iCloud isn't the easiest service to use, but it's reliable and does what you need.

Although I won't be keeping the service, as I don't play games on my Apple devices often, it's decent for what you pay.

Never actually had to use a warranty here, but hoping if I need to, then it will be worth it.

TERRIBLE SERVICE

Hate this service. They give you surprise fees whenever they feel like it, then when you call them, they reduce the price a bit longer, only to do it again. I will never use this company for any services from here on out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Share a quality experience with a friend and listen to music, podcasts, videos and more without either of you having to take off and share your headphones. With the Best Buy essentials 6" 2-Way Audio Splitter, connect to phones, tablets and more that have a 3.5 mm auxiliary jack. A Y-shaped, 6-inch cable lets you connect two sets of headphones with TRS connectors to the splitter at the same time. A copper spiral shield reduces electrical noise and interference, while nickel-plated brass connectors and flexible PVC prevent corrosion and grant durability. A slim connector allows you to connect the splitter to the device without having to take off your protective case. Backed by Best Buy, share your favorite song and more with high-quality accessories you can trust.

Keep your computer running smoothly by using this CORSAIR thermal paste on its components. It has an ultralow thermal impedance that enables efficient heat transfer from the hardware to the cooling system to prevent overheating, and the low-viscosity material is simple to apply. This CORSAIR thermal paste lasts for years without degrading.

Always love Roku TVs. They are one of the easiest to set up and use on the market. Needed this to replace a 32" that was aging and getting slow. This one is super fast and reliable and does exactly what I need it for.

I have one of these speakers...love it! But I have a friend that wants it for the Google Assistant only. They don't own a smart phone or smart device, but have a desktop pc and wifi. Is it possible to set up this item without the phone or app?

Powerful. Easy to use. Versatile. The new iPad has a beautiful 10.2-inch Retina display, powerful A13 Bionic chip, an Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage, and works with Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard.~ iPad lets you do more, more easily. All for an incredible value.
 

What is the default warranty period for a new ipad 9th generation?

1 year warranty is standard on all iPads, but this may not cover every issue. If it's dented, cracked or visibly damaged by the customer due to neglect, then they will not replace or will resist replacing.

For real slick performance and truly stylish engineering, take a look at the Lenovo~ IdeaCentre~ AIO 3i. It~s powered by a 10th generation Intel~ Core~ i3 processor, DDR4 memory, and a 256GB solid-state storage drive, so it can handle any task. With its streamlined stand and near-borderless display, it saves on desk space, too.
 

Does it have Wifi and internet?

Wi-Fi is included with this item. As long as you are paying for internet service it will connect wirelessly to your router.

Mac mini now has fourth-generation Intel Core processors, increased graphics performance, and ultrafast 802.11ac wireless networking. It also features two Thunderbolt 2 ports, great built-in apps, and OS X Yosemite. And it's still the world's most power-efficient desktop.
 

I just bought a Mac mini (Feb., 2018) at the store. When I set it up, it says it is a 2014 model. Shouldn't be a newer model?? paid $500.

Until the announcement last month, this model was the last one Apple made. As stated in other comments, they have just made improvements, such as updated processors and memory, without changing the model, so this item was the newest available when you bought it.

Approximately how long does it take from the time you push the power button for the device to be ready for sign in?

Depending on the selections you make during setup, it can take between 10 mins and 1 hour. Sometimes the machine requires updates or to download from iCloud if you are restoring from the backup of an old or dead machine. If it's a brand new one I would estimate less than 30 mins total if you don't require major updates.

Is there any way to have the clock display stay on without an internet connection?

Unfortunately the clock requires an internet connection.

Is there a way to get past the "LOAD" error? It flashed it all night after setting up. Got real weird setting up with rest of assistants in the house, as it played music as a group but told me I needed to log into the app to ask it questions. Then "LOAD".

I unplugged it, plugged back in, then relaunched the app and everything was fine since. Must be a first time setup issue.

From TV shows to movies to games, it~s all available on Apple TV. Enjoy content from iTunes and apps like Apple TV+, Disney+, Netflix, Hulu and ESPN ~ or use the Siri Remote to find just what you want.* You can even share all the photos you take with your iPhone on the big screen. And it all looks great in HD.
 

Is there a home button like the roku? or do you have to go back though every menu like the old apple tv?

As far as I know, the only way is to just keep hitting "Menu" until you get back to the screen you want.
