Should I buy Apple Protection Plan?

I have a 15" MacBook Pro (Late 2008) whose 1 yr standard warranty be expiring in a month, should I buy an Apple Protection Plan?
I plan to use it for atleast 2 more years but have not faced any problem so far & use it sensibly...

GET IT! My bought a plan for my MacBook Air a month before the one year warranty expired. Well, yesterday I went to turn the computer on and the hard drive was completely hosed. DiskWarrior wouldn't even recognize it. Called Apple last night and FedEx was at my door this morning with a box to send it in for service. They picked it back up this afternoon and I expect it will be back Friday morning before 10:30AM--all covered by warranty.
TIP: Shop eBay for an AppleCare plan. I bought all mine there at around a 50% discount.

  • If I buy a mac nook air in USA and use it in india or some other country will I get the same service and replacement facility and buy the apple protection plan in some other country?

    Will I be able to use the same services in other country?
    Will I be able to book the apple protection plan in other country?
    If at all I get a replacement for my mac book air, then will I have to send it to the country from where I bought or anywhere?

    It looks as though the Mac has a global warranty.  Take a look at Applecare Protection Plan for Mac or Apple Display for full details.
    It likely depends on the availability of Apple stores or authorised repair agencies in the country you will be in.

    When i bought a new iphone5 in Inda after using it for three days lock button was not working properly and it was warranty claimed and exchanged from apple service center in India, for the same phone I want to extend the warranty but its showing a error message is there any solution?

    Here is some information on the applecare +:
    http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
    It appears that you have to buy the applecare within 30 days of buying your phone - you said that your phone warranty is almost over, so when did you buy it??? That could be the explanation for the error.

  • Apple Protection Plan Question

    Would It be ok to get the apple protection plan on ebay and get it for 150 rather the the 250 from the apple store.. ?

    Well - I suppose that you could buy it and if it isn't what they advertised you can get a refund - but read the description carefully.
    If it's really AppleCare, and it's for the Mac you have - and it hasn't been used - and Apple says it's OK, then I would do it.

    You should contact Apple for assistance using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Ask for the agreement administration department. They should be able to fix you up.

  • If you have an apple protection plan and upgraded do you need a new one?

    I have just upgraded to the 4S and I have an apple protection plan for my 3GS.  Do I need to purchase another apple protection plan?

    Your old AppleCare does not transfer when you upgrade, sorry.  And AppleCare+ for the iPhone 4s needs to be purchased at the same time as the phone itself, so I believe you are out of luck at this point.

    Seems you may be able to add it up to 30 days after purchasing the iPhone, but you have to go in person so they can inspect the phone beforehand.

  • Should I buy AppleCare Protection with Ipad2 in US, for overseas usage?

    Hey guys,
    I'm planning the buy the Ipad 2 in the US for my usage in Singapore.
    I was advised to get the AppleCare Protection together with the Ipad.
    Thing is, would the protection plan still be valid in Singapore even though I bought it in the US?
    THANKS!

    Do you really need it? I cant say any of my apple stuff ever goes wrong and ive called the telephone support once. Also, do you plan on keeping it for more than a year? Most apple folk tend to get a new decice every year, right around the time their warranty expires?
    Its an extended warranty. You can buy the apple care at any time while your device is still under its original 1 year warranty. So if you wait until the end of your year and decide if your going to keep the device, then buy the care, if not then youve saved yourself some cash.
    Have a read of their FAQ's. Its global coverage where it will be fixed by a local apple authorized dealer (if there is one). If not you post it off to apple in the US.
