Does is matter where you buy the applecare?

Hello, I have a 13" MacbookPro which I bought from the Israeli reseller (iDigital).
my warranty is about to end in a week and I want to buy the applecare.
The issue is that in my country (Israel) this plan cost about 390$ (140$ more than buying it on the apple online store). Can I buy the applecare from this website or from another country?
Is the local reseller must accept it?
Thanks in advanced

No it doesn't matter but will Apple USA ship to Israel. Because to actualy use the Apple Care extended warranty you have to recieve the box it comes in and use a number on a card to register the Apple care to the Mac computer it is going to be used with.
If you ordered it today and it shipped tomorrow, which it won't because it is Sunday, would you recieve it within a week? I doubt it.
So go out on Monday to your local Apple store and buy it locally.

Did you buy the Applecare for iPad?

Did you buy the applecare with your new iPad or planning to buy it? It says that for $99.99 CAN, it extends the warranty and technical support to 2 years. Plus it covers hardware damage but you have to pay extra $49.00 for service. I broke the glass from my iPhone before 1 day after I got it, Rogers told me that it will cost $400 for the repair, so I had to find a local person to repair it and it costs me $120.00 but I see some dusts trap inside it. Do you think for an extra $100, this is worthed?

There are two kinds of apple care.
Regular Apple care that has been for sale up to this last week and Apple Care +
Regular Apple Care
Can buy anytime in the first year's manufacturer's warranty
Applies only to manufacturer's defects, does NOT cover accidental damage
Any unauthorized repairs will void it
Apple Care +
Must be bought in the first 30 days after purchase
(may/may not apply to the iPad 3 only)
Covers up to 2 instances of accidental damage with a fee of $49 per incident
I presume that any unauthorized repairs will void it
What you got with yours was regular Apple Care, which infamously did not cover screen breakage. Most people were quoted repair prices starting at $269 and up depending on model. And really it wasn't as much a repair as it was you being allowed to purchase a refurbished device to replace your broken one with.
Apple Care Plus means that if you break your screen, you have up to 2 chances to only pay $49 for a replacement/Repair (no idea if they do the refurb swap or if they really fix it.....with the program in play only a week or so there's no real data available)
I personally got the regular Apple Care. Apple Care + didn't exist a few months ago. I hadn't originally bought it, but after my new iPad's 30 pin port corked it on me (best buy replaced it) I realized that there are certainly batches out there with manufacturer's defects in them and the $99 was a relatively cheap insurance policy against me getting another device with errors in it. (my theory.....some factories aren't as good as others or get batches of bad pieces and parts, so you end up with some out there with errors in them)
In your case, regular Apple Care wouldn't have helped you since it doesn't cover damage. however, Depending on how expensive the Care + is, if I had a new iPad I'd seriously consider it.

Does it matter where I buy iPod Touch?

Hey everyone!
Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I don't really know where else to put this.
So I'm planning to get an iPod Touch in Hong Kong (its cheap there, and no sales tax), but I live in Canada. So I'm wondering, is there any issue with getting a Touch there? Would I be able to get my iPod Touch serviced under Apple warranty here in Canada, even though I bought it in Hong Kong?
Thanks guys!

That's for the 8GB, yeah? Maybe you should consider buying 2, then selling the extra one for a couple of extra bucks. It wouldn't go to waste, someone will invariably buy it if it's brand new and still packaged and will pay more than $300, though probably not much more than the $330 CDN the stores in your neck of the woods charge before tax. You could net a cool $30 CDN if the exchange rate continues to hold up. That's $30 CDN for doing nothing.

Does it matter where I buy it

To buy a MacBook Air from an Apple store, I'd have to drive from Olympia to Tacoma, WA.
or pay shipping.
The local Best Buy has it.
Any reason not to buy it there ?
It seems to be for sale for $50 under list.
Does that mean it is already out of date in some way ?

dont forget those free bunny points you also get if you're a Best Buy Reward Zone member.
out of date, no. Many times I see Macs cheaper at Best Buy . Normal

Live/travel in US, China, & HK; Does it matter where I buy my iPad Mini?

Will a US or HK model iPad Mini (A1455) work in mainland China with a non-LTE sim? It looks like the mainland iPad Mini WiFi +Cell model will also be an A1455 and has all the same cell specs listed (except the LTE info). If I buy a US or HK iPad Mini, can I use a local Chinese sim while I'm in the mainland?

Image does not appear when publishing...does it matter where you import audio?

I have an image on my slide and when I preview the slide it appears correctly, when I hit F10 to preview next 5 sldies or publish file it does not appear. I have imported audio to the slide not to an object. I am wondering if this matters? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you...

Rod -
Cant really explain this one, but the visible check box was checked... I then unchecked it and checked it again, now it seems to be working.....
Weird, but at least it is working.

Does it matter where I purchase the phone?

If I decide to pre-order the iphone 6 from somewhere else instead of through verizon, do I just take it into the store when I receive it to be activated? Not sure since I usually just purchase my phones in the store...

You may need a vzw Sim card but if it comes with it you can activate online,Call or visit store

AppleCare for MacB Pro 13 -- does it matter where bought?

Hi all,
Always helpful to get advice here, thanks to all contributors!
Live in Europe, consider buying MacBook Pro 13 in addition to iMac. Bought ACP for iMac and want to do the same for MacBook. Does it matter if I buy ACP in the US for MacBook bought in Europe (due to DVD coding)?
Thanks!

It doesn't matter where you buy your AppleCare at all. The system is thoroughly international.

Where to buy the logic studio FULL VERSION

does anyone know where to buy the LP8 FULL VERSION not the academic version?
I heard there's only 50$ difference on the price, so i will probably go for the full version.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

When I bought my MacBook Pro, I didn't buy the AppleCare PP with it. Now, is it possible for me to buy it separately to cover my MacBook?

When I bought my MacBook Pro from Apple online store, I didn't buy the AppleCare Protection Plan with it. Now I'm in a different country from where I've bought my MacBook Pro. Is it possible for me to buy AppleCare Protection Plan separately to cover my MacBook?

You should be able to do this if your MBP is still under the original warranty, i.e., under a year old, but it may vary depending on the region where you are. See: http://www.apple.com/legal/sales-support/applecare/appgeos.html

Would you recommend the AppleCare plan for iPad?

Hello, All
I got an iPad for Christmas (my first Apple product), and I'm trying to decide whether to buy the AppleCare plan for it.
Does anyone have any experience with using the AppleCare plan, or getting support for a broken iPad without the plan? Would you recommend getting it?

In the past, with computers that could be opened and fixed by replacing parts, a service plan was not particularly advantageous for those who could swap out a dead HD and put in a new one. When laptops arrived, many thought that since it was a "closed system", it would be best to get a contract. I'd say with the iPad, it's really a closed system for most of us, and buying a plan may be as prudent as for laptops - but then there's the price to consider, given the price of the iPad. I think you can buy a plan anytime before the original warranty expires, so you could hold off.

Would you buy the iPhone 5 again?

I've been an Android guy since the Motorola Droid 1 days and most recently have used the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. In short, I've been happy with this phone other than the fact it doesn't do its most important feature well such as HOLDING A SIGNAL. Seriously, it is a freaking joke. It was a problem when I bought this phone and I kept thinking that VZW would roll out an update to fix it. Nope. A dozen tech calls might fix it. Nope. Even VZW seems to have given up on the phone. Now when I call to complain, they just remind me I have an upgrade coming. Most people fault VZW, I fault Google for allowing their flagship Nexus device to launch with such poor construction.
So onto my question. My wife has the iPhone 4S, which for the most part has been great. At a minimum it holds a steady 3G signal where I can't get anything. At this time, I still want 4G and I like the bigger size of the iPhone 5, not to mention the global capabilities.
Would you buy the IPhone 5 again? A quick Google search shows there was some reception issues with it as well on VZW, but many of those were older. Has it been resolved? I can't drop a ton of money and deal with this stupidity again. Otherwise I might hold on for the Moto X. I'm through with Samsung, forever.

WOW, I just had my Verizon insurout ance replacement iphone 4s stolen in Cambridge, MA and located it with the App Find my Phone, and need a phone desperately as it is my work phone. The replacement 4S stopped holding a charge for more than an hour and many other problems, like when you go to Contacts, and try to choose a person to call or text, the names start automatically scrolling and it was like diving in a pool of water that was 12' wide from a skyscraper....it took like 15 attempts to finally get your finger on the right contact and was absolutely frustrating. So I was headed out to suck up the retail price for a new iphone 5 because my contract isn't up yet w/ Verizon and I also won't be using them again.
So, I have 2 questions as I am at my wit's end and taking vacation day to deal with this crap today as I fly 60 % of the time. An as an FYI, Boston and Cambridge campus is a hot spot for stolen Smartphones, so you might wanna tape that baby to your chest and use the speaker phone:-)
1. Is the iphone 5 a piece of crap too and does anyone have Samsung Galaxy or any other models they don't have issues with?
2. I am NOT tech savvy and was going to try to buy a used one on Craigslist or Ebay but all the recommendations are that you ask all these questions and go pick it up in person??? I am a female and that is not going to happen.....HELPPP Any other options before I jump off that skyscraper into that pool???
Sorry for long post, but dealing with this mess is soooo frustrating and I feel like I am hanging by a noose by Verizon.

Does is matter where you buy the applecare?
