OT but no logical place: Apple Stores

Way OT, but do Apple stores generally carry Mac-related magazines? I'm hoping to find a copy of Filemaker Advisor when I travel soon.

I live pretty far from and Apple Sore and only get to one when I visit Portland OR a couple of times a year. The store there is one of the smaller format mall stores (in Washington Square Mall). The store used to have a section devoted to books and magazines but, on my last visit in June, that space had been usurped by iPod and iPhone accessories. If the store you plan to visit is bigger, the odds are better.
If you know the store location, call ahead and ask.

My iPhone 5 is eligable for battery replacement but there is no Apple Stores in my country. Any advices what should I do?

Hello, I live in Montenegro and I bought used iPhone 5 off ebay few months ago. Phone is sim free but I notice really poor battery life. I have to charge it twice a day! Before 5 I used iPhone 4 and I had to charge every night but I could use the phone all day and I was fine with that. I checked and my iPhone is eligable for battery replacement program but there are no Apple Stores in Montenegro. There is T-Mobile which sells iPhones but I didn't buy mine over there. Is there a way for me to take advantage of this program? Can I get Apple to send me new battery and I will have local repair shops (which are very good) to replace the battery? I am ready to take full responsibility for that. If that is not an option could I visit apple store in US (example) and change my battery there for free, given that it is not bought over there?

This is how you get Service in your Country
The iPhone support site has troubleshooting articles to help you solve your iPhone issue on your own. If you have reviewed those articles and still need service for your iPhone, you can contact your carrier.Note: There may be a fee for diagnostic service. Please do not send any accessories with your iPhone because they will not be returned to you.
However the iPhone could have come from anywhere in the world since you purchased secondhand from eBay
You are correct T-Mobile will not touch the iPhone .
If you check the model number in settings>>>general>>>about >>>Model
if you google that number you will find out where the iPhone originated .If an EU country then you would be eligible for assistance in any other EU country
if not then which ever country comes up is the only source of help
This version of the link above is a European version maybe more relevant

I use iphone4,but can't find apple store application please help me

I use iphone4,but can't find apple store application please help me

Malek,
Facetime for iphone is not available in the App Store because it is already built into any iphone that is FaceTime compatible, and I think that includes iphone 4. You should be able to find Facetime amongst the other built in applications that came with it. However, it is possible that if it was purchased in certain countries where Facetime is not allowed, the App was not included.

I know this doesn't belong in the iTunes community, but there is no Apple store community. I go to redeem my apple gift card. I press redeem online and it brings me back to the home page!

He will have to go to an Apple Store or an Apple-authorised repair centre, and he will need the invoice for the Mac so that he can prove it's his.

I am using windows Vista and having this problem also (not exactly, but iTunes gives pop-up that "files are in use"). Acting a suggestion from another answer in this thread, I clicked on Computer and selected eject...windows did warn me that the device was in use, but also gave me a CONTINUE button, which I clicked and it was ejected...had to go back to iTunes and eject the iPod there also, but it did eject

I cannot purchase in game, it keeps saying cannot find your Apple ID, but works fine in apple store download

We'll, I recently get a new phone, and I used my old phones back ups. And now I can not purchase in game with my Apple ID, it keep saying " cannot find your Apple ID or wrong password" but I can still purchase in Apple store
And it works just fine in the old phone

There are a lot of reports of people having this problem (including me). The Apple iTunes store has been having other issues as well (some speculate it might be related to the recent Lion release).
You could open a case with Apple, or you could just wait it out. I'm sure Apple is in the process of fixing it since this seems to be hitting a lot of users.

Want a Macbook, but nervous, went to Apple store to listen for whine...

They had 6 MacBooks, 3 1.8s and 3 2.0s, and -every- -single- -one- of them had the whine.
Wow.
I'd never heard it before, just read about it, but it's really an unmistakeable sound. I personally could never live with it, but I could see how in a loud environment for some people it might be overlookable.
I really want to buy one and was hoping the ones that made the noise were few and far between, but I came away concluding that most likely nearly all of them do it, because the sound was nearly identical on every machine. Though putting the plug in on one of them made it go down a bit.
It's really surprising they released these as is, imo. You couldn't have one on in a meeting, for example. It would definitely disturb conversation.
On the plus side though, I didn't think the heat was too bad. Certainly hotter than my PB G4, and I wouldn't want to put it on my lap, but the and keyboards were not remotely too hot to touch. Granted they weren't doing CPU intensive stuff, but they presumably had been powered up all day.
Various Macs and PCs Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I had occasion to visit one of our local Apple Stores (Bridgeport Village) tonite. They had 9 MBP's on display in various locations in the store. The store was practically empty and so I went to each one and listened closely including putting my ear to the speakers on each side, listening carefully for any noise. I can tell you that NONE (ZERO, NADA, ZILCH) had any audible sound, whine or otherwise. They were quieter than my machine, which is a week 8 and has no whine, just the usual fan noise.
This store had a pretty laid back staff. I was able to randomly determine S/N configs on about 4 machines - 8610, 8609, 8613, 8610.
According to the manager, they've had a few machines brought back in for heat issues, but the whine issue has been "...a big nothing". We've heard about it, but we've never seen a machine brought in with anything that approaches the descriptions we read about on this newsgroup. We try to check each machine we display and we've frequently opened machines and helped customers get set up. But that's the extent of our exposure. Our machines run 24/7 and while they get warm, we wouldn't call any of them hot, and, like you, we don't hear any whines.
So, obviously mileage varies widely.

The applestore in berkeley told me that my iphone 5 hasnt a retina display, but i bought in apple store and now ?

hey guys i bought my iphone 5 in germany in a apple store, im a exchange student livin in berkely CA now. last week felt my iphone down and there is a problem under the display and i wen to the apple store in berkeley.. and they couldnt fix it and in addition they told me the display of my iphone arent the retina display from apple is. they gave me the adress from a repair store in berkeley downtown to fix it.. i didnt understand why "the apple store" cant fix the iphone ?

The warranty on the iphone is NOT international. It is only valid in the country of purchase (the EU is considered one country for warranty purposes). You wil need to send your phone back home to someone in Germany or another EU country to bring the phone into Apple. When it's done being serviced they can send it back to you.

I cannot sign in my password on Face Time on my iphone4 but,I can use apple store with my password and ID

I cannot sign my password on Face Time on my iphone4 but can use my password in the apple store

Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

It sounds as if you are trying to use the US store. Use the Japan store or use the US store with a US based address, credit card and phone number.

I bought the wrong gift card. I wanted to buy an itunes gift card but instead I accidentally got Apple store gift card via email. How can I buy an itunes gift card using my apple store gift card?

I Wanted to buy itunes gift card but instead I got apple store gift card accidentally how can I buy itunes gift card using my apple store gift card?

You can't from Apple, they don't let you buy iTunes gift cards with an Apple Store gift card. You could see if a different store in your country might let you (though they possibly won't), or try selling the card to somebody e.g. family, friend, eBay etc

The orientation of the apple store on my iPad appears to look limited and like an iPhone. I deleted the apple store app and reinstalled but no luck. Also the screen doe not rotate

My apple store app will not change orientation when I rotate my iPad and appears limited . I deleted the app and reinstalled but didnot fix it

The "Apple Store App" is an iPhone app and while it works on the iPad, you cannot change the orientation of the app. You can enlarge it by tapping on the 2X in the bottom corner, but you cannot rotate the app on the screen.

The trouble with the apple store

Have to vent - customer relations is closed for the weekend.
I ordered a new customized macbook pro in April 2010 - high resolution matte display, 8 GB ram, 7200 rpm hard drive, core i7 processor. Sadly, a hard drive failure occured in August 2010. I brought the laptop to a local apple store and was told it would be 1-3 days to replace the hard drive. Fair enough. Only, a week later I was told the hard drive replacement hadn't fixed the problem. I was then given the option to have the laptop replaced but told it would be a couple of weeks since it was a customized system. Fair enough. Two weeks later I picked up the replacement. Sadly,I discovered that neither the high resolution displacy nor the 7200 rpm hard drive were on the replacement unit, so I returned it. I was told it would be another couple of weeks to replace the laptop, but that I could borrow the incorrect laptop while awaiting the arrival of the correct one. Fair enough. Only, two weeks later I was called and told the correct replacement laptop was on hold since they didn't have the serial number for the laptop I was borrowing (the incorrect laptop). OK, so I gave them the serial number and was told it would be another couple of weeks. It is now October. I've just called the apple store to check on the status of the order (status is 'unavailable' online and the geniuses never call). I'm told the laptop hasn't arrived and that they are unable to tell me when it will.
My question is: where does the buck stop? apple makes great products, but I think the apple store is like a hive - lots of activity - entirely unclear who's the boss. Everyone and no one is responsible. They are all friendly. They all make sure that they have your e-mail adress and your cell phone number. But they never actually use them. In the two months I've been trying to get my laptop replaced I've received one call - to let me know they didn't have the serial number on the incorrect replacement.
p.s. it takes a few days to order a new customized macbook pro and have it delivered - unless it's the apple store, in which case it takes a couple of months. or more?

customer relations is closed for the weekend
Call them (800-275-2273) on Monday, then. It took Apple three attempts over three months to get me a working CTO MBP 17 last year, but things eventually worked out, and Customer Service was willing to extend themselves to smooth things over with me. My only other advice is to be as civil on the phone as you were in this post. ; )
Good luck!
