Applecare Question on Macbook Pro

I recently purchased a used Macbook Pro 2.33 and the previous owner said he transfered the remaining Applecare warranty on the Macbook pro to me, is there a way i can check to verify if the warranty has been transfered?

Cal AppleCare and ask. You can enter the serial number of the MBP here:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do
...and it will tell you if it's covered, but not that the coverage is in your name. However, with AppleCare, the coverage is associated with the serial number, not the owner.

  • What exactly does the AppleCare cover for MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

    I purchased the extended protection plan for my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15" and my question is what exactly does it cover in what kind of situations (i.e. viruses, damaged ports, damaged charger, etc.)? I want to be able to take full advantage of the protection plan since it was a pretty big whole in my wallet.

    AppleCare covers all the problems you have with your MacBook Pro with Retina display and the peripherals which came with it (your charger) if you have a hardware problem that you didn't cause. For example, after 2 or 3 years and 1000 charges, OS X says that your battery has to be replaced: in this case, you have to pay for the battery, because batteries have got a lifetime, and Unibody Macs batteries have got an average lifetime of about 1000 charges.
    However, if the RAM gets damaged and you haven't done anything to cause it, you will get your computer repaired or replaced for free. AppleCare in a MacBook Pro with Retina display is very important, because near all the parts are soldered into the logic board and repairs are expensive

  • 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.

  • AppleCare and Refurbished MacBook Pro Questions!

    Hi,
    I am looking to buy a refurbished 2011 13" Core i5 MacBook Pro. I am from Canada, but I will be using my MacBook Pro in New Zealand and Israel. So:
    Is AppleCare good for international warranty?
    Can AppleCare be bought for a refurbished MacBook Pro?
    When can expect to see refurbished MacBook Pro's in the Canada Apple Store?
    Thanks,
    MJNBGA

    1. yes
    2. yes
    3. Speculation about Apple products is inappropriate in these forums. Why not contact the store?

  • Questions about MacBook Pro 13"

    Hello,
    Im thinking of buying a Macbook Pro for school. Im doing some kind of Graphic Design education and I use a lot of photoshop and adobe programs.
    Now I have two questions regarding to this.
    What are the advantages of using a Macbook Pro for creative software like Photoshop and programming (like coding a website with html/css/js), over a windows 8 laptop?
    I just dont have the money for a 15 inch macbook pro, but will the MacBook pro 13 inch i5 4GB will be fast enough for adobe CS6 and will the screen also be, do-able? Its rather small of coure. But at home I got a LG 27" monitor, which I can connect my laptop to. So 13 inch will only be for at school. Mostly I design behind my 27 inch monitor.
    Thanks,
    ~Mark

    No real difference. Both can run Photoshop just as well. It really depends on the amount of RAM installed, the speed of the hard drive and CPU along with the graphics processor.
    Then why do so many people use MacBooks? Especialy in the creative industries?
    With the Mac you will need a Thunderbolt/Mini Displayport to whatever type of connection your 27" screen has. DVI or HDMI. These adapters cost arount $30 each.
    You will also need to factor in the Applecare extended warranty which extends the standard one year hardware warranty to 3 years of coverage, adding 2 years. Without it if that Mac fails after the first year it is very expensive to fix a Mac computer.
    How can I be sure a macbook 13 inch can be connected correct and well to my LG 27 inch monitor. My LG is 16:9 by the way. I read some non-apple monitors have compatibility problems
    I would highly recommend checking out apple certified refurbished MB Pro's:
    Unfortunally thats not available in my country (the Netherlands).
    4 GB of memory will not be enough for CS6 regardless of the processor. My advice would be to go with the MB Pro and upgrade to 16 GB memory. Memory acts as a bottleneck for processing speed. The more memory you have, the more power you will be able to get out of your processor. From personal experience, I can tell you running a late 2011 MB pro (i7 2.2 GHz quad core processor), CS5 was crashing with even 8 GB memory. Since upgrading to 16 GB, it has run amazingly well.
    I have a friend with 4GB, a dual core CPU and the HD3000 GPU, he runs Adobe CS6 just well. How is this possible there are so many differnt opinions on this matter?
    Thanks for all the reply's btw.

  • 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.

  • Basic questions about macbook pro + external monitor

    Hi,
    I have some very basic questions about using a Macbook Pro + external display. I don't actually have them but need to know how things works.
    So, here they are:
    1) Can I use the external display as the main display?
    2) Will the external display run with its resolution or with that of the mbook pro?
    3) Somewhere I read that you cannot keep the macbook pro open and get the full resolution of the external display. Is that true ?
    4) Is it dangerous to keep the mbook closed while using the external display?
    5) Does the usage of the external display impact on mbook performance?
    I know...a lot of questions , but would be nice if someone could help me.
    Thanks.

    Hi - I am presently using an external display.
    To answer your questions in sequence:
    1. Yes you can use the external display as your main display. The way to enable that mode is to put your MacBook Pro to sleep, attach the external display. Wake up your MBPro with the lid closed and you will see the external display as you main display. You can alternatively set the external to "Mirror" your notebook by using preferences/display.
    2. The external display will run at its resolution although you can adjust and calibrate it using Preferences/Display.
    3. Not true. You get max resolution on both displays. Of course you may have to tweak as mentioned above.
    4. Not at all. I use this mode all the time. Just make sure you initially set up as mentioned above and your LCD on the MBPro will stay off.
    5. I have not seen any performance degradation whatsoever.
    Hope this helps.

  • Few Questions about macbook pros

    Is the transition from windows to mac easy or does it take awhile?
    Did you previous windows users get used to the minimizing of windows,I find it alittle weird?
    Another question,Why do people ask if they should get a macbook or macbook pro if price and screen size isn't an issue?Is there some sort of difference?
    What is Rosetta?
    How many windows can you have minimized?
    Are the widgets I see on apple's site the only ones that are out or are there more?
    I do alot of downloading,will macbook be perfect for this?
    When people say mac doesn't have viruses,does that mean because not many people use mac or because it has a well built OS?
    Is there spyware for macs?

    Is the transition from windows to mac easy or does it
    take awhile?
    It depends how long you have been using windows....
    How many windows can you have minimized?
    Lots, and then some
    Are the widgets I see on apple's site the only ones
    that are out or are there more?
    there are more out there but I am sure most are listed on Apple's site
    I do alot of downloading,will macbook be perfect for
    this?
    It depends what you mean by downloading. If you mean you download a lot of software/music/movies etc illegally using PTP, MIRC, Torrents etc, then I would say no: it is generally more straight forward on Windows, so I've heard.
    When people say mac doesn't have viruses,does that
    mean because not many people use mac or because it
    has a well built OS?
    possibly a bit of both but I reckon it's mainly because people don't bother making viruses for macs (yet....)

  • Quick questions about Macbook Pro specs...

    I am looking at the different Macbooks that Apple offers in order to decide which one to purchase. The two main differences that i noticed are as follows. Can someone please help me answer these two questions?
    1. What is the difference between a Hard Drive on the Macbook Pro and Flash Storage on the Macbook Pro with Retina?
    2. Does the Macbook Pro with Retina not have a build in CD drive? Is that why it states that I would have to purchase a Superdrive seperately?

    1. Flash storage is a solid state drive, which is a lot faster than a hard drive. Meaning, boot times are faster and opening applications are faster with teh flash storage. Transferring data is also faster, so installations go faster.
    2. The retina's don't have an optical drive (DVD/CD drive), so if you needed one you would have to buy an external drive. However, you don't have to purchase Apple's expensive superdrive, you could purchase a 3rd party drive for much cheaper.

  • 10.7.2 upgrade question for MacBook Pro 5,1?

    i am currently running 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro 5,1. i'm gonna upgrade it to Lion.
    will this process install a recovery partition on my MacBook Pro hard drive? If so, how big?
    after i upgrade, will I still need my install discs readily available, or can i finally store them away?
    i am just trying to understand how life works after going to Lion on a MacBook Pro 5,1?
    it seems that i will only need my original discs for the Apple Hardware Test. Everything else can be done via the recovery partition?
    any tips? has anyone done this to a 5,1 yet?
    THANK YOU!

    Yes, the OSX Lion installer will create a Recovery HD Partition in your HDD. It's about 650mb in space.
    Erica M31 wrote:

    Although you won't need your install discs after installing OSX Lion, I always advise to keep them in a reachable area should you want to "downgrade" back to Snow Leopard or install your MacBook's Windows drivers on a Bootcamp partition. I have my Snow Leopard Discs in my MacBook Pro box for the "just in case" scenario.
    Erica M31 wrote:

    As stated in the last statement, I recommend that you keep your original MacBook Pro discs store in a place where you can easily reach them for the "just in case" scenarios. I will just tell you to keep your original OSX Installation & Apple Hardware Test discs that came with your computer and the SL upgrade disc (if your computer came with Snow Leopard).
    Although you can reinstall Lion via the Recovery HD, I always suggest upgrading users to create a back-up USB or DVD with the full installer. You see, the Recovery HD is stored in your HDD and it can become unbootable if your HDD dies in the future, therefore making it useless. Having a back-up DVD or USB installer, offers you a way to boot your Mac in case the HDD fails. The advantages of the USB or DVD installer is that you can install OSX Lion without the need of an internet connection; use it to install Lion on your other Macs; and have all the features of the Recovery HD partition.
    To create a back-up USB or DVD installer follow the instructions in these articles:
    For a DVD Installer:
    http://eggfreckles.com/notes/burning-a-lion-boot-disc/
    For a USB Install Key:
    http://www.eggfreckles.net/notes/installing-lion-clean/
    I own a MacBook Pro mid-2010 model and it runs OSX Lion fine, however I should warn that this OS has still some annoying bugs that need to be fixed. I would recommed you to hold buying OSX Lion until Apple releases the 10.7.3 update. After this release occurs it will release a OSX Lion installer that has that version bundled into it. This will install OSX Lion with the latest updates and create the appropiate caches for it, therefore eliminating the chances of corrupted caches.
    Hope this helps and write back if you have any questions!
    Happy Computing!
    EDIT:
    Forgot to mention that once you download the OSX Lion intaller it will launch automatically and guide you through the process. If you want to make a DVD or USB installer just close the installer and follow the instructions in the post. Under normal circumstances, the OSX Lion installer will delete itself one once the update is finished.

  • Questions on macbook pro

    Hello
    I never had a mac computer. I have a dell computer. My birthday is coming up and am considering to get a Mac pro. So i have several questions.
    1) this is a fairly new product, are there a lot of problems with it? I hear about new products that come out and have problems. If there are any, did apple fix them?
    2) Is it worth the money?
    3) Is it easy to adapt to? I have had a dell desktop for years and i know macs are differnt. At school they have mac desktops. I havent been on them much, but one thing that has happend is when i click on a icon, the icon just bounces up and down and nothing loads. does that happen?
    4) How long does the battery last for? Does the macbook pro over heat?
    5) Does it work well? Fast? Can i use msn messenger, aim etc?
    Thanks for your help

    Hi Yankee,
    I think a new Macbook Pro would make a great birthday gift. I hope you get one. In answering your questions...
    #1 this is not a new product. This is the third update of this model. They run great, and bugs pretty much were worked out in the first version. If you do have issues, you are covered for one year under warranty, and can purchase a two year extended warranty.
    #2 I just sold my previous version Macbook Pro that I had owned for 10 months, and got $1680. for it. They are worth it in many ways more than money. The experience will make you a happy user.
    #3 It is a very intuitive OS and you will catch on fast. If you encountered bouncing icons on a school Mac, it could have been due to low memory or a problem with the install. The Macbook Pro comes with 2GB of ram, and will be fast.
    #4 My battery last 4-5 Hours in normal use. It doesn't get hot either. Fans have rarely come on, and its very quiet.
    #5 It works well, and fast, and you can use AIM through iChat with built in camera. YOu can also use MSN Messenger.
    Get one and you will love it!

  • This doesn't fit, but I have questions New MACBOOK pro 15 inch

    I am going to get the new Macbook Pro 15inch. I want the 2.8Ghz and I will build up the RAM later. Anyway, for the money should I go the 3.0 GHz? I am a video editor that works on SD and HD, usually never over 720p. I also do a little work in AE, I make my titles and some low level graphics. Will there be a big difference for me in 2.2Ghz of chip power, or can will I be fine for a while with the 2.8.
    I know the MAC isn't out yet, but I am trying to save some money. It beats the old price of the mac daddy 15 inch that was topping out at 2300 bucks.
    Cheers.

    The 2.8Ghz should work fine. I don't think you would notice that much difference going to the 3.0Ghz. Get a large/fast HD though for video. I just put a 500GB 7200RPM in my aluminum MBP. The 250GB 7200RPM stock drive outgrew me fast.

  • I have a question about Macbook Pro system preferences...

    When I first got my Macbook Pro, I thought it was cool to have my computer "talk" to me when I had notifications. For example, when I have an update available, it will say, "Stephen, updates are available." Or when my battery is low, it will say, "Stephen, you are now running on reserve battery power." I cannot figure out how to turn this feature off. Can anyone help me out?

  • Screen choice question - 2011 MacBook Pro

    I'm trying to decide on a configuration for a new MacBook Pro and I'm wondering if upgrading to the hi-res screen is worth the extra $$?
    I'm going to get the 15" 2.0 i7 model, possibly with the faster 500gb hard drive.
    I don't do ANY gaming but I do use Photoshop fairly regularly and I use iMovie to edit home video. Down the road I may get Final Cut to get more heavily into video editing.
    What do y'all recommend I get, and why?

    I recently upgraded to the new 2011 MBP, 15" 2.2i7 model as well. The first system I got was declared DOA after 2 days. When I returned to the apple store they gave me, for free, the 2.3ghz i7 with the upgraded hi-res anti-glare display.
    HUGE difference. Let me say this again. HUGE difference.
    Clarity and crispness of the display is amazing. The extra screen real estate is a huge plus as well. I agree with the last post though, if you're vision is really bad the text does get considerably smaller. I personally just wanted it for the anti-glare screen so even if I had to change to a higher resolution, not staring into a glass mirror while I work is worth it. I HATE that apple uses those cheesy glass-y displays by default now. They're terrible for real users.
