ISight warranted by Applecare?

if i purchase iSight with mac mini or apple display and also i have applecare on mac mini or display, is my iSight under the protection of the warranty as well?

Mini mac + Mini Mac Applecare
iSight + iSight Applecare.
This would be 4 purchases. Items and Applecare for each.
The camera as a separate item would not be covered under the computer's Applecare.

  • Is applecare international warranty?

    Hi can someone tell me if applecare offers international warranty?

    No. All iphone warranties, including AppleCare, are country specific, i.e-valid only in the country the iphone was purchased in for all warranty & service work.

  • DO I HAVE A VIRUS?

    I have recently being experiencing some problems with my ibook. It has started to go really slowly, especially when logging onto the net. also it struggles to start up in reasonable time. And just to top it all off, i am getting a black strip across my screen with coloured bits in it. i have tried the first aid in disc utility but it hasn't done anything. can anyone help me?

    Thank you,
    I cannot stress enough that Macs can be vulnerable to viruses. The more people buy Macs the more the cold hearted couch potatoes want to make viruses for them. The thing to do is to protect yourself by setting up the firewall, knowing what your downloading, and scanning for strange emails. There are some programs out there already for Mac that can help incase of a "breakout". (Don't use anything by Norton on a Mac, lately I have never heard any satisfied customers)
    Lisa is right, it sounds like to me that it is the video card. There's actually a couple of things it could be, but its hard to say without looking at it. None of them could really be fixed without voiding a warranty and increasing the risk of more problems. Bring it to your local Apple Store and they can give you some options. Do you still have any warranties? AppleCare?
    I hope that helps,
    Jon
    PS If one would like to get a better understanding of Mac viruses, I suggest starting a new thread (thread-jacking). You also might want to research past threads, many will enlighten you.

  • What if the new mbp looks exactly the same as the late 2011 ones,

         Can I find a way to take the motherboard off mine, and put the motherboard from the new one in there, what other internals would I need to put in the newer motherboard? i dont know very much about  the internals of mac laptops so go easy. I think i mean the motherboard from what I've read, im basically asking if i can put the whole internals of a 2012 with the ivy-bridges (if thats whats there) into my current model mbp?

    Nope, no can do.
    Apple doesn't make things interchangable in that regard.
    If you want to hardware hack, then it's your business, but good luck you likely will need a larger case.
    Warrantly and AppleCare voided of course.

  • Will apple, fix my iPod not charging for free?

    It will not charge at all. It has no cracks or water dangme

    It depends on when you purchased it.
    If you got it under a year ago, it's covered.
    If you bought AppleCare and got the iPod less than two years ago, it's covered.
    Warranties and AppleCare

  • Mother of broken, no shattered screen.

    Well I guess there is more than just my daughter in the world that has one of these ipod's with shattered screen and still using it. Apple will not cover accident's (which when it comes to these ipods you are bound to crack, chip, shatter, etc..) cause they would probably go out of business. The fact that I bought extended warranty at store I got ipod from just for "accidents" and they tell me that warranty doesn't cover it, I would have to call apple. Who in return informed me that thier one year warranty doesn't cover damage to the screen either.... I will not buy another one, cause after everything is said and done, it's going to be a $500 ipod that originally was $200 and something!!!!!

    Just for future reference, most warranties, even most extended warranties, do NOT cover accidental damage.  They cover manufacuters defects and faulty material only.
    What you wanted was a protection plan or product insurance program - completely different thing from a warranty.
    It can get confusing, because some places do "bundle" a protection plan into their extended warranty, but you want to see, in writing, that the plan does specifically include accidental damage coverage.  If it does not explicitly say so, it will not coverage such damage.
    Apple's extended warrantly plan, AppleCare, is simply an extension of your basic warranty and is not a protection plan.  Neither the Apple warranty, nor AppleCare covers damage caused by accident, abuse, mis-use and so on.

  • Logicboard replacement came with new serial that stops me from connecting w iMessage and FaceTime. Applecare ran out and now I am sure it is this issue... How can I get apple to honor the serial mess up?

    The story is that I have an imac i7 that was still under Applecare when the logicboard coraked.
    I brought it in for repair and got it back. Somehow imessage and facetime would never connect anymore and come up with connection errors yet everything else worked. I tried all tens or hundreds of suggestions over hte last few months and nothing worked.
    So I resorted to a clean hard drive repartitioning and install of Mountain Lion.
    To my surprise: it sill did not work.
    That;s when I found an obscure post that I am quite certain is the problem: the poster had the exact some symptoms I had and NOTHING worked. Hrs of phone support etc. Until it dawned on him that he had a logic board replacement after which the issue occurred. He found that his serial was no longer the same as the original item and came up as invalid on the apple website and was not listed in the "About" of his iMac.
    I immediately recognized the recent support symptom and motherboard replacement and checked the rest. And behold it is all exactly as he said. He had to bring it back to the service center and they put the original serial back in and everything worked again.
    Here is my problem: months of troubleshooting have passed and my iMac went out of Applecare warranty. Support does not warrant an exception for the serial online and the service center wants to get paid    I am not wealthy. This computer is my life and I need them to change the serial back to what it was when I purchased the machine. Can someone suggest how I get help. Apple is acting like M-soft in this respect.

    The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
    You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

  • Built-in iSight camera doesn't work all the time...?

    This started on iChat... When starting a video conference I see a black picture, the green light turns on but my buddy only see's a video of herself and is still able to hear me. I tried opening the audio/video preferences and the preview is still black. I also tried opening photobooth and it shows a black picture as well. This only happens on occassions, it works most of the time but this problem seems to be occurring more often. I've tried all the troubleshooting listed but nothing seems to work..?

    "I've tried all the troubleshooting listed but nothing seems to work..? "
    Please list them. This will avoid the +"been there, done that"+ scenarios when users try to provide you with troubleshooting solutions.
    Otherwise, +"since you've tried all the troubleshooting listed"+ then send your computer to your local AASP or contact AppleCare if you are still under warranty.
    Tried everything in Article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 How to Troubleshoot iSight and this thread my isight camera is not working-not recognised with photo booth or ichat?

  • Recurring iMac G5 Hard Disk problem and worthless AppleCare

    Hello all! I have a recurring iMac G5 2Ghz (20-inch) Hard Disk problem.
    I bought my parents, aged 52 and 55, an iMac last summer. Hoping this would be their solution to a hassle free and easy computer environment, since I would leave for China for about 1 year. But last month the hard drisk crashed and could not be fixed.
    At first the start up speed slowed down, then the start up process would continue infinitely, then the computer just booted into a screen with a question mark.
    I have a AppleCare Protection Plan (APP) and so I called the Help Desk and they put me in touch with a Service Center (Sittard, the Netherlands). Now I thought, since I live within the proper range of at least 3 service centers (Heerlen, the Netherlands), I could get on-site support (as stated in APP), unfortunately for unknown reasons, my parents had to drag the 20 inch monster to the service center.
    Normally the repair should take 2 days, but instead it took 10 working days. My dad naturally asked, if they could restore the data on the disk. This was only possible if we paid about 2000 euro. So, no deal!
    After picking the iMac up again, the computer booted into the Mac OS installation. This again surprised me, since according to the APP they should at least put some effort into restoring the applications. Not even iLife was pre-installed, which was of course on the computer when we bought it. Next to that the Service Center's Mac OS installation disc was still in the drive; how careless!
    They were quite sad about the lost data, but accepted it, as we all know that these things can happen to electronics. BUT today, the same problem recurred! First the start up process slowed down and now (again) it tries to start up infinitely.
    The hard disk is brand new (1 month), no strange programs and no abnormal use. According to the diagnostic tools the file structure is damaged, but it seems to keep getting worse. The Apple Help Desk guy was even surprised this happened to a brand new disk and installation. He recommended reinstalling the system.
    But, I'm not happy with this solution! A hard disk breaking down, is one thing. But the same problem recurring 1 month later made a couple of alarm bells go off. I'm hoping Apple will consider replacing this machine from **** with a brand new iMac. Since my parents are scared ********, that whatever document they type today might disappear again tomorrow. This is not a comfortable computing experience.
    By the way: the computer has only basic software: Microsoft Office, Skype and iLife and my parents only use those programs, surf the net and send email.
    Any of you had a similar bad experience with the iMac's hard disk, AppleCare or any of Apple's Service Centers? Or does anyone know how to reach Apple by email?
    iMac 20 G5 2Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I had a similar problem with my 20" 2Ghz iMac.
    After replacing the HD and the next 'going bad' the tech realized there was a different problem.
    After discussing it, and the distance to an authorized repairer he offered on-site repair.
    After a lengthy parts delay I was offered an upgrade to a iSight iMac.
    The tech narrowed my problem down to a faulty logic board before offering a replacement. He could have been wrong but it seemed logical with all of the same symptoms.
    Press your AppleCare to replace this computer. They are going to try and repair but insist if this fix doesn't work you want a new iMac.
    I hope everything works out for you.
    Edit: There is a great program that Apple techs recommend called DiskWarrior. It did not fix my problem but it allowed me to get my most important info off of the computer before it went to computer heaven. Might not work for all but it works well for me as I still use it today.

  • Is it true that it will take an Apple Authorized reseller 7-10 days to replace my Magsafe recharger covered by applecare  and cannot give me ones available in their shop because they have to send the order to Singapore? Is that not really poor service?

    HI, I have a question. I bought my macbook pro along with applecare + which expires in 2013. I bought it in Melboune Australia, however I am currently on a business trip in Pakistan. My Magsafe recharger went bust (not charging at all and leaking oil). Called Apple Australia and spoke to a very helpful service rep. After verification, he told me to take the magsafe to the Apple Authorized reseller in Lahore (Raffles - gave the sellers address and numbers) and they will replace it with a new one immediatley. He also gave me a case number.
    Went to the Authorized reseller with macbook and magsafe and gave them the case number along with details about the problem. He told me after an hour of "researching and asking questions" that he will have to send the replacement request to Singapore and it will take atleast 7-10 business days for me to get back a new charger. I asked him why he could not give me the charger which he had on display and in stock at the shop. He said that mine will only be sent by Singapore and it will take that long (was quite rude and uncoperativel!!!!). Are'nt apple authorized resellers here in Lahore Pakistan bound by the same service standards as those in Australia. Maybe apple should really look into who they select as their authorized resellers and the kind of service they are providing to customers! Very Very Dissapointed with the service. 
    Now I have a major work presentation, and I wanted to find out if this 7-10 business days timeframe is correct as apple servic rep told me it would happen straight away as he had already lodged a case whereas this Apple Authorized reseller is saying 7-10 working days, even when he has the product in stock at the shop!???
    Any help/knowledge about someone else who has faced this issue would be appreciated.

    AAR's are independent distributors, very rarely have a inventory and have to order everything from Apple on a per need basis.
    You would likely get faster response waiting on hold with Apple for three hours and having the new magsafe overnight shipped, or going to a Apple Store and exchanging the Magsafe/buy a new one while waiting for the old one to be replaced.
    It's the sad fate of things unfortunately, but likely this has to do with AAR's only making a tiny profit on new hardware sales, them giving you a new Magsafe doesn't make any profit for them, likely Apple doesn't have a reinbursment or takes forever to determine your Magsafe is defective and authorize a replacement cost reinbursement to the AAR.
    Think about it, if you were a AAR would you exchange a Magsafe knowing Apple could later determine  the defective Magsafe was caused by customer misuse (thus voiding the warrantly/AppleCare) not send you a dime?

  • IMac G5 (iSight) DVD drive a DIY part?!?!

    Hi, I'm horribly confused. Is my DVD drive a user-serviceable part or not?
    Apple's documents only talk about "iMac G5 (Ambient Light Sensor)," but don't say anything about the optical drive in "iMac G5 (iSight)."
    I believe that the iSight model has undergone a radical internal re-engineering, so what applies to earlier models may not apply to it. And after a certain point in surfing the support pages, they simply stop referring to the iSight model and quietly redirect to the older models.
    I was going to open the Mac to access the disk that's stuck in it (it's a rental DVD, to make things even worse). But someone warned me on another forum that it would void my warranty in the case of this model.
    I have this disk stuck in my drive, and it won't eject. It's a hardware problem. The drive tries to eject the disk (making noises), then gives up (believing that it was successful), and the disk mounts again. I've tried every software method (including Open Firmware), to no avail. I tried laying the iMac on its screen, turning it off to let it cool off, etc. Nothing helps.
    Apple's online Troubleshooting Assistant has recommended that I replace the part. It has, again, offered a DIY replacement. But at a certain level into the online order form, it refused to list the optical drive as a replacement part.
    Obviously, Apple needs to update some of its support pages. But the question remains: How can I remove the disk from the drive, and as the drive is probably faulty (if this could happen to it), how do I get it replaced?
    I'm in Luxembourg, and haven't managed to find ANY information on whom to contact here.

    You are correct about the iSight model being different from the earlier two G5 models. The back does not come off the iSight one; instead, the front bezel & LCD screen must be removed to access the interior. This is not designed to be done by users, requires handling some delicate parts, & will almost certainly void your warranty if you do it yourself.
    To find contact information, check the paper documentation that came with your iMac for a document about AppleCare service & support. Mine is the 2005 edition, in English, but lists the following for Luxembourg:
    (352) 800 24550 or www.apple.com/befr/support

  • IMac G5 (iSight) 20" fails to start.

    My wife's now out of warranty iMac G5 (3rd generation with built in iSight) is in trouble. I'm unsure what went wrong, but it won't stay powered on for longer than a minute or two. The OS doesn't even have time to boot up before power is cut off. It hangs at the gray screen and then powers down.
    I've removed all peripherals and only have the USB keyboard and mouse plugged in. Zapping the PRAM and reseting NVRAM were not successful in solving the problem either.
    I tried starting in single-user mode, but I wasn't able to get any farther, although I did get some info (see below). The last message it displays (repeatedly) is "USBF: 55.798 OHCI driver: OHCIRootHubPortPower bit not sticking (0) Retrying."
    From some web research, it seems that there may be pre-existing issues with the power supply, but that may apply more to the 1st and 2nd generation models. The iMac G5 Repair Extension Program did not apply to my model/serial number. I am, however, just 3 months out of AppleCare.
    Here's the remainder of the information I was able to get by photographing the screen before power cut out:

    Any thoughts on what this could be? Based on the info above, it seems like there's a power issue...

    Don't mess with the iSight, it's particularly difficult to open, although it can be done, but only if you are very sure of your skills. If you are confident, however, go for it!
    You can buy a replacement at [welovemacs.com] and here are some ideas on how to do it:

  • MacBook built-in iSight camera not working

    My camera seems to have died... After reading other posts and the apple doc here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93240 I've tried pretty much everything. There are no lights on, applications don't see it, doesn't work with a different user, system profiler doesn't see it. The first time I zapped the PMU it came back and worked briefly, but hasn't worked since, and subsequent PMU resets have not done anything.
    Of course, this started about a week or two after the 1 year warranty ran out, and I had forgotten to get applecare extended. Oops.
    My question is this: is there anything I can do short of taking it to Apple service? Is there any likelihood that it could just be a loose cable and if so how hard is it to take apart the MacBook (I am technically inclined). Or is it most likely going to require a logic board replacement... hundreds of $$ I'm guessing.

    Hello Smersh
    If the suggestions offered here do not get you a fix, and if you have tried all the other applicable suggestions in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93240 without success, it sounds to me like you need to try the last one, too, (contact Apple or your Apple Authorized Service Provider.)
    You may be right that the fix will be minor and may not take long, but there are no user serviceable parts of iSight. Have it fixed by an AASP. As part of his diagnostic review, the AASP's technician will determine whether a logic board is required. If you are concerned about cost or repair time, you can ask the AASP for a cost and time estimate before any repair work starts.

  • G5 iSight Wont Boot Tiger From DVD!!

    Hello All,
    I am a Mac amateur and I am having trouble with an iMac G5 iSight.
    I am considered the IT man of the family but have little experience with Macs but understand that they don't install/function like pcs.
    Here's my problem. My Uncle has this iSight G5 and has hardly ever used it since he bought it so I have took it off him. He has a user and password prompt at the startup(can't remember either). He says he doesn't want anything thats on the machine so I thought I'd do a clean install/erase from inserting the install disc and holding down the 'option' key at startup to boot to the dvd but when I do this, it only shows the Macintosh Disk and no Install Disc icon to start the install. I also heared that pressing the c key at start up will boot to the cd but this does nothing and just boots up OS X as normal of the hard drive. I am doing this with the original backup disks but also tried with a copy of OS X 10.4.2 but that isnt recognised when booting with the option key held. This is driving me mad. My brother has a 'non' iSight G5 and doing the option key reboot with the G5 restore disk you can see the install icon and same applies to the Tiger install DVD.
    Can anyone help?
    The grey restore discs are OS X 10.4.2
    AHT v 2.5.3
    Disc v 1.1
    Thanks

    Not only is installing the right files a concern with the Target Disk Mode method, the iSight's installer disk may refuse to install anything at all since in TDM the iSight's drive appears as just another drive attached to the non-iSight model. If the installer is like the one for my rev B model, the only OS install option also installs the bundled iLife apps. Since these apps are otherwise a retail product, the installer may check for a matching model & refuse to run because it will detect a non-iSight one.
    Other things to consider:
    A. The iSight model is not constructed like the two earlier iMac G5's to be user serviceable. The case back does not come off; rather, the front bezel & LCD screen must be removed to access the interior components. Since this was not designed to be done by users, this involves carefully removing a taped in place black film mask, removing hard to reach Torx head screws, & handling the bare LCD screen assembly. This would almost certainly void the warranty & might damage something if done by the inexperienced.
    B. Find out if the iSight model was registered with Apple by the original owner. If so, have it transfered to your name so you can call Applecare with your issues. Also consider the Applecare extended protection plan.

  • Isight noise

    Whenever i try to record a video in imovie using the isight it makes a very fast beeping noise that gets recorded through the microphone right next to it. Thus making my sound have a constant beeping noise in it. Is there something im doing wrong or do i have a problem with my isight? anything else?

    To Apple Discussions!
    "_*from day one*_ I had this interfering noise with the iSight."
    Did you contact Apple during your 90 day warranty of free phone tech support? Do you have AppleCare?
