Slow UPS delivery for top of the range 27-inch, 4.0GHz with Retina 5K display

I ordered my iMac
27-inch with Retina 5K display
4.0GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 4.4GHz
32GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x8GB
1TB Flash Storage
AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4GB GDDR5
for not just pocket money on the 3rd of November and it said that it would be ready for shipment between 7 and 10 working days. In the meantime I got an email form Apple notifying me that there will be a delay. The iMac has now started shipping on the 22 November, but shipping has been extremely slow:

My iMac now got stuck for over 2 days in Shanghai, China (it's there now 20:51) - why is that, and is there anything Apple could do to speed up the delivery?

Well, I live in Italy, but want a UK-International keyboard... So hence why Apple had this not available in the shop. I actually went there, and ended up watching the Apple sales person ordering it online for me :-)
But when I had my iPhone 6 delivered, there was no such long time where the parcel got stuck...

  • I just bought the top of the range of the new iPad on 10th Oct 2012, wanna change it to iPad 4.

    I just bought the top of the range of the new iPad (64GB with Retina Display), and iPad smart Cover from the shop in Thailand, Apple just launched the 4th gen of iPad yesterday. I spent a lot of money to get the 3rd Gen. Wanna get the new one instead.
    So sad for buying this gen ...
    Can Apple get the new one for me? I wanna return mine...

    I have a similar issue...my uncle asked what I wanted as a present and I said a new ipad came out with support for Australian 4G networks and to get that...it's the 'new' ipad. Of course he went into the store and asked for the latest 'new' ipad on 28/10 and they sold him an ipad3 which retailed for the same price as an ipad4.
    So when I got it I was advised by the telco that my version was not compatible. I called applecare to ask them if I could swap it being 1 week out from purchase and of course they said go back to the store it was purchased from. No surprises the store doesn't want anything to do with it, they just want to get rid of their old stock.
    Now I am stuck with an ipad which I did not want (I specifically did not want the ipad3 because it did not support our local networks' 4G) and Apple have washed their hands of it.
    This is terrible policy...at first I was upset Apple or the reseller won't exchange it but really I don't blame the reseller now...my grief is in the stupid Apple naming policy..."oh it's the new ipad with retina display now" .... hang on a second the ipad3 was also the 'new' ipad with retina display (maybe not by name) and was never referred to as the ipad 3rd gen...now they're saying oh it's now the ipad3 you want the ipad with retina display...guess what your stupid naming convention means half the noobs out there don't know what they're buying.
    The identical naming convention has caused my uncle to purchase an obsolete product for top dollar...I have an iphone 3g, 4, 4s, touch, etc. well I think it's safe to say android is the future. I'm already finding streaming media is made impossible by Apple's DRM and policies...something my $100 andoid tablet can do easy.

  • I have the top of the range MacBook Pro. Yet every time I open iPhoto it grinds to a halt with iPhoto crashing 1 out of every 4 times I open it. Is this normal? And if not how can I fix it?

    I have the top of the range MacBook Pro (but not the latest one with the Retina display). Yet every time I open iPhoto it grinds to a halt with iPhoto crashing 1 out of every 4 times I open it. Is this normal? And if not how can I fix it? I have 55k photo's.

    No it's not normal. What version of iPhoto?  Post the first 50 lines only of the crash report

  • I am thinking of getting my first Macbook pro for uni and was just wondering which one would be the best? The macbook pro or macbook pro with retina display? or even wait for the new release in 2013 ?

    I am thinking of getting my first Macbook pro for uni and was just wondering which one would be the best? The macbook pro or macbook pro with retina display? or even wait for the new release in 2013 ?

    If your budget is unlimited, look at both the retina and non-retina and make a decision based on your preferences.  If funds are tight, explore the options in the refurbished section.  Unless you are dealing with courses that demand specific performance parameters, any one of these options will suffice.

  • Does the iMac with Retina 5K Display have "user accessible" SO-DIMM slots or not?

    The Apple Site "http://www.apple.com/imac-with-retina/specs/" for the iMac with Retina 5K Display states for memory that it has "four SO-DIMM slots, user accessible".  What does that really mean?  Contact with Apple support indicates that the newest iMac is sealed, therefore I MUST order it with all of the memory I need, or I would have to break the seal (tear it apart) to upgrade the memory later to get to the memory slots...there is no access door as there was in earlier iMacs.  Is the memory in slots or soldered in?  How can that be interpreted as "user accessible"?  This seems very misleading, or Apple support has it wrong.
    Sorry if this seems like a rant, but it sort of is.  Does anyone know the facts on this?

    The previous 27 inch iMacs had the same statement. It means that the user can access the memory slots and add or change ram. There is an access panel on the iMac. On 21 inch iMacs there is no door and the ram is not user accessible.

  • Can you use the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display straight out of the box, or do you have to charge it first?

    Can you use the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display straight out of the box, or do you have to charge it up fully before you can use it. I do not want to damage the laptop by misusing the battery.

    Attach the charger and start charging the battery to 100%.  The good news is that after you have connected the charger, you may start using the MBP as well.

  • VL10G is not creating delivery for some of the confirmed scheduled lines

    Hi, I was trying to find the reason why we are getting a very generic error message (Message type V50R ID 036 - The document could not be delivered.) for some of the confirmed schedule lines when executing VL10G in batch and no delivery document is created. Those orders have confirmed scheduled lines and inventory has confirmed to have stock. However, when the VL10G is executed in background, the sales order line items will be captured into the list but when creating delivery, the systems is showing the above error message.
    From debug, found out the message is generated from LV50R_VIEW43.
    We went through lots of OSS notes but nothing seem to ring a bell here. We are using ECC6, list type = index list.
    The error message is very inconsistent. The same documents will be dropped for delivery after several days without any change to any of the sales document or inventory level.
    Some of the note mentioned the parallel processing lock on ATP check for the material may be the reason for the error however we are not using any parallel processing in VL10G. We also checked the index table VEPVG has all correct entries and all the entries are being selected into the delivery due list. Error happens when the delivery is trying to be created.
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi ALL,
    Any suggessiton on the below issue.
    We have batch jobs to process the DDL for the STOs, but some of the line items of the same STO is not picked up by batch job, (VL10B is assigned in the batch job, i checked the variant and configuration, everything seems to be fine, when i try to process the DDL through VL10B manually by giving the STO number only, the VL10B program is not picking the STO, but the same STO can be processed through VL10D, what could be the problem and why the VL10B program is not recogonizing the STO for the delivery creation.
    We are using ECC 6.0

  • Top of the range: Mac Mini vs iBook

    Hey hey,
    I fell in love with Apple mid last year, and bought my first Mac ever mid November of 2005. It was a 20" G5 RevC 2.1ghz iMac w 1.5gb Ram. It's the best computer I've ever seen and used in my life! Amazing! Anyway, I've been working at my parents to get my sister a Mac for school.
    There are 3 options:
    - 1.42 80gb Mac Mini with Superdrive
    - 1.42 80gb Mac Mini with Combodrive and a TFT (non apple)
    - 1.42 14" iBook.
    Monique, my sister, would be able to get the first option in March, the second option in April and the third option in June.
    She uses my old PC atm, the bulky thing that it is (one way to convince my parents). It's a 1.5ghz 128mb Ram Pentium 4 IBM - load of crap seriously! Anyway, all she uses the computer for is assignments (We'd probbaly get her office over iWork only because she knows how to use office), listening to music, using her 1gb iPod shuffle and to surf and chat online. Now we have just recently got a new 5mp 12xoptical zoom camera and I'm positive she will love iLife shen she realises how good it is with digital life.
    What do you suggest to be the better option for my sister? I'm stuck on the portability, or quicker. When we go on holidays I know the iBook would be perfect to download photos and such on the go - seeing as we are taking a 3 week holiday in september, it would be great! I've made a little comparison thingo below:
    - Both small and take up not much room
    - Mac Mini will have to buy apple keyboard - iBook you have it.
    - Mac Mini maybe purchase TFT - iBook you have screen
    - Mac Mini not as portable - iBook is
    - Mac Mini w/o tft approx half the price of iBook
    - Mac Mini w tft is about $200 cheaper than iBook
    - Both can connect wirelessly to our wireless home network (iMac, 2pcs atm)
    - Mac Mini bigger screen
    - My iMac has superdrive so not really need superdrive in Mac Mini. Will save about $100.
    What do you think you would go for? I'm not saying I'm going to do what you say, just wondering what other folks would do. I am thinking the iBook.
    Thanks guys!
    - leighton

    Hi Leight,
    Your a good brother to be buying your sister an Apple computer. What kind of school does she go to? College? Anyways, I think that the iBook is the best way to go. It is the perfect tool for the average student. I recommend the iBooks for people whose needs fall in the realm of basic computing. I use iLife as a standard for the iBook. She will be doing Word processing (I would hold off on MS Office or iWork because her iBook will come with the trials for both. I bought MS Office, then used iWorks (trial) on my new iBook and I threw the MS Office away.), web browsing (Safari), Music (iTunes), Email (Mail is my favorite), Photos (iPhoto 5 is good for keeping them organized. Her iBook will come with iPhoto 6, which is just truly amazing), messengers (iChat is my favorite, I have everyone from Hotmail to AIM on it. You have to go through Jabber to use Hotmail but I can show you), and she might want watch movies (iMovie). These are all on the iBook as your know, they cover the basic necessities that she would need. I bought my iBook for school purposes only, the "iLifes". I do all my heavy editing and scripting on my iMac, which is more capable. She will love the iBook because she will be able to take it with her where ever she wants. It is so convenient to just carry around with me to class (if the teacher doesn't mind). I would suggest though thinking about buying or recommending to her the following:
    Airport Express - I use it in school and when I am traveling. I am not stuck sitting at that awful desk in the corner
    iSight - I use it to communicate with friends and family when I am traveling or at school. I find people never relize how great video conferencing is till they try it.
    iWork - Even though she knows how to use MS Office, Pages is so much easier and efficient. With Pages there is little to none time wasted struggling to format the document to make it look right. Pages works great with other iLife applications like iTunes, iPhoto, and iMovie. I use it all the time for projects, reports, and essays.
    AppleCare - A necessity! Even though this will put you back some money, it is worth the cost. If something goes wrong with her iBook she can bring it to any Apple Store and they will fix it. They will fix it for free most times as long as she didn't do anything malicious to it.
    I hope that helps,
    Jon
    PS Why don't you ask her what she wants? Surprise her with choices, and then let her decide. That way you will know that you chose the right one for her.

  • Can I extend the range of my Time Capsule with an Airport Express?

    I have read on Apple's description of the Airport Express that it is possible to extend the range of an existing network. I have the OLDER version of the Time Capsule (it is still wireless-N but it can only broadcast EITHER 2.4 or 5 gHZ at a given time) that does not have the simultaneous broadcasting. Can I still use the Airport Express to extend the range of my Time Capsule network?

    i think you have the same concern as mine....
    would the express extend the n or g networks? i am pretty sure it cant dual broadcast.....
    my guess is that it would extend the n network by default, but if an iphone hooks up to the part of the network that the express is covering, it will probably slow down to a g speed.
    i am one of those that suffer from my existing airport extreme and express slowing down when i turn on my ipod touch or iphone! the whole network slows down to the lowest common denominator.
    by getting the new time capsule (or the new airport extreme), i will be fine in the part of the house that is being served by the new machines, but i am expecting the network to slow down where the express is in incharge!
    this is all in preparation to buy a new TC...... is my understanding correct?

  • Can i extend the range of an airport extreme with another airport extreme and use the ports on the airport extreme i used to extend the network?

    That seems like a complicated question. 
    I have a Time Capsule (which the HD *****, but that is matter for another discussion) and want to extend the range with an Airport Extreme because I have 2 devices in one room that do not do wireless but have Ethernet ports.
    The room has iffy WiFy connectivity too.
    I want to know if the 3 ports on the Airport Extreme still work after configuring it as an extender rather than a router.

    The thing is that I want to know if I can put the Airport Extreme at the edge of the room where the existing Base does not reach.
    This will not work.
    Remember, an "extending" AirPort can only extend the quality of wireless signal that it receives. For that reason, it must be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal in order to work effectively.
    For example, let's say that your "main" router was on one end of the house and you want to extend the signal to reach the other end of the house.  In this case, you would locate the "extending" AirPort about half way between the main router and the other side of the house.

  • Is it possible to extend the range of one airport express with a second airport express?

    Hi,
    We have a Time Warner router and have it hardwired to an Airport Express. Is it possible to extend the range of that one airport express with a second airport express?

    ... The new AirPort Express that I have is an 802.11n version, but the second one is an older model and I don't know which version it might be. Also, the system recently updated so I'm using the AirPort Utility 6.1.
    If you are using Mountain Lion, AirPort Utility 6.1 is the version installed by default. It will not be able to administer "older" AirPort base stations.
    For them, use AirPort Utility 5.6 which contains the features you need. It can administer your older Express as well as current production base stations.
    AU 5.6 is compatible with Lion as well as Mountain Lion, however, the installer app will refuse to install it on Mountain Lion.
    This dilemma is easily solved though. You simply need to extract the app from the installer package using a package extractor like Pacifist.
    Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
    Download AirPort Utility 5.6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    If you happen to have an archived copy of the AU 5.6 app somewhere, such as a Time Machine backup or equivalent, you can simply restore it or drag the app to your Mountain Lion system's Utilities folder. It will run without complaint. It is only the package installer that is the problem.
    Mountain Lion will not allow you to delete its existing version of AirPort Utility. Just ignore it. It and the older version (which will bear the unique name "AirPort Utility 5.6") can peacefully coexist.
    Note: For those with Leopard or Snow Leopard systems you need AirPort Utility 5.6.1 (this is confusing - a later AirPort Utility version for an earlier OS X version - but it is correct).
    Download AirPort Utility 5.6.1 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1536
