Reasons for 2-3 weeks shipping delay!

I was intrested in fiding out why the shipping in the USA was 2-3 weeks for the iPad 2, so I did abit research and emailed a few tech-sites for some confirmation.
Anyway MacRumours and ElectricPig got back in contact, the reason for the 2-3 week shipping delay is becuase USA was allocated so many units of the iPad 2 and these units were mostly for the retails stores Apple, Walmart, Best Buy etc etc, hence no online pre order until the 11th.
Intresting to know is that in a reply email I got, I was told that Apple did not want to make the mistake of repeating last years poor international delayed launch! Because there are rival tablets coming out very soon (PlayBook April) Apple do not want disgruntled customers going elsewhere.
Thus the reason for the 2-3 week delay is down to the international launch of the iPad 2

I got in early with my online order because I won't wait in line for hours at a store to get it. My order was placed at 3:50am and at 4:20am I got my confirmation email telling me it will ship in 3 to 5 days and that's fine with me. I would also be upset if I tried to order online and got the 2 to 4 week time and now today it's 3 to 5 weeks. That's a little long for me and I would probably just not buy one at the 3 to 5 weeks and see what comes along from other companies. For me its a toy and not an important piece of equipment.
With all that said retail is all about supply and demand. They got the demand and I guess you can only make so many but you would think they could have been a little more prepared for the first day sales. It's like they announced the thing and then decided to make them. I never understood why they made us wait to order online. They could have taken those orders and given you a ship date after the release date and had a pretty good idea how many they would need to fill that part. I guess that's why they're such a successful company, because they know what they're doing even though we don't understand their thinking.

Hi, I've been playing Smurf's village for a year now and just last week, i tried to get into the app but it keeps rejecting and goes back to the main page. Is there any reason for this? I've been updating the app everytime and now it's not letting me in

Reset the device, restart the device, try downloading any other app.
All of these are basic steps that could have been found by a simple search of the forums as a resolution for the issue.

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week, Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.
The file name has no special character in it, just letters and no spaces.
I have done this in the past and it has worked, but now it will not.
I have not upgraded any software, that I am aware of.
After scanning, the Image Capture pops up the Scan Results with the file name in the window, but neither the Scan Results nor the Image Capture window responds to inputs. The Image Capture window is frozen, with only the "Overview" and "Cancel" buttons active (but non-responsive).
Is this a software issue or a scanner hardware issue? I am using a HP Photosmart C6200 series printer/scanner on a network using a Time Capsule airport.
Thanks.

I had the same problem.
Got a 90% fix. Apparently the Mavericks preferences won't work with Yosemite, so I just deleted the Image Capture preferences.
Unfortunately, the "Scan to" folder seems to be permanently set to the Pictures folder.
1. Quit Image Capture
2. Go to Finder > Go > Home, which opens up your home folder (named after your user name)
3. Open Library > Preferences > com.apple.ImageCapture.plist - Drag this file to the Trash
4. Start "Image Capture", click "Details" and change all your settings as you prefer
5. Quit and restart "Image Capture". Notice it remembers all your settings except "Scan to" folder. It insists on saving to "Pictures".
That's as far as I was successful. I tried changing the "Scan to" folder to "Desktop", but on launch, Image Capture always sets it back to "Pictures".
This is what I tried:
6. Download and install "Pref Setter" from http://www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html
7. Quit "Image Capture". Right-click on "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist" and open with Pref Setter.
8. Search for "Pictures", which finds "~/Pictures" (the tilde character at the start means your home directory).
9. Double-click on "~/Pictures" and change it to the folder you prefer. I like "~/Desktop"
10. Choose File > Save then Quit from Pref Setter. Note that re-opening the plist file still shows "~/Desktop"
11. Start up "Image Capture" -- on startup, "Image Capture" sets "Scan to" folder to "Pictures"
I consider this a bug.

Reason for delay on the DS planning board grafic

Dear SAP Fans
Have you done any development on the DS planning board to show reason of the delay of a planned order?
We are implementing PP/DS and this is a hard requirement for the acceptance. The users have another schedule system with this functionality, when an order is delayed you can see the reason in the chart by clicking on the delayed order. When they see the reason they can see all the constraints that prevent the optimizer to schedule the planned order in an early date, for example:
- Order 0001 is delayed to 15.04.2011 because;
         - Reason 1: Machine A is unavailable up to 30.03.2011
         - Reason 2 : Componente 0001-01 have purchase order scheduled to 15.04.2011
         - Reason 3 : PRT is under maintenance up to 10.04.2011
With this information on hand the user can take some actions to antecipate the order in case this order is causing delay on a priority A customer order. For example the actions could be:
          - For reason 1, rearrange orders in the machine to schedule the order in an early date.
          - For reason 2, negotiate with supplier an early delivery date.
          - For reason 3, negotiate with plant maintenance to accelerate it.
Maybe something related to look for the delay log of a specific order.
Appreciate any insight.
Thanks and BR

hello,
first check the operations of the order.
right click on the produce operation and navigate to Order Processing.
In the order tree open all nodes for operations.
Is the set up activity visible there?
If yes doble click on the activity.
does the set up activity have a duration?
If yes check the status of the set up activity.
go back to the planning board.
in the menue select extras-> Legend
a pop-up with the graphical objects is displayed.
Check the graphic objects for the activity status you read before.
did you change the customizing settings for the graphic object?
If yes check them again or reset them to the default SAP settings.
I had a similar problem with a set up activity when I wanted to change the color of the activity according to the set up group. I changed the settings in the customizing Maintain Planning Board Profiles.
It is very difficult to maintain the decision table for graphical objects.
If you did this recheck the decision table.
Go back to the SAP default settings and check the planning board again.
Are the set up acitvities displayed now?
Then the porblem is with the decision table.
rethink every step again.

Mandatory field 'Reason for Delay" required in VKM3 Tcode application

Hi to all
We use tcode VKM3 to release the sales order for which credit limit check does not required.
Our requirement is to add a mandatory field 'Reason for delay" so that we can write in that field what's the reason to releasing it through VKM3.
Please guide me how to fullfill that requirement.

New laptop held in UPS warehouse for almost two weeks

Update: Finally left Louisville, KY warehouse and is in my state! It's been eight days past Lenovo's estimated delivery date. No 'scheduled delivery information' available yet on UPS webtracking, but I expect it to be delivered this week.
I've been tracking my package every day hoping to see a more promising update than the "Import scan" or "Held in warehouse" status, but that's all that's appeared over and over again for the twelve days it's been stuck in Louisville, KY. The package was sent from Shanghai and it only took about three days to get from there to KY, but it hasn't moved at all since then. I called Lenovo last week to ask for more information and they said that once the computer got to the 'clearing agency' in KY on Sept. 11, Customs determined that it was missing a 'commercial invoice', which they seemed to still be waiting to receive from Lenovo in order to clear the package. However, I called UPS later and they said that while the package was missing the document when they received it in KY, they got it that same day. That being said, I have no idea why it's been stuck there past Sept. 11 or when it will finally leave that warehouse, not to mention when/if I get it. Has anyone else experienced anything like this recently? I'm seriously thinking of cancelling this order so I can get a new computer in a store, as I urgently need one.
Below is a screenshot of the messy log of the shipment progress:

I had one held up in Kentucky for 18 hrs which resulted in a 3 day delay (weekend). But from what I can see of the image you provided, the FDA or the Ag Department has it. For a computer that is beyond stupid. The only thing I can think of is if the packaging had some trace of a bug or something. That is the only reason for those two departments to be involved in a computer being shipped into the country. They could be looking it over to see if they want one.

I have been a customer with Verizon, since 1996. Recently, my husband has been added onto my account. We have both been experience drop calls. My husband contact Tech support for over 2 weeks. We were pretty upset to be paying a lot of money for a service

I have been a customer with Verizon, since 1996. Recently, my husband has been added onto my account. We have both been experience drop calls. My husband contact Tech support for over 2 weeks. We were pretty upset to be paying a lot of money for a service that didn't work. Verizon advised us that would upgrade both of our phones (to see if that solved the problem). Ok...this is where Verizon has forgotten customer service rules. He order 2 phone...one for himself, one for me. 1st the wrong address on the package..Fedex couldn't deliver...2nd...missing condo number Fedex couldn't deliver again...(2nd call to Verizon)...3rd package was finally deliver with 1 phone...missing my phone. Contacted verizon rep...reorder my phone again..but sorry we cannot give the same price as quoted on 21April...even though...its our mistake...Ok...Ok..what a surprise..but we can do this...after 65 minutes...found a price that was a little bit more...fine...just order the phone....I reordered phone on 28April...on the April 29...no email..so I can Verizon for the 4times in a few days..sorry your order was delay due to our Fraud dept. OK...talked to fraud dept...ok..account is good..will release phone and ship. OK...Next day, no email with deliver confimation. Contact Verizon 5 times now...sorry..your order was cancelled...YES...cancelled again...2nd time now...but we can reorder...OK...sorry but we cannot honor that price that was quoted..really...agent messed up...again...but we can do this for you....I don't understand...your mistake...ALL the times...
Strange ...how my order gets cancelled twice by Verizon's mistake....yet you cannot honor prices that your agents quoted!!!
I didn't reorder the phone....I cannot in good faith same with a company that does not stand behind their own mistakes...and worse...they make the poor customer pay for it...
I will not be renewing my contact...its time to Cricket Wirless...which my sister-in-law loves for half the cost....

I hope that you aren't complaining about dropped calls INSIDE your condo because no amount of switching or upgrading devices will solve that.
VZW will not guarantee service inside of any structure. There are just too many factors. If the problem is inside then you might want to look at one of the following:
1.) Network Extender (may cause issues for others in a condo or apartment style setting)
2.) A Google Voice Number (Free with a Gmail email address), downloading Google Hangouts Dialer and forwarding your calls to the GVN so that you can make and receive calls over Wi-Fi.

IPhone 5 Production/Shipping Delays

I ordred my IPhone 5's a few days after they were released and was told by AT&T in 2-3 weeks they would be available.
Order Status at AT&Tstill shows "Pending"
For recent deliveries..how long are the orders taking and anyone know when the backlog may start catching up with orders?
Then there why there's a shipping/deliverry problem?????????

"No one here knows when the backlog may start catching up with orders. It is called supply and demand."
Sir...I respect your answer.
But unless you have visions of being a devine being...you cannot say "Nobody Knows".
I am asking for help when recently shipped orders were first sold to get an idea of how long it's taking.
As far as the witty "Supply & Demand"....that adds nothing to aiding me with an answer.
In fact, there have been several reports it's not just "supply & demand" purely.... but production delays from Chinese Job actions and possible screen shortages.
I am looking for help, not demeaning smarmy answers.
Again, I respect your input and enjoy reading it here.
But if you have nothing positive and factual to aide in my answer, I'd appreciate more positive information.
Like:
For anyone who just got a shiptment ...when did you place your order and how long is it taking from your first-hand, personal experience?

Shipping Delays at Apple

Has anyone else experienced shipping delays with the new 24-inch iMAC's? I ordered one three weeks ago through and Apple reseller, trading my PG G4 and MBP in, and still have not receivied the system. Apple advertises 3-5 day delivery and free shipping on their site and there are systems available at the local Apple Store and BestBuy but my reseller is telling me it may be the first week of October before my system ships.
Just curious.
DaKahuna

I was glad to see this post, since I've had the same questions. I placed an order for a 24" 2.8GHz 750GB iMac on August 21 through a local reseller, and the shipping date has now been bumped (get this) seven times. Each time at midnight at the end of the day it was supposed to ship, and just for another three days or so. After the second bump, the reseller's rep at Apple put an "expedite" on the order, because the reseller complained (rightly) that it was making them look bad - but the "expedite" hasn't prevented the system from getting bumped repeatedly since then.
Apple has offered no explanations, but the reseller called around, and discovered that as of a week ago, all 3 of the major Apple distributors (Ingram, etc.) had "thousands" of new iMacs on backorder, and that no product was moving. Around the end of last week, the 20" iMacs reportedly started being delivered, but there was still no movement on the 24" model. That's as of Monday morning; I'm going to check back with my reseller today to see what the status is.
There was no hard information about what was causing the delays, though as usual, various theories were propounded in the absence of actual data:
- Demand was far higher than Apple predicted, and they are having to allocate supply as they get it across all their various channels to avoid ******* off anyone in particular beyond repair. (Though if it's accurate that there was "no movement" in the product at all, this wouldn't completely account for it.)
- This has happened in the past when Apple has released a product and then discovered technical issues with it; Apple prefers to fix them beforehand even if it means holding up delivery) rather than selling a defective product. A little research on my part discovered that this did indeed happen in 2002 with an earlier generation of iMacs, when a firmware issue was found. The previous post about the iSight camera seems to bolster this theory, though the "no movement" report would seem to indicate it's either very widespread or they just inspected and/or replaced all of them just to be sure.
- The imminent release of Leopard is causing some unforseen delay, though pick your theory about why this would be the case, or what it implies.
- There are component shortages somewhere along the line; one possibility is the Airport Extreme subsystem, since there's a note on the Mac Pro configurator that says if you choose to include it, you'll delay your ship date. Although the iMac has Airport built-in, rather than on a card, maybe they share components, which are hard to come by?
I'm sure we could come up with other possibilities. But based on what my reseller was able to find out, it's apparently widespread - to the point where I've been surprised not to find some speculation, at least, if not hard information, on the various Apple rumor sites, like macdailynews.com etc.
The real bummer is that this'll be my very first Mac, after 25 years in the PC world (and having an unfulfilled **** after Macs since college, way back in the days of the Mac Plus). And to add insult to injury, Apple's online store still shows a ship date of "1-3 days" on this very custom configuration - mysteriously, since I haven't seen or heard anything that would imply they could actually deliver on that promise...

I'm using firefox 3.6.12 and having problem with copy and pasting.Going on for about 2 weeks. Thanks.

When trying to copy and paste, i have a hard time with at least 9 attempts before it takes effect. Thais has been going on for about 2 weeks now. Everything seems to happen as it's suppose to until you go and try to paste.

Update; As of now, i am able to copy and paste. Steps i have taken to correct issues i had before.
- I installed browser again, but issue came up again.
-I uninstalled Google Chrome browser, it recently showed up in my task manger when i was not using the browser. AnVir Task Manger showed it being in use, so i stopped the processor and uninstalled Google Chrome.
'''From Zdnet;Google has shipped a new version of its Chrome web browser to fix at least 14 security vulnerabilities that expose users to malicious hacker attacks.'''
-I was using Iobit Toolbox Memory. For some reason, this seemed to be the cause of the problem. After uninstalling it, i am able to copy and paste with no more issues.
I'm no expert, but this has worked for me. Enjoy your weekend. :-)
