Can I purchase an Apple Care extended warranty for an iPad Air if I purchase it at Best Buy?

CAn I buy an Apple Care extended warranty for an iPad Air if I purchase it at Best Buy?

For me? Buying from best buy was my only option since the closest apple store is over an hour away. (and technically in another state)
Also, when I bought my iPod the warranty that Best Buy offered was far more comprehensive than Apple Care with accidental damage protection for up to 3 years.
And, when my iPad's charging port messed up, I took it into Best Buy and they swapped me out for a new one while at an Apple store I likely would have gotten a refurb.
When I swapped out my iPod 4 for my iPod 5 I took it into best buy, got $70 towards the purchase of the new device by trading in the old one.
Best Buy isn't perfect and not every store is a good one, but they are a good alternative or other option to explore for those buying devices.
I think my biggest beef when buying my iPad and later iPod at Best Buy is when I bought my iPad I bought the screen protector and they wanted to charge me to apply it...and it kinda rankled for me to be plunking down over $600 dollars to have them want to charge me $15 for a screen protector install.

  • Apple sold extended warranty for ipod, will not honor it

    Apple sold me an extended warranty for my ipod that was manufactured by HP. I asked several times - are you sure you support this model? They said yes. At the time, it was still under its regular warranty and starting to have problems. I thought I had plenty of time now that I had an extended warranty. But now they won't honor the warranty.
    Where has the honor of standing by your word or honoring your mistakes gone? My opinion of apple has gone way down.

    Apple will replace the battery for $79. See:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    There are third-party places that may be less expensive:

  • Apple Care extended warranty??

    Good bad or indifferant.....What about other extended warranty plans like Best Buys or Radio Shacks?

    Again, read EXACTLY what the warranty covers.
    If it does NOT say it covers loss, damamge by
    accident, etc. it will NOT be covered, regardless off
    what the salesman tells you.
    Usually, 40-50% of a store managers salary comes
    directly from extended warranties. They are cheap &
    easy to sell for the store and the compnay makes big
    $$$ off of them.
    This is not necessarily bad, but for a $20 cd player,
    you don't need one.
    Here are a few interesting articles.

    I appreciate the links..... The minute I say scrap the extended warranty, you know my ipod will go on the fritz and out of luck I will be............. I think Best Buy will even replace your battery for free with that extended warranty.

  • How long is Apple Care service warrantied for?

    Apple Care replaced a hardrive in my mac mini approximately 1-2 years ago for the low price of an arm and a leg. Now the same hard drive is reporting fatal errors. Anyone know if I would be out the cost and install of another hard drive? Thankx!

    Repairs done by Apple (apple warranty or not) have a time limit for a subsequent warranty or guarantee so you should call AppleCare or Apple Support's toll-free number regarding the product.
    From what I recollect having read, there are variables on what is covered (if under AppleCare Plan, vs a repair done by Apple to an out-of-warranty product) as to duration of additional involvement in follow-up support to their parts or workmanship. Some fixes were covered less than a year additional coverage on a repair if under AppleCare, while others could be covered until the end of any remaining years of a current AppleCare plan; but a computer repaired by Apple though 'out-of-warranty' is another matter.
    Since you state the Mini is running Leopard 10.5.8, that could place its vintage at either the end of the PPC Mini G4 production or into the intel-based CoreDue era. I have a last-model G4 Mini 1.5GHz PPC w/ 10.5.8.
    You could try your luck, if technically detailed and patient, in doing the replacement task yourself; if the hard disk drive truly is the failed component this time around. Could be there is another issue behind the problem...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Are Refurb Phones Accepted in the Apple Care Extended Warranty?

    anyone have any input on this?

    i was wondering if i can extend the 90 day warranty on the refurbs
    Most likely no. The original warranty is the deciding factor in purchasing AppleCare. More than likely, the original warranty on the refurbished units you purchased has expired, thus making them ineligible for AppleCare. You can confirm this by plugging the SN's in here:

  • Will Apple Care extended warranty cover broken glass?

    Or, for that matter, will the 90 day warranty do anything for broken glass on a 4G?

    I was wondering the same thing.  I have an iPhone4 with the AppleCare plan.  Although I have had my phone and AppleCare plan for a year, I didn't bother registering the plan until tonight when my glass broke (from a fall of about two and a half feet).
    My paperwork for the AppleCare plan says that it simply extends the warranty.  That tells me no coverage except for manufacturers' defects.  However, when I went to register my plan at the Apple support website, I was redirected to this page for details of the plan I had just registered.  http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
    Quoting from that page:  "Every iPhone comes with one year of hardware repair coverage through its limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary support. AppleCare+ for iPhone extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPhone1 and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $49 service fee.2 Whether you use your iPhone with a Mac or a PC, just one phone call can help resolve most issues."
    This would seem to imply that for a $49 fee, I can get my glass replaced.  Anybody know if that's the case?
    The plan I purchased is called "AppleCare" in all my paperwork.  However, this web page indicates "Applecare+".  Anybody know if there is a distinction between Applecare and Applecare+? 
    My guess is that sometime in the last year, they added that "two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $49 service fee" sometime in the last year.  And when they added that coverage, they changed the name from AppleCare to AppleCare+.  But that's just a guess on my part.  Anybody know for sure?

  • If I get the apple care protection plan for an iPad 2 then can I get the next generation for free?

    My friends are telling me this and I don't know if they are correct or not.

    I've checked out my local (UK) Apple Store: 
    Applecare  £69
    iPad from £399
    Sounds like a sweet deal to me. I'm going to sign up for this Applecare. I wonder how long I'll have to wait for the free iPad when they bring out the next generation......?

  • APPLE CARE - How do I find out the date of purchase of my mac?

    Can anyone point out how do I find out the exact date of purchase of my mac? I would like to purchase the apple care extended warranty and I do not recall the exact date of purchase of my mac...just before or after a full year...? Can I look it up anywhere?
    Many thanks in advance for your help.

    You can go to this site,
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do
    it tells you when your warranty expires which is 1 year after you purchased it, thats possibly the easiest way, but if you bought it from a store it may be different as it may be the date they purchased it.
    With the extension program, if i purchase one now, my MBP was purchased april last year, will the extended warranty ad onto the date i purchase the extension program or from april last year when i purchased the mbp? I'm wondering because if purchase it now that effectively makes it covered for warranty for up to 4 years!

  • Can I purchase the "old" Apple Care Protection Plan for the iPhone 5S?

    Hi community,
    I have an iPhone 5S since day one of launch (september 20th 2013) and I want to purchase an Apple Care Protection Plan for it.
    As I remember it's possible to purchase it as long as the 1-year-warranty is running, so my time is limited :-)
    It seems as if the "old" Protection Plan doesn't exist anymore, there's only AppleCare+ for purchase.
    My problem is that AppleCare+ can only be purchased 30 days after the purchase of a new iPhone.
    Am I still able to get the "old" Protection Plan with the same conditions or is there no chance?
    Thanx-a-lot in advance!

    Call Apple care in your country they should advise you if you can purchase as you seem to have fallen between the two Plans if AppleCare+ was announced in your Country after the date you purchased your iPhone 5S
    Contact Apple for support and service

  • Yesterday I purchased a new ipod classic to replace one that had worn out. The price was $179. I wonder if I am eligible for the extended warranty for $59. Can't seem to navigate through the apple support option to get answer. Anyone know?

    yesterday I purchased a new ipod classic to replace one that had worn out. The price was $179. I wonder if I am eligible for the extended warranty for $59. Can't seem to navigate through the apple support option to get answer. Anyone know?

    Put in the serial number but was not offered an extended apple care plan. I guess if you purchase a new one because your old one is out of warranty you get a deal for $179 but you don't get a chance for an extended warranty. You don't get a new box or earbuds, just a brand new iPod. Good deal but since my first died under warranty, got a new one for free, second one I smashed the screen and got a new one for (I don't remember) and now the hard drive went and I paid $179 for a new one, I was hoping to get an extended warranty. But I guess not...
    Thank you!

  • I can't register my apple care in Hungary.

    Sorry to post here, but i couldn't find any other topics related to this.
    I bought a new MBP 15 and an extended apple care and i can't reach any phone number i've been given which is impossible to reach. The retailer said apple severs are down for weeks and nobody can register his/hers apple care. Is it really possible? This is the massage what i get: ag.sales.changecountry.alert.notavailableinoss.hun.
    Is there anybody in Cupertino to look after things for Europe ? An other question, do i really have 1 year to register my apple care after my purchase date?
    Thanks a lot!

    I bought it together, and I've tried already and this is what is see:

  • Transferring Apple Care Extended Protection Plan

    I bought my friends iphone 3gs and she does not have the iphone box or the apple care extended protection plan box anymore but i  am able to see online that it is still in warranty but it is in her name. How can I transfer the iphone into my name without the boxes and apple care registration number?

    AppleCare is a warranty extension and covers manufacturing defects. It is not insurance and will not cover user-caused damage, such as scratching or cracking of the glass (unless the crack was determined to be due to a defect in manufacturing, not the iPad being dropped or impacted).
