Apple Care on MacBook
Hi all, it's me again..
Just wondering if any of you guys know when the 1 year free warranty / 90days actually start? At the day of online order or day of arrival?
+ Is it worth to buy the AppleCare on the MacBook?
I didn't have one on my G5..and don't know if the AppleCare is really useful or not... Please let me know, Thanks a lot

It starts from the day the computer is registered.
+ Is it worth to buy the AppleCare on the MacBook?
It's really up to the individual.

Does apple care cover macbook air cracked screen
ddoes apple care cover macbook air crack screen
It is very common knowledge and very clearly stated in the AppleCare agreement that AppleCare does not cover damage from accidents, but only manufacturing defects.

Hey, If I purchase a macbook can I buy Apple care like 2 months later?. It isn't that cheap and I want to purchase 2 gig of RAM first...
You have up to a year to purchase Applecare, though after 90 days you won't have phone support until you purchase it. That is, they'll ask you for a credit card number after 90 days if you need to know how to empty the trash. If you have a repair issue, you won't be charged (unless they find that it really isn't a repair issue after all).

Does apple care for macbook pro cover water damage?
I just wanted to know if apple care for Macbok pro covers water damage. I mean, it should seeing as I paid over $200 for it.
No. AppleCare is an extension to the warranty. The warranty does NOT cover damage only material and workmanship of the ortiginal product.

Need help, or else will lost my Rs.15k.
It could be as simple as a glitch with their server; but, we don't know for sure, so I'd suggest calling Apple (800-275-2273 in the US) and telling them that you want to register Applecare (tell them the website is not responding). You have 364 days from the date of purchase of your computer to register.
What do you mean by "lost my Rs.15k."? -
Apple Care for Macbook Pro 15''
I know this question has been asked a million times but i really do not know whether i should buy it or not. Its less than 10 days before the warranty expires and i still do not know whether i should or not. Nothings much been wrong with my macbook its just sometimes the airport goes funny but after i go to the diagnostics thing, it gets fixed up and occassionally whenever the macbook is asleep, i remember once or twice the screen was black and i had to restart the computer and everything was fine afterwards...should i buy it or not? i have 3 days to decide!
Its just $429 for applecare (AUS) is quite expensive for another 2 years - but i'm scared something will happen as i use the macbook EVERYDAY (always putting it to sleep - is this good for the mac?) and i'm planning to take it to uni next year. My mum says not to buy it cos its so expensive for another two years. And if you guys say buy off ebay - how do you know its authentic? And if like something does happen (touch wood) how much do repairs cost? (e.g. the battery, display, airport or something inside)? How long does the macbook last?
What should i do? Pleaseee help me decide, i really do not know!! Also, if you purchase it the day before it expires, will it still work? Thanks in advance!You can purchase it any time before the 1 year warranty expires.
Part of this is a matter of if you can afford a repair to a computer. Some prefer to pay up front for peace of mind. Notebook repairs are expensive! With everything being soldered together to withstand movement they have to replace whole sections, not just a little plug-in card.
Desktops from years ago lasted longer. My 10 year old G4 is still running strong. Frankly I don't think you'll find any 10 year old notebooks out there, and moreover, you won't see many of today's delicate notebooks around in 10 years. I recall one person posting here saying that notebooks have a nominal 3 year lifespan. Oh, they do last longer, but they aren't as robust as older computers, nor (dare I say it) designed to last as long since a computer that's more than 4 years old is thought by a major computer company to basically be on its way to the recycling center.
Notebook computers are not as easy to repair as desktop models from 10 years ago. I can swap out a drive in a matter of minutes in my computer. A notebook drive involves probably 30 screws and gently prying delicate items apart. -
I have a MacBook OSX 10.5.8 and a Time Capsule 500GB since July 2008. My problem is (for the 4th time in 4 yrs) the backup gets stuck in "preparing" indefinitely (hours). In the past, wile still under apple care warranty, tech support had me redo backup (loosing previous backups). Now I'm out of warranty and still having this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I bought my 15" macbook pro just a year ago and my battery life runs out extremely quickly. This started maybe a month or two ago. Its hard to tell. I only noticed the rapid change recently. Fully charged it says I have 2:27 (2 hours and 27 minutes) of usage time...with about 50% screen and keyboard brightness.
I've checked inside system preferences and its cycle count is 261 and full charging cap is 6316.
I have apple care...is this something i can/need to take up with apple. You'd think if you pay the price for these machines you should get mroe use out of them.
ONLY A YEAR I'VE HAD THIS!
My PC lasted 4 years before the battery showed signs this dramatic of wear.
Any help is appreciated, im new mac owner. thanks.do you have a mbp with dual video cards? running the system with the higher end card increases the heat and also drains batt power.
i have the 1st gen unibody (2008) with an original removable battery of 311 cycles and 4453 charge. under normal use ill be happy to get 1.5hrs. the mac battery counter thing says i have 3.3hrs though (whatever). compared to me, i think you use your battery more than i do, perhaps its the reason why it degraded so fast in a year? -

Scratched on the back of my MacBook Pro, can I get this fixed with Apple Care?
Hello community,
today I found out there are some scatches in the back my aluminum MacBook Pro. There is one fairly deep scratch. This has probably happened in my backpack since I use it for school.
My question is: is this something Apple Care will help me fix? If not, how much will it cost to get a completely new back.
Regards,
Alwin.That damage is not covered by AppleCare.

I need information ASAP on what I should do with my MacBook Pro , am I able to just give apple the money for the apple care cost and they'll fix problem
It's too late, at this point, to get AppleCare, unless you purchased the machine on or after February of 2011 - and then you'd only have a few months, at best, of extended warranty.
The best thing that you can do is to either diagnose the symptoms and fix the machine yourself or take it into an Apple Store or AASP and have them diagnose and fix the problem(s).
If your profile is correct and you're running 10.5.8 then you should get disc one that came with your machine and boot from it and run Disk Utility's Verify and Repair commands on your hard drive. If it fails, you'll know that the problem is most likely with the hard drive.
Good luck,

Activating my macbook pro 13" Apple Care protection plan
I purchased my macbook pro 13" in February 2011 from JBHIFI. I have not been using my laptop much and only recently opened up the original box for the laptop and found the apple care protection plan I had purchased with it, however not activated.
And so, I've tried activating it online providing registration & serial numbers, however it says the following when I try and activate it;
"We apologize for any inconvenience, but registration for this product requires additional documentation. Please submit your proof of purchasefor review by Apple. If your registration is accepted, your product will be covered."
- I click submit your proof of purchase
- which then asks me "Please provide your mailing address and describe the reason for your submission."
After that it then asks me to provide the following information...
Gather your sales receipt (with the receipt number, product description, original date of purchase, and reseller details).
Gather the documentation that includes the agreement number for your AppleCare product, if applicable.
Tell us how you want to send your proof of purchase.
The problem is, i NO longer have the receipt, and so can not pass this stage. Why is the registration process being difficult for me?
If it helps, I tried registering over and over, not realising I had been pressing 1 key wrong (about 4 times).
Help would be appreciated, thanks.ah... I'll have to wait till tomorrow... they are closed today.

Sorry, no. Apple-care must be purchased within the first year of ownership.
