Where to buy - AT&T or Apple

I'd like to hear from both sides before I decide. Thanks.

My first iPhone (original), it was a comedy of errors. I bought my iphone at the Apple Store, but had to go to ATT to get it activated. Took three trips, because at that time, one had to go home and go on iTunes to activate after the Stores did their thing. It was a horrendous experience . . . as iTunes was inundated with people trying to get activated!
The process wasn't much different when I had to activate new phones on my former Sprint network, though. Equally as complicated, but only had to go to one store . . . the Sprint store. It still took a very long time to get through all the red tape.
Since then, they've learned. I now have three other iPhones, which were easily and quickly activated. And it really doesn't matter where you buy your iPhone, the process is the same anyplace you buy your phone. It's just which store is convenient for you. I found the techs at Apple to be more informed about the phone, but techs at ATT more informed about the services. I prefer the Apple Store, actually, simply because I love to browse the store!
The last iPhone (3gs) I bought at the ATT store, because I needed to port over from Sprint as that last phone was out of contract (Yippee!) The process was painless.

Where to buy? BestBuy or Apple? Extended Warranty?

just curious what the forum thinks? the extended warranty at bestbuy is $40, at apple it is 60. hmmm... is it worth the extra 20 to buy at apple?

You should go with the best buy PRP(product replacement plan). Not apple's over priced care plan. If anything excluding theft or abuse happens to your nano you will get a new one free, including wear and tear and battery or memory issues. Thus the name replacement. Apple's care plan is also for two years but you have to ship it to them and you will be with out a nano for a while. Plus they may just send you a refurb. When best buy sends in an apple product for service it does not go to their service center, it goes to apple's service center therefore NOT voiding your warranty. But the nano does not have a PSP(Product service plan) it has a PRP. Even if it did void the warranty you wouldnt have to worry b/c you would be covered for 3 years under the PSP with best buy. But in the case of the Nano I would go to best buy and get the PRP for it. It is the best way to go. But you may want to go to an apple store for accessories, like cases they will have a better selection early on, but for most other accessories best buy will have better prices.

Apple In-Ear Headphones - Where to buy in person besides Apple Store?

Need sum help. Has anyone seen the new headphones in any retail stores besides the Apple Stores? I want to buy some in person and not over the internet. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

It might help if you mentioned where you live, unless you're prepared to travel world-wide to buy them in person.

Where To Buy My MacBook Pro-- Apple Store or Online?

Does it make a difference? There is an Apple Store just a 15 minute bus ride away from my apartment. Considering I'm goint to get apple care anyway, does it matter if I get it on line or at the store? Pros, cons? What say ye??

I thought the 7200rpm drive was custom. It is in my area. Stock is the 120GB 5400rpm drive and 1GB or RAM.
You may need to order it directly from Apple.
Whatever you do, do NOT buy from MacMall or some other 3rd party. They may be a little cheaper and have some incentives, but consider this:
I ordered my 17" MacBook Pro from them on 4/26/06. They didn't ship to me until 6/8/06! Meanwhile, Apple was shipping within 7 days since the beginning of May, and the Apple store had plenty of them available.
If you think that issue is resolved and MacMall has plenty of stock now so the wait is not that bad...wait, there's more...
I'm having issues with my system, and I called Apple. They told me I needed to get a new system because it's defective, but since I purchased it from MacMall I would need to call them about it. I did, and MacMall told me to call Apple back because they have a "no return policy" on Macs. What??? So I call Apple and they tell me they're sorry, but that I will need to send it in for repair.
I should have purchased it directly from Apple and paid the tax instead of paying for the Apple Care, which is not doing me any good now anyway.
So you have 2 options - go to the store and pick up whatever they can sell you, or order it directly from Apple where you can customize your order and get it within a week or two and actually benefit from Apple's support. From now on that's the only way I will ever go.

My iPhone Wifi is greyed out.
In Uruguay in Cellular Center (+598 2 903 3333) that is where I buyed it told me it has no solution, it´s a problem of hardware accepted by Apple, that Apple change the phone in this cases, but that they can´t change it by another new one because their warrantee is 3 months and I bought in december, 2012. It cost me US$ 1,250 and I want a solution because I saw in the Apple web that iPhone warrantee is 1 year and I am still covered by it.
I have the invoice dated December 24, 2012.
Do you have any solution to my problem?
It is hard to believe that a so expensive iPhone has a life of 6 months.
Do I need to take my iPhone to anywhere they can solve its problem?
Thank you so much.

The unlocked IPhone 4S models will not be available until November, Why is that? Why would Apple do that? I should be able to buy a factory unlocked Apple iPhone 4S when it comes out! Why is my interests being put last and Sprint, Verizon

The unlocked IPhone 4S models will not be available until November, Why is that? Why would Apple do that? I should be able to buy a factory unlocked Apple iPhone 4S when it comes out! I travel all over the world, and so that is why I need one like that. It is unfair to the consumer, and frankly turning away customers like myself willing to pay high dollar to Apple for their product, who can I speak with to complain about this, because I know their are factory unlocked iPhone 4S' sitting in a warehouse somewhere just waiting to be shipped, and I want one. I know why, cause Apple signed contracts with each carrier so the carrier could increase their sales making customers sign 2 year contracts, I get it, I own my own business, but the delay of releasing factory unlocked ones is just not right and I should be able to buy one without having to buy it over in the UK where it is unlocked when it comes out right away, I should be able to buy it in my own country! These business practices we practice in the US need to stop, their is a demand that needs to be met with consumers like myself who don't need subsidized iPhone's with 2 year contracts with carriers and don't mine paying full price for an unlocked one, it is unethical in a sense, forcing the customer to buy it with a carrier contract and NOT giving the customer the option to buy it full price and own it themselves, OR, making the consumer wait a month for that option to be available. THEY SHOULD BE RELEASED AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!! THAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!!!!!!
Apple can contact me and I will proudly pay for one. But making me wait a month for an unlocked one, puts AT&T, Sprint & Verizon's interests before mine, and that is not right, for it is MY money that keeps you guys in business, so my best interests should come first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand your frustration, but when any form of rationing is required you have to prioritise. The number of unlocked vs packaged phones will be quite small and the number of unlocked buyers wishing to upgrade immediately will be smaller still. Against this you have the corporations sharing $billions between them.
It would, you're correct, have been fairer to release all at the same time, but fairer doesn't come into it: it's business.

Don't buy a refurb from Apple!!

Not long after we got our dual G4 1.25Ghz, it started locking up and failing with kernel panics, although at the time, only once or twice within the 90 day warranty period (no reason to call tech support can be told to rebuild the desktop, or run limited analysis software). Over the past two years it has gotten progressively worse - now at 4-5 times a day at least. It recently crashed the system drive and corrupted it beyond repair. I replaced it and rebuilt the system from scratch. However, the lockups and kernel panics are back. I am positive now it is a bad logic board (since everything else has been replaced), and it was bad from the very start since the problem has always been the same, but increasing in frequency (probably the reason it went to refurb to begin with, but was not thoroughly tested and assumed to not be a problem, and resold even with faulty hardware). The problem I am convinced is USB specifically - we always had problems with USB Zip drives (slow read/write); and often locks up just typing email; recently ejecting a SanDisk USB flash drive locked up Finder.
There is no tie to any specific application - it has locked up sitting idle with no applications running. This occured with OS 10.x all the way up to 10.2.8 (current). We've tried new memory, swapping memory slots, now a new system drive with a completely rebuilt system - same problem.
Why didn't we call for support before now? Because we thought it was software, OS, or memory related, and a call to hear just that would be expensive, and useless. Time is the proof however, and the fact that it is a hardware error that alludes hardware system checks (which aren't very thorough to begin with), and has occured since we got it, leads us to place the blame with Apple's quality control and refub program. As a former development engineer, I have the knowledge and skills to determine this.
Don't buy a refurb from Apple - they aren't thoroughly tested and will leave you with an expensive boat anchor, or repair (e.g. replacement) bill. I know of other users with similar problems with refurbs, and the cost to repair is 1/3 the cost of new computer ($700 for the logic board for this machine, even at 2 years old) - probably a PC for us this time unless Apple is willing to admit their poor quality control and give us a serious deal on a Mac - i.e. replace this one. A comparable PC would be 3 times faster, and a new motherboard would cost me $150 or less to replace if necessary - we have four in our office suite and have never had the problems we've had with this Mac.
I know this will be an unpopular post, and probably deleted for censorship, but given that reaching Apple by phone is costly (i.e. I have to buy a service plan just to get them to fix their error), this is our only recourse - public awareness - here and on other professional product forums where the PC vs. Mac question arises daily. Sorry Apple, you've lost our company's business, but feel free to try and win it back with a very, very generous offer.
We've tried to make the system work since fixing it would be at our cost, even though it was Apple's fault for selling it as a "working" system. However, lockups are too frequent, and data loss is a significant risk. We have installed a data drive for all important data - only apps go on the system drive, just in case - we also backup to CD, but unfortunately the combo drive is also gone - won't write DVDs, and CDs are unreliable).
If this post gets deleted, we will know where Apple stands and will pursue other options to resolve Apple's poor service. It just goes to show that the larger the company, the less they care about customers, and the more poor products and service become measured in terms of acceptible loss, rather than quality performance.

You sound almost like a PC Troll, but just in case you are, in fact/reality a bonafide Mac user with some serious issues, I will try an attempt some directions to help you with your seriously ailing Mac.
One thing I would like to know is why you didn't purchase AppleCare on a Mac you know was a Refurb. Does Apple offer AppleCare for refurb Macs? Seems to me that purchasing extra warranty protection would be a "no-brainer". Why would you not do this, if available, is beyond me. But...
You also seem new/novice to Macs despite some of the things you mentioned that you attempted to replace or upgrade.
I am going on my own assumption that you do not have a problem at all with the logic board and that many of your Mac's ills and issues are other hardware, RAM, software and data/software corruption related.
OS X and your Mac need some periodic maintenance in order to run fairly worry-free. If disk utilities and maintenace routines aren't done say once or twice a month or so or do not get done at all, your Mac may start do lots of unexpected things
First thing I would do, if still possible ,is back up all of your important data to either CD/DVD or an external drive (preferrably a Firewire drive).
OS 10.0,x & 10.1.x were on some level "Beta" software releases that still had a lot of bugs and problems in the OS.
10.2.x thru 10.4.x are, for a large part been very stable.
Easiest and least expensive to replace first is your Mac's PRAM battery. This is a half-length size AA battery that stores basic parameters of your Mac's system. When the voltage drops in this battery over time, all sorts of funky things can happen with your Mac.
Next thing to replace is RAM. I know you've done this but newer Macs and, especially, OS X is very,very picky about the RAM that is installed.
Also, OS X needs 512 MB minimum for it to function adequately. 1.0 GB of RAM or more is really desirable for best OS X performance.
Bad or wrong spec RAM can also wreak havoc and cause constant system crashes and/or startup/shutdown issues and drive issues, as well
The specs for RAM on the G4 MDD are
PC2700 DDR SDRAM, 2.5v, unbufferred, non-parity, 184 pins.
Try purchase this RAM from this site
http://www.crucial.com
This is a reliable seller of memory for Macs.
While you purchase these, you really need to invest and purchase 3rd part disk diagnostic software to use other than Apple's own built-in Disk Utility software.
Recommended Mac Disk utilties are MicroMat's TechTool Pro 4.x and Alsoft Disk Warrior. As an optional utility to purchase, search for a additional disk maintenance utility such as MacJanitor, OnyX or Cocktail.
Not sure what to tell about your Combo Drive, though.
It could be on the "out"
If you are not adept at installing computer hardware, yourself, you could have an Apple Store or Authorised Apple reseller install a new Mac/OS X compatible (bootable) internal combo drive or upgrade to a Mac/OS X compatible (bootable)SuperDrive.
If you are fine with computer hardware installation, you can purchase a new internal drive yourself from this source
http://www.macsales.com/
You can also purchase an Mac/OS X compatible (bootable) external FireWire Super Drive from the above source and use this with your Mac instead of replacing and installing new internal.
You're are going to need a reliable drive to be able to re-install the OS and to re-install apps, so this seems to me to be a next priority to purchase.
Next disconnect all peripherals other than monitor,keyboard, mouse, and usable CD/DVD drive of choice. Also, shutdown Mac and remove any added USB/Firewire PCI cards.
(I know this throwing a lot more money at the problems you've been having, but I feel this way eveyone involved here with your issues will be working with a clean slate with known hardware that is known to work specifically with Macs.)
Restart the Mac.
We are going to erase and wipe your drive clean and reinstall the OS from scratch.
You mentioned you are on OS 10.2.x Jaguar.
Since we are essentially stating your Mac over from scratch, it's your option, but you have the option of purchasing a newer versions of OS X.
OS 10.3.x Panther is faster and more stable than 10.2.x Jaguar.
OS 10.4.x Tiger is even faster and stable.
This is entirely up to you.
Once all this preliminary stuff is in place, it's time to re-install the OS.
Insert your sofware restore CD/DVD or retail OS X disc into your internal or external drive. If using internal drive you can simply startup/restart from disc holding the "C" key at restart.
If using an external drive you can try same method or before you restart the Mac, again, from OS X start up disc prefences pane pick the external drive as your startup disc then restart.
The Mac should start from disc and now proceed with following instructions for re-install of OS X Jaguar.
Before you proceed with the actual install process, you can open disk Utility on the CD and decide if you would you to partition your drive. If you do not wish to partition you can continue with disk Utility's erase disk function. Once the drive is erased, quit DU and return to the OS X installer and the OS X install process.
Once sucessfully installed restart the Mac, remove the install CD/DVD once able to open thr drive during restart (so as to let the internal drive boot up OS X).
Once at the Finder, launch Apple's Disk Uitlity from the Applications/utilities folder and do a repair permissions on the drive/volume
Once permissions have been repaired, run the OS 10.2.x combo updater to update your Mac to the last/latest version of the particular flavor of OS X you are using.
If the combo update was succesful, re-launch Disk Uitlity and repair permissions on the boot volume, again.
If you purchased TechTool Pro, you'll need to get this CD out, restart from the TechTool CD by restarting the Mac by holding down the "C" key or pick the TechTool Pro CD as the new Startup Disk.
Run its volume structure/directory repair and optimization routines as well as its disk optimization routines.
I am not going to spell out how to do this, follow the instruction supplied in TechTool Pro's printed manual or help menu.
Once the OS X boot drive/volume has been repaired and optimized, restart the Mac and have it start from the internal drives OS X boot volume.
Once booted to the OS X system on the internal drive, again, launch Disk Utility and repair permissions on the main OS X system boot volume.
Then proceed with re-installing all of your third party apps.
Any apps that required an installer program to install need to be re-installed in this fashion. After installing an app, repair permissions in Disk Utility each time.
Apps that were installed from disc by simply dragging a folder from the disc to the OS X applications folder can be done the same way. You do not have to repair permissions when installing these kind of apps only ones that use an installer program to install the app becuase the installer installs additional code/software, kernel extensions, whatever into the main OS X boot volume of OS X system folder. This does not happen with "self- contained" folder apps.
Only install between 6-8 apps at a time, using TechTool Pro's disk repair/optimization routines in-between.
Once your Mac is back in good working order, you can try reinstalling (one at a time) any PCI cards and devices previously installed.
(Optionall proceedure and additonal software needed-Once OS X has been sucessfully installed on the internal drive, if you have or purchase an external OS X bootable FireWire drive you can use a 3rd party system copying app called Carbon Copy Cloner to clone an exact duplicate of your internal OS X system to your external firewire drive. If possible do this once you have completed the last run of TechTool Pro's disk utilities.
Follow Carbon Copy Cloner's instructions to clone an exact copy of the OS X system and apps to the external FW drive.
You need to use an external Bootable FireWire drive. USB external drives are not bootable on Macs and OS X.)
You need to run TechTool Pro anywhere from once or twice a month to once a week depending on how much your Mac gets used.
Periodic Mac maintenance is key to keeping a Mac healthy and functioning normally.
If you experience any crashing or lockups where you need to restart the Mac, once the Mac has restarted into OS X you need to Launch the Apple Disk Utility and repair permissions on the OS X boot volume.
Need to do this every time you experience a freeze or crash.
Please note any USB/Firewire devices installed on a PCI card may not let your Mac deep sleep anymore. You can test devices to see which ones can stay connected and your Mac sleeps. The devices that prevent this from happening you need to disconnect before allowing your Mac to sleep or you simply disable system sleep. You can kepp your Mac from sleeping, but let the display sleep only and have the hard drives spin down when not in use.
This is a long time known issue and there is no other fix for this.
As Far as reponse time of USB devices, the G4 MDD uses USB 1.0 and is slow as molasses for data swapping. If your ZIP and flash drives are USB 2.0, the data is only going to flow in at USB 1.0 speeds.
Again, you may need to purchase and install a PCI card USB 2.0 card or a PCI USB 2.0/Firewire Combo card to have your data move to these devices at a fatser rate.
Follow the manufacturer's instruaction for installing the hardware and software.
These can be purchased from a local Mac reseller or from the site I have given above.
Hope I covered everyhing

Where to buy ATI Radeon HD 4870?

I have just bought a refurb MacPro 8 core (blimey) but want to put the ATI Radeon™ HD 4870 card in it sooner or later, but when I google it there seem to be so many different versions of this. e.g. a 'sonic version' etc, and so on, and they all look different in the pictures so Im really confused as to which one to get.
Can someone please advise me which is the right one and even suggest where to buy?
thanks:)

You mean Apple are the only suppliers of the one that works with OSX?
Yes, unless you can find another supplier that says their card will work properly with OSX in a Mac Pro.

What video format (including embedded audio) is able to be viewed and heard by both OSX Lion users and Windows users?
You have to make a distinction between the container format (eg, AVI, MKV) and the video/audio format (eg, DIVX). For instance, without additional software, QuickTime can play .avi files with the IndeoVideo codec, but not .avi file with the DivX codec). Further, you have to make the distinction between what can be played using an independent player, eg, QuickTime Player, and what can be played within the presentation software (Keynote or PowerPoint).
You can refer to

for suggestions. In practice, for presentation clips, I think you're limited to MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. I don't know if an additional MPEG-2 QuickTime component is required under Lion, you'll have to check that yourself. So, in the end, it's MPEG-4. Both Keynote and PowerPoint Win/Mac should be able to handle it.
can anyone suggest a safe application that I can purchase from the apple app store that will allow me to convert video files
What's a 'safe application'? And why do you have to buy it from the App Store (yuck!)?
Handbrake, as mentioned by X423424X, is free and works very well. There are probably others, too.
this forum is the best place to learn
Perhaps, but it may not be the place to get answers to this question. Try a PowerPoint Mac user forum, they would have more experience in these x-platform issues. This forum is oriented more towards the hardware side of the MBP platform.

They also have an eBay store. I checked out all the possibilities, including the one you were just given, and cwi was the best price-wise. For what I needed, same seller, the direct one linked above was less expensive than their eBay store.

Where to buy a macbook pro?

I will be buying a macbook pro very soon( cant wait anymore).So where do you think i should buy it from apple walk in store or a compusa store?.I dont know which of this stores get the latest week macbook pros.
Any ideas guys?
cheers

Well, I am afraid no one really will know the answer to your question, so your best bet is to look at the serial number on the box before you make your purchase (explanation below). From what I can tell from these boards, week 12 MBPs seem to be fairly trouble free, and for the most part whine free.
Now I wouldn't be surprised if they get a little ticked at you if they bring up a MacBook to the checkout counter, only to have you inspect the box and then tell them you don't want to buy it after all... but it is a lot of money so I'd say your within your rights.
Anyway, I would hurry down to the Apple SOHO store (prince and green). They had them in stock last weekend. Assuming your going with the full 2 GB of ram, you may have to pick up your machine with 1 GB and wait for the 2nd GB to arrive a few days later. But if you buy it at the Apple store you can just bring your MacBook back in when you go to pick up the extra ram and they will install it for you on the spot.
I'd get there as early as you can tomorrow (saturday), before the weekend crush. And I would highly recommend the 2GB of ram since your going to be running a lot of Apps through Roseta for awhile. I actually think having 2gb of ram is more important than processor speed.
And as far as CompUSA is concerned, I wouldn't bother (the customer service is sooo bad in manhatten CompUSAs). I guess if the Apple store doesn't have a MacBook that is week 12 or later, you could go check CompUSA, but either way, you are going to have to manually inspect the serial number to know which week it is. I doubt anyone on these boards has information on which production week stores are receiving.
OK so regarding the serial number, it is actually really easy to tell which week your mac was made in. Here is how it works.
The first part of the serial number tells you which factory the Mac was made in. I believe all MacBooks are being made in Shanghai so it should start with"W8". The full list of factory codes can be found here:
http://www.tuaw.com/2005/04/14/when-was-your-mac-born/
The next number is the last digit of the year it was made (which should be 6 since they were all made in 2006). So basically all MacBooks made so far should all have serail numbers that start with "W86"
The next 2 number are the production week!
So to sum it all up, look for a serial number that starts with:
W8612....
or higher (like W8613...)
You know, it occurs to me that if you go to the Apple store, and you are really really nice, you might even be able to talk your sales rep into inspecting the serial number for you when he goes to pick up your machine. Its should be easy enough to explain, since they all start with W86, and I think they get some sort of commission or are somehow rewarded for sales, so he should be motivated to help you.
And if you want to double check what I have said, grab a spare mac at the apple store and manually type in the serial number into this site which will also tell you the production week:

good luck

Where to buy iPod???

I am getting ready to buy a 5.5 gen. 30gb iPod and I was wondering where's the better place to buy one at...at an Apple Store or a place like Best Buy in regards to who is better at fixing/replace broken iPod? Or are they the same???
Windows XP

You can always take it to an Apple store no matter where you buy it.
Best Buy simply tries to Restore them and if that doesn't fix them, they send them to Apple.

Where to buy - AT&T or Apple
