Thank you Paddy and Jim, the latest is that my daughter Pauline took over the discussion on my behalf (failing eyesight and poor hearing) and the outcome was that Apple after a thorough investigation could not (or would not) supply any reason as to why 3 new machines were dispatched with windows partitions and 2 2 of them with item in the trash. With regard to their £80  gesture of goodwill this has now changed tome being offered £150 discount off any new Apple  excluding Apple Care or iTunes.Am now mulling over my options.
Watch this space.

Hi Jim, the iMac was purchased on line  via the official apple site (the link I no longer have) by sale I mean I was eventually escalated up to senior lady manager based in Cork Ireland (Apple European HQ)

Tech / Apple service?

« on: April 17, 2019, 07:39:05 AM »

Long time  since my last posting.Please bear with me on this woeful saga. A couple of weeks ago I thought I would treat myself to a "last hurrah| in that I splashed out on an iMac Pro it arrived on Monday 8th April , with palpitation I set it up  only to find that it was already partitioned for Windows one on top of that there was an item (Superduper) in the trash, my first thought was is this  a refurbished machine?. I called up Apple care and the "techies" could not supply an answer, iMac Pro collected and replaced the following day only to find exactly same problem this time 2 unidentifiable items in the trash, anther collection and new machine only to find this was also windows partitioned. iMac Pro collected an monies refunded. This all happened in the space of 7 days and 5 hours on the phone with various levels o management Techies and sales, I let the techie "into" my machine to see for themselves but no answers were forthcoming.  Senior manager (I want give her name" offered me as a gesture of good will the magnificent sum of £80  which has yet  to appear in my account. might I ask for your comments as to my next move should be (if any)

Community / Hello from Dick Peairs

« on: March 31, 2017, 03:44:48 PM »

have just spent the last half hour talking to Dick ( which I do at least once a fortnight) on subjects ranging from US politics to his granddaughters wedding in July. His speech may rather slow but his mental capacity is still reasonably sharp, I passed on the good wishes of TS which he much appreciated.

BEEN AND GONE AND BOUGHT  AND INSTALLED THE SAID SUPERDRIVE AND IT WORKS AND EJECTS JUST FINE.
 Thank you TS
George
p.s
I was of the impression that any company that was supplied by Apple there was a condition of not selling below price set by Apple.
The price quoted by Apple store (locally) was £79.00 yet I bought it from PC World store  (locally) for £65.00
has Apple changed their policy?

My new 27in iMac  as you know does not have a external drive and I am toying with the idea of buying one.
I am hearing good/bad reports, on the down side there is no eject button and am also hearing that it when asked to eject it can be
a bit iffy and yet there are those that consider it to be the next best thing to sliced bread. I do know that one of illustrious committee members owns one and it sits snugly under the screen.
Advice or suggestions please.

Krissel, optional installs did the trick, many thanks indeed. There are other less important issues but they can wait.
