IPad Air & Apple Care purchase ONLINE (after purchase)?

I purchased an iPad Air online intending to take it to the store to get applecare.  I had an accident & now I can't take it to the store & I don't have any other way to get it there either.  To meet the required 30 days after purchase, I need to purchase Applecare in the next couple days.  Does Apple make any exceptions to let one purchase Apple Care online, if they can't make it to the store?  My iPad Air is in perfect condition.
I tried with Apple sales & the told me to call the 800 Apple phone number.  I just want to get some advice before calling.
Thanks in advance!

Any answers that you get here would merely be anecdotal. What worked for one person, would not guarantee that it would work for you.
Way back (almost two years ago) when I bought my iPad 3 at a Best Buy store, I brought the device home, called the Apple 800 number and was able to purchase AppleCare+ sight unseen by Apple. There is no way that I think that would work today, and I believe that my experience was a fluke, but it did occur the way that I am describing it.
All that you can do is try and hope.

  • My ipad air was bought and activated AFTER September 1st and I downloaded pages, keynote and numbers. I then changed my Apple ID as the password no longer worked, these apps were also deleted I order to be updated. Now I cannot get the free version. Help?

    My ipad air was bought and activated AFTER September 1st (activated December 25th) and I downloaded pages, keynote and numbers. I then changed my Apple ID as the password no longer worked, These apps had to be deleted as I needed to update them. Now I cannot get the free version on my ipad. I have searched the internet to see if there is a solution, and I found a few but unfortunately none have worked. I desperately need these apps as my iPad is used for school. Is this an issue I should take up with the apple support centre or something? Please help! Thanks

    my Ipad Air won't turn on after updating to the new IOS 7.1.1. It ask me for my password I put it in, the apple logo appear and then it want off now it won't come back on. need help please

    Did you try this?
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • IPad Air won't turn on after opening the smart case

    iPad Air won't turn on after opening the smart case cover, it does not do it all the time but enough to concern me

    Take both the iPad and the Smart Cover back to where you bought them for an evaluation. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • How to block changes in purchase order after purchase release

    Dear all
    Can u please tell us how to block any changes in purchase order after purchase order is released...
    (We don't want any line items addition or quantity addition or any changes once purchase order is released..)We wanted this for a particular purchase order type only
    Regards
    Sudha

    Dear Sudha
    Yes it is possible to confiquire your system insuch a way where once if the PO  gets final relase then it cannot be changed.Only possiblity that will be available for the user to make chanegs in PO is possible when the final release is to be reset and then make the changes.
    Release Indicator: specicfies whether the PO documents is blocked or can be processed for the follow functions.
    You can define the release indicators you need for your release procedure:
    •The Released indicator is used to specify whether messages (PO documents in output format) may be transmitted for a purchase order with this indicator.
    •The Changeability indicator shows the effect of changes to the PO (a change to a PO may require a new release strategy to be determined, for instance).
    •By means of the Value change indicator, you can specify that the release strategy is to be re-started if a PO is changed and the value of a PO item thereby increases by a certain percentage (e.g. 10%). Set the Changeability indicator to "4 - Changeable, new release in case of new strategy or value change" or "6 - Changeable, new release in case of new strategy or value change/outputted" and enter a percentage in the Value change field.
    And after that you can specify release statuese where you can specify which release indicator/status a PO is to have after having been released via a certain release code.
    and after release simulation .
    Test for the PO change after final release System will not allow you tomake changes by giving the message that the release  indicator doesnot allow you make the changes in PO.
    Regards

  • I purchased the ipad and apple care but only the ipad arrived

    help i purchased ipad and the apple care but only the ipad arrived.
    is apple care already on the computer.

    You should have received an email from Apple with the receipts for the iPad and your AppleCare. AppleCare is not on your iPad... if you have a problem with your iPad that you cannot repair yourself, then you would contact AppleCare for help.

    You can register your iPad at that link.

  • Apple Care Protection for previously purchased iPod...

    Is it possible to buy an Apple Care plan for an iPod that has already been purchased and not purchased from an Apple Store?

    It's over the 1 year warranty by about a month and a half. Would you recommend I try and have Apple service it or take it back to Best Buy?
    (It has already been determined through a previous thread of mine that it NEEDS to be serviced or replaced so I know something must be done)
    THANKS!

  • Apple TV - Syncing Problems After purchasing TV season on ATV

    There appear to be numerous issues with ATV and syncing. However, I've yet to find anyone requesting assistance with my particular problems:
    1. I purchased a season of television episodes with my iTunes acct. on ATV. Now my MacBook fails to sync. It's stuck on the moving striped bar indicating that syncing is just initiating. A couple of times, it's stopped and an error message appears advising me that my computer is not authorized to play the television shows that are being synced back to my iTunes. This is ridiculous as I only use one iTunes account. When I "re-authorize" my computer as the message instructs, of course I am advised that my computer has already been authorized. But the episodes still fail to sync.
    2. A week before I purchased the TV episodes giving me trouble, I purchased an HD movie on ATV. That movie synced without issue back to my iTunes. But today, in the midst of attempting to deal with the sync issues on ATV, I decided to backup all of my iTunes (on my computer) on my external HD. Everything backed up with the exception of my movie. The error message I got simply said there was an error and it could not be transferred to the HD.
    I am having more and more issues with iTunes and ATV. I hope Apple gets these under control. For years, I've been a happy Apple customer, turning many other people on to Apple products. But lately I've become increasingly concerned with Apple, at least regarding their online media purchasing/rental system and its compatibility with Apple hardware.
    Thanks, in advance, for any assistance.

    Sorry Capoho for calling you the "other person" just didn't remember you screen name but am thankful for your input. I sure hope it is only an itunes problem.
    *Winston*, I tried setting up another account and brought up itunes and had to agree to terms, blah blah blah, and atv didn't come up, however, the homesharing showed up, which it doesn't on the adminstrators account (my original account) anymore, which is another issue. However, I can say this, since I have "repaired permissions" atv is acting like it did when I downloaded itunes 9.0. If I tell it to sync everthing that I wanted to it will only sync in sections. For instance, I had it sync, a couple of movies, 3 playlist and music videos, 1 tv program, and around 2000 pictures and having that download first. Yesterday, it downloaded all the pictures and then quick syncing. Last night it downloaded the tv program and the music videos and then quick syncing. It usually would download one movie and then quit syncing???? Network problem?, atv problem?, itunes Problem?
    What does that mean if in the other account atv wouldn't show up?
    Thanks

  • IPad Air 2 Doorbuster Available Online?

    I have been told that Black Friday Doorbusters will be available online,  It even states in the ad to SHOP ONLINE EARLY.  When you click on the ad it shows the iPad Air 2 SAVE $100 and right below it, 2 WAYS TO SHOP, with the first option being ALL DAY ONLINE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
    I just saw a question asked on a Best Buy forum saying that the iPad Air 2 may only be a Doorbuster available at the brick-and-mortar stores.  
    Can you clarify if the iPad Air 2 will or won't be available on Thanksgiving ONLINE with the $100 off?  If it will be available ONLINE, will it be at 12:00 EST or CST?  Everyone wants to know.  This should be an easy one to answer.
    Thanks.

    Hello mjzoller,
    As someone who makes the majority of her Black Friday purchases online for her holiday shopping list, I wholeheartedly understand wanting to know the ins and outs of a store’s online sales to make sure your getting the best deal possible.  The iPad Air 2 is quite the nice tablet, and as it was newly released, I can only imagine how popular an item like that would be.
    Having said that, we’re unable to state when our Black Friday sales go live on our website. This means that you will most likely have to continually refresh our page if you wish to order something as soon as it goes live. Additionally, please know not all sales advertised in our Black Friday ad will be offered on BestBuy.com, nor will we be commenting as to what particular sales will be available on the website. What I can say though is while there’s no guarantee of it this year; most sales offered in-store were closely matched if not identically replicated online in past years.
    Best wishes,

  • IPad and Apple Care

    This may seem like a stupid question but....my brother has an iPad he bought three months ago. If I buy his iPad from him, can I then add the Apple Care Plan or is this only available upon original purchase??

    Anybody may buy AppleCare on an Apple device, as long as that device is within the original 1 year purchase date. You don't have to be the original owner.
    It essentially adds another year to that original purchase date, so that's the only thing that counts. The terms and conditions can be found here:

  • IPad Air does not appear online when using "Find my Phone"

    Curious why my iPad Air appears "offline" in the Find my Phone app when it is in sleep mode.  All of my other devices (iPhone 5 & iPhone 4) both appear online (and on the map) even though they are sleeping. 
    All devices are running ios7 and are connected to the same wifi network.

    Hey there MntnBikeCT,
    It sounds like you have the iPad Air setup with Find my iPhone but you are not able to locate with the app on a different device, but other devices work just fine. I suggest these steps from the article named:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4006
    "No location available," "Offline," or "Location Services Off" alerts
    This can occur if:
    The date on your device is incorrect. Choose Settings > General > Date & Time to check and set the date.
    Your iOS device is currently off or not connected to a data network (Edge, 3 or 4G, or Wi-Fi). Wait a few minutes and try again.
    Your iPad (Wi-Fi only), iPod Touch, or Mac is currently off or not connected to a Wi-Fi network.
    Location Services is not enabled on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch (Settings > Privacy) or on your Mac (Date & Time) preferences. Learn more about Location Services on your Mac:
    OS X Mountain Lion or later
    OS X Lion
    You are located in a country where Apple does not offer this feature. This feature may not be available in all countries due to technical limitations or local law.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
