Registration Isuse of Macboook Pro - Bought in USA from Online Apple Store

Hi All
I live in India and needed to buy the Macbook Pro i7 / Quad Core / 1TB 5400 RPM HDD / NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB GDDR5 / Hi-Res Display Macbook Pro, but this configurtaion was not available in India and no option to buy online in India the required configuration. Though I did check with Apple India representative and people at Apple re-seller in India and answer was no.
Then I asked if I buy the Macbook Pro with requried configuration in USA then will it be supported in India and also will I be able to buy the AppleCare Protection Plan - for this answer was Yes.
So I asked my friend in USA to buy the requried configuration and he ordered the Macbook Pro with required customized configuration at Online Apple Store. Since Apple Online Order requries Apple ID to place the order, the Macbook Pro purchase request order was crreaetd with my friends apple Id.
Now after I recieved the Macbook Pro, I thought of registering the same with my Apple ID by entering the serial number at http://supportprofile.apple.com it says that this Macbook Pro is already registered with other Apple ID.
I checked the coverage at - https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do it shows up the details and warranty validity.
So my question here are:
What do I need to do to get the Macbook Pro registered with my Apple ID as I need to buy the AppleCare Protection Plan in India and register the same for extended coverage? As per Apple Support site it is recommended to buy the AppleCare Protection Plan in the country of residence.
What exactly my friend should do to de-regster the Macbook Pro currently associated to his Apple ID and enable me to register the same with my Apple ID?
Since this Macbook Pro is by default registered with my friends Apple ID from the time of purcahse, does it mean it will also be registered in his iTunes Account?
What all other places my friend has to login and make changes for de-registering the Macbook Pro to enable me to register with my Apple Id?
Thanks in advance

What exactly my friend should do to de-regster the Macbook Pro currently associated to his Apple ID and enable me to register the same with my Apple ID?
You need to add the serial number of the MBP to your Apple ID list of registered devices. Your friend needs to remove this device as well.
Apple - Support - Welcome To My Support Profile
To find the Serial number:  > About this Mac > More information > Serial Number.
Since this Macbook Pro is by default registered with my friends Apple ID from the time of purcahse, does it mean it will also be registered in his iTunes Account?
Not necessarily. Just sign into your iTunes account with your Apple ID when you open iTunes.
What all other places my friend has to login and make changes for de-registering the Macbook Pro to enable me to register with my Apple Id?
Make sure to delete any user account he made on your CPU. Sign into the App Store with your Apple ID. Sign into iCloud with your Apple ID. Sign into iTunes, as indicated above, with your Apple ID. You can associate your user account (System Preferences > Users ) with your apple ID. The main thing is step #1...this is how Apple associates any device with a given user.

I guess you mean unlock the device. To lock it would mean to be possible to se it only with one carrier.
So no, unlocking the device must be done by the original carrier, you should contact them to do that.

HT201263 My I phone 5 got hot actually very hot.. Boiling hot and then the battery charge went from 100 to 50 and within a minute was shut down and never on again...I bought the phone from the apple store in manhattan new York I bout the unlocked phone

My I phone 5 got very hot actually boiling hot although it was not exposed to any external heat ...it was fully charged and within 10 minutes it was half charged 50% and within one minute it was shut down ... Tried re charging through the computer and through the power but no response the phone is totally black... Tried connecting to I tunes and no response.. The thing is that I bought the I phone 5 on the 23 rd December 2012 from Manhattan new York and I live in Qatar and there is no service centre in qatar .. I am now without a phone although I paid 706$ and that's a big amount .. I am disappointed .. I bought an original phone from the original apple store and I ended up with a product that didn't survive for a month.. What quality assurance do the apple have on their products...I need help here

I appreciate the fast reply.
Well, I checked the iphone and the battery charged going from the bolt to the plug in the upper right hand corner very quickly. On my other cell phones, charging took a REAL long time.
Again, is this normal? I unplugged the iphone from the charger and I am going to monitor the battery power today. I find it odd that the battery would work on standby for 4 days without recharging the battery and then start doing something wacky. Any thoughts?

If I bought Iphone in USA from oficial Apple Store, can I change it in my country under international warranty?

There is an oficial re-seller of Apple company in my country (Kazakhstan). I called them and asked, they said the international warranty doesn't cover Kazakhstan. Hello how come? (. I really disappointed of Apple company, I thought Apple take care about its customers all over the world that's why people love Apple, but in my case I can't do anything. Apple is losing a market sense. What a shame!!!!

There is no international warranty on iPhones. The warranty is only valid in the country of sale. That should have been made clear if you told the sales staff you were planning on taking the iPhone out of the US.
You can see if there is Apple support in your country from the listing: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

Where to do an exchange if my iPhone is bought from Online Apple Store?

Hello , I just want to check in future if my iPhone gets faulty (( praying hard it wont )) , where do I have to go , to make an exchange? Do i go down to my local Authorized Service Provider? Thanks!

Yes, your local Apple Store.
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

Is iPhone unlocked when bought from an Apple store?

I bought a 3GS from an Apple store last year on PAYG in the UK. The guy in the shop asked me which network I'd like to use and he got me the SIM pack and set the phone up for me. I want to change carriers so will I have to get the phone unlocked first, or not?
Thanks

If you purchased it from the Apple store, it should have been unlocked. What happens when you put in the Australian SIM?

I bought a new Mac Pro from an Apple store, it was sold as factory sealed, but it's reconditioned - it has some strangers entire photo,library from 2003 to 2011 in the trash bin.

. I bought a new Mac Pro from an Apple store 2 days ok, it was sold as factory sealed, but it's reconditioned - it has some strangers entire photo,library from 2003 to 2011 in the trash bin.
I was bought a Mac book pro as a birthday gift from the Apple Store in Leicester, after completing the initial set up procedure, I noticed that the trash bin was full of some one's entire photo collection from 2003 to 2011.
This is entirely unacceptable for Apple: How long have Apple been fobbing of consumers who believe they were genuinely purchasing a 'new' Mac book?
How is it that I have someones entire photo collection on my 'branch new Mac Book Pro' - these photos included wedding photo's, birthday celebrations, family celebrations and children. Its a serious breach of data protection, it's an invasion of some poor persons privacy and private photo collection. What concerns me the most, is what could have happened if those photo's had fallen into the wrong hands. We managed to trace, locate and contact the person who the photo's belong to within 10 mins using information taken from their wedding album.
Understandably these people are also very distressed that their personal photos are on my brand new Mac Book pro.
I would like details of who to contact in regards this incident.

Just bought Mountain Lion from the app store on my Macbook Pro. In the middle of installion it froze up my computer saying that the installation failed,
It says my Hard Drive is damaged and cant be repaired. Has anyone had this problem? Im completely screwed...Thanks Apple!!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities,
I had a similar issue and it was an easy fix for me. First you need to log out of your account completely in the Mac App Store. Quit the application. Re-open the Mac App Store. Click log-in, enter your Apple-ID and password. Now when the screen pops-up that has all of your billing/credit card information on it DO NOT select done. Instead select View my Account, then select View hidden purchases. There you should be able to find iPhoto. Hope this helps if not let me know. I'm still searching solutions for you.
