Macbook repaired, but should I get money back?

I recently turned my Macbook over to my local store to fix a backlight problem. I was quoted £95 to replace the 'Board, Inverter' but when I collected it it was only £66 so was grateful. However, replacing this part did not fix the problem in any way so back I went to Apple. This time they replaced the "Cable, Inverter" and I have it back now and it seems fixed. Now, I am under the impression that this cable did not cost as much as the part that was needlessly replaced, so should I demand some money back from Apple?
Regards

Unfortunately, that's the way that "out of warranty" repairs work. They will try what they can to repair the problem... but for difficult to diagnose problems... they may not always get it on the first try. They provided the service (labor) and part, so there isn't any reason for them to be out that expense. That's one of the problems that getting an extended warranty can help to avoid (at least during the warranty period). That's pretty much the case with any type of repair. If you bring a car in for service and they do what they can... and it is not clear that the problem still exists after the service (this is especially common for intermittent problems)... you will generally not be refunded the cost of the service that was performed.
Having said that... there certainly is no harm in contacting Apple to discuss it with them. There's just no way for anyone here to let you know how they will respond.

I would like to buy my boyfriend the iphone 5. He has an upgrade - but can I purchase it for Christmas now and get money back when he activates and uses his upgrade?

Or purchase an Apple Gift Card for him to use to get a phone at Apple after Christmas. He gets the card as the Christmas gift and can go get the phone himself. It would cost you the same amount of money.

How do I get money back when a purchase you made is unplayable on your device

How do you get money back that you spent on a purchase but the item is unplayable on your device

If you are looking for a refund for the purchase of this application, you must request this from the support web site for the itunes or app's store. You should note that officially the iTunes Store does not give refunds and that the terms of sale state that "all sales are final". You can ask, though, and perhaps they'll make an exception for you. Just state why you feel a refund is deserved.

How to get money back for Nokia n97?

Hi Guys!
I gave up with Nokia N97!!! I have a lot of problems with it. All of them are known. While this 2,5 months of using the device I was so **bleep** off and felt very uncomfortable while using it! Is that what we paid $700 for?? To see how good it is in the official video commercial and how damn SLOW, buggy and how bad the hardware is? I waited for software update and was hoping to see nice and fast device, oh! and working GPS! Instead - it's still the same "smart" which is most worse on nokia market. That's enough!
So now I have this question: How to get money back for Nokia n97 after 2,5 months of usage? or maybe exchange to n900? I will call to customer care center soon but maybe someone of you have done this already and you can give some tips?
Thank You!
Cheers

Okay... but then there's nothing there? It just says "There are no purchased movies to be downloaded" (roughly translated from Danish)...

HT4906 I deleted iphoto on Macbook Air, how do i get it back?

I deleted iphoto on Macbook Air, how do i get it back?

Reinstall it.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Anyway to get money back or anyway to try to download again without being charged

Anyway to get money back from downloading a rental or a way to download again with paying for it. This stinks.... Rental won't play on my Apple TV

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.
Currently, if your purchase happens to be your most recent purchase you will not be redirected to the report form, in this case use the report a problem option from the invoice that was emailed to you.

No, but you can save a photo on FaceBook.
Try downloading/saving the video from FaceBook on your computer. If successful, after doing so you can transfer the video to your iPhone along with any photos on your computer or alone. They transfer won't be in the Camera Roll, it will be in your iPhone's Photo Library.

No, you cannot get your money back.
If you have tried the basics restart, reset, restore, then make an appointment at the genius bar. If the iphone is defective then they will replace it.
