So a few months back my old mac mini decided to crap out on me and I was computer-less for those few months. Since my money situation isnt too good right now (unemployed, live at my grandmas and my dad supports me. Im 21 btw) I didnt bother getting it fixed until recently. Keep in mind the computer is out of warranty and I dont have Apple Care. So I eventually took it to the apple store and they said the logic board was fried and possibly the ram. They quoted me at $317 for a new logic board. I told them I'll give it a wait because I cant afford it. So a few weeks later I decide to go back and ask if I can get it done for a cheaper price. They told me they can do it for $217 with just the logic board replaced and if it needs ram they will tell me. They end up calling me telling me to pic it up and that the price is $377. I told them no, they told me they'll do it for 217. She tells me they had to replace the ram as well and thats why the price was higher. So I told her that as long as the computer still works with the old ram just put back the old ram and Ill pay the $217....
So I get a call back today saying I can pick it up. I ask them just to make sure how much the price was. She says no charge. So im of course confused and ask to speak to the person who repaired it. She tells me that since mac mini's are hard to open and shouldnt be opened a bunch of times that they just left it with the new logic board and ram and decided to do it for free given the small hassle I had with them. I couldnt believe it! It was a $377 dollar job and they just let it slide.
My Macbook Pro CD drive is not functioning properly. What do I bring when I go to drop it off at the Apple Store to get fixed. Also, how long would you estimate this fix to take? If it cannot be repaired would Apple replace the computer? I have had this computer for under a year and I have purchased the Apple Protection Plan.
I tried to install a free application from the apple store, I was asked to enter the billing information even if free, gave all the details, chose visa as method of payment but I had a note saying that my method of payment is invalid. Why?
I know they were giving free upgrades to Lion on refurbished units purchased from apple. I just bought a mac mini with snow leopard and see no mention of a free upgrade.
I sent an email to Steve Jobs about my yellow tint 21.5 iMac issues (three exchanges, all affected, resulting in a refund). I got a call from Dena at Executive Care within 24 hours.
She said they are aware of the problem and do not know how widespread it is. According to Dena, the issue is not resolved and that ordering a new iMac will not result in a fixed display.
She said the engineers are working on it now and they are not sure if it's hardware (most likely) or software related. Further Apple stores cannot do repairs because they haven't determined what the issue is.
I reside in Spain and I've recently opened a joint account with a US resident here in Los Angeles at Charles Schwab bank.The financial consultant told us it's possible to deposit checks into schwab account through an app for iphone [URL]I've tried to download but it appears the following window: "your application has not been able to complete" and "The article you requested is not available at this time in Spanish Store, but is available in the U.S. Store. Click Change Store to view this article". If I click to change the Store from the Spanish to the American store, I have to fill the data but my ID apple is not working on the "foreign" store. What can I do? Is there a way to buy / download items from a different Itunes stores?Â
All of a sudden a notification badge has appeared on the Apple Store icon on my MacBook Pro dock. While it seems there is an update for an app that I once downloaded, there is no indication as to how I can download the update.
I just bought a macbook pro yesterday and conected my apple ID that I created for my iphone. I was able to input iTunes gift card and use the balance fine but today sudnly I canoot download anything even free apps and I still have 15$ in my account left from the 25$ gift card. Every time I try to install a free or non free it goes to my billing page and ask me to input a credit card, if I select non and done it gives me an error to contact suport.
I'm able to make a free account on mac app store. There only three option comes under payment method that is VISA MASTER CARD & AMEX. nothing like free option.
I want to be able to check the downloads that I put on iPad if they were free or paid for when I first downloaded them. It is another way of checking if my 8-year-old son had downloaded apps that were not free!Â
I have a new iphone, but have never purchased anything from itunes. The phone won't let me download a FREE app because I haven't purchased anything before.
I just bought a $10 iTunes card and I want to by iMovie from the Mac App Store. (which brings my balance to $16.48) My problem is whenever I try to buy this product I'm sent to the billing page. I don't have a credit card so I select "none" and try to purchase iMovie again. But it just sends me back to the billing page. I don't want to buy another card in order to redeem something on the billing page so what do I do?

i just wanted to simply get the updated free Facebook App on my ipod, i dont have a credit card so it wont let me review my apple ID...is there anything else i can do?
How do I get Apple to return the paid version of a certain app back to the App store? The free limited version is still available but the paid version with more features has been removed. I know people who want to get this app and cannot. It is Word Play Online and has a very loyal following with over 50,000 names playing and yet is gone from the App Store. How can I find out where it went?
i cant creat an account and just use it to download free apps or wat?? do i have to give the credit card number because i dont want to give my credit card number.
I want to upload a free application on the App Store, and you ask me credit card number, even if the product is free. I don't have credit card, and I would like to know if I can do without this. Could you explain me why you need credit card number for a free application?
When I switched to ICloud I thought my Apple ID and password would work for Apple store. It turns out they have a different Apple ID at the Apple store with a diferent password that I do not remember. HOw can I make the ICloud Apple ID and password work for all other platforms?

I am sure this has been brought up before but I couldn't find it in searches. Why does apple require a credit card with all the info, including my birth date, for FREE UPDATES?I find it very inconvenient when I am asked for payment info for something free. I would hate to click the wrong button and find a $xxx charge that I didn't want.
Need help with free apps, that you cant download without money on your credit card, mine is a debit card, and the only time I can download fee apps is when I have money on my card, so these aren't free, so help me here, tired of trying to download free apps, also got an iTunes gift card, and what are they actually used for?
Why? Also free apps are not downloadable while all other options on the info pages works? If I remember well, while opening my apple ID i made some settings? Unfortunately I can't find it back and do not know how to change it.Â
Who agrees since they're not or probably will never update the mac mini again they should at least update it with the 'addons' (more like essentials) for free?
I hate how they nickel and dime you with the ram and hd (because they know most people will opt for the upgrades). It's pretty standard for that price now to have at least 2GB of memory!
Either way I'd like to get one not really for real use (with it's current specs) but more like a novelty item...
