Are Refurb Phones Accepted in the Apple Care Extended Warranty?

anyone have any input on this?

i was wondering if i can extend the 90 day warranty on the refurbs
Most likely no. The original warranty is the deciding factor in purchasing AppleCare. More than likely, the original warranty on the refurbished units you purchased has expired, thus making them ineligible for AppleCare. You can confirm this by plugging the SN's in here:

  • I am planning on buying an iphone 4 from some one. The phone still has the Apple Care Protection plan on it. Would there need to be a transfer of plan onto my name? If so, how is this done?

    Hi, I am planning on buying an iphone 4 from some one. The phone still has the Apple Care Protection plan on it. Would there need to be a transfer of plan onto my name? If so, how is this done?

    As the others have said, transferring AppleCare to your name is not absolutely essential. It can make things easier in some cases, though, should questions arise, so it's worth having done. The person from whom you're buying the iPhone will have to call AppleCare Plan Administration (s/he can call the normal Apple support line and ask to be transferred) and arrange to have the plan transferred to you.

  • Can I purchase an Apple Care extended warranty for an iPad Air if I purchase it at Best Buy?

    CAn I buy an Apple Care extended warranty for an iPad Air if I purchase it at Best Buy?

    For me? Buying from best buy was my only option since the closest apple store is over an hour away. (and technically in another state)
    Also, when I bought my iPod the warranty that Best Buy offered was far more comprehensive than Apple Care with accidental damage protection for up to 3 years.
    And, when my iPad's charging port messed up, I took it into Best Buy and they swapped me out for a new one while at an Apple store I likely would have gotten a refurb.
    When I swapped out my iPod 4 for my iPod 5 I took it into best buy, got $70 towards the purchase of the new device by trading in the old one.
    Best Buy isn't perfect and not every store is a good one, but they are a good alternative or other option to explore for those buying devices.
    I think my biggest beef when buying my iPad and later iPod at Best Buy is when I bought my iPad I bought the screen protector and they wanted to charge me to apply it...and it kinda rankled for me to be plunking down over $600 dollars to have them want to charge me $15 for a screen protector install.

  • Will Apple Care extended warranty cover broken glass?

    Or, for that matter, will the 90 day warranty do anything for broken glass on a 4G?

    I was wondering the same thing.  I have an iPhone4 with the AppleCare plan.  Although I have had my phone and AppleCare plan for a year, I didn't bother registering the plan until tonight when my glass broke (from a fall of about two and a half feet).
    My paperwork for the AppleCare plan says that it simply extends the warranty.  That tells me no coverage except for manufacturers' defects.  However, when I went to register my plan at the Apple support website, I was redirected to this page for details of the plan I had just registered.  http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
    Quoting from that page:  "Every iPhone comes with one year of hardware repair coverage through its limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary support. AppleCare+ for iPhone extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPhone1 and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $49 service fee.2 Whether you use your iPhone with a Mac or a PC, just one phone call can help resolve most issues."
    This would seem to imply that for a $49 fee, I can get my glass replaced.  Anybody know if that's the case?
    The plan I purchased is called "AppleCare" in all my paperwork.  However, this web page indicates "Applecare+".  Anybody know if there is a distinction between Applecare and Applecare+? 
    My guess is that sometime in the last year, they added that "two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $49 service fee" sometime in the last year.  And when they added that coverage, they changed the name from AppleCare to AppleCare+.  But that's just a guess on my part.  Anybody know for sure?

  • Apple Care extended warranty??

    Good bad or indifferant.....What about other extended warranty plans like Best Buys or Radio Shacks?

    Again, read EXACTLY what the warranty covers.
    If it does NOT say it covers loss, damamge by
    accident, etc. it will NOT be covered, regardless off
    what the salesman tells you.
    Usually, 40-50% of a store managers salary comes
    directly from extended warranties. They are cheap &
    easy to sell for the store and the compnay makes big
    $$$ off of them.
    This is not necessarily bad, but for a $20 cd player,
    you don't need one.
    Here are a few interesting articles.

    I appreciate the links..... The minute I say scrap the extended warranty, you know my ipod will go on the fritz and out of luck I will be............. I think Best Buy will even replace your battery for free with that extended warranty.

  • Transferring Apple Care Extended Protection Plan

    I bought my friends iphone 3gs and she does not have the iphone box or the apple care extended protection plan box anymore but i  am able to see online that it is still in warranty but it is in her name. How can I transfer the iphone into my name without the boxes and apple care registration number?

    AppleCare is a warranty extension and covers manufacturing defects. It is not insurance and will not cover user-caused damage, such as scratching or cracking of the glass (unless the crack was determined to be due to a defect in manufacturing, not the iPad being dropped or impacted).

  • I have an iPhone 4S on which I bought the Apple Care policy. The phone was broken and I was told that Apple would do nothing as it was "beyond economical repair".  Does anybody know where in the Apple Care agreement the topic of beyond economical repair?

    I recently brought in a broken iPhone 4S and was told the damage was too great and therefore that is was BER and Apple would not cover the phone.  I have never dealt with this issue before and was curious as to where in the terms and conditons Apple reserves the right to not cover if the think that the phone is beyond economical repair.  When I asked clerk I was told that everybody knew that BER applied and "you would not expect an insurance cover to pay for a car if it was totalled."  I told the gentleman in that case the BER only applies as to whether I received money for car or insurance company repaired the vehicle. When I asked to see the terms that set this out nobody in the store (or the chat support agent later).  Does anybody know where this term or terms is set forth.  Also, has nobody ever questioned if it is fair to sell consumers coverage for accidental damage and not tell them that only small damage is covered and not major damage?  I am a little suprised unless I am missing something really obvious.  I have never had this issue with Asurion or with Best Buy coverage.  Thanks

    You mention Apple Care, not Apple Care + which are two completely different things. Apple Care is nothing more than an additional year of standard warranty coverage. Apple Care + is what addressed accidental damage. Warranty has never covered accidental damage. What kind of damage did you do? An out of warranty replacement can be done for $199 for the iPhone 4S, and that just means you brought the phone in at least somewhat intact.
    Never heard the term, but what I wrote above is what warranty is.

  • I am not being able to create my apple ID as my card details are not being accepted by the app store. i tried with my visa card as well as master card. help me out to solve the problem..

    I am not being able to create my apple ID as my card details are not being accepted by the app store. i tried with my visa card as well as master card. help me out to solve the problem..

    Were the VISA and MasterCard issued to you by a bank in the country where you reside and do they have a verifiable billing address in the same country?
    Or are these debit cards that you bought in a local store. Apple does not accept debit cards that you bought.

    any help why i cant get the apple care? or is it part of it

    Hi Garethmob,
    I don't know why it says that, but don't forget; the MacBook just recently came out. If you have any questions you may want to call Apple Sales at 0800 039 1010 (UK) or 1800 92 38 98 (Ireland). Lines are open Monday-Friday 0900-2200 and Saturday 0900-1700, or go to your local Apple Store/Reseller. Just to keep in mind, your MacBook does come with a 90 day free phone support and a 1 year hardware warranty. You can buy AppleCare for your MacBook within one year of purchase.

  • Ok so I so my IPod Touch has the same problem as the one before. The headphone jack. The i hear prefectly on the right but not the left. This my second time. What do I do to fix it? I do have the Apple Care!

    I tried all my head phones and its the left side. This happened to me before, and I got a new one. I need help what I do? How do I fix this problem. If they do give me a new one do I have to buy the Apple Care again. Can they fix it. Wht am I doing wrong? Am i Putting the headphone in my ipod wrong. What is it? Ughh!!! This is annoying!!!!!

    Well if the same problem happens to all your ipods, it makes me suspect that there is something wrong with your headphones, as it would be a strange coincidence that all the ipods have the same problem.
    Unless the ipods have the same problem with different headphones!

  • Once you pre order, how do I get the apple care plan

    Hi,
    I got my pre order done, but didn't see where, I can buy the Apple care plan? Any help would be appreciated?
    Thanks, Jerry

    So a question about activation, in case anyone knows. I used "my" upgrade several months ago to buy the 3GS. We want to use my husband's upgrade to purchase this one, but I am going to use it and my husband is going to use the 3GS. Therefore, I don't want the phone activated to his info. I am wondering if we just need to do this at the store, or if I order under his account, can I just sync it to my iTunes to get it to be my phone? In other words, I don't want them to go ahead and add the iPhone plan to his line (he's not currently on iPhone plan).
    Thanks

    You can try your homeowner's insurance company; unfortunately, the hardware warranty was most likely voided. You can read it here:

  • The apple care rep hung up on me. How can I send an email to Apple Care with a description of my problem

    The apple care rep hung up the phone on me. How can I contact Apple care by email with a description of the problem that I have. Everything seems to try to push me back into their frequently asked questions list.

    The problem is that the data Apple has for my old Apple ID is contaminated in several ways. First the password I have used for years no longer works. Second, the email address they have in the system to send me a link to change the password is contaminated with an extra.com on the end so that the link never gets to me. Lastly, when I go to answer security questions online they ask for my birthday and when I give it to me, they tell me that is not the date in the system. When an applecare rep (not the one who hung up on me) asked me security questions on the phone all of my answers were correct....but it was when he sent me along to some higher level know it all, the guy started lecturing me about writing things down wrong, and when I chose to disagree, he disconnected. I have some pretty costly apps that I want to update now that I have IOS7 and I casnnot without the password.
