If you buy a refurbished ipad 2 from gamestop, can you get applecare?

I noticed GameStop is selling apple products now, and since they were refurbished, I was wondering if I could still get applecare if I bought an ipad 2 from them. Can anyone help me?

It's highly doubtful. To the best of my knowledge, Apple does not sell factory-refurbished products through any dealer, so such "refurbishment" would have been carried out by some third-party shop. If they made any sort of modifications to the hardware and did not just reinstall the OS and clean up the case, then any warranty would almost certainly be void, not only making it impossible to get AppleCare but to get any service from Apple at all.
Check with GameStop and find out exactly what this "refurbishment" consists of. Or, as the others have advised, accept a slightly higher price and get an officially refurbished iPad directly from Apple; it's likely to be much less of a risk.
Regards.

    when you chane your country of orgin. why cant you buy in-apps purchases from apps which you bought in the previous country?

    Bob,
    Apple did approve our in-app purchase without publishing the folio ahead of time.
    I have a new question: Can I change the "Cleared for sale" attribute in the iTunes Connect interface from no to yes before a folio's scheduled publication date? Or should I wait until after the folio has been published?
    I would think you could set the "Cleared for sale" attribute to yes before the publication date and it would not cause any problems since the folio is not available to purchase until it's published.

  • Would you buy a refurbished MBP from Apple?

    I'm like 2 seconds away from buying a new MBP. But then I noticed the Apple Refurbs. They come with all the same software and specs, and the 1-year warranty. Is there any reason not to save a few hundred bucks on get one of these?

    Hello,
    Just wanted to follow up on my experience on buying a refurb. I posted a few weeks ago under the alias of action74 (above), that I was considering a refurb. I bought a 15" MBP 2.2 standard configuation refurb model from the online store. It would have been a great deal saving me about $250.
    When I received the computer, there were some imediate things that I noticed were wrong. Leopard wasnt preinstalled like I was led to believe, so I had to install it myself which not only took about 2 hours of my time, but also another 5 gigs of my already small harddrive. I also noticed that the keyboard "squeeked"... it was very annoying, and the keys were abnormally stiff. But most concerning was that I couldnt even run a repair permissions from disk utility without the whole computer freezing. I had to manually turn off the computer and restart from the power button. There were a few other minor things as well, but I wont go into detail here. Suffice it to say that I wasnt happy after paying over $1700 for a semi working computer. I sent it back and bought a new one... and upgraded to the 2.4 model.
    The one bright spot here was the Customer Service. Both of the folks I talked to during this 1 week ordeal were very curtious and expedited the new model to my overnight at no charge as well as providing free return shipping and no restock fee. I would hope that anyone business would do that for their customers, but these days..... who knows. I was happy and satisfied with the way they handled it.
    My new MBP has been working great.
    Thanks

  • If you buy the apple tv in australia can you use the NHL to watch live NHL games???

    ??

    I would suppose so. I live in Portugal and I have access to all the games, including the playoffs that have just started.
    You might have to change you Apple Store to USA or Canada to be able to access the NHL Gamecenter app, and you also need to pay the NHL subscription to access the games live. Otherwise I believe you will only be able to see the highlights afterwards.

  • Can you buy extended warranty  when you purchase a refurbished Ipad  2

    Can ypu buy extened warranty for your ipad2 from Apple even if you bought it from a store that sold it as refurbished?. It came with a 90 day warranty.

    Apple sells the warranty for machines it has refurbished.  You will have to deal with the store where you bought the refurbished iPad, or talk to an Apple store genius bar tech and see what they may offer.

  • If you buy a film from itunes, can you watch it on multiple iPads at the same time?

    if you buy a film from itunes, can you watch it on multiple iPads at the same time?

    SerZak is correct. There is a ten device limit. Yoy would still have to be signed into the correct ID in order to sync the Movie, even if you do not use Automatic Downloads, so the 10 device limit would still apply.
    Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also beauthorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated, remove unused devices or computers, and see how long before they can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer:

  • If I was going to buy a Refurbished iPad mini 2 Wi-Fi   Cellular for AT

    if I was going to buy a Refurbished iPad mini 2 Wi-Fi + Cellular for AT&T 32GB from Apple store can I get a Apple SIM to change it to Verizon.

    Go buy yourself a iPhone 5. Sync your iPhone 3GS to iTunes on you computer so you have a back up ready to put on the iPhone 5. If you want you can update your iPhone 3GS with iTunes on your computer, but this is not necessary.

  • If I buy a refurbished iPad (or iPod touch), will I get the iWork apps free?

    Will I get the iWork and iLife apps for free if I buy a refurbished iPad (or iPod touch)?

    As above, you will get the apps for free.
    I strongly suggest that you buy your refurb ipad directly from the Apple online refurb store. We bought two last Summer - 2012. They have been great.
    We haven't bought itouches refurbed, so not on top of their deals.
    All refurbed ipads come with a brand new front and back cover, a brand new battery and a full one year warranty, including the 90 days of phone support. They come in a box and include the charger, just like a brand new ipad. It just says refurbished near the bottom of he box. If you buy from other retailers, even authorized resellers, their own rules apply and they will not have been refurbished by Apple. Also, in most cases, you only get the remainder of the warranty that the original owner did not use.
    The great thing is you might consider increasing your gb space for still less than the cost of a new one. They are a bargain right now.
    If you decide on what you want, check the certified refurb store and order it fast. Because they are on the site when available, they can come and go. Some are back the same day and some can take weeks. Shipping is fast and free in the USA. 
    After the intro of the ipad Air, the ipad 4 refurbed price came down another $30.00. I don't expect that to change anytime soon.
    Whatever you decide to buy, enjoy.
    Hope this helps.

  • Would you buy a 64gb iPad 3rd Gen or an iPad Mini 16 gb if you could purchase either for $320?  Thank you

    Would you buy a 64gb iPad 3rd Gen or an iPad Mini 16 gb if you could purchase either for $320?  Thank you

    I know your question has been answered by Demo and agree. And I agree that I would stay away from the ipad 3 that was discontinued after only months on the market.
    That said, I'm not sure where you were getting an ipad 3 for that cost - a friend, a store, an official reseller? I would be very careful of that.
    If you decide to buy a used ipad or even a new 16 gb mini, I strongly suggest you only buy it through Apple's online only certified refurbished store. They come and go as they are refurbished by Apple, so if you see what you want, buy it. An ipad mini 32 gb is now $339 in the refurb store. That's only $20.00 more than you're willing to pay.
    Personally, I'd go for the regular sized ipad with more space, but I would pay more if necessary and only buy it at the Apple online refurb store. If you buy an outside ipad, you usually only get the rest of the warranty if any time is still on it. Some resellers do not give any warranty. You might not know if it's been dropped and is working now but might quit soon, etc. You could end up with a demo version from a store, the battery could be on its way out, etc. There have been such stories on here.
    Each refurbished ipad and mini comes with a brand new front and back cover, a brand new battery, and a full one year warranty , including 90 days of phone support. It will come in the white box with the charger just as a new one does, with free and fast shipping.
    We have had two 64 gb refurbed ipad 2's from the Apple store for almost a year and a half. They have been great! 
    (As others have and almost always suggest, get as much space as you can because you cannot increase that. Many end up wanting to do more than they planned as they learn about new apps and all they can do with their ipad. Also, updating apps also will take up more space.)
    And you don't get 16gb or 32 gb, etc. Some space is used to run the ios and apps that come with the ipad that are not removable.
    Oh. I needed to add that through the refurb store, you'll get it with ios 6 still installed.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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)
