Late Apple Care Activation

I bought an iBook G4 in August of 2005 and purchased the two-year Apple Care Protection Plan with it. Though I had already paid for it, I forgot to actually activate the plan (I'm sure my mother told me to do so, but freshman year in college can be quite distracting). I didn't realize this until a couple of weeks ago when I went to the genius bar to replace a disfunctional keyboard and wasn't covered to do so. I have my Apple Care iBook Enrollment Number as well as the original e-mail invoice/receipt/proof-of-purchase for the computer purchase.
My question is this: How can I activate my Apple Care now, so that I can recieve the support I paid for? Or who do I need to contact to activate my coverage?

Austin, Welcome to the discussion area!
You should be able to present the documentation at the Genius bar and have them enter the information. Or call the AppleCare number and present your case.

Apple care activation

12/3 warranty runs out of my iPhone and I will enlarge with Apple Care, buying it on the official website. My question is if the code will be active from the time of purchase or when I have in my possession. Thank you nd regards from Spain!.

When is it to late to get Apple Care

I bought a 13" macbook last year may is it too late to get Apple care? If not how long will the apple car last for?

The 1 year anniversary is to the Original "New" purchase from Apple or designated seller. It does not apply to purchasing used.
So if you bought it new in May 2010, and purchased & activated APP prior to the anniversary date, then it will extend your warranty until May 2013.

Activating my macbook pro 13" Apple Care protection plan

I purchased my macbook pro 13" in February 2011 from JBHIFI. I have not been using my laptop much and only recently opened up the original box for the laptop and found the apple care protection plan I had purchased with it, however not activated.
And so, I've tried activating it online providing registration & serial numbers, however it says the following when I try and activate it;
"We apologize for any inconvenience, but registration for this product requires additional documentation. Please submit your proof of purchasefor review by Apple. If your registration is accepted, your product will be covered."
- I click submit your proof of purchase
- which then asks me "Please provide your mailing address and describe the reason for your submission."
After that it then asks me to provide the following information...
Gather your sales receipt (with the receipt number, product description, original date of purchase, and reseller details).
Gather the documentation that includes the agreement number for your AppleCare product, if applicable.
Tell us how you want to send your proof of purchase.
The problem is, i NO longer have the receipt, and so can not pass this stage. Why is the registration process being difficult for me?
If it helps, I tried registering over and over, not realising I had been pressing 1 key wrong (about 4 times).
Help would be appreciated, thanks.

ah... I'll have to wait till tomorrow... they are closed today.

Can the apple external disc drive that I just got for my air also work with my late 2007 macbook pro? The internal disc drive broke after apple care expired, natch.

No, sorry. it won't work with the 2007 MBP. You can replace the optical drive yourself - just go shopping at OWC.
Good luck,

Is my apple care protection automatically activated when I purchase the iphone?

is my apple care protection automatically activated when I purchase the iphone?

If you bought Applecare from Apple when you purchased your phone then it is automatically activated - but check out this link for all of your options if you didn't - http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html - be sure to keep all of your documention including emails for future reference

Can an apple care plan be used for a phone that was previously broken and was later turned in for a new undamaged phone?

I dropped my iphone and the screen cracked so I am paying $200 to exchange it in the mail for a fixed phone. I know the apple care plan can only be bought for new phones, but will this phone count as a "new phone" and be able to be covered under apple care?

I see ads on Amazon selling "used" Apple care, If this is decided by the laws of a country, does anyone know if it applies to the US? I'm interested in covering my MBA and I could save about $100 if I went for one of these "used" deals on Apple Care.

HT201198 I Have already activated my apple care but I don't know where my paperwork is can I still use my warranty

Apple would have a record of your Apple Care purchase tied to the device you covered in their system.

IMac late 2009 having screen issue. Return possible with apple care?

I have 27" 2009 model. I bought it when it first came out. I knew that some of the first batch had screen 'yellowing' issue back then. I thought mine was fine or it was fine then it went bad.. either way I can now notice that the right side of my screen is more 'yellow-ish' than left. It is pretty significant difference and effects my graphic work.
I have bought apple care and haven't opened the envelop yet but what are my options? Do they accept return and give back refurbished ones? if so what's the turnaround time... or do they offer repair option at apple store?
Thanks in advance

You need to contact AppleCare, you can find the phone and link information here.

Can I still get apple care?

Hey,
I was wondering can I still get apple care on my Mac BookPro 13" I got it in Late 2011?

The starting clock is actual date of purchase. And they do count all of the actual day even you bought it at 6 PM. And if you buy it online "purchase date" is when they process your card, not when you receive it.
Get AppleCare a week in advance to be sure all snafus in getting it activated will not push you beyond that first year.

Apple Care Protection Plan Help!!!

Okay, so I bought my Macbook Pro just over a year ago and with it I bought the Apple Care Protection Plan. And only NOW do I realise you have to ACTIVATE it, but apparently it's too late as on the website it says you have to purhcase it within the a year or purchase. So what do I do??? Does this mean I wasted 500 bucks on ACP when I can't even activate it? Should I phone apple up and ask them about it. I do have a receipt saying that I bought it WITH the macbook pro if that helps...

I would suggest you give Apple a call. Did you purchase your MacBook Pro from Apple or someone else? At least if you purchased it from Apple they would have a record of the transaction... maybe just a little plus over if you purchased it elsewhere... even if you have the receipt. It certainly can't hurt to give them a call and ask. I would imagine that it's not uncommon for people to purchase AppleCare and not know that it needs to be activated. Just let us know how you make out in case someone else encounters the same thing.

My Display Only Works Part of the Time and Apple Care Won't Help Me (Long)

I bought my computer at a discounted price because it was a restocked item, but was it really worth it? I'm beginning to think not. I saw that it had one stuck pixel, but saving that much money on such an expensive computer, the pixel hardly seemed like a travesty. However, I think I've discovered the real reason why the last owner gave up such a seemingly exceptional piece of hardware...
After about a month of flawless operation my "new" computer started to act a little strangely. It wouldn't always go to sleep when it was scheduled, the screen saver wouldn't always come on by itself...things that I though a simple PRAM reset, SMC reset, or disk permission repair would fix. After countless attempts at all three "fixes" I was still having problems...a few days after these problems started occuring something even more drastic happened: My computer would turn on (the little light would come on, I'd hear the fans start running and the start up tone) but the screen would remain black. I tried several PRAM and SMC resets as suggested on this forum, but the screen continued to come up black for about an hour. That's when I called Apple.
The Apple Care specialist on the phone asked me for the serial in which I had to lift the computer up to get (since I obviously couldn't read it off the screen). She suggested an SMC reset which, I explained to her, I had tried already but it hadn't worked, however, I was willing to give it another shot. Oddly (and rather annoyingly) enough it worked, and for a short amount of time I was happy...until it happened again...another call to Apple...and again...and about 3 or 4 calls to Apple Care later, they suggested that I go in to an Apple Store to have it looked at.
The Apple Specialist made an appointment with me to meet with an Apple Genius the next day at 4:30PM at a store about a mile away from my house. The next day I lugged my 24" iMac through the local mall (I'm female, 5'2", and I weigh about 108 so it wasn't too easy of a feat) to discover the apple store was CLOSED for the next few days so that they could "make the store better." I called Apple Care on my cell phone right there in the mall and asked them what was going on. Didn't they know that this Apple Store was closed? The man I was talking to said that they knew and he wasn't sure how the person I had talked to just the day before had signed me up for an appointment when he hadn't even asked for my e-mail address. It was most bizarre. This man made an appointment with me for later that same day at an Apple Store about 45 minutes away from where I live. I didn't want to go, but I'm a college student and I was a desperate for my computer to work again.
Shaking around in that box must have brought it out of it's strange seized-up state because as I brought it out for the Mac Genius to look at it turned on for him no problem. Quite a frustrating problem because it's so spontainious that it keeps making me look like either a liar or a fool. He said he'd run an 8-hour diagnostic check on it and I could pick it up the next day. So the next day I waited for their call but I got none. I called them and they said that they were still running tests and it'd be ready the next day. The day after, about an hour and a half before I had to go to work, they called me and told me my computer was ready. They said they had ran a 24-hour diagnostic and everything was working fine but they said they'd run more tests if I wanted them to. I'm a full-time college student and I need my computer for just about all of my classes, so I declined more tests and told them I'd pick it up right away. I dashed over there to pick it up and dashed back as fast as I could (and I even made it to work on time...but just barely). Later that night I found that they had accidentally left their diagnostics CD in my computer (I called them about it and they said that would like it if I would bring it back...I still haven't mailed it).
All was fine and good (well, just okay...it still had problems with its sleeping and screen-savering) with my computer until yesterday. I got that black screen again upon start up....but this time my "fixes" worked after a few tries. There were no more problems for the rest of yesterday.
However, today I came home from school and go to start up my computer and the screen turned on and I saw the little mac symbol and that little circle of bars...but then it froze. I held in the little button to force a shutdown and when I started it back up again I was greeted by my good old friend, Mr. Black Screen. Just wonderful. I tried my "fixes" but today I didn't get lucky. So while I was holding in the button to start up my computer (again) and give it another go, I held it longer than I was supposed to and the little on light began flickering. Then I heard this unpleasant tone that lasted a few seconds before stopping and treating me to the startup sound. This time the screen turned on. Yay! I go to call Apple to find out what I had just done, and I find out that my 90 days are up and unless I wanted to pay $50 for them to be puzzled by my issue once more or give them $300 for not quite 3 more years of service, I'd have to lug my computer to an Apple Store or post here to get help. Thanks a lot Apple Care.
My "new" computer cost me almost $3,000. It should work the way it's supposed to. I need it to last me no less than 6 more years, but with the problems I've had with it in the first 3 months (which seem only to be getting worse and more frequent), I don't know if I'm expecting WAY too much out of it. I've been a loyal Apple user for 13 years and out of the 5 computers I've had in that time I've never had so many problems (actually I've never had any problems, at least nothing really serious; I'd never even called Apple Care before this). I'm a fairly experienced user (I'm not a Mac Genius or anything, but I know the ropes) and I am sure this is not normal behavior for an Apple computer (or any computer of that matter).
I'm so frusterated I'm not sure what to do. What's wrong with my computer? How can I get Apple to help me? How can I get Apple to even believe me? Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thank you so much for reading my very long (and rather dramatic) story.

Thanks for reading and thanks for the advice. Perhaps I'll ask them about it next time this problem occurs, although carrying the thing through a mall that is only about a mile away is the least of my worries. I'll do if it is both free (I don't make enough at my job to pay for such a service) and relatively speedy, although I'd hate for them to come over and for the computer to work properly (as bad as that sounds). It'd be a wasted trip and nothing would get fixed.
I'm contemplating videotaping myself performing my "fixes" on it the next time I have this problem.

Can apple replace my stolen iphone? i bought apple care but not insurance from cspire.

its just not fair. apple should at least make sure its stolen. apple care should cover theft. now i know the reason they wont replace apple products, because someone could easily say their iphone got stolen and didnt even have a phone in the firt place. Thats understandable but cant they check my records? ANYTHING! Check with my provider. Cspire knows my phone has been stolen for over a month. IT`s Gone. please! i dont want any other phone ! my account is still active. its suspended but not shut down. please ! is there anything i can do BESIDES find my iphone . that app is useless at times like this!

It's a good idea to check the terms of your insurance first. Some companies will raise your rates as soon as you make any kind of claim, no matter how small, and the deductible may be so high that making a claim is not worthwhile.
Sorry for the loss of your phone. It's a huge pain, I know.

How can i check if my apple care is on my name?

Hello, i have got a mac book from someone and it has already had the apple care on it. I just called apple care to switch the ownership of apple care to my name, but i still wonder if the representative has changed for me. So i do not have to worry if there is any problem later on. Thanks

MacBook Pro Mid - 2010 has question mark folder and block sign at start up could I get apple care and apple will fix it

I need information ASAP on what I should do with my MacBook Pro , am I able to just give apple the money for the apple care cost and they'll fix problem

It's too late, at this point, to get AppleCare, unless you purchased the machine on or after February of 2011 - and then you'd only have a few months, at best, of extended warranty.
The best thing that you can do is to either diagnose the symptoms and fix the machine yourself or take it into an Apple Store or AASP and have them diagnose and fix the problem(s).
If your profile is correct and you're running 10.5.8 then you should get disc one that came with your machine and boot from it and run Disk Utility's Verify and Repair commands on your hard drive. If it fails, you'll know that the problem is most likely with the hard drive.
Good luck,
Clinton
