Does Apple need prove of ID to use warranty?

My friends moving away to the UK and I am thinking of buying his iphone as his not going to be able to use it, the only problem is that if the phone were to break in some sort of way does it mean I'll have to pay to get it fixed or get it fixed under warranty as it is still under warranty. I plan to go to the apple store if needed
Also he bought the phone at telstra
Currently Living in Melbourne
thanks in advance

Warranty is tied to the device.
Any one can walk in off the street with an iDevice and get it replaced under warranty, assuming the issue is something covered under warranty.

I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

How Long does Apple need to send me my bill via email?

I bought my iPad 4 days ago(Saturday) and still didn't receive the bill via email yet neither does it appear on my bank account.
How long does apple need? Is this normal?

It can take a while for you to get your iTunes receipt, depending on business hours. You can see your orders by signing in to iTunes. Details are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727

Why does apple need my password to fix my broken ipod classic?

Took my ipod in to curry's to be repaired and the shop assistant told me that apple needed my apple id and password for repairs, why is this?

Yep. 76 others. I'm the 77th one straight off of the assembly line.
As for plan A, there never was one.
Actually, it was a username/alias I had originally just thrown together when I first signed up. I had no idea I would stick around this long.

Why does apple need creditcard info to download the free yosemite update?

I want to know why Apple needs creditcard info to download the free Yosemite update.

Apple sets the rules.

Why does Apple need to keep me from connecting my Iphone on my home computer and my work computer?

I travel alot for work and the fact that I can't dock my Iphone until I get home or that I have to email work pictures to my self from home to work because Apple can't trust people with their own content is really, really annoying.
What are you doing Apple? Are you trying to upset your clientel? Is it too hard for you to believe that I have a home computer and a laptop? Of which, you sell all of the the above, but if they were to be able to interact with each........no, no, that would just make too much sense.

Does apple needs to make a external hard drive?

me personally. i think if apple would make a external hard drive or make the ipad/iphone/ipod compatible with a third party hard drive i wouldnt have a need for a computer the apple system would be a all in one. Im going to get a ipad 2 but was interested to see if any one else was interested in this. thank you

I don't quite understand the original post. The iPad already has internal storage, using flash memory. What do you believe you need the hard drive for? As the other poster pointed out, the hard drive is not what you initialize the iPad with - you still need an actual computer. Some kind of external drive wouldn't help you.

Why does Apple need to charge for feature updates, but Sony doesn't?

Ok, so I know all about the subscription-based accounting reasons for why Apple has to charge a nominal fee for firmware updates that provide new features to the iPod touch (but not iPhone).
I don't have a problem with this fee, and personally think its quite reasonable, and am happy to pay it.
However, I'm curious as to why Apple has to charge for these updates, but Sony doesn't - and I've not been able to find a reason.
Since the release of both Sony's PSP and PS3 video game consoles, Sony have frequently released firmware updates that add many minor and some very significant new features to both consoles, as Apple have done with the iPod touch.
However, Sony has never charged for these new features. Does anyone really know why there's this difference?

You better believe that any company doing business in the US has to follow US laws. You don't get to just say, oh well we have our headquarters in another country so we can do what we want in yours. Hehe I am pretty sure diplomatic immunity doesn't come with selling something in the US. The accounting reason is a sham. Apple knows that their customers are desperate for "coolness" and will sacrifice features and customer service and pay for that privelege.
What really gets me is that I already bought the January update. The only thing 2.0 adds is the "priveledge" of paying Apple to buy applications. So of course I bought the 2.0 update because I am an idiot and now my audiobooks will not play. Will they support it no. I buy an update from them, it screws up my ipod and then I can't even call or email to get some help. Instead I have to travel an hour to the nearest Apple store. I recently bought my first iPod but after all the horrendous experiences I have had with their lack of support and idiotic "geniuses" at the genius bar, I will never buy another apple product. Which is too bad because they have the most elegant and fun to use interfaces. However, I would rather have something a bit less elegant but that I can get service on without a 3 hour time commitment on my part.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I see in your description that you mention the iMac 1 TB Seagate Hard Drive Replacement Program, so I suppose that your iMac was eligible for the hard disk replacement.
When I took my iMac for the same replacement program, the Genius told me that Apple and Seagate need the drive theoretically to "diagnose what the problem is with these hard disks". It's highly probable that this is true, because they have to see what's failing, and in the case of this replacement program, Apple doesn't allow you to take the old hard drive with you after the hard disk replacement because of that.
That's why we recommend to erase the hard disk using a Disk Utility's security option before taking it in, just in case you are a bit paranoid and you don't want to have your files on a hard drive that Apple will take in

Does email need to be setup to use iMessage?

When using iMessage (iPhone to iPhone), does the iPhone need to have an email account setup to send pictures/videos? Text messages work fine.

Why when I am trying to install a free game app does Apple need my credit card info?

I am trying to install a free game app and it won't install without my credit card info. Why?

To verify that you are who you claim to be in the country where you claim to
be so you can use that country's AppStore. Also because many free apps have in-app
purchases.

I downloaded a ringtone from Itunes and apple owned company to my Iphone4 and then followed all the instructions sent to itunes on pc and synced back to iphone still got squat. Why does apple need to be so hard for something so simple.

I downloaded a ringtone from itunes (an apple company) to my iphone4 (an Apple product). Followed all the instructions from "Help" boards, sent to itunes on my pc converted to m4r synced back to iphone and still got squat. I thought iphones and apple were supposed to be so user friendly? Any other phone you download a ringtone click on it "use as ringtone" and your done.

Frank, thanks for your note. I wrote "COMPLETED" because I had gone to a lot of effort to get the content of the book precisely as I wanted it. I would fully expect to see my level of effort and care matched by functional competence in Aperture 3 to render the book the way I created it. Too much to ask?
And yes, I upgraded the Aperture 2 Library first. [Not ALL my tens of 000s of pix, because I use Lightroom selectively for photo editing. But Yes to the Aperture 2 Library.] That step took a number of minutes, but seemed to work fine (no error messages of any kind).
Then I opened the existing book project in Aperture 3, which followed some "magic-box" process that took a minute or so. As I said, when that step was done, by all appearances the book was ready to submit for printing - until I examined the photos a little more closely. You did see the blurry example I included, didn't you? That is what each and every photo looks like.
Text-box content appears to have been rendered pertectly, for the record (including captions).
So, ... is this result something you have heard of before? Do you know of a one-step solution? Or am I looking at an extended picture-by-picture fix?

Does ipad needs to be unlocked to use outside US. I mean GSM in India

Hi, Do we have to unlock the ipad to use outside US. I am trying to use it in India. I bought a GSM (AT&T) ipad first Generation one.
I bought a GSM 3G connection here in India and it doesnt seem to be working. So do I have to get it unlocked or does it come unlocked.
My Ipad shows Airtel and 3G with full signal strength but am not able to use saffari to browse internet.
Please let me know what is to be done.
Regards
Sutheesh

The AT&T original iPad is not locked to AT&T. Does the microSIM that you have actually provide a data plan or just phone service?

When does Apple confirm their problem with the firmware 1.1 on 5g ipods???

I'm really frunstrated about the unwillingness from apple support to address/confirm the issue around firmware 1.1 on 5g ipods.
I spent hours to talk to support and explain varios tests I did on that subjetct, but apple keeps saying: It's not our problem!
Shame on apple! I really thaught apple is different, but it turns out, that between shareholder value und marketing campaines there's no space for customer care....
Did somone suffering with the same issue (video freezes after 30 sec and continues without sound) got any better answer from apple?
What information does apple need to confirm it's apple's problem?

PowerBook 12" Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I have bought my 30GB iPod Video just 3days ago, and it tried to upgrade the ipod updater to 1.1.
I have updated my ipod without a problem. And I had also updated to latest version of iTunes.
Itunes had given error few times and closed itself while optimizing photos before transfering them to ipod. I have sorted out that it was due to my photo folder being over 2GB's, than started importing them in smaller portions by adding a new folder each time. Afterwords, photos and pictures copied to iPod without problems.(but i have to add, i have received a nonsense error like 'itunes cant write to folder or something)
After a bit of dazzling and struggling i was able to play videos and music as well. But after few seconds iPod screen frozen and i wasnt able to do anything. I have reboot it, and tried to change songs, and after few songs, the screen frozen again, wheel was not functioning but funny part, music was still playing. I got online and checked the forums and seen other people having those problems after upgrading to new firmware. I have uninstalled the 1.1 firmware and installed the one on CD, and I have also downgraded my version of iTunes as well. Now things seems to work all fine.
I just don't get why apple withdraws this buggy problametic version of firmware, they will drive more users go mad and not every computer/iPod user would figure out why it happened themselves...
One more thing I have to add. Why I am also having hard to understand why each version of iTunes started consuming unbelievedable amount of RAM on computer. I have 1.4Mhz centrino with 512 RAM, and the sound distorts(slows down) over iTunes when start copying files from DVD. Or it cause errors and shutdowns 'on optimizing photos' stage on iTunes when i try to copy photos to my iPod. I don't think 1.4Mhz and 512mb ram shall be called as low resource simply to use iTunes. They really need to retest, debug and optimize their software. And immediately, remove that 1.1 firmware from apple.com until they resolve the bugs and error inside it.
