I don't have a receipt for my Macbook Pro - will Apple Care cover me?

I bought my Macbook Pro from someone who no longer had the receipt. It is the Dec 2011 model. I registered it and called Apple yesterday for help because the unit wouldn't charge. The guy told me about the Apple Care protection plan. I explained I didn't have a receipt and he said it was fine... when he had entered the serial number he could see the unit was registered to me. So I purchased the warranty.
This morning I received an email with confirmation of the purchase and letting me know that I would need my original receipt for the Macbook Pro if I needed it serviced. Anyone know which one it is?

I had my old macbook serviced a while back and I didn't have the receipt with me.
But because it was registered to me and my info on my Apple ID matches my stuff, they took it in for service without my receipt.
I guess it's up to whoever you deal with at the Apple Store when you need servicing.  It is however, best to have your receipt.  If all you have is the Apple Care receipt, use  that one, since they sold it to you and it corresponds to you MBP's serial number.

    The file format used by the iOS versions of the iWork apps can only be read by the new iWork apps on your Mac - i.e. Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Those versions for the Mac require Mavericks, OS X 10.9. The "too old" error on a Mac comes if you are trying to open an iWork '08 or earlier file in the newest apps. If you do have the newest apps you can open the files from your iPad.
    If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Mavericks & the newest iWork apps your best option would be to export/share the files from the iPad to a type an older version of iWork can read such as Word, text, Excel, etc.
    Or contact AppleCare. They made this mess, let them fix it.

    What do you want to do specifically.  They are two different document formats - one is PDF, the other DOC or DOCX.  In what way do you wish to "add" ad PDF to a word document. You can embed a mini version within a document (copy it and paste it from within the x.doc) but that's a pretty hokey looking solution.
    Oh, its mostly irrelevant if its office 2004,8 or 11 - they all do this more or less the same way.

  • My receipt for my macbook pro shows a $99 one to one membership fee...what is this?

    I just got a look at the receipt that was emailed to me from today's purchase. It probably wasn't a good idea to have it emailed instead of getting a chance to look at it in the store! I was charged $379 ( I think for the 3 year Apple Care) and $99 for a one to one membership. I have no idea what this membership is. Does anyone have any clue?

    I'm sure that they get a commission, of some sort, for selling One-on-One. The service should have been explained to you before they tacked it on your bill. I would take the receipt back to the store manager and explain that you don't need the service and didn't ask for it. It's a rip-off as far as I'm concerned (unlike AppleCare, which I always buy for notebooks).
    Good luck,

  • I've noticed my mac book air charger has turned yellow and the rubber keeping the wires hidden is ripping, will apple care cover for a new one?

    i don't ever move my charger from behind my desk and i have no clue what to do, i don't know what is causing the yellowing. i went to the mac store in my town and they said they couldn't replace it because of he discoloration but the apple store might because the are more lenient but i don't want to be charged when it wasn't my fault at all. I’ve barely had it for a year i really can't afford to buy a new charger so i don't want to be charged if apple doesn't accept it.

    azuniga127:
    Wires and their cover discoloring/fraying in one year?  Sounds like a dangerous product problem to me.
    If it were mine I would be calling here:  https://www.apple.com/contact/
    In there you will find phone numbers:
    U.S. iPod, Mac and iPad technical support:
    (800) APL-CARE (800-275-2273)
    Tell them your problem with your computer as well as with the Apple service centers.....and  if they put you off ask to speak to supervisors.
    I have had laptops for years, since they came out, and I have never had to replacea  a power plug except once when the plug-in bent out.  No way I could prove or show that was normal wear.  But I tried.
    Be nice but firm with whomever you talk with.  I think you have good reason to expect a no cost replacement under Applecare.

  • Will Apple Care covers if I have Ghost Armor on my iPad screen?

    I just got the new iPad and then the next day have those guys in the mall from Ghort Armor to fully have screen protector for my iPad. Will apple care/warranty mind if I have it on, in case my ipad needs repair/replacement? Thanks

    You'd need to remove the screen protector before you send/take the iPad to Apple, but as long as the cover doesn't make any permanent modifications to the iPad, it won't have any negative warranty impact.
    Regards.

  • In need of new charger for 2009 Macbook Pro

    I got my Macbook Pro in the summer of '09, along with a charger cable. Now my charger has finally decided that it no longer wants to work properly, forcing me to maneuver it in all kinds of positions to make the connection happen (I think it got crimped somewhere along the way, and now it takes playing around to find the connection again).
    I want to get a new charger, but I don't know which kind to get. The one I currently have has a T-shaped connector; does this mean I need to get one with the same shape, or could I get an L-shaped head? I know that the ones for Macbook air don't fit (my sister has one, and it's wider and narrower than mine), and I have no idea what version of MagSafe I have (writing on the bottom is kind of rubbed off). Any ideas?

    You should replace it with the same model - 85 watt with T connector. However, it's likley the L shaped one will work as well. This is for a MacBook Pro.
    Apple 85W MagSafe Power Adaptor (for 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pro).
    Apple no longer sells the T-shaped adaptors. However, you can find refurbished replacements elsewhere by searching with Google.

  • HT201209 Was given an App Store gift card (I don't have any devices for apps, just an iTunes/music gal) what to do?

    I was given an App Store gift card (I don't have any devices for apps; I'm just an iTunes/music gal) what to do?
    No gift receipt given with card; don’t feel right telling the person “thanks but this is wrong.” Especially since the nature of the thank you gift is from an emotional event for the gift giver.
    My assumption is that if I attempt to redeem the App Store gift card that iTunes will apply it to a separate "ledger" for apps only and I will NOT be able to purchase music with the gift money.
    I did not do what I did for this person with the thought of "oooh what I can I get in return?" I did it because I felt like it.

    Yep, exactly. When you go to buy any of the iTunes Store cards in the Apple Store, they say "All cards work on the iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store. ". So it's just labeling, something which confuses a lot of people.
    Regards.

  • I currently smashed my screen on my iphone 5 and I have repair warranty but I don't have the receipt, will apple replace the phone on the spot?

    I currently smashed my screen on my iphone 5 and I have repair warranty but I don't have the receipt, will apple replace the phone on the spot? or do they send it away and repair it?
    I bought the phone on ebay and it has no insurance or anything. but it has repair warranty until august.
    Im located in Melbourne - Victoria - Australia if that helps.

    Hi CleanAus.
    My tip is to go to the nearest Apple Store and make a appointment with one Genius Bar agent.
    Of course, they will not replace the phone for you but they will repair it if you pay for it.
    The warranty does not apply on cracked screens, caused by the user.
    Locate your nearest Apple Store here: http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/
