MacBook Pro purchase in Apple Store

hi everyone. im not sure if anyone has answered this yet but im on a limited time schedule at the moment so im just gonna ask.
Can I walk into an apple store TOMORROW and purchase a MBP with...
2.16Ghz processor
2 GB RAM
100 GB hard drive @ 7200 rpm
glossy screen
those are the specs I need. I just want to know if they can put all that into it at the store. I really dont want to order it online because Its for school on thursday and im selling my PB G4. thanks to anyone in advance!

Depends on your location. I walked into the Apple store in Toronto(DT) and within 2minutes I was in the lineup waiting to empty my wallet.
I purchased the 15"MPB with glossy screen.
It depends on stock, I would suggest you call in the store your going to visit, and ask them if they have the product you want in stock. Ask them to hold it for you if you think it will be sold by the time you get a chance to go to the store.
happy hunting.

Of course not. It's a hardware problem, so it can't be fixed by upgrading software. The only option you have got is to take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller.
That error indicates a problem with the hard drive. What you have to do is to make a backup of your files and take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller, so they can confirm that the problem is the hard drive and not the SATA connector, which could be worse.
If it's a hard drive issue, it's not expensive (about $100-200, depending on the hard drive). If it's a SATA connector issue, the whole logic board may have to be replaced.
Note that you can replace the hard drive yourself if you want, but the cost between doing it yourself and taking the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller is similar

I own a new iPad and a MacBook Pro. An Apple store assistant changed my Apple ID on my iPad, and the new ID showed up in the iCloud setting on the iPad. However on my Mac laptop the iCloud still shows my old ID, so there is no synching of documents going on between the iPad and the laptop. What do I do?

On the mac's system preferences: click the iCloud icon, then "sign out" button. After, you can enter the new ID.

Best way to buy a Macbook Pro at an apple store

I am going to purchase my first macbook pro next week. I am switching from Windows to Apple after 10 plus years of use. I am very excited to make the switch. My question is this, I was wondering what is the best way to buy one at an apple store? Should I schedule a one on one to make sure i get a rep? The reason I say this is because the store i go to is constantly busy and seems as though i probably wouldnt be able to get a sales rep for a while. Also i was wondering if this is something people use alot or does scheduling a one on one not happen very often. The last question I have is should i call ahead to the store to see if they have the macbook that i want in stock? If they dont can i order one over the phone and schedule a pickup at the store? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It never hurts to get a rep, as they may be able to show you things about the machine you may not have known, and if they are well trained, they can answer all your questions and make you feel more comfortable about your purchase.
For custom configurations that are not listed in the store online by default, you will likely need to go online, though some stores have a fully featured configuration with the maximum custom addons all prebundled. For more customization online is better.
Ordering over the phone to the brick and morter store is not as likely to be doable, though some stores may offer it. Each store has their own policy, and I suggest calling them ahead to find out what it is.
You can at least for http://www.apple.com/retail/ set a genius bar appointment ahead of time, to discuss your needs.

Macbook Pro taken by Apple store

I have an extremely strange situation. I recently purchased a used macbook pro (2010) in February of this year. A few days ago the display started having issues where it would have blue vertical streaks across the entire screen and I couldn't make anything out on the display. I then proceeded to schedule a genuis bar appointment for the following day. Upon arriving at the Apple store the genius saw the problem that I was having and took it in the back to check a few things out. Ten minutes later he came back with the store manager and asked if I had bought the unit used. I told them I had and they proceeded to explain to me that they believed the unit had been stolen. I was obviously shocked and they said that they had to verify for sure that this was the case, but if it was indeed stolen that they could not give it back.
They asked for my contact info and went in the back again for awhile. The store manager came back and told me that the machine had been stolen from a store in pennsylvania. She then said sorry but I can give you a 20% discount on a new mac if you would like to purchase one. Now I understand Apple is a business and I understand their stance on the issue but I wasn't even given a chance to prove that I had bought the machine used. It was just taken from me with no effort at all to mutually rectify the situation. I have spent thousands on Apple products over the years and this was my 3rd Macbook pro in four years, I have had two of every iPhone released, an iPad, and several iPods and to be treated like I was some criminal and have my machine, which I make my living on, taken from me was extremely unfortunate.
I proceeded to file a police report and give the authorities the description of the person I purchased the machine from but I don't believe they will find him. I then called Apple Customer Relations and spoke with a kind man who tried to help but was told the Apple store was handling it and they would contact me. It has been two days and I have received no phone calls from anyone. I am by no means asking for a handout as I'm sure Apple recieves thousands of demands from 'mistreated' customers a day and I don't want to be lumped in with some uber sensitive disgruntled customers. I love Apple, I am a fanatic. I take it upon myself to convert as many of my friends and family over to Apple as I possibly can and I have been very successful in doing so because I believe in the brand so strongly. I just want to continue using their amazing products and I have had nothing but good experiences with them. I was not mistreated, but I do believe that more could be done to to rectify the situation than taking my computer and sending me on my way.
My question to you all is have you heard of any situations like this before? If so, how was it resolved? And do I have any recourse in the matter? Now I know invariably someone will reply accusing me of being the person who stole the computer and how they can't believe I was dumb enough to take a stolen computer back to the company it was stolen from. I welcome any and all responses and I would ask for the benefit of the doubt. I have the phone number, name and text conversation of the person I purchased it from that I have turned over to the authorities. I also have proof from my bank of the purchase. So please, I am genuinely seeking help and I'm asking the community for appropriate reponses.

Try the Yellow Pages, Attorney's and find one that will do an initial consultation for free. It should be an attorney that specializes in Civil matters.
Take the police reports and any documentation from the Apple Store. If they gave you none, ask them for a statement regarding recovering Apple's stolen property. And, of course, what ever information you have about the person you bought the MBP from.
The attorney should be able to tell you if it would be worth your time (and his) to go after the seller. He may suggest suing the seller in small claims court depending on how much you lost.
Extraordinary customer service is the generous discount they offered. If you really want/need another computer, I would accept the offer. I can't think of another company that would reward someone for being in possession of property stolen from them.
So, at MBP prices they are giving you $240 to $598 depending on the MBP. If that's not extraordinary to you, send the Red Cross a donation in the amount of your discount.

Macbook pro shipping to apple store?

When will the apple stores get their new shipments of the new macbook pro?
i live in oahu, hawaii.

Actually not always.
I ordered a MacBook Unibody on Dec 20 2008. It said.
Left warehouse in Memphis TN.
In fact every Apple Product I ordered online said shipping form Memphis TN well except for one I think.
But about 2 months ago I was forced into needing FireWire. So I had to sell my MacBook and order a MacBook Pro.
I ordered it saturday CTO a 500GB HD.
3 Hr ago it said Prepared for Shipment.
At 1:10 am Central Time it was Shipped.
It has left FedEx Origin Facility Shanghai CN.

Will they tighten the hinge on my macbook pro at the apple store?

i just got a 13 inch macbook pro yesterday and the screen seems to be slightly loose its not a big deal but i worry that over time it will get more and more loose if i made an appointment at the apple store would they be able to tighten the hinge there?

Hi D,
You definitely want to bring your new machine in to the Apple Store to have them look at it. If they can adjust it, great, but if not, you'll want to have any defective parts replaced or get a new MBP.

Delivery: Buy Macbook pro on the Apple Store with French OS & Keyboard

Hi everyone,
I am about to switch from PC to MAC, and I would like to buy Macbook Pro 13" 2.4Ghz.
I am French and I am living in Ireland for 6 months, so I have to buy my Macbook on the Irish Apple website.
During the ordering procedure, I saw I can order a computer with a AZERTY Keyboard (French), but I'd like to know if it's possible to order the computer with a French Leopard OS, or will it be by default in English and after I can put it in French ?? Please answer if you know, this is the last step before I buy my Mac!
See you all and many thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Your best bet would be to call Apple on the telephone and ask about this. We are just fellow users, and really can't tell you what Apple would do.
Good luck!

Now I am in Thailand. Can i buy Refurbished Macbook pro from US appple store?

Excuse me. I am in Thailand. Can i buy Refurbished Macbook pro from US apple store?

The USA web store requires payment in US funds, from a US source, and with a US billing address for the account. And as Limnos mentions, they do not ship internationally - they will only ship to a US street address (no P.O. Boxes so no re-shipper will work either).

I purchased the Microsoft Office last September at an Apple Store. I recently had to bring my MacBook Pro back to the store because of some issues. Reboot caused me to lose Office and I no longer have the passcode. Where can I find my duplicate code?

I purchased the Microsoft Office last September at an Apple Store. I recently had to bring my MacBook Pro back to the store because of some issues. Reboot caused me to lose Office and I no longer have the passcode. Where can I find my duplicate code? I no longer have the receipt so I can not call the business to find my duplicate code. Looking back at my bank statements, this purchase was quite spendy so I hope I will not have to purchase it again if possible! Any advice would be great!

It should be on a stickerthat says product key on the inner sleeve inside the bos which the disc comes in.

Will Apple give me anything to trade-in a water-damaged (still functional but hurting) MacBook Pro [Purchased new Dec. 2010]?

Will Apple give me anything to trade-in a water-damaged (still functional but hurting) MacBook Pro [Purchased new Dec. 2010]?
Any feedback/advice is greatly appreciated!
Thank you

The techs at Apple do have some lattitude in what they can offer. And it won't hurt to ask, and if they did help you out, it would be your one and only "save" for the rest of your life probably. Since you bought yours back in 2010, I doubt they would do anything. If it were a brand new unit, they may have some sympathy. But in your case, I'd say probably not.
