When can you purchase AppleCare?

"We recommend that you purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan when you purchase your Apple system to take maximum advantage of the coverage the plan provides."
Out of curiosity, does this imply that you must purchase AppleCare before the 90 day complementary support goes out? Or can you buy it after 90 days has gone out?

You can purchase Applecare anytime during the systems 1 year warranty. The advantage of buying it in the first 90 days, is that no charge telephone support is provided with Applecare from day 91 on through the end of the coverage.

  • Can you purchase iMatch for an iPod classic?

    Can you purchase iMatch for and iPod Classic? It doesn't make that clear when reading the advertisement for the service.
    Thanks for your help!

    The iTunes Match service is attached to your iTunes library, not the device itself. Hopefully the tracks on your device are also all in your library, and the backup of it, however iTunes Match might still be an additional backup and remote access service if it suits your needs. It has more use to owners of iOS devices who can download any of their matched tracks from iCloud to their device on demand.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Although I agree pretty much with what you say, since there is no unlocked phone yet announced, we don't know which of the three models Apple may make available unlocked.

  • Can I purchase Applecare?

    Can I purchase AppleCare on a refurbished iPhone 5 through Groupon.com? Here's an email that I sent them asking a couple questions and here's their response.
    Q: What does it mean by refurbished? Are there visible marks on the phones from being used? Can we purchase Apple Care after we get the phone? Do they come with all accessories and the box? Thank You!
    A: Refurbished electronics are products which have most often been returned to the manufacturer because it was unwanted or had some minor or superficial defect. Refurbished products are generally bench tested and certified by the authorized service centers of the company and then re-packaged and labeled as a Refurbished Product. It is refurbished immaculately to A+ stock with fewer than 1-2 hairline non-noticeable scratches.  We do not have Applecar available, this would be a question for Apple directly. Yes, all the accessories come in the box.

    I believe the entire question is going to rest on where exactly these are coming from and who refurbished them.
    If you read the answer carefully, there is no indication that these were actually refurbished by Apple.
    My cynical pessimistic self immediately interprets this to mean that these were refurbished by a 3rd party and Apple had no involvement at all, meaning they are not eligible for any warranty coverage or AppleCare/AppleCare+ from Apple. If they were opened or parts were replaced by someone other than Apple, Apple won't even touch them for out of warranty service.
    Not being able to see the original listing/description makes it impossible to judge whether this is or is not the case, but I suspect I'm correct.

    You can if you do not live in Florida, apparently. I called this morning to add AppleCare+ and after giving my info (explaining that the Apple Store is 50 miles (at least) from me, I was going strong until she realized that I live in Florida. Apparently, some moron in the FL State Legislature got a bill passed to "protect" senior citizens and you can't buy things like AppleCare+ online or over the phone!! You have to do it in person. Seriously?!? I'm a senior citizen and I knew exactly what I was trying to buy.........she even had to read the description even though I told her I knew all about AppleCare+. As my husband said, "If you're smart enough to go online and pre-order, and set up an iPad, surely you are capable of making a warranty purchase!!!!!!
    I even tried calling the Verizon store here, since I bought a VZ version, and even they can't sell it!! Going to Orlando from the beach during Spring Break and Snowbird Season will take up most of a day.......all to spend $99. I may just skip it and keep my fingers crossed that I never need it in a year from now.

  • How can you purchase additional cloud storage without using account credit?

    How can you purchase additional cloud storage without using account credit? Want credit to remain on accounts as it was a gift for my daughter and we haven't finished using it yet but need to purchase additional storage for all of our accounts. Can't I just override the automatic payment from the account and just pay with a separate cc?

    Purchasing additional storage will not use account credit anyway.  It gets directly charged to your credit card, and you must use a credit card since it is an annual subscription service you are purchasing, not a one time payment option.  They insist on a credit card so they have a billable account for the automatic annual subscription fee.  At least it was that way when I did it.
    Sorry - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4874  either I did not have enough credit at the time or something has changed since I did it?  Maybe call Apple and do it over the phone (explain why you want to do it that way)?

  • Can you purchase and iPhone at an apple retail store

    cAn you purchase an iPhone at an apple retail store?

    Yes, they will hand you the box after you pay for it and offer to set it up for you. If you are buying it in another country make sure that they sell you an UNLOCKED iPhone and keep in mind the warranty is not international, if you need service you will have to return to the country where you bought it.

  • HT1657 Once you have watched a rented movie can you purchase it?

    I don't think this is possible at the moment, but once you have watched a rented movie, can you purchase that movie less the rental cost if it's still on your hard drive?
    If it were possible Apple would probably sell more movies.

    No discount is available.
