Can't register my macbook that I bought off ebay

I bought a Macbook Pro from someone off ebay. I have their receipt from when they purchased it, and I wanted to get applecare for it. But when I try to register the Macbook under my Apple ID, I never get a confirmation email, and it does not show up as one of my products. Is there something I am missing? I'm not even getting amessage or email stating that I cannot register it, or that the registration failed. Does anyone have any insight on this type of situation? Thank you in advance.
Erik

The purchase date is April 13, 2011 so I beleive it should be fine. It is a refurb though from mid 2010. I think the one year starts from the purchase of the refurb, so that should still be within a year. My conern with registering it is that when I go to purchase apple care, I don't want to run into any problems if I need to use it in a year or so. I know there is a transfer policy with applecare, but I'm not sure if I need to do the same thing within the first year of purchase.

    Just what are you doing?
    The Apple Product Registration website is closed.
    If you’re trying to register an Apple product, chances are it’s already registered. Most Apple products can be registered when you turn them on for the first time and begin the setup process. Service and support for your Apple product are linked to its serial number, so it’s OK if you don’t register it. If you'd like to check the service and support coverage for your Apple mobile device or computer, click here.

  • How  can i get a iphone  5s 16 gb unlock that i bought off ebay

    how to get a preowen iphone  5s 16 gb gold unlocked that i bought off ebay

    If the iPhone is locked to a wireless provider, only that wireless provider can unlock it.
    If the iPhone is Activation Locked, only the person whose AppleID and passcode were
    originally used can remove the Activation Lock.
    Unless the iPhone was advertised as locked, start a claim with eBay to get a refund.
    If the iPhone was advertised as locked to a wireless provider, you need to contact
    that wireless provider to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify - most require
    you to be a current or past customer in good standing.
    If the iPhone was advertised as Activation Locked, you wasted your money - there is
    no workaround for Activation Lock.

    No, you can do absolutely nothing with that phone until the Activation Lock is removed by the previous owner.

  • No serial # on packaging, can't register APSE 10 that I bought at Best Buy today, have tried for Hou

    Have tried for hours to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.  I bought it at Best Buy today.  There is no serial number on the packaging.  There is one on the receipt but it includes alpha and numeric and the registration request for a serial number does not accept alpha.
    Very frustrating, I needed to us the product ASAP.

    You have a redemption code, which is used to retrieve the serial number.  See this Adobe document:

  • Can I re-download songs that I bought off of i-tunes?

    I just had to reboot my computer because of a virus and lost all of the songs I have bought. Does anyone know if i can redownlaod them?

    If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on the link at the bottom of this page you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
    If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

  • Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it?

    Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it? I thought that if I bought it the apps on my macbook, they would be avaliable on my imac like the mobile devices operate. The macbook has 10.6.8 cause its a older model and I think lion would slow it down. Any help??

    Just redownload it on the other computer by logging into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase it.

  • Where can i register my macbook pro ?

    where can i register my macbook pro ?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    To register your MacBook Pro to your Apple ID, open http://supportprofile.apple.com, log in with your Apple ID, choose Add Products, and follow the steps. You will have to insert your MacBook Pro's serial number, that you can find in the box or in System Information.
    If you set up your Apple ID during the first startup of your MacBook Pro, the MacBook is already registered to your Apple ID with iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand

  • I can't register the iPhone I just bought although it has definitely been unregistered by the previous owner

    I can't register the iPhone I just bought although it has definitely been unregistered by the previous owner

    This is the message I get (the previous owner has a confirmation email confirming the de-registration):
    According to our records, this serial number is registered to another Apple ID. If you have more than one Apple ID, log in to My Support Profile with that Apple ID to see your other registered products. Not sure if you have another Apple ID? Find out.
    Thanks for your attention,

    how can i unlock my iPhone 4s i bought off from eBay and is Verizon im current oversea i want to use a local sim card

    First you'd have to establish service with Verizon. Once a paying customer in good standing, you can then request the GSM portion be unlocked. Obviously, you can't do any of that stuff while you're out of the US. They will not unlock the CDMA side.
