Pre order of the apple watch

How long dose it take for apple to take money out for the pre-order for the apple sports Watch?

In the past purchases with Apple, my card has been hit for $1.00 within a week of making the pre-order. This is to insure that the card you provided is valid and has a credit line remaining to support the charge initiated for the Apple watch.....

When are Apple Watches available for pre-order within the UK? Time specific?

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if the Apple Watch will be available to pre order from 12am 10th April? Or can I sleep soundly until the morning before I can?
Also, I put this thread in the iPhone accessories community, as there isn't an Apple Watch one at the moment.

I have seen the UK servers go live at the time published ,local time not adjusted in the past
You may want to check c 12:00 Am if that is the Time Apple are quoting

Is there no pre-sign button on the Apple Watch shipping notification

I have received the shipping notification email from Apple. It says the shipment requires a signature. The usual "Pre-sign for this shipment" button is missing. Is there no way to leave a signature for UPS delivery of an APPLE WATCH? I have always been able to do that with iPhone and iPad UPS deliveries. This is a major hiccup.

I contacted Apple through the online live chat this morning, and the representative e-mailed me a copy of the pre-sign agreement for my watch order.
I just did a chat and got the following. So no pre-signing for me.
Because the Apple Watch is highly sought out, a signature is required. If you're not home when the courier attempts delivery, they'll leave a note on the door, and you can mention on the back of that note if you'd like them to leave the pakcage in a specific place!

HT4528 Why is it that everything is fine with my verizon account and apple is messing with my pre order of the iphone 5?

Why is it that everything is fine with my verizon account and apple is messing with my pre order of the iphone 5 telling me that verizon is "rejecting" my order.. My verizon account is fine, and I am eligible for an upgrade, there is no past due balance.. the order went from being prepared to ship back to processing 2 days before it's supposed to get here.. still says it's going to deliver 9/21, yet it still stuck in processing mode, called apple for the past couple of days since i ordered it ON TIME and basically spoke to 17 different people telling me all different things and seems as if it just becomes more and more of a problem..

this what most people say, track in on UPS website using your phone number. its TRUE and better tracking info

Pre-order iphone 4 Apple Store UK

Hi,
Some questions over the pre-ordering of the iPhone4, my contract runs out in December this year, o2 say I can upgrade early and pay £100.
Does anyone know that if I will be able to pre-order my upgrade through the Apple Store (UK), then collect at my local store.

Him just thought i should inform you that I already have an orange contract...and as I already have a a contract and a number i was also going to buy the new iphone 4 pay as you go...then ring up and transfer my existing number over to the new iphone...ONLY to find out apple are playing really clever this time...and then new micro sim you either have to have as a brand new contract or a brand new pay as you go sim...now this isn't great for pay as you as you will know from previous pay as you go tariffs that you will get a years free internet and then thats bout it....they WILL NOT let transfer any existing orange or other network numbers over to the new iphone 4 as its a micro sim...its probably true that it is physically possible but this is the way Apple are getting you to buy more contracts......
p.s. does anyone know when this pre-ordering starts..is it 12:01 of the 15th or 9am???

Pre-order line at Apple Store

So,I went over to the Apple Store in Glendale, CA to pick up my pre-ordered IPhone 4. There must be 1,000 people in the pre-order line. Apple, this is really insulting... Why did you guys limit pre-order pickup to one day??? What a waste of time. There's no way I'm going to wait in that line. ... This is a terrible way to treat your loyal customers.

I live in Nashville, TN and we have the only Apple store within 200+ miles and I pre ordered and had to wait four hours for my phone. I have it now so im good. You had to expect to wait. I got there at 5:30 A.M. and still had to wait. Try going back later. The non pre order line had at least 4000 people in and the pre order had about 1000 people.

What are the dimensions of the Apple Watch magnetic charger? Is the thickness the same for both the Watch Sport and Watch chargers?

I'm interested in the dimensions of the magnetic charger for both the Watch Sport and Watch. There are a number of third party charger stands out now and was wondering if a charger stand needs to be specific for the Sport or Watch or if any stand will fit accommodate both models.

Just for clarification, the white shown on the US Apple store charger is only a protective coating on the magnetic side so the charger doesn't scratch the watch. The remainder of the charger is polished metal. The Sport charger is entirely white, with no metal showing. The point is the magnetic charger ordered from the Apple store has a different thickness measurement from the magnetic charger that comes with the Watch Sport. This is only an issue for any aftermarket charging stand that expects chargers from both the Apple Watch and the Sport Watch to fit flush with the face of their stand. Only one or the other can fit flush. An option would be to manufacture for the thicker Sport Watch and include a 0.1" spacer for the Watch. This would allow either to fit flush with a stand face.
I'm done.

Has anyone pre-ordered in the last 48hrs

Hey everyone has anyone pre-ordered in the last 48 hours on either Apple's website or VZW website? If so what kind of turn around time have you seen as far as expected shipments and so forth....
This post is not to complain or anything just interested in what everyone else is seeing so take it with a grain of salt!

I almost did but decided to wait til I can actually try one in the store. I wouldn't buy a car without taking it for a test drive first. Just me though.

Pre-order of The Dead Weather Not Downloading

I previously pre-ordered The Dead Weather's new record. Today is the release date, but I can't seem to get the download. It appears in my "Manage Pre-orders" window in iTunes, where the only option is to Cancel. I've also gone to iTunes -> Store -> Check for Available Downloads, and I get nothing. My settings in Preferences are specified for iTunes to automatically download content like this.
Any idea what's happening? The record seems to be available for purchase right now, but I'm not able to fulfill my pre-order.

Apple support said that the delay is due to the timing of the delivery of the material from the artist. (What about that, Jack?) It is supposed to be available soon.
Thanks for that information. But isn't the album available to people to download *right now* on iTunes, so long as you aren't trying to fulfill a pre-order? It looked like that was the case this morning, and it still looks like that. I just haven't tried to actually purchase a track, since I don't want to pay for this twice. So I don't know if Apple's pass-the-buck answer really holds up here.

Do you have to leave the apple watch app open

I am awaiting my apple watch ordered late so have no idea when i will get it other than June. I had a pebble i liked it did the job till i had screen issues and returned it and preordered the 42mm space gray sport. One of the things i did not like about the pebble was having to leave the pebble app open on my phone for it to do most stuff can you close the apple watch app on the phone and still get 100% of the features from the watch. I have also seen people post photos of their iPhone battery usage showing the apple watch app using a lot of battery from the phone i know it may be from playing with a new toy but could be the app running in the background or a bug.

As far as battery life goes, I have heard reports of the watch causing a darining, but have no clue how to fix it.
Regarding the app, not at all, the app is simply for pairing, settings on for the watch, rearranging the home screen, and downloading apps. It does not have to be on all the time to stay connected.

Why can't I buy a movie that I pre-ordered, with the iTunes card already redeemed?

See, I bought an iTunes card the other day and redeemed it that same day. After doing so, I pre-ordered a movie that was expected to be released on the 18th of March(today). So I tried to purchase the movie I pre-ordered with the credit I redeemed from the iTunes card, but it is asking for my billing information. So I clicked on the link where it says "To redeem code, click here", and it asked me to enter a code. My concern is why can't I buy that movie I pre-ordered with I the money I have in my iTunes account?

You didn't purchase the movie, you pre-ordered it. So the code works to put in the pre-order for the movie. So it's on hold, so to speak. Then when the movie comes out (and only then) are you actually billed, so you have to enter the code again in case you or someone else who has access to your computer used some -- perhaps too much of the credit in the meantime.
If I use a regular credit card and pre-order something, oftentimes there is some kind of perk or extra included along with it for me in return for pre-ordering. Like an extra feature for example. I don't actually get billed until I actually get the movie and so it's kinda like that.
Did you lose the code?
If you did, I'm sorry, but you could call Apple & hopefully they will make things right.

My "regular guy" impressions of using the Apple Watch for a few days

I was asked by friends to give my impressions of owning an Apple Watch. I guess it all comes down to:
Is the Apple watch worth about a dollar a day for the first year, and free thereafter?
I guess that depends on how much value you put on being able to leave your phone on silent, remaining in your pocket most of the day.
Because of the Taptic notifications, which are distinct "taps" on the wrist by the Watch for different things, I no longer have to keep my phone volume on all day (iPhone vibrations weren't strong enough in my pocket to notify me reliably) leading to a much nicer all day experience. On top of that, when I do get a notification, I can quickly flick my wrist to see what it is instead of digging my phone out. Much nicer to quickly glance at the latest 20% off offer from "YouNeedThis!.com" and dismiss it than dig the phone out, unlock it, click on mail, ...grumble.
The ease of notifications alone makes it worth it to me. It is easy to quickly respond most of the time, too. I find myself using my phone WAY less, which is refreshing (and I am sure appreciated by those around me.)
And the chirps, pings, whistles that used to emanate from my pocket all day are gone. Ahhhhh.
A few other things I have found convenient:
Actually knowing the time, date, weather etc. easily. Sure, I could have been wearing a wrist watch for some of that, but for the last few years I have used my Smartphone for these things. They are just so much simpler on the wrist.
Answering the phone easily when doing something. I am not one to wear a Bluetooth headset around like a Borg, so being able to easily answer when my wife calls as I am fixing lunch for the kid is really convenient.
Having the next thing on my daily calendar right there visible when I look at the Watch. I use the Mickey Mouse watch face normally (hey, I have an 18 month old daughter who loves pushing and seeing Mickey "dancing") and right there on the bottom it tells me the next thing on the list. I don't know how other folks do things on their phones, but I always had trouble sifting through notifications on the phone seeing what was on the agenda for the day. Yeah I could go to the calendar several times during the day on the phone, but it wasn't convenient. It is simple on the Watch seeing what is coming up during the week. And I say "week" because the Watch only shows you what is coming up in the NEAR future. To me that makes sense. Again, it is all about quick information and what works best in a glance. On the Watch it makes sense to quickly see what is coming soon. On the phone it makes sense to meander over months and make full edits in a more convenient manner.
Setting quick timers, reminders or alarms is a breeze using Siri on the Watch. So much more convenient than digging out the phone.
Getting a quick overview on the Watch on how active I have been (or not been) has already spurred me to get up and move more often. Yes there are other devices that help with this (I had a Fitbit previously) but having it all self contained within the Watch is nice and (here I go again) convenient.
A few things that are not perfect on the watch:
The speaker is pretty quiet when trying to have a hands free "Dick Tracy" conversation. Any kind of louder noise in the room and you will have trouble.
Apple is synonymous with consistency. Their entire platform is built on making a consistent experience for everyone that just works. On the Watch, however, there are some inconsistent uses of actions to do certain things. For example, sometimes when I get a notification and I want to dismiss it off the watch I can "Force press" which brings up a "Clear All" button to tap. Other times I have to scroll to the bottom of the notification to "dismiss." I like the "Force press" thing... let's make it happen consistently.
Most apps now are really pretty useless on the watch. For one thing, the screen times out too quickly for them. For another, anything in which one needs more than a glance to get the information is MUCH easier to do on the phone. Of all the apps in the Watch App store, the only things I have downloaded and find I actually use are a quick note dictation app, a "what is nearby me" type app, and a sports scores app. That being said, I am perfectly OK with that because that is really not what the Watch is for in my opinion. We aren't SUPPOSED to be doing things on the Watch that are more easily done on the phone. Things that are designed to be quick (check time, check weather, check who just sent a message) are great on the Watch. Things like searching for the best item on Amazon are just ridiculously silly on the Watch (really, Amazon?)
Conspicuously missing from the core apps on the Watch is Apple's "Notes" app. A perfect use for the Watch is to quickly take a note of something you need to remember later. I was forced to download a 3rd party app, Evernote, for this. The Evernote app works well, but I am very surprised that this was missed by Apple as a perfect example of what would be helpful to use the Watch to do.
There is no way to set the "screen on" time to a custom time period. Six seconds or so is default and unchangeable. This makes the Watch worthless for anyone in a health profession. Nurses and EMTs still take pulses using their watch to time the heart rate. Often, with irregular heart rates, a full 60 seconds must be observed. One just can't do this with the Watch. This is quite surprising as the Watch has actually been marketed to health workers with apps even designed solely to assist health workers in their daily planning. Apple clearly wanted to be able to control battery life with such a quick screen off "feature" but allowing us to decide for ourselves the tradeoff of battery life vs. usability would be a much better choice.
There are ways to make Tweets, Facebook status updates and the like on the Watch, but it really doesn't make sense to try to do it "all" socially on the Watch. It is so much easier on the phone to actually interact socially, that it really only makes sense to do so on the Watch in more of a "one off" way. When you just have to share something quickly, but don't really have time for give and take.
Finally, some things work a bit slow or wonky right now. I expect this to improve greatly over time with future versions of the software. Stuff like this ALWAYS gets better.
So for me, the Watch is working as I expect it should. There are certainly improvements that Apple can and will be able to make, but it is saving me time, adding ease of use to many actions I do every day, and is kind of fun to use. I am enjoying it because I am not expecting it to do things for which ANY wearable would not be well suited. The things it is best for, it does pretty well.
That is worth a dollar a day... to me at least.

To put the iPod into forced disk mode, this is what you should be doing.
Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least 6 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
Have you also seen this?
iPod shows only an Apple logo and doesn't start up.

How can I find out the date of a movie I am trying to pre-order if the date is not available/showing in the "manage pre-order" section?

How can I find out the date of a movie I am trying to pre-order if the date is not available/showing in the "manage pre-order" section?

Thanks so much for your reply King_Penguin. No, sadly there is not indication of the expected release date on the film, it's no where to be found. I have also tried to look in other places online, but no luck. I guess your latter statement jives more with my situation, that being the studio/rights-holder hasn't feel inclined to provide the date.
