How can Apple charge for Applecare on a product that isn't yet shipping?

I just noticed on 3/12 I got dinged $99 for Applecare on my iPad 3G+Wifi which won't ship until later this month, and I've been informed that nothing is actually shipped to me regarding Applecare - the iPad will be auto enrolled.
I also got dinged for the iPad case on 3/27 but I guess I can understand that since they've actually shipped the case. I don't like it - what good is a case without an iPad, but I understand it.
I thought you could bill for product until it ships. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I can feel your pain...but as you already pointed out AppleCare doesn't actually ship...it's an auto enroll... though I do agree it's kind of silly to charge you already...
Call them and see if they can adjust that until you actually have it in hand
Personally I don't buy Apple Care until at minimum 3 months after I purchase an item...within that first 90 days the Apple Care doesn't add more coverage than the normal Apple warranty... then within the first year you are covered for manuf. defects by Apple anyway...so unless you need to call and get phone support...having both at same time during that first year does't really do much for you... again after the first 90 days if you need phone support you NEED AppleCare... but if not then buying AppleCare right before you first year is over wont change your coverage options for defects that occur

  • My grandson has a iPod touch 4th and has broken the screen, does any body know how much apple charge for replacement and can you wait for it to be done or does it get sent away.

    My grandson has broken his screen on his iPod 4th touch. Does anybody know how much apple charge to replace and do they do it while you wait

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for  64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs unless you have AppleCare+ extended warranty. Then it would be $29. They do not fix yours.

  • How much apple charge for broken screen iPhone 5

    How much charge iPhone 5 broken screen replace

    Apple reportedly now will replace the screen in an iPhone 5 for US $149. Availabllity of repair services may vary by country, and I'm not sure if other models of iPhone also can be repaired, so call Apple Support or visit an Apple Store and ask for information. For other problems Apple at this time does not at this time repair iPhones, but will replace the entire iPhone for a flat fee. If you have AppleCare+ coverage, the cost will low; in the US it's $49. If you do not have AppleCare+ on your iPhone, see the Service Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
    There are independent iPhone repair services that may be able to do the repair for less than Apple's out-of-warranty charge. Do a web search for "iPhone repair". Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPhone serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further warranty and support from Apple will be voided.
    Regards.

  • Does anyone know how much apple charges for replacement screens?

    Or if they even replace them?
    If they only replace the whole phone - how much is an iphone 5 refurbished?
    My screen's glass smashed, not badly, and didn't at all affect the touch screen its just getting really annoying looking at such an expensive piece of equpitment with broken glass on it.
    Thanks.

    And those unofficial shops will void your warranty. Even if it were a tad more expensive to go the Apple route (which isn't , in this case), I would not recommend going with unauthorized repair. Besides the warranty issue, they do not usually use genuine parts and the rpair itself might cause other problems in the future....

  • Can you charge an ipod on a computer that isn't formatted for i tunes?

    All data is on my daughter's computer. If i were to plug her ipod into my computer to try to charge it, is that doable or not doable?

    Yes, that is possible.
    When it is done charging, just make sure you eject it properly. Hit the Safely Remove Hardware icon by the clock in windows and go to stop iPod device. Then the main menu will appear and you can remove the iPod without damaging it. (This makes Do Not Disconnect go away)

  • How can I deauthorize a computer from an account that isn't mine?

    One of my sister's ex-friends authorized my family's computer and I need to deauthorize it.I have no clue how to and my sister's old friend isn't allowed over to our house anymore.Can you tell me how to deauthorize it?

    Hello pooh122159
    You can do a Deauthorize all to remove all authorizations without having to download iTunes on the computer. Go to the iTunes Store on a computer and sign in to view your account. Once there you will see a section about authorizations and how many are there. Then you can Deauthorize all and all you would have to do after that is authorize the computers that they want.

  • How can I send an audio file via mms that isn't a MEMO?

    Can someone please help? Am i missing something here? i have an Iphone 4 and I cannot find how to do this....
    Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.

    The only audio files that can be sent by MMS using an iPhone are those created by the voice memo app, unless there is an app in the app store that provides this functionality.

    I don't know any exact numbers, but I'm sure it would depend on what is wrong with the iPod.
    If you have an Apple Store nearby, make a reservation at the +Genius Bar+ (using the web page for the store) and take it there.

  • How can I charge my iPad 2 when I'm already using the port for a projector?

    I run training workshops all day and want to use my iPad to run Keynote or PowerPoint through a projector. I already have the VGA adaptor and that all works fine. Trouble is, the battery only lasts half the day. So I have to swap over to a netbook for the rest of that day while the iPad charges...
    Is there a double-adaptor that will allow me to plug the charger in as well as the VGA adaptor?
    Seems such an obvious thing to want to do but I've looked all over for an adaptor and I haven't found one...
    How can you charge an iPad if the only port on it is already occupied?
    Cheers
    Steve

    Hi Texas Mac Man
    Thanks for your suggestion. Kinda means I have to buy a wireless-capable projector. Most of the VGA projectors in the venues I work with are fixed-in-the-ceiling and not wireless capable...
    My luck with doing off-the-mainstream stuff like jailbreak etc is that (1) it won't work for me, or (2) it all goes horribly wrong, stuffs up my machine and voids the warranty... So I tend to stick to the proprietory stuff.
    Not very adventurous, but then I need dependable stuff with a warranty and someone I can yell at to fix it.
    Maybe Apple will read this and provide a risk-free solution.
    You never know....
    But thank you.

    Your card was not "charged".  Apple requested a charge hold approval.  They must submit an actual charge to the holding bank/institution within a set period (usually 5 business days) and if they don't the hold will roll off.  For free apps, they won't submit the actual charge, and the hold will roll off.  This is why you see so many people complaiing about not being able to "purchase" free apps, because the hold approval for $1.00 is rejected by their credit card company, either due to expired card, incorrect CVV, or no available credit.
