Protection Plan for MacBook Pro

Hello
Apologies guys for the simple question.
Is it true that a Protection Plan for a Macbook Pro can only be purchase within the year the computer was bought? Or can it be bought anytime post-three years after purchase, I assume that would be the case though it would make little sense in doing so.
Cheers,

I would also suggest buying it sooner rather than later. Applecare provides unlimited telephone support for 3 years from the original date of purchase on the computer (not the purchase date of the plan.) So holding off on buying it does not get any additional coverage time.
Instead, buy it early, as you only get 90 days of phone support without the Applecare plan. Also, if you plan to use an airport base station, wireless mighty mouse or apple keyboard, and if those items require troubleshooting, phone support for those items is covered by the Applecare plan on the computer they are being used with.

  • Do apple protection plan for macbook pro cover retina or is it just macbook pro

    does apple care for macbook pro 15"/17" also cover til macbook with retina or not??

    Covers all Mac models. Just be sure to order the correct AC item for YOUR specific model. Price is contingent on the model covered.
    Edit: it appears that the AC 15" MBP package covers the regulars and the Retinas as well for that size. To be on the safe side, pick the Retina option from the list:

  • Apple care protection plan for macbook pro with retina display

    hi!!! i recently purchased macbook pro with retina display. Im curious about the apple care protection plan to extend the warranty of my macbook. I would just like to ask if the apple care protection plan includes battery replacement w/in  the next 2 yrs?

    it is like car insurance. You purchase it hoping to never need it. But thank your lucky stars for having it after the sheet metal goes CRUNCH!
    BTW, AC needs to be activated while the base warranty is in effect. This means you can wait till the last month or so and avoid having to plonk all the cash up front.

  • Apple Care+ for iPhone 5S & Apple Care Protection plan for MacBook

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding the apple care+ for iPhone and the Apple Care Protection plan for MacBook pro.
    Since I will soon be in Hong Kong, I intend to buy the iPhone 5S due to great savings compared to my come country.
    However, I have a question regarding the warranty which confuses me a bit.
    1) If I buy the iPhone 5S and the Apple care+, does that mean I will be covered world wide?
    I am from Denmark, and the applecare is currently not available from the Danish apple store. but does this imply that I will not be covered when I am in Denmark, in case of an incident?
    If not, what can one do? Should one ship it to an apple repair somewhere in a European country that is covered by the Applecare protection plan for iPhone?
    2) And the same question goes for the AppleCare Protection Plan for MacBook - will a MacBook with the protection plan bought from Hong Kong, and imported to Denmark, be covered world wide, or what limitations does it have?
    I was trying to look through the terms and conditions on the Hong Kong website, however, it does seem rather intransparent some times.
    3) Finally, I have a question about purchasing Apple equipment from the physical Apple store in Hong Kong. As I am a student, I would of course like to have the student prices - should there be any problems getting this price from the physical apple store, or can one only get it from online purchases? Is a valid student ID sufficient proof of student status?
    Regards,
    Michael

    Start here:
    Apple - Support - AppleCare+ - iPhone
    Apple - Support - AppleCare
    From each of those sites you should be able to discover what if any differences may prevail depending upon the country of purchase.
    Apple's warranties may not be honored outside of the country where the equipment was purchased. I have no way of knowing whether hardware purchased in Hong Kong will have a warranty honored in Denmark.
    If you have a valid student ID then the academic discount should be honored in the Hong Kong Apple Store.

  • Is Applecare protection plan for Macbook Air bought in USA valid in India

    Is Applecare protection plan for Macbook Air bought in USA valid in India ?

    As I said above: "AppleCare is valid in the country in which it was purchased."
    So if you moved to the U.S. and the MacBook Air was purchased in the U.S., the warranty would be valid there (assuming all other warranty conditions are met; e.g., purchased within the past year).  Otherwise, the warranty is not valid.

  • AppleCare Protection Plan for MacBook

    I just bought a Black MacBook and I am wondering if I should get the AppleCare Protection Plan for MacBook ($250). Does anyone has a suggestion?
    I know that I have my 1st year garanteed by Apple and I think that is something does happen until then, I have a big chance not to have any problem. So instead, I was planing to get a ProCare ($80) for the first year, since I am a nes Mac user.

    I generally recommend it for laptops. They get a lot more "abuse" than desktops so the hgiher handling does make for more incidents than a desktop. As mentioned you can take 8-10 months to think it over and see how you go.
    I personally would buy it but ultimately everyone values extended warranties differently. You may have a home insurance policy which would cover you just as well if not better.

  • Trying to buy a protective case for MacBook Pro MD314B/A 13.3"

    Hi
    It's my first message on here so hope someone can help me.  I've been an Apple user for three years now and absolutely love all of their products and currently have a MacBook Air, iPad 2 and iPhone 5.
    I am trying to buy a protective cover/case for a friends son who is getting a MacBook Pro MD314B/A for his birthday but I'm having a lot of trouble trying to find one for that particular model, in all my searches (pretty exhaustive so far) all I seem to find are ones for the model A1278 none seem to be coming up for the MD314B/A model that I am wanting.
    I only have that to go by as that is all I have been given by his mum who's pretty computer and Apple savvy so I presume it's the correct information, I just can't understand why I can't find one as I it was a doddle when I found a cover for my MacBook Air.
    I know it is the 2011 model of MacBook Pro and really don't want to guess and order a wrong cover and disappoint someone on their birthday.
    I hope someone can throw some light on how to make sure I find the right one, obviously I can't check on the MacBook itself as it is all boxed up ready for the big day.
    Many thanks to you all

  • Protective cap for Macbook Pro charger?

    Hello, I'm unsure if this has been asked already. I noticed when I plugged in to charge my macbook pro this morning, that the clear protective cap was missing. As of now, it is unprotected and was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a replacement cap for it or is it safe without it? I also already contacted Apple about it, and they couldn't help because they said that they don't carry them. Can Anybody help? Thanks

    You may be able to find one at an Apple Authorized Service Provider:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1434
    They may have a few laying around. I used to make it a point to hold on to them with my first MacBook back in 2006. To be honest, I lost it shortly there after and I've never been very concerned about them with the few machines I've had since then. Unless you're keeping the charger in a very dirty environment or find that you're prone to spilling things... you shouldn't have any problems.

  • Monthly payment plans for macbook pro

    I am planning to purchase a 15" Macbook Pro, but I really would prefer if I could pay off the bill monthly. I know that you can do the Barcalaycard, but is there any way to pay it off monthly without having to get a credit card? if I did get the credit card, would I have to use it for anything else or could it just be solely used to pay off the laptop? Can someone just tell me more about the card and if it's really worth it?

    Seriously, this isn't a question for this forum, which deals with MacBook Pro hardware.  Check this out and read the FAQ.  You may want to call the Apple specialist.

  • Planning for Macbook (pro?) Questions about recording audio + multitasking

    Hi Everyone
    I am seriously contemplating switching to a Mac book (Pro?) in the next few months, and I want to clarify issues about recording audio.
    I record music and other stuff at our local church using a mixer and feed stereo straight into a pc which records using the excellent Adobe Audition (... well it works for me  :-)
    To start with I expect I'll be using GarageBand and later look at other solutions such as ProTools I used to use on the PC.
    QUESTION
    I would welcome experienced users to comment on how well GrageBand or similar can multi task while recording is taking place. In other words what can I do - Not do, while recording.
    Be honest please.
    I worry I might get an exagerated reply from an Apple evangelist and I'm not seeking perfection, just knowledge of practical experiences.
    I'd like an idea of what limits present users have found running recording apps like Garageband or similar.
    As an example :  what experiences running large wordprocessing application or Internet (e.g. FTP or Safari) while recording?
    Replies appreciated
    Pete

    If it's an important recording or a once-only opportunity to record something then I would seriously advise against multi-tasking on any computer, PC or Mac, whilst recording.  Dedicate all processing power to capturing the recording, and if you want to browse the web/update your resumé whilst recording then use another computer!

  • Updating Graphics Card for MacBook Pro

    Hello.
    I have the most recent 13 inch: 2.5 GHz MacBook Pro.
    The thing is, I absoutley hate the Intel HD 4000 Graphics card that comes with it.
    The only game I play on my MacBook Pro is Battlefield 3, but the graphics card has a hard time trying to run the program
    Other than the graphics card, all my computer specs meet the requirements to play the game.
    MY QUESTION IS
    Is it possible to replace my graphics card with a Nvidia graphics card? Probably by opening up my laptop and putting it in.
    I heard that this way was impossible, but I am not 100% sure.
    And if that doesn't work, is there any way to get a newer graphics card? Probably externally through the bolt connection thing?
    Thank you

    Jon,
    Like yourself I found that a customized PC is the way to go for PC games. For several years Apple sort of kept up with PC graphics ability making the Macbook Pros, Mac Pros, and some iMacs close enough to play recent demanding PC games.
    The current trend of thinner and lighter for the Apple laptops has compromised the gaming capabilities to the point that I have switched to a PC Clevo P150HM for new games.  I play Skyrim on ultra settings. The best thing about these PCs is the initial customability and some upgrading ability later.
    One big question I have about the trend to Retinal displays is how much more graphics ability is required to just maintain the existing level of performance.

  • What exactly does the AppleCare cover for MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

    I purchased the extended protection plan for my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15" and my question is what exactly does it cover in what kind of situations (i.e. viruses, damaged ports, damaged charger, etc.)? I want to be able to take full advantage of the protection plan since it was a pretty big whole in my wallet.

    AppleCare covers all the problems you have with your MacBook Pro with Retina display and the peripherals which came with it (your charger) if you have a hardware problem that you didn't cause. For example, after 2 or 3 years and 1000 charges, OS X says that your battery has to be replaced: in this case, you have to pay for the battery, because batteries have got a lifetime, and Unibody Macs batteries have got an average lifetime of about 1000 charges.
    However, if the RAM gets damaged and you haven't done anything to cause it, you will get your computer repaired or replaced for free. AppleCare in a MacBook Pro with Retina display is very important, because near all the parts are soldered into the logic board and repairs are expensive
