Major in Mac rebate denied... why?!?!

I bought a Mac Pro on the online Apple Store right when it came out. At checkout, I was given the option to buy an iPod, as it said that my purchase qualified me to get $179 rebate on this item. I filled in the information, got the computer, sent in the rebate, and today I got a letter denying me the rebate!!!
I even checked the online status and I got the same message: "In accordance with the terms and conditions established for this promotional offer, your claim is ineligible and no rebate can be issued."
***?!?! I just spent an extra $179 + tax on something I would have otherwise not purchased, and now I'm being denied on it. This is my first Mac, and I'm pretty livid with Apple at the moment. Why would they tell me I was eligible if I wasn't?
I'm planning on calling the 888 number for their customer service, but I'm sure they'll have some stupid excuse for me. Maybe I'll contact some local media sources as well, including some college newspapers who might want to let their students know about this underhanded tactic to get your money.
Anyone have any advice in this situation? This really ****** me off.

Here is a link to a PDF on the Apple website that lists the qualifying products. The Mac Pro IS on this list! For those who got denied, use this as evidence against them to give you your rebate.

I've been on several calls to various Apple customer support numbers today (and still on hold with their Customer Relations department) and will let you guys know what happens.

It is necessary to confirm your identity as the 'buyer'. Please do not use all capital letters. It is not well regarded here and can be tricky to read for some. Thank you.

Will it cease to work on 30 June, and if so do I have to buy leapord and then lion, updgrade and re-sync/lose a number of things?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Yes, if you do not migrate from your MobileMe account to iCloud you will lose access to all your services after June 30, 2012.
Lion (10.7.2 or better) is required for iCloud. If you have a MobileMe account Apple are giving you Snow Leopard free of charge, this will install the App Store on your computer from where you will be able to purchase and upgrade to lion.

Mac OSX Lion: Why does PS CS6 BETA stop responding after attempting to import pdf?

Mac OSX Lion: Why does PS CS6 BETA stop responding after attempting to import single pdf or multiple pdfs? frequently happens(2/3 times)

Can you provide any more information about the files that are causing the problems? Are these particularly large files? Many pages or images? Have you opened these files in Photoshop CS5, or other versions of Photoshop?
What do you see when you try to import these PDFs? Do you get the PDF Import dialog, allowing you to select pages or images from the PDF? Is so, is it hanging when you click OK or at another time?
Any more details about the problem or other info (as well as sample files) you can provide, the easier it will be for us to help identify the cause of your problems.

Perhaps you could explain how it won't update?
What have you tried?
Any error messages?
Any messages at all?
Have you tried Apple menu > Software Update?
You should be at Mac OS X 10.7.5 (not 10.7.4).

I cannot open Photoshop Elements 10 since upgrading to OS 10.9 on my Mac Mini. Why? Solution?

can anyone explain why I cannot open Elements 10 since I upgraded to OS 10.9 on my mac mini?

It is very important to delete the preferences on doing a major OS X upgrade:
http://barbarabrundage.com/2013/10/28/photoshop-elements-and-os-x-mavericks/
For PSE 10 that would be:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 paths
com.adobe.ElementsOrganizer.10.plist
com.adobe.Elements Organizer.10.0.plist
Also, there's a known bug between adobe applications and using cover flow view in finder windows in 10.9:

so be sure to put your windows into list or icon view.

Lion won't install on my Mac mini. Why?

I have a 2 yr old Mac mini with 2.53 GHz Core Duo CPU, 4 GB of RAM and it's running 10.6.8. I just downloaded Lion but the installer says it can't install on my HD. Why not? I cannot find any info about what to do.
Is there some software on my computer that the installer does not like?
Does Lion need a completely new partition to install on?
If so, why is this not mentioned anywhere ?
Thankyou for your help.

Lion creates a recovery area with a minimal version of OS X and it may be unable to do so due to use over the years, and possibly other resizing operations (Boot Camp). It could just need more space, if you only have less than 8gb free. Lion shuffles and merges the two systems when it upgrades. You can burn the image downloaded from App Store by finding the dmg file inside the "Install Mac OS X Lion.app" bundle, dragging it into disk utility, then burning from there.
Otherwise, you can appropriate a MBR/BIOS formatted 4GB thumbdrive, 8GB of either EFI or MBR/BIOS thumbdrive, flash storage device, or external hard drive, and format it, using the restore operation through disk utility to copy the contents of the installer disk to the media. Exposed via the alt key before the Apple logo, should show the bootable media, where you can format over the former installation.
As always, backup your files when upgrading. I recommend if your installion is over a year old to wipe and upgrade if you can't make otherwise the media bootable, using your 10.6 recovery dvd.
If you cannot find an external medium to backup your files before the upgrade, if you need to format via disk utility (Through 10.6 media), you can consider Dropbox as an option (2GB free account).
It's not uncommon for the partition to simply refuse operations, including upgrades and resizing.

Trying to post my question and being denied, why?

I had an incident happen on my MacBook Pro and needed help with it. I created my question and clicked POST. After I clicked POST nothing happened and it appeared my question did not post. I thought something went wrong with posting my MacBook Pro question. I checked my activity page and looked for my new entry and it was not listed. I went back and tried to post again. This time I was sent a pink banner that read "You are not allowed to create or update this content." At the bottom of my question box it said "Auto-saved" with the date and time listed. I am confused now. I have searched all over looking for my question. It's no where. What has happened to my posted question? Why am I being denied access to it?

The Forum is haunted with glitches, you ran in to two. If you get the you can't post message first refresh the page if that doesn't work try a little later. If you get the message auto-saved versions etc,. tap recover or type a new question. If you find your question is in the wrong Forum reply to yourself and ask if someone will ask a host to relocate your post.

HT204406 I have subscribed to match on iTunes and organized my music on my Mac Book. Why does it not appear the same way on my iPad

I would like my music to appear organized in the same way on my iPad as I have done it on my Mac Book. (and on my iPhone as well) Since it is in the cloud, why does it not appear the same way in all devices?

The purpose of iTunes match is to make your music library available to all of your devices anywhere. It will sync Playlists, but no other type of organization you may have made.
If you're having trouble, be sure you are logged into the same Apple ID on all devices but be sure to read this article and pay special attention to associating your devices with an Apple ID. There are important restrictions you should know about.

Random muting of Mac sound. Why doesn't Mac adress this?

I am having a recurring problem with the sound randomly muting. In the System Preferences panel, the volume slider is grayed out and the 'mute' option is checked but also greyed out. This has been happening on and off for a while. Sometimes restarting works but not always. In googling this problem it is obvious that this has been happening to many people since at least 2008. What is going on here and why doesn't Mac fix this problem? It is a huge waste of time when working on a project to have to screw around with this.
Has anyone found a real fix other than just trying to reboot?
I am using a 27" iMac, 2.93 ghz/core i7, Mac OSX 10.7.4.

Import command on PSE-13 on Mac greyed out - why?

I recently installed an upgrade from PSE-11 to PSE-13 on my Mac running OS10.9.5 and the Import command under the File pull down menu is greyed out preventing me from inputting images from my scanner.

Hi, I have just upgraded from PSE11 to 13 and like many many people I find the Import / Export menu item is greyed out so I can no longer Import from my scanner which was fine in PSE11 - very frustrating !!! I have of course installed the plugin as advised but this does not work and yes at startup Twain building is apparently being carried out.
As stated in a previous Post one-on-one email support does not exist and Adobe just send a user in a loop of FAQs which never address the issue effectively. We appear to be suffering from Corporate Arrogance just like Apple. If one pays for support then maybe things, that should never have been a problem in the first place, get resolved. Why don't Adobe just remove the item from the menu and put us out of our misery.
I suppose it won't be long before Adobe will want monetise the use of Reader !!

My husband made a DVD of our photos on his 2011 Mac desktop. Why can't I play this on a DVD player. I've tried 3 times and the DVD players do not recognize the format

My husband made a DVD of our photos on his Mac desktop but I cannot play it on a DVD player. Why?

Drag the iDVD icon out of the Dock. Go to the Applications folder and drag iDVD back into the dock and try to open. If it still doesn't open try this basic troubleshooting fix :
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder. Once you make the library visible you'll be able to find and delete the files mentioned above.

Two MAJOR gripes with iPhone Email - Why doesn't Apple get it? Work around?

I'm in a business that for organizational purposes requires me to have dozens if not hundreds of inbox subfolders, on the iPhone this is PAINFUL as you can't collapse those folders, they are expanded by default and there's no way to change that that I know of.; real handy when you need to scroll FOR EVER to get to your sent items to check a sent email or sometihng. WHY?
Second, for people that get hundreds of emails a day the "200 recent messages" selection isn't enough. This is a 32GB iPhone, why can't I download my entire 4GB mailbox to it? PLEASE? Or even 500MB of it...I could do this on a 6 yrear old Treo 700wx but not on the latest greatest "magical" iPhone? Come on'!
I just can't beleive we're 4 versions into this phone now and they STILL haven't made these changes.
Anyone know of a work around for these issues? Or maybe another mail client that can be used on the iPhone instead that would resolve this?

Apparently Apple didn't like my response...posted, they deleted...nice.
For the two of you saying "just use your laptop"...Of coures I use my laptop for emails as much as possible, however in my line of work about 20% of my time is in office, the other 80% is on the go and frequently I get calls that require me to reference an email from weeks ago...with my previous phone I was able to just dip into that folder, get the info and done; a few seconds at the most and I could do it at a stop sign or red light, or a speedy pull to the side...with the iPhone I have to pull over into a parking lot or something, get my laptop out, resume it, log back in, open outlook, dig the email out then put the laptop back and resume my travels. MAJOR time waster when I have to do this several times a day.
I don't think your reply was all that useful and was more intended as a bash; keep in mind not everyone is like you, not everyone works in your field or the way you work. In some lines of work immediate response is required so we can't just wait until we get back to a computer as one of you suggested...we need to be on the go a lot, ready for just about anything and prepared to answer questions about something that occurred weeks or months ago at the drop of a hat.
The iPhone is cool, it is a great device, but unless you want to see it stay as it is right now, features, looks, performance, etc and NEVER again change, I suggest you open yourselves up to the idea that it's not perfect and there are some changes that could be made to make it a much better device.
