Apple Store Temecula

Opening Day!

Sept. 26, 10am – We’re not there yet, but I have taken these photos off Twitter. It takes awhile for all six members of the Steussy Ranch to get dressed and get anywhere. Given the line – I think being slower is better for us.

apple_store_temeculaSept 24: The new Apple Store in Temecula is less than a mile away from the Steussy Ranch. I stopped by yesterday morning to get some photos of it.

temecula_apple_street_sceneThis is the street scene coming up to the Apple Store. Very picturesque with the palm trees. Toward the mall from the Apple Store is a Coach store. The storefronts away from the mall (closer to the camera) are empty, filled in with scenes from an idyllic 1950’s Main Street, like the one below.

apple_store_temeculaSept 22: The image above is the announcement we just received by email. The Apple Store Temecula will open Saturday, September 26 at 10am. All six of us from the Steussy Ranch will be there for the party – and hope that you will be as well!

Sept 17: Hoisted from the comments.  I’ve gove by this new Apple Store construction a couple of times in the past few weeks. Once got a peek inside and saw the Genius Bar almost completed. Today, 3 fellows were out polishing the grey frame in front, and a couple of others watching.I asked them if they knew when it was going to open, and one said, a week from this Saturday. I nearly dropped my iPhone! Could this be true? I asked him if he was sure, and he said yes – that he worked for Apple. So OK Macfans, the opening according to this guy, will be Saturday the 26 of Sept.

Location: Outside the Mall at the Promodade-next to the Coach Store. I can’t figure out why there has been no official info before this? Anyone know?

I can hardly wait!

Aug 23: There appears to be quite a bit of news here. A photo has been posted on Twitter of the new Apple Store, all wrapped in black, at the Promenade (courtesy Crystal-Lee Saldana).

An anonymous poster on my blog and other sites interested in the store has proclaimed it will open September 26. I certainly hope so …

Original post here from April 6, 2009: The new Temecula Promenade Mall is impressive for several reasons. It just opened with a host of high-end stores and restaurants in an area hard hit by the real estate crisis. We drove through yesterday without stopping, but it seemed very, very nice. It’s about a mile from our house.

The biggest plus would be the additional of an Apple Store, something that was rumored with a series of Craigslist ads in October (here and here), which were then picked up by an Apple rumor site. One wonders if the owners of the Promenade manufactured the rumor to help their cause (filling the spaces in the expansion). I hope not. I’d love to see an Apple Store actually open. (Current in-house count: three Apple laptops, two iPhones, two iPods and assorted accessories.)

UPDATE: There really are ads for Apple Retail workers in Temecula! The link is here.

    I need information. I wanted to call the apple store but there seems to be no telephone number.
    I want to know how to make multiple copies of a dvd on my mac and if that would be fast or in real time.

    thanks

    Sue, you can use the Disk Utility located in Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility. Use it to make a disk image on your hard disk of the original DVD (hit the New Image button on the top). Afterward, eject the original DVD and put in a blank, writable DVD. You then use the Disk Utility to burn the saved image onto the new DVD. This is much faster than “real time”, depending on the speed of your DVD burner.

    These instructions WILL NOT work on copy-protected DVD’s.

    Hope that answers your question.
