What to do if I don't have my proof of purchase for AppleCare, but I am registered?
Hey, I am wondering what will happen if I need service and don't have my receipt? The AppleCare coverage checker page where you type your serial number, says I have coverage until March 27, 2015. I do not have any proof of purchase, as it got lost in a move. I am just curious if I can get around that part, as long as my serial number is registered and says I'm covered? Has anyone had this problem and gotten around it? Right now I posted another thread about my MacBook Pro being locked up with that circle with a slash through it thing, so I may need the Apple Care. Thanks...
Hi LudwigZildjian,
It sounds as if you are concerned about the AppleCare coverage you purchased for your MacBook Pro. You can check that Apple has a record of your support coverage by entering your serial number in ths form on this page -
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
You can find the serial number using the steps on this page -
Find the serial number of your Apple hardware product - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Will I still be able to send my iPhone 5S for repair even if I don't have its proof of purchase?
Yesterday, I got a problem with my iPhone 5S. When I updated it to iOS 8.1, it restarted along with the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). When it rebooted, it stuck in recovery mode, and when I want to restore it, it won't. It will display the status bar that it's restoring the firmware and when it reached halfway, it will turn blue screen then reboot and back again to the recovery mode. I contacted apple for this and they suggested to have my device for repair because it's a hardware problem.
So the real problem is, I've forgotten my receipt where did I put it. So now I don't have the proof of purchase for my iPhone. Can I present the original iPhone Box as a proof of purchase instead of the receipt? Please help me for this, I really need to fix my phone ASAP and I don't know if I would be able to send to apple knowing that I don't have its proof of purchase.
P.S. How long will it take for Apple to fix my device?
Thank you!Apple doesn't repair iPhones, other than some stores being able to replace the screen for a fee. They replace it with another of the same capacity, color, etc, as the one you have.
You should be able to get an Out of Warranty replacement for $269 USD. Bring it to an Apple store and they can tell you for sure.

Migrated Aperture 3 upgrade from old Mac Book Pro to new Mac Book Pro. Can't open Aperture on new machine because I don't have the original serial number for Aperture 2 program originally installed on the old machine. What is the best solution to this situation
Call Apple and make a appointment.
You have 3 months of care and up to 3 years with paid AppleCare, let them handle it and bring everything in.
Good Luck -
How can I create a new TC backup with ethernet, so I don't have to wait two days for a new wireless backup?
Several times in the last year, I've gotten a message that Time Machine needs to completely redo my backup. Using the wireless connection, this takes almost two days. Is there a way to do the backup with ethernet and then switch back to wireless? Thanks.May I know what is needed to make sure the MacBook is able to see Time Capsule on ethernet?
Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the 2Wire gateway to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the Time Capsule.
If AirPort Utility cannot "see" the Time Capsule now, you will need to perform a "hard reset" by holding in the reset button for 7-8 seconds or so and then reconfigure the Time Capsule. You can use the same Time Capsule name and password, etc. as before.
Configure the Time Capsule to "Create a wireless network" and select the Bridge Mode option when it appears during the setup using AirPort Utility.
Once the Time Capsule is configured, restart the entire network again. Power down everything, start the 2Wire first and then start each other device after that one at a time about a minute apart.
Now you can connect your Mac directly to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule for the backup using another Ethernet cable. In general, about 20-25 GB per hour will transfer.
The Time Capsule will broadcast a much faster wireless network than the 2Wire can provide, so you might want to leave the setup "as is" for awhile after the first backup is complete. If you decide to use the Time Capsule as your main wireless access point, you would want to turn the wireless off on the 2Wire since two wireless networks in close proximity can create interference problems.
Or, if you want to use the wireless on the 2Wire, you could turn off the wireless on the Time Capsule. Then backups will occur over the 2Wire wireless, or over Ethernet.
I don't really recommend the "Join a wireless network" setting on the Time Capsule for most users, but you could go back to that setup as well if you want after the first backup is complete. -

I have an iPhone 4 that I just updated today to ios 6, now when I go to back up the phone to my PC, it says it can't because I don't have the latest version of iTunes. But i have iTunes 10. Please advise.
There is an updated version number 10.7.0.21 that is available if you go to the iTunes link here on Apple.com. It won't show up under Apple Software Update and if you check for updates via iTunes it likely won't show either.

I don't have a good good disc for the mac box set can i get it with it my serial no.
I don't have a good good disc for the mac box set can i get it with it my box number?
If this is a new box you just bought ad the disk is bad, Apple will replace it for you. OTOH, if you have lost the disk or it has become damaged over time, that is your responsibility, and though I don't speak for Apple, I'd be very surprised if you had any option other than buying another copy.

I did try to uninstall and reinstall. It messed up my computer. I had to "RESTORE" from the prior days backup. This was not helpful at all.

Do I have to buy Acrobat before I can get Adobe Reader? I have an ID and password for Adobe, but when I try to download Adobe Reader it asks me for a password I don't have.

You do. Your system is either Windows or Mac (or maybe a couple of other less popular choices) and a version of one or the other.
When you set up your machine, you were asked for an administrator user name and password. You need both of these to install software. -
Why won't my pandora work when I'm not on wifi? I have the cellular data on for it but I never works. Also pandora isn't the only app of mine that does that.. What's wrong with it??
You're welcome.
Voicemail is left at your carrier's server. That will continue to work unless you report your iPhone as lost or stolen with your carrier.
You may never find it again and you can't if the iPhone remains offline or out of service which means the iPhone is powered off or doesn't have cellular reception. -

I don't have safari on my ipad, restored it but it still isn't there
i don't have safari on my ipad, restored it but it still isn't there
Not possible to delete any of the apps included with iOS.
If you have Restrictions enabled on your iPad, check if Safari is turned on as a restriction which will prevent the app from appearing.
If not, the app has been moved. Double check every home page within every folder. -
I don't have any type of insurance for my new iPhone 5. I bought it on Friday, December 7, 2012
I don't have any type of insurance for my new iPhone 5. I bought it on Friday, December 7, 2012. Will I be able to exchange it for a new charger?
You can purchase AppleCare+ for your iPhone, but you must do within a month of purchasing it.
http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
If something is wrong with it, Apple will either fix it or replace it under warranty. You do not have to purchase any "insurance" for that. -

Can i have a seperate icoud account for backup , but use my families apple id ?
can i have a seperate icoud account for backup , but use my families apple id ?
if the backup is being done from a seperate device, it will show up in the icloud settings as a different backup.
lets say your sister has an iphone backed up to icloud and so do you. you just got a new ipad and you want to download all the stuff on you phone to it, no problem. it would come up as a seperate backup.
