Apple TV Recall without Applecare

Hello,
I have a 3rd Generation Apple TV with a serial number and wifi connectivity problems that match the current replacement program.  However, I do not have applecare protection, and I'm over 100 miles from the nearest Apple Store.  Does anyone know how I can confirm that my Apple TV does indeed fall under the replacement program without having to purchase an AppleCare subscription (or pay $20 to talk to an Apple rep)?  It doesn't seem right that Apple would charge $20 or $30 to talk to rep and confirm that one of their products was indeed faulty (an issue they have acknowledged).  Any help would be appreciated!  Thanks.

perhaps its called something else after all its not actually a recall its a replacement program as I understand it. Recalls usually relate to danger in operation. Just a stab in the dark.Warranty issues should be addressed by apple whether you have  extended warranty or not but it may depend on your country of residence and local laws as well.
I agree completely - if it's under warranty and not working properly Apple or whoever sold it should repair/replace or refund.

  • If I go in store will I still get an extended warranty (without AppleCare) for my Macbook Pro as a student?

    I am buying the 15" Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display (2.3GHz Quad-Core Intel i7, 16GB, 512GB flash storage...) which is £2,199. I'm going to University and so therefore I am apparently entitled to a 15% discount which makes the price £1869.60. 
    I went into the store today and double checked this, and the man confirmed it and told me about AppleCare and how it can be purchased for around £40 which extends the warranty to 3 years. As far as I'm aware, without AppleCare, the standard macbook comes with a complimentary 1 year for service and repairs, and 90 days telephone support. I have heard that, if you buy it as a student, the 1 year for service and repairs is automatically extended to 3 years, but the phone support stays the same - is this the case if you purchase it in-store? I know there is the 'Education Store' on the Apple website, but can I still be within the 'Education Store' contract if I purchase the MBP from the store?
    I basically want to know if I will get the exact same offer from the 'Education Store' if I go into the store, or if I'll end up with a better offer if I go and use my university's network/call the store and purchase it that way?

    Students get the same warranty as any other purchaser.  In Europe, some jurisdictions mandate that the warranty be for two years.  Check to see if that applies in your country.  If you want Apple care, that will be an extra cost option.

    It should not make any difference.
    Ciao.

  • Im trying to register my MBP adn applecare, but I believe I already registered it without applecare.  Is there anyway I can re-register it? The warning reads: "already registered"

    Im trying to register my MBP with applecare but i registered it already without applecare.  is there anyway i can add applecare to it?  it wont let me and has a error message that reads: "hardware already registered"

    Register over the phone by calling Apple Customer Relations (800) 767-2775.  Wait for a human to come on the line and ask politely and firmly that you want to be transferred over to the Customer Relations department.

    How do I change my apple id email without the password? I really need help.

    You don't. You'll need the password to that Apple ID to get in and make any changes to the account. If you've forgotten the password, go here:

  • I am buying a new macbook pro but i want to fit my own ram memory and solid state hard drive , will apple permit this without voiding the waranty.

    i am buying a new macbook pro but i want to fit my own ram memory and solid state hard drive , will apple permit this without voiding the waranty.

    yes you can do it and not void the warranty.  Those are the only hardware changes that Apple permits.  Instructions on how to upgrade the ram and remove and replace the hard drive are even included in the owners manuals for MacBook Pros.

  • HT5312 If I can't remember my security questions, and don't have a rescue email address, why can't I just add a rescue email to my apple ID account without having to contact iTunes Support?

    If I can't remember my security questions, and don't have a rescue email address, why can't I just add a rescue email to my apple ID account without having to contact iTunes Support?

    I verify my identity just by logging in with my password, not being able to add a rescue email address without answering the security questions is just extra hastle and doesn't increase security. No one knows my password so how could they break into my account? I understand having security questions to change your password but not for adding an email address.

  • Printing Apple Mail messages without header

    Is there a way to print the body of an Apple Mail message without the header information? I can do a copy paste into Pages and print it from there, but just wondering if there is a faster method. Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Until Apple implements the common-sense menu option of View -> Message -> No Headers, you'll have to open Mail's preferences, select the Viewing icon, and set "Show header detail" to "None". Once you've printed the message, you'll probably want to change that setting back to its original value.

  • Apple Battery Recall Wow

    Just saw breaking news. Apparently, apple is recalling 1.8 million batteries in laptops.
    Unbelievable. It's getting worse and worse.

    Ah, the trials and tribulations of volume manufacturing... Sony makes a battery with an unfortunate problem and duplicates it over, and over and over again... Good thing Sony will end up paying for it.
    ...Of course, the rampant speculation is the worst part.
