Is this true about Trade Ins?

I called my local Best Buy and the rep told me that the trade in phone had to be originally purchased at Best Buy?  Does anyone know if this is true?

Hello BRIVAEH226-
There are city, county and state regulations that do control what we can take as a trade-in.  In some situations, we are required by those regulations to only take trade-ins that can be validated as purchased in a Best Buy store by the customer producing a Best Buy receipt.
This is why all of our trade-in promotions as well as our Limitations and Restrictions of our trade-in program here call out that some stores may have additional limitations that prevent a trade-in.  Your local store should be able to provide you with more information around any particular regulations that they have to follow.

  • Is this true about PS2 devices?

    I just got a new computer. I don't know a lot about hardware, etc.
    The Mainboard I got is an MSI K8N Neo4 S 939
    My PS2 devices are not working and the guy who sold me the computer told me that by unplugging the mouse and keyboard while the system was running, I may have shorted out the board.
    Is this true?

    Quote from: MGP on 18-December-05, 13:04:44
    It is possible that you shorted the keyboard controller, generally you can hot swap keyboard and mouse but some MB like the NEO versions are very sensitive to 
    I take it by your post that none of your PS2 ports are working, if this is the case then I would guess that the PS2 controller on the MB is shot.
    So... if I have indeed shot my PS2 controller on the MB, what can be done? Is this repairable? Do you think it could potentially cause other problems for me? I am using USB devices now but am concerned about future problems due to this happening.
    Also, do you think this should be covered under the 1 year warranty the shop gave me?
    Thanks,

  • Is this true about iPhone vibrate feature?

    THANKS for the help!

    If you really mean compulsively flipping the switch, all hardware switches have a finite lifetime designed for rational use and you may eventually break it.

  • Is this true about installation disks??

    Is it true that certian OS cd's can only be loaded onto certain Mac's? Ex. Like a installation disk from a emac wont work on a powermac? What do the codes on the disks mean when it says "disk 1" and "disk 2" etc? I aquired a 2002 powermac G4 quicksilver and need to reinstall but dont have the disks. How will I be able to tell which installation disks to buy If i'm looking to install Tiger??
    -Thanks for your help

    funylinks2004, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but is still available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A and M9639Z/A . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray).

  • Is this true about jsp:usebean?

    Hi, let me explain this.....i have a Jsp, a business class and a business entity (Country)
    Let's say that the business class connects to a database and retrieve some information (List of Countries with all their attributes)...so the business class instanciates a business entity (Country) with the variable "entityCountry" and encapsulates the information retrieved in the "entityCountry". Then in my JSP i want to display a list of countries....so i use
    <jsp:usebean id="entityCountry" scope="session" class="Country"/>This catches the object, the business class previously instanciated, with all the information it was retrieved from the database? it doesn't create another object with null attributes? is it the same??

    As described [url http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/syntax/1.2/syntaxref1217.html#8865]here
    If the attribute is found in session scope, then it uses the value already created.
    If it is not found, then it instantiates a new instance.
    This code in a JSP
    <jsp:usebean id="entityCountry" scope="session" class="Country"/>
    translates to approximately this java code
    Country entityCountry = session.getAttribute("entityCountry");
    if (entityCountry == null) {
      entityCountry = new Country();
    }

  • I recently had my computer stolen and not my purchases from I tunes store were backed up. I've been told there is a way that I can re-download my missing tracks from the store without having to pay for them again. Is this true, if so, how do go about it.

    Unfortunately, redownloading of past music purchases isa still in beta test and only available in the US right now.
    It's due for everyone this fall.  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If you can't wait, contact the iTunes Store Support Team at this link
    If you get lucky, they may be able to authorize another download now.

  • I just heard a news report that there is a problem with malware in mac computers that came through a recent java update. Is this true? If so, what should be done about it?

    I just heard a news report that there is a problem with malware in mac computers that came through a recent java update. Is this true? If so, what should be done about it?

    As usual those "news" reports mangled the facts and got most of the story completely wrong. This particular attack did not arise through a Java update, it was distributed through a fraudulent Flash download popup window, or malicious websites that Safari is designed to block.
    If you run Java on your Mac you may be vulnerable to this malware. If you do not run Java there is no risk. If you routinely keep your Mac up to date with Software Update the risk is greatly reduced.
    Shut off the mass market junk that masquerades as "news" and read this to learn some real facts:

    Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price, which pays for an exchange at a discounted price off the full retail sales price.

  • I am downloading firefox to my new laptop, I get warning that this type of file can harm my computer. Is this true?of

    This type of file can harm your computer. Are you sure you want to download firefox...p 4.0.1. exe comes up when I try to download firefox is this true?

    Is Alchemy by Camel Audio safe to download ?
    Are you asking about this panel or a similar warning?
    You will see this kind of warning for every program that you install and that is not signed by an Apple approved Deveveloper certificate. 
    I have no experience with that particular audio Unit, but the documentation on the camel site does not mention the compatibility with the newer Mac OS X versions. So be sure to make a full backup of your system before installing the plug-in.  Incompatible VST plug-ins can destabilize the system.

  • I read that Chrome was dropping npapi support - In the article it said that firefox was in December. Is this true? I cannot find a source.

    The article is misleading. As written it looks like it is being blocked, but it is the click to play feature they are talking about.

  • Is this true or not? Should this be a concern

    Okay so i have been hearing things about an app called Angela. People are saying that the app was created by a adult that talks to kids. Many are saying that the app can locate where you are and take pictures of you without your athorization. Is this true?

    It's a harmless app and the victim of a Facebook hoax. Google Angela for the full story. If you still worry about it don't download it and don't let your kids play with it.

  • Is this true re: 1.2.1 firmware

    Someone wrote earlier that "If I'm not mistaken, the 1.2.1 update includes something that makes accessories that aren't certified by Apple to no longer work with iPods. I'm sure that is why it only works with earlier updates."
    Is this true? And, if so, I guess Apple is content with punishing people with 5th generation iPods (or any iPods, for that matter, I guess) with 1.2.1 firmware by not making it possible for them to use their iPods in their cars, unless they purchase one of the inferior piece of crap products offered in the Apple Store?
    Corporate greed blows.

    Wow! If you're sure about that, then that's awesome.

  • Trade-ins Not Showing Up

    I've traded in games two seperate times and neither have shown up on my account. One was over the past weekend, and the other was at the end of February. Also on the last one, I wasn't given my 10% GCU bonus. Is there a place I can enter the transaction id's to get credit for them?

    Hello DogFromDuckhunt,
    It's a good thing I was so good at Duck Hunt back in the day, or you and I might have had a problem!
    Anyway,I'm sorry to hear that you haven't been seeing your points apply for game trades.  This is a great way to add up some additional points for your next gaming purchase.
    At this time there is no automated way to add points missed from game trade-ins.  I may still be able to help though.  Please watch for a private message from me shortly.

  • How do I monitor my child's history.  He claims it was deleted with the recent new update from Apple.  Is this true?

    How do I monitor my child's history on the iPad?  He claims the history became deleted with the new Apple update.  Is this true?

    However, after the update on 4 devices in my home, not one of them lost their website history.  Not one device, so it would not be a common issue for the update to delete ones internet history.  So to the OP.......I would be a bit skeptical about your son's claim the update removed his internet browsing history.
