What is Apple's policy on replacements for original iPhones?

I have had an original iPhone since about six months after they came out (8GB). I use it as a daily phone, but after six years, I was hoping to have it replaced (and pay out of pocket). Anyone know the costs of purchasing one from Apple? It was offered a while back, but I never took them up on it.
Screen cracked in the bottom right corner, mute switch stuck, aluminum dinged, and scratched plastic.

What is Apple's policy on providing phone support for Leopard

I've used every Apple operating system since day one (of Apple) and have never had as many issues, especially wireless connection issues, as I have had with Leopard. I would like to call Apple and talk to their phone support folks but I would find it very frustrating to have to pay money for phone support when I've already shelled out $129 for an operating system that is clearly problematic. What is Apple's policy on providing operating system phone support??? thanks... bob...

See page 71 of the book that came with your Leopard package - 90 days of complimentary telephone support

Just ordered a MacBook pro-what is Apple's policy on getting free upgrade to Lion once released this month

What is Apple's policy in terms of free upgrades for recently purchased systems. particularly a MacBook Pro ordered directly from Apple's online store and not yet received.

Any new Mac purchased on or after June 6th qualifies. See the link below for details.

If your purchase date on the invoice is on or after that date, it qualifies.

What will Apple charge me to replace hard drive?

My iMac hard drive is failing and needs to be replaced (according to Disk Utility). What will Apple charge me to replace hard drive or should I just do it myself? Purchased new in mid-2010 and I do not have AppleCare. I've seen videos on replacing the hard drive and it seems a bit tricky. Any advice?

Thanks for the response and suggestion. I will give them a call once I get ho,e and have my serial number etc on hand. If anyone has done this, please post what you were charged. Thanks!

OK, as always I waited before downloading a new OS and I sure glad I did. On the APP store I sorted comments by most critical...and WHOA...what is Apple doing? No support for Logic 9, MS Office? Is Apple only trying to reach the iphone/iTouch crowd? HELP!

Is Apple only trying to reach the iphone/iTouch crowd? HELP! I was going to buy a new Mac pro & two 27" monitors but until I see some real problem addressing by Apple...I'll keep what I have and see how everything pans out. If anyone has any comments to ally my fears, I welcome them. I've been a devoted Mac user since 1993. 7500; G4; G5; and my latest Mac Pro...Where do I go? Again...HELP!

Hi there,
If you look through ALL the reviews, they are mainly good. I feel that Lion is an excellent upgrade, although not essential.
There have been some issues with MS Office, but right now, it is up to Microsoft to issue a Lion compatible update, which will come in time. Saying this, MS Office has been working fine on my mac, it seems to be an isolated issue.
Logic 9 seems like a strange issue. Again, an update looks to be coming soon, with Lion support.
I do not feel that apple only focusing on the iPhone and iPad user base. There are many features carried along, but the machine can still be used for pro tools and use just as well. It still is a fantastic, reliable, fast, easy to use OS, which I have had very few problems with. Some additions you may not use, but they don't get in the way. You will love the new Exposé, Mission Control, as it is great for pro users who have many windows open at once, and the new spaces. You may however, never use Launchpad, but you don't have to, just drag it away from the dock!
I really reccomend buying a mac with Lion, although if you are worried about bugs, wait a few months for the issues to be ironed out, and updates to be given. Because the update is so very cheap, I really think you can hardly go wrong. Try it out with your current mac, and if you like it, go ahead and buy your new ones.
Lion is fantastic, albeit maybe rushed.
Any other queries, just ask,
Nathan

What music app is the best replacement for iTunes 11 on OS X? Must be able to open multiple playlists.

What music app is the best replacement for iTunes 11 on OS X? Must be able to open multiple playlists.

First step before doing anything with OD is to make certain that local DNS services are correct. To verify that, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities on the test server, and issue the following harmless, diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
You'll need to enter your administrative password for the sudo to be accepted.
If the output from that command reports no changes are required, then an export from the original OD and an import into the test system would be typical for testing, if you trust what's in the original OD.

My apple id is not working for my iPhone activation. Please help me.

my apple id is not working for my iPhone activation. Please help me.
i'll just restore it.

Not working in what way?
Only the Apple ID that was used to enable "Find My iPhone" on the device can be used to bypass Activation Lock.

My charger broke so I gave my sister the charger, and my iPod touch for proof. She took it to the apple store and traded it for an iPhone 5c. I was wondering if apple can do something for me so I could get my ipod back?

I have no idea what you meant by giving your sister your "iPod touch for proof". Proof of what?
The only way she could have traded it was recycling it for 10% off the cost of a new device but the Apple Store doesn't do this as far as I know for iPhones. You could take the receipt for your iPhone to the Apple Store and show it to the manager but you really need to solve this within your family.

Hello, where can I buy a apple uk ac adapter? For my iphone 5s.

Hello, where can I buy a apple uk ac adapter? For my iphone 5s.

While in CA, the easiest thing to get would be the pin adapter to convert the US pins to fit the UK socket at any hardware store. The iPhone power adapter can handle the voltage difference without any problems.
This is what I carry with me when I travel overseas.

Is apple planning to release bumpers for the iphone 5

Is apple planning to release bumpers for the iphone 5

I got a bargin on Belkin silicon bumpers for my Iphone on order from the Apple online store. The retail Apple sales guy told me that its a best one to get and for the price, it was a steal. I agree with him since I know Silicon is a good impact protector and the streamlined look if it is pleasing to the eye. It doesnt however have a circle hole in the back of the protector to showcase the Apple logo, which I find ok for two reasons, it hides the logo thus making the phone harder for thieves when out to ID it as an Apple Iphone and two, it strenghtens the case making it a better impact protector for my incoming Iphone.
Hope this helps...
Best Regards

Apple's policy on replacing defective units?

Hello,
I wonder if anyone knows what Apple’s official policy is on replacing defective units not bought from an Apple store? The unit has been discovered to be defective and has been repaired multiple times. Some things on the MBP are also un-repairable.
Does Apple give the 14 day exchange on the new unit?
Thanks for any help.

If you live in California there are some specific laws that apply. See below. This language was included in an email from Apple regarding a recent mail in repair.
If NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS
1. An estimate for repairs, as required (section 9844 of the California Business and Professions Code), shall be given to the customer by the service dealer in writing. The service dealer may not charge for work done or parts supplied in excess of the estimate without the prior consent of the customer. Where provided in writing the service dealer may charge a reasonable fee for services provided in determining the nature of the malfunction in preparation of a written estimate for repair. For information, contact the Bureau of Electronic and Appliance Repair, Department of Consumer Affairs, Sacramento, CA 95814.
2. A buyer of this product in California has the right to have this product serviced and repaired during the warranty period. The warranty period will be extended for the number of whole days that the product has been out of the buyer's hands for warranty repairs. If a defect exists during the warranty period, the warranty will not expire until the defect has been fixed. The warranty period also will be extended if the warranty repairs have not been performed due to delays caused by circumstances beyond the control of the buyer, or if the warranty repairs did not remedy the defect and the buyer notifies the manufacturer or seller of the failure of the repairs within 60 days after they were completed. +If, after a reasonable number of attempts, the defect has not been fixed, the buyer may return this product for a replacement or a refund+ subject, in either case, to deduction of a reasonable charge for usage. The time extension does not affect the protection or remedies the buyer has under other laws.
I am not sure what constitutes a "reasonable number of attempts" for a repair.
I am not sure what the laws are in other states. I purchased mine when I lived in California, but live in Chicago now.

What is Apple's policy on Resolution of Movies and TV Programs?

Can anyone explain Apple's policy on the resolution of the various movies and TV episodes on offer in the iTunes store? I was surprised when I bought a short TV film (one of the Wallace and Gromit series) that it only had VGA (640 x 480) resolution, and therefore looks pretty fuzzy on my computer monitor - and would look fuzzy on a European TV screen also. For me it would have been better to buy the DVD. Apple must have some underlying idea about this, and they must have decided to lower the definition of some shows, presumably to minimise file sizes. I have seen discussions suggesting that some movies are offered in two resolutions (SD and HD), but what exactly are these really? I can't understand why anyone would buy a movie without knowing that it would look good on the screen. I suppose I'm looking for some kind of policy statement - has anyone seen one?

I am not sure I entirely follow your argument that when a 640 pixel wide image is adjusted for wide screen it can look sharper.
That's not what I was attempting to say, which was that a video from a DVD at the normal TV aspect ratio of 4:3 would be about 640x480 (the spec given for DVD resolution non-square pixels and works out to be 640x480 when the square pixels used on computer displays). So the videos and movies from the iTunes Store are right at DVD resolution (give or take a bit depending on the specific release).
Anyway, up to you whether you buy physical DVDs or buy downloads. There are good arguments for both, and what works for some people won't suit others. There won't be any huge quality difference, though, between an SD DVD and an SD video/movie purchased from the iTunes Store when it comes to resolution. How well a given movie or video was encoded will be a different matter.

Will Apple offer a matte replacement for the Alum Macs Glossy Screen?

I bought an Aluminum iMac; and yes I love the speed etc; but the one flaw in my opinion (others might disagree) is that horrific mirror like glossy glass screen.
The glare was intolerable for anyone with an artistic eye.
I solved the problem imperfectly with a anti glare film (photodon) and its a good temp solution.
But ultimately can anyone speculate whether apple will offer a replacement matte screen? I know its easily removable; can a matte screen be added in place of the glass and still have a great display? Might they offer it as an option in the future? If not; why not?
thanks

It is simply a sheet of plate glass held in place with magnets. Supposedly it has some sort of anti-glare coating on it, but it's not apparent. You might try taking it off and bringing it to an art supply store to have them cut you an identically sized piece of anti-glare glass. I'm surprised that by this point there isn't already an after-market supplier making them for the iMac.

HT5622 Will apple replace the original iPhone screen and LCD and digitizer and how much will it be ????? And please tell me ??? Thank you :) for the help :)

Will apple still fix the original iPhone screen ???? And digtizer ???

Apple no longer supports the original iPhone. If you really want to repair it, you'll need to either take/send it to a third-party repair shop or buy parts and attempt repair yourself. Myself I wouldn't spend any money trying to repair the original iPhone.
Regards.
