AppleCare for macbook..is it still valid if I move to another country?

What happens to the validity of an AppleCare plan bought in one country if you then move to another? I was under the impression that for laptops the warranty is global, but in the terms and conditions of mine it says that it is only valid in the counties listed therein. I travel a lot with my job and and end up living for extended periods of time in different countries which is why I have a laptop, and when I bought my Careplan in Australia the man in the shop assured me that it didn't matter as I would be covered globally. I am currently in India where this plan is valid as it covers Asia, but what happens when I get posted to another country? Who do phone and where do I take my laptop if something goes wrong? I have registered it anyway as I have paid for it but I am worried that global doesn't actually mean that.

My macbook and AppleCare were bought and registered in the US, but I live in Europe. My macbook had problems with both RSD and discoloring, and an authorized repair center fixed both in Vienna without problems.
As I understand it (and it's not all that easy to understand) you are covered for the types of repair that Apple offers in the country where you bought the plan, because different countries insist on different requirements for warranties. Apple probably offers more than the minimum in each country, but different things are covered. If you bought your AppleCare in one country and are living in another and want it switched to the terms offered in that country, you have to send a bunch of documentation to Apple to have your residence officially changed. For now, I haven't bothered, and I had no trouble at all getting my macbook fixed in a country other than the one I bought it in.

  • Does Applecare for Macbook/iBook work with uMB?

    As the titles says, i just bought a AppleCare for Macbook/iBook from eBay. Is this guaranteed to work with my Unibody Macbook 2.0ghz? Late 2008 model. Thanks

    Guaranteed? No, probably not on eBay. But if you are shipped the correct (and genuine) part for AppleCare for MacBooks AND the registration number in the AppleCare box hasn't been used yet, it should work when you go to register.
    The source on eBay may or may not be reputable. Caveat emptor applies.

  • AppleCare for Macbook

    Hi,
    I've got AppleCare for my MacBook, and I bought it when I got the laptop (16 months ago). When the 3 years runs out, will I be able to buy another AppleCare package (for the same laptop) and get another 3 years warranty?
    Thanks very much,
    George.

    No, AppleCare Protection Plans can only be purchased and enrolled within the first year of the original sale. You can't enroll a second plan after that.

  • Buying applecare for Macbook Pro 15

    It's time for me to take care of my Macbook Pro 15" Retina (Late 2013) and buy an apple care plan.
    MY question is will the MC259ZM/A product number of Applecare work for my notebook?
    A friend of mine has it and is willing to give it to me for free :-). Found it in his old Macbook Pro BOX never used it so its mine.

    adtshd,
    if your friend’s MC259ZM/A AppleCare Protection Plan hasn’t been registered to any MacBook Pro, then it could be registered to yours. (Just because he hasn’t ever opened its box doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s never been registered.)

  • Renew Applecare for MacBook Pro

    My Applecare is about to expire for my MacBook Pro. Can I renew it?
    My battery life is starting to fade and I want to be able to make sure that it's covered.

    To put it more simply, Apple does not currently sell continuations of the AppleCare plan beyond its original 3 years (2 for iDevices.)
    Note that batteries are considered consumeables and thus even if you did continue the plan it would not be covered if beyond its useful life.

  • Is Applecare protection plan for Macbook Air bought in USA valid in India

    Is Applecare protection plan for Macbook Air bought in USA valid in India ?

    As I said above: "AppleCare is valid in the country in which it was purchased."
    So if you moved to the U.S. and the MacBook Air was purchased in the U.S., the warranty would be valid there (assuming all other warranty conditions are met; e.g., purchased within the past year).  Otherwise, the warranty is not valid.

  • HT5691 AppleCare for an old macbook pro

    it is winter 2014 now, i am planning to buy a mid 2012 macbook pro 15 in. do you think i can still buy applecare for it? I cant check if my mac is eligible yet because i don't have the serial number. I ordered it from amazon.

    Best way to check is with the serial number. If it is a NEW computer, then you should be able to. If it is a USED computer, then chances are slim.
    My recommendation: Call AppleCare once you get your computer and give them the serial number. Make sure you have your confirmation of Purchase as well.

  • Applecare for my MacBook Pro 2012?

    Hey guys, I have a MacBook Pro 2012 and I still have the warranty on. So I'd like to purchase AppleCare for it, to extend it for two more years. I'm in India and I have no idea if I have to buy a specific AppleCare for this MBP or if buying any AppleCare meant for MacBook Pro is good. Please help me, thanks.
