Is it common to be played out by Apple?

Hi,
I am just wondering if it is common to be played out by Apple?
1. I made an order online, keyed in a different shipping address but after payment made it reflected as billing address.
          - Let's take this as me accidentally clicked on a wrong button that revert back the shipping address to billing address (which is highly unlikely).
2. I called Singapore Apple Store and they confirmed the delivery on 8th Feb 2013 between 12pm to 5pm (which I had indicated it) to my billing address. 5.35pm I made a called and enquire politely as I have waited 5 hours with no news. An operator re-affirmed that the order is in the process of delivery and mentioned that their courier company will contact me awhile later after they checked where is the location of the delivery currently.
3. At 8pm, there were no news nor call nor sms nor emails to notify and update me. 8 Bloody hours of waiting. I called back but all the offices and all available contacts are all closed. I managed to checked out the shipping company contact and it was closed. The time now is 8.36pm.
I am seriously doubting the kind of service that I am receiveing after the payment made. Is this a norm or am I the only unlucky one?
This order was supposed to be my younger brother's birthday's present today on 8th Feb 2013. Yes, Apple has ruined it. Thank you.

This sounds like an issue with the shipping company to me, not Apple's fault, so you'll have to talk to the shipping company. There's no way to know what the problem might have been. Perhaps the company tried to deliver but there was not one there to receive the package. Or perhaps they're just behind. The only way to know is to call the shipping company.
It's always risky, no matter who you are buying from, to order and count on a delivery being made on a specific day. There are too many things that can go wrong and very few companies can guarantee delivery.
Regards.

  • After updating iOS on my iPod touch 4th gen my Philips speaker dock DC290B/37 no longer charges the iPod.  It will play music but not charge, is there anyway to find out if Apple is working on an update/fix?

    after updating iOS on my iPod touch 4th gen my Philips speaker dock DC290B/37 no longer charges the iPod.  It will play music but not charge, is there anyway to find out if Apple is working on an update/fix?

    Try:
    - Reset the dock
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                 
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    Otherwise you are out of luck. Apple is not making any more update for the 4G.
    Also check with Phillips. Maybe they have an firmware update available

    If you add music videos to Up Next playlist, then go to look at the album cover playing screen, then go to add another song from different playlist, you no longer can see Up Next, just go to full screen mode button. Using remote app iPhone 5 to play out of iTunes. It looks like it works fine for regular music, but for music videos you can't see your up next unless you go back on the computer to change once you've left the screen. When using the remote app, you shouldn't need to go to iTunes on the PC to view or edit Up Next already added. See first image, you can hit upper right and get back to Up Next (second image). Third image is music video, where you can't get back to Up Next, just swap between full screen and not. I hoped 3.0.1 would have the answer, no luck!

    wow, very nice review Makes me want to get a vision for myself.

    I would love that feature. I can't stand useing my computer with a single wall paper anymore (I have 500 anime pics that i rotate between every 2 mins ) If you could make the vision rotate background every x minutes or every time the player is turned on, it would be totally amazeningly sweet!!!! (i might have to go out and buy one then :P)
    I just hope that creative has better firmware support with the vision than they have had with the touch.
    Once again, great review

  • How do I get the Apple tv to play out of my Bose speakers that has the typical white and red plug ins?  Do I need an "optical audio" cord (that is what is available as a plug in on the back of the Apple tv that has the red and the white on the other side?

    How do I get my speakers to play the Apple TV?  My TV is recognizing the Apple TV and the sound is playing out of the TV speakers, but even though I plug my speakers into my TV, it does not play what the TV speakers are playing.  Do I have to plg the speakers into the actual Apple TV unit?  If so, do I need an "optical audio" plug in?

    appletv play audio out of optical out of hdmi and the old alu one play out the RCA too
    the typical the white and red plug ins would be RCA if you have a atv2 (the black one) you cant use
    RCA as that is analog and optical and hdmi are digital
    you can get converters but some would be pricy and could cause delay between image and pictures for video

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Need Audio help!  Interview audio won't play out to tape.

    My voiceover and Soundtrack audio sounds great, but my interviews sound terrible when I play out to DV to record to the camera.
    I checked the item properties and noticed that all the good audio is at 44.1khz while the "bad" audio is at 48khz.
    What can I do to make this play out?
    Thanks!

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    What is the sequence's audio format? It should be 48 kHz as it's standard in video editing software.
    Did you capture audio interview from camcorder? What is the audio sampling format in audio menu? (32 or 48 kHz, 12 or 16 bit?)
    The audio mixdown render may resolve this problem but it's always a good thing to resample each audio file to match the sequence sample rate:48 kHz.

  • Headphones usage on Satellite A660-BT2G22 -sound plays out of the speakers

    When I plug headphones into my Satellite A660-BT2G22 Laptop the sound plays out of the speakers and the headphones.
    There has to be a way for me to make the sound play only through the headphones and I would really love that because I am going off to college soon and will have a roommate and I will want to listen to my own music and stuff and not force him to hear my stuff all the time.
    Please help?

    This notebook model is not known to me but check control panel and option for some audio manager there. On notebooks with Realtek sound card there is Realtek HD Audio manager.
    Check all options there, especially small folder symbol placed at the right top side. When you click on it connector settings window will be open. Enable auto popup dialog.
    Now, every time when headphones will be connected you can choose headphone as only device you want to use.
    Please check it out.

  • HT204291 Is it possibly to have iTunes music play out of both the computer and AppleTV while using Airplay Mirroring for the TV?

    Is it possibly to have iTunes music play out of both the computer and Apple TV while simultaneously using Airplay Mirroring to view the computer screen on the TV? Whenever I try, by clicking on 'computer' radial button for volume in iTunes Airplay, the TV automatically reverts to the Apple TV screen. I usually end up using preferences to 'bring back' the audio to the computert while leaving the picture on the tv, but this means i have to suffer from the inferior sound quality of my Macbook internal speakers.

  • Playing out an HD sequence to SD tape

    Hello,
    can someone help?
    I have an HD sequence ( 1920 x 1080, 1080i)which I am trying to play out to an SD tape (don't have an HD deck at mo).
    The playout seems to freeze on one shot but the audio is fine. It also seems to be letterboxed.
    Can someone suggest what I can do so it plays out normally (16:9) to SD tape?
    thanks

    You have to make a DV anamorphic sequence and put your edited HD sequence in that. It should not be letterboxed.
    The camera needs to be set to record DV anamorphic so it will play back properly in 16:9.
    Make sure everything in the sequence is rendered to full and that the audio is mixed down.

  • HDV won't play out to Z1u

    I'm having a tough time getting my HDV timeline to playout to a Sony Z1U HDV camera. I keep selecting View/external video/All frames and the Z1U screen stays blue. It won't even flicker. My sequence settings are

    editing timebase = 29.97
    field dominance = Upper (odd)

    #25 HDV external Monitor Viewing
    Shane's Stock Answer #25 - HDV external Monitor Viewing
    To view HDV on an external monitor in high definition you are going to need to purchase a capture card, like the ones Decklink (www.decklink.com) or AJA (www.aja.com) offer. They will both play out HDV in real time. The catch is that you cannot view this on a regular TV or NTSC monitor. Since this is HD, an HD monitor will be needed. HOWEVER, both cards are capable of down converting the signal so that it can be displayed on an SD monitor. This won't be color accurate
    The real reason why you can't monitor HDV through a Firewire camera is because Firewire HDV cameras don't decode incoming HDV streams and route them to their outputs like DV cameras do.
    Good options for you are the Matrox MXO2...$500...coupled with an HDTV. Or a Matrox MXO (DVI connection) coupled with an Apple 23" display gets you good quality.
    And there are the Decklink Intensity and Intensity PRO cards as well, and the AJA I/O Express...
    You can, however, view HDV out via firewire as DV...lowering the resolution to that of DV, but still viewable. This is not full quality nor should it be used to judge the quality of your footage or used to color correct to. This is just a way to view the footage on a large monitor.
    Here are some examples of some of the possibilities:
    - DV or HDV sequence output to an SDI signal on a third-party interface
    - An uncompressed NTSC or PAL sequence output to a DV FireWire output
    - An HDV sequence output to a DV FireWire output
    Sequence and output formats must have compatible frame rates. For example,
    sequences with a frame rate of 60, 30, or 24 fps can be output to a 30 fps device,
    but not to a 25 or 50 fps device.

  • Losing audio on long play out to tape

    FCP 4. I am playing out a 2 hour long project in two chunks onto two 63 minute Mini DV tapes on a Sony camcorder. After about 30 minutes into the first play out the audio starts coming in and out, then halfway through the second chunk it goes altogether and doesn't come back.
    Any thoughts?

    Hello Ned, and welcome to the Forums,
    Are your media drives all nice and clean and tidy? Are they getting very full? Are they Firewire drives? 400 or 800? This sounds like the drives aren't quite able to keep up with the layoff...
    One other note - have you upgraded your FCP 4 as much as it can go? IIRC FCP 4.5 HD was a free upgrade to FCP 4, and was quite a bit more stable.

  • When I switched computers my songs now cut off and don't play out.  How can I get my songs back to play fully that I purchased from ITunes over the past years?

    When I switched computers my songs now cut off and don't play out.  How can I get my songs back to play fully that I purchased from ITunes over the past years?

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • Does your music only play out of one speaker?

    I was only hearing music played out of the left channel, either with or without headphones and also when played through a dock. 
    I found the solution:
    Go to Settings : General : Accessibility and slide the L - R slider to the middle.  Now the music plays out of both the L and the R speakers.
    (If you tap the mono button there, then you will also hear sound out of both speakers, but you won't hear stereo effects, so don't do that).

    Yes, that is a helpful addition to this thread, but my solution has to do with the speakers and the headphones that are plugged into the iPhone, as well as the stereo effect coming out of the iPhone itself.  When the accessibility slider is not in the middle, then you only hear one channel of the stereo program whether fromt he iPhone or from plugged in speakers.
