Suggestion To Apple: PCIe Cards On Apple Store

TWIMC,
I'm probably posting this in the wrong place, but here goes. I picked up a Mac Pro last week and I'm thrilled so far. My only problem is that I need to replace the Firewire and USB2 cards in my PowerMac with PCIe versions for the Pro. They're not easy to find.
Which brings me to the point. It would be win-win if Apple put these as third-party options on their store. Saves customers scrabbling for hard-to-find cards, Apple sells more, third parties make money too. Everybody's happy. PCIe is still the exception out here. Almost all PCs have PCI slots as well as PCIe so they don't need these cards like we do.

You can find info if you look.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com is common for having reports on compatible cards.
http://www.macsales.com keeps a number of PCIe cards, USB, FW800, eSATA etc.

  • My early 2011 MBP 13" does not recognize my Sandisk 16GB 45MB/s Extreme Pro SDHC card.  I went to the Genius Bar and we tried it in all the MacBook Pro's in the Apple Store and NONE could recognize the card.  However, iMacs did.  Any suggestions?

    Hello I bought my iPhone from liverpools apple store, I put a giffgaff cArd inside and it locked my phone into 02 network. I contacted o2 as you suggested and they told me that they didn't lock my iPhone. Please find me some help

    I guess you mean unlock the device. To lock it would mean to be possible to se it only with one carrier.
    So no, unlocking the device must be done by the original carrier, you should contact them to do that.

  • Apple store only recommends adding 2 1GB cards, can I just get 1 for 1.5GB?

    Hi,
    I'm a graphic designer who has never had to deal with IT issues before, but I switched companies and now I'm the IT person...
    I have a 20" iMac (late 2006), that came with 2 512MB memory cards for 1GB total. I am having a problem with my adobe creative suite products, where if I run more than one at the same time, one will quit on me. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this could be a memory problem. According to adobe, 1GB memory is the minimum it recommends to run the programs simutaneously.
    In addition, I often get the "out of memory" message when I'm printing and/or exporting files, so I think I do want to upgrade.
    My question: When I look up my model on the iMac store, it only gives me the option of buying 2 1GB cards of memory to upgrade me to 2GB total memory. But, I would think I could just buy 1 1GB card and replace just one of my current cards for a total of 1.5 GB?? My only concern with doing this is that the apple store does not give me this option, so maybe there is a reason I would not want to?
    Please advise if I can do this (if I do, what 1GB card should I buy?), and if I can, would I want to? Or should I just go for the 2 1GB cards?
    I don't really want to spring a $350 charge on my boss when $175 may cut it, but I don't want to spend $175 and then have to upgrade again.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    OK Corsair ram working great for me, 8 month ago I bought one of the same 1GB Corsair module's from Fry's. I added it to the stock 512MB upgrading my Core Duo to 1.5GB. I will also continue to suggest to others that Corsair is a very good Ram supplier.
    Corsair's warranty:http://www.corsairmemory.com/corsair/warranty.html
    This lifetime warranty applies to parts that were purchased from Corsair-authorized resellers, or were supplied by Corsair directly. Authorized resellers are resellers who are listed on Corsair’s web site at the time of module purchase.
    Also Newegg, CompUSA, Fry's and other's are on there resale list:

    I have read many of your FAQ pages, Thank-You I realy have learned alot from all your hard work. Please consider adding Corsair to your FAQ ram page, maybe as something like, (poor man's ram or more affordable ram) with a warranty.
    Thank's again!

  • I can't figure out how to use my Apple Store gift card in the Apple store app

    I received and Apple store gift card (not iTunes gift card) and loaded it into passbook. When I use the Apple store app on my iPad, I don't see an option to use the Apple store gift card as a payment option. Any suggestions?

    What happens when you go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and tap on the ID and sign out of existing one and ithen sign into the new one?

  • I am a US citizen in school in Montreal and I was given a US Apple Store gift card. How can I buy the new iPad using my gift card and with a school discount?

    I am a grad student from NYC and at a university in Montreal. I was given a 500$ gift card as a gift to put towards a new ipad. BUT, I apparently cannot use the US gift card in Canada. So, what do I do? I have no time to head back to NYC to get it. I want to order it, but not sure they will ship to montreal...? And was thinking of sending it back to my parents and then have them buy it and mail it to me, but I I think them having to pay tax on this is ridiculous. On top of that, I should be able to garner the ed discount but I dont think the US recognizes Canadian schools in their system and visa versa. SO if I do buy it in the US, I can use my gift card but I can't get the discount. Or if I buy it here in MTL, I can get the discount but I cannot use the gift card..
    Can anyone suggest a solution? all bright ideas welcome.

    You can only use a gift card in the country it was issued in - no way around that as the Apple Store does NOT offer currency exchange with gift cards.
    Nor can you order from the USA online store and ship to any address outside of the USA - again, no way around that as the online stores do NOT ship internationally.
    You could send the gift card back to someone in the USA, to use to purchase your item for you, and then once they receive it, they could ship it to you.  Canada customs will hold it until they collect any import fees and taxes levied on imported consumer electronics though.
    Either that or buy it in Canada with the discount, and use the card later when you get home again.

  • Oversea buyer using credit card in Apple store??

    Dear Apple,
              May I ask a question?? I am a fan of Apple who live in Taiwan. iPhone 5 has just been announced and I love this product very much.I decide to buy one. However, Taiwan have not started to sell it. So, I ask one of my friend who live in California. She told me the Apple store can buy iPhone 5 but I live in Taiwan. Could my friend using my credit card to purchase it?? I meant I will give her the card information then she goes to the Apple store to fill out the fourm?? Is this way to be acceptable?? Thank you very much.  

    And all iPhone 5s currently sold in the US are locked to a specific US carrier and, at least by most reports, come with a two-year contract with the carrier. Apple has not announced when unlocked iPhone 5s will be available in the US. So you could not use such an iPhone in Taiwan in any case.  US-sold iPhones would also get no service in Taiwan, should service ever be needed.
    I'd suggest that you just be patient and wait for the iPhone 5 to be released in Taiwan.
    Regards.

  • Placed an order and debit card has a pending charge, yet apple store shows no order

    I ordered an airport extreme and my debit card shows a pending charge in the correct amount, yet when I log into the apple store app or log onto the store through safari it shows no orders in the last 90 days. What gives?
    I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong category but there seems to be no apple store option.

    I Wanted to buy itunes gift card but instead I got apple store gift card accidentally how can I buy itunes gift card using my apple store gift card?

    You can't from Apple, they don't let you buy iTunes gift cards with an Apple Store gift card. You could see if a different store in your country might let you (though they possibly won't), or try selling the card to somebody e.g. family, friend, eBay etc

    Dear sir
    I bought my iPhone 4 from Apple store in Charlotte N/C about 2years ago without contract.
    Now I tried to upgrade it to iOS 7.0.4.but after that my phone not work with last sim card.
    And invalid sim appeared.so I bought it without contract but it seems to be lock in my country
    Please tell me whats the matter?
    My phone serial no  86034HTCA4T
    Modem firmware  04.12.09
    Thanks

    Without contract is not the same as unlocked. The update to iOS 7 relocked
    the iPhone to the wireless carrier to which it was originally locked. You must
    contact that wireless carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    If you used jailbreak or other hack to unlock the iPhone initially, the method
    used may prevent a legitimate unlock from succeeding and may render your
    iPhone unuseable.

  • Is there a way to open an apple store account without adding card info?

    I want to have an apple store account for 2 reasons only.
    1. To download the art covers for my music
    2. So iTunes stops asking me every 30 seconds 'do I want an iTunes account'
    At the end of registering I realised that apple are asking for my card details. I can't seem to bypass this. Is there a way to create an account without adding my card details?
    If not and I have to add my card details in. Can i just check - I only pay something if i download a piece of music, movie, game etc. and there are no other charges?
    thanks jason

    Hi,
    You have to put a credit card. It is mandatory to verify in which country you're living and for Apple to validate in which Store your can buy music if you want to do so.
    But if you never buy music, your credit card won't be charge at all. Don't worry about this.
    You'll also be able to download the free song of the week, which is completly free each week. And for your cover art, it will not be a charge at all too.
    Hope this help.

  • HT203167 Someone has been using my credit card to download games. this has happened before when I  had a different credit card on my itunes account. the apple store on that previous time would not give me the ip address where the downloads ended up.

    Someone I entrusted my computer to for repairs decided to keep it. all my personal information was on the computer. the peron has been using my credit card information o make ourchases from the apple store. If I do not have a credit card on the account on my iphone, I am unable to updatw it or my ipad. After persuading the apple store people to delete the last credit card info, I had to put aother credit card on the iphone to be able to update the software and thevapps. now that card is being used by the person o download war games on the new card. I cannot find any of his downloaded games on any of my devices. I am close to giving up my iphone and ipad. the last time i called the apple store, theynwould not give me the IP address of the omputer the games were downloaded to. they only gave me the name of my ipad. anyone could name thir ipad according to the name on mynipad. I have found the Apple store less than friendly about security matters like this. What can I do to maintain my acount and not continue to be ripped off by the thieving interloper? if i change my user name nd password, i will forever lose legitimate purchases. Please advise me.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    Is the credit card registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management
    Each time that you add or change your card details then a temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid (though that is usually $1 or the approximate local equivalent) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
    Did your daughter owe any amounts to iTunes ? Does anything show on your purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727 ? If they are proper charges which you don't think that you should have then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
