Terms that void apple care with RAM upgrade

Hi,
I want to upgrade the RAM of my macbook to at least 1gb. I have heard some conditions that may void the apple care that I bought. So, I heard that you would have to leave at least one of the original RAM cards in there for the warranty to still be considered good? Is that true? And if that is try is it bad to mix a 1gb RAM card with a 256mb or is there a difference, or is it better to just get 2 512mb? thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The RAM of a MacBook is considered a "user installable part" by Apple. You will not void your warranty by replacing the RAM. However, if you damage something in the course of changing the RAM, the repair will not be covered by the warranty or AppleCare Protection Plan. Here is Apple's article about this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25097
Apple will even give you instructions on how to change the RAM:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303721
Because of the graphics sub-system installed in your MacBook, there is a benefit to using matched pairs of RAM. How much this will impact your user experience will depend on how you use the computer. Personally, I would recommend you keep the RAM in pairs, but others here have had no noticeable problems with unmatched capacities of RAM.

  • I ordered my macbook pro online along with the apple care but apple says that the apple care with not physically be delivered. does this mean that my mac is already registered and covered? What do i need to do?

    I ordered my macbook pro online along with the apple care but apple says that the care will not be phyically sent.  What does this mean?  Is there something I need to do?

    Since you're ordering both the computer & AppleCare directly from Apple, Apple Care will automatically be registerd. Thus, nothing for you to do other than enjoy your computer.

  • HDD User Upgradeable... But does it void Apple Care?

    I've got a MacBook on the way and I'm already thinking about upgrading the stock 60GB 5400RPM HDD with a 100GB 7200 one (as Apple doesn't offer any 7200 RPM drives with the MacBook).
    Coming from an iBook, which is possibly the least easy to upgrade HDD I've ever seen, the MacBook's HDD bay is about as "user upgradeable" as I've ever seen. Does Apple support this?
    If I upgrade the hard drive,
    1. Will it void Apple Care (which I also just paid for)?
    2. Will I need to hold onto the original drive in the event I ever need service (or "will Apple refuse to service the machine if it has some third party drive in there")

    #2 might be a good idea, just to be sure...
    However, if you read the text of the warranty here:
    http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/hardware.html
    and do a quick search, you will see that the word 'void' NEVER appears. In other words, nothing you do will ever void or cancel your warranty entirely. But, they can still refuse to fix things that you happen to break, and I'm sure they wouldn't replace your 100GB hard drive if it were to die
    As far as I can tell, even if you take a sledgehammer to the screen and go to the apple store and say "hey, I hit my screen with a sledgehammer, can you guys fix it under warranty?" they'll say "heck no, you have to pay for it" but your warranty will still exist for other parts of the machine, and once you get the screen replace it will cover the screen again...

  • Apple care with MBP and iphone

    Hi I already have apple care with my mac book pro and wondering if i can add my iphone to it, or do i have to buy more apple care just for the phone ?

    No you cannot add a product to an existing Applecare.
    Applecare covers the product that you purchased.
    You would have to buy Applecare for the iphone

  • Baught & Registered Apple Care with Computer.  Now they say I am not.

    I Baught & Registered Apple Care with my Computer November Last Year. Now they say I am not registered and need the receipt. I am in Bolivia and do not have it with me, calling costs 3-5$ per minute! Any advice on resoliving this issue with them? Also, limiting phone use would be great, Thanks in Advance.

    How did you originally register Apple Care, by phone or online? You can double check Apple's Warranty Info website or check with the Bolivia User Group on how to proceed without paying for a phone call.

  • Problems with RAM upgrade iMac G5 1.8GHz

    Stuck - Need Help!
    I've previously upgraded up iMac to 2 500Mb RAMs and felt recently that it needed that little bit extra, so I ordered two 1Gb chips from crucial.
    Followed instructions to T, but with the two new chips in, the machine won't load.
    Interestingly, it boots up with the following RAM combinations
    old 500MB + new 1GB (in any combination) - recognised as 1.5GB
    one new 1GB RAM (again either one) - recognised as 1GB
    I spoke to crucial who said that as the RAMs work individually, there isn't a problem with them, it could be a Firmware issue. I've upgraded all my software, and don't know what to do next?
    Anyone overcome a similar problem in the past?
    Thanks

    I'm experiencing something very similar to shaow. I'll share my experience in gory details - sorry for the long post but I've spent more hours trying to stabilize. I should have worked the hours at walmart and bought a new iMac with the money I could have earned
    Anyway, here goes:
    Two iMac G5 1.8Ghz 17" (both Fall 2005 model), will call one A and the other B.
    Prior to attempting ram upgrade: A, config working fine: both a config using 1GB slot 1, 256MB slot 2 and a single 1 PC3200 1GB stick. OS X 10.4-10.5.7. No problems. I did have the motherboard replaced under warranty after having sleep problems - capacitors were expanded. No problems since that motherboard swap.
    Prior to attempting ram upgrade: B, config working fine: 2 x 256MB sticks. OS X 10.3.9
    Ordered 3 PC3200 400Mhz 1GB sticks from Data Memory Systems.
    Upgraded A: Added 1GB stick = 2GB total
    Upgraded B: Removed both 256MB sticks from B and added two 1GB sticks = 2GB total
    Booted B, experienced gray screen of death with the multi-language crash message - somethign like: 'Please hold down the power button and restart'. Power cycled B, booted off a retail box DVD of OS X 10.5.6. Began upgrade to 10.5.6. Gray screen of death part way thru upgrade. Power cycled, gray screen of death again during early boot phase.
    Decided to run tests on B. I could not locate the Apple Hardware Test (neither on system dvd 1 nor on a separate DVD). I resorted to using TechnoTools Deluxe which was included with AppleCare box. No hardware problems found including on the 2GB memory.
    Removed both new 1GB sticks, pulled older working 1GB stick from A and installed into B. Completed upgrade with just 1GB memory on B to 10.5.6 and subsequently pulled down all updates for OS X 10.5.8. Powered down, added second 1GB stick to B, booted into 10.5.8 successfully. Repaired disk permissions, restarted. Began using applications, then after only about 5 minutes experienced gray screen of death. Powered down, removed new 1GB stick, replaced with one of the two remaining new 1GB sticks. Read about reseting PRAM/NVRAM. Followed steps to reset PRAM then decided to do the reset NVRAM within openfirmware. Started back up and logged into 10.5.8. Ran several applications - did not experience gray screen of death after about 20 minutes use. Have not had time for further tests on B yet.
    Back to my saga with A (my original iMac G5 that was working fine with 1GB stick on 10.5.7):
    Called Data Memory Systems and they sent me a replacement for the 'bad' 1GB stick.
    While I was waiting for the new 1GB stick from DMS, I was struggling to get machine fully updated. Software Updater was failing with the weird network error (network was fine) and after following steps to troubleshoot, I backed up the user accounts and decided to reinstall OS X fresh from the 10.5.6 retail box (family license). Finally, I had OS X 10.5.8 all fully updated on the 1GB iMac G5 (A).
    New memory arrived, installed 2nd 1GB stick. Booted up, immediately I got the gray screen of death. Restarted, booted up got about 5-15 minutes use then gray screen of death. Puzzled, I called DMS who said unlikely I got 2 bad sticks. They suggested I try memtest. So I did...
    So on A, I first ran memtest from single user mode on the 2GB config. It crashed immediately with some 'Unexpected' error. Did not look like a memory error. I powered down, removed 2nd 1GB stick, and ran memtest from single user on the 1GB stick. Ran all tests 3x over a couple hours - no problems found. Retested after swapping the 1GB stick for the other. Both tested fine. Installed both sticks again and ran memtest all tests, one pass (didn't want another 6 hours lost) on the 2GB config, and all tests passed. Booted up and got gray screen of death - I don't recall if it was on bootup or after running but I ran fsck with no disk problems found, then restarted, logged in, ran disk utility to repair all permissions. Some repairs were made. Restarted A, reset PRAM and NVRAM again, booted successfully.
    I haven't had much time to run extensively apps on A yet. It's sleeping as I type this on another mac. My next test will be to reset SMU.
    I'm starting to wonder if the original iMac G5 has firmware problems that would prevent it from being unstable with two 1GB sticks??? My experience on two identical models of iMac G5 plus reading this post with VERY similar behaviors and after all the normal tests. I've concluded the memory is A-OK and something more sinister is lurking...
    Any thoughts are appreciated.

  • Problem with Ram upgrade

    Hi, I have an Imac (27", mid-2011) and I just bought a 4Gb Ram memory to install in one of the free slots, I installed and turn on my computer, the computer recognized the new memory but when I'm going to open a program (and even when I leave the computer alone and I don't do anything) the computer restarts with the next message: "The computer restarts because of a problem". I think that is because the new Ram memory but I don't know what is exactly the problem. This is the report I have:

    Thank you all.

    1. You have two different brands, Samsung (M471B5673FH0-CH9) and Kingston (99U5469-035.A00LF).
    2. Typically, DIMMs are symmetrically added, 2,2,4,4 or 2,2,2,2 or 4,4,4,4 and each Bank should have matched pairs in size and speed.
    If you remove the 4GB memory do your crashes stop?
    MACs are very specific about memory.
    You can try this, but it may not work.
    BANK 0/DIMM0 - 2GB
    BANK 0/DIMM1 - 2GB
    BANK 1/DIMM0 - 4GB

  • Apple care-with or without system purchase???

    so i am heavily considering switching to the Mac this summer-I am still figuring out the details but there are two things that I need to ask
    1. Does anyone know of the approximate time frame for 10.5 and should I wait untill then to buy or should i buy it this summmer and then just get the upgrade?
    2. Apple Care- If i dont purcahse it when i buy the system can i still buy apple care 3 months later or am i better off just getting it when i buy it?
    thanks

    ...the Applecare Protection Plan....
    covers your unit from 3 years from date of purchase. You get 90 days of complimentary phone support (from phone line tech agents), if you call on your 91st day (for example) there is a $49 charge...good for 1 issue ...for a period of 5 days...it does not matter software or hardware...but I will say this..if it is determined that it is a hardware issue, your computer goes in for repair...if the repair technician determines it is hardware then you will be refunded the $49 charge. This applies after you 90 complimentary period & before your 1 year hardware warranty expires. You need to purchase Applecare within the original 1 yr hardware warranty...try & make sure you register your Applecare right away when you purchase it...let's say you forget and it's after your 1 year warranty, you'll get phone support once & you'll need to fax all necessary info into Apple to get them to set up your Applecare.

  • The apple care rep hung up on me. How can I send an email to Apple Care with a description of my problem

    The apple care rep hung up the phone on me. How can I contact Apple care by email with a description of the problem that I have. Everything seems to try to push me back into their frequently asked questions list.

    The problem is that the data Apple has for my old Apple ID is contaminated in several ways. First the password I have used for years no longer works. Second, the email address they have in the system to send me a link to change the password is contaminated with an extra.com on the end so that the link never gets to me. Lastly, when I go to answer security questions online they ask for my birthday and when I give it to me, they tell me that is not the date in the system. When an applecare rep (not the one who hung up on me) asked me security questions on the phone all of my answers were correct....but it was when he sent me along to some higher level know it all, the guy started lecturing me about writing things down wrong, and when I chose to disagree, he disconnected. I have some pretty costly apps that I want to update now that I have IOS7 and I casnnot without the password.

  • 3 beeps with ram upgrade

    My Macbook beeps after installing ram upgrade. Doesn't matter what maker. I know that all the specs are right but I keep getting the 3 beeps to indicate the banks are empty, not that it's incompatible RAM type. What do I do now?

    When I put the old memory cards back in, it starts but only showing half the RAM. When I switch positions (slots) for the cards, the empty banks also switch positions so that seems to indicate a problem with one of the original cards now also. Am currently the hardware test. Just done in record time, "no trouble found." However, profile is showing only half the RAM actually installed.

  • Can I get apple care with a contract phone?

    Hi I have a mobile business contract with EE and just wondered if I could take out applecare on the phone instead of using the mobile providers insurance??
    Does anyone know if this is possible?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Call Apple care and ask ,personally I cannot see why not you have limited time toi purchase AppleCare +( in UK )
    be aware Apple care does not cover loss ,theft etc it is a warranty extension not an insurance for all risks
    and in reality most iPhones are on "contract " of one sort or another

  • Apple Care with iMac query

    When I get an iMac, I'm planning on taking out the Apple Care cover.
    I live in the UK.
    When I have needed service on my iPad (3rd gen) which has Apple Care cover, I'm given three options, one is take to an Apple Store, two is Apple will send me out a pre paid package to place the iPad in for to then return to Apple for repair or three the Express Replacement Service.
    I use the Express Replacement Service, which means I get a replacement iPad sent out to me and receive it with 2 working days.
    Now I was wondering, are the three above service options still provided with Apple Care cover on the iMac?
    And also what are the service options with Apple Care cover with the iMac?
    I don't want to take the Apple Care cover out on the iMac if its reliant on me taking the iMac into an Apple Store for service, has the nearest Apple Store to me is a 180 mile round trip.
    Thanks in advance

    Apple does not offer advance replacement on any Mac. Unlike iPods and iOS devices where Apple just replaces the failed device, Apple repairs a customer's Mac, so advance replacement is not an option.
    Regards.
    Thanks very much for the help its much appreciated.
    So my repair options would be:
    1: Take into an Apple Store (which wouldnt be possible in my case has its a 180 mile round trip to my nearest Apple Store)
    2: The Direct Mail in service. Which I assume is where Apple sends me out a pre paid box for me to place my iMac in, which would then get returned to Apple for repair or if repair was not possible, replacment. Is this correct?
    Thanks again.

  • Fixed Water Damage and Void Apple Care

    Hi -
    So I spilled water on my MBP and am having an authorized Apple retailer fix the water damage. Is my Apple Care void even if I fixed the laptop through a third-party provider?

    If the retailer is also an Apple authorized service provider, ask them whether the work they've agreed to do for you will reinstate your warranty/AppleCare. If they aren't an AASP, the answer is no.
