i meant time machine restore , if you restore not retina lion to retina mbp as per apple everything will look like crap

----------



not sure what a spender has to do with anything. when i bought my first imac a year ago they gave me a free magic mouse. based on that i knew " ask and you shall receive"!

oh? Is it true? I plan to do that actually, restore from my current lion to the new retina lion. I will try to google it, but if you can point me to some guideline on apple, that will be great. thanks.

The magic mouse comes with the iMac LOL. They tend to give you more "gifts" with the more money you spend. Since you ordered 2 rMBP's and ThunderBolt displays which is well over $5000 worth of stuff, these "freebies" are nothing to them.
 
I ordered mine the 12th and have been stuck on preparing for shipment for over 30 hours. Hopefully there is a glitch. Maybe it will change by morning. Good night y'all

I had google on it, does not seem like any problem as you claim. Can you please point me to where you found those out?
 
You guys seem to have a different support arrangement over there. I just tried ringing to find out what's happened to the shipping date and got someone Chinese with little grasp of English. She did confirm that even though my order was wrongly priced she couldn't change it, and if I did I shouldn't expect delivery until the end of August at least. She insisted that the delivery date hadn't changed even though it has. And was just generally unhelpful. At first she said it was slow because it was custom, then I asked whether if I chose a different specification it would be quicker, but she said that it would be end of August whatever I chose. Great. And on top of that we're going to have the usual Apple delivery snafu where they put a different delivery address from the one I wrote, so it takes an extra week to arrive (like the last three ipad orders I placed). Grrrrr, when are Dell or Sony or somebody going to make a retina display then I can get some service?

i will only be charged for the second rmbp if i dont return the first so just one rmbp i got the magic mouse in addition to the trackpad you get a choice lol and i bought a tb display in the beggining of june before the rmbp was announced but maybe you are right i just think if you ask nicely they will give you freebies
 
I got tired of waiting for my retina display after I had ordered on the 14th after my orders right when the store first came up on the 11th failed to go through. I called the Fashion Center Best Buy in Paramus NJ and they said that they didn't have any but they saw that Seacaucus Best Buy had some. I called them and they put one on hold for me and I went and picked it up. It wasn't the 16gb upgraded ram that I had ordered or the educational discount but I may just wait for that one to come in and either flip it for a little profit or see if my mother wants to cancel her B&H photo order as that is likely to come in even later I bet.

This was at 6pm tonight.

Decided to check before I went to bed one last time to see if my status changed and it's showing shipped!!!! Estimated deliver is June 29th. The original estimate was jul 3-10. It was sent off jul 27th at 1126 shanghai time. It's now 1044 pm PST

New Zealand. Don't know where apple support were, but judging by the line quality it sounded a whole long way away! Dell from here is actually in Malaysia, but when you order one you get an email immediately with the shipping details and it arrives a few days later. Unlike ipads from Apple, which you get to know about when a distant post office rings you and tells you it's been delivered there instead.
 
im thinkin its not just one or a few trolls from mac rumors, but a larger organization... possibly Annon / 4chan :O
 
It's a little ridiculous the guy who made the spreadsheet didn't think to do anything to prevent this.

Seriously guy? :(

edit: it's all gross looking and racist now. Can someone plz change it back?

I really, really, really, really doubt 4chan would waste their time on this. No point. They do a lot of things to waste time, but this is such a small thing, its obviously someone from here.
 
I just ordered my new rMPB and wanted to contribute to the spreadsheet, but someone :mad::mad::mad: f*cked it up for everyone...

y cant we have nice things?
