Waiting time for Apple Care...

Hello!
I'm an italian guy with the "usuals" MBP problems... the Moo Sound it isn't for me a big problem, the whine disturb me a lot.... but, I hate the space bar that doesn't works... VeryoftenIwritelikethisline...
So I think to call Apple to send MBP for assistance. I use this Mac for work every day and my old Powerbook it is already sell... how many time Apple take for assistance? It is possible to make a little poll in the forum?
thank you!

Support from Apple varies depending on several factors i.e. type of failure, parts on hand, location of nearest facility, etc. In your case, it’s really hard to tell. Who knows, perhaps they will simply exchange the unit based on the defective keyboard. Anyway, good luck.
p.s. My future wife lives in Verona and I will be there later this month.

  • If I get 256Gb SSD then much less need for Apple Care?

    Hi I am thinking of getting the 256Gb SSD instead of the 320Gb 7200rpm drive. If I do that do you still think I need to get Apple Care? I am an educator so Apple Care is $249. If there's much less need for Apple Care with SSD, then in effect taking the $249 and applying to the cost of a SSD, it brings down the price to $675 - $249 = $451!

    No, there is no less need for AppleCare with a SSD. If the SSD itself should fail, replacing it yourself after your 1-year warranty expires will cost more than the AppleCare plan. If any other part of the machine should fail, repairing that is almost certain to cost more than the AppleCare plan too. If you don't buy the SSD and your standard hard drive fails after your 1-year warranty expires, replacing it yourself costs far less than the AppleCare plan and is so simple to do that you'd be crazy to have a service provider do it for you.
    Whichever kind of drive you buy, choosing whether or not to buy AppleCare is a separate decision and shouldn't be influenced by your choice of drive.
    If I were strapped for funds and in your position, I'd spend the money on Applecare sooner and wait for SSD prices to come way down and speeds to go way up in a few months or a year. AppleCare is a good investment at any time, particularly if you can buy it at a deep discount. A solid state drive is not a good investment yet for anyone whose MBP won't spend its days jouncing across the veldt in a Land Rover, being buffeted at sea in a small yacht, or banging from pothole to pothole in an urban police cruiser or bike messenger bag.

  • When will I receive my I phone 6 case which i ordered along with the Iphone6 ?As per the website it says october . How long is the wait time for the Iphone 6 case?

    When will I receive my I phone 6 case which i ordered along with the I phone 6 ?As per the website it says October. How long is the wait time for the I phone 6 case?

    While we have no idea within this Community Forum how long you would have to wait for your iPhone 6 Case, I can tell you that there would not be a "general" answer of value.  Like any product that is available in different materials and colors, the inventory varies based on what you have specifically ordered.  For example, I visited an Apple Store on the day after the iPhone 6 became available and was interested in the "Midnight Blue" Leather"  Apple iPhone 6 Case.  The store had plenty of all the other colors, but that specific case and color had sold out that morning. 

  • Cheaper Price for Apple Care

    I bought my MacBook Pro almost a year ago.
    Now, I've decided I want to purchase the Apple Care package.
    If I'm not mistaken - since it's been less than a year I can get a chepaer price for the Apple Care.
    I might be mistaken and if more than a year passes I don't pay more for Apple Care - but I just can't buy it...
    Does anyone has an answer for me?

    No, you don't get a reduced price for waiting.
    You can, however, shop around. Amazon and B&H and other sites usually have AppleCare available at a discount from what Apple directly charges.

  • How to increase the waiting time for response in Adapter Engine not in IE

    Hi Experts,
                It is a SOAP to Proxy Synchronous interface. SOAP system is sending the request to PI, PI sending the same request to ECC system, After execution of some logic response back to PI in 7 minutes. In ABAP Stack(sxmb_moni) processing the response message also successfully with success flag after completion of these 7 minutes. But exactly 5 minutes later getting the error at Java Stack RWB- in communication channel monitoring i.e
    com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessageExpiredException: Message bd2bf8d0-b2c2-11e0-c383-001cc4fb5cb7(OUTBOUND) expired.  We have set the "runtime-HTTP_TIMEOUT" parameter as 3600. thats why in Integration engine it is processing successfully.
    kindly suggest me how to increase the waiting time for response in Adapter Engine. Exactly after 5 mins getting the above error in rwb, but in Integration Engine getting successful flag after 7 mins until then it is waiting for response with  status flag Log version.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Srihari.

  • What does the option 'Settings- incorrect waiting time for status' do ?

    Hi All
    We had an infopackage that seemed to be hanging this morning . (Yellow Status) I was advised to access the option 'Settings->incorrect waiting time for status' and set the wait time to 7 minutes (from 7 hours). This changed the status to Red.
    I then re-ran the ipak and reset the ''Settings->incorrect waiting time for status'  to 7 hours. This made the red process go back to yellow and the run time started going up again.
    Can someone explain what is going on. Have I got 2 instances of the same ipak running simulateously. Why did the red one come back to life even thoug I deleted the request in data target for that ipak.
    Thanx
    HKF

    Thanks, Verdi - the first time I enabled,/ or disabled, I hadn't realised what had actually changed, as I think I'm so used to seeing my links open in Safari anyway!

  • My Display Only Works Part of the Time and Apple Care Won't Help Me (Long)

    I bought my computer at a discounted price because it was a restocked item, but was it really worth it? I'm beginning to think not. I saw that it had one stuck pixel, but saving that much money on such an expensive computer, the pixel hardly seemed like a travesty. However, I think I've discovered the real reason why the last owner gave up such a seemingly exceptional piece of hardware...
    After about a month of flawless operation my "new" computer started to act a little strangely. It wouldn't always go to sleep when it was scheduled, the screen saver wouldn't always come on by itself...things that I though a simple PRAM reset, SMC reset, or disk permission repair would fix. After countless attempts at all three "fixes" I was still having problems...a few days after these problems started occuring something even more drastic happened: My computer would turn on (the little light would come on, I'd hear the fans start running and the start up tone) but the screen would remain black. I tried several PRAM and SMC resets as suggested on this forum, but the screen continued to come up black for about an hour. That's when I called Apple.
    The Apple Care specialist on the phone asked me for the serial in which I had to lift the computer up to get (since I obviously couldn't read it off the screen). She suggested an SMC reset which, I explained to her, I had tried already but it hadn't worked, however, I was willing to give it another shot. Oddly (and rather annoyingly) enough it worked, and for a short amount of time I was happy...until it happened again...another call to Apple...and again...and about 3 or 4 calls to Apple Care later, they suggested that I go in to an Apple Store to have it looked at.
    The Apple Specialist made an appointment with me to meet with an Apple Genius the next day at 4:30PM at a store about a mile away from my house. The next day I lugged my 24" iMac through the local mall (I'm female, 5'2", and I weigh about 108 so it wasn't too easy of a feat) to discover the apple store was CLOSED for the next few days so that they could "make the store better." I called Apple Care on my cell phone right there in the mall and asked them what was going on. Didn't they know that this Apple Store was closed? The man I was talking to said that they knew and he wasn't sure how the person I had talked to just the day before had signed me up for an appointment when he hadn't even asked for my e-mail address. It was most bizarre. This man made an appointment with me for later that same day at an Apple Store about 45 minutes away from where I live. I didn't want to go, but I'm a college student and I was a desperate for my computer to work again.
    Shaking around in that box must have brought it out of it's strange seized-up state because as I brought it out for the Mac Genius to look at it turned on for him no problem. Quite a frustrating problem because it's so spontainious that it keeps making me look like either a liar or a fool. He said he'd run an 8-hour diagnostic check on it and I could pick it up the next day. So the next day I waited for their call but I got none. I called them and they said that they were still running tests and it'd be ready the next day. The day after, about an hour and a half before I had to go to work, they called me and told me my computer was ready. They said they had ran a 24-hour diagnostic and everything was working fine but they said they'd run more tests if I wanted them to. I'm a full-time college student and I need my computer for just about all of my classes, so I declined more tests and told them I'd pick it up right away. I dashed over there to pick it up and dashed back as fast as I could (and I even made it to work on time...but just barely). Later that night I found that they had accidentally left their diagnostics CD in my computer (I called them about it and they said that would like it if I would bring it back...I still haven't mailed it).
    All was fine and good (well, just okay...it still had problems with its sleeping and screen-savering) with my computer until yesterday. I got that black screen again upon start up....but this time my "fixes" worked after a few tries. There were no more problems for the rest of yesterday.
    However, today I came home from school and go to start up my computer and the screen turned on and I saw the little mac symbol and that little circle of bars...but then it froze. I held in the little button to force a shutdown and when I started it back up again I was greeted by my good old friend, Mr. Black Screen. Just wonderful. I tried my "fixes" but today I didn't get lucky. So while I was holding in the button to start up my computer (again) and give it another go, I held it longer than I was supposed to and the little on light began flickering. Then I heard this unpleasant tone that lasted a few seconds before stopping and treating me to the startup sound. This time the screen turned on. Yay! I go to call Apple to find out what I had just done, and I find out that my 90 days are up and unless I wanted to pay $50 for them to be puzzled by my issue once more or give them $300 for not quite 3 more years of service, I'd have to lug my computer to an Apple Store or post here to get help. Thanks a lot Apple Care.
    My "new" computer cost me almost $3,000. It should work the way it's supposed to. I need it to last me no less than 6 more years, but with the problems I've had with it in the first 3 months (which seem only to be getting worse and more frequent), I don't know if I'm expecting WAY too much out of it. I've been a loyal Apple user for 13 years and out of the 5 computers I've had in that time I've never had so many problems (actually I've never had any problems, at least nothing really serious; I'd never even called Apple Care before this). I'm a fairly experienced user (I'm not a Mac Genius or anything, but I know the ropes) and I am sure this is not normal behavior for an Apple computer (or any computer of that matter).
    I'm so frusterated I'm not sure what to do. What's wrong with my computer? How can I get Apple to help me? How can I get Apple to even believe me? Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thank you so much for reading my very long (and rather dramatic) story.

    Thanks for reading and thanks for the advice. Perhaps I'll ask them about it next time this problem occurs, although carrying the thing through a mall that is only about a mile away is the least of my worries. I'll do if it is both free (I don't make enough at my job to pay for such a service) and relatively speedy, although I'd hate for them to come over and for the computer to work properly (as bad as that sounds). It'd be a wasted trip and nothing would get fixed.
    I'm contemplating videotaping myself performing my "fixes" on it the next time I have this problem.

  • Waiting list for Apple Store for iPad

    Hi All,
    I put my name on the preferred waiting list for the iPad at my local apple store (Mass) on July 11th. The first time I talked to someone, he said it would take 2 weeks. The next time I talked to someone they said it would take a couple of days. Then I talked to someone else and he said "it could take a couple of days or a couple of months, we don't know".
    This seems very strange to me because you would think that corporate or some subsidiary would notify the retail store of an upcoming shipment of an extremely popular product. I work in marketing and sales, and I know that when i have a large shipment for a customer, we notify them when their product is coming.
    So my question is what is with the lack of information?
    Anyone else that has been on the preferred waiting list: what was your experience like? How long did you have to wait? (FYI: it is a 16 GB WiFi only model).
    Thank you for your time.
    -Matt

    You should just order it online. I think that supply is tight for the device everywhere.
    Apple does things differently. You might be on a list, but it could have 200 names on it. They'd call you if it was available for you (more likely they'd email).
    Really, if you had ordered online, you'd have it by now.
