Pre purchase checks on refurbished

Currently looking at a MBP 2.66 GHz 15" with express 34 slot. I think that makes it an early 2009, Right? The machine is in an authorised reseller store in malaysia and ill be taking it back to Australia, so want to do as much homework and product checking before purchase.
The store claims it is refurbished but when i had a quick first look, the box they brought out was the smaller briefcase sized with seal broken. the MBP itself had its plastic sleeve seal broken and dirt/smudge fingerprints on the unibody casing.
I realise all this could be from showing the unit to a previous potential customer. But how can i tell if this unit is a genuine Certified Apple Refurbished unit and not just a shop repaired and reboxed unit.
Does a refurbished unit have the prefix RM in its serial number? didnt get the units serial number yet.
What sort of things should i be checking before purchase and travel from malaysia back to Australia?

$2400 AUS dollars. Plus in Malaysia can barter/bargain for access thrown in.
Have not seen any 2.66 refurbs on Australian site yet and ive been checking almost everyday since the new models (without express 34 in 15 incher) came out. the 2.4 GHz previous model refurb is not on there at moment either. Brand new 15" 2.66 (without the express 34 i need) is $3200 Australian.
ill do a bit more digging instore hopefully next couple days.

  • Installing pre-purchased/pre-installed Photoshop CS6 CD without a CD Drive

    How do I install my pre-purchased and pre-installed (on my primary desktop) Photoshop CS6 CD and Lightroom 4 CD onto my new MacBook Pro without a CD Drive? I just installed the Creative Cloud Installer per Adobe website instructions, but cannot find a link to download Photoshop or Lightroom using my Adobe ID/Password and my Product Key/Serial Number, etc.

    Thanks Mylenium, that did the trick. I now have Photoshop CS6 installed.  Yaaay!
    Unfortunately, I don't see Lightroom 4 on that CS6 download list, and if I go to: "If you don't see the product you're looking for, check our Downloads page" I end up going in circles with no link to download if you already own and have serial # etc.  Any ideas where this link may be?

  • Problems Downloading pre-purchased items

    I am having some serious problems downloading items that I have previously purchased or pre-purchased. The problems started about 2 weeks ago, when I purchased a few tv-shows and had to stop downloading in the middle of the download. I came back later that night and tried to go to my account, clicked on where I had pending downloads, but it kept timing out. I got an error message that said:
    UNABLE TO CHECK FOR PURCHASES - NETWORK TIMED OUT
    make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again.
    I had no problems with my network settings, as I was able to purchase and download a cd with no problem.
    I also today was prompted to download 2 cd's that I had pre-purchased, and clicked yes to begin the downloads. 30 seconds later, I got the same error message. I now have 38 pending downloads, and I am unable to get them to download. In the meantime, I am currently downloading another tv-show that I purchased today, and am having NO PROBLEMS DOWNLOADING THIS! So this obviously shows I am not having a network connection problem. Right?
    I have been emailing apple support and i-tunes support for 2 weeks now, with out any resolution. Is there anyone out there experiencing the same problems? Anyone have any insight on how to fix this?
    I actually tried to re-purchase a couple of items that are stuck in my pending and not able to download. This was unsuccessful as i-tunes realized they were already purchased and were pending downloads, so it wouldn't allow me to re-purchase them. It also wont allow me to download them, so what gives?
    Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I pre-purchased an album awhile ago- the price of the album has been subtracted from my iTunes credit amount- there is no sign of the album in my iTunes (phone or macbook)- when i log into the iTunes store on my phone (where i originally pre-ordered) it says purchased but has no place to download-

    Does the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option on your computer's iTunes download it, or does it show in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes for downloading (and the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone) >

  • Can't get order status on iPhone 6, pre-purchased in-store (showed stock for my particular model)

    I pre-purchased my iPhone 6, 64GB silver, in-store on 9/13.  I got an e-mail confirmation as well which says deliver by 9/16 (and when I bought it, there was stock left of that model).  When I check my order status at one spot, I get technical difficulties, and when I check it at another, it just gives me the ACE # and location #, which I already had, and it has a blank for expected ship date.   

    Thank you very much for the help!  I did reach out to the store, and they had no additional info. other than the preorder number, order number, and location number I had already been e-mailed by Verizon.
    However, I just got a shipping update with tracking numbers!  If you made this happen, thank you very much!  So far the tracking numbers do not give me any information except that the label was created 9/18 (this is tomorrow, oddly), so I assume it must have already shipped out or will ship tomorrow.  I hope this means my phone will arrive Friday, 9/19!  Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to confirm this via the UPS tracking numbers.  (It looks like it is shipping UPS, not FedEx.)
    Thanks again!  Fingers crossed, and if you guys can provide me any additional info. or advice, I would appreciate it.  I appreciate all you've done already, too.  Thank you!!

  • Pre-Purchase Failure?...

    Does anybody know why it wont let me download the Ariana Grande Yours Truly Album?
    I pre-purchased it, when i go into the album it just says purchased... Please and Thanks for your help!(:

    Hello Courtney,
    I would be eager to download and listen to a pre-ordered album as well.  I found a couple of resources that might help with downloading this purchase.
    First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted.  You can use the steps in this article:
    iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
    If the album does not download after following the steps in that article, I recommend trying to download the album from the list of past purchases.  As long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase the album, you will not be charged again.  You can find the steps to do this in the section titled "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer" in the following article:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If you are still not able to download the album, I recommend reporting this issue to the iTunes Store:
    How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase

  • Pre-purchase a CD but no evidence of the purchase anywhere.

    I tried to pre-purchase a CD but can't find evidence of the purchase on my checking account or on itunes.  Does it show up only after the release?

    From TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

    By pre-ordering products, you are authorizing the Services to automatically charge your account and download the product when it becomes available. You may cancel your pre-order prior to the time the item becomes available.

    I just downloaded iTunes on my new PC and all the music that I have purchased through ITunes that was backed up on the cloud won't play. It is telling me I must authorize this computer before it can play pre purchased music. how do I authorize my computer to play this music?
    Thank you for any assistance.

    Tigon's already got you covered here. But I'll chime in with some English localisation advice.
    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • Warning while running pre-req checks for installing 11g binaries

    I am trying to install 11g binaries on my box for upgrading my production db from 10.2.0.4 to 11.1.0.7. I have dev and Prod running from the same box. I already upgraded my dev instance to 11g and its home is /opt/oracle/product/11.10/dev.
    I created another path for production as /opt/oracle/product/11.1.0/prod so that I can install the 11g binaries for production in there. When I run the installer, the pre-req checks gives me two warnings -
    Checking PATH environment variable...
    Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
    Problem: The installer has detected that the PATH environment variable includes other ORACLE_HOME locations in it.
    Recommendation: Restart the installer after removing other ORACLE_HOME locations from PATH environment variable.
    ========================================================
    Checking LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable...
    Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
    Problem: The installer has detected that environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes other ORACLE_HOME locations in it.
    Recommendation: Restart the installer after removing other ORACLE_HOME locations from LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
    I ran ther pre-req again after unsetting the PATH and HOME variable. But it still gives me a warning on the PATH variable. What should I do to avoid this warning?

    If I were you, I would have defined the HOMEs as "/opt/oracle/product/dev/11.1.0" and "/opt/oracle/product/prod/11.1.0" - that would eliminate the errors you are facing. It is still not too late - you can install the prod binaries as "/opt/oracle/product/prod/11.1.0", then later on "clone" the OH from "/opt/oracle/product/11.1.0/dev" to "/opt/oracle/product/dev/11.1.0" and delete the former.
    You could also simply clone "/opt/oracle/product/prod/11.1.0" from "/opt/oracle/product/11.1.0/dev" rather than running the the install/patching process all over again.

  • Pre-Requisite Check SQL Server 2012 SP2 TCP Port Enabled Error

    When doing the pre-requisite check to install SCCM (CAS) using an instance of SQL Server 2012 SP2, you get the following error even though SQL Server TCP port has been enabled, set to static port 4022 on the IP addresses in use in SQL Server Configuration
    Manager under Protocols for <SQLInstanceName>: configuration manager primary site and central administration site require sql server tcp enables and set to static port
    To resolve this issue, make sure "4022" is also set in the IPAll node in SQL Server Configuration Manager under Protocols for <SQLInstanceName> then restart the SQL Service and re-run the pre-requisite check and you should be good to go.
    To avoid SCCM SQL-related install failure, keep in mind that SCCM SQL Service Broker (SSB) (used to replicate data between database sites) is set to port 4022 by default. This is different from and cannot be same as the tcp static port set in SQL Server
    Configuration Manager under Protocols for <SQLInstanceName>. For example SSB can use its default tcp port 4022 while a static tcp port of 4023 can be set in SQL Server Configuration Manager under Protocols for <SQLInstanceName> or vice-versa. The
    SCCM SSB port number can be adjusted during SCCM installation on the Database Information page. My take it so change SSB port to 4023 and leave SQL default port at 4022 since SQL serves potentially many apps while SSB is used within/by SCCM.
    If you are getting errors relating to SQL Server service running accounts, SQL Server Collation, and/or SQL Server sysadmin rights while attempting to install a primary site, unselect the SCCM installation option to install default settings at the beginning
    of the install process.
    Also, ensure to install important updates and restart the server.

  • Pre-purchase Q's - Pagemaker features and font "problems"

    I am running a PB G4 17" 1.5 gig memory with B/W Postscript printers and a Brother Inkjet. I have not purchased Pages but i have been following this forum for several days.
    Two pre-purchase questions.
    I have used Pagemaker for a long, long time (my serial number is 02-201-xxxxx) going back to Mac SE's and II ci's. Pagemaker 7 will not run under 10.4.x even in classic (believe me I've tried, Adobe has tried and Apple has tried - but no luck). It will run classic under 10.3.x but I've come to the conclusion that it just ain't worth having a seperate FW start-up disk just for a decades old product.
    I used Pagemaker primarily for marketing material, white papers, proposals and other documents that are mainly text with a few charts, graphs, callouts and some simple graphics. Some of the things that I liked was the "master" page concept (that is you could format and place text/objects on the master pages and they would appear on every page), that I had complete control of how the text "flowed" on a page (over, around, through and even over a graphic if I wasn't careful), and that I could "write" different parts of the document in a word processor and then "import" the text into Pagemaker making it flow wherever I wanted, even over multiple, non-contiguous pages.
    Can I do this with Pages?
    Second, since I've never used Pages i am not sure what the font/WYSIWYG discussions are all about. It seems that Pages does not display the text in the font/size/style selected. Am I correct or am I missing something?
    Thank you

    Hullo Pachyx:
    To answer your last question first, I've been tempted to reply "OMG not this again!" to those who beat this old drum. It's a preconception from Appleworks and other programs, that you have to be able to run up all your fonts with the font name as a sample. Actually you can do this in Pages by piling all your fonts into a "favourites" collection; but frankly, why would you bother? Merely the font name is hardly sufficient sample to judge a font's usefulness, and if you're using fonts with any appreciation, you should really spend some time acquainting yourself with what you have before churning out fancified guff in them.
    Sorry if you're of that ilk, but Pages does serious typography. Your access to fonts is - quickly, in actual use - via the Mac OsX font panel, immediately accessible from your tool bar or from Format / Font / Show Fonts in the menu. This does have the option to view a small sample of any selected font, but more importantly has an option in the cog-wheel box at the bottom right hand corner of it to "Manage Fonts." This brings up the Font Book, which has options to display an alpha-numeric sample of your font in any size you choose, the complete repertoire of your font to see all characters it has, or a custom option into which you can enter any text you choose to give a good view of your font in use: Like Ipso Lorum, or Caesar ad sum iam for te, whatever you prefer. There is also an option to view font info, and again you can bring up an alpha-numeric sample of reasonable, but not selectable, size by just double clicking on the font in Font Book; and there are other options back in the font panel to access any special features of the font, such as ligatures or alternative glyphs.
    So anything you've heard about font deficiencies in Pages is nonsense. And Pages represents your typography, with all the right kerning details & etc on screen, as all too many programs don't. It takes a bit of detailed work, but you can also perform proper "leading" and kerning adjustment from the facilities that Pages provides. You've used what was a serious layout and publication program in Pagemaker. Pages is a new and worthy iteration of the same - for all the niggles you'll hear, that are endemic to software anyway.
    So now to your first question. Of course it won't be easy to switch from anything you probably know like the back of your own hand. But you can, and the formula for success in this is to approach the new program afresh and on its own merits, and not befuddle your understanding of it with expectations of more of the same that you're used to. Pages provides many templates that may be useful on occasion, but might also primarily suggest the scope of what Pages can do. Once you've got the picture, and explored the menus, inspector panels and help, you'll find that the blank template will allow you a freedom that I doubt you'd find excelled much anywhere else at all.
    As to the detail of that question. The answer really is that, although you will need to find new methods to do the same, you will find them readily enough to hand. I'd be inclined to recommend, though, that you first try these with new material, since reformatting a mixture of old and new will naturally enough require some fluency in the new environment to understand at a glance what needs to be done, and to recognise how to do it.
    That said, it's a curiously sometimes intuitive, and at others an inscrutable interface. Do spend some time to savvy it before you begin to commit any serious project to it. Pages does to an extent rely on your setting up a basic page layout and other details from the outset. On the other hand, it does have a powerful "undo" facility, so there's no need to be afraid of messing about with it - which will generally show you more than all the help and manuals, and even overall these forums, which are really a consensus of our meddling with it too. It's also a program in its youth, and will ask you for some indulgence: and as yet the odd workaround you shouldn't really need.
    But we don't all persevere with it for nothing. At root and core it's a beauty.
    Cheers.

  • Pre-requisite check for client deletion.

  • 10gR2 Install Issue: "No pre-requisite checks found in oraparam.ini"

    Hello there
    I have recently created a virtual machine under VMWare 5 with a base Windows 2000 build on it.
    When I try and load the OUI for the 10gR2 install, the command box just tells:
    "No pre-requisite checks found in oraparam.ini"
    The OUI then proceeds to install the database.
    Why am I getting this warnig? The reason I ask is that I can't install the Companion CD becasue of this. The universal installer does not work for CD2!!!
    Any help much appreciated
    Duncan

    "No pre-requisite checks found in oraparam.ini"That is normal. For the operating system you are installing it on, there are no predefined pre-requisite steps that installer needs to verify (like libraries required, versions of components, software tools required etc).
