    Series 0 SS AppleCare Express Replacement

    Hello, so I just filed for an express replacement through AppleCare for my Series O stainless steel 38 mm Apple Watch, and I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of replacement I would be receiving? I asked the rep if what I would be getting would have the same sapphire crystal face and...

    Will upgrading the storage of my MBP void my warranty?

    I have a Mid-2015 (15-inch) MBP that I got from Best Buy with 256GB. I also got Geek Squad and Apple Care. I have been looking to upgrade my storage (but might also have a shop do it). I was wondering if upgrading will void my warranty. Please help

    iPhone X will not add Apple Pay

    Got my shiny new iPhone X yesterday. Transferred everything across from my iPhone 7 Plus. Everything was fine until I tried to add Apple Pay and saw the message Card not Added. Contact your card issuer for more information. From memory, this has initially happened with every device I have...

    Slight regret... sorta

    This just occurred to me. I switched from AT&T's next plan to Apple's Upgrade program. They both more or less are the same critter. The advantage of Apple's program (unless I'm confused which is definitely possible) is Apple's Upgrade customers get preferential treatment for the upgrades...

    My experience- Another 27” power issue

    For the past 2 months I’ve been experiencing intermittent shutdown issues with my iMac 27” from mid 2015 which is still covered by Apple Care. It first started when I noticed that my Mac kept powering off while I was away from it. Gradually as time went on (3weeks) id notice my Mac was turned...

All of a sudden my hard drive starts making a loud clicking noise and then after several minutes the device completely shuts off.

    Buying iMac from Apple vs regular computer shop?

    Hi, whats up? I was wondering if buying an iMac from Apple directly has any benefits? Like Apple Care maybe? The store that Id like to purchase from offers different guarantee options. 2,3,4 or 5 years of Apple guarantee. But is a guarantee or care package included when purchasing from...

    Is Apple Care necessary?

    I will be purchasing a new iMac 27" and a new MacBook. I have always bought it in the past, and felt it necessary for a laptop, but will a desktop need Apple Care?

    I bought my MacBook Pro 2016 with Touch Bar about 5 months ago and suddenly it has a crack on the lcd. The MacBook Pro was sitting on a desk under my supervision and nothing was on top or around the laptop. There was also nothing stuck in between. There is no sign of external damage as proved by...

    Apple Care for 2016 12" MacBook - Worth It?

    Well I can't believe I almost have my 2016 12" MacBook a year already. Clock is ticking to make a decision on Apple Care. From your experience, is it worth it? I'd be paying $349 NZD for 2 more years of warranty. It's a good safety net to have I guess, but then it doesn't cover accidental...

    iPhone 7 from Reseller and Apple Care

    There are no Apple stores here in Thailand. There is an Apple online store, but I don't have a Thai credit /debit card or Thai Apple ID. Only my UK account and card. If I buy an Iphone 7 from an Apple reseller when they supposedly arrive later this month, would I still be able to buy Apple Care...

    So after owning my Apple Watch for about 5 months and wearing it everyday it got caught in a car door and suffered some pretty gnarly scratches. I have Apple Care so I ended up sucking it up paying the $72 with tax and having it sent in to be repaired/replaced. My repair status update now says...

    Apple Care??

    I purchased a 2015 Macbook Pro with Retina display last August and I am now debating whether to get the extra 2 year warranty. Any advice is welcome!! Also, I found Apple Care on Amazon for $50 less than directly from Apple. How does aftermarket purchase/license transfer work?? Thanks, Kyle
