I took out my superdrive from my MBP and sold it online. Should I still buy apple care?

When I took out my superdrive and replace it with a hard drive, I sold my superdrive and use the money to buy an harddrive. Now, since I did it already and forgot the future possibility of breaking my MBP, is it necessary to buy apple care since I heard that my warranty is voided anyways? So far, my MBP works fantastically and have no problems at all.

Buying AppleCare, at this point, would be a waste of money. You voided your warranty when you replaced your optical drive with a hard drive. Only RAM and hard drive bay customer alterations will not affect your warrany.
You could have, I suppose, kept the optical drive and if your computer ever needed Apple repair, have replaced the hard drive for the optical again before taking it in for service. A little bit underhanded, but some people have done it.
You're pretty much just out of luck now...
Sorry,

    Please google search for "Mountain Lion disk crash" before upgrading you mac pro. You might need to replace you Mac hard drive after the upgrade.So many people had the same problems including me.
    Be aware of the Mountain Lion upgrade problem.

  • I want to cut out a head from a photo and insert it into another photo again. In the head hair flying in the wind and the blue sky can be seen between the hairs. This blue sky I want to remove, so I can only use the head with hair flying in another photo.

This blue sky I want to remove, so I can only use the head with hair flying in another photo. Is it possible to simply delete this blue color of the sky?

    Make your selection and then use Refine Edge.

    You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions, you do not need them to run Java applets.

    Out-of-Warranty Service
    If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
    iPhone model
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
    iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
    $199
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if you arrange service online or by calling Apple Technical Support. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax. When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorisation for the maximum service fee listed above.  This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare Protection Plan for iPhone coverage, whichever is longer. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details."

  • If i buy an iPad from Amazon can I still purchase apple care?

    If i buy an iPad from Amazon can I still purchase apple care?

    How to get AppleCare+
    Purchase AppleCare+ together with your new iPad, and you'll be automatically registered in the plan. Add it to your shopping cart during the checkout process when you purchase your new iPad.
    Or buy it within 30 days of your iPad purchase:
    At an Apple Retail Store (if AppleCare+ is purchased separately from iPad, inspection of iPad and proof of purchase are required.)
    Or call (800) 275-2273 (requires you to run a remote diagnostic and provide proof of purchase)

  • If i buy iPhone from verizon can i still purchase apple care

    If I buy my phone from verizon can I still purchase apple care plan from apple?

    You sound really certain about this -- but Apple's current info page for AppleCare+ says "AppleCare+ must be purchased together with new covered equipment." (bottom of this page: http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html )
    And AppleCare isn't one of the "accessories" Verizon seems to let you order with the phone. So wouldn't this mean it's impossible to order it from Verizon and get AppleCare?

  • I want to buy apple care protection plan..let me know the costs and from where i can buy it

    i want to buy apple care protection plan..let me know the costs and from where i can buy it?

    It seems that Apple are very efficient at collecting the £300 price, but it's very difficult to get support when needed. I have to wait four days to get a simple answer after struggling to communicate in the first place. Not a lot of 'peace of mind' in that.

  • How can I text someone from my iPhone and iPad if there phone is not an apple product?

    How can I
    someone from my iPhone and iPad if there phone is not an apple product?

    The iMessage app on an iPhone can send SMS messages when an iMessage path is not available; on an iPad it cannot, because SMS is an adjunct to the voice telephone system, which the iPad does not use.

  • Can i buy apple care from the state or the UK if i buy a macbook pro from a recommended apple retailer in nigeria?

    Hi adeyy,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    The AppleCare FAQs has some information that you might find helpful:
    http://www.apple.com/support/products/faqs.html
    Where can I purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan?
    Depending on the Apple product, the AppleCare Protection Plan is available at the Apple Online Store, Apple Retail Stores, and many Apple Authorized Resellers including many wireless service providers. Apple recommends that you purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan in your country of residence, because each AppleCare Protection Plan has terms and conditions specific to consumers in the country or region in which the plan is offered. Please see the AppleCare Protection Plan Terms and Conditions for complete details.

  • Take out multiple values from a db and handle them in an applet.

    I have a db with tables. I want to take out several values from them and make them visible in a JFrame (or applet).
    I dont know how to do. I have an app that connects to the db and selects the values and puts the Strings in a Vector. But now then?
    I have looked at examples that retrieve Strings but not vectors, isn't that possible?

    Hi,
    On initialization of your frame you can loop over your vector and display them.
    Now the problem is in what type of component do you want to put your data.
    I can give you an example.
    What you can do is create a String which will contain all the data from
    your vector and set that string to the component.
    Example:
    Vector data;
    String result;
    for(int i=0; i < data.size(); i++) {
    result += (String)data.elementAt(i) + "\n";
    Now you need to put the string into a component which is easy done.
    Let take a textarea component.
    JTextArea txaTest = new JTextArea();
    txtTest.setText(result);
    Now all the data will be shown in the textarea component on your frame.
