Should i wait to buy applecare for my macbook pro until the one year warranty is almost up?
Would i benefit from waiting till the one year warranty is almost up. Because then i would maximize the time in which it is under warranty right??
If you get AppleCare before 90 days is up you also continue free phone tech support from Apple - so by getting it as early as possible you increase the time you can get free phone support. If you go past 90 days you won't be eligible for free phone support until you get AppleCare, but still get hardware warranty for the full one year from date of purchase.

Does it make a difference when you buy your applecare?

Thanks, I had forgotten that little but important detail!
I once considered Applecare for that specific reason and that is why it popped into my mind when I read the post. I trust that my contrary answer was not meant in any way a criticism of your response. Regarding its importance, that is to be determined by each individual. For me it is now moot since I did not purchase Applecare. -
If I already have iWork suite on my iPad, do I need to buy another for my MacBook Pro?
If I already have iWork suite on my iPad, do I need to buy another for my MacBook Pro, can i transfer to my new acbook pro?
The Mac version is a separate version from the iOS version and has top be paid for separately.
If you buy it from the Mac App Store (MAS) however it is quite cheap and can be installed on all your computers that use the same Apple ID.

My ipad mini has not been functioning properly as of late and it is making me worry. What could be causing this problem? Are such changes covered by the one year warranty?
If there is a hardware problem that is causing the lack of touch screen sensitivity, it would be covered by the warranty as long as the problem was not caused by accidental damage - like dropping the iPad, getting it wet, letting it get too cold, too hot ...something like that.
See if this helps. Close all of the apps in the recents tray and then reboot your iPad.
Tap the home button first. Then double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
is a single crack on the front screen of an iphone 5 for verizon covered under the one year warranty at no cost
Not unless the crack is determined to be caused by a manufacturing error.
Accidental damage is not covered under the standard one year warranty, which is a limited manufacturing warranty, not insurance. -
I Have a ipad mini i bought my dad as a gift and he let my little brother play on it frequently (9 years old) and one day he dropped it in its case, it seemed fine till a hairline crack in the corner began to swim across the screen. It's still within the one year warranty i checked online but im not sure what apple will do for me or can do for me? Can it be replaced?
It will cost you approximately US$219.00.
Apple will replace the entire iPad; they don't repair.

Where do I register my computer for the one year warranty?
Where do I register my computer for the one year warranty?
If you’re trying to register an Apple product, chances are it’s already registered. Most Apple products can be registered when you turn them on for the first time and begin the setup process. Service and support for your Apple product are linked to its serial number, so it’s OK if you don’t register it. If you'd like to check the service and support coverage for your Apple mobile device or computer, click here.

I just downloaded Mountain Lion for my MacBook Pro from the App Store. I was curious if it is possible to downloand Mountain Lion to my iMac without paying the $19.99 fee again? Not trying to be a cheapskate, just curious if App Store purchases are universal like iTunes Apps.
You can re download Mountain Lion for free on all your authorized Macs using the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select Mountain Lion.
Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install. -

You would need to buy it again for the mac. If you buy an ios app then it will automatically download on all of your ios devices, however this is not the case for macs.
Hope it helps,

My iPhone 4 lock button broke, will Apple fix/replace it for free under the one year warranty?
I've had my iPhone 4 for just under a year now and a couple weeks ago the lock button broke. At first, it was just difficult to press down and now it's just completely stuck. I've been using the assistive touch but it's kind of a hassle. I still have a few days left of my one year warranty, so if I went to the Apple Store would they fix/replace my phone for free or would I have to pay? Also, I was having issues with my speakers previously so I went to get it fixed and they said my phone has water damage and I would need to pay to fix it. Will the water damage effect them fixing my lock button too or is it different? Any advice/guidence is greatly appreciated!
If there is water damage then they will likely conclude that your issues are a result of that and you will have to pay.
But don't ask us, ask them. We're users and this have no idea what Apple will say in your case. -
Hi, does anyone know if I buy a new 7th generation nano off ebay, will it be covered by the one year Apple guarantee even though I wont have a reciept? I.e using the serial number.
Yes. It will stil be covered and all you need is the serial number.

I am buying the 15" Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display (2.3GHz Quad-Core Intel i7, 16GB, 512GB flash storage...) which is £2,199. I'm going to University and so therefore I am apparently entitled to a 15% discount which makes the price £1869.60.
I went into the store today and double checked this, and the man confirmed it and told me about AppleCare and how it can be purchased for around £40 which extends the warranty to 3 years. As far as I'm aware, without AppleCare, the standard macbook comes with a complimentary 1 year for service and repairs, and 90 days telephone support. I have heard that, if you buy it as a student, the 1 year for service and repairs is automatically extended to 3 years, but the phone support stays the same - is this the case if you purchase it in-store? I know there is the 'Education Store' on the Apple website, but can I still be within the 'Education Store' contract if I purchase the MBP from the store?
I basically want to know if I will get the exact same offer from the 'Education Store' if I go into the store, or if I'll end up with a better offer if I go and use my university's network/call the store and purchase it that way?SophieLucinda wrote:

Students get the same warranty as any other purchaser. In Europe, some jurisdictions mandate that the warranty be for two years. Check to see if that applies in your country. If you want Apple care, that will be an extra cost option.

It should not make any difference.

Applecare for my MacBook Pro 2012?
Hey guys, I have a MacBook Pro 2012 and I still have the warranty on. So I'd like to purchase AppleCare for it, to extend it for two more years. I'm in India and I have no idea if I have to buy a specific AppleCare for this MBP or if buying any AppleCare meant for MacBook Pro is good. Please help me, thanks.
Call Apple tech support or Apple Customer Relations. This is a user to user message board. We can't help you only Apple can. Apple can explain the procedures that pertain to India.
