Where is everybody getting their TC's?

Everybody around here is sold out of them and don't know when they will get more. I'm afraid to order one in case I have to return it, based on the problems being reported here, so I would really rather buy it locally (Austin TX).

We got ours (500GB model) at an Apple store.
You should be okay ordering online. I believe they have the same 14-day policy if you get it home and hate it or it won't work for you. But as the previous poster said, these boards tend to have mostly people who are looking for help.
Rarely do you run into someone like me, who has everything running perfectly and still hits up the tech support message boards. I'm just paying it forward, since there are plenty of times when I'm on the receiving end of support and advice.

Where does apple get their wallpapers from

Where does apple get their wallpapers from and how can you contribute.

Apple seems to use a wide source for their screen images...some were from NASA (such as Lion and Mountain Lion), some may have been photo pros.
If you want, contact Apple by way of feedback, http://www.apple.com/feedback and at corporate: http://www.apple.com/contact

Where do "resellers" get their machines?

I'm thinking of upgrading from my iMac G4, but I'd like to find a convenient way to sell that machine; so, it occurred to me that "resellers" have to get their machines somewhere . . . do they buy (or, in the case of authorized dealers, take in trade) old machines in good working order? Sorry if this is a dumb question: that pretty much describes my level of understanding in these areas.

As a rule, few stores will take an old computer on trade. Apple stores will not. There is one Apple Reseller that I know of that will indeed takes trades, there may be others. The company is called powermax www/powermax.com . The firm is an Apple reseller and has been for a number of years. You contact the company and tell them about your machine. They in turn will give you a trade allowance based on what you told them. When you buy your new computer from them, you pay their full price. You then must send your old system to them within an alloted time frame. Once they check your computer out, and it's in the condition you stated, then a credit for the amount stated is placed on your credit card. I bought my current G4 from them and traded in my G3. The only hassle was getting my old unit shipped. To be honest, you mostly likely would get more money for your current G4 by trying to sell it locally or with something like eBay.

At work we have many who travel with train alot, where the internet is very unstable at best. And they have trouble getting their e-mails. So the question is if there is a way to increase the mail cache in iOS 7, to lower the dependence of internet.

At work we have many who travel with train alot, where the internet is very unstable at best. And they have trouble getting their e-mails.
So the question is if there is a way to increase the mail cache in iOS 7, to lower the dependency of a very poor internet connection.

I don't think so. Unless it's in the settings, there's not much that can be done.
are they using wifi on the train? If so, maybe switching to cellular. There are devices like the Mifi, which is a battery operated portable wifi hotspot that they can connect their device to.
If the wifi on the train is solid, I know I've had issues using certain hotspots. For example, my yahoo mail simply will not pull down via the mail app if I'm on some AT&T hot spots. But if I go in via safari then it works. So if the signal is good, maybe using a different way can help.
Or maybe looking for a mail interface that isn't apple's. There are others in the app store that may have better function or more control.

Microsoft - Worst Customer Support ever! Where can I get a decent Microsoft customer support for Windows in the UK?

I have just tried to created the ISO of the operating system I am using for last 5 years, Windows 7 Ultimate. I remembered that on Microsoft website are quick links dedicated exactly for that purpose. However, when page loaded I've seen this:
The Page or File You Requested Could Not Be Provided
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found.
If you purchased your Microsoft Windows software from another source, but have the software key provided by Microsoft, you can download the Windows operating
system from the following website:
Windows Downloads
When I have clicked on the download link it took me to the webpage which seemed everything going for it. 3-step guide, including the product code and language. Brilliant! I thought, until after filling all the details I have clicked on 'Next-Verify
Product Key' than I faced a message:
Validating your product key. This may take several minutes. Do not refresh the page or select back, doing so will cancel
the request.
When finished, a message pop up: that the language provided is not compatible with the product key - try different language. Interesting, I am using this product last five years but is not compatible with English? I must have been a fairy then
to be able to make it work for all these years. Then it got better.
I have tried it again with a different message in the end:
System Error
We encountered a problem with the product key you provided. Please visit the Microsoft Support Contact Us page
for assistance. Refer to Message Code 715-123130.
So I have contacted Microsoft. Contacting Microsoft is an experience itself and half.
Being Microsoft certified, I used the link provided for IT Pros. I click the link provided and the page started loading..... and still loading now....
So I have decided to call the customer support as you would normally do with any other organisation. To actually get to the phone number, illogically placed, took me a few loops around MS website. Once called, I got to speak to very efficient lady on reception
who kindly switched me to the Technical Support. That's going well, I thought.
Once the connection has been made, I felt that MS technical support is based in submarine 3 miles under water in Japanese sea. All I could hear was the very familiar sound of water of modern Voice over IP connection dated back in 2003 and a male voice (but
by the sound of it it might have been a whale) asking me my name. Unsurprisingly, the connection was interrupted several times when I tried to describe my issue I am having, and eventually I was disconnected.
Still not put off, I made another attempt to contact MS customer service. This time I have been talking to a woman, seemed a little bit closer, maybe Bristol waters? Still in the submarine but not so deep. Also here I was asked my name AND surname; then
I have described my intentions and the difficulty I am having in succeeding it. The woman on the phone didn't get at all what I was saying. I had to literally spat out word by word what the problem is. (Luckily, I have many years of experience supporting IT
users over 60 years of age so it didn't take so long to explain it to her.) My thought just was, oh my God, how can she help if she didn't even understand the issue. Then the phone went completely dead for 10 mins. When it came back to life, I could hear clear
sound of fishing boat passing by until a voice, I assume the same woman, apologised for the delay. And now - the best is coming:
1) I was informed that the website is being tested, under construction and that doesn't work properly.
Comment: How can Microsoft, one of
leading organisation in technology, do testing of website 'live'? Quite clearly, that is BS.
2) I was advised to obtain the ISO image from 3rd Party website!!!! On question if she can give me the link to any 3rd party website the answer was NO.
Comment: Seriously, so here we are in 21st Century, dealing with almost the GOD in IT and the recommended solution is - to obtain help for the God's product from UNKNOWN 3rd Party. Brilliant! If this is the case, where Microsoft is exactly heading to???
3) She cannot tell me when the issue of non-working website will be sorted and I should go and buy the copy of Windows; than I will be able to do the ISO.
Comment: Well, that's what I call a professional advise from Microsoft representative. The fact that I do have the physical copy was totally ignored, the fact that I have been running the system for several years have been totally ignored the whole point
of this exercise (to cut down the time making ISO using Microsoft website) was totally ignored.
When I started asking questions to clarify what has been said I have been continuously interrupted.
To my question whether MS customer service representative have been trained to interrupt customers I have been told that I am talking over her. I asked her name, which she told me but I didn't catch and therefore I have asked if she could spell it. On that
point she hung up.
Well done Microsoft! And now I want to know just one reason why I should buy your products when the support, in case of problems, is not existent.
Does anyone know where I can get a decent customer service that can resolve my issue better than smudge it ?
Thank you.

Just having the same issue there, which is real not fun, I have not tried to contact them, but looking at your experience I am not sure if I should.
My key comes from the back of a laptop o so I guess that would be a W7
OEM, and that could explain why you can't download a ISO from their website, would that also your case ?
Also could it be because we are attempting to get the ISO after the product became EOL ?

Maybe I will give a go with the customer care people and maybe I will get a right answer ;)
Will keep you posted

Where can I get some feet for my 15" Macbook Pro (mid 2009) without the cost of A$200

I am loosing my mind. Can anuone please help?
I have a 15" mid 2009 Macbook Pro, that I love. It is my 6th Apple computer so it's not like I haven't contributed to the Apple estate.
I use it for work and study so it pretty much runns continuously and has since its purchase in 2009. So, as you can imagine wear and tear are starting to show.
3 of the 4 feet have come off and this is making me crazy. It does not ventilate properly and doesn't sit well on the desk. I have attempted to buy all manner of feet to fit it, but nothing works.
So, I took it to my local Apple store a while ago in search of some replacement feet for it. Because, Apple have to inspect all repair jobs.
I cannot buy, the feet alone, I must buy the complete bottom housing for it at the cost of A$199.00 (WHAT!!!, I HEAR YOU SAY!!!, and that is pretty much exactly what I said when I was told this by my apple genius (and yes, I did say Genius with a sarcastic tone), but certainly the thoughts that ran through my mind were far stronger).
So, in my eternal search to make my perfectly working but incredibly annoying, beloved macbook pro be as good as ever, I have been to 2 "apple" dealers in the hope to buy this product at a cheaper price. Because, 1. I don't want the base, only the feet and 2. I don't want to pay 200 bucks for it.
Anyway. the first purchase I made was through some dodgy chinese website. Apparently, there is no one at the other end, because all corespondense was ignored. But I did get my money back.
But the second has really done my head in. www.applecomponents.com had advertised the part at $US69. So, I purchased and paid with paypal and all was well with the world. But, This morning I recieved the following email. And this is the entirity of the message from a business with obviously no customer service skill, not address, no phone number. Just a rude individual at the end of the email.
Remember, this was the whole email...
"so it's looking like this part was in the wrong bin. we don't actually have one. we can get new, but it would cost around $150.
please advise?"
***? (and I am really holding back bolding that text and setting the font size to 68).
In Australia, if a product is advertised at a price, that is what we pay for it.
So, I re-check the website and the price has increase $100 but, it still says "in stock".
Right about now, I am starting to get quite frustrated, with this faceless nameless person/company/shonk.
I get in touch with some consumer experts and reply and I recieve the following reponse...
"it was an honest mistake. we have a lot parts. we haven't sold one of these bottom cases for over 6 months. whoever labeled em' did it wrong. I don't have the part, but I have access to ordering it new with my vendor - hence the price change.
feel free to call me anytime and we can talk it out.
thanks
phillip
503-806-6423"
(not really sure where this phone number resides so the 10 digits are useless)
Now, Phillip is not the person I made the payment to. The payment was made to Alex Kraft.
Who, After I demanded the product. Has just refunded my money and dissapeard off the planet.
I am sick and tired of these shonks and it is now my mission to stop these people from trading.
Sorry for my digression but, I feel, all should be aware of these people. Scammers.
But, if anyone knows where I can get some feet from someone who will bloddy supply them at a price that is reasonable.
Please let me know.
Thanks

your situation is not new. Others have been told by Apple that they have to purchase the entire bottom panel in order to replace the feet. There are engineering solutions that can solve this problem, but to pay nearly $200 to replace a part that costs less than $1 (I am being very, very conservative) to manufacture is too excessive.
I have had the feet come off as well. Fortunately for me, I have not lost them and have been able to replace them. Why they cannot sell them individually is a puzzle to me. Perhaps some bean counter at Apple feels its too much effort to have these items individually in their inventory. I have had nothing but good comments to say about Apple, but sadly this is an exception.
To address your problem, I have seen second hand ones advertised on Ebay. The price was a bit steep, $10 as I remember. Other wise, wjosten's suggestion is the only alternative.

I am trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro 13", when i run bootcamp it tells me that there is not a windows support software available for my computer. Where can i get the windows support software for my macbook?

Apple only supports Windows on certain hardware.
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Apple provides their framework for Windows to run on a Mac, a piece of software called a Hybrid MBR that bridges the gap between how Windows reads the drive partition table (MBR) and EFI/GUID partition table that Mac's use.
It doesn't mean Windows can't run on your Mac, a third party solution called rEFIt will also bridge the gap and allow booting of more that just Windows, Linux as well for a triple booting computer.
Your hardware has to meet the other requirements the second and third operating system needs as as being able to install drivers that will work for your hardware, especially the fans or they will run loud and fast by default.
http://refit.sourceforge.net/
This above is a advanced procedure which requires knowledge how computers and various operating systems, drive formats and so forth work.
I even admit I don't know everything myself, but I experiment on a separate piece of Mac hardware (out of warranty/AppleCare) designed for this purpose so in case something screws up I'm not taking down my only machine and can use the other to get online and find solutions.
There is a very high potential for losing your data if your using advanced/non-Apple methods to install Windows on your only Mac where Apple doesn't support it. Also one shouldn't be doing this on Mac hardware that is under AppleCare or warranty as it might be voided. Proceed at your own risk and education.

Where can I get a copy of elements 8 for mac

Suddenly, when I try to open Elements 8 for Mac I get the message, "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I tried repairing it using Support's nine suggested solution. None worked.
I no longer have my original DMG file I downloaded (don't ask me why). I do have the serial number in my Adobe account so I can install and run another copy. But, I need a copy. Where can I get one without paying a second time for it?
I'm happy with PSE 8 and feel no pressing need to upgrade. I just want back what I had before this sudden development.
Thanks.
Terry

I really appreciate the link. Unfortunately, it says a copy is no longer available for Mac OSX. Do you know if I can still get one somewhere else from Adobe? It's their product that failed me. I'm going to switch to Acorn, a nice low-priced full featured PSE alternative. I already use Lightroom for my photography but need graphic design capabilities for my website, business cards, etc.
Thanks.

I need a new power management board for MacBook Pro.   The AC 7000 chip is blown from power serge. Where can I get one in Fiji?

Where can I get my power management board repaired ...replace the AC7000 chip ( that now has a little hole in it from a power serge ) or replaced in Fiji?

Actually, this is how I do my projects   . . . I pull together all the assets (video clips, stills, graphics) and tag them in a database. Then, I can pull them into various segments.   I learned the ctrl+m five years ago when it was suggested on the old forum by some guy named named Steve Grisetti.
Example - - - I've done multiple soccer videos. There are maybe 16 players on a team... each is a tag.   There are great headers . . . that's a tag . . . don't forget awesome defensive plays . . . tag.   A tag for screwups / funny.    A tag for regular season play, a tag for post-season playoffs, etc.
This allows you to build it as you go.   So, as you start to compile a season end video, it's relatively simple to pull content.    Oops, you review the segments and see that one kid's hardly included... select the tag with their name and you can pull in a few more clips.   If you're documenting a season, you can see how the database is coming along and determine you need more footage of certain situations and then adjust the shooting priorities at the next couple games, etc.
As you build the collection, possible themes come... perhaps a song or two that might add an element or tie things together.
SO... goal is to assemble a collection of decent and tight clips (leaving room for handles on each). Tossing out all the superferlous stuff.    In shooting a 90 minute soccer game, there can be times when I end up with only ten minutes of visually interesting stuff.
I'm also compiling content to be used in a video for a cool company here in Seattle.   Different thing altogether, but will take a similar apporach (fewer digital assets, however).
I don't usually take assets from one project and put onto another . . . especially when doing youth sports, this could create issues.

Where can i get an ipad for free?

Go to a store that offers store credit for refunds. Buy something that costs at least as much as an iPad. Return that item for store credit. Use your store credit to get an iPad.
Or do like everybody else who wants an iPad, and buy one.

Where can I get an internal card reader/usb 3.0/firewire/SATS, etc for my Mac

Where can I get an internal memory card reader?
Is there one that also combines to give usb 3.0, firewire, SATS, etc.?

combo cards are terrible but if you look you will see that Highpoint has a USB3 card, yes; or SATA3 (which is probably better).
FW is slower than any drive in existence now.
multi interface chip cards have never performed well but needed back in their day, like OldWorld PowerMacs and those lacking FW800 and USB2.

From Where I Can Get The Vmware 6.5 Serial # Or Crack.

Hello there,

Asif Iqbal
Software Engineer ( Karachi, Pakistan )

If you go to their web site (vmware.com) with a credit card they will happily provide you with a serial number. You can also get an evaluation licence for free which will give you a serial number that will work for 30 days. Most other options that you are suggesting are likely to be illegal or infringe copyright.
