Iphone 5 - 64GB (APPLE BRAZIL) - DANGER!!!!

language: portugues (Brasil)
subject: customer service Brazil.
Boa noite,
ID CASE: 391104143
Protocolo ligação: 391059417
ID REPAIR: D81262649
etc.
Efetuei a compra do Iphone 5 no dia 22/12/2012 (excelente presente de NATAL), porém até a presente data 23/01/2013, não consegui utiliza-lo, nem um feedback concreto da Apple.
Pensando na Apple, ser uma empresa renomada, dando aos seus clientes uma atenção especial e aos seus produtos, onde em todos os produtos que obtive não tive problemas, infelizmente o problema com o aparelho Iphone 5 na leitura do nano SIM., agrava-se até a data de hoje.
Fora encaminhado a Apple Brasil, no dia 04/01/2013 e disponível para analise no dia 09/01/2013, onde fora concluido e desde o dia 10/01/2013, encontra-se para entrega.
Desde então, iniciou o processo:
Ao entrar em contato com a Apple, fui informado a entrar em contato com a transportadora, pois o aparelho fora entregue na mesma data (10/01/2013).
Ao entrar em contato com a transportadora, fui informado para entrar em contato com a Apple.
Após inúmeras tentativas de localização, fui informado que um responsável (Sr. Bruno) estaria tratando especialmente de meu problema.
Porém... fora solicitado uma semana para avaliar o ocorrido.
Após uma semana,
Recebi a informação da Apple, que o aparelho se "perdeu" no envio. Ninguem sabia onde foi parar meu aparelho.
Passada mais uma semana,
Recebi a informação de que estaria analisando o ocorrido porém, e caso a transportado não entregasse o aparelho até a data de hoje (23/01/2013) a Apple, sob autorização de vossa pessoa (Sr. Bruno) estaria providenciando um novo aparelho na caixa com todos os acessórios dentro de 7 dias (até 30/01/2013).
Passada mais uma outra semana:
Hoje, precisamente as 19:30, recebo uma ligação da Apple, informando que o aparelho não encontra com a transportadora, e a Apple não tem como repor um novo aparelho, e que meu aparelho antigo (testado) fora "destruído"
após análise. Fora dito que meu aparelho se encontra perdido pelo mundo, não tendo uma previsão de chegada ao Brasil. Logo, sem previsão para ter meu aparelho em perfeito estado.
Fora sugerido o envio do aparelho danificado (agora em bom estado) para minha pessoa na data de hoje, para que eu possa encaminhar aos USA para que seja feita a troca, porém não estou no endereço informado para a entrega. Assim como, um relatorio para que seja encaminhado a Apple USA, reportando todo o processo e o ocorrido durante este período.
Em todo o contato feito pela Apple, as informações não foram verdadeiras, onde o cliente está sendo enganado criando expectativas quanto ao recebimento do produto. Até quando isto acontecerá?
Fora proposto o reembolso no valor pago pelo aparelho, onde após mais de um mes sem poder utilizar, teria de aguardar aproximadamente mais 03 (três) semanas para que pudesse ter o dinheiro em minha conta.
Alguem saberia me informar:
Onde encontra-se meu Iphone?
E minha conta telefonica? Quem arcará com as despesas durante este período?
E a renovação do contrato com a operadora devido a aquisição do Iphone 5 "inutilizavel"?
Quem pagará a passagem para adquirir um novo aparelho?
Quem pagará a estadia e despesas?
Assim como possuo outros produtos Apple, o interessa é poder utilizar o aparelho em ótimo estado e não o reembolso.
Sei do valor da marca Apple, e gostaria de uma solução o mais breve possível.
Porém, o posicionamento e as tratativas junto ao cliente trazendo expectativas falsas, esta criando um desgaste ao processo de suporte/assistencia técnica e reparo da Apple Brasil. Infelizmente, não acredito mais nas informações que me são passadas.
Caso alguem encontre um Iphone, estarei no aguardo de um posicionamento concreto de alguma parte do mundo
Caso queiram encaminhar vosso aparelho para análise, reparo e devolução após "tantos" dias.
Att.
Fausto

warranty in most of the world is not rules set by apple or the place you bought it or ..
it's laws passed by your government
if a party violate that law you should take contact to whatever consumer protection agencies you have in your country

  • I have bought an iPhone 4S in Brazil and I would like to know if I can replace my old iPhone for a new one (iPhone 5S), at some Apple Store in USA, if I pay just the difference between both values.

    I have bought an iPhone 4S in Brazil and I would like to know if I can replace my old iPhone for a new one (iPhone 5S), at some Apple Store in USA, if I pay just the difference between both values.

    You're welcome.
    I would advise against that for the reasons I provided.
    Could I have my iPad 2 for the new one paying the difference between their values?
    No. Sell the existing yourself and use the proceeds to purchase a new iPad.

  • Hi there! I'm from Brazil and i'm going to spend my vocations in NYC. I herad that in the US Apple Store, they give you $250 credits on your old iphone. This is true? Even if I both my iphone here in Brazil?

    Apple does offer a trade-in program and a recycling program.
    For the recycling program: http://www.apple.com/recycling/
    For the trade-in program, contact the store in question.
    They may not accept iPhones from outside the US.
    The trade-in program requires the device to be fully functional.
    Frankly, you will get a better value by using other services or selling the device yourself.

  • I bought an iPhone 5 in Brazil, but i dropped it in the floor and now i need to fix it. is it possible to make in New York and how much would cost?

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.

  • Verizon iPhone 5 in Brazil - Terrible Signal

    I have a Verizon iPhone 5 and I'm in Brazil for my second time with this phone.  The signal is TERRIBLE.  I don't know if it's a Verizon problem or an iPhone problem, but it's driving me insane.  I have a very tough time getting any signal, and even when I have 4 bars and it says 3g, it chugs and can't even send out messages.  Here are some facts that I can give based upon other phones:
    iPhone 4 on ATT - Works with 3G and gets decent reception and good data speed
    iPhone 4S on ATT - Works with 3G, full bars, good speed for data
    Blackberry on ATT - Full bars with 3G
    Blackberry on Verizon - Multiple bars with 3G, reception is always better than my iphone.
    WHAT GIVES?  The iphone 5 on verizon is supposed to have the same GSM antennas as the rest of the iphone 5's (ATT, Sprint, etc).  This thing is practically useless here and neither Verizon nor Apple want to give me a straight answer.  The best answer that they can give me is to go get a local SIM card which I don't want to do for my own reasons.  Has anyone had any experience with the Verizon iPhone 5 in Brazil?  I'm wondering if it's simply my phone that's broken or if it's actually the Verizon model that won't work.  Thanks for any help on this one.

    I have a IPHONE 5 64 GB, and came with version 6.0, as updated to 6.1 the 3G signal TIM in Brazil stopped working, same problem reported with VODAFONE. When they started talking about this issue should have updated all versions, not just for the IPHONE 4S. I upgraded my iphone to version 6.1.2 and the problem continues. Can not connect to 3G signal only on EDGE. I have a Blackberry that takes place on the same 3G signal.
    APPLE have to solve it as soon as possible. It is impossible to use such a device without 3G signal.
    I already restored the network, the device restored, did all the procedures that the telephone company TIM guided me, but they claim it is the fault of APPLE.

  • I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store for the full amount, but  it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 4S 32Gb White AT&T, product part No. MC921LL/A, Serial No. C39GMLPWDTDC
    I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store (from Fifth Avenue, NY) for the full amount. Now it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T. I restored the phone several times, but I have not received "Congratulations your iPhone has been unlocked". Please activate my iPhone to work with different SIM cards
    Thanks,
    Best Wishes

    When did you buy it?
    Apple did not begin selling an unlocked version of the iPhone 4S in the US until 11/11/11. I believe it went on sale only through the online store at that time. I'm not sure if it's available at retail yet.
    What you purchased was a phone without a contract commitment. It is still locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason.  Return it and get your money back, then use that to purchase an unlocked phone.

  • I am unable to stream Netflix to my Iphone or Apple TV, from my wireless router . . . even though I am able to watch Netflix on my WII (also wireless) and desktop computer (not wireless).

    I am unable to stream Netflix to my Iphone or Apple TV, from my wireless router . . . even though I am able to watch Netflix on my WII (also wireless) and desktop computer (not wireless).
    On the Iphone and Apple TV I can connect to Netflix . . . it recognizes me and my account settings . . . and I can veiw all my recent programs and show titles, descriptions, etc..  But when I select one to watch I get a message saying:
    "ERROR A PROBLEM OCCURED WHILE PLAYING THIS ITEM. TRY AGAIN LATER, OR SELECT A DIFFERENT ITEM. GO TO WWW.NETFLIX.COM/SUPPORT FOR MORE INFORMATION. (139)
    Netflix support say there is nothing wrong on their end . . . that it is an Apple issue.  They see the request for the show, the devices are registered . . . but it shows 0 bandwidth to the device.
    My Apple TV did this when I first hooked it up a couple of weeks ago.  Then after a few days started working with Netflix, for no apparent change . . . now doesn't again for the past couple of days (I think that it auto restarted the other night after a virus scan).
    Very frustrating, and driving me nuts!  Has anyone else had and been able to resolve this problem?

    Troubleshooting
    Apple TV2 update one day and netflix is browsing but not launching the actual content (error 139)
    Ipad2 (another ios device) forces me to update netflix if I want to use it and I get the same error 139 on it.
    **** now I have two not ways not working where prior to some update it was fine.
    Nintendo Wii is still working ( mind you running an ancient version of netflix )  Dusted the Wii off and gave it to the kids use.  Now they are happy again...
    PC is also still working ( using some other flash client ) but that's just of interest, we're not going to be watching tv with that.
    My wife's iphone 4s is still working.  Odd.. still ios but for somereason I am not forced to update the version. So basically she could mirror stream up to the apple tv with it.  Nice feature of Ios5.  Later found out it is using 1.4 version of netflix.  The most useful thing out of that is that all 3 of the devices are Ios and it was actually the iphone with the 1.4 version of netflix that still worked!
    I heard from a friend who was on a different ISP he was still working so I took my appletv2 and ipad2 over to my brothers house who is on that same ISP as my friend and both started working.  So the ISP is involved too!
    Brought the appletv2 and ipad2 back to my house hoping it would maybe still work.  No dice   Broken again.
    Searched the appstore for a decent packet analyzer and there isn't really anything.  I was able to sniff the traffic with my PC and also on my juniper ssg5 confirmed that.  Turns out port 80 traffic is actually failing and authorization is not happening.  The other clients do not do this...
    Asked a buddy from work who used to work at the ISP if he could make a call to some one who might actually know what is going on.  He came back pretty quick and said yea they are trying really hard to get the beta patch in from Bluecoat asap. 
    So knowing that it was actually Netflix that changed when it hit 2.0 and in my case the ISP made the adjustment it's pretty safe to say this issue is going to be ongoing unless netflix changes again the way they authorize for licenses.
    So that's the summary of what went right down the troubleshooting path but I'll tell what what didn't
    2 calls to Netflix (useless... waste of time... they are too quick to blame anyone but themselves)
    1 call to apple support (support call was going to cost more than it cost for me to change ISPs)
    2 calls to ISP (through the normal means - regular support number)
    So why is this intermittantly working sometimes?  If you are lucky enough to authorize to an IP address that is not cached they voila you are going to get an authorization / a license to watch the show.  Some people report after defribulating their appletv (reseting, rebooting, dns changes, you name it) they get it working.  Over the past month we all seem to have got it working for some period of time only to lose it a day to two later.
    It's now been several days since the beta patch to the bluecoat and 4 of us who have been communicating on the issue appear to be online all at the same time for those several days and that is a good sign that we might be out of the woods on the issue.
    Hope this turns into something helpful for someone else out there.

  • Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts.  The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv.  How can I use my iphone to do the same?

    Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts.  The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv.  How can I use my iphone to do the same?

    Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.

  • How do I synch iPhone 4S, Apple Mail 3.6 and Gmail?

    I believe this is the simplest way to phrase this:
    I want everything that I do to my Gmail account, no matter where I do it (iPhone 4S, Apple Mail 3.6 on a MacBook Pro, and Gmail on the web) to synch across those three platforms.
    Now on to the more complicated part and multiple questions:
    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the only way for iPhone 4S, Apple Mail 3.6 and Gmail web to behave completely "in synch" is to use ONLY IMAP...and therefore, the first step I took was to DISABLE POP on Gmail web, and ENABLE IMAP on Gmail web.
    Problem #1: My Apple Mail account was originally set up as POP. Therefore, I created a "second" gmail account in Apple Mail, using the same username and password, but choosing to use IMAP rather than POP. So now MAILBOXES in Apple Mail has 2 "sub inboxes" under my Inbox, which I named "Gmail Pop (for archival purposes only)" and "Gmail - IMAP." There is also "DRAFTS" (unchanged), "SENT" (unchanged), and "TRASH" with 2 "sub trash cans" - Gmail Pop and Gmail IMAP.
    * Since POP is disabled, at this point is it safe to completely delete the entire POP account from my Apple Mail? If I do that, will "Gmail Pop" disappear as a "sub inbox" and "sub trash can"? I would like to have only 1 INBOX and TRASH under MAILBOX in Apple Mail.
    * Once I am ONLY using IMAP on my MacBrook Pro, what happens when I have no wireless / internet connection (for example, when I'm out of my condo and riding on the train)? Is there any way to actually download my Inbox, Drafts, Sent and Trash folders to Apple Mail on my Mac using only IMAP - so that I have the option to work offline?
    Problem #2: I figured out how to change the setting on my iPhone so that I can actually delete messages and not just archive them to "All Mail" on Gmail Web and make them disappear from the iPhone Inbox.  The issue is that on all 3 devices - iPhone 4S, Apple Mail 3.6 AND Gmail, with IMAP enabled I now have 3 "trash folders":  I'm not exactly sure where everything is going depending where it's deleted from, but I ONLY want it to go to TRASH (and not the weird [Gmail]Trash folder nor the newly created "Deleted Messages" option in Gmail Web) - regardless of how it's deleted.
    * How do I get rid of the [Gmail]Trash and Deleted Messages options across all 3 clients (iPhone, Apple Mail and Gmail web) - so that whether I'm running my thumb over the message in my Inbox and choosing "Delete" (iPhone version) / pressing the "Delete" button on my Mac (Apple Mail version) / checking the box next to the message in my inbox and then clicking the Trash icon that comes up (Gmail version) - so that no matter how I'm deleting my mail, all that happens is that it goes into just one Trash area (on all 3 clients) - so that it gets permanently deleted after 30 days....Basically, I don't want messages lingering in a bunch of different trash folders, where some are permanently deleted and some aren't - I just want 1 "centralized" trash area!
    Problem #3: In Apple Mail --> Mail --> Preferences --> Mailbox Behaviors: If I want the solutions for problem #1 and problem #2 to work, which boxes should be checked?  I don't really understand why you would or would not put everything on "the server"... nor do I understand what "server" they are talking about.
    Problem #4: Since I've started using IMAP on my Mac, my internet connection in general, as well as my Apple Mail, has slowed down quite a bit. Will this go away once I completely rid my computer of the POP files? 
    Problem #5: Doesn't it seem pretty simple that someone would want all the same things to happen to you whether you're using Gmail web, Apple Mail, or your iPhone? Why don't Google and Apple work together to make this a MUCH simpler process?

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

  • Only some of my photo's are syncing from iPhoto to my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.

    Only some of my photo's are syncing from iPhoto to my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.
    It may be my own fault due to learning Aperture and playing around with the locations of the Master Files.
    The thing I don't understand is that when in iPhoto all thumbnails of all photo's are able to be enlarged / edited etc. When a thumbnail is clicked on there is no gray triangle with an exclamation mark indicating that the link to the original photo can't be found. I would have thought this was ok for syncing to take place.
    When trying to sync through iTunes to my iPad for example (after some photo's have been synced) a window comes up saying "Some of your photos, including the photo “_MG_3820.jpg”, were not copied to the iPad “Mark Harlen’s iPad” because they cannot be displayed on your iPad".
    I thought this may be due to lack of memory space but my Apple TV (which has the same issue but not the same warning window) has over over 100 free GB's so that can't be it.
    When I did a test and re imported one photo that wasn't being synced to my other devices, that photo consequently was then synced so maybe it has something to do with the path through iPhoto to the original files.
    Is there any way I can re establish these links with out having to create an entire new iPhoto library from the originals (I have a lot of albums and have done a lot of editing etc and don't and want to have to do it all again).
    I look forward to you help and advice
    Mark

    Thanks for the advice but it didn't seem to work
    I've decided to try ditching iPhoto and orgainising, syncing my photo's to all devices from Aperture
    I have so far imported over 1200 photo's (relocating and renaming the master files as well) and find that when syncing through iTunes only 209 photo's are listed. The Projects/Albums are there but some indicate that there are 0 photo's in them when I know other wise (at least according to whats happing in Aperture)
    I'm starting to suspect it may be a computer problem
    Any thoughts?
    Regards
    Mark
    PS: Just after posting this I restarted my computer, went into iTunes and my Apple TV started to sync. It was now syncing 854 photo's not 209 as before.

  • My wirelessinternet speed seems to be fine, however, trying to play a 1 minute video from my iphone to apple tv via airplay is so slow. Any fixes?

    My wirelessinternet speed seems to be fine, however, trying to play a 1 minute video from my iphone to apple tv via airplay is so slow. Any fixes?

    >Any fixes?
    Don't use WiFi for streaming video.  It is even worse for AirPlay since you are using bandwidth twice as it sends data from the iOS device to the router and then from the router to ATV.  Use an wired connection to go to ATV.   Even the high end consumer grade WiFi equitment is not great at doing streaming video.

  • Can I stream from my iPhone to apple tv by bluetooth

    can I stream from my iPhone to apple tv by bluetooth
    We have a new SONY BRAVIA 32" in our RV how can I stream directly from my Iphone or ipad direct to the TV via Bluetooth?

    No you cannot.  The only Blutooth support for the ATV is keyboards.
    AirPlay requires the ATV and source (iPhone/iPad/computer) be on the same network, wired or wireless.

  • When sending video from my iphone to apple tv it says on screen it is doing it but it wont play on tv but audio works great

    when sending video from my iphone to apple tv it says on screen it is doing it but it wont play on tv but audio works great

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).
    I have created a User Tip to list Apps that have been tested with Video Airplay, if you have any Apps that you have tested please email me details and I'll add them to the User Tip.

    My wifi is not working. It has no indication. I am living in Indonesia but I bought my iphone from apple online store. Can anyone help me how to fix my problem?

    The No Service means there is a problem with cellular service. You mention wifi in your title. Which is it you are having trouble with? What happens when you switch on and off as you state in your post? Are you saying that wifi does not connect while at home either?
