HD recall campaign

Hi All, I received an email from Apple about my HD possibly failing and a FOC replacement offer. http://www.apple.com/support/imac-harddrive/?cid=CDM-US-DM-P0013590-192397cp=em-P0013590-192431sr=em The iMac was supplied with OS 10.6.2 and is currently running 10.6.8. Do I have to install

Hi Walter First thing, is to double check that your iMac falls into the replacement program. If you check on that site, some may not actually need it. Second thing, is yes, ensure you have a good backup. I would recommend a Time Machine backup of some sort, and a second back up as well.

Hi Daniel, Have just entered the serial #. The response was it is eligible for the program. In the email and anouncement on the Apple site they also suggest to make an appointment with the genius person at the Apple shop where it can be changed. If that's the case it would be quite easy for me

Yeh Apple direct may be a bit different. They have rules for themselves and rules for their resellers. Pretty unfair, and I won't get into that,.that's a whole other thread I've gone into before…….. But yes, I'll be interested to hear what the AppleStore direct response is. :o) Best of luck with

Good morning all, My HD did fail a few months ago and was changed under the Apple Care program. According to this offer it still falls into the replacement program. Should I read this as they put in another dodgy HD or the earlier replacement has not been detected by this program?

Hi Adrian, I would - as Daniel suggested - enter your serial # into the dialog box and see what comes up. Cheers, Walter On 27.10.2012, at 07:46, Adrian Skehan wrote: Good morning all, My HD did fail a few months ago and was changed under the Apple Care program. According to this offer

It comes up as eligible so does this mean they replaced the original with another dodgy HD or what? Changing the drive again is no big deal its the transfer of data to the new one that bugs me. Regards, Adrian Skehan adrianske...@me.com On 27/10/2012, at 7:46 AM, Adrian Skehan

Hi Adrian, I have no idea if it's fair to say they have installed a dodgy HD ? But I would inquire if in your situation it should be replaced again. Yes, I am also not looking forward having to re-install all the data etc. Things could go wrong. Good luck, Walter On 27.10.2012, at 08:29,

Hi Adrian, The serial number is still going to show to be in the program, as it is the Serial Numbers of these model iMacs, BUT the Hard Drive has been replaced. Not ALL the Seagate Hard Drives that were in these model iMacs are faulty... Apple could have just waited and replaced the ones that
