When does Apple take payment for iMac after order?

Hello everyone,
I am looking at ordering a new iMac from the Apple online store but as it takes so long to dispatch I was wondering if the money is taken from your account the second you order or if maybe just before they start to put it together for you they then take the payment as I will be getting the funds in the next week or so but I want to order it now so that it would arrive quicker.
Thanks,
Danny

Danny,
When you place the order, Apple Store will "encumber" the funds but not post the charge, just to see if your credit card is valid. When the order reaches the "Preparing to Ship" stage, you will see a "pending charge" appear on your credit card. For me, I did not actually see the charge post to my credit card until it had arrived at my home.
I hope this helps.
Larry

Does apple take payments for for fixing broken Mac Pro?

Broken Mac Pro that needs to be fixed and I do not have 700 to fix it. Do they do a payment plan for fixing the Mac Pro?

If you are dealing directly with Apple in the US, you can ask for a Depot Repair. It may require the approval of the Store Manager, so be sure to be nice to everyone you deal with.
This takes about a week, subject to parts availability, and your MacBook is shipped to a regional Depot where it is returned to "operates as new" condition (based on a list of defects you provide) except for existing scuff marks on the case. The service is provided at a lower flat rate -- about half the cost of an in-store motherboard replacement. Anything on your "laundry list" will be looked at and addressed.
I submitted one MacBook for this treatment for a screen problem, and I complained that the top case was also cracked. They replaced the entire top case and the keyboard in it, all included.
If your MacBook has unauthorized modifications, such as an SSD in the DVD bay, these must be removed before submitting your machine for this service. Otherwise, your machine will be returned to you un-repaired. Aftermarket drives and memories installed in the expected spaces are acceptable.
Other than the time required, I do not know what or why some repairs might qualify for Depot Repair. If anyone reading knows, please speak up!

When does apple take the money from your checking-account when you buy songs on itunes?

So i I bought songs on itunes, and I was wondering when does the money come out of your checking-account after purchasing songs? It took out money directly the first time when i purchased a song, but not it seems like it's taking longer then usual. Does anyone know how long it takes for apple to take the money you spent out of your checking-account?

Unfortunately, you are not addressing apple here - these are user to user technical forums and the volunteers here are not shady.
As for your issue: did Apple have to replace the screen or components behind it? If so, it is quite possible that the entire top was replaced as some of them are a complete unit. If that is not the case, you should address this with the Apple people you dealt with for the repair.

When does apple release update for 3g

i want a new update like 5.0 on iphone 3g please!

No one here works for Apple. No one here knows what Apple's future plans might be. However, it's a pretty safe bet that there will be no more upgrades for the 3G.

When does Apple will take unlocking for Mexico (Telcel) iPhones seriously? Because That carrier give thousands of evasive responses to people that ask for an unlocking service after their contracts are done...

When does Apple will take unlocking for Mexico (Telcel) iPhones seriously? Because That carrier give thousands of evasive responses to people that ask for an unlocking service after their contracts are done...

This is the best invention to make people buy new devices. Why am I asking this to Apple???? Maybe I´m wrong and I have to ask to Microsoft or maybe Google? There is a law that obligates all carrier companies to unlock those devices that are off contract. But even with this, this company denies to do it. They suppor their idea in the fact that that law was published on Oct´12, so brilliantly they have solved to unluck only those devices bought after that date..... I have all those evidences but all are in spanish.....

Does Apple Genius change my iMac hard drive to SSD?? If i already bought a ssd ??? and just take ssd and my imac to genius and maintain my apple care??

wouldn't it make a difference if the SSD was an Apple product? And can't you order just the Apple SSD? At the local Apple store many of the geniuses won't touch it if it's a third party item.

Does Apple offer Credits for purchase that go on sale shortly after purchase?

I made purchase and with 7 days the item is now on sale. Does Apple offer credits for such purchases and if so how does one go about applying for the credits?

I am sorry for my lack of specificity. I made my purshase through the iTunes store. I made a purchase and less than a week later the item is on sale for $10 less than I paid for it. Will they refund the difference if I bring it to their attention?

What does Apple mean by "For best battery performance, leave your device connected to a power source until the restore is complete."

I just recently returned an IPad air and exchanged it for another. I first set up this new one as a new IPad but then deleted all content and settings right away (since I wasn't getting the progress I had made in apps and games) in order to restore it from my previous IPad Air. I then checked after on how to backup via icloud and saw this line under the subtitle of how to restore from a backup, "For best battery performance, leave your device connected to a power source until the restore is complete." What does Apple mean by "for best battery performance"? Im just a bit worried of issues.
p.s. And yes I did have it connected to the power. And the ios is the default ios for new IPad Airs.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It only means you should restore whilst it is connected to a power supply, so that your battery doesn't go flat during the process.

When does java deallocate memory for objects;

um i'm working on a midp application that is very memory consuming. i would like to optimise it and make it just the oposite of what it is. now i would like to know when does java dellocate memory for an object, is it when it can find no more references to that object? or some other time, well i know its not when it can find no more references to that object because i've already tried that.
or to make things simpler is there any explicit way to make java deallocate memory for a specific object, like if i have a thread, which is executing a while loop, and i want java to end the thread and free its memory. is there any way to do this?

I happen to have quite some J2ME experience and it's not overly wise to count on extensive garbage collection. The garbage collector in limited device VMs isnt as advanced as it's big brothers. Try to avoid excessive object allocation and reuse instances whenever possible.
As for garbage collection, objects will be garbage collected if they can no longer be reached by any of the active application threads and if the garbage collectors deems it necessary to collect garbage, which will probably be when free heap memory becomes sparse or when there's some idle time in your application.

Apple does NOT unlock iPhones. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Fees and requirements vary by carrier.
You can find a list of supported carriers here along with details as to which ones offer unlocking and links to their support websites.

Does apple provide payment plan options for service work?

Hi,
My macbook pro has recently died. I believe it is something to do with the Login Board or display issues.
I have been quoted quite a large amount for the fix. I am wondering if Apple provide payment plan options for services?
This is my work computer so I need it serviced ASAP but cannot afford the quoted amount!
Thanks crew

Apple does not have financing programs for service work, only for new purchases. An independent authorized service center might, but it's unlikely. You can contact service centers in your area and ask, though. Service centers can be located through this page:
https://locate.apple.com/country
Or you can look into financing a new Mac, as seventy-one suggested.
Regards.
