Transferring AppleCare to a new owner

I purchased an MBP from the Apple store around August when my state held a tax holiday, but due to indecision ended up not using the product at all. I know this is going to sound pretty weird, but it's sitting in my home sealed in its original packaging. I'm considering selling it on eBay, and I'm wondering if the new owner will have just one half of the original one year of Apple Care, or if there's a way for them to have a full year since the computer is technically new. Thanks.

Applecare starts from the date of purchase, not from the date that the box is opened.
Ciao.

  • Transferring registration information to new owner?

    Is there a quick and easy way of transferring the license ownership of one user to another? I cannot use my copy of Final Cut Express due to an underperforming Macbook. I've already registered it but want to transfer ownership. How does one do this with an Apple product?

    To begin with, you don't have to register it and registering gives you no benefits.
    However, if the new owner wishes to register, all they do is hit the registration button and they will become the newly registered owner. The previous owner's registration will be deleted as it is overwritten by the new one.

    I have recently upgraded to 3rd generation Nano and have given my old nano to my mum but do not know how to register her as the new user, so currently it is still registered in my name. Can anyone help please??

  • When selling an apple product with active applecare, how do you transfer to new owner?

    I am planning to sell my iPad 2 with current applecare thru December 4, 2013. How do I transfer it to the new owners name? Or do they just register it under their own AppleID using the product serial number?? I have all receipts.

    Call Apple support, ask to speak with someone in AppleCare Plan Adminstration, and they should be able you. Transferring the plan isn't strictly necessary, but it could avoid potential issues should the purchaser ever need service.
    Regards.

  • How do I transfer registration to new owner ?

    I am selling my powerbook and need to know how to transfer the registration to the new owner as well as the Quickbooks NUE registration.
    Any help will be apreciated.

    Unless you are transferring an APP with your PowerBook, there is nothing you need to do. Of course, it would be a courtesy to the new owner to hand over the original bill of sale/receipt for the PowerBook, but the warranty is dependent on the date of first sale which is attached to the serial number on the machine and not to the machine's original owner.
    If you have an APP, you would need to follow the steps delineated in paragraph 6 of the Terms and Conditions:
    6. Transfer of Plan
    You may transfer this Plan to a new owner of the Covered Equipment by sending or faxing notice of transfer to AppleCare Administration, P.O. Box 149125, Austin, TX 78714–9125, U.S. (fax number 512–674–8125). You must provide the Plan Agreement Number, the serial numbers of the Covered Equipment being transferred, proof of purchase of the Plan, and the name, address, telephone number and email address of the new owner.
    You would have to read the EULAs for any third-party software to learn how to transfer those items to a new owner.

    If you are asking about AppleCare and if that is transferable, the answer is apparently yes for new purchases at this time (not sure if this same policy was in place when your computer was originally purchased):
    "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."

  • ? about transferring Intel iMac to new Intel iMac

    I'm considering a new iMac and am trying to find out if there is a way to duplicate my old drive onto the new drive (instead of using "migration assistant").
    Can I create a full disk image of the old computer, then somehow transfer it to the new one? When I used migration assistant when going from a MacbookPro to my current iMac, I noticed some things did not transfer, transferred incorrectly, lost settings, etc. (Sorry, I can't recall any specific examples right now.)
    Also, once I have my new computer all set up, what steps do I need to perform to bring my old iMac back to "out-of-the-box" condition? I know I'll need to use the original install DVD (can I format the drive during an install?), but at what point do I stop the setup? In other words, I don't want to go as far as entering any info during setup (language, user name, etc.). That would be for the new owner to do. I want it to be exactly like I got it from Apple.
    Thanks,
    Michael

    This is not advisable. Your new iMac may require specific drivers that are not present on the older iMac. Cloning the disk, as you suggest, will probably result in an unstable machine.

    I don't think you can do this. You can do an "archive and install" from the DVD and this will reinstall the OS and preserve your data. This is about as close as you can get.

  • I am selling my apple mac pro but do not know how to deregister and register it to the new owner; how do you do this?

    I am selling my apple mac pro but do not know how to deregister and register it to the new owner; how do you do this?

    Before you sell or give away your computer, in addition to the steps mentioned in this support article, take these steps:
    Run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do this (or he should), and you don't want to be surprised by the results.
    Reset the PRAM and the SMC, which might contain personal information.
    If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
    If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
    If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted
    If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
    Erase the data partition(s) with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you upgraded to OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall  an older OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by booting into Internet Recovery (option-command-R at the startup chime.) If you installed from physical media, deliver those to the new owner.
    If you're selling the machine, or donating it in working order, and it originally shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, then you have the option of installing either from the discs that came with it or from a retail Snow Leopard disc (which you must then transfer with the machine.) The buyer should understand that if he doesn't get the original discs from you, he won't get the bundled iLife applications or the Apple Hardware Test. Replacements for the original discs can be ordered from Apple.
    The new owner will have to redownload any software that came from the App Store, including OS X upgrades, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer those either.
    Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

  • How do I wipe the data from my Mac if I sell it on to a new owner

    I am selling my version 1 Mac book air, running on Lion, how do I wipe the data from the machine but leave the OS in place and working for the new owner?
    thanks

    To prepare a computer for sale or donation, in addition to the steps mentioned in this support article, take these steps:
    If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
    If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
    If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted
    If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you paid for an upgrade OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstallthe original OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by booting into Internet Recovery (option-command-R at the startup chime.)
    The new owner will have to repurchase the software, if need be, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer them either.
    Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

  • Transferring Snow Leopard to new(er) Macbook

    Sorry if this question has been answered a million times. Please feel free to direct me, via a link, to an appropriate answer. I need to transfer a retail copy of Snow Leopard from my '06 1.83Ghz Macbook to my new(er) 2008 2.4Ghz Macbook. I plan to swap hard drives. Do I need to and/or will I be able to transfer the Snow Leopard license? How do I go about transferring the license (if it's necessary and/or possible). Thanks for any help. (I have a very tenuous grasp on all computer-related endeavors. Yesterday, I managed to accidentally erase 193GB of music from not one, but two hard drives...ugh)

    Is this Server or Client?
    Mac OS client installs to not require a serial number. Apple depends on each individual to honor the license agreement. Meaning that if you only hold a single use license you will only install it on one machine and delete it from others.
    If it is Server, then you can enter the server serial in Server Admin. Server will check to see if another copy of the license is running on the LAN. Again, according to the SLA you can only run one instance of a serial number.
    Now, if the install is from a Grey OEM disk that shipped with a particular machine, you may have difficulties installing from disk.
    What are your plans for the old machine? If you sell it, please be kind to the new owner and include the grey restore / install disks that shipped with it.

  • New owner here.  How can I select specific pages of a document found on line and print just those pages.  What I see is the ability to select only 1 page at a time and print that one selected page only.   Thanks much.

    New owner here.  I see that in printing I can select one page and print same.  How do I select numerous pages from a document and print only those selected pages? I would not think that I can only select one page at a time.  Thanks much

    Just change the range as illustrated below.  If you don't see that, click the Show Details button.

  • Sold my wifi iPad and reset b4 selling but new owner can't log into apple keeps asking for old( mine) Apple id

    Sold my wifi iPad and reset b4 selling
    New owner can't sign into his Apple ID keeps asking for old (mine) Apple ID
    Thought would have erased with resetting iPad

    Hello, your iPad is 'Activation Locked' as a part of 'Find My iPad'.
    Log onto www.icloud.com, go to 'Find My iPhone'. Then select 'All Devices', your old iPad will probably show here, select 'Remove from Account'.
    If there is no option to 'Remove from Account' ask the current owner to switch iPad off for a while, and remove from account should show in 5 minutes or so.

  • I sold ipad2 verizon 3g but new owner can't register it under his name

    I bought an ipad2 with verizon 3g. I never used the verizon connection nor ever registered it with verizon. I sold the ipad to a guy. He is trying to register it to verizon so he can use their 3g network but it tells him that it is still registered to me. I spoke with verizon and they said it is not registered, and never was, under my verizon account. I caled Bestbuy, where I purchased it and they said to contact apple. I have tried repeatedly to contact apple to change the registration and all I have been told was the new owner just needs to log into register.apple.com.  He has already done that before even contacting me. Any way to transfer ownership of the ipad to someone else so they can use it?

    Yes, he went to a Verizon store. They were the one that told him to contact me to "disconnect" my service.  I told him not only did I not have service on it, I never registered it - with Verizon or apple. Verizon says they cannot even locate the product in their system to do anything if they could.
    If anyone has been successful at this I would appreciate any advice. Flaming isn't proving your superiority in any way.
