Warranty void on Apple engraved products?

Can anyone help me? I'm thinking about buying a 3rd Gen Nano from the online Apple store for my daughter for Christmas and getting it engraved, but I've been informed recently that if I have it engraved it will void the warranty, is this correct?
I have also read the limited warranty and nowhere does it say anything about deeming the warranty void if the iPod is engraved by them.
Any advice welcome, thanks.

Engraving it does NOT void the warranty. (I presume you're talking about the engraving service that Apple offers? I don't know what would happen if you, say, had it engraved by a jeweler or did it yourself.)
What you can't do, if you order it engraved, is return it. So, if you're daughter doesn't like it, you're stuck with it. Unengraved, it could be returned within the standard return period (don't remember what that is. 14 days?).

UPC label removed. Warranty voided?!

Hello everyone!
I guess this is not the right place for this topic but i couldn't find a better one.
A month ago I bought a MacBook Pro and an iPod and I participated in the back-to-school program. Therefor I had to send both UPC labels of the MacBook Pro and the iPod to Apple. The UPC label contains (beside other numbers) the serial number. Today I read through the warranty rules of apple and one part made me wonder:
"This warranty does not apply: (...) (f) if any Apple serial number has been removed or defaced."
The full version can be found here (for iPod and iSight):
http://images.apple.com/legal/warranty/docs/ipodisight.pdf
for other products (such as MacBook Pro):
http://images.apple.com/legal/warranty/docs/cpuwarranty.pdf
Does that mean I voided my warranty by removing the UPC labels of my MacBook Pro and iPod? Just to participate in the back-to-school program? I don't hope so...
I would be very happy if anyone of you could tell me that I'm wrong.

Pretty sure that the Serial #'s in question are the physical ones attaced to the machines. (For laptops, I think they are inside the RAM "hatch".)
Regardless, removing the UPC from the box will NOT void your warranty.

Warranty void due to multiple dents on edges?

currently my ipad display distorted as it still have 6 months warranty so i send in for repair.
but they said can't repair only replacement.
Now they said can't replace it as it has many dents on edges so warranty voided.
that not fair i just bought it for 6 month and the dents were already there for since first month i bought.
so the distortion wasn't caused by the dents.
Does anyone encounter such problem?

Some not insignificant physical trauma caused those dents, and Apple cannot just take your word that the dents didn't cause your problem. Especially since the duration of time between the denting and the problem doesn't mean a darn thing. I once dropped a MacBook Pro on the floor and, despite a big dent, it worked fine... For a month, then the logic board finally failed. Following physical trauma, problems can crop up at a later date, they don't have to occur right away.

Macbook Pro Warranty Void and Beeping 3 times/freezing

Hey guys,
I have a Macbook Pro and it recnetly started beeping three times intermittenly when I started it up and freexzing at the same time.
Sometimes it would work and then after a while of use it would freeze and beep but in the end it became more frequent and the laptop wasn't able to be used on a consistent basis.
I found that if I kept it still it would work for longer.
I have read that three beeps generally refers to a ram issue. I'm not too great with computeres so I wouldn't know if that was the reason why my laptop was doing it or not.
Anyway, I knew that I still had the basic one year warranty on it that comes with purchase so I rang apple and they told me to take it to a store called 'Next Byte'. So I did and after about 2 weeks I got a phone call today telling me that to fix it it is going to cost me $1800. In between his actual laughter at me he told me that logic board needs replacing. Yes, you read that right, he was actually laughing at me, like he thought it was funny. He also wen't on to tell me that I may as well just buy a new one. Well excuse me, and who are you?
Apparently there is visiable cosmetic damage. I know that this voids the apple warranty but I just think it is unfair.
Is there anyway that apple can prove that I caused the damage? I am not going to say that it is 100% conditon, I'm sure there are some bumps and scratches on it, but I truly don't think I have caused this issue. Is there anyway I can talk to someoene at apple who might be able to see if this was my doing?
And you know what else confused me, he told me the price to fix both the cosmetic damage and the hardware damage. But when I ask him how much it would be just to fix the hardward damgage he gave me a quote of $1100, so if he can tell me that he can just fix the hardware damadge that must me that the present so called "dents" on the laptop won't effect the new logic board, so how can they possibly be sure reason as to what has caused the issue with my laptop now? This is really frustraiting and I can't believe that I haven't even had my laptop a year and I have to pay the price of a whole other laptop to fix it.
Please help!

Take it to Apple and ask them. They are the only ones that can tell you.
Three beeps usually indicates bad RAM.

My refurbished rMBP 15" has a stuck (white) pixel and is still under the 1 year limited warranty, can/will Apple repair it if I go to an Apple Store?

Hi, my refurbished rMBP 15" has a stuck (white) pixel and is still under the 1 year limited warranty, can/will Apple repair it if I go to an Apple Store?
I just discovered today that my MacBook has a "stuck" pixel. I read that the display has to have at least 5 dead/stuck pixels else Apple is not going to repair it, is it true? My warranty expires in 1 month so I can't really wait for 4 more pixels to die or get stuck.
Temporary fix:
I know that this is something I can't really repair myself, but I tried some things such as changing the display resolution to it's "Full" 2880x1800 resolution and It actually reduced the size of the stuck pixel.
Thank You,
Etienne

Hello etienne255,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with questions concerning pixel anomalies:
About LCD display pixel anomalies for Apple products released before 2010 - Apple Support
If you suspect your display contains a high number of pixel anomalies, take your Apple product to an Apple Authorized Service Provider for closer examination.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

No we cannot send it to you because we are users just like you and Apple does not monitor these forums.
But you can find the IMEI numbers yourself. Read the ENTIRE article:

I have iphone 4 but not purchase that from airtel or aircel in india does that void my apple warrenty

i have iphone 4 but not purchase that from airtel or aircel in india does that void my apple warrenty, i have purchase from grey market

Only iPhones sold by authorized resellers in India will be serviced by Airtel or Aircel. If you purchased from an unauthorized source, it's quite possible that the iPhone came from some other country, and would be serviced only in that country. Discovering what country the iPhone was originally sold it will be quite difficult unless the place you purchased it from can tell you.
So in practical terrms, it's probable that you have no warranty.
Regards.

I just wanted every one to know if you purchase a Nano from Apple and then go

IPhone 6 (plus) Problem Display Edges Chipping (breaking away) or broken from factory (underside) No warranty coverage by Apple!

ACHTUNG! iPhone 6 (plus) Problem: Chipped (broken) edges of display glass. Owner Beware! Apple denied warranty coverage.
Can this be true?
Recently I found a little trace on the edge of my iPhone 6. Very small, at the bottom edge of the display glass.
You could hardly make it out, but visible enough to catch the eye.
Since my iPhone 6 has never dropped or bumped in any way, I addressed this issue to AppleCare support, and sent them the device.
The upshot: Diagnostics of the technician’s: broken glass! Warranty coverage: DENIED!
This damage comes from improper usage or is an accidental damage.
The AppleCare adviser also confirmed that this device also is not qualified for any further warranty claim, because of the broken display. (See Appels warranty conditions).
Apple returned my phone unrepaired. The sim tray was missing, and a note in the return package said, that warranty repair was denied and that I can buy a new device at apple store.
For me it is OBVIOUSLY a PRODUCTION ERROR by the manufacturer, and has to be fixed for free within the warranty.
I made pictures of this problem so you can see what I mean.
I can only recommend to anyone urgently, to carry a 10x loupe (preferably illuminated) to the store, if you are going to buy an iphone 6 or 6 plus.
Otherwise, if you catch a device with chipped edges on the glass you are out of warranty.
Please notice that the complete bottom edge has marks of broken and chipped glass!
I think the whole construction with the round edges is the problem. The glass is simply too thin at the edges.
It could be more iPhones suffering the same problem.
Btw: The glass surface on top is perfectly intact. The broken pieces are on the bottom!
You can feel nothing if you do not take the display apart.
However, I set up a mail with my lawyer and am waiting how Apple will respond.
They are of course also invited to discuss on community portals worldwide about this.
Please let me know what you think and if someone had success with the same problem.

Hi. I have the same problem. Unpacked a new iPhone6 and the phone had a small chip under the glass on the edge. Local store says that this is not covered as it would have been incorrect use. Pretty strange as it came out of the box like this and the metal edge of the phone is perfect (which shows that it was not dropped), just the glass is chipped (looks as if the chip is inside of the glass). To me it looks like a production issue as the glass is curved and gets thinner towards the edges. Would be interested if more people have the same issue in order to put a claim forward to Apple.....

Macbook Pro Glass replaced by 3rd party - warranty voided?

Hi, when i purchased my macbook pro (feburary 2011 model), after some months, i accidently cracked the glass infront of the screen.
As we all know, apple charges a ridiculous amount to get it replaced as from my understanding they replace the entire lid.
I also purchased the apple car protection plan when i bought the laptop.
I had the glass replaced by a professional store that specializes in this for aobut $150.
They just replaced the glass which was the only problem.
Is my applecare protection package and inital 1 year warranty voided?
Are there any markers the appl employees can tell that it has been replaced?
Thanks in advanced!

It wasn't replaced by an authorized apple service center.
Just by a repair shop.
The call support center is closed at the moment.
It would be very unfir if the $400 odd it costs for the protection plan to be voided only a year after the purchase making it completely a waste as it adds an extra 2 years after the first year.
So, do you think it would be voided since it wasn't done by an auth apple center?
The status of its warranty online says it is all in tact obviously, but if i brought it into the apple store if a problem
arised, and they open it up for repair or whatever, if nothing was damaged when the screen got replaced, is there anyway they could tell it was replaced?

Warranty void stick

Hi,
I just purchased my creative zen touch a matter of hours ago. it has finished its first charge and i have gotten a few songs uploaded. However, i recently discovered that the warranty void sticker on the bottom of the device is now half covering the front and back sections. It is on the back cover only but there are symbols etched into it.
The packaging was fine. it was sealed and brand new.
Could someone shed some light on my confusion?
Thanks

Sounds like a question only Creative Support can answer, and there's no guarantee you'll get an answer from them here (as per the disclaimer at the top of the forum).

I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. I want to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere? Also is it worth just buying another external HD to back up

I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. However, it is not backed up, so I need a solution to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere for cloud products? Will it be cheaper/easier just to buy another external HD to back up my existing external HD? Thanks

I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
it is.
is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
i wouldn't - at least not until i
mount the external
point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

I don't want to know how to delete duplicate photos anymore. I would like to know why Apple have not put in delete duplicate option menu in iPhoto? Very curious. Is it to frustrate users, so they have to go out and buy another apple photo product?

Just want to know why Apple have not made an options menu to remove duplicate photos in iPhoto? I know about downloads you can purchase to delete Dups, but I'm very interested to find out from apple themselves as to why they left this out, to die without knowing this is like having viruses on a pc or waiting for the web page to pop up on windows...
Option
A. Is it to annoy the user, to frustrate them enough to go out there and buy another apple photo product?
Or
B. Is it to annoy the user, to frustrate them enough to commit suicide, to reduce population in the world?
Is there a third reason? Can someone help me, otherwise I'll have to go with option B.

Since Apple is saying I have more than 5 authorized computers, and I can't imagine what they are, I am afraid to deauthorize all my computers. See what I mean? I just wanted to ask the question about how I can find out WHICH computers Apple thinks I have authorized, so I can decide if it's safe to deauthorize them all or not.
You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized.

How many times can i use the limited warranty on my Apple iPhone 5, I just broke mine after getting a brand new one. Also, can I extend my warranty?

If you purchased AppleCare + within 30 days of getting your iPhone 5 you are allowed 2 instances of breakage replacement with a $49 deductible. If you do not have AppleCare + accidental breakage is not covered under you warranty, you can do an out-of-warranty replacement for $229.

If I buy a Mac and iPad online, will I still be able to claim warranty at an Apple Authorized Service Provider?

If I buy a Mac and iPad online, will I still be able to claim warranty at an Apple Authorized Service Provider?
I am going to buy a Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display and iPad from www.topbuy.com.au . It's a legit website, but they say the items have topbuy warranties, not apple ones. They say I have to send off my faulty device to them, and they will fix it, but I don't want to do that. I just want to walk into an Apple store, tell them the problem and have a happy ending, like what's supposed to happen. Will I be able to do this?
Thanks

Apple warranty is good at any Apple service provider, AASP or store.
But you seem to be reaching far to defend that "it's a legit website", especially when they seem to be directing you from seeking certified Apple service.
As the saying goes: If it looks like a duck, and it sound like a duck, it's quackers to bypass an Apple store or Apple online to save a few $$. Well, something like that.
