Ipad warranty and aftercare

Dear moderators- please note that this is a genuine question, it is not a non-constructive rant or complaint, it is not off topic.
A 15 year old member of my party purchased an ipad2 in LA last month. She was told that as she lived in the UK she would need to purchase the Applecare premium. Later I returned to the store with her to question the necessity of the extra purchase. I was told that in the event of hardware failures she would be able to return the ipad to a UK Apple store for a free repair (within the initial 12 month period). Armed with this knowledge she asked for (and received) a refund.
Given that the initial advice was incorrect, I am not 100% confident that the latter is correct. Can anyone clarify the situation?
Additionally after the 12month period does the Applecare only cover hardware failure? Surely the likelihood of hardware failures in this period is miniscule.
Thanks in advance.
BTW MODS if I have posted in the wrong place then please move rather than delete my post, tnx

sorry guys...
I guess I phrased the first part of my question badly.
She was told that she HAD to take the AppleCare if she wanted any cover outside of the USA, ie she was led to believe that 12 month warranty was limited to the USA only, and that only by buying AppleCare she would end up with cover in the UK (with the added benefit of an extra 12 months plus phone support).
Later when I pushed the salesman on the subject he then said that the standard 12 month warranty would be honoured in the UK.
I assume that statement 1 is false, what about statement 2?

No. If you bought AppleCare+ for it, accidental damage is covered.

If you buy an IPad online would it have an Apple warranty and can you get extended warranty from Apple

If you buy an iPad online would it have an Apple warranty. Can you get extended warranty?

If you buy it from the Apple Online store yes it will have full 1 year warranty, and the possibility to directly buy Apple Care +.
If you buy it from somewhere else, it may not. If the online seller is not an Apple authorized reseller then you may need to take to to an Apple Store for physical inspection before purchasing the Apple Care Plus extension.
If its not sealed and new, the warranty timer may have started to elapse, and it may not be eligible for Apple Care +.
But without knowing where you plan to buy it its hard to say for sure.

Does Apple iPad warranty cover cosmetic damages?

I have the iPad smart cover on my iPad 3 and after some time I've noticed a few scratches on the side of my iPad. Only a cosmetic thing, but wondering if apple one year warranty covers cosmetic damages. It was their faulty cover and error in creating a protective cover. So, again, will the warranty over it?

I'd take it into an Apple Store and ask, but I doubt the one-year warranty will cover minor stuff like cosmetic damages. I imagine it only covers problems like the iPad just suddenly dying on you for no reason. It might depend just how bad the damages are, too.
HOWEVER, if you really really don't like the cosmetic damages you can get AppleCare (I think it's around $99 for iPads) and they'll replace it for you rather than having to pony up $500+ for another iPad.

If not under warranty,
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

IPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal

iPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal. I have to keep joining the network or restarting devices or forgetting network and rejoining it. As a side note my 1st gen iPhone which I upgraded to iPhone 5 yesterday always stayed connected!

The steps to try would be to:
1. Restore the iPhone to Factory.
2. If that does not solve the problem replace the iPhone.
If Verizon is offering to replace the iPhone for free under warranty I would go with that option.

Hello, I have an Ipad 2 and the screen has broked. I need to know the price in US to change it.

Apple does not repair iPads, but will replace the entire iPad for a flat fee. If you have AppleCare+ on the iPad, the cost will be relatively minimal; $49 in the US. Otherwise, select the appropriate issue on this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/repair/
and look at the Out Of Warranty Cost section.
There are independent iPad repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipad repair". You can also look for parts and instructions and do the repair yourself. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPad serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform your own repair, you will get no further support from Apple.

Ipad mini and bluethoot connection with pc

I have a ipad mini Model MD531C/A on version 6.1.3. It is named Caroline.
I want to connect the ipad Caroline on the internet using bluethoot with my PC (on windows 8). My PC is named Creator.
The PC detected the ipad named Caroline. The ipad dected the PC Creator.
The PC sent a code to the ipad. I clicked yes on the PC, they were matching.
Then I asked the ipad to connect to the PC Creator and it the ipad said (I do not remember exactly, but something like...) IT CAN NOT CONECT to that device.
The PC Creator disapeared from the list of bluethoot devices detectable by the ipad.
And I do not know how to go any farther with the ipad mini to detect the PC Creator again.
And I am afraid that if I delete the ipad Caroline from the list in my PC, that it is not going to detect my ipad again since the ipad seems to have blocked or erase the PC Creator from the list of detectable bluethoot devices.
Note:
I had not itune installed on my PC. But, as I am writting this, I am installing it.

Since you have a warranty, take it back.

Why my ipad warranty doesn't match with date that i bought? I bought ipad 4 yesterday but as you guys know it was already discontinued.. Has my ipad been used?
I bought in 14 january 2014 and the expiration said it will be in 5 september 2014
Is it mean that my ipad had been activated in 5 sept las year?
But the packaging is good and it looks like very new.
Please help me....
I bought in IT plaza in kuala lumpur, malaysia..
Heeellllppp...

The merchant told me it is new. And when they opened the box and turn the ipad on, the ipad asked me to activate first.
Is the 'restore to factory setting' can make us must activate the ipad again??

Just got an iPad mini and now the screen suddenly stopped working. What to do?

Got my iPad mini as a gift last week and last night the screen suddenly stopped responding [while in use]... until now. Read and tried the troubleshooting tips here and other sources (resetting, cleaning the screen, restoring from back up, etc) but nothing seemed to work. It's currently running on iOS 6.1.3 syncs with iTunes and doesn't seem to have any problem as viewed on iTunes, wasn't dropped, abused or anything. Using warranty and having it replaced will be my last resort since I'm kinda embarrassed telling the person who gave it to me that it's broken or damaged.
Please do help. Huge thanks!

Best cover for an ipad mini and do you need a keyboard?

best cover for an ipad mini and do you need a keyboard?

If the iPad is unopened, and in the original box, then it comes with the full warranty. However, if it is used, and comes with an original box, it may or may not have the original warranty; if there's still some warranty left, the original seller should have transferred the warranty to you.

The only way you can add to your warranty is by extending an Applecare contract.

Ipad 2 and wifi issues

Hi,
I'm a newbie in this apple forum. I had Ipad 2 since spring of 2011 and it worked great until I updated to os 5.1.1. My wifi reception was horrible after the upgrade, to a point that I could not connect at all to free wifi at public areas such as libraries, starbucks, etc. I tried to hard reset, turn off blue tooth, turn off auto brightness, reset the network setting to no avail. It was not the router (FioS) since my Ipad 3 and other devices were working fine.
I finally brought it to apple store to be checked out. He did see that my wifi was poor, even inside the apple store. It went intermittenly from 2 bars to 1 bar to no connection in minutes while my Ipad 3 was steady at 3 bars for the whole time we were in the store. He thought that maybe something went wrong during the os upgrade and suggested to factory reset and reinstall the os at the store. After the reinstall nothing was changed. The wifi reception was still poor and he did not know what else to do. He was sure that it's not the software and perhaps the problem was due to hardware issue. The problem is Apple can't fix any thing hardware related after the warranty expires. I can't send it for repair and the only thing Apple can do is to take my old one, fix it, sell it as a refurb and allow me to buy a new ipad 2 for $250. Apple might call that process a value chain efficiency, but as a consumer, I call it a ripoff!!!
To top it off, I can't sync my wife's yahoo calendars and remaindes at home. So frustrating.

Look at last link.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
