Cheaper Price for Apple Care

I bought my MacBook Pro almost a year ago.
Now, I've decided I want to purchase the Apple Care package.
If I'm not mistaken - since it's been less than a year I can get a chepaer price for the Apple Care.
I might be mistaken and if more than a year passes I don't pay more for Apple Care - but I just can't buy it...
Does anyone has an answer for me?

No, you don't get a reduced price for waiting.
You can, however, shop around. Amazon and B&H and other sites usually have AppleCare available at a discount from what Apple directly charges.

If I get 256Gb SSD then much less need for Apple Care?

Hi I am thinking of getting the 256Gb SSD instead of the 320Gb 7200rpm drive. If I do that do you still think I need to get Apple Care? I am an educator so Apple Care is $249. If there's much less need for Apple Care with SSD, then in effect taking the $249 and applying to the cost of a SSD, it brings down the price to $675 - $249 = $451!

No, there is no less need for AppleCare with a SSD. If the SSD itself should fail, replacing it yourself after your 1-year warranty expires will cost more than the AppleCare plan. If any other part of the machine should fail, repairing that is almost certain to cost more than the AppleCare plan too. If you don't buy the SSD and your standard hard drive fails after your 1-year warranty expires, replacing it yourself costs far less than the AppleCare plan and is so simple to do that you'd be crazy to have a service provider do it for you.
Whichever kind of drive you buy, choosing whether or not to buy AppleCare is a separate decision and shouldn't be influenced by your choice of drive.
If I were strapped for funds and in your position, I'd spend the money on Applecare sooner and wait for SSD prices to come way down and speeds to go way up in a few months or a year. AppleCare is a good investment at any time, particularly if you can buy it at a deep discount. A solid state drive is not a good investment yet for anyone whose MBP won't spend its days jouncing across the veldt in a Land Rover, being buffeted at sea in a small yacht, or banging from pothole to pothole in an urban police cruiser or bike messenger bag.

Camera faulty on iphone I have taken it to apple store but because they have already replaced it within the last 12 months for something else they said they can't do anything even though I have paid for apple care. What are my rights ?

How do I purchase these tools for apple care technicin training

How do I purchase the tools for the on line course in apple care technician training? Can I get access to an old computer from Apple to work on?

If by "tools" you are referring to physical tools, you can buy tools through any standard tool seller or electronics parts supplier. I'm not aware that Apple sells tools, though I may well be wrong. I've never been a member of the certification program so I don't know all the features of the program.
Apple will not sell you discontinued computers. If you need a computer they no longer sell in the Apple Store as new or in the refurbished section, you'll need to look to independent dealers or private sellers.

Keeping packaging for apple care?

Hello,
I've just bought a new macbook pro (1st time ) and I wonder if it is required to keep the laptop packaging regarding to apple care?
I means if one day I need to send my laptop to the support will I need to have the original packaging or not?
Thank you
leoz

It is always best to keep the original box the computer came in. Even if you never have to send it in, and with Mac's you normally take it to an Apple Genius Bar, what if in the future you want to sell it. The box makes it worth just a little more.
As to the Applecare extended warranty Apple states that you KEEP all the packaging it came in. Even though it is registered to you.

Why has the price of apple care for MBP retina increased?

A couple of weeks ago I'm so sure it was quoted as approx $250, now it is $429! I'm looking at the 2.3 gHz model and using the Australian website both times... My main concern is has the price increased because there are alot of problems with the MBP retina?

250 is for Air & 13" models
350 for 15-17" and Retina
Just where are you seeing 429. Post a link.

Price for apple displays

hey. I am new to apple products, but am think of upgrading to a mac fairly soon. I was just wondering why apple displays are so expensive. I am willing to pay for a good display and like the apple's disign, but it seems to me that larger displays from other companies are much cheaper. please explain...

Hi-
It's not only larger that counts.
Apple is fairly expensive, but if you look at other HD, (true)widescreen displays, there are not that many that are directly comparible. This is espacially true in the performance spec comparison- you have to compare HD widescreen to HD widescreen- 4:3 ratio LCD's are numerous, many with higher performance specs, but they are not HD widescreen......
Also, you have to admit that the design IS very sexy- and the aluminum housing does cost more to produce than a poly/plastic/acrylic housing.......
Aimed at the higher end market (as are G5's), all the clean, beautiful design, ergonomics, and excellent function, demand a higher price.
I am not a "high ender", but, the Apple Cinema Display was, and is, my first choice.
G4AGP(450)Sawtooth, 2ghz PowerLogix, 1.62gbRAM, 120gb+160gb HD, ATI Radeon 9800 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Pioneer DVR-109, LaCie 160gb, 23"Cinema Display, Ratoc USB2.0, Nikon Coolscan

What is the price for Apple Pages?

How much does Apple Pages cost?

It depends upon how you get it.
If you purchase the iWork pack which also includes Numbers and Keynote from the Apple Store or third party sellers it has a price of $79.
If you purchase Pages via the Mac App Store it is $19.99.
If you purchase Pages for an iPad/iPhone/iTouch it runs a bit less $9.99.

Price for Apple Extreme Base Station

I am lookin to buy one of these, and Best Buy is the closest store to me that carries them. The problem is why are they charging $189 for it? I can buy it directly from Apple for $179! Same goes for the Airport Express. Apple sells them for $99, Best Buy $109? What's with the guaging, "Best Buy"?

It's not really an "issue". Some people would consider a slight price increase if they can walk into a real store, and go hands on with the product, plus have a place where they can go to return the item or deal with any issues encountered. Best Buy is a company, and like any other comapny, wants to be profitable. If the product you are interested in is selling for a higher price, then that means that there are foiks willing to pay that price.
I still say that if you go into the store and politely ask them to price match based upon your research, you might be pleasantly surprised. If, on the other hand, you go into the store demading a price match and accusing the store of price gouging, then I think it's likely nou'll not get very far.

Waiting time for Apple Care...

Hello!
I'm an italian guy with the "usuals" MBP problems... the Moo Sound it isn't for me a big problem, the whine disturb me a lot.... but, I hate the space bar that doesn't works... VeryoftenIwritelikethisline...
So I think to call Apple to send MBP for assistance. I use this Mac for work every day and my old Powerbook it is already sell... how many time Apple take for assistance? It is possible to make a little poll in the forum?
thank you!

Support from Apple varies depending on several factors i.e. type of failure, parts on hand, location of nearest facility, etc. In your case, it’s really hard to tell. Who knows, perhaps they will simply exchange the unit based on the defective keyboard. Anyway, good luck.
p.s. My future wife lives in Verona and I will be there later this month.

Stuck on Step 1 for Apple Care

Like the title says and I've had no emails or anything from Aple.
I requested service on 12/26/11 for iPod battery issues.
Why is nothing happing? Should I wait longer?

If the update is stuck on step 1, I know it sounds counter intuitive, but unplug the apple tv from power and restart the update. It was a known issue with the update when it was released.
