Very disappointed with Apple! ...about my power adapter!
Hi,
My power adapter of my MacBook PRO failed 10 days ago. I went to the only Apple shop in the town and tried to buy one (Monday)... they told me that do not have it! They had all of that junk... but not a power adapter for my MacBook PRO 17 inch...
They told me that they will be getting some on Friday... I waited for 5 days... When I went to the shop on Friday... they told me that they did not get any... What?!
After spending 5 days without power... borrowing different adapters from my friends... I called a service point and managed to order one single power adapter after a 15 minute phone call... the adapter will be here on Thursday?!
11 days... without power... I am very disappointed in Apple... I have been using apple products for a long time... I did not know that they are that bad in any kind of support...
In my class... 4 people bought brand new MacBook PRO laptops in 6 months... Apple is growing... But I am very very disappointed...
I want to send an e-mail about this issue to a customer support service or something like that... What should I do... Could you please help me?
Thanks.
Why didn't you just call the apple customer service. I would've done that the first day. Why do people insist on complaining about something they could easily fix with common sense and one phone call.
Not to mention they are bond to be out of things like that since the demand for 15-17" Pro's are so much higher than that of the 13".

I do not know what tech. s lacking in iphone 4 that prevents it to be able to use turn by turn navi. I do not see any difference between 4 vs 4S and yet 4S is able to support it. I am very disappointed with apple as i was when 4S was released. I will not purchase iphone5 becuase i think its nowhere near what apple calls it "perfect". there are plenty of other phone around. Lumia 920 for example is a much better phone. Just disappointed with apple...

the fine print in the map section states that turn by turn is only available for 4S and up. -
Very disappointed with Apple....
I purchased a 20" iMac upon release, had the mid plain replaced five months ago. A week ago the computer wouldn't turn on. No problem, they sent me a new power supply. After installing and turning the computer on, I was treated to a flashing question mark and folder. I attempted to use disk utility and disk warrior but they would not mount. I re installed the OS and noticed no option to archive and all the hard disk space was free. Sure enough, after install everything was gone. Hundreds of hours of work, pictures, music, documents, programs, all of it gone.
I called Apple, talked to the tech person then talked to a product specialist and explained I was no longer comfortable using this computer after two repairs and now worse case scenario, a total wipe of everything, and would like a replacement computer. He said no, since it works fine now and it doesn't fall within the criteria for replacement. I attempted to offer paying money and share the cost of a new computer. I was told if I wanted another computer I's have to pay full price.
This is my first experience with a Mac and I am a little more than disappointed. I just bought a OWC external hard drive and a copy of data rescue. 80% of everything is gone. I now know I should have had an external but never needed one in the 10 years of owning a PC and certainly didn't think of buying one for the Mac. Lesson learned.
Do you think I am being unreasonable asking for a replacement? If not, should I call back and speak to someone else? Any other thoughts?Christopher:
It's a simple matter of seeing what their return/price matching policy is. Maybe they'll do something, or you may consider their restocking fee (if any) to be acceptable for the upgrade.
I too purchased a new iMac (though I got a display model from a retailer at what then seemed like a good price. Because of the good deal, I pounced, because I had seen nothing on the Mac rumour sites that indicated a new iMac coming out.
Sure enough, here it is. In my case, day 13 of the 15 day return policy (and 30 day price matching). I spoke to the retailer, fully prepared to return my iMac tomorrow for a full refund and buy a new one direct from Apple, but he gave a substantial reduction on the already reduced price.
I'm quite happy. The new features would be nice, but I determined that for me, they're not quite necessary. The refund on my CC is nice enough, thank you.
No computer retailer or electronics manufacturer announces updates like this, as it would completely halt purchases of the current line. It's SOP. However, I would doubt the Apple Store knew absolutely nothing about it, if it was a corporate APPLE store.
Should you be upset? I don't think so. Frustrated, maybe, but it's much like choosing which line to pick at the supermarket checkout - the other one always moves faster. -
I am VERY disappointed with apple chat!
The chat intro says they will be with me in about 2 minutes, well I've waited over 22 minutes, with now response!!!!!
Anyway; I can't receive my e-mail on my iPhone. I CAN send e-mail but cannot receive/pick up
I had e-mail issues with my pc and after the TWC chat fixed that , then my iphone would not pick up my mail. They gave me settings and said I should have iphone help me configure those settings for successThat's an estimate, not a guarantee.
You can always get support via email or by phone. Try one of those.
For your mail issue, try delting the account and readding it.
If your email provider gave you the settings, they should also have told you where to input them.

Apple 5w vs apple 12w usb power adapter?
Which should i buy for my ipod touch 5 the apple 5w or apple 12w usb power adapter?
Apple has not said. Unless the charger has a very small output, like less than 500 mA, charging rate is controlled by the iPod.
The 5G iPod has a 1,030 mA-h battery
Apple says it charges to 80% in 2 hours
That would mean a charging rate of about 400 mA/hr neglecting charging efficiency
So I guess about 500 mA/hr with efficiency included. -
Apple iPod USB Power Adapter - ?
Hello everybody!
I've got a problem with my new iPod mini and I hope you may help me.
After updating the new software for my iPod Apple told me to charge the battery with a Apple iPod USB Power Adapter which I don't have.
I tried to connect the iPod to my computer (Windows XP) but there's always the picture of the adapter on my iPod. I've tried to reset it, restart the computer and so on ...
But the display always shows this sign of the adapter.
I hope you can help me, I'd be very greatful.
Laura
iPod mini Windows XPbut it's already worked with my computer, the iPod worked alright, so I don't think that I need this stuff you've just named.
The iPod will work just fine without those things.
It's the update/restore process that needs the A/C adapter.
Anyway, you don't need to listen to me if you don't want to. I won't be insulted. -

The Bluetooth low energy protocol is not backward compatible with classic Bluetooth protocol.
My iPhone 4s can not find my sonny in-dash player. However my iPhone 3GS does it. Very disappointed with this.
Any idea how it can be fixed??????Hello,
You are correct, Blue tooth low engergy, BTLE.(only) devices are not backward compatible with Classic bluetooth and cannot connect.
However the Apple 4S and above have Bluetooth 4.0 support.. Hardware wise it has bothClassic Bluetooth, like the 3GS, as well as Bluetooth Low Energy. There is no good reason why your 4s cannot communicate to your Sony in-dash player using the Classic bluetooth that resides in the 4S.
I know that this does not answer the why it does not work, but it should work. Do you have to somehow re-pair the new phone up to the player? Not knowing the model of the Sony it is hard to investigate.
And I hate to ask but are you sure that the Bluetooth radio is on in the phone?

I am very disappointed with iTunes. I have 1200 songs and I can’t play them. I try to play them and before one song finisha song starts playing. This then results in hearing two songs at the same time.I will like to know if you can fix this. I feel like listening with the iTunesplayer is useless.
I don't know man I too hope apple will do something this new I-tunes blow my top lost my whole tune!!!

Please, the battery of my mac air does not last more than two hours, it's been over 30 days I sent for technical assistance and nothing! I am very disappointed with the mac air, I had a very different expectation of apples products!!!
Maybe the problem is not your MB Air......
Try these:
Make sure bluetooth is turned off if you're not using it.
Set your screen brightness to 4 bars.
See what's loading in your login items. Delete the ones you don't need.
Open Activity Monitor - under All Processes see what's using most of your CPU's resources.
Highlight the ones with the highest %CPU and hit quit process.
Remember that when Apple says that your battery should last 7 hours, they tested it just browsing the web and not have anything open in the background and screen is set at 50% brightness. -
No DHL Here - Apple Ultracompact USB Power Adapter Exchange Program
There is no DHL shipping center where I live but the message I got from the Apple Ultracompact USB Power Adapter Exchange Program is to ship via DHL; what should I do?
Mine was delivered by Fedex, with instructions inside to call DHL to pick it up for the return. Well, I don't have DHL service in my area either. After calling Applecare 4 different times in one day and spending I don't know how much time on hold, I finally talked to a human, who's expert solution was for me to take it to the post office!!!!! I explained that it had a prepaid DHL sticker on it, he said he didn't know why the Post office wouldn't honor that, or maybe I should call Fedex to come pick it back up, they would probably honor the DHL sticker too? I suggested that I would be near an Apple Store the next weekend and could take it there myself, he put me on hold for another 25-30 mins to check with someone to see if this could work. When he finally came back, he was pretty sure it would, if not they could just have DHL pick it up from them, since they use them anyway. This should not be this hard. I was sold a defective product, give me my better improved product and a simple way to get rid of the one that is going to kill me and my family without me having to make 4 phone calls, be given no real solutions to my problem, and in the end I have to come up with the answer myself.....Wonderful customer service.....

I need help finding out warranty information on the Apple Magsafe 2 Power Adapter. When I enter the serial number, it is too long for the box. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I got this from my father. It looks like it is an aftermarket package and not something that came with the original Mac. I will try to attach a picture of the item box and the barcode label. The actual part number is MD506LL/A .

How do you change the fuse in a UK Apple 5w USB Power Adapter?
How do you change the fuse in a UK Apple 5w USB Power Adapter?
Ours has stopped working and we presume it must be an internal fuse, but how do you access it as there is no 'slots' as on the 12w version?
All UK power devices must be fused to comply with regs but I can't work out how you open the 5w adapter to change the fuse.This is the power adapter I have http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MD812B/A/apple-usb-power-adapter
Is it really only a 12 month warranty? Seems a waste and environmentally criminal to throw away an adapter without being able to check the fuse!?
