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.

  • 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,

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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. 

  • 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/

  • 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.

  • How to contact Apple Care since the recall?

    Just my luck that I need Apple Care today of all days. You can't get through via telephone all you get is the message to call back. Need to see if I can get a new key board as the current is about half blank. Can't even get through on the support page trying to check my Apple Care status. With the battery recall every Apple website or telephone is jammed. Is there any way to contact Apple Care other than the telephone? Or do we just have to wait until next week when things calm down?
    At this point I can't even find out when my Apple Care expires and I know it's getting close to the end of the 3 years.
    Thanks for any help.
    Michael

    You could pop-in to the Apple retail store:
    http://www.apple.com/retail/countryclubplaza/
    The Mac Genius there can get a replacement keyboard for you. In addition, you can put your serial number in the field under "About Your Support Coverage" on the main Apple.com/Support Web page. This will tell you how much longer you have on your AppleCare Protection Plan. It seems to be working right now for me.

  • Can I buy an Apple care for a second hand machine which has recently expired its service coverage

    can I buy an Apple care for a second hand machine which has recently expired its service coverage

    While I don't know about the second hand machine consideration, Applecare needs to be bought during the first year while standard warranty coverage is in effect. Once that expires, you can't buy Applecare for a system.

  • How can I register Apple care for my iPad if my ipad's warranty is not expire yet?

    Apple care for my iPad will be expire in November 14, 2013. I want to extend my iPad's warranty. I already bought Apple Care warranty but when I register online it said I already had a warranty for my iPad. The question is, how can I extend my iPad's warranty? 

    You can only buy apple care once to extend your original warranty from one year to two. You can't keep reupping it every year if I'm understanding that's what you're trying to do.
    After your device is two years old it's out of warranty and not eligible for any warranty from Apple (some retailers sell you up to 3 years of coverage, but you had to get that with the device)
