No, there are no restrictions of any kind imposed on Apple's post-sale support. They could have swapped the computer for a new one had they so chosen to do. Quite the contrary, I think they may be violating the law by not replacing a faulty-out-of-the-box product. But there is nothing I can do...

Haven't heard anything back yet... the only thing about this incident that has proceeded quickly and smoothly was the purchase. Once Apple got their money, everything bogged down and no-one gave a damn any more.

They took it in for servicing. I have no clue how long it will take... so don't have any choice but to wait now.

The store instructed me to take it to a local official Apple service centre, of which there is one in my area. For some reason, the place is open only from Monday to Friday, however, so no go on the weekend... oh well. If I had purchased the computer myself I could at least have exercised the...

I live in Finland, so do not have access to Apple Stores. It was bough to me around the new year time as a gift, but I was able to open the box and set it up only yesterday, since I was away from my office where it was sent. I am currently ensuring wherefrom it was bough.since I left the...

A stupid question. Is my Macbook Air faulty out of the box? I received a brand new Macbook Air today, and started setting it up. Everything went fine till I logged in for the first time, and noticed the keyboard behaving weirdly. Additional testing showed that most of the keys on the...

I was born and bred in Finland, and have resided there (here) all my life.

Well, I see the unintended comedy there...with a pertinent tap on the shoulder. Often, though, such japes fail to span the cultural abyss that lies between native and non-native speakers. Now, speaking of unintended failures, I hear the GMT bug has not been fixed in 8.1.3. It therefore seems...

Excuse me? 'Word'?

I do not partake in this sort of voting. So I choose to remain voiceless, it seems.

That site is utterly useless and a waste of time. It is like trying to communicate with a black hole: One can feed it as much stuff as one has energy to expend, but nothing will ever come back. For all one knows, the report may as well simply be forwarded to /dev/null wihtout anyone who knows...

Apple's own, the one that comes pre-installed on iOS.

Alright. I am getting complains from users that after updating to 8.1.3, their weather widget disappeared from the notification centre (the pull-down view.) It is just... gone. And it cannot be re-activated, since it is not listed as available, nor is it found in the settings -> allow/disable...

iOS 8 broke the Weather app, which will only sporadically update the weather in the background. But often it will not update the weather even when the app is launched. More problematic is that it can go for a full day without loading ANY weather data, showing -- (two dashes) as the current...

When I still had the 5s, on 8.1.2, the battery life was dismal. WiFi is broken in iOS 8, as everyone knows, and will eat up what juice there is pretty quick. You are better off relying on cellural data on iOS 8 on iP5s. Even still, there are random, unaccounted for battery drain sparks that...
