Unable to register with Genius bar for a 'power failure' repair????

Hi
Does anyone have any suggestions what to do about registering for a repair?
The online system has just been giving me a busy all day.
I need to take my iMac in for the famous power failure repair. Is the best thing to call them in the morning? Any special options I can hit so I don't get through to Apple Care?
Thanks
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
I don't know if you've gotten in yet, but if not the secret is to try to schedule an appointment around midnight. The slots at the Genius Bar fill up quickly and I would find that even if I logged onto my local store's webpage to schedule an appointment at 7:00am, they were already booked. I decided to check it at midnight and I was finally able to make an appointment.
It's ridiculous, I know...and if you mention it, they'll just try to get you to buy ProCare for $99 so you will have access to the calendar to schedule a week out.

  • How do I get an invoice re-sent from a Genius Bar for a handset replaced under warranty?

    I took my iPhone 5 into a Genius Bar for a speaker issue. I was immediately emailed an invoice for the repair under warranty and told to come back in an hour. After an hour, they decided to replace the handset completely under warranty, but I don't have an email invoice relating to this replacement. The new handset needs to now be repaired under my carrier insurance, but they need to see an invoice from apple with the new handset's IMEI written on it.
    Since I live a few hours away from a Genius Bar I really don't want to go in person just to ask for an invoice to be sent. Is there another way?
    I have looked on my account at the online apple store and it's not there.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction? It was just over 6 months ago in the Carindale store in QLD.
    Thanks!
    Jo

    You will need to call or visit the Apple Store and ask if they can resend the invoice. They're the only ones who can help you.

    Hi Partner,
    Thank you for your post.
    From your description, I see that the current issue is you notice Event ID 4358 error (source: Microsoft-Windows-MSDTC) logged in Application log.
    Please let me know if I misunderstand anything or you have any additional information. 
    Firstly, could you help clarify that what operation you are performing while the issue occur? It would be nice if you can provide a GUI error message if any.
    Currently, based on the error message and my research, some incorrect register key about RPC dynamic port resulting in MSDTC behaves unexpectedly might cause such symptom.
    If that is the case, let's take the following steps to check our issue.
    [Note: As the operation is related to the registry key components, I suggest we backup the entries firstly before performing the steps]
    1. Delete all the register keys about RPC dynamic port you inserted manually.
    2. Configure the ports via UI.
    3. Reboot the server.
    Please let me know if there is any update. Thank you for your time.
    Best Regards,
    Sophia Sun

    I have brought ipad 2 from USA to INDIA(32 GB WIFI). I am unable to register with app store using my credit card using india details. Pls help.

    You cannot. To open an account on a different iTunes country you must have a valid credit card issued from a bank in that country. You must have a billing address in that country, as well.
    There are reasons why some apps are not available in all iTunes stores.

  • I was in the middle of updating to 7.0.3 and Itunes stopped working. Now my phone is stuck in limbo (apple logo with status bar under) My power button doesnt work (of course) How do I get it back to normal?

    I was in the middle of updating to 7.0.3 and Itunes stopped working. Now my phone is stuck in limbo (apple logo with status bar under) My power button doesnt work (of course) How do I get it back to normal?

    I have same issue. I click on the home button and Wake/sleep at the same time for 30 seconds or more and then the phone entered in Recovery mode. It is erasing my content now and installing the update. Let´s see how this ends. I have iCloud, iTunes match, and backups from previos versions, hope I can restore all my content.
    Otherwise I´ll go to the Genius Bar to do a checkup.
    Good luck!
    It did not work the first time... The iPhone4 kept in limbo. Then I did disconnect as suggested above and tried again to enter in Recovery mode.  This second time it works. And after restoring the iPhone4 with 7.0.3, it asked me if I want to recover from backup. I did recover from my latest back up and now it is syncing the content.

  • I need a copy of the tech report from the genius bar for my insurance but never received one. Can I get a copy?

    As it says in the title, my 8 month old (reconditioned) 4S needed replaced. I took it to the genius bar but they didn't give me a report only sold me a replacement. I need a copy of the report for my insurance company. Can I get a copy via my apple ID? Help appreciated!

    You'll have to either call AppleCare...they'll have a record, or go back to the Genius bar where your phone was replaced.

  • Help: grey screen with progress bar at startup, no success repairing in disk utility

    I got my MacBook pro in December 2011 and never had an issue with it until this same thing happened in February 2013.
    Basically, what happens is the computer starts to run really slowly, so I forced shut down. When I tried to power it back on, I can't get past a grey screen with a progrerss bar that doesn't move for about a minute, and then the computer just shuts back off. I tried to some research to figure out how to fix it myself (grateful for my ipad as a back-up computer) but I'm afraid I'm stuck now.
    I tried running disk utility from recovery mode to verify and repair disk, but I only got errors saying "disk utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed up files." When this all happened in February, I bought an external HD for the Genius Bar dude to back up my files and do whatever he did over the course of 3 days to repair my system. Apparently it was only a temporary fix. However, like an idiot, even with all of that hassle, I never set up Time Machine (I know, I know, spare the lecture. I definitely will this time around). I'm really not too concerned about the data on my drive because most of my important stuff is on USB storage/my work computer. However, there are pictures on there that I'd really like to salvage.
    So, before I do the walk of shame back into the Apple Store, can anyone offer a guide for saving my stuff and repairing my hard drive myself? And, if I have a worst case scenario on my hands, how expensive will it be to buy/install a new hard drive?...or just how to prevent it from happening in the future? Thanks in advance.

    The fsck drive check at boot is failing to fix your drive, gets stuck and the hardware shuts down the machine if a OS isn't loaded in time.
    "disk utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed up files."
    Yep, it will either have to be replaced or zero erased and completely reformatted and everything installed again.

    I never set up Time Machine

    That's ok, the TimeMachine likely would have backed up the corrupted data and fail to properly restore anyway.
    Since you can boot from RecoveryHD, that means you can install OS X on a blank external powered drive and boot from it and access the internal drive for your files. Or as a last restort install Data Rescue ($100) and that can read even deleted files off the drive bypassing the file system etc.

  • Macbook Pro Screen blink with Genius bar. What should i expect?

    Hello!,
    I have to say in my almost 20 years of being a mac user i've never had a problem with any of my mac's. I now have a minor issue with a brand new Macbook Pro that i bought on New years day. The screen has an odd blink on the upper 1/3 portion of the screen. So i've decided to make an appointment with my local Apple store to show it to a genius. I was actually able to capture the blink on video so that i can show it to the genius.
    Now my concern. If its a software issue, thats fine, i'll wait for a patch. But i feel weird about Apple fixing the machine. I feel like the laptop will lose its "magic". The receipt said there is a 14 day return policy, i guess im over that otherwise i would have paid the restocking fee to get a brand new one. Do you think I am just being dumb?

    Rany,
    This is a support forum. Your question isn't really something that anyone that here can answer. Only someone that knows you will be able to say if you're being "dumb"
    Of course it's a bummer when you get a brand new computer... especially a high end one like a MacBook Pro... and you find you have a problem with it. Apple's service has always been among the best. If you do have a hardware issue... bring it in and have them take care of it for you. If you get it back and discover there is something more wrong with it than when you brought it in, then address it. I wouldn't not get it serviced for fear of it losing its "magic". If you're just slightly over your return period... there's no harm is asking them if they would be willing to replace it. There's no guaranty that they will, but they have the flexibility to do so. The worst case scenario is that they fix the one you have.

  • Are earbuds replaced at Apple Stores with Genius bars

    My Ipod is about 7 months old and the earbuds are having the "hissing" quality when the audio makes a certain change in volume. I read that Apple will replace the earbuds if it's in warrenty but charge for shipping on iPods older than 6 months.
    Can I go to an Apple store and get them replaced locally?

    I don't believe they will. I have the iPod In-Ear headphones, and to have them replaced i had to have a new pair shipped, and return the old ones.

  • SCCP 8945 not registering with new instal for 2921 with CME 10.0

    I have phones which won't register at all. They seem to be missing files, but I downloaded the CME 10.0 ZIP and TFTPd it to the router and phones have access to all 10 files that I will list below. This is a snip of the failures from the actual phone have been attached. TFTP bindings have been attached. Telephony service and voice service voip config has also been attached. Sho ephone register has also been attached.
    Seems like the main problem so far is the phones cannot find the files, but the files needed are no where to be found at cisco.com under the 8945 downloads page.
    I need all the help I can get

    Also these files I have in TFTP now on the router are the only ones I found on the 8945 downloads page on cisco.com:

  • Anyone take their iPhone to a genius bar for bad screen or bad reception?

    I know it still may be kind of early to be asking. But my phone has both of these issues and I would like to know if they are or will be giving us replacements and not repairs.

    Today? Hard to imagine anyone doing that. Someone said in a reception thread that he has a Sat appt.
