Does the apple care  for iphone 3gs cover water damage?

does the apple care + for iphone 3gs cover water damage?

No.  Terms of the warranty call that "abuse".
You can hope, and try:
Turn it off, leave it off
Put it in a pile of "dessicant packs" (shipping packs found in hard disk boxes), possibly in a plastic bag (NOT rice -- that has rice-dust which gets into the unit)
Maybe try turning it on again in about 4-5 days
But this is really a desperation move, and I would not do it myself (although others say they have tried it).
Most likely you are paying for either a repair or a new unit.

  • Apple Care+ for iPhone 5S & Apple Care Protection plan for MacBook

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding the apple care+ for iPhone and the Apple Care Protection plan for MacBook pro.
    Since I will soon be in Hong Kong, I intend to buy the iPhone 5S due to great savings compared to my come country.
    However, I have a question regarding the warranty which confuses me a bit.
    1) If I buy the iPhone 5S and the Apple care+, does that mean I will be covered world wide?
    I am from Denmark, and the applecare is currently not available from the Danish apple store. but does this imply that I will not be covered when I am in Denmark, in case of an incident?
    If not, what can one do? Should one ship it to an apple repair somewhere in a European country that is covered by the Applecare protection plan for iPhone?
    2) And the same question goes for the AppleCare Protection Plan for MacBook - will a MacBook with the protection plan bought from Hong Kong, and imported to Denmark, be covered world wide, or what limitations does it have?
    I was trying to look through the terms and conditions on the Hong Kong website, however, it does seem rather intransparent some times.
    3) Finally, I have a question about purchasing Apple equipment from the physical Apple store in Hong Kong. As I am a student, I would of course like to have the student prices - should there be any problems getting this price from the physical apple store, or can one only get it from online purchases? Is a valid student ID sufficient proof of student status?
    Regards,
    Michael

    Start here:
    Apple - Support - AppleCare+ - iPhone
    Apple - Support - AppleCare
    From each of those sites you should be able to discover what if any differences may prevail depending upon the country of purchase.
    Apple's warranties may not be honored outside of the country where the equipment was purchased. I have no way of knowing whether hardware purchased in Hong Kong will have a warranty honored in Denmark.
    If you have a valid student ID then the academic discount should be honored in the Hong Kong Apple Store.

  • Does the apple care plan cover cracked screens?

    Does the apple care plan cover cracked screens?

    You'll probably have to pay the flat-rate repair fee of $199, but you might as well make a reservation with a Genius and have them take a look at it.

  • How does one add a personal recorded M4R file to the ring tones in the UK system for iPhone 3GS

    How does one add a personal recorded M4R file to the ring tones in the UK system for iPhone 3GS.
    I have tried all sorts of ways of adding my personal M4R file but can't find the place (within the UK versions of iTunes} to transfer this file so that I can select it as a ring tone.
    I've tried also changing to the US version of iTunes and still can't find a way of doing it, although I have heard that it can be done.

    You should be able to just drop it into the library within iTunes.

    Check out the video above for a lot good info. The ringtone must be less than 35 seconds.

  • Is apple care for iphone limited for the country you've purchased?

    Is apple care for iphone limited for the country you've purchased?

    I believe it is international.
    Each product has a different AppleCare Agreement and different conditions.
    For the iPhone there are online several AppleCare manuals in different languages. May be they are just translations but may be each different language/country give different rules.
    Anyway if you buy in a country and register Applecare in that country you recive your actual Manual and rules to follow.  If you need assistence you can call your serivce number or start the request online. Apple will decide according to the problem and your location how to procede: you may go to a service center, or send the item to the adress Apple will provide to you, or Apple can send you parts to repair it yourselve.
    This should not be limited to a country.

  • Apple Care for iPhone 4 (and I live in Finland)

    Hi! I have bought Apple care for iPhone 4 from eBay. I live in Finland and here Apple doesn´t sell Apple Care Protection Plan. I have address in US (Borderlinx) if it could help me. Can anybody halp me??? How could I registeration my Apple Care!!!

    The AppleCare extended warranty for any Apple product is provided and honored by Apple and Apple only.
    If your iPhone was purchased in your country and Apple does not provide/support the AppleCare extended warranty for the iPhone in your country, you can't register your iPhone for the AppleCare extended warranty based in another country.
    If you know a place in Finland that will do this and work around laws and regulations for an extended warranty in a particular country, have the place you know in Finland get your iPhone registered for the AppleCare extended warranty for an iPhone sold in another county, which will be honored by Apple and Apple only in the country for an iPhone that was sold officially by Apple in that country.
    You've wasted your money.

  • What is the latest iOS for iPhone 3GS and will there be another update

    What is the latest iOS for iPhone 3GS and will there be another update or is it iOS 6.1.3 and no more

    The 3GS is not listed in the supported list for iOS7. Unless Apple comes out with a major bug fix, 6.1.3 will likely be the last update for it.

  • Why my apple care for iphone doesn't transfer to my new phone after I claim a new one from apple store ?

    2 days ago my iphone fall into a sink full of water. Yesterday I went to apple store and ask for apple care for iphone and they have it. So, I bought it and registered it right away since my iphone still be in a garentee and still not surpass one year usage. Then they told me that my iphone problem considered in a "physical damage case" which they have a policy for claiming a new iphone and pay some fee. After I got my new iphone, they said that all the information and phone data which is registered into apple system about the phone and the user and bla bla bla will transfer to my new iphone. Today, I just check my phone serial number in "support & coverage " column and I found that all the phone data in apple system is already transfered from the old one to the new one EXCEPT the data of apple care that I already registered before I claimed the new phone. Now, the question is " What can I do ? " and " will it be transferd to my new iphone or I have to buy a new apple care for my NEW PHONE That I got from their service "

    Placing your iPhone in the toilet was the correct thing to do but you should have purchased an android phone instead. That would have solved these issues. :-)

  • HT5691 Can i purchase apple care for iphone bought through verizon?

    Can i purchase apple care for iphone bought through verizon?  I want to upgarde thru verizon but don't want to pay a monthly fee with them for warranty. Verizon doesnt offer apple care on their website.

    Incorrect sir.
    After the 30 days YOU can still purchase Apple protection plan for $69, which extends your phone support just like AC+ and your hardware warranty just like AC+ it also gives you a a free battery replacement.
    The only difference between AC+ and Apple protection plan is that AC+ covers accidental damage.
    Customer who do not purchase AC+ or APP will then have to purchase a Pay-Per-Incident which is a $20 fee for each issue calling in on.
    Pay-Per-Incidents or PPI's last for 30 days on the one issue that they were purchased on.
    No, you cannot.
    An iPhone in the USA is eligible for AppleCare+ and ONLY AppleCare+.  AppleCare+ completely replaced AppleCare for iPhones when it was announced.  Check Apples own warranty pages on the web site.  You CANNOT buy AppleCare for an iPhone in the USA - ever.  It is not offered for iPhones any longer.

  • Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops?

    Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops? I assume it would show the new price in the Wish List but does it inform you if the price drops?

    The apps which show on the file sharing section on your iPad when connected to your computer's iTunes, you have exactly the same apps installed on your iPhone - they are not separate iPad and iPhone apps that you have installed on your iPad/iPhone, and only the iPad version supports file sharing ?
    For iBooks, that won't show, it doesn't support file sharing. You can add ibooks / epubs / PDFs to your computer's iTunes library (the iBooks app if you are using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it) via File > Add To Library, and you sync them to a device via its Books tab :
    If you want to copy them off the device to your computer's iTunes (to the iBooks app on Mavericks) then File > Devices > Transfer Purchases will copy them over (that will copy PDFs and epubs from the iBooks app on your device, not just ibooks).
