I have a new external drive coming from Amazon and I plan to back up on that drive with Carbon Copy Cloner so as to have 2 complete backups.

I told them not yet, but I will in about a week. They then asked me if I wanted to make an appointment for the replacement. They said they wipe all the drives clean before they return them and when they transfer my data back, no one actually sees it. I then expressed my concern for all the data on my old drive going back to Seagate. They said it would void the replacement policy. I told them about my apprehension in having them replace all my data and asked if I might do it myself.

They told me I could make an appointment with them to have my drive swapped out and they will also install all my data from my external drive I used with Time machine. I called my local Apple store again today, figuring they had some more time to get more info on this matter and maybe their stance would change.

PS does anyone else in the UK ⚠ have my mac dual drive configuration.? This needed a bit of custom set up involving apple support to get the right things on the right drives, so am in no hurry to muck that up! My decision on Hard drive is to wait and see, firstly to guage experience of apple turn around times/customer experience etc in UK and secondly because I would like to understand what kind of percentage of the seagate drives are faulty.I am backing up with time machine, the machine is under warranty and applecare too, so maybe no need to rush, there's a year yet at least.Īnother consideration for me is that I bought my mac with dual drives - the 1TB Harddrive for data and the 256SSD for OSX/apps.idea was to keep the programs on the ssd as it is fastest and is best with less rewrites, the conventional hard drive then used for big data stuff like docs, music and photos.

On the one hand, after getting the email today I was disappointed to find my brand new shiny mac 21.5 might have a fault on hard drive, on the other at least apple points it out! But doubly frustrating for someone that has just taken the plunge and converted from pc/microsoft rubbish after two decades and still finding my feet in macworld.and who upgraded to OS X lion this past weekend without a hitch (nervous as an XP SP2/SP3 veteran).and had to pay for Lion because I bought my imac just a week to early to qualify for free Lion upgrade. Greetings from an apple mac newbie in UK. Just reporting this so others will know what is going on. I am backed up to Time machine externally and can bring that with me when the time comes. So if you people are getting yours done by Apple stores, maybe my store will get the message and do it in the near future - hopefully. I called Apple support back and this guy finally said it might be to my advantage to wait a bit longer till they get the kinks out and maybe my local Apple store 'might' do it and restore my data - but he wasn't sure about anyting. He also said he wasn't sure about who reinstalls the data and that it was probably on me to do that. I called them, and they said they just read the memo on it and said I had to bring it in 'first,' then they order the replacememt drive and would take a few days. I called Apple support and he had to check on it and told me there is no shipping a 27' imac back to them and I had to call a local Apple authorized service provider, which is not far from me. After they supposedly checked into it, they told me they don't do the replacements there and I would have to call Apple support and ship it back to Apple.

I am reading all these replies about people taking their macs back to an Apple store for the replacement yet I had an entirely different experience since I got my email from apple.įirst, I called my closest Apple Store in Westfarms mall in Connecticut (where I got my Mac).
