Unpleasant experience at a local Apple store

Hi
I'd like to share my experience at a local Apple store. I am not sure this is the right place to initiate this but I couldn't find an email link for complaining about the Apple customer service.
My wife has a Iphone4 and she has cracked panels for both front and back side. She's been to the Apple store at Bethesda, MD and one of the staffs told her she should pay $29 for repair the front side panel and also she offered her a free phone replacement.
At that time, she didn't backup the phone. So she did a backup and visited other Apple store at Tysons Corner, VA. The staff told us we have to pay $140 something for repairs and there is no replacement policy for her phone available. That's fine. Why each Apple store has different policy? OK. That's fine.
The worse thing happened was the staff was very unkind and unprofessional. We felt like he looked down on us. Even he said why we did not fix the phone at the Bethesda store. He made fun of us saying just bring the phone to there. He kept making sneering smile on his face and talked with the other staff about the situation. They laughed at us.
I was so unpleasant and asked him to call his manager. And the manager kept saying the different policy and never mentioned about his wrong and arrogant attitude toward customer. I can't understand this situation and I strongly appeal this to Apple customer service dept.
I need to have a reasonable apologies from him and the manager which they refused to tell on the day. The address of the Apple store is
1961 Chainbridge Road McLean, VA 22102 (703) 336-8450.
How can I report this to the customer service representative?
Thanks.

  • Could I pre-order an iPhone 5 in my local apple store and I have it mailed to my house?

    Is it possible for me to go to my local apple store and pre order an iphone 5 and have it mailed to my home address? If I was to pre order it at the apple store would I have to go through AT&T to buy the phone or could I just buy the phone? Would that change the price too? I plan on getting the 16GB.

    You don't preorder in the Apple Store. You preorder on-line. It will be mailed to your home address. Apple has not yet announced an unlocked iPhone 5 in the U.S. so yes, you would need to select a carrier.

  • I bought an IPhone 5 in the US last Jan. The bettery was tested problem at my local Apple Store in Shanghai, China. Must I send it to the store where I bought it or Can any Apple Store in the US help me repair it? Thank you.

    Recently, my Iphone shuts down at 50%+ bettery. My local Apple Store told me that the bettery was tested problem and needs to be repaired or changed. Since the phone is still under a year warranty, I was suggested to return it to the US Apple Store for help. Please let me know if I can send it to any store in the US or the store where I bought. Also, I don't find the email receipt. Will it be a problem for repair? Your quick response will be very appreciated. Thank you.

    One more question. Can it be down without the receipt? If yes, I will send the phone to US immediately before warranty expired. Thank you.

  • I have a mid 2010 macbook pro 15" and recently it started crashing so I took it to my local Apple store to have it looked into and they told me its a graphics card issue requiring the replacement of the logic board at a cost to me of $340.

    I took my laptop to my local Apple store to have the problem diagnosed and they told me the problem lies in the grpahics card which will require the replacement of the entire logic board at a cost to me of $340.
    after that I did some research on the topic and found that this was a massive problem on this model of macbook pro and Apple never issued a recall to fix the issue, are there any class action suits in this category currently underway? if so how can I join?

    I also have a mid-2010 Macbook Pro 15". Also, I had paid $100 for Apple Developer account and I can't even use Xcode or Unity3D to work on my game because the moment I write a line of code, my computer crashes. Scratch that, I used to have an Apple Developer account (I let it expire a couple of weeks ago). It hasn't been of much use since my Macbook Pro crashes 15 times a day.\
    A month after buying a mid-2010 Macbook Pro 15" directly from Apple, it began to crash. At first, I assumed it was my fault as I had been messing around with Bootcamp and doing other heavy stuff, but I quickly learned it would randomly decide to shutdown regardless of the task at hand. I was very busy at the time. I was a fledgling teacher in France, and I hardly had any time, or money, to put toward a 84 euro train ticket to Paris. Also, OS X updates were around the corner (Lion, Mountain Lion), so I held out, hoping the issue would be resolved with the updates.
    During my investigation of the issue, I did find the TS4088 article. It recommended I install some updates, and then it described a problem that seemed similar to my own, but the order in which the problems occured, as described in the TS4088 article, did not follow the same pattern that my computer had been experiencing–there was no gray or black screen after the restart warning message when my mac crashed. The first time I found TS4088 on Apple's Support page (at a time when their product recalls were easier to locate before they redesigned their website), it was a couple of months after I had bought the computer. I reasoned that my Macbook Pro must not be suffering from the same issues as I had never seen the video freeze or go black before seeing a restart message. The restart warning message is the last thing I saw, no loss of video or black(or gray) screen afterwards. My computer would simply start to boot up again.
    About two years after buying the computer, and suffering from about 3 GPU panics a day, I searched for the TS4088 article again, wondering if I had misread it, and that maybe the issues described in the article were the same issues I was experiencing. This time I could not find the TS4088 article on Apple's Website. I searched over and over again, but it was nowhere to be found. I assumed that issue had been resolved and the article removed. Now after three years of using a faulty, unreliable computer, I was feeling like a schmuck. I searched again on Apple's website to find the TS4088 article, or any new ones that outlined my very apparent GPU issues, but I had no luck. I circled Apple's website over and over and could not find that article. It was only through a link other frustrated mid-2010 Macbook Pro owners had posted on some other website that I found the link to TS4088, also learning that the forum's users were experiencing my same problems.
    Based on the language Apple used to describe the problem, I did not reason that I was suffering the same issue. Here's what happens when my computer crashes:
         • The computer seems to shut down. The display turns off, the fans stop spinning
         • The message "Your computer was restarted because of a problem . . . Press any key to restart" is displayed.
         • I press any key, the computer restarts, I wait for next crash to interrupt my work
    Excerpt from TS4088
    "Symptoms
    Apple has determined that a small number of MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) computers may intermittently freeze or stop displaying video on the built-in display or on an external display connected to the MacBook Pro. In this situation, you may also see a restart warning message before the video is lost or the display turns black or gray."
    My computer never displays a restart message before the video is lost or display turns black. My Macbook Pro mid 2010 loses the picture on the display, and less than a second after that is the restart warning displayed. The video would never freeze or stop playing, rather the whole computer just dumped all of its processes and displayed a warning message asking me to press any key to restart.
    My issues with this problem are the following:
    •The problems described in TS4088 do not accurately reflect what users are experiencing. TS4088 is misleading in this respect.
    •The article TS4088 was not easy to find on Apple's website. It seemed to have moved to an obscure, impossible-to-find location that could only be found thanks to the great number of other Mac users who are experiencing the same problem.
    This issue hasn't been managed dutifully. I'm annoyed to have sunk money into a developer account. I'm annoyed that I sunk money into an expensive product that does not work. I'm annoyed that the description of the issue afflicting mid 2010 Macbook Pros was inaccurately and misleadingly described and that links to the TS4088 article disappeared from Apple's website when I could have truly benefitted from them. I am especially annoyed that my life in graphic design, web development, and iOS development has stagnated for several months as my computer crashes some 15 times a day. I am, however, pleased with the speed at which a Mac can boot up.

    You need OS X 10.8 mountain lion, mirror is a feature of that OS and you need to buy it from the app store, OS X 10.7.5 does not do it.
    If you don't want to change visit www.airparrot.com a third party app that can do it.

    Hey guys,
    This is the problem. My father just got an iPhone 5. He has a Macbook Pro 2009 with OS X 10.5.8.  The iPhone is not compatible with this version since the iTunes is an older version as well. At our local Apple store in my home country, they told him he needs to upgrade (which I agree of) but that the memory of this computer is not enough to hold the newer OS.
    Please help, he does not really agree with buying a new computer just because of the versions.
    Thank you, I appreciate your help.

    This is what I have. Thank you so much rdr4lfe.

  • My "other" file is stealing my storage space and my local apple store has no idea how to find out what is in it let alone how to clear it so I can upgrade to iOS 7. He thinks my iPad is not really deleting things but storing it here.

    My "other" file is stealing my storage space and my local apple store is aware of the problem but has no idea how to view it's content or how to empty it. He thinks my deleted files are going here instead of being deleted. Raw beginner here! Need help.

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • Applecare and Local Apple Store disagree...

    I just got off the phone with apple care with some disturbing news...
    It started when my local apple store decided to replace my machine because of 3+ repairs made on it. I was told by the Head Genius that they warranty on the new machine would start over when they handed it to me, and all I had to do was switch my applecare protection plan over to the new macbook pro. I did; I called Applecare and they transfered it no problem.
    The inconsistency arose when I received my "applecare protection plan certificate" by mail. It stated that I had until 6/18/2010 until my plan ended... Well, I was given this mac on 5/24/08 meaning the plan should end 5/24/2011, and not the year before. I called applecare (literally 5 minutes ago) and spoke to a woman who said that the protection plan was always based on the original purchase date of the machine.
    This makes no sense to me... If I was up on my year warranty the day after they gave me a new machine, does that mean I don't get the standard year warranty for a new apple product?
    If you are supposed to be covered by that standard year warranty, then how do they justify not giving the year to those who spent $300-some dollars on a protection plan and giving it to those who didn't make the extra purchase?
    I'm baffled.
    Any advice would be appreciated!

    Even though it's a new machine, it was a replacement for an existing machine. It is the purchase date of the original machine, for which the Applecare was originally purchased, that is the start date. You received the replacement, but in Apple's mind (and Applecare's) you have already owned the machine for a year. They just transferred the remainder of your Applecare to the new machine's serial number. Looking at the dates you listed, you had almost finished your first year of warranty, and they replaced your machine during the warranty period. Now you are on the extended warranty you purchased.
    To Apple, it's still the same computer. They just "repaired" the whole thing.
