Can I buy apple care not at the apple store? (Target, etc?)

Can I buy Apple Care if I purchase my iphone 5s at Target?

Depends.  In many countries now, you cannot buy regular AppleCare for an iPhone.  You can buy AppleCare+ for one, but you can only get AppleCare+ through Apple.
In the USA see http://store.apple.com/us/product/S4575LL/A/applecare-for-iphone  as in the USA, there no longer is AppleCare for iPhones, only AppleCare+ which is a different product (AppleCare+ combines extended warranty with Accidental Damage coverage).
You can get AppleCare+ by phone or at an Apple Store, but must do so at the time of purchase or within 30 days of purchase.  If buying at an Apple Store, they will inspect the phone for pre-existing damage, and if over the phone, you must submit it to a remote diagnostic test.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • Can I buy an iPad 2 in the App Store from Argentina?

    Hello! I really want to buy an iPad 2, but when I shop in the App Store, I can't use my ZIP Code (I'm from Argentina). What can I do?

    You can't buy any hardware in the App Store. That, as the name implies, is only for purchasing iOS applications. If you mean that you're trying to purchase from the online Apple Store in some other country, you can't. They won't take foreign credit cards nor ship to any other country. If you want to buy an iPad in Argentina, you will have to go to an authorized Apple dealer there. You can search for authorized dealers here:

  • HT204266 how can I buy from itunes other than the USA store?

    Is it possible to open an account at a store located in a country in which you do not have a credit card?

    Yes, I do have a payment method valid in that country (which is my usa credit card, accepted in that country), but what do you mean "to be in that country"? do i need to open a different account?

  • Can you buy apple care on refurbished macs book pros?

    Can I buy Apple Care on refurbished MacBook Pros? What's the warranty return policy on them? Will it be in Like New Condition when I get it? This is the one I'm interested in. http://bit.ly/1MND29o

    Good afternoon JesseAlexander –
    MacBook Pros are such great, reliable products and purchasing it Geek Squad Certified just makes it a fantastic deal as well! In addition to other responsibilities, I spent a few years performing the Geek Squad Certification process on products returned to Best Buy and I know it very well.
    To address your first question, AppleCare is sold directly through Apple. I have read through the program Terms and Conditions and I am not able to find a solid answer. I think your best bet would be to contact Apple directly by calling 1-800-275-2273 or visiting their Apple Support website.
    We do offer a 15 day Return & Exchange Promise on our Geek Squad Certified products. In addition, we offer a One Year Limited Warranty on them as well. If you are interested in added protection against normal wear and tear or drops and spills, we also offer our own Geek Squad Protection Plan available on our refurbished products. Feel free to click on the links to learn more.
    Our Geek Squad Certified products typically begin as returned merchandise that customers changed their mind about. If a problem is discovered during the return, it is automatically disqualified. The returned devices are then given the once-over by store staff and turned over to specially-trained Agents who put them through a standardized process to make sure they are ready to be sold. We thoroughly test and inspect each refurbished device to make sure it works and looks as it did when it first came from the factory.
    Please let me know if you have any additional questions regarding our Geek Squad Certified products, MacBook Pros, Geek Squad, or Best Buy in general.
    Thanks for reaching out to us,

    How can I buy apple watch  for the space black stainless steel case and the black sport band for one order?

    Unfortunately no. I asked the same question when I went to the local Apple Store for my "try on" and as of now you would have to order the watch with the metal link band and the black sports band separately.

  • Can I use Apple store from a country other than the country I live in.  Example:  I live in USA and want to use Apple store in Thailand to buy and download thai content.

    Can I use Apple store from a country other than the country I live in.  Example:  I live in USA and want to use Apple store in Thailand to buy and download thai content.

    No, you can only buy content from your own country's store - to be able to buy form another store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You can try requesting that the content that you want be added to the US store, but ultimately it's the content providers (record companies, film studios etc) that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • Where can I buy a nano sim for the new iPhone 5

    Hi all,
    I have just ordered a new iPhone 5 from the apple website and it comes as an unlocked phone. Therefore I need to buy a new 'nano sim' to fit the new phone.
    Does anyone know where and how I go about doing this?
    I've seen that vodaphone have apparently got 500,000 of these new Nano sims in stock, but are they only for people who have bought the phone through them?
    Do you know any other networks or providers that are selling the nano sim, even if you haven't purchased the phone from them?
    Any advice or tips would be much appreiciated.
    Many thanks
    Chris

    Which is why in the UK it is not really worth purchasing an iPhone directly from Apple - it's a no brainer.  You should always purchase through the phone companies themselves and you'll get a much better deal always.
    I have been with 02 on a contract since I had my first iPhone and have always upgraded for less than half the cost of the iPhone directly from Apple.
    I really don't understand why someone would want to spend at least £525 to £600 on a phone from Apple when you could get it for less than half the cost with the UK phone companies, unless of course money is no object!
    Where do you get your information from?

  • How can i get my car to change the track when i am listening to the music on my phone through the line-in?

    how can i get my car to change the track when i am listening to the music on my phone through the line-in? is there a app i can download so it will recognize it? i have a vauxhal astra and the controls are on the steering wheel

    First question is how old is Astra and you are in UK ( well you must be to have a Vauxhall)
    Normally the Radio only has a line in socket  to allow sound
    You have two choices here either a simple cable with a 3.5mm Headphone plus at each end
    or a cable with the headphone plug to place in car's line in plug and a wide Apple socket to fit the base of your iPhone This allegedly gives better sound but  you have to control the iPhone for music selection
    The equipment you need to control the iPhone from the Steering Wheel controls ,which I suspect currently handles radio /Cd  tracks /stations ,is much more complicated it will have to be integrate with the Factory Fitted  radio
    and designed to manage the S/Wheel  controls and translate to the iPhone .
    Fitted into back of radio etc etc
    If car is a recent Vauxhall there may be a kit available from them .but will not be cheap
    Many imponderables you did not give much away in your OP

  • Can I buy a Mac Pro in the U.S., with a German keyboard?

    can I buy a Mac Pro in the U.S., with a German keyboard?

    The Mac Pro Tower is NOT a laptop computer. It weighs 65 lbs, and holds four  full-size Hard Drives. It uses a detachable keyboard.
    US English
    Western Spanish
    French
    Japanese
    ... are readily available at the Apple Online Store, in wired and wireless.
    For German, you would have to call them and make special arrangements, or pick one up an additional keyboard when you get back home.
    This thing won't fit in your suitcase. Are you sure you want to pay to ship it home again? I would be tempted to sell it when you are leaving, and buy a new one at Home.
    A laptop would be a better choice. These are also available with the same four choices of languages (in all models) through the online store.
    You can make all the German characters and accents with the USEnglish keyboard, but some are two keystrokes.
