What is the possibility that I bought a completely new iPhone with different SN on each component?

Hi all,
M right in the Apple store in Shanghai writing this post. And still feeling bad about what I have experenced today.
Last June, I have got a completely new 4S to replace my old 4, which had encounted many annoying issues when I was using it. And this 4S was a completely new one, I mean, not those officially retrofit ones for ordinary replacement when reparing. Howevewhen the locking button doesn't work well and I came for warranty today. The genius told me that the SN on main board and the sim card support doesn't match and refused to repair it.
Brilliant! This is the FIRST time that I am going to get my new 4S repaired and, BANG! it just became some sucky 4S that I have tried to repair it by myself or some un-official channel? And I think I have never done these things before. Well at least when I am still myself.
Now the genius is trying to confirm this device after I provided my recipt for last repair.
Is Apple became more unefficient and pretty badly servered recently? and BTW can anyone tell me what is the possibility that a so-called new device from Apple has same problem.
Well, guess this might be my last Apple device...

Hi wjosten,
Actually what ****** me off was the attitude from the genius here. I have my iPhone 4 repaired 3 times and 2 of which is replacing the main board. And finally they provided me a new 4S and I appreciate that. However, this time according to their words, seems it was ME who cos all these ****. And finally they agreed to check and confirm the issue for me after I argued with them. I don't think everyone is ok for that.
Yep the world is not perfect. I am, even not so much any more, an apple fan. But this time my patience had been gone really.

  • Can you load apps that you bought onto a new Iphone with out hooking the phone up to a computer/itunes

What I am wanting to know is if their is a way for me to get the apps I bought on the old phone onto the new one with out a computer?  PLEASE HELP!!!!

    It will ask you if you want to set it up as a new iPhone or backup from an old iPhone. If you backup from the old iPhone you **might** loose the apps/data that you have downloaded from the point on that you got the new iPhone. You can always redownload the apps from the store.

    what is the best way to set up my childs iphone with apple id and as part of home sharing?

    So do I have to hook up an Ethernet cable to both the Uverse AND my computer from the Time Capsule?
    I'm not sure that I understand everything that you want to do and where devices will be located.
    The Time Capsule must connect to the "main" Uverse router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection. An Ethernet cable can be run up to 300+ feet with virtually no loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule wherever you want.....unless you have a very large estate.
    If you want the Time Capsule to strengthen the wireless signal provided by the Uverse router, then the Time Capsule must be located in the area where you need that additional signal strength.
    If I understand your post correctly, you plan to install the Time Capsule in the office? When you do this, you can configure the Time Capsule to create a wireless signal that uses the exact same wireless network name and password as the Uverse wireless network.
    That will provide a much stronger signal for your Uverse wireless network in the office area. Hopefully, the bedroom that you mention is close to the office, so it will pick up the stronger wireless signal from the Time Capsule.
    The iMac in the office can connect to the Time Capsule using another short Ethernet cable connection, or the iMac can connect using wireless.  A wired connection is always preferred, if possible.
    At this point, I guess the first question would be.......
    Do you have a location for the Time Capsule that will be close to the office....and...the bedroom where you want a stronger wireless signal?

  • HT201269 stuck on the screen that says "Welcome to your new Iphone"

    I need some help.. I've recently repaired my iphone 4 and had it in recovery mode. I plugged it in to itunes (using Windows on a PC) and it sorted itself out of recovery mode. A screen then opens saying something like "Welcome to your new iPhone" where my option is to set up as new iphone or restore from backup. (shown as a screen dump under nr 6 in the checklist here: iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device)
    I restore from a backup and everything seems to be going allright, when the restore is done iTunes says I will have to go through a setup on my phone. I do the setup and the phone now contains some old photos, textmessages, contacts, web favorites, e-mail setup and other things. But iTunes still shows the Welcome-page! I cant continue with the sync of my music and apps! my only option is to set up as new iphone or restore from backup again. I've tried a number of times to restore from backup and the only thing that happens is a new backup is shown in the scrollbar. (sorry, don't know if scrollbar's even a word..)
    Whats wrong? Anybody?

    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Restore “...

    If necessary Place the Device into Recovery mode...

  • What's the fastest way to buy/order a new iPhone?

    The apple online store still says "shipping by July 14th". Is there any other method of ordering an iPhone 4 (black, 32GB) that would get it into my hands faster than that?
    (I probably won't go down the road of bonking a pre-orderer on the head with a rock, or following a FedEx truck and taking one off of someone's porch)

    Doubtful, since production can't keep up with demand and all available units appear to be sold out.

    I'm seeing a hot pink background (which is my browser default
    - so that I do
    remember to declare a background color). You need to add:
    body { background-color: white;} to your stylesheet, or into
    the imbedded
    styles on your page.
    In Firefox, the very top black section, #headertop is hidden
    behind the
    header image.

    I can see the header image stretching right across the page..

    thanks

    Hi,
    I can tell you the most common reasons of these failures.
    1. request everything ok
    Here it will be telling you if the request was properly send to source system and got triggered there.
    2. extraction everything ok
    In this step the actual extraction of data happens, issue slike sysfail or CPIC error may cause this to fail.
    3. transfer (idocs and trfc) error occured?
    When extraction is complete and data is being send to BW. But if dur to some reason it fails, error may come here.
    4. processing
    Processing in BW fails for each data packet is displayed here.
    This can also happen when you have sysfail in source.
    5. process chain
    This can show the logs of the chain here and also status of subsequent process.
    6 other messages.
    Any other error message.

  • My iSight is not working on my Macbook Pro. What are the possible problems and solutions?

    My iSight is not working on my Macbook Pro. What are the possible problems and solutions?

    Hello Douglas,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the built-in iSight camera on your MacBook Pro.  I recommend the following steps for this issue:
    Important: Follow these instructions in order. Test the camera between steps to see if the issue is resolved.
    Built-in iSight cameras
    These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
    See if the issue is application-specific.
    Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
    See if the issue is user-specific.
    Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
    Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
    Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
    Reset SMC or PMU
    Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
    If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

  • My ipad mini was stolen and i have activated the find my phone to lock it. how can i get the serial number off my itunes or icloud profile? and what are the chances that the find my iphone app works when someome erases the device?

    my ipad mini has been stolen and i have activated the find my iphone to lock. now it is only a wifi device so what are the chances that a person can get hold of it and log onto wifi without the password of my device to unlock. does that not make the app rather less useful as i have to hope that the person is apt enough to log onto the internet but not enough to erase it and start afresh. is it possible to find my device even afte someone has erased it?

    "Losing your iPhone feels lousy. Thankfully, iCloud can help you get it back. But if it looks like that’s not going to happen, new Find My iPhone features in iOS 7 make it harder for anyone who’s not you to use or sell your device. Now turning off Find My iPhone or erasing your device requires your Apple ID and password. Find My iPhone can also continue to display a custom message, even after your device is erased. And your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can reactivate it."

  • What are the entities that can be re-used in different servers, SI App, SI instance? And how?

    Greetings,
    What are the entities that can be re-used in different servers, SI App, SI instance? And how?
    e.g. can I use a deployed IQStreamable@app1  into app2?
    can I use a deployed observable/app1/siInstance1/Server1 into another query/app3/siInstance3/server2?
    On the presentation titled "04 – Installing, Deploying and Maintaining the SQL Server 2008 R2 StreamInsight Runtime Engine" with file name SQL10R2UPD05-DECK-04.pptx on ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/learn/SQL2008R2TrainingKit/Presentations/SQL10R2UPD05-DECK-04/SQL10R2UPD05-DECK-04.pptx
    It is mentioned one of the deployment option is "Deployment: Standalone Server"
    and it mention the following:
    "Use this option for the following scenarios:
    - Metadata objects need to be shared between applications
      - Event Types
      - Adapter Types
      - Query Templates
    - A data source registered with the server provides an event stream for another existing application"
    Could you please provide good example that explain the above statement?
    Cheers, Muhammad

    First, that statement - and those materials - refer to the "legacy" StreamInsight query/adapter model. They do not refer to how things work with the Reactive model introduced in version 2.1. Specifically, it talks about Dynamic Query Composition (DQC).
    You cannot use a deployed Observable in another instance of StreamInsight. You may be able to use them across applications in the same instance - off the top of my head, I'm not sure. I'm getting ready to get on a plane but will take a look at it later.
    Typically, however, applications act as containers (comparable to .NET AppDomains) so I don't think that you'd be able to do this easily. That said, the code and assemblies
    can be reused across multiple instances/applications. You would have separate instances of the classes involved but you would be able to reuse the query logic. That's a common use case.
    Can you be more specific about your use case and what you are trying to accomplish here? It's possible that there are alternative ways to do what you are trying to do.

  • My macbook is getting hot pretty quickly. What are the possible causes?  How can I tell if it is mechanical vs. dust?

    My Macbook Pro is getting hot pretty quickly. What are the possible causes?  I have had the machine about 3 years.

    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
