Just my luck! Bought the now older 2.66 15in just over a week ago - return?

hey guys,
just finished watching wwdc coverage and can't believe they upgraded the mbp's so soon since the last upgrades.
i bought the 15in 2.66ghz.
Should I return it and go for the newer spec 2.66ghz?
i have opened the box and have been using the machine for just over a week - will I be charged the 10% open box fee if I return it?
If so, it kind of rules out any financial saving from returning the machine but I would be getting the longer battery life and improved colour resolution screen.
That said I'd lose the express card slot and the removable battery
Decisions! Decisions!
Not sure what to do - I'm happy for everyone to weigh in with the opinion as I'm sure there are many in the same boat.
i have until this Sunday to make my decision
Thanks,
Ed

What do you mean? I've used that on them before, with one of their laptops.
I see Apple's years-old policy still stands today:
(from http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/salespolicies.html)
For eligible Mac, iPod, and third-party products, you have up to 14 calendar days from the time you receive your item(s) to initiate a return...
...Should Apple reduce its price on any shipped product within 14 calendar days of shipment, you may contact Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 to request a refund or credit of the difference between the price you were charged and the current selling price. To receive the refund or credit you must contact Apple within 14 calendar days of the price change.
Of course, that's if you buy from the Apple Store, not sure what Best Buy will let you do.

I just opened my mail on icloud and all messages disappeared from the last year! I have one email left in my inbox which is the most recent. I moved to icloud 2 weeks ago and it has been working fine until now. How can I retrieve old messages? Thank you.

I guess you could try but I don't believe Apple can help with activation lock issues. They may, however, be able to determine if the Apple ID belongs to one of you and reset the password for you if you can prove your identity.
You might want to try calling Apple by going to https://expresslane.apple.com; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. Perhaps they can help determine if it's your ID and reset the password for you (and they probably have more expertise in doing this than the Apple store).

I can't open a file I just created a week ago and it says pages needs to be updated to open the file but its up to date

I can't open a file I just created a week ago and it says pages needs to be updated to open the file but its up to date, what do I do?

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

You can add the icon of the missing Pages on your Dock or open Pages from the Apple menu > Recent Items list.
Or you can archive Pages 5 so that it doesn't automatically open.
If you are unhappy about this review/rate Pages 5 in the App Store.

I have now been without iCloud email for over 1 week!

Hi all
My icloud email stopped working last Saturday (11/02/2012)! I can log into icloud without a problem. I can see ALL my contacts, I can also see ALL my calendar events both past and future! This is exactly the same on ALL my devices - iMac, iPad and iPhone. Plus any PC I attempt to access it from!
I contacted Apple last Saturday afternoon (the first day of my outage). The first thing they ask for is a serial number of the device at fault. I tell them there is NO device at fault the fault is with icloud! I was then again asked for a serial number. ALL my devices are now out of warranty so I was told that I would be granted an exception just this once! WHY should I be granted an exception when the fault is with a NONE warranty part of their software???
After over one hour on the phone, they told me they had spoken to an engineer and that there was a fault on the server!
That was over one week ago the server page on this site shows ALL services are up and running when clearly they are NOT!
Friday (17/02/2012) I decided to contact Apple again, this time I asked to speak to the senior supervisor! After 10 to fifteen minutes of explaining the situation I was put on hold for a further fifteen minutes while he went for a chat with an engineer! When he came back he announced that there was indeed a fault with the server that was affecting ONLY 2% of the icloud users. To be fair to the man he also gave me his personal email address to allow me to bypass the warranty checks in future!
I was a Mobile Me subscriber before converting over to icloud and my account is STILL paid up the the end of June this year! I have had NO communications from Apple at all during this time even via my secondary email address that is registered with them!
I find this sort of treatment from a company like Apple is disgusting!

Me too. It has been 3 days since I have no access to iCloud mail. No matter I check it on iCloud.com, Mac, iPhone or iPad, the mail app says I have incorrect password. Specifially, when I check email on my Mac, the message below appears and prompt me to type in the password. I am sure that I've entered the correct password already.
The iCloud IMAP server “p99-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user “my user name”
Enter your password again or cancel.
Staying away from email for a day is OK, but definietly not for 3 or 4 days. Someone, please tell me what to do. If it has to do with the servers, Apple, PLEASE FIX IT ASAP!!

I can't select icloud backup on my iphone 5, i've got 4.5 gig of available storage and this just started 2 weeks ago

I can't select icloud backup on my iphone 5, i've got 4.5 gig of available storage and this just started 2 weeks ago, I've tried deleting a couple of apps, signing out, rebooting, all to no avail. The button stays grayed out and will not let me select. Any ideas on how to solve this?

I down loaded a song over two weeks ago from I-tunes and it still says it's downloading even though I can play it on my list, it just won't let me transfer this song to a cd, any suggestions

I down loaded a song over two weeks ago from I-Tunes and it stil is saying downloading even though I can play it on my list. I can't copy it to a CD though and don't know what to do about this. I couldn't understand the help section on I-tunes.

- Try another cable unless the other device works OK witht he same cable
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Cannot find the new columns I added to a list a week ago

Hi, I'm using VS2012.
I added a couple of new columns to an existing list over a week ago. Using C# code, I was able to connect to the site and got the list. Able to update the columns until I got to the new column4, and then I got exception error. How
to fix this? Thank you.
exp = {"Column 'new-column4' does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user. /Lists/MyList"}
ClientContext context = new ClientContext("https://xxx.yyy.zzz");
List MyList = context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("MyList");
ListItemCreationInformation itemCreateInfo = new ListItemCreationInformation();
ListItem newItem = MyList.AddItem(itemCreateInfo);
newItem["column1"] = column1Value;
newItem["column2"] = column2Value;
newItem["column3"] = column3Value;
newItem["new-column4"] = column4Value;
newItem["new-column5"] = column5Value;
newItem["column6"] = column6Value;
Thank you

Hi,
According to your description, there is an issue when you tried updating the value of a column.
Based on the error message, the column 'new-column4' may not exist in the current list, please check it from the UI of your list.
Or you can debug your code in Visual Studio to see whether there is a column named 'new-column4' in the current list.
Feel free to reply if there any progress.
Best regards

I did the trade in for the 6...I mailed my 4s in over 3 weeks ago and still no trade in credit...and I can't seem to get anyone at Verizon to give me an update, even telling me that they received my trade in...has anyone received their trade in credit?

Has anyone received the credit from the i6 trade in promotion? I sent my 4s in over 3 weeks ago and I can't even reach anyone to see if it has been received and when the trade in credit would be e-mailed to me.

We appreciate you taking the time to reach out to us, Richard24601! Your Gift card may take 4-6 weeks after the submission of the phone.

My iphone warranty just ended a week ago but I need to get it fixed because my power button is not working, do I still have to pay for it to be fixed even though my warranty ended a week ago?

Your warranty expired, so of course you will have to pay.

I upgraded the Pages version on my iPad and iPhone some weeks ago. The App has not synced previous data on both AND it's unstable on both. Luckily I didn't upgrade on my Mac where the old version is working ok! What to do??

I upgraded the Pages version on my iPad and iPhone some weeks ago. The App has not synced previous data on both AND it's unstable on both. Luckily I didn't upgrade on my Mac where the old version is working ok!

You need the new versions of both to sync data between them. If you don't have the new versions on your Mac, they will not sync.
BTW, the new versions do NOT overwrite the old on Mac. When you install them, the old versions are retained.

I have an iPhone 5. I got it just over a year ago and the power button recently quit working. Since ive had it for over a year, can i take it in and have it replaced or fixed?

Wow that is so unlucky. If I was you I would try talking to someone at the Apple Store, explain your situation and don't be shy to shed a tear or too. Its just a shame 3 weeks after your phone getting hardware problems. I know people will say, oh buy Apple Care but I feel ya and I know adding that extra money in the beginning feels pointless and expensive.
Worst case scenarion like I said you will have to pay Apple 269 for them to swap phones. Or if you have any nerd friends have them fix it for you. Its a tedious repair the way the power button has some weird hinge that needs to snap on and ribbons are so thin. I do not advise for you to attempt to fix your self unless you don't care if you break it completely.
Alternatively you could just turn on Assisitive touch on accessibility and use that. That way you wont need to pay anything to fix your phone and wont need to take it apart either.

I have cleared my history and the history now automatically is cleared, but the ten items in the drop down menu continue to be there from weeks ago. How do I clear them?

The ten items in the drop down History header continues to show ten sites that I several weeks ago. Any new sites that I have used recently or am currently using do not appear in this list. I have configured the history settings to clear automatically, but those ten old sites persist throughout all current use. How do I get rid of them?

Entries in the location bar drop down list with a yellow (blue on Mac) star at the right end are bookmarks.<br />
You can remove such a bookmarked item that shows in the list if you open that url in a tab and click the yellow star in the location bar.<br />
This will open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and you can click the Remove button to remove the bookmark if you want to remove such a bookmarked entry.<br />

Just my luck! Bought the now older 2.66 15in just over a week ago - return?
