So did Apple Retail Stores that sold out Friday get/sell more iPads
Was wondering if Apple Retail Stores (especially in the Philly area) that sold out their inventory of iPads on Friday night received shipments for the weekend, or did they just go all weekend with no iPads to sell? Are stores getting daily shipments? Think there is a chance they'll get some more on Monday?
Here in SF they did get a few more units. One nice person posted to CL about the downtown store having several available and no line on Saturday, but I didn't see it in time.
I asked at the store at the mall here Saturday and they told me to check back Monday morning. I got the 32 3G ATT via ATT website before they ran out, but I currently have and want a 64GB. I'm going to show up at 10AM tomorrow morning.

My iPhone 4S went into lockup with a screen displaying an image of the USB connector pointing to the iTunes logo. I was traveling and took the phone to the closest Verizon store. The store informed me that I had a brick lock and that only an Apple retail store could unlock the phone. The Verizon store explained that they have seen this problem with SEVERAL other 4S users who had upgraded to the new iOS7 operating system and that to their knowledge it is too demanding to work on pre-iPhone 5S phones having a far less capable processor. The closest Apple store was 50 miles away in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. I went to that store three days later (today) to reset the phone before flying out of Philadelphia Intl. Airport. The Apple store personnel were overloaded and not sensitive to my plight. They told me that I would have to make a reservation for a time 2 hours later for tech support. I couldn't do that without missing my flight - out of luck until I get back to Los Angeles. If the Verizon store explanation is true, Apple needs to accommodate 4S and earlier generation users and not force them to upgrade to a $459 iPhone 5S!

The salesperson at Verizon has no clue what their saying.
My 4S and many of my friends works perfectly fine on IOS 7.3, no issue as all. -
hi all, i just want to know how can i get a MacBook pro with the configuration i want from apple retail store (in Munich) and not by order it online because in this case i will not be able to benefit from Global blue service for tax free from the airport when i leave Germany.
thanks in advance.You should have probably found out more specifically from the Apple Store just how you could do it online. The obvious solution is to order it from the Apple Danish website store, but I don't know if they ship internationally.

Hello,
I have an iPhone 4S 32Gb White AT&T, product part No. MC921LL/A, Serial No. C39GMLPWDTDC
I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store (from Fifth Avenue, NY) for the full amount. Now it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T. I restored the phone several times, but I have not received "Congratulations your iPhone has been unlocked". Please activate my iPhone to work with different SIM cards
Thanks,
Best WishesWhen did you buy it?
Apple did not begin selling an unlocked version of the iPhone 4S in the US until 11/11/11. I believe it went on sale only through the online store at that time. I'm not sure if it's available at retail yet.
What you purchased was a phone without a contract commitment. It is still locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason. Return it and get your money back, then use that to purchase an unlocked phone. -
My iPhone 5 got some defects and I went to a apple reatil store yesterday. The guy from the genius bar told me that he verified a replacement for me. And I need to call 1-800-apple care to finish that process. I called apple care and one of the senior supervisors told me that I have to send it back to Australia (where I bought this iPhone) to get it repaired. Turns out I could not solve the problem after a apple store vist and several calls. I just want to know if there any way to solve this. This iPhone is a factory unlocked one that purchased in an apple retail store in Melbourne at the day it was first released. And my experience today is not what I can tell as fair. I will be really appreciate for any helps and advices. Thanks.
Warranty on iPhone is not international, but valid only in country of
original sale. Since you purchased the iPhone in Australia, your warranty
is valid only in Australia. You must either personally return the iPhone
to Australia for evaluation and possible replacement or sent it to someone
in Australia to take into Apple for the evaluation. Apple will not accept
international shipments for repair nor will Apple ship out of the country
after replacement.
Sorry to be the bearer of this news, but it is the way iPhone warranty and
replacement has always worked. -
I tried to turn on my ipod touch and the best I could get was the apple logo and even that went out. I tried charging it with no luck. It had charge yesterday when I turned it off but now I can't get anything at all. Any suggestions???
If the reset does not work try the remaining items:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Case flaw - Very Disappointed by Apple Technicians at Apple Retail Store
IIn the last month I have purchased approximately $12,000 worth of Apple computers all with AppleCare.
Among them is an Apple MacBook Pro 15" Glossy (S/N: RM8193*** <Edited by Moderator>), which is the subject of this posting. When it arrived I felt that the bottom half its case was mildly flawed. To be precise:
i) The left speaker grill is slightly bubbled;
ii) There is a more than acceptable gap between the keyboard bezel just left of the left speaker grill and the bottom case;
iii) All visible case screws (4 on the left, 4 on the right, 2 on the back, and 4 on the bottom) are counter-screwed rather than flush. In addition, the screw heads look slightly indented, in my opinion due to a bad screwdriver.
This MacBook Pro was ordered on May 11, 2008 and was delivered on May 15, 2008. I reported the flaws and my concerns to AppleCare via telephone on May 19, 2008. The support representative apologized for my inconvenience and told me that he could set up an appointment for me to go to the store to see an Apple Genius. I told him I was unable to go immediately but perhaps next week. He further, advised me that I have AppleCare until May 2011 and that I could logon to the Apple website to setup an appointment.
Anyhow, yesterday (June 15, 2008) I went to the Apple retail store at Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood (WA) and spoke to a technician, Jared, who told me that since I bought a refurbished MAcBook Pro (directly from Apple, might I add) there are going to be some flaws. Now if I had known about this in the very beginning, I probably would have spent another few hundred dollars to buy a brand new computer or might have insisted on exchanging back on May 19, when I discovered the flaws.
Hearing Jared made me a bit upset and I asked to see his supervisor. Lead Technician, Steven, came out inspected my MacBook Pro and told me that he believes that in his opinion everything looks within tolerance; though he agreed that the screws are slightly sunk-in (over-tightened). However, he declined to fix it stating that this is not a functional problem and more so an aesthetic issue. In my opinion, Apple products have a lot to do with aesthetics. If I wanted a functional notebook with low quality control I would have purchased Dells.
For my (your customer’s) satisfaction, I need you guys to replace the bottom case, the keyboard bezel and all case screws.
Hope to hear from you folks soon. It is a clear issue of Quality Control & Customer Relations.
Thank you!

You are NOT talk to Apple here. You are talking to other users just like yourself. So there is absolutely nothing we can do for you. I would suggest you call Applecare and ask to speak to Customer Support. They might be able to help you with your problem.

Whats the difference in buying an ipod from apple retail store rather than buying it from Walmart?
Whats the difference in buying an iPod touch from apple retail store rather than from walmart
Some retailers, such as Best Buy, offer a much more robust warranty - even covering accidental damage. Or other retailers may offer bonuses - such as free case or store gift card as an incentive. The orginal Apple 1 year warranty against manufacturer's defects applies no matter where it's sold.
I bought both my touch and my iPad from Best Buy and have no issues with it. (the closest apple store was over an hour away)
I think the only warning I'd offer is for a person buying a used device second hand is to make sure it's from a reputable retailer and that hte device is unlocked and ready to use. -
Is unlocked iphone from UK apple retail store the same as from online store
Today I bought an unlocked iphone 4 from my local UK Apple Retail store. I explained to the store assistant that as I work abroad for several months at a time I needed to be able to use my iPhone with both a UK carrier( not sure which one to go with yet), and a local carrier when in another country, therefore I wanted an unlocked sim free one. I bought the 16gig version and payed the full £499 for it, however, when I got home and looked at the receipt it also lists a "No Contract Sim" with a part number but with a unit price of £0.00.
So I am confused..! Is this the same as the sim free iphone available from the online store and can I use it with any carrier by swapping the sim card depending on my needs? Or, is this some other kind of sim card that will lock the phone once I activate it the first time. I had assumed that by paying the full price I was getting an unlocked sim free phone as described on the UK online store description. If it is not, I will need to return it and order one online.The iPhone could be purchased at full price only at retail stores not online at least in US:
This FAQ can be found on the US site with a little digging (read on to know why digging was necessary)
"Is a new contract with AT&T required?
A new 2-year commitment with AT&T is required when starting your purchase online. Additionally, the Apple Retail Store offers a no-commitment iPhone for the full retail price."
This lines above are the info that you can read in a pop-up FAQ that will appear if you click on one nicely hidden FAQ link, reading: "Is a new contract with AT&T required?", located on the bottom left corner of the ordering process area.
What is misleading is that the FAQs on the landing page where users can select a 3GS or a 4, the FAQ for "Can I buy an iPhone without an AT&T contract?" is answered with a straight "No. iPhone requires a two-year AT&T wireless service contract." Such statement applies only to online store purchases and that's a piece of info that only a more careful, meticulous and OCD reader may find out since another FAQ tucked away elsewhere (read below) says you can buy iPhones at full price by going to any Apple Retail Store.
There is no way for me to give you a direct link to the other FAQ stating that, because it's accessible only during a purchasing session, therefore you'll have to go through the few steps below if you want to read that FAQ by yourself:
1) Go to the online store,
2) Select the iPhone image to start the buying process,
3) Once on the page where you can choose the 3GS or the 4, select one,
4) On the next page you should see 3 FAQ links (gray text, the bottom left corner),
5) Click the one that reads: "Is a new contract with AT&T required?",
6) Read the FAQ in the pop-up that will open after you clicked on the link.
There are no further details about unlocking, jail-breaking or the fact that the iPhone 4 uses a micro SIM instead of a standard or mini SIM card so you may want to ask more info in that regard to a Genius at the Retail Store to learn more about how you can buy an iPhone and use it with another carrier outside US.
If UK and US sales work following the same rules, your iPhone bought online should be carrier-locked, so if you've got one that was unlocked and contract-free from the UK store then either you are lucky guy, or sales in UK are more flexible than US. In both cases what would count is that your phone is unlocked, now the info you may want to get is simply what SIM and Carrier services will work on your iPhone when you are in US.
Best to you and I hope some of these info will help you. Good luck! -
Buying iPhone 4 from Canada Apple Retail Store
Hi
I am from India and I am visiting Canada in Jan. I plan to buy the unlocked iPhone 4 from the Apple Retail Store in Vancouver. Though I am aware that the unlocked Phone is available at the Apple ONLINE store, I'm not sure if the unlocked version is available in the retail store. Would they ask me for any address proof?Are you aware that Apple will only provide support for a Canadian-sold iPhone in Canada? If you have a problem with your iPhone that would require warranty service, you'd have to ship the iPhone back to someone in Canada to take or send it to Apple and then have that person ship it back to you.
Far better to just buy your iPhone from an authorized seller in India, even if it will be higher in price. That way you will be able to get local support and service. If you want an iPhone 4, I'd strongly suggest that you wait for it to be officially released in India.
Regards. -
Is there a way to contact an Apple Retail Store by email about a poor repair?
I brought my MacBook Pro into an Apple Retail store for a repair about a month ago, got it back a week later, and it's worked horribly since.
They either damaged my battery or gave me a different one because not only does it have physical damage now that I look at it closely but it holds absolutely no charge at all anymore. Fully charged, I get about 15 minutes of use when my laptop is unplugged. Also, my computer has suddenly developed an awful lagging problem; I have to reset the date and time whenever my computer restarts or shuts down; and I can no longer log into my iTunes account.
Is it possible to contact the Walt Whitman Apple Retail store through email instead of calling Apple's 1-800 number?
ThanksUnfortunately I was never really able to get any satisfactory help from Apple. I've always viewed their customer service as a high point for them but walked away very dissatisfied in this instance.
Any number I called said to take the MacBook Pro back to the Retail Store which did the original repairs, I did that, but they insisted it wasn't covered by the 90 day warranty because it wasn't related to the original repair. I told them I've never had battery, lagging, or iTunes problems with this laptop until I picked it up a week earlier from Apple but they basically told me I was mistaken and would have to pay for additional repairs.
I've been a pretty loyal customer and not looking to get over on anyone. I'm very dissatisfied with my experience and since I now can't trust that bringing my MacBook Pro into Apple will result in an actual repair without further damage I'm stuck browsing laptops from Dell, Sony, and HP. Does anyone have a suggestion on these brands? -
Can i buy a sim free iphone 5s from a apple retail store ?
Can i buy a sim free iphone 5s from a apple retail store in nyc or is it exclusively avaliable online ?
You can buy it at an Apple store. But you do not want "SIM Free", which means that you can use it with any carrier, but the phone becomes locked permanently to the first carrier you use it with. You want to be clear that you want an "UNLOCKED" phone. Apple does not sell SIM Free phones, but some independent dealers (such as Carphone Warehouse in the UK) do.
Also, note that if you plan to use it outside of the US you will not have warranty or repair service available for it; Apple will only fix phones (in or out of warranty) in the country of purchase. And it may not work on LTE (4G) networks outside of North America. -
hi, i bought an iphone 5 about two weeks ago, my iphone has only 16gb of storage and i am running out of storage. Is it possible to exchange the 16gb iphone with the 32gb by paying the difference in an apple retail store? Also i didnt buy my iphone in an apple store.
If the retailer you purchased the iPhone from allows a return for payment credit within a designated period of time after the purchase date, you will need to return the existing iPhone and package contents for payment credit to that retailer - Apple deducts a 10% restocking fee when an iPhone is purchased and returned at an Apple Store, followed by purchasing the iPhone with the storage capacity you now want.

How can I request a duplicate receipt from an Apple Retail Store?
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knows how I can get a duplicate receipt from a purchase I made at an Apple Retail Store (Convent Garden, UK).
Tried all means of contacting Apple but nothing seemed to offer an option for general questions and requests without making a more severe repair request and it doesn't seem that I can contact the store directly. And I'm in Portugal so going there is unfortunately not an option.
Thank you in advance,
NunoHi,
Here are the store details. http://www.apple.com/uk/retail/coventgarden/
Have you tried calling them on +44 (0) 20 7447 1400 ?
Best wishes

What is the best spec 15-inch MacBook Pro at the Apple Retail Store?
Does the Apple Retail Store sell any 15-inch MacBook Pros with 8 GB of RAM or a 7,200-RPM drive?
Do they just sell the most basic models?
What have you seen recently?The amount of RAM is upgradable in-store (although you may have to wait an hour while they do it). The hard drive, processor, and display are not.
I agree with Fortuny, it varies among stores. But usually the best spec is what you see on the MacBook Pro page at store.apple.com. At this moment, that is:
15-inch: 2.2 GHz
2.2GHz quad-core
Intel Core i7
4GB 1333MHz
750GB 5400-rpm1
Intel HD Graphics 3000
AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1GB GDDR5
Built-in battery (7 hours)2
Often the store will also carry this MacBook Pro, with and without the high-res anti-glare display.
But again, your mileage may vary.
