Issues @ Tropicare, FL store and Open box inventory not found in store but on website
I went to the Tropicare, FL Best buy store on 3/2/15 to a Vizio 65' TV that I had seen as an open box item last week on the best buy website. I originally went on Sunday 3/1 to buy this model from the Florida city store but by the time I got there it had been sold and removed from the website. So when I get to the Tropicare, FL store on 3/2 and show the rep the Open-Box ID: 200002100650426. They tell me they cannot find any such listing. I told them to check another Open-Box ID: 200002100650349 for the same item. I figured since they have the item listed twice on the website both as Geek squad certified that there should be 1 available. They could not find that product either. I pulled up the information on my phone to show the rep. He proceeds to tell me they don't use the website to track inventory and that it takes awhile for the website to update. I found this odd since the other stores I went to on Sunday 3/1 when I had gotten to the stores the items were sold and the items were removed from the website. So I had the rep call another store to see if the last TV only my list was available. They told me it was not, so I checked the website and it was gone. I showed the rep this and they blew me off once again stating they don't check inventory via the website. I told him I find it odd that best buy wouldn't track inventory via there website. He proceeds to show me more expensive options. At this point I was tried of running around south Florida trying to find the Vizio model I wanted. I purchased a LG 65' for $799 which was from the weekly ad. But I wanted to know what the policy was regarding open box items, inventory levels, and availability.
I still would like to buy the VIZIO - Open Box - 65" Class (64.5" Diag.) - LED - 1080p - Smart - HDTV - Black Model: D650I-C3 SKU: 1078018 Open-Box ID: 200002100650426 or Open-Box ID: 200002100650349. As of 3/3 the items are still on the best buy website listing them available for purchase. I would like to buy this item and return the LG I bought yesterday since it is the TV I wanted. BUt i'm afraid I'll run into he same situation of them not "finding" either of the items in there store in stock.
Any assistance or clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Omar
Hello Omar,
Finding open-box items in fantastic condition is always an exciting purchase! To find that not only one, but two open-box items listed at the same store weren't available would be quite disappointing. I am truly sorry for any frustration that this may have caused you.
With that said, I was able to locate the open-box items in our system, and they would appear to currently be in stock. However, it seems that these items are reserved to fulfill orders that have already been placed. With that said, the store should be responsible for updating their open-box inventory to correctly reflect open-box items available. As you seemed to experience, these inventories can change instantaneously, so stores should be vigilant with these updates.
I apologize for any disappointment that this may cause you. Please know that I am reaching out to the Tropicaire, FL store to ensure they are updating their open-box inventory appropriately. If you should need any further assistance, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Tasha|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Different item recieved and open box
I just shopped for a new Galaxy Alpha phone on bestbuy.com. I purchased the G850m unlocked version. There were cheaper options on ebay which sell the G850A AT&T version new in box opened to unlock. Just to be safer I chose to go with bestbuy. Today i recieved my package I was very excited I opened the box and I found an AT&T G850A phone with the seal broken. I don`t think it is a mistake because they opened the box and took out the At&t sim card and probably unlock the phone. My guess is G850M was out of stock so they decided to unlock and send me an ATT version but if I wanted that way i could have purchased on Ebay at a cheaper price. Anyway, I know I can go to store get a full refund for it but it is just inconvenience. I already purchased a case for it. I used my AMEX $25 cash back for this purchase. I waited couple days for my phone and I am switching carriers. Not to loose my number I had to pay another month to my old carrier. I am even too busy to go to store for the next 2 days. I can`t understand bestbuy shipping a different item and open box. This is a behaviour I might expect from a small ebay seller but not from Bestbuy. I would prefer that they informed me that it is out of stock instead of trying this. I certainly got financial loss from this and time loss. To minimize my loss IS there a way that Bestbuy can ship me the correct phone with overnight shipment immediately?
Another update. This get more and more frustrating: Talked to store manager on the phone. She tried to convince me that they are the same of for 10 minutes without listening me. Finally I was able to say couple words and told her they are not, they have different processor, different 4G LTE bands, different software, different speaker. She said even I exchage I will get the wrong phone again becasue the SKU tied to G850M is actually shows up as G850A in their system. Advised me to call customer service. Called customer service. Even though I said I got it from the BLack Friday dela she offered to return for a refund and reorder the correct item couple times. i dont get this anyway after anoter 10 mintues I was able to convince her to connect me some who had expertise on phone. ( or I thought I did) She transferred me to another rep. She didn`t know much about phones so I tried to explain the codes refers to different specs. She told me that they have a G850H over there that she can send me. Finally after some back and forth she agreed to check if they have the G850M in stock or not. Please help. At least contact me to some one who knows the phones that you carry and can check whether you have the G850M version in stock or not. That is the only answer I need. Just give me G850M if you have in stock if not tell me that you dont have it.

i received an error message "iTunes requires 64-bit mode" says to go into my iTunes application and 'uncheck' the 'open in 32-bit mode' checkbox - i went into the application and the box was not checked anyway so why am i getting this prompt? Never happened before. yesterday did the sofware update for maverick.
Thank you for your response, Chris. But I'm afraid I have to disagree. There are native 64 bit versions of iTunes available for OSX and Windows.
In a 64 Bit Windows environment native 64 Bit Applications install the DLL's in a directory called "Program Files" and a directory called "Program Files (x86)" (32 Bit applications only use the ladder).
iTunes 9 is consistent with this behavior - and it identified itself to the system as a 64 bit application (meaning it's process appears without a "*32" tag on it). -
My iphone 4s crashes too much when i download and app from store and open it its freeze or crash and restart the phone i think i am having big problem with this device i restored it to factory settings and no waay!

If I have redeemed my my gift and the balance is updated in the App Store and I still can not down load apps...what could the issue be? I keep getting this error message "Your Purchase Could Not Be Completed". Then it refers me to apple support.
If you haven't already contacted iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

After moving from Canada to the US, getting a new iPhone 5C, and restoring my backup from iCloud, I can't update my apps. I get an error message that my account is not valid in the Canadian App store and I must change to the US store. How do I do that?
Change here:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
You must have a verified billing address & be located in the country whose store you are trying to use. -
I was initially in the UK apps store and i switched to the USA apps store with a $15 itunes gift card because my credit card from the UK expired..since the switch i couldn't find my previous purchases in the UK store,, now i'm back in the UK and want to switch back using a £15 itunes gift card but whenever i try to switch, itunes tells me i still have credit on my existing US gift card, meanwhile i only have $0.22 which can't buy anything at the apps store..how dow i clear up the balance and switch to the UK apps store...HELP!!!
You might just have to contact Apple and ask them to remove it (losing it). Usually people clear a balance by buying one song and having the exact remainder charged to their credit card, but if you don't have a US credit card you cannot do that.
