Did you buy the Applecare  for iPad?

Did you buy the applecare with your new iPad or planning to buy it? It says that for $99.99 CAN, it extends the warranty and technical support to 2 years. Plus it covers hardware damage but you have to pay extra $49.00 for service. I broke the glass from my iPhone before 1 day after I got it, Rogers told me that it will cost $400 for the repair, so I had to find a local person to repair it and it costs me $120.00 but I see some dusts trap inside it. Do you think for an extra $100, this is worthed?

There are two kinds of apple care.
Regular Apple care that has been for sale up to this last week and Apple Care +
Regular Apple Care
Can buy anytime in the first year's manufacturer's warranty
Applies only to manufacturer's defects, does NOT cover accidental damage
Any unauthorized repairs will void it
Apple Care +
Must be bought in the first 30 days after purchase
(may/may not apply to the iPad 3 only)
Covers up to 2 instances of accidental damage with a fee of $49 per incident
I presume that any unauthorized repairs will void it
What you got with yours was regular Apple Care, which infamously did not cover screen breakage. Most people  were quoted repair prices starting at $269 and up depending on model. And really it wasn't as much a repair as it was you being allowed to purchase a refurbished device to replace your broken one with.
Apple Care Plus means that if you break your screen, you have up to 2 chances to only pay $49 for a replacement/Repair (no idea if they do the refurb swap or if they really fix it.....with the program in play only a week or so there's no real data available)
I personally got the regular Apple Care. Apple Care + didn't exist a few months ago. I hadn't originally bought it, but after my new iPad's 30 pin port corked it on me (best buy replaced it) I realized that there are certainly batches out there with manufacturer's defects in them and the $99 was a relatively cheap insurance policy against me getting another device with errors in it. (my theory.....some factories aren't as good as others or get batches of bad pieces and parts, so you end up with some out there with errors in them)
In your case, regular Apple Care wouldn't have helped you since it doesn't cover damage. however, Depending on how expensive the Care + is, if I had a new iPad I'd seriously consider it.

  • Does is matter where you buy the applecare?

    Hello, I have a 13" MacbookPro which I bought from the Israeli reseller (iDigital).
    my warranty is about to end in a week and I want to buy the applecare.
    The issue is that in my country (Israel) this plan cost about 390$ (140$ more than buying it on the apple online store). Can I buy the applecare from this website or from another country?
    Is the local reseller must accept it?
    Thanks in advanced

    No it doesn't matter but will Apple USA ship to Israel. Because to actualy use the Apple Care extended warranty you have to recieve the box it comes in and use a number on a card to register the Apple care to the Mac computer it is going to be used with.
    If you ordered it today and it shipped tomorrow, which it won't because it is Sunday, would you recieve it within a week? I doubt it.
    So go out on Monday to your local Apple store and buy it locally.

  • How long did you have the micro for without headphones jack proble

    Well i just wanna see the numbers. Perhaps the issue is inflated since people who do not have the problem stay silent and are out-voiced by the (understandably) angry mob of those who do. This would also give me an idea of how likely i am to have to go September without an mp3 player (Based on the three month product-life estimate)

    I got my Zen Micro at the end of January.
    First of all I am NOT suggesting that people haven't had valid problems with their ZM's but for what it's worth..................
    I haven't had any problems with the headphone jack, however that may be because i take the headphone out of the socket after each use so it doesn't get bent etc. when put in a bag or pocket etc.
    I use it a lot on planes trains and in the Gym.
    Some people have said "really you take the headphone out after listening - oh thats such a big deal"
    but it isn't - unless you're 2 years old and it's the only thing on your mind.

  • How do you locate the download for iPad 1 ios 4.2?

    A friend has determined we need version ios 4.2 to run a new printer for an iPad 1.  Documentation indicates to use iTines to download but we can not locate the software download. 

    Apple does not offer old versions of iOS. Only the most recent version, iOS 5 is available through iTunes.
    Here is a direct link to manually download the upgrade;
    http://appldnld.apple.com/iPad/061-9857.20101122.VGthy/iPad1,1_4.2.1_8C148_Resto re.ipsw
    After you have downloaded the file connect your iPad to your computer and open the iTunes app on the computer. Select your iPad in the Devices list and right click over the Update button. Browse to where the file has been downloaded to your computer and select it. Hopefully iTunes can verify this upgrade for your iPad and install it for you.

  • Would you recommend the AppleCare plan for iPad?

    Hello, All
    I got an iPad for Christmas (my first Apple product), and I'm trying to decide whether to buy the AppleCare plan for it.
    Does anyone have any experience with using the AppleCare plan, or getting support for a broken iPad without the plan? Would you recommend getting it?

    In the past, with computers that could be opened and fixed by replacing parts, a service plan was not particularly advantageous for those who could swap out a dead HD and put in a new one. When laptops arrived, many thought that since it was a "closed system", it would be best to get a contract. I'd say with the iPad, it's really a closed system for most of us, and buying a plan may be as prudent as for laptops - but then there's the price to consider, given the price of the iPad. I think you can buy a plan anytime before the original warranty expires, so you could hold off.

  • HT5691 So should I wait to buy my applecare for my MacBook Pro until the one year warrantee is almost up?

    Does it make a difference when you buy your applecare?

    Thanks, I had forgotten that little but important detail!
    I once considered Applecare for that specific reason and that is why it popped into my mind when I read the post.  I trust that my contrary answer was not meant in any way a criticism of your response.  Regarding its importance, that is to be determined by each individual.  For me it is now moot since I did not purchase Applecare. 

  • Did you get the iPad 2?

    Hey fellow Apple people,
    I'm looking to interview people who have the iPad 2 about the things they like and dislike about it for a Yahoo! news article. If you're interested please let me know!
    Thanks!

    Ok There seems to be alot of confusion on hear about the Friday ( 07-08-11) Update that was sent out to fix the Reboot issue with the Phone. Some people like my self have reported that they can not get the Update as there phone is getting an inability to connect to the network error, or the update window simply disappears with out a response (This is what is happening to me).
    Many have reported that they got the update it fixed the reboot bug, and that they are seeing improvement in the phones functionality in general. Some people have reported that they have heard that the update is causing more problems. What I have yet to see (And I might have simply missed them) is reports from users that this has actually happened to them. So I started this Thread to see if we can't get a straight answer from the people that are actually using the phone (Because it seems VZW and HTC don't' seem to know or want to tell us right now) 
    So hear is what Im asking 
    1) Did you get the Update Yes, I requested it at 7:50pm, 7/8/11
    2) Did it Fix The Reboot Bug From The Last Update Yes
    3) How is the performance of the phone now  Much better, I no longer have data drops so I no longer need to turn on and off Airplane mode to get data back
    4) Has the latest update brought any new problems Zilch, none, nada, nope
    Hopefully this clears up any confusion and we can all get a clear idea of weather this update is a worth bothering with.

  • When I bought my MacBook Pro, I didn't buy the AppleCare PP with it. Now, is it possible for me to buy it separately to cover my MacBook?

    When I bought my MacBook Pro from Apple online store, I didn't buy the AppleCare Protection Plan with it. Now I'm in a different country from where I've bought my MacBook Pro. Is it possible for me to buy AppleCare Protection Plan separately to cover my MacBook?

    You should be able to do this if your MBP is still under the original warranty, i.e., under a year old, but it may vary depending on the region where you are. See: http://www.apple.com/legal/sales-support/applecare/appgeos.html

  • I would like to know if once you have bought Pages for ipad you must buy it for I mac too.

    Hi everybody! My name's Davide and it is the first time here for me.
    I would like to know if once you have bought Pages for Ipad ii you must buy it again in case you have an iMac.
    Thanks

    The Mac & iOS Numbers are two separate applications for two different operating systems. You need to buy both, but only once for each OS.

  • So if i had lost my ipod, and i had bought the applecare for my ipod, do you think i would be able to get a new ipod since i have the applecare on it? or to get a new one would i have to give thee device in then get a new one?

    so if i had lost my ipod, and i had bought the applecare for my ipod, do you think i would be able to get a new ipod since i have the applecare on it? or to get a new one would i have to give thee device in then get a new one?

    Applecare has nothing to do with a lost or stolen device.
    You would have to buy a new ipod.

    If you have iWork 09, then the latest version should be available for free in the Mac App Store. If you have the new version on your iPad, then you'll need the new version on your Mac as well. The whole point of the latest version is that you can access and edit your files equally on iPad/iPhone, Mac, and also through the iCloud website.

    I was downloading a movie on my iPad and I stopped downloading it and I want to delete it and it won't. How do you delete it in the iTunes for iPad.

    If you tap and hold down the icon - and the X does not appear on the icon - you will not be able to delete it without totally downloading it. Finish the download and then delete it.
