Just got my piece of bad news - iPhone4

Store 171 seems to have been a little confused as to how to keep track of its pre-orders.
Initially, I was told I was #7 in the queue. Just called and, apparently, I am #8 in the queue for a 32GB black. I was also told that the prioritized list was not kept correctly .
All in all, unless there is a miracle shipment between now and tomorrow, I will have missed the "getting my phone on release day" ship.
Kind of disheartening seeing as how I was w/in the top 10. Oh, well, kinda expected it pre-ordering on the 15th right before close.

I agree about the bumping. I stopped at store #547, Harrisburg, PA, last night to check on the status of my pre-order. I was #20 and ordered a 16GB black. I figured between the white and 32GB pre-orders, I would be a lock to get one on launch day. So when I stopped last night, the sales guy told me they had only gotten 15 of the 16GB. I thought that was great because they had 5 white pre-orders, and a couple of 32GB, so I was sure to get one, but I had not gotten a call yet. He said the manager was making the calls right now. I said he didn't need to wait and call me, I was here and could make my appointment. He came back after talking to the manager and said I would get a call, but that now I would probably not get one because due to "shipping issues" the manager was offering people who had pre-ordered white, or the 32GB, the chance to get one of the 16GB that had come in. So at 8, I get a call from the manager that unfortunately due to "shipping issues", I would not be getting a phone on launch day. Across this board, there definitely seems to be a pattern of bumping people back, and while it may not be BB policy, it isn't isolated. I've been a Rewardzone member for years, even when you had to pay for it, and a very loyal BB customer, but this experience is making me re-think my loyalty to BB. People say it isn't Best Buy's fault Apple didn't send enough, or on time, but it isn't my fault that I ordered a 16GB model, and other people didn't but are still getting taken care of.

I just got a iPhone and it did not work so they gave me a new but now all my ringtones I had just got are not on my new phone is there away to get them back

Can I get my ring tones on my new iPhone if I already paid for them

Did you try the one working module in both ram slots? If it worked in both slots then the other module is faulty. If the known good module didn't work in both slots then try the other module in both slots. By a process of trial and error you'll be able to determine if you've just got a bad module or a failed ram slot.

Just got a notification that a new email acct was accessing FaceTime when we were not. Thoughts?

We were trying to download Pinterest App on a phone, IOS was outdated so after entering Apple ID we were unable. A couple minutes later, got a notification that a new email address was accessing FaceTime when we were not.

Change the password for your Apple ID/iCloud ID.
Did the message say what email address was used?

Just got iPod shuffle for a new family member, but it won't work

I got an iPod (nano) for christmas this year, and that one installed fine. Yesterday was my mom's birthday, so we got her an iPod (shuffle). Since we all share a computer, and iTunes is already hooked up to this one, we figured it would work. When she plugged it into the USB port, well nothing happened. I've been going through everything since I got home about an hour ago. I can't find anything about installing a second iPod to iTunes. Anybody feel like helping?

Who did you get it in the mail from? Apple, Verizon, or someone else? What model iPhone? Some models need to be activated by Verizon. There's a number you can call to activate it; check your Verizon documentation.

I just got a virus on my new MacBook Pro I used to get on my PC!

This is my first Mac, and I am freaking out. I was just browsing the internet with Safari, and all of a sudden I had a popup that said, "Your PC is running slower than normal. You need to scan for viruses!" I tried just closing it, but it just kept popping up more and more. I eventually had to force quit Safari.
What do I need to do to get rid of this thing??? PLEASE HELP!!

I think you are freaking out a little. The pop-ups are probably just advertising and wants you to click somewhere so they can sell something. Ignore them. Don't visit that page again.
If your computer seems sluggish it might be the worldwide Internet that is sluggish somewhere. It happens to me too. It was very pronounced during the Olympic Games. It is also a bit of a problem when America wakes up and I want to access an american site! It usually resolves it self if one has a little patience.

If you're in the U.S., you may also want to register the number with donotcall.gov.

Just got a Late 2012 iMac 27 inch - recovery issues

Just got a brand new iMac Late 2012 27 inch model (CPU: 3.4, 1GB GPU, 8GB RAM, 1TB Fusion, 10.8.3).
Couple of questions:
I tried Command R to get into recovery mode to see if it is working. It is not working at all. I then tried pressing the Option button after the chime and it took me to the recovery with just a wireless network list. I'm not seeing the built in revovery partition being listed. I didn't try diskutil to see if it is there but it should be. Any ideas?
I got a Magic Trackpad which is not working when I browsed thru the Wifi network list. Is this normal?. I had to use the keyboard to scroll thru the list.
Also, I was reading the reviews on the cleanup software available for Mountain Lion. I was checking CCleaner (free), Onyx (free), Stellar Speedupmac and CleanupMac (Macpaw). Which is simple and effective?
Thanks.

So, if I see it when running diskutil, why it is not seen when in recovery view? or in other words, why does it exist when it cannot be used?. I infact turned off wireless and still it doesn't show the internal recovery partition.
Thanks to Paul_31 for pointing that MacKeeper is a scam. The funny thing is it even shows up as a popup ad when running on Windows 8 and browsing some site. .
Btw, since I just got delivery of a brand new iMac, as a newbie what are the things I should look out for to ensure everything wrt to hardware and software are working. I have heard people say run the PixelBuddy to determine if there are any dead pixels to begin with.
Btw, do I need the free Sophos AV software?. I think it also removes malware. Do you guys recommend any best and essential utilities (free and paid) that are useful?
This machine will predominantly be used for doing HD video editing, programming including BootCamp running Windows 8 with Visual Studio 2012.
Please advise.

I cannot connect to the iTunes store on my new iphone4

I took back my iphone4 yesterday that I had for almost a year because the back button was broken. The apple store exchanged it n gave me a new iphone4. I brought it home and backed it up and now when I go to purchase a app it says I cannot connect to iTunes over wifi. I had no problems with my other iphone4 and used that back up to restore my new phone so I don't understand why I can't connect to iTunes now over my wifi with my new iPhone4. Please help!!!
I also have an iphone3g that has no problems connecting to iTunes over my wifi so I just don't understand why my new iphone4 does grrr. I'm so frustrated pls help

I'm having the same problem on my ipad 2. Error message "cannot connect to iTunes" pops up when I open the App store. I can access iTunes app without issues though. This only happens when I'm on wifi at home. At work, I can access the App Store and iTunes.
I don't think it's the internet because I'm using a stable wifi connection and can browse websites. Plus, my iphone can connect to both App store and iTunes at home and at work. This has been ongoing since I updated my ipad to ios 6.
If anyone knows a fix for this, it will be very much appreciated.

I just got my new iPhone4 set up today and it has pulled in every email that is in my desk top as being unread. Yet I have read all the emails. Still the iPhone thinks they are unread. Does anyone know how I can delete all of these at one time?

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

The Apps have gone onto the 4 but its making me re-start everything from level 1?
Ive paid $$ for the games and then more $$ within the games via iTunes for in game purchases and desperatly want the games on the 4 with the levels that I have reached on the 3!
Can anyone help!! Please!!!! My Smurfs and Animals are starving Hahahaha

Mate, it's good to hear that you have gotten the iPhone 4 but sorry to burst your bubbles. Not all games can have the "saved" data ported over.
Normally when you save a game in iPhone, the memory used is in the flash memory of the device. Those that can be ported over, reason is due to the data being saved over the air and when you logged in on a new device, it recognises you via the userID.
Maybe you can try to backup your iPhone 3, and restore the file onto your iPhone 4. Not too sure if that would brick your phone though.
