Apple Product Registration

I just tried to register my Macbook and Time Capsule online.
When it got the end of the process it said it would like to offer me one of two 'gifts' for registering my products, I think it was a few issues of MacWorld and some other magazine. 'No thanks', I thought, 'I don't need anything delivered to my home, killing trees and all that, plus getting plugged into that whole magazine list trading world.
Anyways, I don't think they give you a chance to say no, they only give you a chance to select one of two magazines. I panicked at that point and started to his the back page button and regretted trying to register my products. I've got receipts anyways, and I've signed up with AppleCare and they seem to have the serial number of my mac when I call for support so maybe the product registration process is a red herring anyways just to get you to pick between to Apple magazines.
Am I wrong? Was there a way to opt out of getting one of two magazines when you register your products? If there isn't that was the first time dealing with Mac was unpleasant and greasy. If there is a way, never mind.
Cheers

In my case, I chose the MacWorld magazine, and somewhere along the registration process it said that I could choose a digital subscription in which no magazine would be delivered to my door. However, if you did not fill out any of the forms for information after clicking one of those subscriptions, it won't get delivered to your door.

Apple product registration/ apple iPad 2 accessories

How to register Apple accessories like IPad dock, iPad camera connection kit?
As u know, the product inside comes with a paper tht states 1 year warranty!
But when I go to apple product registration page to register my products, I couldn find the names of those apple accessories!
I could only find products like iPad 2, apple tv when browse thru the list!
I bought so many apple accessories but yet I couldn register a single of it!
Please help!

But then, if my apple accessories is spoiled in the future, how am I suppose going to make a claim?
If u didn't register, how they know u bought the product is still within the 1 year?
Other ppl can simply just say that he bought it recently but in fact, his is over 1 year already!
And if really spoiled before the 1 year, how to make a claim?

I could not log-into "Apple Product Registration"

Can someone help please???
I've been trying to log-into "Apple Product Registration", it kept saying wrong password or OD, i double check it was not wrong. Just could not enter this site. HELPPPPPP!!!

Same thing happened to me after I first got the iMac. I put the restore disk in and did an "Erase and Install" and it worked fine. I did not lose anything because I hadn't installed any programs yet. If you have a lot of stuff installed already you might try "Archive and Install", not sure if that will work or not. Good Luck!!

Apple Product Registration Listing

If someone could point me to the correct forum to ask this, I'd appreciate it.
I know you can go to www.apple.com/register to register your various Apple hardware, but I'm trying to find where I can see a list of which products I've already registered. I checked both my Apple IDs but couldn't find anything except my AppleCare Protection Plan registrations.

Bummer. I just registered my Newton MP 2100, and then suddenly had the idea I may have registered it last year under a different Apple ID. Well, if Apple doesn't keep that close a record of who has registered what, I wonder how they know it is a legit registration? After all it is possible I've registered the same item twice now.

hi, i have recently (on the 23rd of february 2014) purchased an apple ipod touch 5th generation from rakutens play.com. i would like to register my ipod for the apple hardware warranty (1 year). any help please? thanks in advance.

The Apple Product Registration website is closed.
If you’re trying to register an Apple product, chances are it’s already registered. Most Apple products can be registered when you turn them on for the first time and begin the setup process. Service and support for your Apple product are linked to its serial number, so it’s OK if you don’t register it. If you'd like to check the service and support coverage for your Apple mobile device or computer, click here.
ll you can do is check your coverage as roaminggnome said

Product registration help

Hello all,
I need to find my registration information for some Apple products that I purchased online. Of course, there is no email record of a QuickTime Pro purchase and that's what I need.
Does anyone know how to find registration information online?
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I thought I'd start here. Feel free to redirect me, if needed.
Thank you!

System Preferences->QuickTime->Register should have your Pro information.

Product Registration doesn't accept the Serial Number of my Time Capsule

Hi,
I've bought a Time Capsule 500GB a couple of months ago (at Apple Store - Fort Lauderdale) and several times I've tried to register it's Serial Number at Apple's Product Registration website. I always get the same error when I type the SN: "We could not recognize the serial number you entered. Please re-enter it, making sure each letter or number is correct."
The problem is that I've checked the SN several times (physically at the bottom o TC and via AirPort Utility) and the SN is CORRECT.
Have anyone faced this problem before?

I just had this problem today. I received my TC for Christmas and my parents bought it a week before the holiday from my local apple store (Norfolk, VA). I have been having other problems with my TC and wanted to get online support, that's when I first discovered the problem with the SN. I attempted to register it online with my already existing apple ID and it still didn't work. I finally called tech support. I didn't tell the guy I was having problems registering it with the SN, he typed it into his computer and didn't say anything. After attempting to trouble shoot my other problem I told him about the issue with the SN. He did say that when he put in my current SN that it brought up a message saying that there was "no support" for my TC. I had read that there is complimentary phone support for a certain amount of time for Mac computers and iPhones, but I guess there is not for the TC (what BS!!). Either that or he kept saying that my parents must have "bought it early." I didn't ask this, but I should have, if that meant that there was no warranty on it?? But anyhoo, long story short (sorry for rambling) because he put in my SN and my existing information it automatically registered everything and when I logged back onto apple.com and went to get online support (because the problem wasn't fixed) my TC was now listed as my registered products. You may just have to call like I did. I have no clue why though??

Problem with Apple Care Registration Process

My MacBook warranty will expire pretty soon. So, I ordered my Apple Care Protection Plan from Apple online store in Thailand since September 9, 2009. It arrived this morning (September 15, 2009).
When I try to register Apple care for my machine, Problem was starting. I do following on screen process, put my Macbook Serial No. and Apple Care Protection Plan registration No from package. Screen Show "We're sorry, but this registration number is not valid. Please check your information and try again."
I tried to contact Apple Care representative in Thailand. He was kindly enough to ask Apple online Store about this. He came back with answer that there are some problems about Apple care registration and I have to wait for week for response!!
Why product from apple online have this kind of problem? And customer have to wait for one week without knowing anything!!

You should be fine. The good thing is 1) you bought it from Apple and 2) you have contacted them about it before your initial warranty expired. Just be sure to follow up with them. If you haven't done so... you may want to give them a call back just to get a case number so you can have something to reference in case they don't get the problem sorted out before you warranty expires.

Proof of Product Registration

I'm trying to purchase Safeware insurance for my macbook. I called them up and they said all I needed is proof of product registration for my macbook. This macbook was a gift so I do not have the original receipt. I asked if I could simply print out my warranty status from Apple's website, they said no, I need some sort of proof of registration. I already registered my macbook, and received a confirmation, but the confirmation doesn't have any unique serials, not even my name or address, so I do not think this is going to fly with Safeware insurance. How do I get proof of product registration?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I would recommend calling back and speaking to someone else at your insurance company and explaining the situation. Another possible solution is if the gift is recent you can ask the "giver" for a gift receipt that they can get from the seller they bought it from.
You can also contact Apple directly and pose your question, we're users just like you so in this case I think going right to the horse's mouth (Apple) you have a very legitimate question.
Regards,
Roger

Help getting help with iTunes (or, the elusive product registration number)

My almost brand-new iPOD classic is now useless because iTunes no longer works on my Vista 64. It was fine for a while. Now, when my computer starts up, I get an error message that reads:
iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes Error 7 (Windows error 14003).
I tried all the obvious stuff, and then decided, what the heck, I'm a paying customer, I'll get some online help for Apple. But much to my frustration and rage, I can't get any help without my product registration number. I can't read the microscopic number on the back of my iPod, and because i can't open iTunes, I can't find my registration number that way. Do you know, you can't even call Apple without the product registration number? So I can't get any help. I'm so frustrated. I got my iPod on Airmiles, so I don't even have a bill.
Is there any other way to find my registration number?

hi dan,
i am using iWeb for a non .Mac account! the reason behind is that external hosters offer better online space and loading times than .Mac. Yet on the other hand, the iDisk, Web-Mail, Addressbook and iCal features that are offered with .Mac make the 99€ a year quite worthy!
i myself do not use .mac because my website is simply to large and the prices are not accepteable that .Mac offers for more space!
the next thing is that your .Mac account username will be in you URL and you cannot stay anonymous! your address will be something like this:
http://web.mac.com/USERNAME
so now you will share your username with the whole wide world! the other thing is that iWeb was designed to work hand in hand with .Mac. This means that some cool feature fall off when you publish externally, meaning to a different host, eg.: 1and1, godaddy, strato. These features include Slideshows, Password-Protection, Blod-Search and other small things!
yet when you still choose to go for .Mac - no one will get your address unless you tell them what the address is! it is extremely hard to find, if not impossible, your .mac address under Google or Yahoo! So your username is somewhat protected!
Here are some good hosters:
http://godaddy.com
http://1and1.com
http://strato.de (german)
you practically have to also see for your country what hosters offer. 1and1 is extremely cheap and is over the world! Yet when you choose to have a external host - then you have to pay extra and if you close your .Mac account you cannot buy music in the itunes store!
here is a very good FTP program to upload your files to a different host:
http://cyberduck.ch

i hope that helped!

HT1863 where is my apple care registration number located on?

where is my apple care registration number located on?

If you purchased the physical AppleCare Plan box from the store, these instructions will help you find the registration number.
If you purchased AppleCare while buying an Apple product, then it is auto-registered to that Serial Number. You can check the registration by going here and entering your serial number, IMEI, or MEID for your product. You should get an email with the registration number, but if you do not, you can contact Apple to get it.

Stolen Apple Products

Hello,
I lost a number of apple products in an armed robbery. (Iphone4, ordinary Iphone, Ipad2 and Mac Book). I have serial numbers for Iphone4 and Ipad, but I cannot yet locate the numbers for MAC and Iphone 3G
Is it possible for Aple to block these rodcuts from being used by the thieves or recognise the products if they are presented to Apple for registration?
Can the GPS in these machines be able to track where the gadgets are located geographically?
Will apprecaite your collective wisdom.
John

Sorry to hear about the loss, but no, Apple cannot block the use of any of those devices and, in absense of a request directly from an authorized law enforcement agency, cannot report registration attempts. Your cell carrier may be able to block the IMEI for the iPhones; you'd have to ask the carrier.
As to tracking the devices, if you set up the Find My iPhone/iPod/iPad service prior to the theft, then there is a chance that the devices can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the device is turned on, connected to either the 3G or a WiFi network, and has not had the service disabled or the device been completely restored). If you did not set up the Find service, then there is no way to track it. There is at this time no way to track a MacBook unless you installed third-party tracking software in it.
Regards.
P.S. This forum is for questions about QuickTime. Just so you know.

I want to donate my computer and want to delete my name from the online product registration and the name of my house icon.

There are two final deletions I must make before I give the computer away. How can I delete my name from the online product registration of my computer, and from the house icon?

Hi, Michelle. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You can create a new administrator account (System Preferences > Accounts; I'd name it "New User" or the user's name if you know it). Sign out and sign in with the new account. Once you're sure the new account is working okay, you can delete your old account. This removes your name on the house icon (your user account).
Unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to get away from the online product registration, but it's never been an issue for me. I've bought several iBooks on eBay and never worried about the product registration. Any time I called in for service under AppleCare, I just told them I bought the iBook on eBay, and it was never questioned further than that.
If you're worried about security, you may want to restore the iBook to like-new condition using the Restore disc(s) that came with the iBook, using the Erase option. Choose the correct link (depending upon which iBook model it is) from the following Apple Knowledge Base article: How to restore your Apple software.

What is the best home set up for a family to share/use apple products

Hi, I am relatively new to apple (have an iPad) and having been a PC user for years I was pleasantly surprised with the apple experience and am now trying to work out the best set up for me, my husband and young son as I am buying them both of them apple products this Christmas. New Mac laptop/ ipad for hubby and then an ipod touch for my son oh and a new mac laptop for me. We are also thinking of moving from Blackberries to iPhones. Yes we seem to be hooked! but i am unsure about the home family set up and how to replace my PC network that I run off an 8TB server.
In reading the forums I keep seeing people talk about problems they have with two apple IDs and trying to merge them. I have also heard about a family ID allowing us to share apps legally. I am really nervous of setting us up wrong and then having problems later and hence i am now looking for some advice on how to share as much as we can legally but also make usage practical and not invading each others privacy. thoughts so far:
Music - I think we are happy to share the same music and access using one ID (we currently don't buy much music from apple but have lots of CDs we share).
Photos - It would be nice to share photos - as long as my son or husband cannot accidentally delete photos of mine (which is my biggest concern). I currently load all camera photos onto my 8TB storage box as the network owner and my husband has full access to copy any photo to his laptop but can never delete the original copies by accident.
Apps - If possible i would like us to share these but they are cheap enough these days to separate if really needed. Would be good to share licence for pages etc though
cloud, contacts, facetime, email - this is what is making me consider separate IDs or learning how to have multiple users in one apple ID - I do not want to have to share synced contacts with my husband. I have near 300 contacts now through work etc and he will not want them plus i will not want his or him being able to delete mine by mistake. and then for email and facetime, well I want to give him his privacy so I do not receive his messages etc. especially now that we are considering switching to iPhones
Then last but not least, i don't know the best solution for my son. he is only 7 years old so even though I don't want to pay for things again I don't want him being able to download "just any" app from the purchased icon in Appstore. Also, is there a child friendly setting to prevent him from viewing inappropriate content on the internet?
Appreciate I have asked a lot of questions here but I am looking for any genuine advice out there. Thank you in advance to any potential advisers.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You don't need to use the same ID on a device for iCloud and iTunes.
iCloud covers mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, notes, bookmarks, photostream, document syncing etc and for these I recommend you each have your own ID's, this will stop others from having access to and likely more importantly being able to edit or even delete your personal information.
Someone of Age needs to be responsible for an account, so for younger children you will need to create and be responsible for an account yourself but let the child use it.
For iTunes you could use a single account so everyone can share music and apps or you could use separate accounts (there are ways to share content between users, Apple provides homesharing to do this).
When choosing how to proceed with iTunes, it might be worth remembering that someday your children will reach 21 (or whatever age they feel they have become independent) and will likely want their own account, changing accounts later may make it difficult to access previous content.
Photostream now has shared albums, so you can share just what you want with others. Shared photos using shared albums cannot be deleted by others with different accounts, but if you all shared the same account they could be.
Facetime and messages can also use an ID independently of each other, iCloud and iTunes. Separate ID's are recommended for these, joint accounts can be problematic.
iTunes has parental controls for youngsters, however at 7, I suggest you don't reveal the password to him and enter it yourself when he needs to purchase something, otherwise you may receive unexpected bills.
