Is the refurbished macbook qualified for the back to school event?

I'm a college student and want to buy a refurbished macbook online. Can I get the $100 gift card for the event of back to school? Thank you very much.

We're just users here - only Apple can tell you. The gift card is only good through the 21st, I believe. Try calling Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE. They should have the info that you're seeking.
Good luck,
Clinton

I've been charged in my credit card for the "Back to school Gift Card", Why?

I have recently bought my new MacBook Pro 13", that came with the "Back To school Gift Card". In received thre different invoices.
1) An invonice with all the accesories that I bought
2) An invonice with all the "extras" of my mac and the mac itself. (There they "subtract" the $100 from the gift card under "promotional savings"
3) An invonice with the gift card amount of $100.
On my personal bank account i have three different charges from the apple store. i double checked already.
Why is this happening? Will I get a refund at the end of the month or how does this work?

Ah, horse of a different color! I'd contact the store and ask for a refund. Here's a list of contact numbers.

Can I receive the Back to School $100 itunes giftcard if I buy a Mac from BestBuy/Future Shop?

When you buy a new qualifying Mac with Apple education pricing from June 16, 2011, through September 20, 2011, you’ll get a free $100 Back to School Card to use on the Mac App Store, the App Store, the iTunes Store, and the iBookstore.
Do you have to purchase the mac from an Apple store? Will this deal still apply if you purchase it from a seller such as Best Buy, Futureshop, etc...
I'm asking this because Best Buy offers MS Word for Home & Student for free with a purchase of a mac as well until September 30, 2011
Any help would be great! Thanks in advance:)

The $100 iTunes gift card is a promo being run specifically by Apple, so no a third-party vendor will not have the same promo. Bust Buy does like to match deals, so as tjk suggests, you should contact them and see if they can offer anything to match Apple's promo.

My late 2009 iMac 27 inch hard drive just failed and is being replaced. It did not qualify for call back but I am wondering if there is others with similar issue

As I stated my late 2009 iMac 27 inch hard drive failed and is being replaced.. I am being charged as machine does not qualify for the call back program..call backs are on 2011 machines.. However i am in shock that my segate internal iMac hard drive failed in less than two years.. are there others with similar issue? Also when I get machine back will new hard drive be stable .. How do I make sure my working environment is reliable.. I have all my data and work backed up and will be able to rebuild my system but I really do not want to have to go through this down the line again.

Just to update everyone and maybe help people down the road .... It has been a week of **** .... I may have finally solved a problem that I have seen a ton of people in all different types of discussions around the world having trouble with ...... I am going to upload some pictures of what I was getting in the beginning and it came out of no where .... I had the random pixel problem with my display and to make a long story short I came across an article two days ago regarding internal temperatures and fan speed ...... I kept reading about apples approach which is not the point ..... More importantly I dug deeper into temperature control and fan settings .... I discovered all kinds of software and there is only one in my eyes that can help anyone dealing with this display problem .... I will be honest, I do not have the money right now for anything extra and am barely getting by and that is why I kept at it ... I figured keep trying different things because a repair is out of the question ... http://www.crystalidea.com/macs-fan-control - This program has solved my problem - I get to adjust three internal temperatures inside my Imac and slowly but surely as the temperatures remained constant the display is fine .... Like new again .... I cant believe it ..... Turns out the ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB graphics card gets very hot causing it to not do what it is supposed to ..... Anyone that has any questions do not hesitate to contact me ...... I am going to upload some pics .... They are not that clear but if you are going through this you will recognize the images for sure - There was so many more variations but this should help out - Thanks to everyone that takes the time out to help people on this support site .... I want to send a shout out to The Art Of Sound .... He is the most knowledgeable Apple person I have ever come across and I am an Apple user for 20+ years

How do I apply for a Back to School 50$ itunes card?

Hello everyone,
I apologise in advance if I have posted this in the wrong section.
My step-mother recently visited the US for holiday and bought me a brand new iPad 3 from the apple store as a present because I am starting university in England in September. This was all about 2 weeks ago.
I recently found out that my situation meets the requirements to get a free $50 USD iTunes card to spend on apps for university (which I would find incredibly usefull!) and so I would like to know how I can get this card?
Thanks!
- David

Sorry, but you probably can't. The US program only applies to those who are enrolled or enrolling in a US university, so you can't apply for the US back-to-school program (and couldn't use the US-issued gift card in the UK anyway) and I believe that the UK program requires that you purchase from the UK Apple Store (the US program does). You can call the UK Apple Store and ask if there's any way a US-purchased iPad would qualify for the UK back-to-school program, but it's not likely.
Good luck.

Looking to buy a refurbished MacBook Pro for video editing. Need suggestions on what to look for.

Hey Everyone,
I already own a 2012 Mac Pro Desktop. I do some pretty advanced video editing on it, using FCPX and After Effects, with FXFactory and many other plugins.
I need to invest in a MacBook Pro so I can transfer my projects and edit at different locations.
I'm looking for a refurbished or used model to save some money where I can.
My budget is not too large, but I can probably manage $1,000 - $1,500
Can anyone suggest a good model (im guessing 2011-2012) and a good graphics card to look for, so it can handle this type of stuff. I will obviously max out my RAM also.
Thank you so much for all the suggestions in advance!!

Hey BobRzand OGELTHORPE
Thanks for your reply! BobRzJust looking to clarify.. When you said "Also, that's typically not on the 13" models but is on the 15" (or the 17..." were you referring to the onboard graphics memory? Should I stay away from a 13 inch? I'm going to follow OGELTHORP''sadvice and go for the 2011 model. The 13 inch are the most affordable and I've found ones with a 2.8GHz Processor that is right in my price range. Thanks again for your help guys!

Back to School Promo Questions

Hi I will be getting a Macbook during the back to school event, but I am wandering if anyone knows what date it might start this year, and if you can buy through that site during that time or have to go to the Apple store?

You can buy online and in the store. Nobody here would know when it would start.

When is the best time to buy a refurbished MacBook Pro?

I'm a new college student, and I'm looking to buy a Mac that will last me throughout college, at the best possible price.
I'm completely fine with purchasing a refurbished model, and right now I can get a large (for Apple, anyway) discount on a refurbished MacBook Pro, 13", 500GB, i5, with 4GB RAM. But I'm not sure if this will be able to suit my needs, or if I should opt for something a bit more expensive, even if that means I should wait.
I plan on installing Windows 7, with a 25% partition (I'll use Mac for my own personal things, but Windows for some functions).
I own an iPhone 5 and iPad 3 (WiFi), so I don't plan on taking it with me every day.
I live in Arizona, so the summer heat can be an issue.
I plan on using this MacBook Pro for at least 5 years.
So, I'd like to know:
Should I buy the AppleCare now, later, or not at all? I want to make sure it's covered in the event of damage or defects:
Should I wait to buy a refurbished model until after the new MacBook Pros are released later this year?
Should I opt for an i7 processor, since I plan on dual-booting with Windows 7? Does it make a noticeable difference, compared to the i5?
Will 500GB be enough space? I feel like it should be more than enough.
Should I wait until the new MacBook Prod are released, or should I take advantage of the college sale that's being offered?
Thank you for taking the time to help me out. :)

That's a perfect computer for your uses, and you won't have any problem. Also, if you need, you can add more RAM (looking at your specs, 16 GB of memory) and a hard drive (HDD or SSD, or even replace the optical drive to put a second HDD). I think it will be useful for 5 years or more.

It's important to buy AppleCare with a portable Mac. Near everything is soldered and repairs are expensive, so it's better to get it. You can get it at any moment during the first year of warranty, but note that accidental damages will void your warranty.

There's no need to wait for new MacBooks Pro, more when we don't know when they will be released. I don't think the refurbished MacBook Pro you want will be cheaper then.
ChungLing wrote:

There's a difference between an Intel Core i5 and a i7, but you will only note it if you have special needs, like using heavy apps that require a high CPU load. Most users are not going to use this type of applications. Also, if you need to use this type of apps, the 15-inch MacBook Pro is better.
ChungLing wrote:

For most users, 500 GB are enough and you will have hundreds of free GBs. If you don't have enough space, get an external drive. It's recommended to get one at least to make backups of your files.

The college sale will expire soon (the Back to School program), so buy it now

Back to School iPod promo with the Core 2 iMacs

Does any one know if apple is planning on allowing the core 2 iMacs to be apart of the back to school promo?
Under the terms and conditions they say "Products not listed in this chart are ineligible for a rebate". So does that mean that the core 2 counts?

Sorry........new iMac core 2 duo cant count for Back to School iPod promo....

Macbook Pro 13- Back to school offer 2011?

I have been holding out on purchasing the Macbook Pro 13 2011 model for while now due to
New OS
Back to school offer?
Wondering if anyone would know if Apple are doing the back to school offer this year as sure last years was around May but nothing has been mentoned so far?
Also by holding out I would be getting the new OS on the laptops already- any ideas when this is released as really want a Macbook Pro already first MAC purchase for me exciting times

I would want to wait 6 months after any new OS to be 'field tested.' Tried and true and mature with the bugs worked out makes 10.6.7+ look good investment rather than bleeding edge.
With Apple you can't install an older build version of the OS than what it ships with so if there are any issues which there always are with an OS.
No one knows future product dates and terms (and couldn't say anyway).
If you want to talk to MacBook Pro owners they are on
MacBook Pro
Spec-wise the 2011 MBP looks very good.

Hardware to attach to Macbook pro for live video stream?

Thinking of buying a Macbook Pro for video streaming of live events and conferences we do.
My question is what video USB add-ons are compatible with Flash Media Live Encoder? I can't find a list anywhere. Are there any cheap USB video input devices that will work with the software for live streaming?
Thanks

I think anything with a properly installed driver for your OS will for in the encoder, the isight on my macbook pro works fine, as well do 2 other cheap webcams on windows.
My suggestion is to purchase a cam from a retailer that offers refunds for pretty much any reason, and you'll be OK and find something on the first try, and if not try again.

Back to school education program question

I bought my macbook pro 2 weeks ago. I live in UK and a friend will bring it in a month for me from the us. When Ill first use the computer probably the back to school promotion will start. Is the promotion valid from the day that I buy the computer or from the day I first use it.?

It only applies to purchases made while the promotion is ongoing or within the promotion window (which I don't know as its not currently active but its not usually more than 30 days if memory serves).
You can check the exact range if / when the program re-opens: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/campaigns/back_to_school
If you did somehow qualify, someone would have to bring you (like now) / send you the iPod from the US as the computer purchase was made in the US.
Good luck!
