Why are the Apple stores sold out now???

All but two are out of phones. Has anyone heard the ETA on new phones?

Well some people who ordered online have just received shipping confirmation that their order is coming from China... So i'd suspect that Apple stores should be getting new shipments soon too.

Are the apple stores really open on Easter?

Are the apple stores really open on Easter?
On the store web page it says:
April 04, 2010:
10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Apple is not giving their employees Easter off?

What's a day off? People get those?
Some Apple Retail Stores are open, some are closed. For example:

I recommend checking http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/ for Easter hours before heading to a particular store.

Why does the Apple store carry iKlear cleaning solution in stores?

I noticed that the manual with my MacBook Pro just recommends dampening the cloth with water in order to clean the screen. Then why does the Apple store and website promote iKlear cleaning solution for the screen (rhetorical question) ? Is this product safe or not for cleaning the screen? Thanks.

They carry it because they're a store, and like any store, anything that boost the margins is great to have on the shelf. It's the same reason any store sells really expensive accessories.
I've always used water as the manual recommends. But iKlear is safe and I'm not necessarily against it. It may be good for unusual or stubborn stains that water can't dissolve. But for everyday cleaning, the question is whether you would prefer to clean your screen for free, or by paying for an expensive chemical.
I've never bought a screen protector for my iPhone either, and it's been totally fine.

Why is the Apple Store app only available to US residents only?

I live in Canada, why is the Apple Store app only available to US residents only?

Because this is what Apple decided to do.
We have no way of knowing why Apple makes the decisions that they do and speculating is a violation of the terms of use of this forum.

What sort of phone are the Apple Store replacement phones?

When I originally got my iPhone 4 a few years ago, I had a pixel die on two, and I took them to the Apple Store; they replaced them (for free) with phones that were wrapped in the plastic protectors, but in a box wholly different from the actual iPhone 4 box. Maybe it was my imagination, but both my replacement phones seemed... loose or rattle-ey, if you will, though they worked just fine and looked new, nevertheless. Anyway, jumpy to today: I got my iPhone 6 in the mail but it had a scratch on the screen. I took it to the Apple Store and they replaced it, yet again, with a phone in the normal plastic protective sleeve and in a box not like the one the phone comes in. Maybe I'm crazy, but this one rattles too. I can't put my hand on it, but the replacement phone's feel different than the phones that came right out of a factory sealed box.
Does anyone know where the replacement phones come from? Are they refurbished phones? Or are they separately shipped new phones held in-stock just for replacements? I'm curious to know.

Oh yeah, I know. When I bought my MacBook it was a refurbished from the site, and it was absolutely perfect---same as my Apple TV... it came flawless... looked new! But every "replacement" phone I've gotten from an Apple Store, rattles and seems... "rebuilt", if you will. I realize a refurbished is rebuilt, but this phone doesn't have the feel or quality of a real new phone. It's not solid. It feels like something someone lazily repaired it at another tech store. I guess I'll go back up there tomorrow...

Why are the emails I sent out being held in my outbox, and how do I resend them

why are the emails that I have sent out not going to the recepiants but instead being held in my outbox, and how do I resend them?

This problem is generally caused by not having a connection to the ISP mail sender (send and receive authenticate and operate independently).

Why is the Apple Store App not optimized for iPhone 5?

You would think that the Apple Store app would be optimized for iPhone 5 4inch screen? Isn't this an APPLE PRODUCT. Come on let's get an update!!

You're not addressing Apple here, and any attempt to do so makes you look foolish. We're users here, just like you.

Why is the Apple Store so difficult to navigate?

As a very enthusiastic advocate for Apple, I am surprised at just how difficult it is to navigate and use iTunes and the iTunes store. It seems that moving it to a web site based operation would make far mor sense. My question today is inspired by the realization that for the 4th or 5th time over several months, I gave up on finding and buying a movie I wanted. It is clear that if someone that is very driven to buy in iTunes becomes frustrated, I can only imagine how many others leave in frustration.
What am I missing?
Thanks

More specifically, I really miss the ability to open links in tabs and avoid the need to go forward and back as I investigate. Yes it may be a web site, however it does leave out much of the functionality of an average browser. It is also not very clear how to browse for material. I did just learn that hovering over a content section at top reveals a drop down list, which is a little better.
My theory is that the iTunes store design is along the lines of airline or travel sites that are designed to get you to invest time enough clicking and waiting. Enough that you will be just frustrated enough so not to want to loose the effort you have invested to find what you want. But not so frustrated that you click goodbye.
I am really looking for what others think.

Are the Apple Stores open to haggling?

I wish there was a more general area in which I could ask this, but I'm planning to buy a new iMac, so this is the best I could find. Please redirect me to a more appropriate discussion area if you can find one though.
I never pay full price for anything if I buy it from a real store, as you can always negotiate between 10% and 20% (sometimes more) off a retail price if you're nice enough to the salesperson. However, I've bought all my Apple Macs through the online store so far, so I've been paying full price for each one.
However, there are one or two companies that just won't enter into this kind of negotiation, often having a policy that prevents their staff from discounting products at their discretion.
I was wondering what the position is with Apple Stores (i.e. the official ones) and whether any of you have ever managed to get a better deal than the retail price? I'm particularly interested in hearing from anyone in the UK who's managed to do this and what kind of deal they got.

I've always been able to haggle small discounts on hardware prices at
Apple-owned retail stores in the USA. It appears that store managers
are authorized to apply "educational pricing" to any hardware sale --
if you just say "please." These discounts are typically in the 5% to 10%
range, depending on product. US educational pricing can be found at:

ARE THE IPHONE 4 SOLD OUT!??

i want to buy one but some people told me it is sold out and other that it doesn't

In this age of computers some one should be able tell this man where to buy one in stock.
Can we all agree on that?

We have two computers, one solely to be used by my wife. Until now she has used my appleid to buy stuff from the Apple Store but has now bought her own iPad. we are finding it very difficult to remove me from her computer.

Until recently our household comprised two computers but only one iPad (mine) and we could buy from the store on either computer because both computers identified with my apple ID. My wife has now bought her own iPad and created her own apple ID and wants to be able to purchase apps etc on her own accout from iTunes in her computer. We are finding it impossible to take my apple ID off her computer to enable her to buy on her own account because we keep getting a message that only my ID isaccepted. HELP would be apprecaited. Thank you

Mr. Wiclee - thanks for the link.
When I said I had not "installed" iTunes on my iPad, I suppose I meant I have not yet signed in to iTunes, ever. I suppose when I sign in to iTunes the first time on my new iPad, I will be required to create a new iTunes account? Then refer to such new iTunes account when I launch iTunes for the first time on my PC as myself? Or will I still need to use Method Three in your link?
The crucial thing is this - when I turn on iTunes on the PC for the first time with me as User, I do NOT want it to connect to my wife's iTunes account. On my PC, I would want iTunes to ask me who I am, so I can then sign in with my new iTunes account that I had just created on my iPad. How can I be sure to accomplish this goal?
In my PC, if I look at Documents and Settings and compare the two folders for we two different users, one for me and one for my wife, I can see that my wife's has Application Data and Local Settings for her various Apple programs. However, so do I in my User even though I have not yet installed any Apple programs on my side. I am concerned that when I finall launch iTunes when I am user, it will open up in my wife's iTunes account, which I truly want to avoid.
Thanks. Please advise.

I took a download to the Apple Store App and now it only displays portrait. Why?

Help Mr. Wizard!

Double click your home button, then swipe the bottom bar to the right. Likely you will the the lower right orientation button with a lock on it. Click on it and you should then be able to change the orientation of the screen.
If for some reason you have mapped the orientation to the hardware button just slide the mute/orientation button on the side of the iPad.

Why are the 3 maints done twice now? Tiger 10.4.11 bug?

I've noticed that recently in Tiger 10.4.11 the daily, weekly and monthly tasks are done twice * in the same job*. Can some of you check your Console Logs and see if you are seeing something similar to below? Makes no sense. I wonder if this is a bug in the latest update to Tiger since it didn't used to do this (but I'm not sure from when.) I'm curious. Is there any way to track down why this is happening. Where ARE these scripts hidden?
Thanks,
Al

Don't get excited – I don't have an answer, I'm just posting to tell you that you are not alone. I only have this 'doubling' with periodic daily. I cannot be sure when it started, but I think probably in one of the early iterations of Tiger. I spent much time and effort back then trying to track down the reason but failed. The doubling is sporadic, showing a double entry in daily.out on some days, not on others, with no discernible pattern, rhyme or reason that I could fathom. When there is just one entry the date stamp is spot on; when there are two entries the first is always 6 or 7 seconds before the appointed time, the second spot on. An example (my 'daily' is set for 5:05 am)…

My current suspicion/guess… I do re-boot to move from one volume to another on some days and not on others. It is well known that launchd has never quite got it right concerning the running of periodic tasks following computer sleep. I never sleep my Mac, but I wonder if what you and I are noticing is a related 'glitch' with launchd's timings. I realise that I should have kept notes of when I re-booted but at those times I have been too involved with what I was doing to remember! Does this possibly give you a clue? If I am right then the 'glitch' is hidden in the inner workings of launchd's mathematics and that would explain why we have not been able to find a 'culprit'.
It would be good if you could do what I should have done ( ) – keep an eye on re-boots. I would feel happier to know that the glitch was down to Apple and launchd and not due to anything 'wrong' at my end. I expect you would feel the same.
PS "An early iteration of Tiger" would fit in with the switch from cron to launchd.

Why are the Apple mods deleting and locking threads?

I would like an answer as to why the mods are deleting and locking threads that have to do with the error that pervasive in the iPod 1.1 upgrade. It seems that Apple will not acknowledge it but some of us are trying to find an answer and Apple locks the thread and deletes another one. As paying customers, Apple should realize that it is us who keeps the lights on in Cupertino. I think a bit more respect to the paying customer is in order here.
