screen saver
and wait ..
if by chance you have a second mac you can use a fire wire cable to link it , in that way your mac is like an external hard drive , most easy way to recover data from it
Try start in single user mode , use COMANDE - S at start up
Try start in safe mode , use SHIFT key at start up
if in all case you mac shut down after 1 or 2 min of use , certenly mean a mother board and or powersupply problem
be sure to have perform SMC and PRAM reset at least 3 times each

Reasons for 2-3 weeks shipping delay!

I was intrested in fiding out why the shipping in the USA was 2-3 weeks for the iPad 2, so I did abit research and emailed a few tech-sites for some confirmation.
Anyway MacRumours and ElectricPig got back in contact, the reason for the 2-3 week shipping delay is becuase USA was allocated so many units of the iPad 2 and these units were mostly for the retails stores Apple, Walmart, Best Buy etc etc, hence no online pre order until the 11th.
Intresting to know is that in a reply email I got, I was told that Apple did not want to make the mistake of repeating last years poor international delayed launch! Because there are rival tablets coming out very soon (PlayBook April) Apple do not want disgruntled customers going elsewhere.
Thus the reason for the 2-3 week delay is down to the international launch of the iPad 2

I got in early with my online order because I won't wait in line for hours at a store to get it. My order was placed at 3:50am and at 4:20am I got my confirmation email telling me it will ship in 3 to 5 days and that's fine with me. I would also be upset if I tried to order online and got the 2 to 4 week time and now today it's 3 to 5 weeks. That's a little long for me and I would probably just not buy one at the 3 to 5 weeks and see what comes along from other companies. For me its a toy and not an important piece of equipment.
With all that said retail is all about supply and demand. They got the demand and I guess you can only make so many but you would think they could have been a little more prepared for the first day sales. It's like they announced the thing and then decided to make them. I never understood why they made us wait to order online. They could have taken those orders and given you a ship date after the release date and had a pretty good idea how many they would need to fill that part. I guess that's why they're such a successful company, because they know what they're doing even though we don't understand their thinking.

IMac 2011 Spring - SSD Drive - Shipping

I want to buy my new iMac with a SSD Drive, but, if i click it, ship goes from 4 days to 4-6 weeks? How can it be? I have to wait 6 weeks!? For only an SSD?

Luxamor wrote:
When I called Apple and asked why there was a 4-6 week delay caused by an SSD order, the rep said it was because they had to install a different type of motherboard (?) . So I ordered the 2 TB drive and decided to take advantage of the future Thunderbolt capabilities instead.
I just talked to a rep that said the same, but when I asked why, he said because the SSD was like a Macbook Air, it's built into the motherboard!!!
Is this a good thing? I'm not so sure! what if it fails when out of warranty, omg, the repair cost would be through the roof! Plus upgradability would be completely shot in the foot!
ARRGgg!!! The rep I talked to was with the business group division, not sure if that would make any difference on validity of his statement.
Can anyone confirm this? If so I may well cancel and get the standard w/o and look to upgrade it later.

IMac shows it is connected, but internet / airdrop don't work

This problem started to occur since yesterday. And I have no clue why. The only thing that I have been doing (all week) is writing an essay on my iMac. I do know it installed the latest OS X update recently (Mavericks 10.9.5). Anyway, this is how the problem goes:
My iMac shows that it is connected (the wifi bar at the top is full, it shows that it is connected to my home netwerk). However, when I try to browse the internet the connection keeps timing out. Even when I try to send a document through AirDrop over WiFi (to my MacBook Air) it wouldn't work. Sometimes it will send documents up to 5 or 25 percent, but then the connection times out again and it'll stop. Mind you: Yes the connection (apparently) times out, but the wifi bar at the top of my screen still shows full connection. It helps when I reboot my iMac, I then have another full 1 or 2 minutes to browse before it times out again....
I don't believe it's a problem with my home network, since my MacBook Air still connects to the internet. I also tried the Wireless Diagnostic tool, but it would say I'm all fine since there is an internet connection. What to do... What to do...?

Hey there Modyg,
From the information in your post, it seems like you may be experiencing a software issue that is affecting your connections on your iMac. Here is an article that can outline for you some basic software troubleshooting to help you address this issue:

I used Target mode to transfer files to a new iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from an older Dual core Intel machine (EMC 2105) also on 10.6.8. but originally Tiger 10.4. The operation was successful and I ejected the disk icon from the new machine and po

IS THE SITUATION HOPELESS
I used Target mode to transfer files to a new i7 iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from an older Dual core Intel machine (EMC 2105) also on 10.6.8. but originally Tiger 10.4. The operation was successful and I ejected the disk icon from the new machine and powered down the old machine. When this was restarted the next day there was a grey screen with flashing Mac symbol alternating with a 'no entry' sign and occasionally a question mark.Keyboard and mouse were unusable so k inserted the original instal disc (No.1 for 10.4. with installer 1.0.4) which came with the machine in 2006 in an attempt to boot from this. The ensuing window said this was not possible and now it cannot be ejected.I have tried everything ! It offers Disk Utility and other options like Terminal but that doesn't work either.I 'repaired disk' and that was pronounced o.k. None of the various keystrokes at start up will work, and the computer will only offer the installer disc continually.The only option would seem to be is to erase the hard drive completely from the disc in the machine.I don't want to do this as there is still material which I need to recover. I think the drive has in some way been corrupted by using it in target mode, and I don't know if there are any other options to try.
Please tell me how to get this disc to eject !

Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

How can I get my RSS feeds to show up on my iOS devices from iCloud?

How can I get my RSS feeds to show up on my iOS devices from iCloud? The RSS feeds now show up just fine on my iMac.
On my iMac the appear in a category at the same level as In Box, Sent, etc. However the term RSS is in lighter grey like Mailboxes, On My Mac, Reminders. I use Snow Leopard 10.7.5. Any help will be appreciated as I'd like to read the feeds on my iPad 2 and iPhone 5 when I'm away from home.
Thank you.

This is helpful, but how do you get both devices to communicate to this single calendar via the iCloud?...
You did not mention that it must be through iCloud. But then, it can't really do so if you want to maintain separate Apple IDs.
So you just set up an additional calendar on your devices.
iPads, iPhone, Macs can show multiple calendars simultaneously. I have my work calendar and several personal calendars all showing simultaneously on my iPad, Mac Mini and Macbook Pro. In the case of my client, they didn't need multiple calendars. They just were going to use the one shared calendar. But I did setup the shared Google calendar and separate personal caldendars on their iPhones. (e.g.: Husband's iPhone = husband's personal Mac Cal + shared Google Calendar. Wife's iPhone = wife's personal Outlook for Windows Cal + shared Google Calendar.)
