Could I get an extended warranty for my iMac..?

My iMac has been constantly freezing and my dad just got it fixed for $500 about a month ago. Our 1 year warranty from the purchase date is over cause it's been about 2 years now since we bought it. Everytime it freezes I gotta put the "install DVD" in and repair the disk, than it works but freezes a couple hours later. I'm so sick of this, how could I get a warranty for this because I can't pay 500 bucks everytime this thing crashes.... I read about the AppleCare and it only says it extends 3 years from purchase date, so would that mean I have only one year left till the warranty is over..? thanks

You can't buy AppleCare. You have to buy it before the end of the first one year warranty.

Should I get an extended warranty for a T520?

I already have a 2 year warranty including my AMEX 1 year extended warranty.
I heard that if something is going to go wrong, it will happen in the first two years.
Lenovo has a 30% sale on extended warranties.
I can get a three year for $80.00
A two year is $50.00

Hi JWBlue
It depends on your needs. Some people change their computer every 1 or 2 years due to trendy, performance need, etc.
If you think your T520 can fulfill your needs, etc. for 3-5 years, then you may consider to upgrade your warranty. For me, I would choose to upgrade the warranty to play safe.
In my opinion, upgrading warranty or not is trying your luck.
If you upgrade your warranty:
Pros: You could save a lot if your machine fails within the long warranty (3-5yr) period. (Parts are expensive)
Cons: You need to spend a bit more for warranty (+$80, higher initial cost)
If you do not upgrade your warranty:
Pros: You could save the warranty upgrade cost (lower initial / purchase cost)
Cons: If your machine fails after the short (1yr) warranty and you wish to get it repaired, parts and service cost would be more expensive than the warranty upgrade cost.
Happy 2012!

How can I get extended warranty for my nokia 5800 express music

Nokia does not give extended warranty except perhaps in some promo. The dealer you bought it from may offer you extended warranty with them. Apart from that, none.

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!

Purchasing an extended warranty for the Sealed Battery

Hi,
I purchased an open box Lenovo X1 which has 2yrs onsite warranty remaining. I am now trying to purchase an extended warranty for the sealed battery unit but not sure how to proceed.
I have found the product 04W7993 which sounds like the right item but not sure if it would apply to my machine.
Can anyone confirm if this warranty product could be used to extend the warranty for my laptop? Even though it was open box, the cycle count was only 1 and the battery still has 100% of manufacturer capacity reported by the Power Manager.
I have tried ringing Lenovo Warranty services and the Lenovo UK sales line but neither could help me.
Cheers!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The 1294 system has a standard 3 year on-site warranty, the following are the options available;
The problem for you may be that the accidental damage cover needs to be puchased, I believe, within 90 days of purchasing the system. As you purchased an "open box" system I'm not sure if this is still possible, at best ask the shop where you purchased it; if they had purchased it as a demo-system it should be possible for you to purchase both.

No Extended warranty for HP printers in Canada!

I contacted HP to purchase an extended warranty for a newly purchased printer, since we do not have a long warranty on HP A-I-O products. I was ready to spend money on purchasing a 3 year extended warranty, but to my surprise, it is not available outside the USA.
I spent $299 on a L7780 printer under 3 years ago, that is now a pile of scrap, and purchased another C410a for $150, and was ready to buy the warranty online.
I wondered if I would have to purchase in the USA, and set the location to the USA in my registration, since I am 15 minutes from the border.
However, I would like to know if anyone else in Canada finds this a problem, and would like to get involved in a class-action suit to get the CARE PACK SERVICES forced to be introduced in Canada as well, since for a couple of dollars, it would mean having a 3 year warranty available to us, instead of losing out in a year.

Extended Warranty for MacBook or MacBook Pro??

We are a company of consultants who are frustratingly enslaved to MicroSith. We are frustrated and would consider moving to Mac, if we can get an extended warranty past 3 years. Currently, we are on a 5 year life-cycle for hardware. We have purchased from Dell and get their extended warranty. I've already asked Apple and they only have a 3 year. But, is there any third-party warranty provider that will extend that?
Please help release me from the empire!

If you pay for a mac using a decent credit card which had this as a benefit - then using a credit card may automatically double your warranty. Check Visa purchase guard for example.
To my knowledge, Visa will also sell extended warranties for 5 years, as will many retailers and Square Trade. The question is whether what you pay now for years 4 and 5 cover outweighs what the machine will be worth then, in which case it would better just to put the money in the bank. Some people suggest that for all extended warranties mind you.
Best of luck.

HT201198 how much do i pay in indian rupee for applecare protection ( 2nd year extended warranty ) for iphone 5c

how much do i pay in indian rupee for applecare pack ( 2nd year extended warranty ) for iphone 5c

Right. So you're telling me that Apple has left someone in charge who is totally screwing their customers' experience and no one at Apple will help reign them in and set them straight?
I guarantee you that she's not the only person who's had this experience and it **** well sours me from buying another iPhone if I know it won't be taken care of if something goes wrong.
I've posted this to let Apple know there's something woefully wrong with their partner and to get that fixed as well. I know Vodafone is the one I'm supposed to deal with; I just want that to be improved.

Extending warranty for MacBook 13" (2007, Generation3)?

I have upgraded my MacBook from Tiger to Snow Leopard. Can I register Sow Leopard online with Apple? I bought my MacBook in 2007 and my 3-years Apple Care protection expires in July 2010. Can I get an extended warranty again for my Apple MacBook or software?

Hello.
Apple does not offer a warranty longer than the initial 3 year Apple Care plan. You might be able to find a third party warranty service but I've never heard of any them offer their plan for a 3 year old electronic.
Luckily the Apple Retail Store offers free tech support at the Genius Bar and if your Mac needs a repair then a quote to fix it can be offered. http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar

HT1349 Do I only have a certain window of time to register my Apple Service and Support protection plan before it expires? I certainly hope not I paid for it and could never get the serial numbers for product & protection to sync together!

Normally must register an AppleCare plan before the original warranty on the Mac expires. If you have problems registering the AppleCare plan for your MacBook, call Apple tech support and ask to be connected to AppleCare Plan Adminstration.
For future posts, please make sure you're in the most appropriate forum for the product or service you're asking about. You'll be most likely to get quick and accurate help that way.

Can i get applecare extended warranty plan on replacement set.

can i get applecare extended warranty plan on replacement set.

It depends on the country you're in and when you purchased your original iPhone. If you're in a country where Apple offers AppleCare+ (the plan that included accidental-damage coverage), you must purchase AppleCare at the time you first buy your iPhone or within 30 calendar days. If you're in a country where Apple still offers the original AppleCare plan, you can purchase a plan any time within one year from the time you purchased the original iPhone. Having replaced the iPhone should not affect your ability to buy AppleCare as long as the iPhone was replaced by Apple or an authorized iPhone service provider. Contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Store, if you have them in your area, for information on purchasing an AppleCare plan.
Regards.

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:

There are third-party places that may be less expensive:

Z30 Extended warranty for black screen

Hello everyone,
I see that BlackBerry is now offering an Extended Warranty for the Z30's with the Black Screen issue. I'm wondering if I have the same problem and if this warranty might apply to me. After the update, my Z30 would have the bottom 1/3 of my screen go black or mostly black flickering on slightly when charging overnight. Once I do several hard resets the screen comes back on.
I've ordered a new digitizer because I didn't realize that this issue was this wide spread and that BlackBerry is offering an extended warranty for this. I haven't installed the digitizer yet and won't if anyone can confirm that I'm having the same issue with the bottom 1/3 of my screen going black at night on charge that this warranty applies to.
Can anybody tell me how I can contact BlackBerry to confirm if this is the same issue?
Mike

That is not the same issue. You have some other problem besides the black screen issue.

Extended warranty for Satellite A300-15C

Hi
I am new here so sorry if I posted it under wrong thread.
I want to buy extended warranty for Satellite A300-15C (1+1 standard warranty) so I wanna ask which warranty package gives the longest protection for this model.
2+2 is the longest? ID: SE5054I-PDB.
Secondly, and more importantly, the laptop is more than 1 year old. When i was buying it, in retail store they told me that the extended warranty can be activated at any time, but now I see that there is this 30 days deadline policy. Is there any way how to overcome?
Thanks

Hello Pingo
You must understand that this forum is user-to-user forum and what you need is expert advice. So I recommend you to contact nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and order best extended warranty option.
At first you can visit Toshiba support page and pick up some info about warranty options.
The link is http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Peripherals & Services
On the same page under Support & Download > Find an ASP you can find address and phone number of your nearest ASP.
