What do I need to do to get Applecare+ or to Transfer it?

So, I'll be getting a Macbook Pro second hand from craigslist where I live (Vancouver), very soon. I checked the serial number of the Macbook someone was selling and it says there is warranty until August 10, 2014, and that the macbook is eligible for applecare+. I know that the person has to factory reset the Macbook and install the original OSx that came with the Macbook since downloaded OS is not transferable. I was wondering, if I were to get applecare+ on the Macbook, what would I need?
Second question is, another Macbook pro I am looking at currently, I looked up the serial number and it has Applecare+ on it until October of 2015. What steps do I need to take to transfer the Applecare+ over to my name?

All you will need to do is buy AppleCare before the original one year warranty expires. You can buy it online from Apple or take the computer to one of the local Apple stores such as Simply Computers. All you need is the computer's serial number and model ID.
Only the seller can make a transfer of AppleCare to a new owner. This involves the seller removing the computer from his list of registered products so that you can add it to yours: Your Support Profile for Registered Purchases.
Remember that AppleCare is tied to the computer, not to the owner of the computer.

  • I have chg my apple I'd, but it hasn't chg when I try to update my apps, what do I need to do to get it chg on the pop up screen that ask for your password?

    I have changed my ID, but when I go to update my apps my old ID is still there, I have verified my new ID and signed in using it but still showing on app update sign in which is stopping me from getting update, what do I need to do to get it to change?

    Did you create a new account or did you update your existing account ? If you updated your existing account then logging out and back in on the iPad usually 'refreshes' the account on it. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

  • HT5271 I just updated OSX 10.7.4 and now Safari won't load - what do I need to do to get Safari working again?

    I just updated my operating system to OSX 10.7.4.  Now Safari won't load.
    I ran disc utilities and it still wont load.  It tells me that Safari quit unexpectedly and gives me the option to submit a report of to re-open.
    I have tried to find an updated Safari online but only find 5.1.7 updates for Windows.
    What do I need to do to get Safari back?

    Updating to Safari 6 for Lion may help.
    Click here >  Safari Quits Every Time Opened: Apple Support Communities
    Then click the link posted by:  gregoryfromcork
    That will automatically download this file >  Safari6Lion.pkg.download
    Now quit Safari.
    Go to your Downloads folder and double click that file and follow the instructions for installing.
    Then restart your Mac, try Safari.
    There are no Safari 5.1.7 for Mac standalone downloads available 

  • Hi... I've had my IPhone 4S since January 13, and it doesn't have the option to use it as a wifi hotspot? When all my friends iphones do. Is there a way to install in onto my phone? Or what do I need to do to get it??

    Whether you can use your phone in this way is entirely the responsibility of your phone company/carrier.  You need to contact them to see if you can add tethering to your phone plan.  Be warned though that it could get rather expensive, so if you don't really need it, then do without, but in any instance, you need to contact your phone carrier.

    Hi RadarCat16,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it can be frustrating when you are waiting for content to download to your iPhone from the iTunes Store. There are a few steps I would recommend in this situation. Please read over and follow the steps in the attached article.
    iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
    If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • What do you need to do to get your pictures back after you just restored your phone? it says "downloading" but wont give me any of my pictures back that i took awhile ago

    what do you need to do to get your pictures that you took awhile ago back on your iphone 4s after you just restored your phone it? it says "downloading" but wont give me any of my pictures back that i took awhile ago. I backed everythign up at the apple store while the person who helped me watched me do it. i have 1,796 pictures i took before i restored my phone, but it wont let me see them. it just says "downoading" and i will be devestated if all of my pictures are gone. please help me!

    You would have received a prompt telling you that you didn't have sufficient space to beck up your phone if that was the case.  Also, not everything on your phone is stored in the backup so you wouldn't need 11.7GB to back it up.  You can see the size of your backup by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your phone under Backups and look under Options.
    If it says "downloading" it's probably still downloading your pictures from iCoud.  Check Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup at the bottom to see the status of the restore process.

    About 3 years old...pretty dated now I guess.  Am thinking I may just need to have it upgraded by a Mac tech.
    For what the Apple Store's charge you can buy almost buy a new computer.
    Just for giggles I brought my old laptop in for a drive upgrade and asked, they wanted $600 for a drive that only cost $120 at the time and it was a slow 5,400 RPM drive. The new Mac's of a similar make were going for $1000.
    I did the drive replacement myself, got a faster drive of better quality for $300 instead.
    Then another time I asked for a RAM upgrade from 4GB to 8GB, they wanted to charge $400 + $35 for the labor.
    The same RAM is on Crucial.com for $90 and all I need is a 00 micro phillips screwdriver.
    So you see what's going on here.
    I think what you should do, if your out of warranty/AppleCare, is to call up the local PC tech guy who also does Mac's and have them fix you right up.
    They can offer more personalized care which you need. Clone your old drive to the new and everything.
    With Apple they are overworked at the Genius Bar and just place roadblocks so you buy a new machine instead.
    For instance, all new iMac's now have proprietary drive software installed on the hard drives for heat monitoring. So now the only choice a user has is to bring their iMac into a Apple Store for a very expensive drive upgrade, which a person then decides the money is better spent buying a new machine.

  • HT201232 My operating system is Mac OS X 10.6.8 and when I'm surfing the web, it tells me I need to update my browser however when I check for updates, nothing comes up. What do I need to do to get Mac OS X Lion v10.7?

    My operating system is Mac OS X 10.6.8 and when I'm surfing the web, it tells me I need to update my browser however when I check for updates, nothing comes up. What do I need to do to get Mac OS X Lion v10.7?

    Software update will only bring you up to the current level of the system you are using - you are at the maximum for Snow Leopard. To get Lion or higher you will have to go to the Mac App Store in Applications and purchase it there (Yosemite is free). You will need to check that your Mac meets the requirements and you should particularly note that PPC programs such as AppleWorks will not run in Lion or above.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Yosemite (10.10.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion and Yosemite are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
      and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Yosemite is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). Mountain Lion can be obtained the Online Apple Store. (Mavericks is no longer available.)
    If the problem is only with Safari and you are otherwise happy with Snow Leopard you could switch to FireFox (free) - the latest version of that will run in Snow Leopard.

    I installed iWork11 but the '09 versions of the software are still running--and the default. What do I need to do to get the '11 versions working?

    It's very simple. If you want to use iPhoto, just let it manage things as it does. Other than that: Export from iPhoto and delete the image from iPhoto. That will remove the master and all versions.
    If space is an issue... use an external disk.
    Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

    Contact Adobe sales or Adobe Customer Service.
    You would have to upgrade to CS6 for Mac as a "cross-grade" or platform swap.
    They will not allow you to simply swap for CS5 Mac, because CS5 is no longer sold or supported.
    You can either upgrade to CS6 Mac by way of platform swap for some $200, or you can join the Cash Cow subscription mode.

    This forum is for pre-2006 iMacs and Apple Stores will no longer work on computers that old. You will need to find an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP). They ofter work on computers older than Apple can service in there company facilities.
    Find an AASP here:

    However, if you describe your symptoms, it may be something we can help you with here. When you post back PLEASE post your iMac model and the Mac OS version. Otherwise we won't be able to help you.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
