How long do i have to purchase apple care?

How long after the purchase date do i have until i can no longer purchase apple care? Ive heard from people you have within the year and from others that its only 30 days after the purchasing date.

The one year base warranty has to be still in effect when you activate AppleCare. Just don't cut it too close to the bone in case the activation process gets snagged.

  • How long can I wait to purchase apple care

    I just but the iphone 4s world phone without apple care, but I will be back in the states in april. Can i purchase the apple care by then or will ti be too late?

    In less than 30 seconds, this is what I found on Apple's website:
    AppleCare+ must be purchased within 30 days of the date you bought your new iPhone. If you did not purchase AppleCare+ with your iPhone, you may purchase it at an Apple Retail Store. To buy AppleCare+ at an Apple Retail Store, a Genius will first need to verify your iPhone purchase date and confirm that your iPhone has no pre-existing damage.

  • HT5691 How long do I have to purchase applecare

    Buying a iPad for my daughter do I need to get the AppleCare now or can I get it after Christmas when she first registers it?

    Generally, regular apple care can be bought in the first year. APple Care plus needs to be bought at the time of purchase. You can buy it within 30 days however your device must be inspected by an Apple employee. This is because Care Plus has an accidental damage clause  and they want to make sure you're not buying it after it's already broken.

  • How long do you have to decide on buying Apple Care?

    How long do they give you till you can't purchase Apple Care for your iPhone? I would suppose a little bit before the standard year is up?

    Can be bought at any time during the one year warranty period. Note that telephone support is only provided for 90 days. Buy applecare & you get two years.

    To extend your technical support and hardware coverage to up to two years from the original purchase date of your iPhone, get the AppleCare Protection Plan. You’ll have one number to call for world-class support, and you’ll receive comprehensive service and support for your iPhone, battery, and included accessories.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

    Dear James, you have one year limited warranty for free.
    You can also buy extra warranty, this is named AppleCare+.
    AppleCare+ will give you three years warranty, for more info visit http://store.apple.com/us/product/S4575LL/A/applecare-for-iphone.
    1. You can only purchase AppleCare+ within the first 60 days of ownership, when purchased new from an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Retailer.
    2. AppleCare Plus does not give you three years of coverage.  It extends the one year hardware coverage for one additional year (total of two years from date of purchase, not three).

  • How long do I have to wait till I can access Aperture? I have files to deliver to clients and they want them NOW!

    I went to open Aperture and got the message that "Aperture can not be opened while it is being updated"..... I have thousands of photos in there and as soon as I can get access I will be dumping Aperture and moving to Lightroom. I used Aperture for all my photography work and only rarely used Photoshop. Aperture could handle just about everything I needed and now I can’t even access my OWN FILES? Bad move Apple, it looks like the last time I’ll ever buy Apple software.
    How long do I have to wait till I can access Aperture? I have files to deliver to clients and they want them NOW!
    Aperture Version 3
    iMac (27-inch Mid 2011
    OSX version 10.9.3
    Processor 3.4 GHZ Intel Corei7
    Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

    I spent the best part of a day moving Aperture files onto a Glyph 6TB StudioRaid in the hope that I could open the files I need on my MacBook Pro. I get set up and then find that I can’t open any of the files because they are all Aperture 3.4.5 or thereabouts and the copy of Aperture that I have on the Mac book Pro is 3.2.4. It cannot open the newer version of the files. The MacBook Pro is running OSX 10.6.8 I can't upgrade Aperture on there apparently.
    I then go back to the iMac and dump the latest copy of Aperture, re-install Aperture Version 3 and it tells me " You can't use this version of the application " Aperture.app" 3.0 with this version OSX. I'm using OSX 10.9.4 on the iMac.  I have NEVER had problems with Aperture until this last incident.
    Now I am in big trouble. I'll set up an appointment at the local Apple Genius bar and see if I can talk to someone tonight.

  • We've had our MBP for a year, set up with my Apple ID. Got an iPad recently and set up with another Apple ID. Would now like to sync the two and set up iCloud/PhotoStream. How to do since have two different Apple IDs?

    We've had our MBP for a year, set up with my Apple ID. Got an iPad recently and set up with husband's Apple ID. Would now like to sync the two and set up iCloud/PhotoStream between the two. How to do since have two different Apple IDs? Thanks!

    Just out of curiosity, why did you elect to use a different id?.  That seems to always make things difficult.  If you have not had the pad for long, or have not bought a lot of stuff Nader the new id, you might want to think about erasing all content, turn off find my phone, wiping the pad and starting over.
    You can sync 2 different ids ( at least move pictures, books and music back and forth) if you are syncing through I tunes on your computer, but I don't think you can cross feed I cloud streams.
