Can I use ApplceCare bought by my US student friend on a MacBook Air in India?

I had bought my MacBook Air 13 inch base model in India 11 months ago and have been using it here and will continue to do so.
My (MS) student friend in the USA offered to buy me one from his university store or maybe an Apple store which will be discounted.
I think by the time I myself join it will be more than 12 months so only discount option is via him. In India they do not procide studen discount to AppleCare if it was not bought at the time MacBook was bought. I just asked this to an official reseller(Apple doesn't have its own stores here).
I am not sure whether I can use it or not, on my MacBook Air I mean.
So, can I do it?
If no, then can you please tell me why not?
And if yes, then how should I/he should procced for the purchase so that there's no problem.
Because from what I understand if I use my AppleID to buy this from Apple Online Store, which I actually tried till checkout and address from and logged out after that, then I will/might also have to produce some kind of ID proof that I am a student and I am not one.
If my friends does that from his AppleID then that might be tied to his AppleID, or it's not like that?
What if he just walks into an Apple Store with his student ID or simply arranges a pickup at one store having bought already online?
How to go about it.

Looks like I can as long as the AppleCare is used the guy transfers the AppleCare to my name after buying.

  • Can't use ch340g serial port driver since upgrading to Yosemite on MacBook air

    I use my MacBook air with the Arduino 1.0.6 IDE. Since upgrading ( free upgrade) to Yosemite. I can no longer acess the ch340g serial port. (does not show up in arduino ide). I tried re-installing the driver. I get no errors and am told the install was successful. This was working very nicely before the upgrade. I now have three boards I cannot use. I am at a loss as to what I should do.  I suppose I could go back to Maverick but then I would have to go buy the operating system. This seems wrong to me. I was offered an upgrade that then leaves me up the creek without a paddle. Any help given would be highly appreciated.

    I have the same problem, a non stable CM341 serial to tty driver on Yosemity on a MacbookPro Retina.
    I followed the advice of Rsattaur, I executed the command: sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1"  and now I have big problems with my USB-ports.
    The result is a screen-of-death after connecting anything to my USB-ports!!!!

  • Can I use my iPad mini to extend the display from my Macbook Air?

    Is there a way to utilize my ipad mini wifi, to extend the display from my Macbook Air?

    There is no need to charge it before you first use it.  You cannot run the battery too low as the system will shut the device off before that happens to protect the battery.
    Generally speaking, your Lithium battery will have the longest useable life if you avoid deep cycles.  Since you can plug and unplug it as you wish, the best thing to do is just charge it up (however much) whenever it is convenient to do so (whether it is 10% discharged, or 20% or 50% - basically don't pay any attention to the battery level, just plug it in when it is convenient to do so to keep the battery topped up).  And try to avoid frequent deep cycles where you run it all the way or very near to the point it auto-shuts off.

  • Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?

    Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?

    Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro?
    Yes, if you are asking about using Time Machine to backup the Mac.
    Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
    You are not thinking of deleting the photos and files on your Mac, are you?  If you do this, you will have no backups for those files.
    Another concern is that Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point, Time Machine will automatically delete the photos and files from the Time Capsule.....you just don't know when this might occur.
    In other words, only delete files from your Mac that you can afford to lose.

    No.  ThunderBolt is a direct connection to your systems PCI Express bus.  There is no way for your existing ports to do this with any sort of external adapter.

    The requirements are listed below. If you are going to do serious AutoCad work, a much larger monitor would be a great benefit.

  • Can i use 4gb ram card instead of (2x2) 2gb cards in macbook pro 15" 2.0 ghz

    can i use 4gb ram card instead of (2x2) 2gb cards in macbook pro 15" 2.0 ghz

    Hi John,
    If your MBP is a 2011, yes, and here is one example: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/1333DDR3S4GB/
    If your MBP is from 2006, the other year Apple made a 2GHz, the answer is no, as the max RAM is 2GB.
    Given that it appears you already have 2x2GB installed, I'm "guessing" you have the 2011 model, so the answer is yes.

  • I have a powerbook G4 with macosx10.5.8 (as far as I know the latest possible OS with powerPC). Can I use Time Machine to restore my data on an Intel Macbook?

    I have a powerbook G4 with macosx10.5.8 (as far as I know the latest possible OS with powerPC). Can I use Time Machine to restore my data on an Intel Macbook?

    Well the newer TimeMachine model as stated in current Support pages isn't directly compatible on OS X 10.5 now, as noted in above link provided.
    What OS X does your newer MacBook have running in it? (Not linux?)
    With the current setup you have there may be a way -among other details in the support page- to do the migration of data from Mac, including a subnote on Time Machine, in a section below the main article with triangle by it,  from links here:
    •OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks 10.9:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5872
    •OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion 10.8 and Earlier:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4889
    In the support articles there are various troubleshooting and help items about the technology, some data back some time and whatever still stands would be there. Some archives are no longer current and say so.
    Perhaps someoone still using older PPC Macs and Leopard 10.5, will say how to backup into a G4 PowerBook, from a Time Machine.
    Unless the TimeMachine backup from the older PPC G4 PowerBook is used in the migration process of transferring personal account files from there to a new MacBook running (?) OS X. This probably could be done. You may be able to access older libraries, such as iPhoto, iTunes, etc and import them from the archive, to a newer Intel-based MacBook.
    Sorry for any confusion.
    I'll more carefully reply in the future.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Can i use my iPhone 5s as a remote controller to my MacBook pro?

    Can i use my iPhone 5s as a remote controller to my MacBook pro with retina display such as keynote presentations etc.?

    Hey there emrahtatir,
    It sounds like you want to remotely control Keynote and iTunes from your phone. For Keynote this article will help you out:
    Using Keynote Remote
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6112
    To be able to control your iTunes application from your phone you would need the Remote app on the iPhone and Home Sharing enabled:
    Set up Remote app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1947
    You can download Remote using the App Store on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch or using iTunes on your Mac or PC. Remote requires an iOS device and either Apple TV or iTunes 9.2.1 or later. You can see the version of iOS you need and other requirements for the Remote app.
    Remote uses Home Sharing to set up and control iTunes and Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation). See how you can use the Remote app. For best performance, update your iOS device, Apple TV, and iTunes. To use Remote, make sure your devices are on the same network, and log in to Home Sharing on your iOS device and iTunes or Apple TV with the same Apple ID.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    Sterling

  • Witch software can i use to do split screen on video editing on a macbook

    witch software can i use to do split screen on video editing on a macbook pro
    please apple people without using the very expensive final cut

    iMovie 11 has split screen. Enable the Advanced Tools in iMovie Preferences. Then drag one clip on top of the other and choose split screen.
    Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro will allow you to do this with a lot more control.
