Battery covered under Apple Care?

Easy Question:
My battery only last about 30 minutes. I need a new one, but I have the Apple Care plan. Is this covered, or do i have to buy it myself?
Thanks

If you check the fine print, you will see that Apple's warranty does not cover consumable parts such as batteries unless they are defective.

Is there an "APPLE STORE" in India or you just went in a reseller store?
There is a replacement program for sleep/wake button for free. Just look for an Apple Store and make a reservation at Genius Bar.
I have an iPhone 5, bought in Dubai U.A.E.
It is a US model (model A1428) which is different of the model use here in Italy/Europe
My serial number is qualified for battery replacement program.
I thought the Apple Store wouldn't repair my phone because I bought it from another country , a different model and it is already out of warranty.
The Apple store's staff just checked if my iPhone's serial number is eligible for the program and he replaced the battery for free today.

Is the power adapter covered under Apple Care?

I wrap the cord on my power adapter about twice per day going between home, school, and work. Consequently, the power cord has begun to fray where it comes out of the white power supply. Is a replacement power supply covered under Apple Care?

Dorianj,
I would be interested to hear what Apple says regarding warranty coverage for your power supply. I had a slight, but annoying, problem with my Powerbook G4 adapter where the two-pronged wall adapter would not stay rigidly straight in the wall socket. Result was that it would slide out of the wall socket and lose its connection. I called Apple under my extended Applecare warrantly and they said that a replacement (only $10 anyway, but still...) was not covered as the problem was related to my use and handling. The tech on the phone conceded that if I had said that the adapter wasn't working it could have been replaced under the warranty. Of course he said he couldn't change the information on my "case" once that was entered.
Hope this experience is hellpful and please post back on your results.

Is my stuck trackpad covered under Apple Care?

I spilled food on my trackpad last night and now it's stuck! Is this covered under Apple Care? I know water is not but I'm not sure if food has the same policy.

Accidental Damage isn't covered under Applecare. Unfortunately, no.

3rd party RAM covered under Apple Care?

hey all,
i just got a new MacBook and am planning on upping the RAM to 2 Gigs. I know that if you buy the RAM from Apple and you have the Apple Care Protection Plan on your computer, the Apple RAM you install is also covered for the duration of the plan. I have Apple Care for my new MacBook and i'm wondering if 3rd party RAM would be covered under AppleCare of it it HAS to be Apple RAM. Is it worth the extra roughly $400 to have 2 Gigs from Apple and have it covered under Apple Care? If not, what are some recommendations for reliable 3rd party RAM? is there a certain brand that is hands down the best? thanx very much!
David

David,
AppleCare only covers hardware that you purchase from Apple. If you have problems with your RAM later on, that's between you and the company you bought it from.
Thus, if you buy third-party RAM, it's important to buy a good product from a reputable company (and to keep the RAM that came with your machine, in case you ever have to return the machine to the state it was in when you bought it from Apple, to return it to Apple for service should they request that.)
Only you can decide for yourself whether it's worth it to you.
I decided that it was not worth the extra money to buy RAM from Apple, and bought and installed 2GB of RAM on my own. It was easy, as long as you follow the directions from Apple's MacBook support site (there are PDF downloads explaining how to do maintenance on your MacBook, and RAM is considered a user-replaceable part.)
I have had a very good experience buying and installing third-party MacBook RAM from Small Dog Electronics; others on this forum have recommended OtherWorld Computing (OWC.)
Patriot and Crucial also seem to be well thought-of memory vendors.

HT1941 is the power adapter covered under apple care?

mine seems to have frayed over time. The computer is still under apple care.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If it came with your Mac, it's covered by AppleCare, so Apple will replace it for free if the power adapter is broken

Is Magsafe adaptor covered under Apple Care Warranty?

*"Is the power adaptor covered under the applecare warranty?"*
Yes, provided it's not the result of accidental damage.

Swelling of battery is ruining my trackpad! I m still under apple care protection.

Can i get my battery replace under apple care if its affecting other parts of the computer?

Same thing here... except I am out $125 and an afternoon of unscrewing and screwing and now my three - week -old trackpad is having same issues.
My swelling battery caused my touchpad to do weird things... I replaced the whole keyboard/touchpad... but now I see that it was the swelling battery making the click bar "stick" on. It is happening again with the new keyboard/touch pad...
I hate to toss a battery that is good otherwise the fact that it expands when hot... otherwise an engineering defect-- inadequate heat dispersion/close tollerances with touch-pad.
Apple give me a discount on a fresh battery... this battery seem to work just fine... 3-hours or so of use without charging.

Will i get new version of OS if i am still under apple care?

Hi,
Having the new OS released n Fall, will i be eligible to get the latest version of OS for free if i am still covered under Apple care plan?

No
AppleCare only provides 3 years of support and hardware warranty from factory defects.
You'll have to purchase upgrades for OS X much like you will for your third party software.

Basically only for the first year and only if Apple deems it defective. It is seen as a consumable item and not covered under Applecare.

Iphone4 is dropped in a glass of water. Would it be covered by apple care?
Any input is appreciated!
Thank you

If you purchased the extended repair plan called AppleCare+ when you purchased the phone, it will be covered wth a $49 service fee. If not, then user damage is not covered.

Please be advised that we are individual users just like you. I understand and appreciate that you use your MBP in a vocational environment and evidently it is critical for you to have a functioning MBP at all times. Unlike some car dealers, Apple does not have a 'loaner' program.
You may be able to talk the local Apple store to lend you one, but they are under no obligation to do so. As BobTHeFisherman suggests, the only reasonable solution for the current situation and possible future ones, is to have a backup MBP, ready to be used if the primary one fails.
Even if you got a 'loaner', I question the practicality of setting it up and transferring data in a timely manner that would enable it to be used for your job. The quick and temporary solution to you situation is to purchase an external DVD drive that can substitute for the internal one with the entrenched CD. This should permit you to continue your work uninterrupted with all functions of your MBP still at your disposal.
Ciao.
