IIRC, non Pro Care people can put themselves on the list online, as long as its the same day. You need Pro Care to make an advance reservation.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Hey. New board.
ita, I don't know which Apple Store you're going to, but I never had to wait more than an hour or so at the Pasadena one. It may have gotten worse, though. The SoHo one is much worse (despite having something like 15 times the number of "Geniuses")

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The SoHo store is to be avoided.
TekServe is so much better, although they can get quite backed up too.

Hey. New board.
Oh? Thanks, Tom, I'll keep that in mind. Although this computer is out of warranty, so I probably won't ever end up wanting to do support that costs anything - does TekServe do free consultation for little things, like store de Apple does?

Yes. Apple more or less ripped off the whole Genius Bar concept from TekServe.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Has anyone had a problem with iTunes refusing to open? My BF had iTunes 5.x on a Compaq running WinXP, and (I don't know what precipitated this) one day he tried to open it and it said "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." That kept happening. He tried downloading iTunes 6, and during installation something happened with Quicktime where it wouldn't install. So the second installation of iTunes 6 won't open either, and said it was due to "error code -3". I think he googled a bit and concluded that it was the computer's fault, and that he wouldn't have any luck with Apple's tech support. So I wanted to check in here first to see if anyone knows anything about this.

Huh. Cool. Good idea, TekServe.

Does he use Eudora? There's a conflict between the two programs. I had a problem like that, but a quick Google turned up the hacky solution in a couple of minutes (which I can't remember right now but could google again if necessary).

No Eudora, but that's interesting. Maybe he installed some other mail program.
