Applecare+ for iPad

My son who lives USA bought me an iPad in April 2013 for my birthday. It was bought using a UK credit card in an Apple store. The selling agent recommended applecare+ for the iPad. I live in the UK, unfortunately said iPad was dropped with the resulting screen crack. Looking on-line the warranty does not specify that it not an international policy, indeed the wording states that "Apple may honour the warranty". However that is not the case Apple UK refuse to honour the policy, stating that the 'Insurance Policy" is only valid in the country of purchase. An olive branch may be offered by Apple UK if you can get to an apple store; unfortunately I live i the north of Scotland, with the nearest Apple store being 130 miles away. The suggestion was to ship my iPad to the USA to my son get it repaired etc, or get it repaired in the UK or bin it. I see apple in the light of PPP at this stage, quite willing to sell the product, take the money then refuse to do anything. I would have thought it's not beyond the wit of Apple to have some transfer agreements in place to cover these situations.
Has anybody so far been able to get Apple UK to move on this situation

The warranty is NOT international otherwise the Apple documentation would explicitly say so.
Your least expensive option would be to send the iPad back to your son who can get it fixed under Applecare+. Back it up before sending. You will receive a replacement iPad.

  • A WORTHY CHOICE - APPLECARE+ FOR IPAD MINI OR A MILITARY STANDARD IPAD MINI CASE

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me which option will be a worthy choice in terms of overall economical gain - an applecare+ for iPad mini or a MIL-STD-810F certified iPad mini case?

    iCloud is designed to maintain app specific content (documents in Pages, for example), synchonization of some information (contacts, Notes) and to back up the iOS device.It will not serve you well as an "in the cloud" hard drive.That isn't its intent.And you cannot run applications from it.
    Any app or itunes item you purchase can be deleted from the iPad and re-downloaded at any time (assuming internet connectivity, of course), from thier respective stores. But, any data stored will be lost when you delete the app.
    For data, you can use cloud based service such as DropBox (within some limts).
    Games will vary greatly in size, but will be far smaller than video files.On a 16gb ipad, 6 movies might be pushing it, but you could probably mange 4 or so.
    The price difference between 16 and 32Gb is I beleive about  £80. You might be better of saving up a bit before making that purchase. The only otehr options (such as external Wifi enable hard drives for media) will run you considerably more than that.

  • AppleCare for iPad purchased from Amazon

    I'm about to buy a 64gb iPad Air and noticed that they're selling on Amazon for roughly £100 less than they cost if I bought it direct from Apple. If I bought the iPad from Amazon, would I still be able to buy AppleCare for it online or in the Apple store, as if I'd bought it from the proper Apple store?

    If it's AppleCare+ you mean, it doesn't matter where you buy the iPad, but it APP+ needs to be bought within 30 days of buying the iPad.  You need to buy it over the phone at the Apple store.

  • Applecare for ipad 2 not bought at apple

    So I bought a new ipad 2 online at a site that wasn't apple. I was wondering if I can still buy applecare for up to one year after I purchased this item or did I need to buy the item from apple?

    Unless the seller on eBay is an authorized Apple dealer - unlikely, but not impossible - then the warranty date starts from the date the seller purchased the iPad (or whatever date it was first purchased from an authorized dealer, whenever and by whoever that was). The date the warranty expires should appear if you enter in the serial number here:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    and you can determine the original purchase date from that.

  • Did you buy the Applecare  for iPad?

    Did you buy the applecare with your new iPad or planning to buy it? It says that for $99.99 CAN, it extends the warranty and technical support to 2 years. Plus it covers hardware damage but you have to pay extra $49.00 for service. I broke the glass from my iPhone before 1 day after I got it, Rogers told me that it will cost $400 for the repair, so I had to find a local person to repair it and it costs me $120.00 but I see some dusts trap inside it. Do you think for an extra $100, this is worthed?

    There are two kinds of apple care.
    Regular Apple care that has been for sale up to this last week and Apple Care +
    Regular Apple Care
    Can buy anytime in the first year's manufacturer's warranty
    Applies only to manufacturer's defects, does NOT cover accidental damage
    Any unauthorized repairs will void it
    Apple Care +
    Must be bought in the first 30 days after purchase
    (may/may not apply to the iPad 3 only)
    Covers up to 2 instances of accidental damage with a fee of $49 per incident
    I presume that any unauthorized repairs will void it
    What you got with yours was regular Apple Care, which infamously did not cover screen breakage. Most people  were quoted repair prices starting at $269 and up depending on model. And really it wasn't as much a repair as it was you being allowed to purchase a refurbished device to replace your broken one with.
    Apple Care Plus means that if you break your screen, you have up to 2 chances to only pay $49 for a replacement/Repair (no idea if they do the refurb swap or if they really fix it.....with the program in play only a week or so there's no real data available)
    I personally got the regular Apple Care. Apple Care + didn't exist a few months ago. I hadn't originally bought it, but after my new iPad's 30 pin port corked it on me (best buy replaced it) I realized that there are certainly batches out there with manufacturer's defects in them and the $99 was a relatively cheap insurance policy against me getting another device with errors in it. (my theory.....some factories aren't as good as others or get batches of bad pieces and parts, so you end up with some out there with errors in them)
    In your case, regular Apple Care wouldn't have helped you since it doesn't cover damage. however, Depending on how expensive the Care + is, if I had a new iPad I'd seriously consider it.

  • Will the applecare MC593Z be ok for iPad air2.

    I am looking to purchase Applecare for iPad air2 and was wondering if this product will be ok for it, as it appears to have been discontinued and replaced with Applecare+.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    It depends on how you like to do things. I have the 16G and that's perfectly fine for me, since I don't need to keep all my audio and video files on it--I don't at all mind syncing over what I expect to need.
    If you want to have access to everything all the time without syncing, then get a larger size.
    I didn't expect to want to watch movies on the ipad, either, but it's become my preferred medium for those. Still, I don't mind only having a few on there at a time.

  • Ipad Mini Replacement and wanting to purchase AppleCare for the replacement

    I have sent my iPad mini for repair of the screen and will be getting the replacement.  Can I purchase AppleCare for this replacement once I register and receive it?

  • AppleCare for my iPad?

    I bought an iPad on Craigslist and I was wondering if there was anyway to tell if it has AppleCare? I know most of you will say to ask the person I got it from. I'm working on it lol but if I can't reach him I was just wondering if there was any other way to tell? There's nothing wrong with the iPad but I just don't wanna go spend money on AppleCare for it if it already has it. First iPad so I don't know much about the AppleCare lol sorry if this question sounds newbie lol. Thanks!
