Selling iPhone with Apple Care Protection Plan, Transfer required?

I am selling my old iPhone 3Gs (just upgraded to the 4s : D ) and it has two months of Apple Care Protection Plan left on it. I was wondering if it was necessary to transfer ownership of Apple Care Plan. The reason I ask is I cannot find my original receipt for the iPhone, nor the Apple Care paperwork, though I do have the original box with UPC.
I have heard people say that the Apple Care Plan follows the phone and not the owner, therefore the new owner would have no trouble getting service on this phone. However, when I tried to request service (just to see if he could do it) it asked me to log in with an Apple ID. I am wondering if the new owner entered his ID, could he request service? Or would it have to be my Apple ID?
So I have two Questions:
1) Do I really need to transfer the plan over to the new owner for him to be able to get service?
2) Do you think apple would even transfer the plan without the Apple Care documentation, or the original iPhone purchase reciept?
Thanks in advance for the help

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.

Keyboard language change with Apple Care Protection Plan?

If I get the Apple Care Protection Plan for a Mid-2011 MacBook Pro 13-inch, can I change my keyboard language?
I understand that it is unibody, but if they can just swap it, that will be great, just wondering.

No, I mean the actual layout. the shapes and the locations of each keyboard is different if you compare the Japan and US layout. My dad has a US keyboard, and I have a Japan keyboard, and if you compare them, there are significant differences, such as the enter/return key is bigger, space bar is and delete key are smaller, and is missing the option key on the right of the space bar for the Japan layout, while the US layout has the opposite. The locations of some other keys are different, such as the caps key, fn key, and control key. I am used to the US layout so I want this changed.

I am planning on buying an iphone 4 from some one. The phone still has the Apple Care Protection plan on it. Would there need to be a transfer of plan onto my name? If so, how is this done?

Hi, I am planning on buying an iphone 4 from some one. The phone still has the Apple Care Protection plan on it. Would there need to be a transfer of plan onto my name? If so, how is this done?

As the others have said, transferring AppleCare to your name is not absolutely essential. It can make things easier in some cases, though, should questions arise, so it's worth having done. The person from whom you're buying the iPhone will have to call AppleCare Plan Administration (s/he can call the normal Apple support line and ask to be transferred) and arrange to have the plan transferred to you.

Can I purchase the "old" Apple Care Protection Plan for the iPhone 5S?

Hi community,
I have an iPhone 5S since day one of launch (september 20th 2013) and I want to purchase an Apple Care Protection Plan for it.
As I remember it's possible to purchase it as long as the 1-year-warranty is running, so my time is limited :-)
It seems as if the "old" Protection Plan doesn't exist anymore, there's only AppleCare+ for purchase.
My problem is that AppleCare+ can only be purchased 30 days after the purchase of a new iPhone.
Am I still able to get the "old" Protection Plan with the same conditions or is there no chance?
Thanx-a-lot in advance!

Call Apple care in your country they should advise you if you can purchase as you seem to have fallen between the two Plans if AppleCare+ was announced in your Country after the date you purchased your iPhone 5S

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.

I bought my MacBook with the Apple Care Protection plan, and happened to scratch the bottom of my Mac. Will they replace the bottom of it for free?

Didn't you read the warranty paperwork to know what's covered and what's not?

How do I associate my Apple Care Protection Plan with my iPod Touch

I just bought a new iPod Touch and an Apple Care Protection Plan. The box indicates 'Auto Enroll' and there is no Applecare Agreement Number anywhere in the box (or on it as far as I can tell). I have tried every number I find on the box in that field when trying to register my AppleCare Agreement online and all of them are rejected. Can someone explain to me how 'Auto Enroll' is supposed to work and how I can register my AppleCare Protection Plan for my new iPod Touch? Thanks!

According to Apple Care, 'Auto Enroll' means that since I bought the iPod Touch and the Protection Plan at the same time at an Apple Store, that they are are already associated and that I didn't have to do anything to tie them together. Sure would have been nice if the Sales person mentioned that at the store so I didn't have to spend so much time trying to figure it out only to find out I didn't need to do anything.

Apple care protection plan country specific?

Hi
Is the apple care protection plan (apple care plus) country specific?
can i buy iphone in one country and the apple care protection plan in another as I will be moving there?

Apple is said by other's experience to try to honor its warranty world wide in the countries in which Apple has an official presence. Apple does not have Authorized venders and service providers in every country.
Folks report the best warranty service with the GSM iOS devices. The CDMA devices are country/cellular provider specific and folks report that they are instructed to return them to the country of purchase for warranty service. For example, folks bought gray market Verizon iOS devices in Hong Kong and report that when they needed warranty service, Apple in Hong Kong told them that the Verizon devices could only receive warranty service in the US because Apple does not sell the Verizon model in any other country.

What is the difference between apple care protection plan and apple care

What is the difference between apple care protection plan and apple care +

apple care protection plan
That is the extended warranty (total of 3 years including the standard warranty for the first year) for any Mac computer.
apple care +
That is the extended warranty (total of 2 years including the standard warranty for the first year) for any iDevice (iPad, iPhone, etc).
For either, the standard warranty is usually referred to as hardware warranty (not Applecare); see an example for the warranty for an iMac:

whereas the extended Applecare is referred to as that:

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.

My MacBook Air is not being listed under the My Products tab after adding the Apple Care Protection Plan

I purchased my MacBook Air from US in December 2013, my company paid for it, so it got listed under their account earlier. So I asked them to remove it from there account and then I added it back to my profile in January 2014. Then it was listed under My Products tab in the My Support Profile page. Later I bought Apple Care Protection Plan for this MBA, and registered that plan with my MBA's serial number and soon after that, MBA vanished from My Products. I thought it might take some time for it to get listed back again after adding the protection plan, but it didn't appeared for quite a long time and so now I am opening this support ticket.
Now whenever I try to add my MBA again by clicking Register New Product, I am getting "According to our records, this serial number is registered to another Apple ID. If you have more than one Apple ID, log in to My Support Profile with that Apple ID to see your other registered products. Not sure if you have another Apple ID?" How can I get my MBA back into my profile?

AppleCare does not cover accidental damage, but try taking it to an Apple Store and see what they say!

I use Pro Logic 9 and see that to upgrade to Pro Logic X I need to buy the full package again. Does apple offer special conditions for their Apple clients ? Are users of apple care protection plan better served ?

I use Pro Logic 9.1.8. and see that to upgrade to Pro Logic X I need to buy the full package again. Does apple offer special conditions for their Apple clients ? Are users of apple care protection plan better served ?

Old saying applies here most of the time......
"If it ain't broken, don't fix it"
I choose to use LP9 with Snow Leopard myself (10.6.8 and 9.1.6) for most of my commercial work simply because I find that combo very stable and provides the best overall performance for my setups here... but I am also using LPX with Mavericks as part of my client support and that works fine too although with a drop in performance due to the heavier demands made on the hardware by the newer OS X and LPX graphic routines for example..
