Update - Apple Changes Their Mind & Comes Through.!!

that is awesome that you can get a refund for a stolen mac / sold mac.

Apple redeemed themselves today by offering a credit on the unused portion of my applecare.. The individual I spoke with today couldn't have been nicer & seemed determined to see that I either was allowed to transfer the unused portion of my warranty or was issued a credit.. Apple, Thanks so much...!!!!:D
 
well, if you got it in the uk as part of the higher education scheme, you get a 3 year warrenty anyway.

i dont think many people know about this, if you are going to University in the uk and buy over the phone, they will try to sell you Applecare for around £60 when you dont even need it!

Check this out:

"10.1.1 All Apple-branded desktop and portable computer products shall be subject to a 36 calendar month warranty period commencing from the date of purchase (the date of your invoice)."??
 
The place i buy apple care thru is a apple reseller, he sends you a invoiceand the package I have never had a problem in the 2 times i used him...also why pay 350 when you can pay 179.00....many people here buy from him :)
 
Apple care

Hi guys,

My macbook was purchased September 20th of last year, so I guess I don't have much time left. Can you tell me what happens if you wait longer than a year? You just aren't eligible for applecare?

Thanks,

Ben

I bought Apple Care with my TiBook and it was a lifesaver when the hinges broke and needed to be replaced. In those models a hinge replacement was usually near to $1000, but Apple Care took care of it for me and replaced every thing that looked worn out, so that my three year old computer looked brand new when it was returned to me.
