Transfer of apple care

I just bought an iphone 3gs 16gb from a friend. He has bought the apple care from AT&T for the iphone before selling the iphone to me. The apple care is up to October, 2011.
I have asked apple how to transfer the apple care under my name. Apple said that it will need the receipt for apple care from my friend. However, he cannot find the original apple receipt either.
What will be the solution in this case?
Please let me know. Thanks.

The warranty and Apple care follow the iphone not the person.
You should have to do nothing. If the iphone is covered by Applecare, then it is covered, no matter who owns it.

How do I transfer my Apple care protection plan

I will have to send my iPad 2 to Apple and probably will get a refurb device back!
What happens with my ACPP o my iPad? Is it going to be transfered automatically?

Hello:
The Applecare coverage is effective for the original term (two additional years).

Can you transfer Apple Care from one device to another?

I bought a new iPod touch for my daughter on July 7th and it was stolen two days ago. If our insurance covers it - can I transfer the Apple Care to the replacement or will I have to buy a new Apple Care?
Thanks!!

you shouldn't have to transfer the Apple Care because it is an insurance on the iPod
No, it is not insurance.
and since it will cover stolen iPods
It does not cover replacement of a stolen iPod.
if should be transfered automatically because, also in theory, it is the same iPod.
There's no "theory" to it at all. It is the same iPod.
AppleCare is purchased for a specific iPod. The AppleCare stays with that iPod.

Can I transfer my apple care to a new person?
someone also told me that I can cash it out?
Does anyone know about either of these options?

If you are the person w/AppleCare then why not call them & ask them?

Apple Care Transfer To New Macbook

Hi,
I was forced to purchase a new macbook due to water damage. At the time that I purchased the new one my Apple Care was still good for my old one so I asked if I could transfer the account and of course they told me I had to call in. So a few months have gone by and I let it slip my mind until now the keyboard casing is cracking on my macbook (mind you this happened to my old macbook before the water damage AND happened to a friend. All three times in the same EXACT place). Anyway, now to transfer the Apple Care to my new macbook I have to send an e-mail or fax and provide "the Plan Agreement Number, the serial numbers of the Covered Equipment being transferred, proof of purchase of the Plan, and the number and email address of the new owner." The problem is I don't know the serial number for the old macbook nor can I find the receipt from my in store purchase of the new macbook (I know, I know I probably sound like a total idiot but for whatever reasons I lost it). Any idea how I can possibly get around this or am I screwed? I really need to get the cracks fixed because it doesn't stop cracking it just keeps getting bigger and I am scared it will affect my machine soon.

You can not transfer the AppleCare plan from your previous MacBook to your new MacBook. You will need to purchase a new plan.
The AppleCare plan that you had on your old MacBook CAN be transferred to the new owner of the old MacBook though. You need to contact Apple for that.

Can Apple Care be transferred to another laptop?

I purchased a MacBook Air and Apple Care for it. I now want to sell my MacBook air and buy one with a bigger memory - can I transfer my Apple care protection plan to my new laptop, as I sitll have over 2 years remaining on it?

Yes, and you must notify Apple in writing.

Why my apple care for iphone doesn't transfer to my new phone after I claim a new one from apple store ?

2 days ago my iphone fall into a sink full of water. Yesterday I went to apple store and ask for apple care for iphone and they have it. So, I bought it and registered it right away since my iphone still be in a garentee and still not surpass one year usage. Then they told me that my iphone problem considered in a "physical damage case" which they have a policy for claiming a new iphone and pay some fee. After I got my new iphone, they said that all the information and phone data which is registered into apple system about the phone and the user and bla bla bla will transfer to my new iphone. Today, I just check my phone serial number in "support & coverage " column and I found that all the phone data in apple system is already transfered from the old one to the new one EXCEPT the data of apple care that I already registered before I claimed the new phone. Now, the question is " What can I do ? " and " will it be transferd to my new iphone or I have to buy a new apple care for my NEW PHONE That I got from their service "

Placing your iPhone in the toilet was the correct thing to do but you should have purchased an android phone instead. That would have solved these issues. :-)

Apple Care Transfer

Good Evening,
I currently own an iPhone 3GS in which I will be selling it tomorrow and I'm including the Apple Care I bought with it. I read online that to do a transfer, I'd need to fax in a few things to the US Apple office, such as proof of purchase of plan, the serial #, the contact info of the new owner, etc.
Is there any other method such as emailing or calling them up on the phone and doing this? Or do I need to fax it? How long does this process take, as I don't want it to take long after I sell my iPhone 3GS.
Thanks

My apple care expire tomorrow, if were to purchase the new warranty , am able to transfer thatto my new iphone

my apple care expire tomorrow, if were to purchase the new warranty , am able to transfer thatto my new iphone

If you've already had extended Applecare, you can't extend it again. If you buy Applecare online from Apple, you can purchase and register it in one fell swoop - there's no need to transfer anything.

Apple care warranty transfer

I am buying a Ipad 4 that is still under apple warranty. How can I transfer this Ipad to my Apple ID?

hi chris CA. you were very helpful. i hope to get the refund. when i initially called the apple support line, they told me to take the police report and apple care info to the store and they'd cover a new iPhone. When i got to the store, they told me i was out of luck. i paid close to $1,050 for a new phone. but didn't want to fiddle with the warranty having just lost all of my credit cards, photo ids. my dad bought the new phone online for me. the people at the millennia mall is orlando florida were totally nice and caring. it's just said cause when i got the warranty from apple, the store manager back home said it was better than verizon's. then my phone was stolen. sorry for the long THANK YOU CHRIS CA.

Transfer Apple Care Plan

I've been on pre-order for an iPad with Apple Care Plan since they Apple were accepting pre-orders in Australia but still haven't received my iPad (it is still showing as Ships by 7 June). I've received the Care Plan (???) but no iPad and now have the opportunity to purchase one from a reseller tomorrow.
So before I make the decision, I want to know if I cancel my pre-order for the iPad with Apple and go with the reseller option, can I transfer the Care Plan across to the model I actually purchase?

arcanedevice,
You could attempt to contact Apple - Support - Contacting Apple Support and Customer Service - Phone Contacts using the number listed for Australia.
Another helpful link may be Apple - Support - AppleCare.
Cheers.

Apple care transfer to new owner.

I Have just bought a secondhand mac air which is still under warrantee. The previous owner also bought apple care using the student discount. Can I upgrade this to normal apple care, if not can I still buy normal apple care?

Is the AppleCare Protection Plan or AppleCare+ transferable?
Yes. If you choose to sell or give away your Apple product, you can also transfer the ownership of the AppleCare Protection Plan or AppleCare+. Please see the Terms and Conditions for complete details.

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the Mac Air forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/welcome

Apple care transfer from person to person

I'm thinking of buying a MacBook Pro form another person, the MacBook has 3 years of Apple Care, does the Apple Care transfer over to me?
Also is a cracked TrackPad (Working) Covered?
Need a reply ASAP

Jack I notice you are in UK. Me too and I just bought a lovely MacBook Pro from eBay but a couple of weeks or so ago I had an unpleasant eBay transaction when I tried to buy a MacBook Pro from a person claiming to live in Scotland, near Glasgow.
The only reason I mention it is that it too was boasting 3yrs Apple Care which is slightly unusual in a secon-hand machine because Apple Care has decent resale value in itself. It was a late 2011 Macbook Pro. The seller refused to send the item even though I'd paid for it. They listed Paypal as an acceptable form of payment but in fact they were not registered and kept insisting that I pay by bank transfer instead. This breached eBays policy and I was becoming suspicious.
After a couple of days of eBay emails to the seller where I suggested we could find some sort of work around I cancelled the eBay payment. I left a feedback comment on the sellers rating card with a message that read: "In this transaction the seller lacked integrity. Full email thread on request". He then left a wholly very personal, unjustified, mean and nasty message on my ratings page so I reported the incident to eBay.
A couple of days later I received an eBay email from an eBayer that I'd never heard of saying he'd seen my ratings feedback message and that he was about to buy the MBP from the same guy but that he'd become suspicious because he was trying to get him to pay by bank transfer even though he'd claimed in his listing that he accepted Paypal. The new buyer eventually withdrew his offer and also reported the seller to eBay.
The following week I received an priority email from eBay saying I should not pay this seller under any circumstances. A few hours later I checked and discovered that he was no longer a registered eBayer so I think he must have been banned or suspended. This story sounds like it ended well doesn't it? Read on...
Perhaps a week after receiving the priority email I received an eBay email from yet another eBayer that I didn't know, asking me about the same seller, based on my feedback comment on his feedback page. On this occasion the poor buyer had paid directly into the seller's bank account a week earlier, persumably just before he was banned or suspended, but hadn't received the MacBook Pro and was getting worried because he could no longer contact the seller all his calls and messages remained unanswered.
I don't mean to cast aspersions on the seller in your case but my story is a salutary lesson that there are unscruplous people out there. dealing in second-hand Macs (or possibly non-existent Macs and and we need to be careful. If your proposed purchase is Kosher best of luck with your new MacBook Pro. if, however, any of this does in fact sound reminiscent of your situation and you would like to contact me securely and in private you can do so through my eBay email, user name Audiodromuk.

I am planning on buying an iphone 4 from some one. The phone still has the Apple Care Protection plan on it. Would there need to be a transfer of plan onto my name? If so, how is this done?

Hi, I am planning on buying an iphone 4 from some one. The phone still has the Apple Care Protection plan on it. Would there need to be a transfer of plan onto my name? If so, how is this done?

As the others have said, transferring AppleCare to your name is not absolutely essential. It can make things easier in some cases, though, should questions arise, so it's worth having done. The person from whom you're buying the iPhone will have to call AppleCare Plan Administration (s/he can call the normal Apple support line and ask to be transferred) and arrange to have the plan transferred to you.
Regards.
