HT5691 So should I wait to buy my applecare for my MacBook Pro until the one year warrantee is almost up?

Does it make a difference when you buy your applecare?

Thanks, I had forgotten that little but important detail!
I once considered Applecare for that specific reason and that is why it popped into my mind when I read the post.  I trust that my contrary answer was not meant in any way a criticism of your response.  Regarding its importance, that is to be determined by each individual.  For me it is now moot since I did not purchase Applecare.

    Would i benefit from waiting till the one year warranty  is almost up.  Because then i would maximize the time in which it is under warranty right??

    If you get AppleCare before 90 days is up you also continue free phone tech support from Apple - so by getting it as early as possible you increase the time you can get free phone support. If you go past 90 days you won't be eligible for free phone support until you get AppleCare, but still get hardware warranty for the full one year from date of purchase.

  • Im thinking about buying OWC ram for my macbook pro.

    Im thinking about buying OWC ram for my macbook pro but dont know if it will have negative affects on my computer, should i do it?

    Only if you install it wrong or use the wrong RAM.

    Use the free Crucil.com checker to doublecheck if you need too.
    You don't want Apple to do it, they quoted me $435 to upgrade $70 worth of RAM.
    Do it yourself or have a local geek friend (PC or Mac) do it, it's not hard, unles you got bad eyesight and can't see the tiny screws. Use a catch mat, follow proper anti-static and handling. (touch only plastic)
    Break something inside, your on your own though. No warranty coverqge or AppleCare for self inflicted damage.

  • Where can i buy original memory for my macbook pro 13inc mid 2012 and how much is this ?

    Where can i buy original memory for my macbook pro 13inc mid 2012 and how much is this ?

    "Memory sold by the Apple Online Store is guaranteed to be compatible with your Macintosh."
    http://store.apple.com/us/mac/mac-accessories/memory
    Other than Apple there are only two vendors with which I have personal experience and can recommend: Crucial and OWC. People have reported problems with many other brands, yet Crucial and OWC's prices are as good as any you are likely to find.
    Go to Crucial and download the little app that examines your system and recommends RAM upgrade options.
    Their prices are good but don't have to buy memory from them - determine what you need and buy it from Crucial or OWC / MacSales. You'd be paying Apple a lot more than either one of them, and you don't have to. 

  • Where can I buy a battery for a MacBook Pro 17", year 2010?

    Where can I buy a battery for a MacBook Pro 17", year 2010?
    Already saw how to replace on youtube:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42qcvlftmcM
    Now I'm looking for a seller on e-bay. Anyone has bought recently and can refer?
    All tips are welcome and thanks in advance!

    Personally, I wouldn't purchase a battery from eBay for an expensive MBP.  What you get is what you paid for (buyer beware).
    Call around to your local AS or AASP for prices.  Do a Google or Bing search.

    Purchasing a battery from a third party vendor is a high risk proposition.  Many such batteries have been found to be substandard. 
    I suggest that you try and contact Apple and see if you can have one shipped to you.

  • Want to buy more ram for my macbook pro. What to buy?

    +Model Name: MacBook Pro+
    +Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo+
    +Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz+
    +Total Number Of Cores: 2+
    +Memory: 4 GB+
    I am looking to buy more ram for my macbook, but I don't know what to look for. Do I have to buy 2x 4GB and get rid of my old ram or I can buy 2 x 2GB and use them all together?
    Also, same with HD. I need more HD as well. Can I install another harddrive as well?
    Message was edited by: Strato222

    There are only 2 slots for RAM. So, you'd need to replace one of the 2 GB sticks with a 4 GB stick for a total of 6 GB, or replace both for a total of 8 GB.
    Yes, you can replace the HDD with a larger one as well. There are instructions in the manual.

  • What should my download and upgrade speed be for my macbook pro?

    I have done alot of research on this but i can not figure out what the avery download and upgarde speed should be for my macbook pro???????????? My mac is 2 months old and has alot of memory space and is fully upragded. Please help me!

    You posted in the OS 9 forum instead of the MacBook Pro forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • I wanna buy an SSD for mid2012 macbook pro 13' i7! Help with sizes eh?

    So I really wanna get an SSD for my macbook pro 13' mid2012 (not retina), and I know where I can get help to install it, but I dont know what dimensions of  the ssd has to be. I never use my dvd drive, and I saw somewhere you can replace it with and SSD or other hard drive. Now first question: Is the SATA cable to the dvd drive only 3.0Gbit/s or is it 6.0Gbit/s so an ssd could run on full speed?
    And then dimensions, the ssd I have been looking at is the '
    'SSD 180GB Intel 520 OEM'
    (link to my local computer shop: http://www.inet.se/produkt/4304354/ssd-180gb-intel-520-oem (swedish))
    Now is it the right size or do I have to get some sort of converter or holder, or will it even fit at all?
    If you know any good SSD's that are good, not toooo expensive and fits into my macbook pro, I would love to see them

    Visit OWC for alternatives. You want one that supports 6.0 Gb/s SATA III. It should be a 2.5" notebook sized drive. At OWC look at their Mercury 6G models.

  • Do I need to buy extra cable for my macbook pro 2011 and cintiq 12WX?

    Hi every one,
    I want to buy a cintiq 12wx for my macbook pro 2011 and just wondering if i need to buy extra cable to connect them together. Thank you very much for your responses.

    For output from your MBP, you will need to tap either the DVI, mini display port or Thunderbolt port, depending on its age/model.  This will connect to the cintiq 12wx via whatever input configuration that they have.  I do not know if they supply and cables or not.  If it is a VGA input, there are a multitude of adapters available.  OWC or Newegg would be good sources to get the proper cables or adapters.
    Ciao.

  • Should I wait to install Windows 8 on my MacBook Pro?

    I heard that I should wait to instal Windows 8 on my mac and let the drivers update before I do so. If I install Windows, and then the drivers update, will I be able to update my drivers or will it be too late?
    The macbook pro is early 2011 if that makes a difference.  And I plan on running Linux in addition to Windows.

    If you want Windows 8 you should at least wait until the official release date. If you install the pre-release version now you will just need to install again when the release comes out.
    If you don't need Windows 8, install Windows 7.

  • Should I get Windows 7 or 8 for my Macbook Pro 13" early 2011

    Hey All,
    I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice what which version of Windows I should get. My plan is that I wanted to learn some beginning program stuff that might (in the future) progress into more advanced computer programming. I decided for myself that it would be best to start learning on Windows software, but I didn't feel the need to purchase an entirely brand new computer since my macbook pro is so great.
    I've been reading on bootcamp stuff, and it seems as though bootcamp does not yet support windows 8.1 (which would have been my first choice). Since I cannot currently use 8.1, what might be the next best solution? Should I just go with the supported windows 8 and just wait to update to 8.1 when bootcamp finally supports it? Or should I perhaps go the safer route and go with the 64 bit version of Windows 7 (which I heard was still good as far as windows goes).
    I'm hesitant on the Windows 8 option becasue I had heard a lot of complaints about it, and I don't know how long it would be until Apple updates Bootcamp to support it. My only fear with the Windows 7 option is that it will become outdated much faster than previous versions of windows (just because it seems like there was a big jump from windows 7 to windows 8).
    Any thoughts would be helpful. Any specific insight as to which version might be better for me to learn computer programming on is a definite plus. The specs for my mac should be listed below, but I'm also planning on upgrading to a Seagate 1TB solid state hybrid drive SATA 6Gbps 64MB Cache 2.5-inch ST000LM014. Also, I have an Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB.
    Thanks!!!

    Would these be the correct discs to use?: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004Q0PT3I
    Seems like a reasonable price....besides "pirate free" of course.

  • How can i buy new battery for my macBook pro in France

    Hello,
    Please, someone can tell me how to find and buy new battery for my 2008 macBook pro in France ?
    This one is very old, i already changed this battery one time, i think Apple store of town won't be ok to make the work cause i have made it myself one time before (it has fallen several times, almost broken, means impossible to shut the battery place but still working on). So i bought a battery to a third provider, wich doesn't work of course, try to ask to online assistance but i have to pay 30 € just to ask my question and i doesn't want...
    SO WHAT IS THE SOLUTION TO CHANGE MY BATTERY ??? HELP !!!
    I bought it in 2008. I don't know exactly the serie. Just know it's a 2,4 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo.
    The reference of battery is A1281 10,8V 50 Wh. Can't find it on the store. The only one i found was on a website who didn't tell it's was a fake... 
    Lost 85 €

  • Can i buy more storage for my MacBook Pro separately from apple?

    I have a 350 GB hard drive, and i was looking to buying a 750 GB and having apple install it manually at one of their retail stores. Am i able to buy a hard drive separately from apple?

    You can purchase any standard 2.5" notebook hard drive or SSD (although, you should check the forums for compatibility comments if you're looking for an SSD).  You can very easily install the drive yourself following the instructions in your user manual.  However, Apple will only install their own supplied drives.  They will not install a drive that you bring to them.  You can, however, go to an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) and have them install your drive for you:
