Does Apple iPad warranty cover cosmetic damages?

I have the iPad smart cover on my iPad 3 and after some time I've noticed a few scratches on the side of my iPad. Only a cosmetic thing, but wondering if apple one year warranty covers cosmetic damages. It was their faulty cover and error in creating a protective cover. So, again, will the warranty over it?

I'd take it into an Apple Store and ask, but I doubt the one-year warranty will cover minor stuff like cosmetic damages. I imagine it only covers problems like the iPad just suddenly dying on you for no reason. It might depend just how bad the damages are, too.
HOWEVER, if you really really don't like the cosmetic damages you can get AppleCare (I think it's around $99 for iPads) and they'll replace it for you rather than having to pony up $500+ for another iPad.

Does Apple's warranty cover dead pixels on the iPhone 4S?

I received my iPhone 4S in the mail today and a few hours after I had been using it I noticed a tiny dot on the screen. At first I ignored it, thinking it would go away, but it hasn't. I searched what the problem was and found out it is a dead pixel. Like I said it's very small but it really bothers me every time I watch a video or take a picture. If I take it to my local apple store, will the warranty cover this?

The warranty should cover it if it is a defect in manufacture. In any case, you are covered by the 30 day trial return period.

I believe you may be correct - I can't find it available in the UK
Probably a casualty of your wonderful Consumer Protection Act. The US is not far behind.

Does my 1year warranty cover water damage?

Dropped my phone in a cup of milk, only damaged battery life and sometimes sumiltaniously shuts off..

If you are taking about support "pay-per-incident" then you can always use that service, but it will cost you. It your iPhone was still under warranty before the water damage then you should be able to contact Apple at no charge.

Does apple care warranty cover mighty mouse?

hi.
as many has experienced, i experienced problems with scrolling up and/or down w the mighty mouse. i tried to clean it with a few methods, and the one that worked was when i used a clean piece of paper, turned the mouse upside down, and rubbed it forwards and backwards several times.
unfortunately, it now seems that i might have solved the scrolling problem (but its slowly not scrolling as well already!). but i cant activate the 3rd button anymore. i press down on the ball and instead of activating the 3rd button, it right clicks or left clicks instead.
i also notice the ball is not as smooth as before. there is some fraying on the surface of the ball.
my intel imac has apple protection care plan till june 2009. can the mighty mouse be replaced?

Actually in 2 months my Mighty Mouse will be 3 years old.

Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8

Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8?

The kit is firmly inserted in thhe iPad's dock ? You could also try a reset and see if it's recognised after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
I haven't had problems using the kit with SD cards from Canon cameras . What capacity is the card, and it's an SD or SDHC card - if it's an SDXC card that's formatted as ExFAT then it won't be recognised

My Mac was hit by the floods from Hurricane Sandy, Would the Apple Care warranty cover for fixing it?

My Mac was hit by the floods from Hurricane Sandy, Would the Apple Care warranty cover for fixing it?

You can try your homeowner's insurance company; unfortunately, the hardware warranty was most likely voided. You can read it here:

If you are referring to the extended Applecare Protection Plan:

(external causes are specifically excluded)

No, only manufacturer defects. If you have total equipment coverage, you can file an insurance claim, and get a replacement for a deductible...www.phoneclaim.com

Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)
iPad model
Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
iPad mini
$219
iPad 3rd, 4th generation
$299
iPad 2, iPad
$249
A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

My iphone got wet? does rice work? does the warranty cover water damage?

i spilled a bit of water on it, and the screen is not responding.

Power it off and put in a sealed plastic bag with uncooked rice and do not touch for at least 3 days. There's a very small chance it will work again, but even if it does, it's likely to have new problems develop
The standard iPhone warranty does not cover water damage, and in fact is completely voided by water exposure. Unless you purchased AppleCare+ or other hazard insurance, the best you can hope for is an out-of-warranty replacement, price varying with country.

HT1349 Does the warranty cover external damage?

I've had my Iphone for less than a week and I have just dropped it and the screen has smashed.
Does the warranty cover it?

If you purchased AppleCare+ coverage when you purchased your iPhone, your accidental damage would be covered for the cost of the "deductable" ($49 in the US). If you did not purchase AppleCare+, then as Kappy said you will have to pay for replacement.
Regards.
