Apple care protection plan country specific?

Hi
Is the apple care protection plan (apple care plus) country specific?
can i buy iphone in one country and the apple care protection plan in another as I will be moving there?

Apple is said by other's experience to try to honor its warranty world wide in the countries in which Apple has an official presence. Apple does not have Authorized venders and service providers in every country.
Folks report the best warranty service with the GSM iOS devices. The CDMA devices are country/cellular provider specific and folks report that they are instructed to return them to the country of purchase for warranty service. For example, folks bought gray market Verizon iOS devices in Hong Kong and report that when they needed warranty service, Apple in Hong Kong told them that the Verizon devices could only receive warranty service in the US because Apple does not sell the Verizon model in any other country.

  • Can I purchase the "old" Apple Care Protection Plan for the iPhone 5S?

    Hi community,
    I have an iPhone 5S since day one of launch (september 20th 2013) and I want to purchase an Apple Care Protection Plan for it.
    As I remember it's possible to purchase it as long as the 1-year-warranty is running, so my time is limited :-)
    It seems as if the "old" Protection Plan doesn't exist anymore, there's only AppleCare+ for purchase.
    My problem is that AppleCare+ can only be purchased 30 days after the purchase of a new iPhone.
    Am I still able to get the "old" Protection Plan with the same conditions or is there no chance?
    Thanx-a-lot in advance!

    Call Apple care in your country they should advise you if you can purchase as you seem to have fallen between the two Plans if AppleCare+ was announced in your Country after the date you purchased your iPhone 5S
    Contact Apple for support and service

  • Can I buy an iPad in Asia and register the Apple Care Protection Plan in Europe?

    I want to buy the new retina iPad mini while I am in Hong Kong for my semester abroad but I want to have it protected with an Apple Care Protection Plan for when I'm back in Europe. I was told that the protection plan is region specific for iPads and that my iPad won't be covered in Europe if I buy Apple Care in HK. But, what if I buy the iPad in HK and buy Apple Care separately in Europe, when I'm back?

    The AppleCare+ plan is valid only in the US where you purchased the iPad. So if you want the $49 replacement price, you will have to send the iPad to someone you know in the US who can take or send it to Apple for you. Othewise you will have to pay Apple's full replacement price, assuming Apple India will even replace the iPad for you; if it's a WiFi+Cellular model you will probably have to send the iPad to the US in any case.
    Regards.

  • Difference between Apple Care Protection Plan?

    Hello,
    are there differences between the Apple Care Protection Plan for iPad with the id MC593D/A and MC593ZM/B? Is a replace device from Apple badder as a new device from a store?
    Greetings from Germany,
    appbazi

    Looking around, it looks like the MC593D/A is the one for Germany and the MC593ZM/B is the one for UK. I have seen different offers for Applecare in many different places and would recommend that you buy the one for your country, I guess in this case it is Germany. I know that Applecare prices in different locations are different but I think that this is one case where you should buy the one that you absolutely know to be correct and that comes from a legitimate dealer/reseller.
    I hope that this is of some help.

  • Apple Care+ for iPhone 5S & Apple Care Protection plan for MacBook

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding the apple care+ for iPhone and the Apple Care Protection plan for MacBook pro.
    Since I will soon be in Hong Kong, I intend to buy the iPhone 5S due to great savings compared to my come country.
    However, I have a question regarding the warranty which confuses me a bit.
    1) If I buy the iPhone 5S and the Apple care+, does that mean I will be covered world wide?
    I am from Denmark, and the applecare is currently not available from the Danish apple store. but does this imply that I will not be covered when I am in Denmark, in case of an incident?
    If not, what can one do? Should one ship it to an apple repair somewhere in a European country that is covered by the Applecare protection plan for iPhone?
    2) And the same question goes for the AppleCare Protection Plan for MacBook - will a MacBook with the protection plan bought from Hong Kong, and imported to Denmark, be covered world wide, or what limitations does it have?
    I was trying to look through the terms and conditions on the Hong Kong website, however, it does seem rather intransparent some times.
    3) Finally, I have a question about purchasing Apple equipment from the physical Apple store in Hong Kong. As I am a student, I would of course like to have the student prices - should there be any problems getting this price from the physical apple store, or can one only get it from online purchases? Is a valid student ID sufficient proof of student status?
    Regards,
    Michael

    Start here:
    Apple - Support - AppleCare+ - iPhone
    Apple - Support - AppleCare
    From each of those sites you should be able to discover what if any differences may prevail depending upon the country of purchase.
    Apple's warranties may not be honored outside of the country where the equipment was purchased. I have no way of knowing whether hardware purchased in Hong Kong will have a warranty honored in Denmark.
    If you have a valid student ID then the academic discount should be honored in the Hong Kong Apple Store.

  • What is the difference  between apple care protection plan and apple care

    What is the difference between apple care protection plan and apple care +

    apple care protection plan
    That is the extended warranty (total of 3 years including the standard warranty for the first year) for any Mac computer.
    apple care +
    That is the extended warranty (total of 2 years including the standard warranty for the first year) for any iDevice (iPad, iPhone, etc).
    For either, the standard warranty is usually referred to as hardware warranty (not Applecare); see an example for the warranty for an iMac:

    whereas the extended Applecare is referred to as that:

  • 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.

  • My MacBook Air is not being listed under the My Products tab after adding the Apple Care Protection Plan

    I purchased my MacBook Air from US in December 2013, my company paid for it, so it got listed under their account earlier. So I asked them to remove it from there account and then I added it back to my profile in January 2014. Then it was listed under My Products tab in the My Support Profile page. Later I bought Apple Care Protection Plan for this MBA, and registered that plan with my MBA's serial number and soon after that, MBA vanished from My Products. I thought it might take some time for it to get listed back again after adding the protection plan, but it didn't appeared for quite a long time and so now I am opening this support ticket.
    Now whenever I try to add my MBA again by clicking Register New Product, I am getting "According to our records, this serial number is registered to another Apple ID. If you have more than one Apple ID, log in to My Support Profile with that Apple ID to see your other registered products. Not sure if you have another Apple ID?" How can I get my MBA back into my profile?

    AppleCare does not cover accidental damage, but try taking it to an Apple Store and see what they say!

  • I use Pro Logic 9 and see that to upgrade to Pro Logic X I need to buy the full package again. Does apple offer special conditions for their Apple clients ? Are users of apple care protection plan better served ?

    I use Pro Logic 9.1.8.  and see that to upgrade to Pro Logic X I need to buy the full package again. Does apple offer special conditions for their Apple clients ? Are users of apple care protection plan better served ?

    Old saying applies here most of the time......
    "If it ain't broken, don't fix it"
    I choose to use LP9 with Snow Leopard myself (10.6.8 and 9.1.6) for most of my commercial work simply because I find that combo very stable and provides the best overall performance for my setups here... but I am also using LPX with Mavericks as part of my client support and that works fine too although with a drop in performance due to the heavier demands made on the hardware by the newer OS X and LPX graphic routines for example..

  • Explain me about Apple care protection plan validity and coverage in india

    Explain me about Apple care protection plan validity and coverage in india

    From what I have read in the past, because India has no formal Apple stores and relies on a  re-seller system that hardly justifies the name, getting warranty service is difficult.   Those who sell Apple products tend only to service the products they have sold.    If you import a Mac, for example, the value of the international warranty appears to be at the whim of these re-sellers and I have seen many examples where they simply delay any service almost indefinitely.   All you can do is make a nuisance of yourself with Apple's head office and hope they will put pressure on these errant sellers.
    The problem, it appears, is that the Indian government will not allow foreign companies to hold a controlling interest (or more than 50 %) of the shares ... as a result, I read, Apple will not open their own stores.

  • Apple care protection plan for macbook pro with retina display

    hi!!! i recently purchased macbook pro with retina display. Im curious about the apple care protection plan to extend the warranty of my macbook. I would just like to ask if the apple care protection plan includes battery replacement w/in  the next 2 yrs?

    it is like car insurance. You purchase it hoping to never need it. But thank your lucky stars for having it after the sheet metal goes CRUNCH!
    BTW, AC needs to be activated while the base warranty is in effect. This means you can wait till the last month or so and avoid having to plonk all the cash up front.
