Was not getting Apple Care for my new MBP retina a bad thing?

I recently bought a MBP retina, and I didn't get the apple care because it sorta went over my budget. I mean, I don't bring my computer around too much...
Isn't there a one year warranty that is already included in the price of the MBP??

You have 1 year from date of purchase to add AppleCare (but assume you will need all of that last week, just in case, to avoid missing it by just 1 day).
Some people wait to save the money for 11 months, while others buy it immediately to have no lapse in telephone spport.

If I get apple care for my iphone 4...

Hi there, if I get apple care for my iphone 4 (next up to be discontinued) and it breaks within the 2 year coverage and after it is discontinued what will happen?
Will I be reimbursed, given a refurbished phone, a newer model etc. etc.

Apple replaces devices like for like. For example, they no longer sell iPhone 3GS's but if you had one serviced right now it would be replaced by the exact same model.

Worth getting apple care for the Retina model?

Is it worth geting apple care for the Retina models? have read they can be dodgy...
Since I will have a one year warrenty could I just skip out on apple care untill a month before the warrenty expires as the warrenty will cover all my needs?

From the sounds of it, the Retina 2012 model is so not worth it. I assume that the 2012 retina model is almost like a testing ground to build on future retina models so there will be a lot of bugs to sort out... i assume such bugs like program capabilities with retina will be sorted out by the time the 2013 model comes around?
Have to agree completely with that.
If I was in the market for a new Mac it certainly would not be one of the Retina models. Way to expense for what you get and then there are all the problems with it.
You know I've been doing my work and having fun on computer for over 20 years and never needed a screen like the Retina to actually get things done and make some money.

Can i still get apple care for my macbook pro 13 inch?

I purchased the macbook pro 13 inch at the apple store on july of 2009. I opted to not get the apple care and now i kind of want it. Can i still get the apple care even if the macbook pro was purchased two years ago?
also how long will the apple care last?
and so if i take in my macbook pro with a problem and it requires repair the apple care will cover that and i wont have to pay as much as i would without the apple care?

Sorry, no. Apple-care must be purchased within the first year of ownership.

Should I get Microsoft office for my new MBP?

I ordered my MPB 13" online and added iWork. It was much cheaper than Microsoft Office and looked nice and fancy Should I get Microsoft Office too? I had it on my old laptop (not a mac).
I'm a university student so I am unsure if iWork will be as compatable with lecture ppts and notes etc.
Any suggestions?

It may depend on what your major is, but iwork should be an excellent program for your use at college. I've used both Microsoft office and iWork for years. iWork is much more intuitive than MS office and is less $. You can save documents from iWork in MS office format. I've heard there are some advanced features in MS office that iWork doesn't have, but I've never needed them in my professional use.
You might try iWork and see how it works and if you need to get MS office in the future it's pretty inexpensive since you are a student.
Good luck.

Why my apple care for iphone doesn't transfer to my new phone after I claim a new one from apple store ?

2 days ago my iphone fall into a sink full of water. Yesterday I went to apple store and ask for apple care for iphone and they have it. So, I bought it and registered it right away since my iphone still be in a garentee and still not surpass one year usage. Then they told me that my iphone problem considered in a "physical damage case" which they have a policy for claiming a new iphone and pay some fee. After I got my new iphone, they said that all the information and phone data which is registered into apple system about the phone and the user and bla bla bla will transfer to my new iphone. Today, I just check my phone serial number in "support & coverage " column and I found that all the phone data in apple system is already transfered from the old one to the new one EXCEPT the data of apple care that I already registered before I claimed the new phone. Now, the question is " What can I do ? " and " will it be transferd to my new iphone or I have to buy a new apple care for my NEW PHONE That I got from their service "

Placing your iPhone in the toilet was the correct thing to do but you should have purchased an android phone instead. That would have solved these issues. :-)

HT4528 does apple care for iphone cover theft?

I am trying to decide whether to get apple care for new iphone or verizon insurance for my daughter. I am most worried about breakage, but she is traveling this summer so a little concerned about theft?
Also for breakage which plan is better?

AppleCare plus is an enhanced warranty which will extend the warranty and phone support to 2 years, cover manufacturing defects and allow for two out-of-warranty replacements due to breakage, water damge, etc. for a $49 deductible. It does not cover theft or loss.

Apple Care for Iphone 5

Please advice on how to contact Apple Malaysia online or by email as I couldn't find any direct contact link on their website.

My ipod 4 has apple care for 1 year i just got it can i get a new one because it broke and i pay for the apple care can i get a newe one

my ipod 4g has the apple care for 1 year can you get a new one for it because something happen to it the mirrer broke yes or no

AIf the iPod broke because of a defect then yes, Apple will replace the iPod if it is within the warranty period. A broken/cracked screen is not covered. However, sometimes if you make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store they will exchange your iPod at no cost if it has a broken/cracked screen.

AC Power Cord -- how not to get Apple Care replacement - is there a written policy?

I had a cord about 8 years ago that was replaced by Apple Care (it no longer charged the old Mac Powerbook).
Well, my power cord a few laptops on (my present MacBook Pro 2011) needed to be replaced (the connection at the end where the cord meets the body appeared worn -- maybe I streched it out or kinked it too much). And so I checked here and googled other forums to see if I could take it into the Genius Bar rather than deal with Apple Care on the phone. It appeared from the discussions here and elsewhere that Powercords were sometimes replaceable, and sometimes not.
The Genius bar refused to replace it. I'm not upset because, as a temporary measure, where the cord was worn, I opened up the insulation to see if I could adjust the wiring to get the to work. Tweaking it did get it to charge for another few days (work deadlines!) until I could get to the Genius Bar. But it's probably because I opened up the insulation that they balked at replacement.
So it goes.
But I do wish Apple Care would've covered it. It's not super expensive but in this crummy economy, every little bit helps.
Maybe it depends upon the luck of the draw: who you get to accept (or reject) the return? Or is this thing warranted only in a "discretionary manner"? Is there a written policy?
I guess I could try to go through Apple Care on the phone, but I'd have to send my old cord back from what I can tell, and then might get charged for the new one?
Anyway: just a recommendation: if you're cord is on the fritz, don't tamper with it to try to get it to work: you might endanger your chances of getting an Apple Care replacement.

It really depends on how you treat the objects you own. If you kink/bend/twist the MageSafe end of the AC charger what do you expect. There are no kinks or bends or twists in my AC charger and it is 16 months old and wrapped up almost daily to be put in my bag.

I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen. How can I make the sound alert work?

I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen. How can I make the sound alert work?

I have had this same problem for weeks now with my 4S. I just got a new 5S after being extremely frustrated and the same thing - no sounds. After searching posts all over, I couldn't find a solution. I just told my friend of the issue and he asked "Do you have the Do Not Distrub on?" I didn't even know such a function existed. Upon looking that was exactly the issue.
To resolve, go to Settings> Do Not Disturb> Manual. If it is green, turn it off. You will now get phone calls and text alerts.
This functionality is also on your quick access utility menu (slide up menu). I assume this is how it was enabled on my phone.
I will post on other sites since I searched for weeks for this solution and didn't see it anywhere. Good luck!

Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
*[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If that works post back for further advice.
Next step, if safe mode did not work.
First: Try a clean install, (you have had a none standard version installed previously) that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
See
* this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
Second: try a New Profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
* this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
**[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default
