Paid or free apple support if ipad2 is purchased from a non-apple store?

I am thinking about purchasing an Ipad2 from a non-apple store (i.e. Best Buy, Target, etc.).   Does anyone know if one has to pay for apple support if the ipad2 is purchased a non-apple store or is it free?

You are entitled to 90 days of free phone support when you buy the iPad - no matter where you buy it. When you activate the device, I think it is registered at the same time. But to be absolutely certain, I would register the device anyway.
The iPad is warranted for one year from the date of purchase from manufacturer defects. Once again, it does not matter where you buy it.
Best Buy and some of the other resellers do offer an extended warranty for additional price as does Apple with their own Apple Care plan.

  • Can I approve a purchase from a non-Apple product?

    I need to approve my daughter's purchases on her iPhone from a non-apple product. Is this possible?

    Assuming you are using Family Sharing, no there is no way to do that.

  • I recently update my iphone 5 and had lots of problems.  Apple support helped but now I see that none of my music is downloaded.  Do I have to download each song/playlist individually?

    I recently update my iphone 5 and had lots of problems.  Apple support helped but now I see that none of my music is downloaded.  Do I have to download each song/playlist individually?

    Updated the phone to IOS 7.1.1 but there was a problem with my computer.  Everything was removed from the phone but I couldn't get it back without help.  The tech helped me and everything is fine now except the music.  I did sync it and backed it up but wonder if I should restore backup.  I'm a little nervous to try that, what do you think.

  • I can't find my previous ??? concerning if it is possible to load songs from a "non-apple" device into iTunes

    I can't fnd the question I asked in here roughly an hour ago - concerning if I can load songs from a "non-apple" device. I have a SanDisk that I'd like to load my songs into iTunes - is this possible?

    A.C.,
    These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…
    Don King Resurrected: Deleted files from hard drive (free user steps – music recovery only)
    MacMuse: Computer Crashed (free user steps – music recovery only)
    Copying music from iPod to computer (a primer on various methods and software)
    Copying Songs from Your iPod to a Mac or PC (resource for 3rd party software)
    iPodRip Software
    PodUtil Software
    Senuti (Mac OS X v10.3 or higher Recovery Utility)
    XPlay (Software For Music Recovery &/or Cross-Platform Functionality)
    XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
    After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation (and many other potential disasters).
    You need at least two full sets of your music, not including what is on the iPod:
    -- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
    -- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
    -- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
    Music files on just the iPod and only one other medium is not considered having any backup.
    If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer’s internal HD, then create and maintain at least two external sets (any multiple combinations of ExHDs, DVDs, CDs).
    Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?

  • Is there any way to access my contacts from a non apple device?

    Is there any way to access my contacts from a non apple device?
    I am waiting on my new phone to arrive but in the mean time can I access my contacts from a non apple device? Please help!

    If you synced them to iCloud, you can view them on icloud.com from your computer.  They can also be accessed from an Android device using SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts.  Or, you can download them from iCloud as a vCard (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606), then import them to another service such as Google in order to sync them with a non-Apple device.

  • Can the Apple USB charger be used to charge other non-Apple USB devices?

    Can the Apple USB charger be used to charge other non-Apple USB devices?  I just purchased an electric toothbrush that uses a USB port to charge.  If I'm traveling, I would like to consolidate and take only one charger.  Would it be ok to use the apple charger for both items?

    Yes, as long as your toothbrush doesn't require more than 5W power draw.

  • We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a  non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

    We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a  non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

    No, not all network clients -- only the two mac portables and they run together very rarely. The windows machine is hardwired to the modem router combo, and that's always sailing smooth. The mbp that is most used is perhaps 20 feet max from the router - and in another room. But it also happens when I take in into the same room as the router. On occassion, I have noticed while using network diagnostics, that one digit in the IP number sometimes appears to go awry. I then try to set up manually - and it works for a bit but is hugely erratic.
    I rigged a hand me down airport express and set up a separate network for the two macs and it ran beautifully for some weeks, but that little piece is now dead and none of the retailers in my suburb seem to have one in stock. I don't want to be forced to buy an airport extreme and here in India, there's no trustworthy online ordering option.
    The man from the ISP's been here several times and I don;t think it is a modem/dsl issue because the smartphone connects and the macbook drops when both are the same distance from the router? I am truly foxed and intensely irritated! :-(

  • My iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode. Followed apple support instructions...uninstalled and reinstalled all apple products.  Not getting any error codes, just cord/tunes pic. Itunes is not recognizing my phone so I cant even restore. Pls help !

    I just got this phone about 2 weeks ago.  I was prompted to do an update and did it... then my phone showed the image of the wire to the itunes symbol... so it's in recovery mode.  I have been working on this for hours!  I read tons of apple support procedures and followed them to the letter.... HT1414, TS3125, TS1538 etc.
    I uninstalled my itunes, quicktime... all the apple products like the instructions said. I reloaded everything and rechecked to make sure it was good.  Driver is showing up good with no problems.
    I would totally be fine with restoring it to the original settings... I've only had it for 2 weeks! But itunes won't even recognize the phone so I can't even hit the restore button.  This is so frustrating. I am running windows 7... and I ran all updates like the apple support instructions said. I checked updates with Norton.  All good. I did all the windows & norton updates before I uninstalled and reinstalled apple products. If I could only get itunes to even recognize the phone.
    The phone is not jailbroken... it was fresh from the factory... then that update!
    Please help.  I am without a phone.

    I may have fixed the issue. The errors in device manager were a driver error apparently windows didnt have appropriate drivers installed to allow itunes to recognize a device in recovery mode. I followed the paths in the guide above in more detail using this path ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 under if device not recognized while in recovery mode) to alleviate the issue update is now installing appropriately ( i hope).
    I will update if everything works correctly

  • I live in the UK and have set up a case for Apple support to call me. They say none of the numbers are reachable. I have specified UK. The 07.. is the only type of number I can enter. Can anyone help?

    My wife can't remember her security questions answers and has exceeded tries. She can log into her Apple account ok though. She is now being asked for these when trying to purchase stuff. She has gone online to Apple support and stated UK. th eonly format to provide a phone number is 07.. or 01... Apple send us an email saying they can't contact us on the number she has provided. Any help??

    It is because Siri only has access to US business and such, and not UK. As the Apple site says, "Siri is available in Beta only on iPhone 4S and requires Internet access. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area."
    Siri is still in Beta.  It should hopefully improve for us this year.

  • Can Apple Support Help - My Battery goes from 40% to 0% if i take a picture, when recharge it goes back to 40% within 1 min.

    I have a iphone 5.
    I have noticed that when I do anything that could drain the battery, such as take a photograph, the iphone shuts right down and I get a picture indicating I have no charge and that I need to plug in and recharge.
    Within 2 mins of doing this the battery indicates the same power level which it was when I started to take the picture, say 30%.
    Do I have a battery or hardware or a software problem, if so is there a fix.

    You should get your phone checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store next to your place.
    You can also contact Apple Support and talk to them. They can check the battery online.
    You can also visit this page to do that: iPhone - Contact Support - Apple Support
    Click on Apple Support, then on ->Battery, Power &Charging ->Battery questions and troubleshooting, and follow the instructions.
    Also see if your phone could be part of the iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program
