My iphone was stolen and then returned months later after I already got a new iphone the old iphone is disabled I sold it on eBay and don't have a computer to enable it will Genius Bar fix my phone and at what cost

My iphone was returned to me and its disabled because I reported it stolen months ago. Will Genius Bar enable it so I can sell it on eBay seeing as I already got a new one?? I don't have a computer to connect to iTunes. Will they charge me?

Genius bar appointments are free. To remove the passcode on a disabled iPhone requires forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it, using iTunes on a computer. Whether the genius bart will do this for you is a good question. I suspect if you can prove the phone is yours, there shouldn't be any issues. Only one way to find out, & that's to make an appointment.
Good luck.

Will genius bar install windows (boot camp) for me?

will genius bar install windows (boot camp) for me? if so, costs?

Ask them. We don't know what your local Apple Store will do for you. It will certainly cost you their hourly charge for however many hours are involved. You may have to purchase Win8 from them but if not you must have a copy of your own.
Or you can take the time to read the Boot Camp documentation and do it yourself. Start here: Apple - Support - Boot Camp. Open Boot Camp Assistant then click on the large button on the left to print the documentation. Then read it very carefully.

You should be offered which backup to restore from after you click on restore from backup.

If you move your entire itunes library, then yes.

Is it possible to create a new iCloud account and permanently transfer existing store purchases to it?

Is it possible to create a new iCloud account and permanently transfer existing store purchases to it?

Thank you for taking the time to try to answer my question. Let me phrase it slightly differently...
I have a very old appleid that I've used for store purchases. I had a MobileMe account that was upgraded to iCloud. I'd like to merge the account data. I've been hoping Apple would come up with a solution to this, but they haven't yet.
So, I'm wondering if I should make a new account of some sort and try to transfer data to it from both of the old accounts. It sounds like that can't work.
I suppose then that the only thing to do is manually transfer all the information from the old MobileMe account to the primary appleid (which is some sort of iCloud + Store combination, no?). That might not be that hard to do, but it is somewhat high risk.

Minor keyboard issue with new 15" MBP - will genius bar help me?

I bought a new 15" 2.67GHz MacBook Pro last Thursday and I noticed that the F11 key is slightly crooked and not level. I am certain there was no abuse to the computer, it's like my baby and I know nothing happened to it. If I take it to a Genius Bar, would they help me out? It doesn't really bother me all too much and the key works fine, but I'm just pi--ed that I spent over $2500 on a computer and the buttons aren't on perfectly. I would have taken it in right away but I bought it Thursday night right before they closed and I left for vacation the next morning. I will not be back until August 9 and I am concerned that if I wait that long, they will not believe me that it was like this when I bought it and will think that I did this. Do you think they would help me? How should I proceed?
Thanks!
Mike

Take it back. They will replace the key or keyboard, if needed.

Will genius bar staff look at my older MacBook and recommend upgrades to improve performance?

Yeah, I probably should just call them, but it is 10 PM in Las Vegas and they are closed. My MacBook is slowing down and I read some answers on the community as to what to do. From those, it looks like I need more RAM and a larger hard drive. Also, maybe some backup to storage. I don't know if this is possible on my MacBook, so I have to find out and think the Genius Bar personnel would help. Do they do this stuff?
Thanks.

Yes, they can help. However, Apple charges around 2X what you can buy and install memory for yourself. OWC and Crucial are both good sources. This Apple note tells you how to install memory. You can find a video here on how to install memory too.

Will Genius bar help?

I continue to have a problem with my MAC Pro tower. The bottom line is that it freezes up after inactivity, and I have to shut it down using the power button. Then I have to use my Snow Leopard disk to run the disk utility to clear up the problem "Invalid Volume Directory Count" (can't do it with the regular disk utility). This has been going on for a while, even deleted, formatted and restored my drive, but it is still happening. I have never done so, but does this sound like something that could be taken care of by the Genius Bar? This is my first MAC, and have always had in house service on my PC's, very convenient. I cannot generate this problem, it has a mind of its own. To use the Genius Bar, I would have to bring my tower to the store (not a lightweight), and, based on the nature of the beast, would probably have to leave it. Everything else seems to working fine (monitor, keyboard, mouse, tablet, etc.) so I am hoping that I would only have to bring in the tower. Has anybody had this experience? Can I call my Apple Store to find out what I would need to bring in, or would they tell me when I make a reservation?
Thank you for any suggestions an/or direction.

Buy Alsoft Disk Warrior and run that from a small partition.
Clone your system with SuperDuper.
I would learn how to do system maintenance.
Test your RAM. Memtest/Rember and also run the Apple Hardware Test off the OEM DVD.
You may need to start fresh on a newly formatted hard drive. Also any printer, devices and look for anything that isn't compatible with 10.6.x. And don't restore anything until the problem goes away; and, you have cloned your system to another drive or disk image.
Apple Disk First Aid is not as strong or as reliable as Alsoft's.

Looking for alternatives to the iTunes genius bar

So since the new itunes removed the genius bar, which I had used regularly to find similar songs to ones I owned, does anybody know of an alternative of some sort. Beside Pandora as well

Microsoft has two applications for backing up and restoring data. These applications are:
Client-Based ; Windows Server Backup (in Windows Server 2008/2008 R2/2012) and Windows Backup and Restore (in Windows 7/8): These applications are client-base. They can only back up the systems that are installed on them. The storage capabilities
of these apps are limited (for example, they cannot back up to tape or to cloud).
Data Protection Manager (now in 2012 edition): DPM is a full feature, enterprise-class backup solution. It supports tapes for backup storage and now in DPM 2012 SP1, it can store backups to Windows Azure (cloud), as well.
Hope this helps you!

Will Genius Bar install hard drive in my MacBook?

Just wondering if the Genius Bar will install a hard drive that wasn't bought from Apple. I know if I do it myself, it voids the warranty. What if they replace it? Also roughly how much would this cost?
Thanks!

Why do you think it will void your warranty? Apple gives instructions on doing this and this is Apples word on the warranty issue.
Apples DIY Warranty Info
It is not difficult to do but as Doug said you could pay someone to do it for you.
These are very good instructions on How to Upgrade Your MacBook's Hard Drive.
Creative Mac: Swapping Hard Drives on the 13-Inch MacBook
Here is the Apple Apples DIY hard drive replacement instructions.
The only step they left out is the need for a number 8 *Torx Driver* to swap a shield from the old drive to the new. Apples DIY Warranty Info

HT1329 I have imported music files on my iPod Classic which I don't have on my old PC as it had less capacity than the iPod. I now have a new PC and want to transfer the music from the iPod to my new PC so that I have back ups. How can I do this?

How do I move music imported from my old CD collection onto my iPod, which I did not retain on my old PC as there was not enough memory. I no longer have all the CDs so cannot import them to my new PC, so want to copy them directly off my iPod Classic to my new PC.
How do I do that?
Thanks

You cannot do it (transfer song files from iPod to computer) using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download previous purchases using the iTunes Store Purchased screen).
However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can be used to transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your new computer's hard drive, drag them (or the folder containing the files) to the iTunes window to add them to your new computer's iTunes library.
