Anybody have experience of service after guarantee/Apple care expired.

I am plaining to get a MacBook Pro, but what afraid me is that if the Apple care/guarantee has expired, as I have an experience with my iPhone of being refereed to a third party service center. That was not a good experience one, as they didn't do a proper job to my iPhone.

Yes! i have had my screen replaced 3 times,just before the warranty ran out,and i knew that it would happen again, (even has i am typing this out its happening again) I was given no choice but to buy this Apple Care Plan. My question is what happens after 3yrs. In my country England you just keep on paying the insurance every year. If you do not have any insurance, Say, on a washing machine you call the guys out to fix it, they tell you the price before they begin. You are better off buying a new washer, because of the price they charge. I know for definate after 3yrs thats it,and say if you had to get your screen replaced it would cost you £400 plus carriage,and that comes to about £500. You might as well buy a new computer. Unless anybody can come up with a better answer to this i would love to know.

My iMac has slowed down considerably soon after my Apple Care expired. Reminds me of the PC days.

What can I do about my iMac slowing down. Shortly after my Apple Care ran out it started to slow considerably. Kind of like having a PC again. On a PC I would defrag it, but Apple tells me it is not recommended for the iMac. Tired of watching the multi-colored circle spin. What can be done? I just upgraded to Lion. The problem seems a bit worse since. AND I can no longer get my iMac to back up with Time Machine. What gives?

Try using disk utility on your hard drive to repair it, also repair your permissions. Open activity monitor and take a look at your RAM and CPU usage. You may have a program or tow taking up a lot of your resources.

Retina or no? What happens after the apple care expires

I am thinking of getting a pro. Now ideally I'd want to have the retina. But since the memory and the SSD are soldered, what will happen if they break? Especially after 3 years? Do we have to pay for the whole motherboard? I asked ppl in the store but they didn't know. Memory might not go bad but I am not sure about the SSD after 3 years. I don't want to end up paying the whole thing except the screen after 3 years.

Is it true that MacBooks have to have their batteries " serviced " after 3 years

Is it true that MacBooks have to have their batteries " serviced " after 3 years- if so, where would I get it done?

It would help to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info, then select Power from the left hand column of the System Profiler. Copy and paste the Battery Information from the top of the page back here.

Does anybody have experience to work with jsapi in midlet?

Hi every body
I want to write a java midlet for mobile phone with ability of speech recogntion ,can I use jsapi2 ?
does anybody have experience with jspi in j2me?

Hello,
see the attached example I use for a PCI-7344.
You must just know that these AO have an offset: If you set "0" as input, you will perhaps have between -150..+150mV at the AO. This can be annoying depending what you do with it. However, this offset doesn't vary over the time.
In the attached VI, you can give this offset one time for ever.
Hope this help.

Can the apple external disc drive that I just got for my air also work with my late 2007 macbook pro? The internal disc drive broke after apple care expired, natch.

No, sorry. it won't work with the 2007 MBP. You can replace the optical drive yourself - just go shopping at OWC.
Good luck,

Need to have screen checked before Apple Care expires - have I voided it?

There is some imperfection on my iMac screen - looks like the screen is dirty, but it seems to be under the glass or something.
Anyway, want to have it looked at before Apple Care Expires in october. My question: if I've upgraded RAM myself, did I void the Apple Care?

+My question: if I've upgraded RAM myself, did I void the Apple Care?+
No you haven't - RAM is a user installable part on iMacs. If you've kept the original RAM, you could pop that back in if necessary, but since the problem is with the screen, it should not have anything to do with the RAM.
I'd make an appointment with a Genius Bar nearby to have the screen checked.

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.

Does anybody have DVDSP 4 running after updating to 10.4.9?

All seems fine after the installation of 10.4.9, but once you touch three assets within a project, DVDSP hangs. Activity Monitor shows 100% of a core being used at all times. It rotates through all four cores in this system with at least 1 core at 100% usage always. Reinstalled from the original Tiger discs and ran software update and installed all updates save 10.4.9. This results in 10.4.7, and apparently one of the DVDSP or Final Cut patches require 10.4.8 which is no longer available from Downloads. Anybody have any ideas on this one?

I have both a G5/quad 2.5 Ghz & Mac Pro 3Ghz towers and DVD SP (ver. 4.1.0) runs perfectly under OS X 10.4.9.

I have no data service after io6? Anyone know a solution?

As in no 3G or edge. Can't send texts.

I have the same problem after upgrading to IO 6 on my iPhone 4S, and I think I figured out a fix!
Go to:
Settings > General > Cellular > Roaming > Data Roaming ON
It looks like after the upgrade it thinks I'm roaming and restricted data over 3G. Not sure if this will impact my phone bill (theoretically it shouldn't, since I'm not in roam), but we'll see.
Hope this helps!

What and for how long additional OR separate benefits I receive after buying Apple Care?

I bought a MBA 13" in India (home) last month.
I wanted to know about Apple Care / Extended warranty that is available for sth like ~15K (INR).
Can you please give me a detail as in what do I get with this for my Mac and for how long?
Can I buy this before the day my current/default warranty expires or shall I have to buy this within some stipulated period from the day of purchase of my Mac?
What is already available for my Mac as of now and for how long? Shall anything be added to warranty or care that is available with my Mac as of now? Shall be added right from the day I buy it or it will happen so after my current warranty/care gets used up i.e. after completion or 1 year or for whatever period MBAs comes with care/warranty. So, these extended warranty simply increases the number of years on my protection plan or gives additional cookies?
If I buy an iPhone5 then shall I have to purchase separate apple care for that? Or is it available for all my Apple products? Or if not then are there such plans that I can buy to cover all or many of my apple products and are cheaper as a combined purchase?
Within that period if let's say my Keypad fails screen goes kaput then Apple will either fix it/replace it or it will ask for extra money if it needs replacement? Or will ask for extra money even if it was not accidental damage (my fault)? I read sth about accidental damage with AppleCare purchase - it adds to the first year also or only during the next two years (or next 3 years - not sure how long it holds).
Shall I have to buy it offline or i can buy it online too? What if I buy from another country (online/offline) if it's available for cheap over there?
I see some deals on such packages on eBay - mostly on USA eBay, and have read posts people buying it but they were mostly from USA/EU. Can I buy one of those? Shall they be valid for my product(s)?
By the way, does Apple provide an email support with those plans because I couldn't find one email address for Apple support.

Apple Care Expiring

My Apple Care will expire next June. I like how I can call them if I have a really tricky problem and they can do remote screen help.
Is Geek Squad my only alternative?

Do as I did when I was close to extended AppleCare running out.
Forget Best Buy and the Geek Squad. They are useless and are NOT Apple product repair specialists.
A few weeks before the warranty ends, bring your Mac into an Apple Store or Apple authorised service/repair center and have them do a complete diagnosis if your iMac, have them clean out any dust and dirt inside and generally have them do every test and inspection possible, so if they find anything, it will get repaired/replaced at no cost before AppleCare's time runs out.

What will happen when my Apple Care expire? Can I get another one?

I just go my MBP 17" 6 months ago and I already had some quiet serious issue with that machine (motherboard replacement). I have also Apple Care. I wish to keep this machine as long as it is possible (5 years or so) and my question is can I buy another 2 or 3 years of Apple Care when the current one will expire? I don't want to be left alone, without any coverage and paying hefty prices for reparations. What are your suggestions guys?
Thanks for any answers.

AppleCare is a one-time extension of your warranty. You cannot extend your warranty beyond your initial AppleCare term through Apple. You may be able to find third party vendors to provide extended coverage.

Battery life suddenly terrible, apple care expired in September but still 10 months on my contract?

Hi there,
I'm wondering if there is anything that Apple can do for my iPhone 6? I first got it in September 2012 (2 years and a bit ago) and I purchased apple care. I had previously replaced the battery because it did the same thing. The battery life depletes in less than a couple hours even if it is fully charged, and if I am outside in the cold, the phone will shut off even if there is 50% or 40% of the battery life remaining.
Please let me know if there is anything. I know that the laws in Quebec are different because we have legal warranty here which means that even without Apple Care I should be able to get help for this.
Please let me know if you have any advice or help as to what I should do!

Since I am from the US, I cannot comment on Canadian laws. If you have an issue with Canadian law and Apple, then I suggest you address that with the Apple store. What I was saying was if you let someone other than Apple open the device, then it voids warranty and post-warranty support. If Apple made the replacement, then discuss it with them.
Your statement to the other poster about phone support; unless you purchase Apple Care Plus, complementary phone support for the iPhone is only 90 days, whereas the warranty is 1 year. Apple Care Plus extends both to 2 years. Those are the Apple standards, but could differ in your country. To understand that, you would need to look up the warranty info for your country. You can find that at http://www.apple.com/legal/

Refurbished iMac...anybody have experience with quality level?

I am considering buying a new machine and buying a refurbished product to save a few bucks. Has anybody out there had experience with the level of quality on these machines? Thanks!

Welcome to the discussions!
While I do not have a refurbished iMac, my BlackBook is a refurb and has been performing very well since I bought it back at the end of June.
It came in the plain brown box, but everything arrived in flaweless condition and it even smelled new.
Since it comes with the same one year warranty that a new unit does and you still have the option to extend that to three years with AppleCare, they are a great deal.
Bmer has a friend that received a bend MacBook Pro (or maybe it was a PowerBook) that Apple promptly arranged for a repalcement, but that is the exception rather than the rule. By and large you will receive a unit that is every bit as good as a new one, but save money.
Another thing to mention is that some users report receiving upgrades at no additional charge. Apple advertises the base configuaration and then ships out that they have in stock. That may mean extra RAM or a larger hard drive, but do not count on it. For that reason, I sugest waiting to receive your MB before ordering any upgrades.
