Transferring Apple Care Extended Protection Plan

I bought my friends iphone 3gs and she does not have the iphone box or the apple care extended protection plan box anymore but i  am able to see online that it is still in warranty but it is in her name. How can I transfer the iphone into my name without the boxes and apple care registration number?

AppleCare is a warranty extension and covers manufacturing defects. It is not insurance and will not cover user-caused damage, such as scratching or cracking of the glass (unless the crack was determined to be due to a defect in manufacturing, not the iPad being dropped or impacted).

  • I have read through the terms of Apple care extended protection plan but i need clarification.

    I just read some ipad horror stories about the glass getting cracked. I am not too sure how Tough these babies are, but before i splurge on an extended protection plan for my practically brand new ipad2, i would like clarification as to whether accidental coverage is implied; say for example if the glass were to get scratched, or cracked; under the extended service plan, iit be a covered repair, parts and labor ?
    Thanks for readin'

  • Can I purchase an Apple Care extended warranty for an iPad Air if I purchase it at Best Buy?

    CAn I buy an Apple Care extended warranty for an iPad Air if I purchase it at Best Buy?

    For me? Buying from best buy was my only option since the closest apple store is over an hour away. (and technically in another state)
    Also, when I bought my iPod the warranty that Best Buy offered was far more comprehensive than Apple Care with accidental damage protection for up to 3 years.
    And, when my iPad's charging port messed up, I took it into Best Buy and they swapped me out for a new one while at an Apple store I likely would have gotten a refurb.
    When I swapped out my iPod 4 for my iPod 5 I took it into best buy, got $70 towards the purchase of the new device by trading in the old one.
    Best Buy isn't perfect and not every store is a good one, but they are a good alternative or other option to explore for those buying devices.
    I think my biggest beef when buying my iPad and later iPod at Best Buy is when I bought my iPad I bought the screen protector and they wanted to charge me to apply it...and it kinda rankled for me to be plunking down over $600 dollars to have them want to charge me $15 for a screen protector install.

  • Apple Care Extended Plan

    Hello all,
    I'm sorry that this may not be in the correct forum, but I couldn't find a forum for "general questions"... so again, forgive me.
    I currently have an extended plan through the retail store where I purchased my MBP (the store is Fry's Electronics in California)... and it was $349 for 5 years.
    I'm thinking about returning that plan (I have another week which I could do that ) and purchasing an extended Apple Care plan.
    However, that plan is the same price for only three years. The advantage is the tech support over the phone.
    I'm looking for advice from those who have/still have the Apple Pro Plan?
    Thanks, in advance!

    Well there are some things to consider.
    Do you think you will hang on to the Mac for 5 years?
    Are you not to versed with Macs?
    Does Apple offer a loaner you feel you might need in the event of a problem? NO
    I am hopeful this will help you in your decision.

  • Transferring apple care to a new user

    Hi,
    I sold a MacBook Pro with over 2 years of Apple care - but looking through the support pages I cannot find a simple answer to how to do it. I have the serial no and the policy no - just don't know where to do it ....

    You have to transfer AppleCare to the new owner. Read here:
    1 0 .   T r a n s f e r o f   P l a n
    With Transfer of Covered Equipment to New Owner. Subject to the restrictions set
    forth below, you may make a one-time permanent transfer of all of your rights under the
    Plan to another party, provided that: (a) the transfer includes the original Proof of
    Purchase, the Plan's Confirmation and all of the Plan's packaging material, including
    printed materials and these Terms and Conditions; (b) you notify Apple of the transfer
    by sending, faxing or e-mailing notice of transfer to Apple Inc., ATTN: Agreement
    Administration, MS: 217AC, 2511 Laguna Blvd, Elk Grove, CA 95758, U.S., fax number
    916-405-3655 or [email protected], respectively; and (c) the party receiving
    the Plan accepts the Terms and Conditions of the Plan. When notifying Apple of the
    transfer of the Plan, you must provide the Plan Agreement Number, the serial number of
    the Covered Equipment being transferred and the name, address, telephone number and
    email address of the new owner.

  • Apple care worldwide protection

    Hi
    i have an iphone that was bought whilst in the States, but i now live in England. I want to buy the applecare plan but i am unsure if i am covered for worldwide support. i have looked at the terms and conditions on the apple website, but i am still unsure and it does not answer the question. so can anyone confirm whether the protection plan is world wide.
    I was also thinking of having the phone unlocked as it is a bit expensive using my AT&T plan here, will this invalidate my ordinary iphone warranty.
    many thanks

    Once unlocked your phone is void of warranty, also without a current AT&T plan I think they will know the warranty is void but not sure of this.

  • Does Apple offer a Protection Plan for the IPhone

    Does the IPHone have an Apple protection Plan now?

    yup its true apple dose.. but just be aware that it dose not cover normal ware n tare =/
    b. Limitations. The Plan does not cover:(ii) Damage to the Covered Equipment caused by accident, abuse, neglect, misuse (including faulty
    installation, repair, or maintenance by anyone other than Apple or an Apple Authorized Service
    Provider), unauthorized modification, extreme environment (including extreme temperature or
    humidity), extreme physical or electrical stress or interference, fluctuation or surges of electrical

  • Apple Care removes Protection Film / "ScratchStopper"

    Is it typical, that Apple Care removes your "ScratchStopper" from the Display according to Diagnosis? (Even if they apply no maintenance?)
    My experiences with Apple Support were always very good but now I am a bit disappointed.
    Is there any hope to get a refund?
    Thanks a Lot

    Hi Ed,
    What did they say was the internal damage? You need to have them explain the damage, and how they consider it caused by you. This is totally unacceptable if you have Applecare that they would be doing this. You sound too nice and just accepting what they are telling you. You need to call Applecare and fight with them.

  • Apple Care extended warranty??

    Good bad or indifferant.....What about other extended warranty plans like Best Buys or Radio Shacks?

    Again, read EXACTLY what the warranty covers.
    If it does NOT say it covers loss, damamge by
    accident, etc. it will NOT be covered, regardless off
    what the salesman tells you.
    Usually, 40-50% of a store managers salary comes
    directly from extended warranties. They are cheap &
    easy to sell for the store and the compnay makes big
    $$$ off of them.
    This is not necessarily bad, but for a $20 cd player,
    you don't need one.
    Here are a few interesting articles.

    I appreciate the links..... The minute I say scrap the extended warranty, you know my ipod will go on the fritz and out of luck I will be............. I think Best Buy will even replace your battery for free with that extended warranty.

  • Will Apple Care extended warranty cover broken glass?

    Or, for that matter, will the 90 day warranty do anything for broken glass on a 4G?

    I was wondering the same thing.  I have an iPhone4 with the AppleCare plan.  Although I have had my phone and AppleCare plan for a year, I didn't bother registering the plan until tonight when my glass broke (from a fall of about two and a half feet).
    My paperwork for the AppleCare plan says that it simply extends the warranty.  That tells me no coverage except for manufacturers' defects.  However, when I went to register my plan at the Apple support website, I was redirected to this page for details of the plan I had just registered.  http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
    Quoting from that page:  "Every iPhone comes with one year of hardware repair coverage through its limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary support. AppleCare+ for iPhone extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPhone1 and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $49 service fee.2 Whether you use your iPhone with a Mac or a PC, just one phone call can help resolve most issues."
    This would seem to imply that for a $49 fee, I can get my glass replaced.  Anybody know if that's the case?
    The plan I purchased is called "AppleCare" in all my paperwork.  However, this web page indicates "Applecare+".  Anybody know if there is a distinction between Applecare and Applecare+? 
    My guess is that sometime in the last year, they added that "two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $49 service fee" sometime in the last year.  And when they added that coverage, they changed the name from AppleCare to AppleCare+.  But that's just a guess on my part.  Anybody know for sure?

  • Are Refurb Phones Accepted in the Apple Care Extended Warranty?

    anyone have any input on this?

    i was wondering if i can extend the 90 day warranty on the refurbs
    Most likely no. The original warranty is the deciding factor in purchasing AppleCare. More than likely, the original warranty on the refurbished units you purchased has expired, thus making them ineligible for AppleCare. You can confirm this by plugging the SN's in here:

  • Input on extended protection plans for iPhone 5.

    I purchased my iPhone 5 from Verizon and only have 10 days to get AppleCare. I am looking for coverage that will cover loss or theft. Any input on what you have used?
    Do I need an appointment to add AppleCare?
    Thanks
    Sean

    Answering the second question first, yes, you will need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar at an Apple Store to have them check out your iPhone before you'll be able to purchase AppleCare+.
    As to the issue of insurance for loss or theft, you'll probably need to tell us what country you're in before anyone can make suggestions. But I'd start by getting a quote from the insurance company you have your homeowners' insurance through and see what they'd quote to provide a rider for your iPhone.
    Regards.

  • If I buy a new iphone is my apple care plan still valid on my old phone?

    If I buy a new iphone is my apple care plan still valid on my old phone?

    The Applecare remains with the device until expiry and is transferable
    Is the AppleCare Protection Plan or AppleCare+ transferable?
    Yes.
    If you choose to sell or give away your Apple product, you can also transfer the ownership of the AppleCare Protection Plan or AppleCare+. Please see the Terms and Conditions for complete details.

  • Does Apple Care protect my battery?

    I'm getting a little worried that my apple care 3 yr plan won't cover my brand new late 2011 Macbok pro 13" laptop. I read the service agreement and says it doesnt cover batteries unless defective by manufacturers. so if my battery just suddenly dies before my plan is up, they STILL wont cover it?
    Someone who knows the apple care plan please tell me i didn't just waste my money on this plan.

    Applecare covers defects in materials and workmanship for two additional years beyond the basic warranty.
    But folks who have a Mac that is covered by AppleCare, and not beat up, often get treated a little better when they submit their Macs for needed service.
    Batteries are considered a wear item, like tires or brakes on a car. In most cases their replacement due to normal use will not be covered. But certain problems that develop --may-- be covered if you have AppleCare and the problem does not seem like normal wear. A swollen battery is an example that comes to mind.

  • What and for how long additional OR separate benefits I receive after buying Apple Care?

    I bought a MBA 13" in India (home) last month.
    I wanted to know about Apple Care / Extended warranty that is available for sth like ~15K (INR).
    Can you please give me a detail as in what do I get with this for my Mac and for how long?
    Can I buy this before the day my current/default warranty expires or shall I have to buy this within some stipulated period from the day of purchase of my Mac?
    What is already available for my Mac as of now and for how long? Shall anything be added to warranty or care that is available with my Mac as of now? Shall be added right from the day I buy it or it will happen so after my current warranty/care gets used up i.e. after completion or 1 year or for whatever period MBAs comes with care/warranty. So, these extended warranty simply increases the number of years on my protection plan or gives additional cookies?
    If I buy an iPhone5 then shall I have to purchase separate apple care for that? Or is it available for all my Apple products? Or if not then are there such plans that I can buy to cover all or many of my apple products and are cheaper as a combined purchase?
    Within that period if let's say my Keypad fails screen goes kaput then Apple will either fix it/replace it or it will ask for extra money if it needs replacement? Or will ask for extra money even if it was not accidental damage (my fault)? I read sth about accidental damage with AppleCare purchase - it adds to the first year also or only during the next two years (or next 3 years - not sure how long it holds).
    Shall I have to buy it offline or i can buy it online too? What if I buy from another country (online/offline) if it's available for cheap over there?
    I see some deals on such packages on eBay - mostly on USA eBay, and have read posts people buying it but they were mostly from USA/EU. Can I buy one of those? Shall they be valid for my product(s)?
    By the way, does Apple provide an email support with those plans because I couldn't find one email address for Apple support.
