Order not ready for pick up second time

yesterday i bought a macbook for store pick up because i need it for travel and work. 3 hours went by and i never got the prduct released because the bridge decided to sit on it even though customer service said all was clear. i had to cancel order. today i gave best buy a second chance and its been 3 hours and i still have been heald up again. this is really making me never want to buy from best buy again nor recomend it.

Hi there Ebiasaf1983,
When making a purchase for travel and work, it can be a bit nerve racking to ensure you get it in time, especially if you are leaving soon for your travels! Generally speaking, our Store Pickup option is the perfect option in such a situation as you can place the order and have it ready for you when you get to the store.
I'm sorry to hear that your MacBook order may have been taking longer than you anticipated to process so that our store may fulfill it. It is discouraging to hear that this led you to cancel your order, and that you encountered a similar experience when you decided to try replacing the order. Using the email address you registered with the forum, I was able to see that you were able to pickup your order last night. If you should need any further assistance, please let us know!
Regards,

HP Envy 700-214 desktop drivers not ready for Windows 10 Prime Time

Really disappointed in HP for not being ready for W10 rollout. I upgraded my HP Envy desktop PC 700-214 and after the upgrade, I could not connect to the internet. Didn't recognize the networking hardware. Went to HP Support (on different computer) and found out here aren't W10 drivers yet for this machine. Very Poor.My wife has a Dell laptop and we have another older Dell that upgraded no problem. Why because Dell is on top of their $__t when it comes to this stuff.Won't by HP again.

Also with the lastest Windows HP will probably not support redoing drivers for older system as that will be cost prohibited to do. And it will be up to the Endusers to find the right drivers and software that matches their system to work with Windows 10 assuming they work with Windows 10. As to Dell that is something only Dell can answer that question and since we don't know if this is Dell Consumer or Business product since this falls outside of HP forums to discuss. You can't expect to have drivers if your system is too old to support Windows 10.

Smash Bros Preorder Bundle Not Available In Spite of Email Saying it Was Ready for Pick Up

I had preordered ({removed per Forum Guidelines}) the Wii U Smash Bros Bundle (SKU: 7493005) on 8/4/14 at bestbuy.com utilized the pick up in store option (may be the last time I do that). When I went to the Middletown (461), NY store to pick it up yesterday before 3pm. I did not anticipate any issues since I received an email saying that my order was ready for pick up and have never had a problem when I have gotten such an email.
When I arrived at the store, I had to wait for someone to finish with another customer. The associate attempted to find my game, but it was not at the customer service desk. She had another employee look elsewhere, but I had to leave. The and the game was not found. I had to leave to pick up my daughter from school, so she took my name and number down. About 10 minutes later I got a call telling me that the store oversold its preorders and there was a system error. I was told that it would be in sometime in the next week.
After getting my daughter, I went back to the store because I could not understand how this happened. This time, I was helped by Brittany. The game was still not there and I was given the same explanation. I asked how preorders were filled because I had preordered in August and it just seems strange that I would get an email telling me that the product was there when it was not. Based upon what others have written that they were told, it seems that online preorders should have been satisified first since they are paid in full.
Brittany was quite helpful and called the Monroe, NY (1394) store to see if they had a physical copy since the computer system said they did. Whoever she spoke with in Monroe confirmed that they had a physical copy and Brittany asked that it be held at the in store pick up desk. She then transferred the store pick up over and I drove to Monroe with my family in tow.
When I got to Monroe, I had not gotten an email confirming that the pick up was ready, but I went to the desk anyway to explain the situation. Victor looked around and did not see it. A shift leader/manager came over to assist, but there was no physical copy. I was understandably upset. The shift leader/manager called around to other stores to locate a physical, but to no avail.
After waiting nearly 30 minutes, I came up with another "solution" because my family was on the brink of a meltdown give that it was after 5:00 pm. So, I got a copy of the game and the gamecube controller, which are 2 of the 3 parts of the bundle that I ordered. The only missing component was the controller adapter ($19.99), but since that was available in stock online at Best Buy.com I figured that I would get that in a couple of days.
So, being that I am in the Gamers Club Unlocked, I get 20% off new games. The Bundle is $99.99, so I got it for $79.99 before tax. But if I buy the components parts, I would only get a discount on the game and not the controller and adapter because the discount does not apply to hardware. The shift leader/manager agreed to give me the appropriate discounts so that my total cost when I purchase the $19.99 adapter would not exceed $79.99 pretax. So, while I was made "whole," I really wasn't because I did not have the entire bundle and I wasted at least two hours of my life.
So, after leaving the store I promptly place on order ({removed per Forum Guidelines}) for the adapter on my smartphone. It says that it should ship so that I would get it by 11/26. No problem right? Wrong, because I get a subsequent email saying that it is backordered and that I can expect it sometime between 12/5 and 12/17.
So, I would like some type of compensation for my trouble. I would be happy with a $25 gift card. I should not have to deal with this type of issue, especially when I place a preorder so far in advance and spend several thousand dollars a year in your store.
1. How can you oversell a preorder? That is like overselling movie theater tickets. It is an unacceptable business practice.
2. How can an employee identify an item in stock in another store, confirm its existence, and then it not be there? Thankfully, I only had to drive 20 minutes back and forth, but it was 40 minutes that I did not have to drive.
The only positive in the whole thing was that the shift leader/manager in Monroe was so understanding. But even there, I had to come up with that idea.
I would appreciate a response and at least the above compensation.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Darrell {removed per Forum Guidelines}

Hello darrell521,
I can’t thank you enough for the amount of detail you’ve provided in your post! Our in-store pickup process should be very streamlined for our customers who pre-order games at Best Buy and what you’ve described with your Super Smash Bros pre-order is quite the opposite. I sincerely apologize for the effort you had to put into redeeming the items needed to recreate the bundle, especially since you should have simply been provided your original copy upon your first arrival to our store!
In reviewing your BestBuy.com order for the adapter, I see that it actually did ship and I believe you’ve already received it! I’m happy to know that it’s very possible you’ve been able to play Super Smash Bros the way you originally intended. With that, I’m going to send you a private message with further information in regards to your purchases. Keep an eye on your inbox, which is located to the top right of your screen when logged into the forums.
Thanks for sharing your feedback with us on the forums and you’ll be hearing from me soon.

Firefox beta 35 not ready for prime time.

I have spent the entire weekend trying to get the Firefox beta 35 to work. What I have found is that *all* extensions fail to work with the exception of Places Maintenance. I can not download any extension Firefox is so famous for. The error is something like "cannot install 'plugin-name' in it's current state." Enabling any extension require a FF restart, even Places Maintenance. Trying to remove an extension fails and must be done manually.
I am on Windows 7 Premium desktop Firefox, 32 bit. I "committed" myself to FF 35 last night (which meant clearing history and cache on exit because the extension "Expire History by Days" was no longer working), when I discovered that 35 was not playing nice with some sites using Flash. It was a capricious thing. Many sites worked as normal but some would not render at all. Examples:
http://www.wunderground.com/US/WI/La_Crosse.html
http://www.weather.com/weather/5day/l/Hustler+WI+54637:4:US
First time I have has a problem with a Firefox beta, but it is definitely not ready for prime time. I realize FF is attempting to get away from what we are calling "Proprietary add-ons" but FF 35 in its present state will just fill the Moz Support forums with millions of complaints (guess I am one of the first). I have at present 1 extension (the only one that works on 35), the above mentioned "Places Maintenance."
I thought you might like this report as "user input." God knows I have tried...I must have downloaded 35 at least a dozen times and then been forced back to 34.0.5. So I am back on 34.0.5
I have submitted a bug report here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1108196
Let me know if anyone else is having these problems or anyone needs more information. I'd love to help fix this. I know some of you good support people have probably tried 35. Are you having the same difficulties?

Set item categaries of sales order is not relevant for picking

dear friends:
when i created the outbound delivery and must maintain the picking quantity of materails.i change the configration of system so that not nessesary maintain the picking quantity. set item categaries of sales order is not relevant for picking via t_code:vlop,what it effect .help me analyze it .
best regards.

Hello,
In TA :OVLP set/reset the indicator according to your requirement.
In the case of outbound deliveries, only the delivery items that are relevant for picking are transferred to the Warehouse Management (WM) component. Certain items such as text items or service items (consulting activities) are not relevant for picking.(in those cases uncheck the box)
In the case of inbound deliveries, this indicator controls whether the item is relevant for putaway.
This indicator must be set in order for the item to be included in a Warehouse Management transfer order and then put away.

Nisha

Mark field in Sales Order as 'not ready for input'

Hi there!
I'd like to mark a field in the sales order as not ready for input. I need to refresh my memory on how this is done! The particular field is screen field: VBKD-KURSK.
Many thanks in advance

Hi Elizabeth,
you could use a transaction variant (SHD0). Maybe ther e is another easier solution...

V4.0 won't start. crashes each time. Had to go back to previous version. Version 4 is just not ready for general release, it is massively messed up. The online fixes here had no effect whatsoever. VERY DISSAPOINTED

tried automatic upgrade from within 3.6.. did not work..crashed upon re-start. tried remove program completely for a fresh install..same thing crash upon V4.0 start up....
Reinstalled 3.6.15...
4.0 is NOT READY for general release. Tried the fixes as suggested here, but they were useless and no help what-so-ever.
Very dissapointing, as I've been using Firefox as my only browser since it was introduced years ago.. this may be the end of the line....VERY DISSAPOINTED

HT5714 Pre-Orders are not downloading for days at a time?

I have received the email stating that my Pre-Order is ready for download, so went and did the 'Check for Available Downloads' and nothing, restarted iTunes and checked again and nothing, now it's the next day and still NOTHING??
The movie I'm referring to is the new "Hansel and Gretel: Which Hunters (2013)"

Only just now I decided to try something else and so went into iTunes, then the iTunes Store and selected 'Account' in the Quick Links menu on the right-hand side, it popped up and asked me to re-login, so I did and low and behold I got a pop-up message stating that I had pre-orders ready for download and if I wished to download them now to click "Ok", so I did and my stalled pre-orders came to life and started downloading... wish Apple could improve on this but now I'm happier they're downloading

Item Cat NLN appears not relevant for picking even it is relevant in 0VLP

Dear Expert,
We have an issue in on the behavior of the item category we assigned to the replenishment delivery. The transaction starts from an STO-PO and create a replenishment delivery on the background via VL10B. The replenishment delivery was successfully created. The weird thing is, item cat NLN is relevant for picking. I checked the item cat assigned to the replenishment delivery and it shows NLN but it appears as not relevant for picking as picked quantity column is uneditable. Seems weird and this is my first time to encounter such issue. I tried browsing the net and had no luck to find same scenario. Can somebody please tell me what could be the possible cause of this issue? Thank you in advance!
Kind regards,
Mark

Mark,
Is the inventory warehouse managed or inventory managed? Usually, if you are in an inventory managed scenario, the system lets you directly input a picked quantity directly on the delivery. If you are in a warehouse managed scenario, you have to create a transfer order to do picking. You can check this by looking at field "OverallWMStatus" on the "picking" tab of the delivery. If the status says "WM Transfer Order required" you are in a WM managed scenario and have to carry out picking via a transfer order.
More information here.
Otherwise, I am not sure what the issue is!

Where is the "not ready for input" field stored in SAP?

Hi,
In the tcode CT04, the 'Additional Data' tab has a field called 'not ready for input'. I want to find this value in a table. I thought it was in CABN-ATINP but this does not seem to be populated all the time.
e.g.
1. characteristic ABCDE has the value checked in CT04 but there is no entry in CABN-ATINP
2. characteristic ZYXWV has the value checked in CT04 and there is an entry in CABN-ATINP
Does anyone know:
a) why?
b) how to find the value for point 1 above?
Thanks,
Kroc.

obviously, that is wrong.
It is true that the ATINP value for batches which have a reference field in CT04 does not ever change but having a reference field does not necessarily mean that it should be display mode.
Anyone know why the reference field stops the ATINP field update?
And how does the program know that it should be 'not ready for input' when the ATINP flag is not changed?
Thanks.

Not relavent for Picking

Hi,
1) After Sales order When I am trying to create delivery its automatically showing
ITEM NOT RELEVENT FOR PICKING.
2) Its not taking Quantity,
But item isrelevant for picking,
Plz can you suggest me
thanks

Tiru,
Check the storage location under which you found the Stock and see whether the delivery is pointing to the same storage location or not..
If possible try to add the stock into the storage location of the plant that the delivery is pointing to..
I hope this should resolve your issue..

Ajai

Fixed. /Users/x/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/AirKeysInputManager.bundle got corrupted by a badly installed safari extension. Deleting this, then reinstalling adobe air did the trick. I wasn't thorough enough on my first try, it was tricky to find everything associated. I had to look for files in the console log then search for them. Spotlight was missing some deep files, EasyFind worked better for me.

What will going to happend with app that are not ready for IOS 5?

What will going to happend with app that are not ready for IOS 5?

Most applications will work just fine. I typically have 150 or so apps installed, and typically only 1 or 2 will "break". The vast majority of apps will continue to operate just as well as before if not better. iOS developers are privy to beta testing the upcoming OS, so the week or so before and after the official release you'll see a larger number of apps needing to be updated than normal. Last night I updated 23 apps, and you'll see alot over the next week or two getting updates. Most are making minor changes to take advantage of new APIs, or add a new feature based on a new function of the OS (like twitter integration into the OS for example). Very few apps, (maybe 3-4 percent??) actually are getting updated because they're broken, but there will be a few. Most of the time, any apps that would break will have already been addressed in an update prior to the release of the new OS, and you've probably already updated that app so that it will work seamlessly and perfectly after the update hits.

Linux is not ready for the desktop - Mandriva devs

I just read this in the latest DistroWatch Weekly:
You wouldn't expect something like this to happen at any time, let alone on the eve of Mandriva Linux 2007 release. Last week, two Mandriva developers went on record saying that "Linux is not ready for the desktop". In a web log post entitled Why I'll never use Linux for my main desktop, Vincent Danen concluded: "This kind of thing is precisely why, for me, Linux belongs on the server. Now if those kernel-developing idiots would get their act together and give us a 2.6 kernel that was a) stable and b) supported for more than a week, then I'd really be pleased." Another Mandriva developer, Fabrice Facorat, agreed. In a post called Linux ready for Desktop? Of course not!, he had this to say: "For me when you have control over the environment and the hardware, Linux is ready: think servers, workstations, thin clients, kiosks. However when you have no control on the hardware, Linux is not ready because it somewhat lacks flexibility."
There you have it, right from the horse's mouth! From two guys who have been working for a Linux company, developing a popular desktop Linux distribution, for years! Yes, that's right, Mandriva Linux is not ready for your desktop! Don't waste your money buying it!
One really has to wonder about the future of a company which happily asks Gaël Duval to leave, yet is quite pleased to keep developers who publicly hint that they consider Linus Torvalds, Alan Cox and other kernel developers "idiots"! A perfect pre-release PR, non?
No comments... I just cannot find any words. :shock: :?

ughhhh. Mandrake have always sucked at marketing, they do themselves no favours. IMHO, they're becoming more and more irrelevant with each release. Once upon a time I might have reccomended mandrake to a newbie, but certainly not now. They've got great assets and a good base. The *potential* to become a good distro. But each release, stupid bugs make it through, and the improvements seem negligable.
Once of their better features is their huge repository of packages -- which is horrendously poorly advertised. You'll find nowhere in the GUI's or desktop a place to access their 'contrib' repo which is the equivalent of our extra, and contains a huge amount of packages. Also an important point for mandriva has been mandrakeusers.org/mandrivausers.org, which has been a huge community offering great support for newbies to mandrake, rather than directing them into the expensive mess that is known as the mandriva club. Mandriva have totally ignored this resource, and have made no attempt to support this board, upon which you'll find, I have quite a reasonable post count from back in my early days of Linux (mandriva 8.2 was first distro), and continuing on to now. It also exemplifies their (lack of) decent customer support.
The distro has had countless irritating bugs which pervaded through releases, and all sorts of utterly stupid ones that should never have made it through the testing process. They do little to help themselves with this. I've reported countless bugs, and all of them have been ignored for months. On their last release, they included the old rt2500 module, which at the time, hard locked SMP machines, and made my mandriva unbootable as it was loaded on boot. I filed a bug, marked it as high priority and it was utterly ignored for more than 6 months, so much so I had forgotten about it. Other bugs and emails have suffered a similar fate.
It's GUI tools, have become a complete mess, for example wireless, in 2006 release, was absolutely horrendous to configure, and had no support for WPA -- wpa_supplicant wasnt even on the CD's so people could configure it manually.
It's good to see they're finally ditching their old desktop theme, which they dragged on for far too long. It's always been absolutely hideous.
Their business model emphasises the 'club' far too much, making it difficult to even find a download on their site for the standard version, which has "Free" tacked all over it, as if to try and make you feel like a cheapskate. Doesnt help how they change their release cycle frequently either.
The stupidity of Mandriva just confounds me. PR like this does nothing to help them. They criticise the developers for not providing a 2.6 kernel that is stable. Maybe mandriva should look in their own backyard, and offer a distro that's remotely stable. Last time I used it, it had a horrendously old udev, hotplug, and a very slow hardware detection system. It still used bootsplash, which has been unmaintained for over two years, and included supermount, which Con Kolivas has disowned and again, has abandoned for years. They're hardly doing themselves favours patching their kernels with this out of date crap. Nor do they update them, I dont see mandriva offering updates to newer ones, which would no doubt fix many of the reported issues.
Alternatively they could do what other distros do and pitch in and help. Many of the kernel developers are also employees of other vendors, or have an important part in other distros, such as Daniel Drake and Robert Love. It'd be great for mandrake if they employed a kernel developer, because it's clear THEY are the ones who are the idiots.
I have no idea how they made it out of their bankrupcy, with the lacklustre state of their miserable distro, I think their days are numbered, unless they do something to change around their image and fix their product.
ok, im done.
