Will Apple Store Swap Old Model For New Model?
I have a question. Suppose you bought a brand new MacBook Pro within the last 2 weeks from an Apple Store, and new models come out, say, this week. If you took your brand new MacBook Pro back to the Apple Store, would they exchange it for free for one of the new models?
If that is indeed the case, what's the date range? Within the last 2 weeks from the date the new models come out, or perhaps even the last month?
I believe there is a 2 week grace period. There might be a restocking fee involved. Why not ask at an Apple store?

I just swapped out old modem for new model. Airport flashing amber. Wi-Fi connection good but airport not responding. Do I need to configure a new network connection? Change anything in airport utility?
Welcome to the forum!
I'm a big fan of resetting in situations like this. Who knows what boxes you've ticked where...
Use the hard reset button with a paper clip on your Airport express. Hold it til the light starts blinking, then let it reset.
While it's resetting, go into your Network prefs and make sure you're set up to connect via Airport. Delete any references to your prior wireless network in the preferred networks section. Go into your keychain utility and delete any passwords there. (this is assuming you were using some form of wireless security).
After your AE has restarted, choose it from the Airport pull-down menu and run the Airport Setup Assistant utility. Once you've got it up and running, use Airport Admin utility to set security and passwords.
Seems drastic, but after all the poking around you've done, these steps should be pretty simple to perform. I'm guessing your original "Looking for PPPoE host" was a temporary problem with your IP. Maybe the ethernet cable was unplugged from AE?
Good luck -
I have an iPad 1 and would like to buy the new iPad. Will Apple exchange my old iPad for the new one . I live in Saudi Arabia.
Apple does not take trade-ins. You'll have to look for a dealer that does, though you'll probably get more for the iPad 1 if you sell it yourself.

Will apple store transfer my music to new iphone for me
will the apple store transfer my music to new iphone for me?
Do this:
Create a separate user account for you. Launch iTunes, then Store>Authorize this Computer. Then:
By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are using a new computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in itunes(under the edit menu if using Windows).
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Outlook, Windows Address Book) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
You should be good to go. -
Bad screen. Will Apple Store swap my hard drive into new machine?
I got my Macbook Pro 15" a week ago. Within a couple of days it developed a prominent green vertical line near the center of the screen, top to bottom. I have a meeting with a genius tonight. I assume they'll give my a whole new laptop. Can they swap out my existing hard drive to the new laptop? It's not that I have a ton of user data, it's more that I have installed boot camp and Windows 7 on the other partition and it would be pain to backup both partitions before this meeting.
So I took it to the Apple store tonight and they're going to replace the screen. They didn't have one in stock so they'll order that and it will probably arrive mid-week. Then I'll bring it back in, leave it overnight then come back again the next day. Three visits for a broken screen on a week-old laptop! I'm not too happy about that but at least I get to keep my HD.

Apple Store Shipping "Old" ATV or "New" ATV
Just hoping someone knows whether the Apple Store Website is shipping the newest version of Apple TV (Take 2) or are they still shipping the older version. I'm hoping that the Apple Store IS shipping a version that you do not have to perform the software update.
Can anybody shed in light on this? The Apple web site is kinda vague. One page says "with free software update" you can rent movies - yet at another location on the web page is says "now" able to rent movies. I certainly know that you can with the update, I'm trying to determine if a new ATV from the Apple Store (web site, that is) will REQUIRE you to update.I'm the OP on this thread and I said I would report whether or not Apple shipped the Take 2. I ordered on Feb. 14 and received the Take 2.
I LOVE IT. This is the coolest Apple thing I've bought. The way in which it handles photos and music would make it worth it alone. However, I ordered a High Def. download movie (Hairspray) and the quality in video and audio was excellent. I would judge the HD to be somewhere significantly better than DVD but falling slightly short of 1080i I receive from Comcast. But, it is REAL good!
I don't understand the streaming versus copying protocols the device uses and there isn't much control over how it gets content to your TV and stereo, but somehow it does it and it's there, so who cares. I'm using it wirelessly and it hasn't jittered or stalled a single time. The HD movie download was ready to view in roughly 15 seconds!
I could not be happier. This is a very, very, very cool device. -
Will apple store transfer files from old macbook to new?
will apple store transfer files from old mackbook to new
If you mean that you are going to an Apple Store to buy a new Mac, and you want to know if they will transfer your data for you then the answer is "maybe." Many stores will do that for you, but some may not. Good idea to ask first.

I'm having a brand new unopened Apple 5W USB adapter from UK for my iphone 5. I want an Indian version USB adapter. Will Apple Store replace my USB adapter for free of cost ?
Perhaps, but maybe not, as what can they do with one with the UK plugs? I'm just saying regional things like that often have to be returned at a store in the country you bought them.
But, just go and ask as the worse they can say is no. If they do say no they cannot exchange it, then for very little money you can buy a UK-to-India plug adapter and use that charger in India anyway. Such plug adapters are only $2-$5 here in the USA on Amazon. -
Hi all - any idea how to download songs from an old AOL iTunes account - have updated to Apple ID which is fine for new songs but didn't realise this wouldn't include the old songs. Have a 1st gen ipod with the original purchases on if that helps
....... is there a way for me to get my old music library (which was controlled by my dad's apple ID) onto my new mac, but from that point on, start using my own apple ID for purchases?........
Yes, once the content is in iTunes on your computer, just click it to play and authorise your computer to play it by entering your Dad's ID and password.
Log into your own account and start purchasing your own content which will then be added to the existing content. -

I just dropped my new macbook pro on the ground, it dents a little. So can I bring it to apple store, and repair it for free? BTW: I bought it just one month ago. Thank you very much
No, user caused accidents are not warranty coverage, nor are spills, loss, theft etc.
all these user caused issues have no bearing on the warranty coverage.
they are outside of same.
All laptop mfg. are identical in this nature (same with your car too of course) -

if my iphone 5 has a problem within the first 30 days will apple replace it with a brand new one or will i get a refurbished model??
If it is replaced under warranty, it will be replaced with a unit from the "replacement stock", which either will be a refurb or new (no way to distinguish these) and the S/N will indicate a replacement unit.
The "30 day" rule varies from county to country, and applies only to returns, not replacement. -
