MacBook Pro RMA Procedure for Apple Canada?

Hi everyone. I am new to the world of macs and is wondering if you guys can help me.
I've bought a macbook pro through apple.ca. Unfortunately the MacBook Pro is dead on arrival. I called AppleCare and they say they would offer me a RMA and send me a replacement.
I am confused by the RMA procedure though. I only got an email from them after the phone call:
Dear Apple Customer,
Thank you for contacting Apple.
We apologize for any inconvenience. Apple has issued a Return Material
Authorization (RMA) number 7407332124 for your order number 7042443204.
Please pack the item in its original box using the original packing
materials, and include all documentation. Please write the RMA # on the
outside of the box in BIG BOLD letters and numbers and ship the product to the following address.

Does this mean I have to pay shipping to return the defective MBP? I also can't find anyway to track the shipping of my replacement model. How does this work? Do I have to send them back the defective unit first then they will send me the replacement model? Or do I wait for the replacement model to arrive then send the defective unit back to them?
Sorry for so many questions. I would really appreciate if someone that has similar experience before can tell me what's going on. I am a little mad about this since I paid express shipping for the MBP and I can't use it.

You may receive a seperate email with a shipping label; that's how it works in the U.S., at least. As soon as Apple has confirmation that the machine has been given to the carrier, they release the new order.
However...

  • Can I take my new MacBook Pro retina to an apple store for them to transfer files

    Can I take my new MacBook Pro retina to an apple store for them to transfer files from my PC? I am migrating from window 7. I was planning on doing myself but it looks like you need two thunderbolt to Ethernet adapters and two Ethernet cables? What is the best way to transfer? I live in a rural area and think maybe wirelessly may not be the best way? Thanks for any assistance!

    Can I use my back up from my PC to transfer? I just backed up my PC to WD My Book. Will that work?
    Probably will work fine. It's worth a try and won't do any harm. 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2518
    What you can transfer to your Mac depends on the files.
    Photo files (.jpg .tiff etc) fine
    Music files - some may need conversion software to be used in iTunes (unless you had iTunes on your PC) but free converters are there
    Video files - ditto, some will work in iMovie, others may need converting to work
    Text - Pages will read .doc and .docx files.  Most Word processing files/spreadsheet files/presentation files can be read in iWork but if not, can use Open Office or Libre Office (both free downloads)
    Windows programs (eg those with a .exe suffix) won't work on a Mac without installing Windows (e.g. via BootCamp).

  • Why in the world does it cost sooo much to replace a logic board for your water damage macbook pro? As if apple hasn't made enough money to allow some people to save some money for their laptop..

    Why in the world does it cost sooo much to replace the logic board for your macbook pro.
    As if apple hasn't made enough money to allow some people to save some money..

    Do you think Apple should reward your clumsiness or lack of caution by giving you a logic board for free, or at cost? Come to think of it, shouldn't they just give you a free new computer, and be grateful to you for taking it off their hands?
    Apple isn't a charity operated for the benefit of the careless.

  • Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id

    Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id. When I use I tunes it get confusing and I have a paid app that needs the same id

    When syncing the iPhone and iPad with iTunes on your computer that is logged in with the Apple ID you plan on using on all three, the Apple ID should be transferred to the iPhone and iPad for the iTunes & App Stores on each device. If not, you'll need to sign out of the existing Apple ID on the iPhone and iPad followed by signing in with the Apple ID you want to use on both.
    Keep in mind that all 3rd party apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account or Apple ID that was used to download the apps. With an app installed on your iPad and iPhone that was downloaded with a different Apple ID from the one you will be using now, you will need to use that Apple ID and password to install app updates for those apps. Not possible to transfer apps purchased with one Apple ID to another or to merge Apple IDs.

  • Macbook Pro no longer support Apple Cinema Display after graphic update 1.0

    I recently updated my system to ver. 10.5.2 and after that I updated to graphic system 1.0. After that my macbook pro began to have several problems dealing with my 23" Apple Cinema Display.
    1- if started in 'closed lid' mode it gives me a kernel panic (shaded screen) error during start up
    2- if started in 'open lid' mode it boots fine but whether i decide to close the lid it fails to wake from sleep mode. It starts for one or two seconds and then it gets back to sleep.
    So, I made a long time taking test during the weekend and after several "archive and install" I found that this issue is related to the leopard graphic system update 1.0. Somehow this update mess up the way that macbook pro deals with my Apple Cinema Display.
    I hope that someone at Apple will address this issue toward a solution in a short time.
    I appreciate any other experience in this sense by anybody.
    Thank you for any reply.

    Check out the 'Apple Displays' forum and you'll find that you are not alone. MBP/Cinema Display relationship broken since graphics updater. Hopefully an Apple patch soon, or it's time for an Archive and Install w/o updating the graphics.

    I recently purchased a macbook pro and qualified for the free Mountain Lion update.  Now that I've received the very long content code from Apple, where do I go to enter this information?  Is there a link within apple.com?  This is my first apple computer so I'm not a proficient user.  Thank you

    Sign into the App Store with your Apple ID. App Store should be in the Dock.

    Where can I download a macbook pro install dvd for my Macbook pro 2.2 because i lost mine...

    I don't think you can actually download the install DVD. If you call Apple they can send you the install DVD for a nominal fee +S&H. You will need to provide them with the serial number for your Mac to see if it's registered to you.

  • Is there any possible way I can download Microsoft powerpoint on my MacBook Pro OS X for free? I need it for lots of projects of my school.

    Dear Apple Inc.
         I would like to know if there is any possible way I can download Microsoft Powerpoint on my MacBook Pro OS X for free? I hope you can reply as soon as you can so I can be able to do all the projects being presented to me from school on Microsoft Powerpoint.
    Thank you,
         April Navarro

    These are user forums. You are not speaking to Apple here. You cannot get MS products for free. You can purchase the student version of Office for OS X from MS. You can download a 30 day free trial that you can fully activate by purchasing a license key for $139.00.
    You can download a free copy of Libre Office which is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows but runs on Macs. I don't know how compatible the presentation module is to Powerpoint.

  • Is it possible to have 2 mail programmes on my macbook pro? one for business related emails and one personal. I dont want all the emails in one mail programme!

    Is it possible to have 2 mail programmes on my macbook pro? one for business related emails and one personal. I dont want all the emails in one mail programme. At the moment i have 2 personal email address being sent to my mail but because of receiving huge numbers of work emails it would be good to keep them seperate, what is the best way of doing this?

    if i use the one mail programme can it separate the incoming mail from the different email accounts into 2 folders without me having to do it manually?
    Yes, you can.  Nearly all email software can do this.  It involves creating two folders and a Rule for each folder.
    Maybe call one folder Personal Mail, the other Work Mail (Apple Mail calls folders Mailboxes).  One Rule would route all mail from your personal email account into the Personal Mail folder; the other Rule would route all mail from your work email account into the Work Mail folder.  It's actually easy to do, all you have to do is click a few things and the rule is set up.  Once the Rule is written you can also apply it to existing messages already downloaded to your Mac.
    In Apple Mail, Rules are under Preferences > Rules.  Follow the prompts to create a rule like this:
    If = Any
    Account = my Personal account (select the name of your personal email account)
    Perform the following actions: Move Message to Mailbox = my Personal Mail (select the name of your Personal Mail folder (aka mailbox))
    This rule says,  "take any message that comes in from my Personal Account and move it to my Personal Mail mailbox (folder)"
    Create a similar rule for your Work email.

  • How do I secure erase macbook pro 2012 retina for resale

    How do I secure/erase and set to factory settings 15" Macbook Pro 2012 retina) for resale?

    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Be sure you disable or turn off iCloud. Deauthorize the computer in iTunes. Remove any Firmware Passwords you may have configured. Turn off FileVault if enabled.

  • I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like excel, word etc. 13"

    I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like  microsoft office products ...excel, word etc.  I am new to the apple world and have liked the idea of the MAC Book Pro 13" but really dont know if this is good enough or if the computer will soon crash?
    13-inch: 2.6GHz
    with Retina display
    Specifications
    2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
    Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
    8GB 1600MHz memory
    512GB PCIe-based flash storage1
    Intel Iris Graphics
    Built-in battery (9 hours)2

    That's a fine machine and, with 8GB of RAM and 512GB flash storage should serve you well for light video/photo editing as well as for 'normal' usage. And it should last you for years to come.
    Good luck in making your decision!!
