Fuck Apple

[ghostsofgiants]

To get technical assistance by phone, call 1-800-263-3394. If your product is within its 90-day complimentary support period or covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, you will not have to pay for the call. Otherwise, you may purchase per-incident support for $59.

And of course there seems to be no way to contact the bastards via email. My time zone is not represented at all on my iPod and I want something done about it. Anyone know how I can get through to them to complain (and subsequently have said complaint ignored)?

3. Is there an Apple Store near you? Go there to the "Genius Bar." Otherwise

try one of the many iPod help web sites

[ghostsofgiants]

4. Nope, nowhere near an Apple Store.

Any particular sites you recommend?

6. Hahaha...

Doesn't get my time zone on my iPod, but it made me laugh.

I was actually expeting it to be the video whee a guy goes to the Apple Store, buys an ipod, then smashes it in the store, just for the sake of smashing it.

7. Still looking for an answer.

8. don't they graft an apple store onto you when you buy one?

(sorry)

good luck. I have no idea. Nice of me to drop in for my minor witticism, wasn't it? ;)

on edit, there was a high school kid around here who was fixing em by mail and making a pile doing it. I'll see if I can find the info.... assuming you could live without it for that long!

9. Solution

Call them up anyway, when they ask about the 90 days say it's irrelevant since you live in a land where time doesn't exist.

10. Phew. For a minute there...

I thought you were really pissed off at little Apple Martin.

11. Try their discussion forums. Free of charge, and very helpful!

Lots of very smart people who are more than happy to help.

12. It's not Apple's fault you live in bizarro time land.

:P

[hfojvt]

13. that is one funky time zone

UTC - 3.5.
Might mean more if I knew what UTC was, but it still sounds like the new land that time forgot.
Why does a time zone need to be on an iPod?

And, why didn't you figure out that it wasn't in the first 90 days?

:hide:

14. UTC is the same as GMT

Why we needed a new name for it is beyond me :shrug:

[ghostsofgiants]

15. Haha, I'm an idiot...

It is within the first 90 days. I completely misread that part as "within the first 90 days of an AppleCare Protection Plan."

iPods have a clock program, so it'd be nice to be able to use the clock.

But nevertheless, fuck Apple for making shit hard after the 90 day period.

17. Or you could start a trend of showing up to parties really really early

:D

[ghostsofgiants]

19. I once misread the due date on a paper for school...

Went to pass it in, and my professor gave me a really odd look and said "You realize you have a month left to work on this, right?"

I need to pay more attention to these things.

[hfojvt]

18. so I did help after all

:woohoo: :woohoo:

Send your gifts of appreciation to me, Al Hfojvt Minneapolis, Mn 50005. That's all the address you need. (except I got the ZIP wrong.)
