Apple is amazing when it comes to use of Apple Care. In 2001 I sent my PowerBook G4 logic board in a fix due to the "pixel flicker" old problem, not only recovered in three days, but also has a new top case (where you rest your hands / trackpad) and changed the standing failure to request a free, no! (Feet costs about $ 50 per game, and the top cover is about $ 250.) In 2006 I sent in the same Powerbook G4 logic board for another solution (5 years of abuse logic board heat bending), which also received a quick service and replacement feet. I also used Apple Care to get new chargers for my laptop. (Mine tend to short out after a few years as I use my laptop 10 hours a day, 7 days a week and take them with me everywhere). I also got my brand new replacement iPods with Apple Care, if they have any problems drives (eg from losing) has. Customer service people are friendly (for call center / customer service people), they are very quick delivery, and the whole process is pretty easy as far as tech support goes. Apple Care is definitely worth the money. If there are errors in your computer, Apple will fix this at no extra cost, with quick service. If you buy a Mac, you need to buy Apple Care, it can save lives! (Hint: 1) If you buy a third party hardware to your computer, always take it out before it to a Mac Genius or send it to Apple. They do not support third party hardware. 2) Again and again, the computer before you take it / send it to their backup to avoid the fee.) 28 of 31 people found the following review helpful. amazon problem by Joachim product is very good because the apple people are very receptive. My problem is with Amazon: I bought my MacBook Pro Apple Care on 04.04.07 and sent me a deadline for Jan/10 - about three months short of three years I've paid for when you contact Apple , which means that the specified start date for the apple care plan is the date on Amazon bought the computer and the computer when the customer buys Amazon. Buyer beware - the question of the date of purchase when you buy. 15 of 15 people found the following review helpful. AppleCare replace my Powerbook G4 with a new MacBook Pro By HS sensor light on my OJ G4 (2.5 years) was defective and I sent it to Apple to fix under AppleCare. The sensor was ordered and after a few weeks, I called to complain that was too long to resolve. I spoke with a supervisor, who said that since the sensor was backordered and they could not solve the PB G4 at the time they would give me instead a new MacBook Pro. They sent me the weeks macbookpro a few years ago (the last version and is not extended), and then I sent my PB G4 so you can transfer files, and then, after deleting the files that I sent to Apple G4 PB (all Shipping was paid by Apple) I must say that I was really impressed.

Most helpful customer reviews 20 of 23 people found the following review helpful. I got my money By L. Chao After 2.5 years of wear and go around the world, my iBook crashed and I was really desperate - I was away and not near an Apple Store at the moment, so I was just trying to get a independent Apple reseller to see if I could just pay to fix it. They would charge me to diagnose the computer and said it was unlikely I would have to pay a few hundred dollars to replace the hard drive. I had the uneasy feeling I got ripped off, so I waited for a Mac specialist to see. I had the Protection Plan, I made an appointment and within 10 minutes someone at the Genius Bar was able to figure out the problem. I have my entire hard drive is replaced within one week, and the computer is like new, and even walking on the latest operating system (which I had not). That, and they were able to recover some of my files and burn them on DVD the same day I dropped off for repair would not cost much, or that Apple would cusotmer stellaire this service with their products just like to take part of its brand, but even with the price I would not hesitate to recommend. 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful. I love my iMac G5, but ... By JT ... I had two power supplies and a faulty circuit board + bad in 2 years that I owned. Both occurred after one year warranty expired. Fortunately I had purchased Apple Care, so I took my iMac to the Apple Store site. Fixed, and I returned, as good as new the next day. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. The best you can get. For Deimos This is by far the best support you can get into the technology and the very wise investment. This package extends your warranty for a full three years and also comes with a very positive, powerful and portable tech tools when you start it, it's all scans your entire system and gives you detailed information about any errors or improvements that can done. The tech tool is worth the price alone. I installed the tech tool on my iMac and MacBook Pro and it works beautifully, and neither system has a single incident reported in more than one year.

The best customer reviews 16 of 18 people found this review helpful. This seems to be a good solution for an Ethernet bridge T. Brown I recently purchased a Sony Bravia HDTV and a Blu-Ray Player Panasonic. Both came to the Ethernet ports, but not wireless. I have a wireless-N, then I realized I needed a wireless Ethernet bridge for these two new devices. Two bridges are sold at Best Buy (D-Link, Linksys), but the negative reviews, costs $ 100 and has only one Ethernet port each (which requires the purchase of two bridges and a bridge and a bucket). Many of the bridges in the Amazon also received superficial comments. However, I have seen some devices that Buffalo seemed potentially interesting, with several doors and positive reviews on some models. So I gave it a shot since it comes directly from Amazon (rather than a supplier of 3) and is similar to other Buffalo devices that are reviewed positively. These comments from other models warned of possible problems (eg, , Poor documentation, problems with Windows Vista, no problems connecting to Buffalo wireless routers that use encryption), but has supported these difficulties can be overcome, I had the bridge tonight, and it was simple and easy to install on my network. I've just connected directly to the PC via the Ethernet port, ran the setup disk, the installer fed information about my network and encryption, and that's it. I put the bridge in my cave, which is connected to the TV, and I was immediately able to watch HDTV, Internet-only content on my Sony Bravia (for example Amazon's video). All this took about 15 minutes from opening the box, the configuration on my PC, and popping on my TV. Hard to understand how this could be better, so I give it 5 stars for the time to warn people of the benefits of this product, but if I run into problems later, I will update this review. 6 of 6 people found this review helpful. Works as advertised by John Lessnau Works fine on my home theater for my constituents need a direct Ethernet cable (Xbox, DVR and TV 2) It took a careful reading of the instructions to set to work with my Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR3700 router, but once set I do not have problems like loss of connectivity or delayed. I can stream the Blu Ray quality files from my computer upstairs and my son xbox connection is faster than ever for online gaming. If you have a wireless N bridge, I do not think you can go wrong with Buffalo. 14 of 17 people found this review helpful. Setting up the Mac Tiger 10.4.11 by Craig T. Morita This device works well for streaming Netflix Instant Video to my Sony BDP-N460 Blu-ray player for playback on my Sony XBR TV Bravia8. It is the only bridge that I found which has four connectors on the back of the TV, DVD plug (with a space to an Apple TV or Apple MiniMac connect in the future) There is no documentation on how to use this unit with Macs. Here is a guide for my setup: For the installation of Mac OS Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard 10.5.x, and a unit of the first generation of broadcasting a signal Time Capsule 802.11n. Note that none of the supplied software is running on a Mac to Web-based configuration for Macs. However, you can access the manual on the CD. Also AOSS setup method does not work with Mac AirPort base stations. The documentation for Mac is not essentially in place. A major problem for users of WEP password: WEP password option with Apple Time Capsule stations and units used in recent airport airport is a special form called WEP (Transitional Security Network), if the 802.11n network in the AirPort Utility program to configure. What is this?

For a larger map Derek Ashton Beasley I have, other critics of this product is not useful to me than before my purchase of this product, so I thought I would throw in my two cents.

I am now with the DIR-655 in combination with this card and I'm exceptional assortment! 300Mbps at the end of my property of about 150 running feet away through walls many times.

Good luck. 26 of 30 customers found this review helpful. WARNING: Do not work with Windows XP SP3! Django, I called D-Link support for installation issues with this product. I walked half an hour basic reinstallation and then told me that "this card drivers do not work with Windows XP Service Pack 3" They told me to get rid of Windows Service Pack 2. No, I'm not joking. Thanks, D-Link, wasting time and money with the counterfeit product. D-Link sells this card as compatible with XP, but admit it does not work with the current, approved version of Windows XP. This is very close to fraud. If does not work with XP service pack that 95% of users are in operation, I can not honestly say that works with XP. This speaks very poorly of the D-Link, honesty and integrity. August 8 found this review helpful. Stronger wireless reception by Thomas A.

Backing up is something we all know we should do, but often don't. And while disaster is a great motivator, now it doesn't have to be. Because with the Apple Time Capsule, the nagging need to back up has been replaced by automatic, constant protection. And even better, it all happens wirelessly. Time Capsule includes a wireless hard drive designed to work with Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard. Just set Time Capsule as the designated backup drive for Time Machine, and that's it. This updated version of Time Capsule features a 1 TB hard drive and includes several new features. It now operates in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands simultaneously to ensure top performance for all your devices, and it provides a new Guest Networking option for easy Internet sharing. It also enables you to access your Time Capsule's hard drive over the Internet via a MobileMe account. The dual-band Time Capsule fits the needs of all your Wi-Fi-enabled devices. New Features Some Wi-Fi devices use the 2.4GHz wireless band, including iPhone, iPod touch, and devices using 802.11b/g. Other devices can use either 2.4 GHz or the higher-speed 5 GHz band, such as the latest 802.11n-based Mac computers and Apple TV. Instead of choosing one of the bands, Time Capsule now operates simultaneously on both bands, and your multiband devices automatically use the best available band. This means all your Wi-Fi devices get the fastest possible wireless performance and the best possible range. And with this updated Time Capsule, it's easier than ever to allow guests to use your Internet connection without sharing your password or giving them access to the rest of your network. Simply enable the new Guest Networking feature using the AirPort Utility application and create a separate Wi-Fi network just for your friends. You can set up this guest network with a different password or with none at all. Your primary network--including your printer, attached drives, or other devices--remains secure. If you're away from home and need a file on your Time Capsule back at home, you can now access all the files on your Time Capsule drive over the Internet. Simply register your Time Capsule with a MobileMe account (subscription required), and its drive appears in the Finder sidebar of your Mac just like any other attached drive. Enjoy seamless, wireless backups from your Mac running Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard. Continuous Backup This Apple Time Capsule includes a 500 GB hard drive that's designed to work with Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard. Just set Time Capsule as the designated backup drive for Time Machine, and that's it. Depending on how much data you have, your initial backup with Time Capsule could take overnight or longer. After it completes, only changed files are backed up--automatically, wirelessly, and in the background. If you have multiple Mac computers in your house, Time Capsule can back up and store files for each Leopard-based Mac on your wireless network without having to attach an external drive to each Mac every time you want to back up. Time Capsule with Time Machine in Leopard is the ideal backup solution. But that doesn't mean Tiger, Windows XP, and Windows Vista users can't enjoy the benefits of Time Capsule, too. Because Time Capsule mounts as a wireless hard drive, Tiger and Windows users simply access Time Capsule directly from the wireless network for exchanging and storing files quickly and easily. Compatibility Time Capsule works seamlessly and wirelessly with all your Wi-Fi devices. In fact, it's an incredibly easy way for up to 50 users to share a single broadband Internet connection and USB printer without messy cables. And you don't have to worry about a difficult network setup. Time Capsule uses the Bonjour technology in Mac OS X to allow AirPort-equipped Mac computers running Mac OS X to find each other with no effort on your part--they discover each other just by virtue of being connected to the network. Computers are only part of the wireless story. If you're an Apple TV owner, you can easily integrate it into your Time Capsule network and enjoy the fastest possible connection for syncing with your computer's iTunes library and streaming to your widescreen TV. And if you use an iPhone or an iPod touch, they'll connect to your Time Capsule network to let you surf the web and more. iPhone automatically switches from the cellular network to your Wi-Fi network as soon as you walk in the front door of your home. Time Capsule works effortlessly with any computer that uses Wi-Fi standards, whether it's a Mac or whether it's a Dell, HP, IBM, or any other Windows-based PC. That's because Time Capsule is based on a draft 802.11n specification and is compatible with the earlier 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g specifications. Print Command Central The included USB port is great for sharing a printer throughout your wireless network. Time Capsule and the Bonjour networking technology let everyone in the house or office--Mac and PC users alike--take advantage of one centrally located printer. And if you want to share both a printer and an additional hard drive, you can. Just connect a USB hub to Time Capsule.

Hoffmann I owned the Apple Time Capsule 1TB model for several months. Pros: 1. Very large two 1 TB hard drive. 3 high speed WiFi connections. It can be configured with your network (not a Mac product?) 4. Much faster on my DSL network wireless DSL router that I had connected Cons: 1. Extremely slow data transfer. I am not exaggerating when I say that it took 15 hours for a wired connection back up, with about 250 GB of data transfer ...... wireless backup that much data is not even reasonable, it would take several days. 2. I wanted it for my iTunes library. To my library sharing across multiple devices, when my MacBook was not available. It appears that the transfer speed is too slow for this purpose and I had to scratch that idea. 3. Sometimes it has been too slow to even use Time Machine. The problem is the hard drive, it seems, since the wireless connection is extremely fast Maybe there are some problems with the Time Capsule as communicates with its hard drive? I do not know, I know it is terribly slow. If this can not be used as a hub for wireless backup and painfully slow, then there are solutions out there. If Apple can get this thing in a way to work as advertised, then it might be worth a look. The way is now ... RECOMMENDED! 16 of 18 people found this review helpful. So easy a PC user can do? For Professionals Arteche S.: Develop was a breeze, has a D-Link 655R replaced without any problem. Working on my network multi-platform: PC with an Ethernet cable, MacBook with 802.11n, PS3, Wii, iphone1g, iPhone3G and Canon wireless printer / scanner 802.11g network. Two antennas wireless network continues to run at top speed with an outstanding range! (For the first time my MacBook to the Internet has reached a speed of around 20Mbps Wi-Fi) 1 TB storage works well for both my PC and Mac USB port network really works! Unlike my D-Link needed a special software was only compatible with PC and Mac? Cons: it runs hot (I only checked because of other reviews) sitting there (even if you do not think it's much warmer than my D-Link, I never paid attention); running hot when Time Machine is making his initial return (this made me a little 'nervous), there are some discrepancies with the USB cable to the network when I connect my external hard drive will only read it (FAT32) partition, Mac and PC (NTFS) partition? (Even if my PC will only read my PC partition and division of the Mac, my MacBook Pro reads them both) network settings are not as flexible as an experienced network administrator may appeal. A bit on the pricey side (thank you Amazon for $ 45 saved over the Apple Store) Conclusion It is good if the print server to a complete change for the Mac, or if you are looking for a true dual wireless networking, NAS, and all of a polishing unit, and has Money August 8 found this review helpful. Large unit Router valid backup, network drive yoke Jonathan Birge This product is basically three products: the AirPort Extreme wireless router, a network device, and finally, with Leopard, a backup system on a network. In general, it is a very good product, but there are some serious limitations should be considered. As a router, is fantastic. The typical Apple user, with all the settings made by an application of the graphical user interface very intuitive. Unfortunately, there is a large network drive. The unit seems to be internally connected via the USB connection is very slow. You will find that even with a computer connected via Gb / s Ethernet transmission speeds will be limited to about 5.6 MB / s max. If you have two Macs via Fast Ethernet, you can often get more than 40 MB / s transfer rate, so this is a pretty big disappointment, especially for a product that is very useful if you use Time Machine, Time Machine is great in theory but.

Customer feedback more useful 71 of 75 people found this review helpful. An easy to install, great product! By J. McWhirter I bought the 1 TB Time Capsule to replace my Linksys router and a Lacie 500 GB external hard drive. Installation took about two minutes - and I was. It was very simple - insert the disk into a drive, install version 5.3 of the AirPort Utility, answer questions, and are already in place - very easy. That said, got a warning for users who want more security than a disk password - IE, the use of user accounts to share files, etc. rather than follow the "easy" path, you have to use "If manual configuration. first use the configuration "easy" and want to go back and change a disk password to the security of account security, you lose all data that was transferred to the disc - which is correct you will lose data that was transferred to the disk - for me it was one hour 7, 350 GB transfer - lesson learned. I backup two computers using Time Machine to Time Capsule - a Mac Mini and a MacBook Air Both average of 25 GB on the first Time Machine backup, which lasted approximately 2.5 hours each via Ethernet - which is another point - you want to use Ethernet instead of WiFi for your first backup - as Time Capsule will shorten data speeds to keep the other with AirPort. That said, I am using the 802.11n (5 GHz) to set Time Capsule - and when I am surfing or downloading files via the internet on my MacBook Air, I can not honestly tell the difference between this and a direct Ethernet connection - when connected to the Internet via cable modem. It is quite incredible. To give you an example of the 802.11g transfer rate - I share a single library stored on Time Capsule for both my iTunes and iPhoto programs between the two computers - it used to take 45 to 60 seconds to your iPhoto library, at 802.1 access to 11g (Linksys) on the MacBook Air - access to your iPhoto library now via the link on the MacBook Air 80211n takes 5 seconds or less. As you might guess from the previous statement, as well as backup - I am also using the Time Capsule as an external hard drive - I have about 350 GB of music and 100 GB of video stored on it. And so far so good! All in all I am very happy with this product and recommend it to anyone! 37 of 40 people found this review helpful. I liked my 500gig model as well as I got 1TB model as a shared drive by Jeffrey Heaton I've been using Time Machine since I upgraded to Leopard. While Time Machine is great for backing up my iMac, it's a pain having to connect my MacBook Pro and new Mac Book Air to an external hard drive. Time Capsule is great for this. As long as my laptop is open and running, a backup to happen. Remember to do your first backup via Ethernet. Otherwise, it will be slow. Apple does not want to bog down your network with backups, so if you back up wirelessly, it will throttle the connection flew up this device also functions as a wireless router. I was able to remove my pervious Air Port Extreme from the network. The terabyte model is good because you are able to a large backup drive and a number of smaller computers, two laptops and my iMac just fine to share. 17 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Another winner from Apple Time Capsule B. Naseer is definitely worth its price. He has a big project, we always expect from Apple. Suppose it is a breeze. With 1TB of space, it serves well as a large backup drive (backups wirelessly without ever realizing that you have a backup) and an external hard drive for extra storage. I have not compared the speed of the wireless network with the Linksys routers, but works perfectly with great speed. Perhaps the best feature is all your data to store and able to make things wireless, that is, period. You can view photos, play music, movies, all out.

Most helpful customer reviews 10 of 12 people found the following review helpful. Sufficient, but sometimes slow, average reliability of Randall King I use my 2 TB Time Capsule, a wireless router and wireless backup of my Mac mini. As a router, it is very reliable. I'm having trouble connecting to my iPhone 3G. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. If it works, there are times it will stop working for no apparent reason. Frustrating. Otherwise, my MacBook and Mac mini, both every time to connect and the connection is very reliable. The Time Machine backup feature works very well. It's nice not having to think about backups. It just works, back up everything and I do not have to worry about. The problem with the wireless backup system is that it is * very * slow, and it interferes with my use of my internet. It would be nice if it would eliminate the backup if I lose my connection, so it does not interfere. Or maybe just to make backups when the computer is off and I'm not talking about the first backup of my system ... I mean the daily incremental backups that occur months later. My Linksys router I had for years, eventually failed, but worked much better than before Time Capsule no. My recommendation to anyone reading this is to buy a normal router, and then just use a USB or FireWire hard drive for backup. I have not used the properties to share a printer on Time Capsule so I can not talk about it. June 5 found this review helpful. Really good product! For leaks Gator who bought this product, with some hesitation after reading some negative reviews. I have used this product for about 4 months and have had no problems with it. It does exactly what it says. The only thing is that it becomes very slow backups wirelessly, but I connected directly to my computer and is much faster. Overall, very pleased with this purchase and has helped recover some important files that I deleted by accident. 14 of 20 people found this review helpful. Apple has done it again. By C. Dahlberg I bought this for our wireless network at home with family. Support is our three computers and wireless router and as with many Apple products, it works. It took about 25 minutes from the moment I plugged in until the time capsule had captured the information to "talk" to the DSL modem and have Earthlink. Now I do not think my backups and Internet run faster. See all 13 customer reviews ....
