Apple's policy on iMac replacement

Hello forum.

I own an iMac 27 inch screen retina since January 2016 5 k

and the first week I've known Kernel Panic black screens, reboots and a lot of application and connect to the screen freezes.

Communicating with the Apple Support line, I was advised to submit the iMac to apple for testing service, so they can find the origin of this rare and serious problem.

I left my iMac on the apple store service and a week later (coincided Easter holiday) I was told to pick it up with no material error or other bad outcome.

According to the apple service, the machine had no hardware problem, and the question was supposed to be in the software.

You may say so far so good!

BUT once I've picked up and turned on, the hard drive of merger was defective! I could no longer load El Capitan because the fusion drive did not work!

Reboot into recovery (command-R) mode and first aid running for the fuser unit, the process failed since the hard disk has been corrupted.

So im guessing apple service damaged the fusion drive.

Contact the Apple support by e-mail, I was informed once more to send the iMac for service because there was nothing else I could do.

And so I did, but in a different city many many many kilometres since I lost confidence in the first service from apple.

IM waiting for them to aknowledge the defection as...

BUT that was the origin of their error and I DON'T want to receive an iMac repaired by a problem caused by apple service.

I would have preferred an iMac new replacement.

What is apple's policy for replacements of the imac for my case since I bought the iMac in Germany and Iam in Greece now?

According to Reseller premium Apple in Greece, it is not possible to replace, defective by them, iMac and honestly im considering to take the legal measures to any possible direction and level if I will be a repaired iMac which he did not work well on the first day and I had to waste money and working time return trip for a problem that they caused.

I have all the official documents service and the evidence in support of my case but I think professionalism of Apple and this thing won't go that far.

Forward to your response

Thank you

  • What is the life expectancy of the battery in the pen of Apple? Can it be replaced or do I need to buy another pen?

    What is the life expectancy of the Apple pencil? The battery can be replaced or do I need to buy a new stylus?

    According to iFixit (of https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Apple+Pencil+Teardown/52955 )

    • The pencil is clearly not intended to be opened or repaired; You can't get inside without destroying the device.
    • The layers of plastic and metal holding the interior components are impossible to remove without grinding.
    • The battery enough for a 12 hour race, is impossible to replace, which gives the device a limited life expectancy.

    < personal information under the direction of the host >

    In general the replacements are not new.  They can be given to nine units, which are like new, maybe better.

    Apple has no obligation to provide a new iPhone in replacement under warranty or out of warranty replacement.

  • Change the APPLE ID in my iMac

    If the previous user did not find my active Mac, you can use your own code to Apple. Of course when you sign with your own Apple ID in iTunes/AppStore/iCloud all info, settings, apps, etc. will be attached to your account.

    Also make sure you have access as a user (user and groups in system preferences) as an administrator.

    Check and if everything is ok your iMac will not be closed to key.

  • Apple TV streaming to iMac

    Hello

    Supposedly it is possible for the content to iTunes on a Mac, an Apple TV, when they are in the same network.  I did pretty well with my Apple TV 2nd generation.  However, when I bought the 3rd generation Apple TV, it does not any computer on the network.  I use an iMac running El Capitan, and the LAN is supported with three routers Apple.  The Apple TV is connected via WiFi.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    Sergio.

    Confirm her you enabled home sharing in iTunes.

    You may have to restart your equipment, too.

  • Apple ID policy

    I have a problem which is that I had my stolen email address.  It is used to create Facebook accounts and join other sites in Africa.  I thought that a simple solution to this problem would be to change my email address.  Apple has restrictions on ending in me.com, e-mail addresses if they are used as an Apple ID.  The only way to get rid of the email address is to close my iCloud account.  What this means is that I lose all my music, books and apps that I bought at Apple!  The other solution, they gave me was to create a Gmail account and use my gmail account.  I was shocked that Apple was telling me to go to Google for a solution.  Once I have my gmail account, then I could use my email to Apple as my Apple ID, but not as my email address.   This solution is like hiding my head in the sand.  My email address that has been compromised is still there, but I'm pretending that it isn't?

    I am also very disappointed that Apple is emphasizing the use of an e-mail address simple as main identifier (which can never be changed) given all his claims to take care to protect the safety and privacy of customers.  There must be a way to create an identifier secured without using an email address which is very public and easily hacked.

    If someone has created a safer work around this problem or has identity stolen and so needed to change things like e-mail addresses and Apple ID, I'd love to hear how you managed to solve your problem.

    Thank you very much.

    Just for my understanding, you say that there is another person who uses your Apple ID email address?

  • I recently had the hard drive on my iMac replaced

    Now, when I try to access Lightroom 6.0, I find that I am in the 30 day trial period.  When I enter my product code, it does not.  I checked the code online on Adobe.com in my personal information.  Everything was going fine until I had the hard drive replaced.  Is it that's going to stop?

    I'll let Hosts.old as it is for now - unless I should remove or restore.

  • Don't replace the hard drive of an iMac by a certified Apple store Sub Apple Care warranty service?

    I have the chance to get an opportunity for a very good price iMac. The only thing that I don't like the comments, is that he got a Fusion drive I want to get replaced for one SSD with a 3rd-party service certified Apple store. The iMac keeps the Apple Care warranty until 2018.

    Would be replacing cancels Apple Care?

    If the FSAA improved to an SSD, the guarantee that they should remain in force. However, the SSD is not covered as which was not part of the original equipment when the computer was made. I STRONGLY recommend that you read the warranty and AppleCare agreement. We are all of the users like you, so we cannot talk about Apple. Remember it is their guarantee that they have the final call.
