Why has the price of apple care for MBP retina increased?

A couple of weeks ago I'm so sure it was quoted as approx $250, now it is $429! I'm looking at the 2.3 gHz model and using the Australian website both times... My main concern is has the price increased because there are alot of problems with the MBP retina?

250 is for Air & 13" models
350 for 15-17" and Retina
Just where are you seeing 429. Post a link.

What Apple Care for MBP Retina 15" Mid 2012 ?

Sorry for this dumb posting, but there are existing two different apple cares when i search for it:
Item Numbers: MD013D/A or MF218D/A.
Maybe someone could help me and say what worked for him. I have an MBP 15" Mid 2012 with Retina (short back after a repair - got 8 dead pixels...).
Thanks for your help!

You are referencing German versions? I am not familiar with those part numbers. In the US, the current appropriate Applecare part number is MD012LL/A for your machine; however, I have seen (and purchased) the older version of Applecare for a Mac if it was offered at a lower price. Whenever a new Mac is introduced, the Applecare product numbers are updated, but there may be third party sellers which still have the older product in stock. In any case, as long as your part numbers are both for the appropriate machine and say "Applecare for 15" MBP, etc", it should be fine.
Having said all that, the question comes up: if your machine was purchased in 2012, your one year warranty has expired and you can only purchase and register Applecare during the original warranty period.

Why has the "Job" movie been loading for the past 3 days? I have a 10Mb Uverse Internet connection.

It should not take more than 4 hr. Is there any indication it is making process? i.e. When you click on it to play do you get a message like "Will be avialable in 2hr 34 min"? Is that time changing? I would cancel the download. Restart ATV and then retry. If it goes more than 4hr then there is an issue.
As another option you can always download the movie to your computer and use the iTuens menus to play it from your computer under the Computers icon.

Why has the same album been paid for twice??

Hi
Can someone point me in the right direction re iTunes store and an album purchase I've now seemingly paid for twice?
It seems my daughter has downloaded the same album twice on two separate devices (iPhone 5c and iMac), both logged into the same iTunes account, and I've paid for it twice!! Nothing against Ed Sheeran but come on Apple....the same Apple ID on both devices and I've paid for the album twice now??
Thanks to the community in advance of your help.
Graeme

If it's the same version of the album that you've been charged for (e.g. the album doesn't have 'standard' and 'deluxe' versions which she's bought) then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
Or you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If she wants to redownload purchases then what she can redownload for free will show in the Purchased tabs in the iTunes, App Store and iBooks apps on her phone, and the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on her Mac's iTunes

Why is the price difference of apple products in different countries? For example in UAE price is different as compared to Germany?

Why is the price difference of apple products in different countries? For example in UAE price is different as compared to Germany?
MacBook Pro with retina price in US is USD1299 and same product price in Germany is 1299 Euro. Why???

Obviously all the answers up here are true.. but I think that was not the real meaning behind the question.
Every country has different currencies that not only convert differently to others but have a different and relative value for the inhabitants. For example although Forex says 1,3$ = 1€ for the average European and American 1$=1€.. that means that roughly inside your country what you buy inUS for 1$ you get in Europe for 1€ (ex: McDonalds hamburger).
Also each country has it's own taxes, different renting prices (for apple store), different VAT, etc...
But the real question is. Is Apple NEUTRAL to market conditions?
This means... does Apple adapt their margin on products to local conditions or not?
To make it simple... Let's say Apple ... everything considered... gets 100$ for an iPhone sold in US... Will Apple fix their price in other countries so that, after paying local taxes, local costs, etc... still.. for each iPhone they earn 100$ ??
Or they have different market strategies such as rising the prices in countries where people are richer and more likely to buy iPhones even if "overcharged"? Or on the other side.. do they lower prices in poor countries (obviously not under production cost) to help locals buy in Iphone?
I think that Apple is doing their best to stay neutral to the market.. that is... We want 100$ at the end of the day.. whatever...
So we have paradoxes because in some countries iPhone costs more while in these countries people earn less (and I think this is not random.. but happens because.. usually.. countries with more regulations and taxes are also countries with lower wages... but that's politics!)
Here is a small comparison of iPhone 6 (16 Gb version) prices:
USA 550€........................ Average GDP per person 51.704 $ (calculated with California sales tax)
Switzerland 629 €............ Average GDP per person 44.864$
United Kingdom 687€....... Average GDP per person 36.569 $
Gerany 699€.................... Average GDP per person 38.666 $
France 709€................... Average GDP per person 35.295 $
Italy 729€........................Average GDP per person 29.812 $
As you can see Apple seems not to care about living conditions in the country or about average wages etc.. they just have their price adjusted to local regulations and taxes. Europe has 2years warranty service for items sold in Apple Stores (and 1 for items sold in other stores where Apple is responsible only for the first year). We also have some other taxes... For example, here in Italy, we have a tax on hard drives (goes by the Gbyte) that affects any multimedia product. Tax is meant to finance artists whom you are supposedly "stealing" by having unauthorised copies on your portable device... (I know.. is ridiculous). Etc...

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.

Can I buy an Apple care for a second hand machine which has recently expired its service coverage

can I buy an Apple care for a second hand machine which has recently expired its service coverage

While I don't know about the second hand machine consideration, Applecare needs to be bought during the first year while standard warranty coverage is in effect. Once that expires, you can't buy Applecare for a system.

Does the apple care for iphone 3gs cover water damage?

does the apple care + for iphone 3gs cover water damage?

No. Terms of the warranty call that "abuse".
You can hope, and try:
Turn it off, leave it off
Put it in a pile of "dessicant packs" (shipping packs found in hard disk boxes), possibly in a plastic bag (NOT rice -- that has rice-dust which gets into the unit)
Maybe try turning it on again in about 4-5 days
But this is really a desperation move, and I would not do it myself (although others say they have tried it).
Most likely you are paying for either a repair or a new unit.

Is apple care for iphone limited for the country you've purchased?

Is apple care for iphone limited for the country you've purchased?

I believe it is international.
Each product has a different AppleCare Agreement and different conditions.
For the iPhone there are online several AppleCare manuals in different languages. May be they are just translations but may be each different language/country give different rules.
Anyway if you buy in a country and register Applecare in that country you recive your actual Manual and rules to follow. If you need assistence you can call your serivce number or start the request online. Apple will decide according to the problem and your location how to procede: you may go to a service center, or send the item to the adress Apple will provide to you, or Apple can send you parts to repair it yourselve.
This should not be limited to a country.

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. :-)

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.

Why apple authorized dealer does not maintain the conditions that apple provides for guarantees?

why apple authorized dealer does not maintain the conditions that apple provides for guarantees?

Since we have no idea what specifically you are talking about, we cannot provide useful comments nor advice. If you have a problem with your iPhone, you need to take it to Apple or an authorized iPhone service center. Most resellers are not authorized to service the iPhone. If you'll tell us what country you're in, we can guide you to appropriate service resources. Note that the warranty on an iPhone is valid only in the country in which the iPhone was originally sold. If you are in a different country, your warranty will not be honored there.
If that's not what you are referring to, please explain.
Regards.
