Does my warranty cover my repairs if I dropped my Macbook Pro?

I purchased it July 2011 so it hasn't been a year yet. Does Apple cover this or just technical gliches?

No, there's no insurance provided by Apple.  You can see if your insurance company will cover it, but be wary...  you should make sure your insurance company won't jack up your monthly payments after filing such a claim.  (I once filed a minor claim for water damage from a leaking sink, and I paid for that claim amount within 6 months due to higher premiums, then had to continue paying the higher premium after.)

  • I have a crack in my rear-facing camera does the warranty cover this repair? It's about 5 months old.

    If it was caused by a defect thenyes.  If caused by accidental damage like dropping then likely not. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and find out.
    If it is only a cosment defect, the warranty does not cover it.

  • Does my warranty cover the repair of dead pixels?

    Hi everyone!
    First time posting on these discussion boards and have a question regarding my MBP. I purchased this retina display 15 inch macbook pro last year in October and pretty much fell in love with it. This is my first time buying a mac product having previously been a windows user. I started noticing that a few of the pixels have died, showing no colour, standing out in white. It began with just one but now I have 5 small clusters showing quite noticeably. I do know that it came with a warranty and it's not even been a year yet, can I return this for repair? Any help would be appreciated!

    One:  Buy AppleCare for your system before the one year mark.  That extends the 1 year warranty to 3 and extends phone support to 3 years as well.  But the "one year from purchase" deadline is rarely waived.
    Two: Go to the Genius Bar and ask them.  We are just users like you, and anything we say does not guarantee what Genius Bar will do.  I have heard from other posters that apple has a minimum number dead pixels that are just considered "acceptable", but then my memory is even older than I am.
    Good luck.

  • Does the warranty cover cracked screens?

    Does the warranty cover cracked screens? I dropped it by accident?

    SantannaF, just what are you saying?
    - The warranty that covmes with the iPod does not cover a broken screen.
    - When this post was written, there wan an extented warranty, AppleCare that yo could purchase the increased the waranry period from one year to two years. It still did not cover accidental damage like a broken screen.
    - Now, Apple offers for a price, AppleCare+. That covers replacment for a broken screen for a fee of $29
    extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPod and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $29 service fee plus applicable tax.1

  • Hello, my MacBook just fell on the floor and there is a massive smash on the rear aluminum part. Is it fixable? Does the warranty cover this type of damage? If not, how much would it cost me to get it fixed?

    Hello, my MacBook just fell on the floor and there is a massive smash on the rear aluminum part. Is it fixable? Does the warranty cover this type of damage? If not, how much would it cost me to get it fixed?
    PS: I bought it on the USA, but currently living in Brazil . I guess though there is a apple store in the shopping mall.

    Accidental damage is not covered by warranty. As to cost to fix, we can not say as we do not know what internal/external components were damaged. Take the computer to an authorized repair center for assessment and estimate to repair.

  • What does the warranty cover exactly?

    Well my itouch just randomly goes dark.... So dark I cant see it. One minute its on then bam it shuts off. Also, the headphones are not as loud. Does my warranty cover this? If so, do I have to travel to an apple retail store or can I lpmail my itouch to them? I have an ipod touch 4g 8 gb.

    You can check the warranty:

    Basically, it covers defects in manufacture. It does not cover accidental damage like caused by dropping it.
    You can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store are send it to them, For details see:

  • 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.

  • Does the warranty cover loss/stolen ipod touch?

    we think my son's ipod that he just got for Christmas was stolen/lost yesterday, does the warranty cover this?  Is there a way to track it or see if someone's using it?  He is devastated.

    Not covered by warranty.
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing

  • What does a question mark and i file mean on my macbook pro

    what does a question mark and i file mean on my macbook pro when i turn it on?

    To be more specific, the computer is not finding a valid system when it starts up. This may result from the hard drive's physical mechanism failing, or the system on the drive being corrupted in some way.
    Repairing permissions is not likely to fix this issue. Instead I would suggest booting from the system install DVD, running Disk Utility, selecting your hard drive's partition and select *Repair Disk*.
    Note: if the hard drive does not show up in Disk Utility at all, it is dead and will need to be replaced. Contact Apple (800-275-2273 in the USA) and have them set up warranty service, or carry the MacBook in to an Apple retail store to have it fixed. Be sure to [make an appointment|http://www.apple.com/retail] first you you may wait a long time to speak to a Mac Genius.
    If Repair Disk finds any problems and is able to correct them, you may be able to restart and everything be okay. If it is unable to correct the problems, you will need to erase and restore your hard drive.
    If Repair Disk does not find any problems, I would suggest an Archive and Install as described in [this article|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710].
    Best of luck.
