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.

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.

Where can i buy a NEW logic board for my macbook pro 2012?

My video card has recently failed, in this model video card is sticked to logic board.
Does anyone know where i can buy a NEW logic board? Its a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro

"Where" questions are more easily answered if you give your approximate location. Especially important if you live in the US because there is a low-cost repair option for which you can ask.
If you are out of warranty and you live in the US, the most cost-effective solution is a depot repair. Instead of fixing the computer in an Apple Store, it is sent to a central refurbishment center and they fix anything that's wrong (other than damage to the case and/or display) for a flat fee of around US$325. It takes about a working week but it is worth it. All the posts here from people who have availed themselves fo this option were glowing.

Is it worth Waiting for New MacBook Pro 2012..

I just got a new Macbook Pro , is it worth waiting till next 2012 when the new one comes out ?
Any idea what the new would look like in terms for configuration and design..

Thanks Shootist007,
I can customise my phone, tablet and mediaplayer as I like (thanks to the guys from XDA), it syncs and streams between my tablet and media player. I can integrate and transfer files, messages, contacts, etc between my phone, wifi media player and tablet without being stuck to an itunes interface. No funny apple conversion/compression tools required for viewing files across platforms, etc. It comes with most programs i use by default, hence no need to get much special or full version apps from the google market place. Dont get me wroing, Im not shooting down Apple, I just look forward to the day, they offer such functionality by default.
I dont mind not having usb 3, so thats ok, quite like thunderbolt. Its the retina display, and HD type that Im more concerned about. And rumours of them doing away with a dvd drive, I still wud like to have one, even in this day and age of wireless/cloud everything. Im sure by June, I would defintely have enought saved away for a 15"/17" model.
Yip, my iTunes library is a mess, only because I started it all wrong, having music folders all over the place, hence I need my own laptop to consolidate and start a fresh itunes library on a fresh laptop. Also since its a work laptop, I often have to delete stuff for space reasons.
Yes, as an IT Auditor I understand the concept of buying tech today, and by tommorrow its old :-)
Thanks for the feedback, I do appreciate it very much, and Im really keen to make the crossover to Apple (as 90% of my friends all have Apple macs or macbooks), then hopefiully I will crossover to the iphone, tablet, etc.

Applecare for 2011 macbook pro 17inch

HT5691 So should I wait to buy my applecare for my MacBook Pro until the one year warrantee is almost up?

Does it make a difference when you buy your applecare?

Thanks, I had forgotten that little but important detail!
I once considered Applecare for that specific reason and that is why it popped into my mind when I read the post. I trust that my contrary answer was not meant in any way a criticism of your response. Regarding its importance, that is to be determined by each individual. For me it is now moot since I did not purchase Applecare.

AppleCare for 13" Macbook Pro

My friend recently got his hands on a factory sealed applecare with model number MB587LL/A and UPC 885909242801. He failed to realize that he would need another package since he owns a 15" Unibody MBP. He has offered to let me have it for the same price he purchased it and I was wondering if anyone could confirm that the applecare model MB587LL/A works for the 13" Unibody MBP even though it only says that its for Macbook Air/Macbook on the front of the applecare packaging. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

How would I be able to get a hold of AppleCare without having complimentary phone service to begin with? Would anyone happen to have their number hand? Tried looking for a number on the apple website myself but found that I was always directed to services provided for those already having applecare or to pay to talk to them.

Do I need a type of anti virus software for my macbook pro(2012)?

I'm usually a Windows guy and I just switched to Macs. So I'm not used to Macbooks. Do I need a type of anti software for apple computers? If I do can you recommend me some or tell me how to maintain/prevent my mac from viruses, trojans, etc...

mende1 is correct: all you need is ClamXav, but here is the longer version:
There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.

Should i wait to buy applecare for my macbook pro until the one year warranty is almost up?

Would i benefit from waiting till the one year warranty is almost up. Because then i would maximize the time in which it is under warranty right??

If you get AppleCare before 90 days is up you also continue free phone tech support from Apple - so by getting it as early as possible you increase the time you can get free phone support. If you go past 90 days you won't be eligible for free phone support until you get AppleCare, but still get hardware warranty for the full one year from date of purchase.

Macbook Air 2014 Refurb or Macbook Pro 2012 Non-Retina Refurb?

Hi,
I'm a freshman in high school and need a laptop to bring to school. I'm debating the above. On the Air side, it has a longer battery life and is newer, but it's not upgradable. On the Pro side, it's more 'powerful' (GHz) I think it has turbo boost to 3.1 GHz. I have a Programming and Engineering class and want to run Parallels smoothly. I need parallels for Visual Basic and Java, maybe Inventor. I hope to use until college; Just a last side note, On the AIr I'm looking at the 8gb Ram model, so both MBs are $929

EDIT: I found beta drivers for the MacBook Pro 2012 NVIDIA GPU and one of the fixes is V-Sync problems, which is exactly my issue. However, when I try to install it, it will not work because it says no compatible hardware is found, even though it says it supports GeForce 650M GPUs, which is it pretty much saying I need to get the update from Apple. So, I guess my real problem is... What's the holdup Apple?

Intrepid ValueCAN3 usb2 type device not supported on Macbook Pro 2012 with USB3

I cannot use an Intrepid CS ValueCAN3 with a USB2 interface on a Macbook Pro 2012, which has a USB3 interface.
I am running Windows 7 Pro, Service Pack 1, under BootCamp 4.0
I keep my Window 7 Pro updated with Windows Update.
I called Intrepid CS, and they said there are issues with USB3 and support is needed by some computers that have USB3 interfaces.
The ValueCAN3 is an automotive diagostic tool, that interfaces to Windows computers via USB2.0.
More info at:
http://www.intrepidcs.com/
fhttp://www.hkaco.com/CAN/intrepid/ValueCAN3.pdf
The ValueCAN3 uses a FTDI serial-to-USB chip to handle communication.
FTDI chips make it easy to add a USB interface to a device.
More info at:
http://www.ftdichip.com/
Other devices, such as USB 2.0 flash drives, work fine.
Are other having problems with USB 2.0 devices on a MacBook Pro 2012?
Is anyone using a device that uses the FTDI chips?
Anyone have ideas to try?
I want to use this Macbook Pro for both Mac OSX and Windows.
I tell people I wanted a high-end Windows Laptop, so I bought a Macbook Pro to run Windows on it.
I have also call Apple for support, but they claim that this is not their problem to solve.

I was told that the Intrepid tools (ValueCAN3 and Intrepid neoVI Fire) that use a FDTI USB to serial interface, would work on Windows 8 on the Macbook. I wanted to avoid Windows 8. I broke down and installed Windows 8 Pro on the Macbook, installing over Windows 7. The two devices now work - but the trackpad does not work. I saw a reccomendation to install trackpad++, along with PPA (Power Plan Assistant), it does not work for my macbook pro 2012.
When will Apple support Windows 8? (an answer that will not be answered here)
The problem is basically Windows 7 does not support USB3, so I installed Windows 8 which does support USB3.
Now with Windows 8 Pro installed, the trackpad does not work.
I also cannot run the Windows Experience Index.
Status Summary:
I can use the USB3 ports under Windows 8 pro.
Intrepid USB2 based interfaces work now.
Trackpad does not work under Windows 8 Pro on the macbook pro (2012) using Bootcamp 4.0.
And Yes, I hate Windows 8 Pro. Windows 7 works, Windows 8 - I just don't get it.

I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

It's almost impossible. The new iMacs have a Target Display Mode, but it's built to do that. Without ripping your screen out, finding an acceptable power supply, frame, and whatever electronics to convert a Thunderbolt signal to the screen, the cost will be much larger than buying a cheaper HiDef monitor that runs with an HDMI to Thunderbolt cable to your MacBook 15. In fact, you can sell your 17" MBP for a lot of money, unless it's broken or something, buying you a really sweet monitor.
By the way, I found your answer by searching this forum. I would suggest using the search function here in the futuere.

PLEASE HELP me select new internal hard drive for Macbook Pro 2012 (non-retina)

Good afternoon.
I just bought a Macbook Pro 2012 (non-retina) 15 inch from a friend. I think it is running Mountain Lion (has not been upgraded to Mavericks yet), and has iLife on it. It came with the stock 500 gb 5400 rpm internal hard drive. At home, I only have the Snow Leopard OS installation Cds and a copy of iLife 2011 installation Cds. I am going to buy 16 gb of RAM from Other World Computing to install.
I want to replace the hard drive with a 1 tb hard drive, preferably something that is $100 or less.
I talked to Other World Computing (OWC) and looked at the Data Doubler Option to replace the optical drive with a Solid State drive, but decided that for now I want to keep the optical drive inside the computer for portability issues.
I know that Solid State drives are better, but they are still too small, and I want the ease and portability of a 1 tb size INSIDE my computer.
Initially I was going to order this from Other World Computing: 1.0TB 2.5" HGST Travelstar 7K1000 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 9.5mm Notebook Drive 32MB Cache. *'New' Factory Replacement with 2+ Year HGST Warranty*    As of April 4, 2014 it's on sale for $79
But then I started reading some of the discussions online and thought maybe I should get a hybrid solid state drive?
I saw on Amazon the Seagate 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive SATA 6Gbps 64MB Cache 2.5-Inch ST1000LM014 It's on sale for $94.
But according to some reviews, this Seagate has a platter that is only 5400rpm, unlike the previous Seagate Momentum that has a platter speed of 7200rpm.
How reliable are the Seagate, versus a Toshiba or Western Digital or Hitachi or something else?
Here are my questions about replacing the hard drive:
1. Is a hybrid solid state drive going to need some kind of special formatting after I put it into the macbook so that I can put the operating system on it?
2. Is a "normal" platter hard drive more reliable than a hybrid solid state drive?
3. Is there any additional driver or special software that I have to install for a hybrid solid state drive?
4. Currently there is no personal data stored on the computer. Can I just put the new hard drive in, and then insert the snow leopard install cd?
5. If I install snow leopard, can I just go to the App store and get the free upgrade to Mavericks?
6. If I want to do the "Data Doubler" option in the future and add a normal Solid State drive into my computer, will it have trouble interacting with the 1 tb hybrid solid state drive?
I would love to get some recommendations about the smartest option to upgrade my hard drive with something that will be fast (I edit lots of photos) and large (1 tb) that isn't going to cost too much. I don't know much about the different brands or options (and there are so many listed in tons of online reviews), that I got really overwhelmed and confused by the info out there.
I would really appreciate any help and advice. I've never switched out a hard drive before.
PLEASE HELP !!! Thanks!
Here is the "About this Mac" Info:
Macbook Pro 15-in Mid 2012
Model Identifier: MacBookPro9,1
Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Software: OS x 10.8.5
Storage (Hard drive): APPLE HDD ST500LM012 Media, Rotational, SATA, GPT (GUID Partition Table)

1. Is a hybrid solid state drive going to need some kind of special formatting after I put it into the macbook so that I can put the operating system on it?
The boot drive, regardless of what it is, needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). This is standard with OS X.
2. Is a "normal" platter hard drive more reliable than a hybrid solid state drive?
There are arguments pro and con. Bottom line, SSD's and hybrid drives are still quite expensive per GB than standard hard drives. If you have the bucks and are a speed demon, go ahead.   I have better use for my money.   Standard hard drives are mechanical and may wear out over time. But even though SSDs are not mechancial, they can still go bad and ultimately they even have a limit to their write capacity. The jury is still out on this debate.
3. Is there any additional driver or special software that I have to install for a hybrid solid state drive?
No
4. Currently there is no personal data stored on the computer. Can I just put the new hard drive in, and then insert the snow leopard install cd?
You can physically put the hard drive in but probably not install Snow Leopard on this MBP.
The mid-2012 MacBookPro9,1 models came with Lion 10.7.3 (11D2097) preinstalled.   It is very unlikely you would be able to install Snow Leopard on it. Historically you cannot install a version of OS X that is earlier than the version that came with your Mac (even if you replace the hard drive).
5. If I install snow leopard, can I just go to the App store and get the free upgrade to Mavericks?
Not via Snow Leopard on this MBP. See my response to #4.
6. If I want to do the "Data Doubler" option in the future and add a normal Solid State drive into my computer, will it have trouble interacting with the 1 tb hybrid solid state drive?
No. They are completely independent of each other; they are just independent storage units (drives) and their RAM does not interact.

Can anyone recommend a portable USB 3.0 drive with hardware encryption, compatible with OSX and Windows 7. I need it for my MacBook Pro 13", 2012, running Mountain Lion

Can anyone recommend a portable USB 3.0 drive with hardware encryption, compatible with OSX Mountain Lion and Windows 7. I need it for my MacBook Pro 13”, 2012, running Mountain Lion & Windows 7 Ultimate - BootCamp. I’ve heard that the Buffalo MiniStation Encryption does not work with OSX, is that true..? I'd like it to work with both operating systems, using the built in hardware encryption. Thanks
