Applecare - too late to buy (ordered Mac online on 20th Feb 2009?)

I didn't know where to post this question, so option for this forum!!
I contacted my local Apple store today to find out if it was too late to buy and register Applecare for my Mac Pro I ordered online from Apple on 20th Feb (1 year and 1 day ago).
The member of staff referred my to the Apple Store, but when I phoned I realised they don't have staff answering telephones on a Sunday (this is the UK).
So, I didn't receive my machine until 25th Feb 2009, so am I too late to buy Applecare if I wanted to?
Thanks in advance
Matt

you can still buy applecare. you can do it while your mac is still covered by 1 year manufacturer's warranty (1 year)

Applecare - too late to buy it?

If my original warranty has run out, do I take it that I can no longer buy applecare? I feel well stupid right now, cos the warranty has run out like maybe 3 weeks ago, and now my laptop decides to stop being able to charge batteries (and no, it's not the battery or the charger, it's the laptop)

Sorry - but Applecare Protection Plan must be bought and registered before the end of the standard 12 month warranty.

Too late to buy warranty?

Just bought a Dell Studio MT Desktop Q8200 November 30 (3 days ago). I did not buy an extended warranty at the time. I wasn't aware of the arrangement Dell had w/Best Buy about warranties until today and I would like to buy a extended warranty now. Is it too late to do this?

Hey Kbp13 -
Congratulations on your new Dell desktop. I purchased one a few months ago in our stores and thus far I have been quite pleased.
The good news is that you do have 14 days from date of purchase to buy the Performance Service Plan. Keep in mind, the store may ask you to bring the tower in to have it inspected to ensure that it is in like new condition. Your best option is to contact the store prior to driving there and receive clarity from them.
I hope this helps!

When I Googled MacKeeper, several items warned against downloading it. Too late! In order to reverse the process, I'm told I need to unencrypt anything that was encrypted. How do I unencrypt? Thanks so much.

When I Googled the word MacKeeper, several items that appeared warned against downloading this item. Too late! I've already downloaded it.
I was told that, before reversing the download, I needed to unencrypt anything that was encrypted. How do I do this?

Remove "MacKeeper" as follows. First, back up all data.
"MacKeeper" has only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Then a dialog will pop up asking why you want to uninstall it. You don't have to provide that information. Enter anything you like in the text box, then click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. Reboot.
Do not empty the Trash after dragging the MacKeeper application to it. Let the application delete itself.
Do not try to uninstall by dragging the MacKeeper icon in the Dock or the LaunchPad to the Trash.
Here are some general suggestions. If you want your computer to be usable, don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless.
The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
The only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.

I'm in oregon, if I want buy a Mac online..

Do I need pay tax? I'm just stidying in the Oregon state now.

Even if you buy it in town or at the university you won't have to pay sales tax. Oregon doesn't have a sales tax. There's a big shopping center in Portland just this side of the interstate bridge because of Washington state's high sales tax.

Best Buy messed up online mac mini order

I ordred a Apple Mac Mini, an Apple wireless keyboard and an Apple wirless mouse and my order was unavailable for pick up three hours later! I place the order at 5:53 call the store at 6:30 to ask where my order is and they didn't know. after talking to a customer service rep name Shelby who is very rude with me and gave me no information about my order except that they were having processing issues with their own credit card company. I asked to speak to a manager when I called back the second time it took them 25 minutes just to get Amanda on the phone.
I asked the store manager Amanda if she could please help me figure out why I can't pick up my order and she said that their credit card processing department was backed up all day long and that a new team apparently was coming on at 7:45 pm?
anyways after being on the phone for almost 2 hours with them I'm still here without my order, The manager suggested I could just cancel my order and they could sell me the stuff off the shelf but that wouldn't tell me having to wait for an $805 credit to my bank account which could be the middle of next week so I told her this was not an option. The reason I place my order for online pick up was so that I could bring my product home today not have to wait overnight into the next day for an order.
The service ive been given at this Best Buy location is absolutely reprehensible. The funds in my account are gone but I sit here without a product, how is this possible? I will never purchase from BB again...

There was no way to order AppleCare for the iPhone 5 using the online AppleStore to have it activated automatically. Am I missing something?

There was no way to order AppleCare for the iPhone 5 using the online AppleStore to have it activated automatically. Am I missing something?

I must have missed the option to add AppleCare+ to my iPhone 5 pre-order, too. Fortunately, I was able to obtain confirmation from an Apple representative that AppleCare+ can still be added to a new iPhone 5 within 30 days of the device's ship date.
My iPhone 5 Ordering Situation:
Successfully submitted pre-order at 2:05am CST
Realized I did not add AppleCare+
Tried to add it as a separate product
Unable to add AppleCare+ after submiting pre-order
This Morning:
I just got off the phone with an Apple representative. He assured me that, once my iPhone 5 arrives on September 21, I will be able to: 1) call 1-800-MY-APPLE and have AppleCare+ added to my iPhone 5; 2) go into an Apple Retail Store and have AppleCare+ added to my iPhone 5. He said I would have thirty days from my device's ship date (September 21) to add AppleCare+ to it. He also recommended that, if I wanted to have AppleCare+ added at an Apple Retail Store, I should make an appointment as soon as possible. Because I was still concerned something might go wrong, the Apple representative emailed me a copy of my case number to use as a reference in case I have any issues obtaining AppleCare+ on September 21.
Caveats & More Information:
I ordered through the Apple Store app on my iPhone 4
I live in the United States
My carrier is AT&T
I have a case number and repeated assurances from an Apple representative
While your situation may differ from mine I do hope you're able to add AppleCare+ to your iPhone 5 once it arrives, either by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE or by making an appointment at your nearest Apple Retail Store.
Best Wishes,
Dylan

If I buy a Mac and iPad online, will I still be able to claim warranty at an Apple Authorized Service Provider?

If I buy a Mac and iPad online, will I still be able to claim warranty at an Apple Authorized Service Provider?
I am going to buy a Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display and iPad from www.topbuy.com.au . It's a legit website, but they say the items have topbuy warranties, not apple ones. They say I have to send off my faulty device to them, and they will fix it, but I don't want to do that. I just want to walk into an Apple store, tell them the problem and have a happy ending, like what's supposed to happen. Will I be able to do this?
Thanks

Apple warranty is good at any Apple service provider, AASP or store.
But you seem to be reaching far to defend that "it's a legit website", especially when they seem to be directing you from seeking certified Apple service.
As the saying goes: If it looks like a duck, and it sound like a duck, it's quackers to bypass an Apple store or Apple online to save a few $$. Well, something like that.

Too Late for Mac OS Extended Journaled??

Hi guys! So i got a another firewire HD, 250GB by acomdata. It's formatted under FAT 32 for both windows and mac, after after reading several posts, it's best to format it under mac os extended. the problem is I already put about 30 GB of files on it. Is it too late for me to reformat it? do i have to remove all the files, then do it? If someone can provide step by step instructions that won't harm my files, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

You understand that if you reformat the drive for Mac OS Extended that you will no longer be able to use the drive on a PC?
If you do reformat the drive you need to do so as follows:
1a (If this is the startup drive.) Boot from your OS X Installer Disk. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu if using Tiger.) Be sure to use the installer disk for the version of OS X you intend to install.
1b (If this is a non-startup volume or external drive.) Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.

I got busy over the new year and forgot to purchase Applecare for my iPhone. 30 days past purchase date is too late - right?

Thanks Peter. I thought about that and had discounted the idea but since I am only 30 minutes away from my A store, I think I'll give it a try. I can be charming specially when I wear clean jeans and a nice top. :-)

My Windows7 PC just crashed. I have the files backed up online with Carbonite. I want to buy a Mac I book. Carbonite says it cannot download pc files to a Mac. Is there a solution?

Brilliant, that clears things up - there is a single
audio in that is next to the PC in so I guess I need
one of the single cables you have mentioned,
hopefully the Apple Store can point me in the right
direction when I go in to buy my Mini.
If the TV has a single minijack-type audio input, then the cable you need is a very standard one that can be found almost anywhere that cables for audio/home theatre systems are sold. In the old days it would be easy to point you towards the nearest Tandy, but as I understand it they're now gone. However, even supermarkets such as Tesco are likely to have something this basic!
No doubt Apple will release an Intel Core 2 Duo
version the day after I pick it up.
There's no doubt that at some point Apple will revise the range and make new mini's faster or more powerful - and it may be that it happens next week at the Macworld Expo. I'd bet there are a few people holding on for a few days to see if new minis are announced there, and you might want to do the same if it's of concern, but the existing models are plenty powerful, and more than enough for most user's needs.
Thanks for all your help, much appreciated.
You are most welcome - and please come back and post again if you have any further questions or any problems once you've got your system!

All purchases are considered final, but you can try contacting iTunes support and asking them : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

I accidentally deleted part of an iphone (4s) note. Is there a way to restore the deleted text? I learned too late about being able to shake the iphone in order to undo my action, so is there any other way?

Restoring a phone from a backup will put the device back to the state it was when the backup took place, i.e. all info that you had on that phone before using the backup will be gone.
You could try to restore the phone, which will back up the actual data on the phone, including the passcode, and use this backup to set up a new phone with. The passcode will still be the same, because it is part of the backup.
More info here, iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
Not being able to fill in the passcode is not much different from forgetting it.
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

Apple stores in the US have them. Call an Apple store near you and ask.

Can I buy a Mac Pro in the States and then buy and register AppleCare in Australia?

Hi,
I am going to buy a Mac Pro in the States but will be using it mainly in Australia. Can I purchase and register Applecare for the Mac Pro in Australia?
Thanks.

Would you incur a fiscal deficit, moreso, by registering a US purchased
Applecare plan, or registering the same plan, bought in Australia?
The AppleCare extended plan is nearly global, and could be bought
nearly anywhere. Some users buy one in the USA, then travel to Japan.
In some cases, the place where you buy the plan is cheaper than where
you may be living afterward; so consider the national sales tax in Oz.
Depending on where you buy the computer in the States, the plan can be
added on and automatically enrolled at the same time. You could wait
and buy the plan in Australia; at whatever currency rate and tax added.
Is there any magic behind the method, man?
