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.

  • How do I transfer from Persona to Firefox accounts if I am a developer?

    Okay, I've read this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1063153 and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-firefox-accounts-manage-your-marketplace-apps
    it says, just click on 'Sign in now to transfer your account' to transfer. But, guess what? There is no 'Sign in now to transfer your account' anywhere!!
    I'm a programmer and I'm getting really pissed because I don't have access to my app anymore. This is very messed up. Is it because I missed the cut off date??? Because the email I got said I'd get an activation link to transfer from Persona to Firefox, but I never did..
    Please advise!! I cannot in good faith recommend to anyone that Firefox OS development is a good idea at this point until this gets resolved because its messed up!!

    Hi moesingh,
    Are you able to sign in to either of the sites below?

    If so, do you get any messages about transferring your Sync to Firefox Accounts? Please let us know if you see any error messages so that we can investigate.

  • I purchased my iPad and the apple care insurance from apples website, i received my iPad but didn't receive my apple care papers, should I have received any paperwork for that?

    I purchased my iPad and the apple care insurance from apples website, I received my iPad but didn't receive my apple care papers, should I have received any paperwork for that?

    When purchased together, AppleCare is automatically activated and applied to your device, so no proof or registration is usually required. Apple usually sends documentation of coverage after a few days, though. If you didn't receive the documentation, it may have been lost in the mail. You can confirm coverage here:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    If that doesn't show the correct coverage (the expiration should be two years from your date of purchase) and it's been at least a couple of weeks since you purchased, call Apple support, ask to speak with someone in AppleCare Plan Administration, and explain the mistake to them.
    Regards.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 to replacement iPad

    I was wondering if someone could help me with this question?
    I recieved the iPad 3. This had a screen issue so I contacted Apple, and chose the Express Product Replacment. The advisor told me it carries a £29 fee but if I decided to take out the Apple Care package, then it would be free. I decided to pay the £69 for the Apple Care Plan.
    Now on the Apple Care Protection Plan Certificate email that I received it shows the serial number for the faulty iPad that I returned. I was wondering, will I need to contact Apple to get the serial number altered to the serial number for the replacement iPad?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks both. I'll wait till the paper work comes for the Apple Care (I think the agent told me I should receive it in around 5 days) and then I'll contact them to update the details. Thanks again its much appreciated

  • Money transfer from personal to business account

    Hi, I'd like to get invoices, but Skype manager account I created after I spend some money on personal account. I bought number, I bought credit, but it stays on my personal account, how can I get invoice for that? How credit can be transfered from my personal to my business Skype account to get proper invoices?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    Well, at the time the original poster posed their question, I was not regularly checking in on this message board ...
    Regardless of the types of accounts in question, Skype does not permit transfers of credit or subscriptions amongst or between accounts even if the account "owner" is the same.  While this may seem inconvenient, this protocol is for our safety and protection and is an important anti-fraud protocol.
    Credit and subscriptions for "child" accounts are purchased by the Skype Manager "parent" account.  While personal accounts can be "adopted" into a Skype Manager account, the credit and subscriptions affiliated with the "adopted" account would stay with the adopted account.
    Invoices can be found in the Show Purchase History section of your account details.  Click on the Order Number to obtain a pdf invoice and then click Download this as a printable invoice.  You can also save the pdf file.  Please note, subscriptions renewed by debiting credit do not have the option to download the debit as a printable invoice.
    Best regards,
    Elaine

  • If i buy iPhone from verizon can i still purchase apple care

    If I buy my phone from verizon can I still purchase apple care plan from apple?

    You sound really certain about this -- but Apple's current info page for AppleCare+ says "AppleCare+ must be purchased together with new covered equipment." (bottom of this page: http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html )
    And AppleCare isn't one of the "accessories" Verizon seems to let you order with the phone. So wouldn't this mean it's impossible to order it from Verizon and get AppleCare?

  • Apple care worth it?

    I usually don't buy extended warranties and such, but is it worthwhile to get the one yr extension via apple care (3gs)?

    Personally, I don't think its worth it for several reasons:
    1) AppleCare just extends the normal warranty by a year - meaning that it only covers manufacturing defects and hardware failure due to those defects. The vast majority of problems that will happen to a mobile phone - damage due to scratches, dropping, cracked glass, etc - won't be covered.
    2) If warranties didn't make businesses money then they wouldn't be sold. Clearly, phones replaced under warranty cost Apple less than the monies they pull in from warranty sales. Based on simple probability, you will have to replace items on occasion but you will cover that cost by your savings from not buying the warranties.

  • Can I get apple care with a contract phone?

    Hi I have a mobile business contract with EE and just wondered if I could take out applecare on the phone instead of using the mobile providers insurance??
    Does anyone know if this is possible?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Call Apple care and ask ,personally I cannot see why not you have limited time toi purchase AppleCare +( in UK )
    be aware Apple care does not cover loss ,theft etc it is a warranty extension not an insurance for all risks
    and in reality most iPhones are on "contract " of one sort or another

  • Apple Care - Coverage for broken display? iPhone 4S

    Hi,
    next week I get my new (first) iPhone from Vodafone (Germany). An iPhone 4S, and as all know, the display is very critical. My old phone, fell very often down, but it was an HTC desire and so nothing happen. But I think, with a iPhone 4S I have not so much luck.
    That the reason, why I think about Apple Care. Is there a Coverage for broken displays?
    Or do I need Apple Care+? If I need Apple Care+, is this available for germany? Because I don't see it at the german page. I think I can buy it, but accept the apple care+ me from germany?
    And second question. Do I need the Apple Care for the first year of my iPhone? Because it's free for the first year if I understand it right, and then can buy it for the second year? Or do I understand it wrong? If this it right, again: are broken display covered for the first free/included year?
    Thanks for your help
    schnuffi

    Broken displays are only covered if they were a factory defect at the time of purchase. Otherwise, they result from user negligence which is not covered under the warranty.
    AppleCare Extended warranty is an addition to the one year default warranty. You can purchase AppleCare Extended Warranty any time before the one year factory warranty expires which is one year from date of purchase.
