I just cancelled my 2016 and ordered a refurb 2015.
Got a tip for us?

hopefully mine is the same. stock 13 with touchbar. My order has made no progress since Friday after my cc was finally charged and going from processing to prepare for shipment. I just tried chatting with an apple rep and they told me, it should be delivered by Friday..
USB-A adapter didn't work for me.Oh my
jealous! I'm on Ethernet to wifi. 5hrs remaining at 20MB/s.
Would it be worth running out to get an adapter from USB-c to USB-a?
Okay what about connecting them by Ethernet cable. Rather than ethernet to wifi, as I have it now
What do you mean by this? I was intending to use the USB A port on the digital AV adapter to hook my time machine hard drive up to my new MacBook - will this not work?
Well, you'd need a USB-C to Ethernet adapter. But yes, that would work, and would be faster than wi-fi.
This is an expensive transfer. I originally bought the adapter to use with a Thunderbolt 2 RAID I had my eye on, but then I decided that a much cheaper USB 3.1 Gen 2 array was plenty fast enough. So, I bought the adapters; and will use them once (for this) and probably never again. Oh well.
We ordered two 15" to Oklahoma (both stock, one the 2399, one 2799), same order, one went FedEx, one went UPS. No telling what the criteria was.
It's a race from Shanghai! Scheduled delivery 17th, both last status the export scan.
Well I was already heading to the Apple Store to buy the USB a to USB c adapter. So now I'll just get the USB-c to Ethernet adapter.
No it won't. USB Type A is one-way. It'll transfer data both ways, of course, but it's client-host. It doesn't do peer to peer.
Your Time Machines USB port is a 'host', and so is your Mac with the adapter. Host-Host won't work. The fastest way to restore from a time machine is with an ethernet cable connected directly to the Time Machine.
Nevertheless, if it's USB 2.0 (Do the new time machines have USB 3.0?) that's half the speed of ethernet, theoretically. Except gigabit ethernet can actually hit it's theoretical max, whereas you'd be lucky to get 300mbps out of USB 2.0
What I'm doing is booting my 2012 into Target Disk mode, and then connecting it with thunderbolt. Essentially, the SSD in my 2012 has become an external thunderbolt drive, and my Mac is copying files from that.
I talked to Apple CS earlier today here in Sweden and the holiday return policy only applies for orders after November 10..
Also, she just repeated the "Your order should be shipped soon since your authorization charge went through."
Great. I'm at best buy to get a thunderbolt cable. Already have the adapter.
Are you using target disk mode?
[doublepost=1479152076][/doublepost]
Correct. I tried target disk mode and other methods. From researching it doesn't work.
Yes. For some reason my 2012 wouldn't boot into TDM by holding "T", but it did work by going to 'startup disk' in System Preferences' and selecting "reboot into target disk mode".
Just to be clear, my "time machine" is actually just a seagate external hard drive. Would that still register as a host? I'm not looking to transfer directly from a MacBook to another MacBook.
Ohhhhhhhhh
I thought you were referring to an Apple Time Capsule, which is an actual product. (Essentially a router with a built in hard drive).
Yes, absolutely, you can plug in your seagate external drive, select "restore from a time machine backup", and go.
I woke up late this morning, as I was up late last night. Now on a late lunch. Still no tracking information available according to UPS after receiving tracking number from Apple for the stock 13-inch 2016 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar and Touch ID. I received the tracking number from Apple 26 hours ago. Quite surprised tracking information isn't available yet. In my experience, it's always been within 12 hours of receiving a tracking number.
At this point, I believe stock 13-inch MacBook Pros with Touch Bar and Touch ID were never in the US while the build to order models arrived.
Okay, back to work! Have a wonderful day everyone. Hopefully tracking information will be available for us soon!

I'm one of those! Can you elaborate? Any other info they gave you? Thanks for talking to them
This was the case last year, but has changed this year.
Now, it is for orders received on or after November 10. So it includes the MacBook Pros.

However, I'm going to use a TB3 to TB2 adapter and a thunderbolt cable to my mid-2012 MacBook Pro.
