You must do this yourself.

I just tested and there are appointments every 5-10 minutes on Nov 8

  • Begin here > Genius Bar - Apple Store
  • "Get help now" link
  • choose [iPad] button
  • choose ]Repairs & physical damage] button
  • choose [Topic is not listed] button
  • enter "blah" (literally - blah) in the field > [Continue]
  • choose [Visit the Genius Bar] button
  • enter West palm Beach in the location field > [Go]
  • choose {The Gardens Mall} (1st in the list on the left)
  • choose the time you want from the popup list over the map

I do not understand what you mean - maybe someone else can guess(?)

If this has nothing to do with Genius Bar reservations

Not sure you really have to make a Genius Bar appointment. Setting it up from a backup is really just a matter of backing up the 4s to iTunes or iCloud, then setting up the new phone by following the prompts:


Transfer content from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Select the Transfer Using iCloud or Transfer Using iTunes option in the link above, and will walk you through making the backup as well as setting up the new device.


Best of luck,
