Thanks. I bought an iPad from an authorized retail store (Samys) and am wondering whether it makes sense to buy AppleCare for the iPad to give it an extra year of warranty. I wonder if Amazon is an authorized retail store for that purpose, as is required? (There's an Apple Store in the area for the required inspection.)AppleCare Protection Plan for iPad (NEWEST VERSION)

Amazon is an authorized reseller. We got the free Lion upgrade for the laptop we purchased during the Kindle special offer.

You should check with apple, i also got tiger installed, but the leopard os was on the small black box, after their announcement they should be shipping with it and you shouldnt have to pay not even 10 dollars for that

I send the Mac with OSX Mavericks. Amazon does not let Sellers Update Specifications on All Amazon Listings. I cannot speak for Other Sellers. The Finest Macbooks - http://www.amazon.com/shops/A38OB0VFIV6QC4/ref=aag_d_sh

WOW i just noticed that, its the only reason I didn't go ahead and place my order, can anyone confirm this? i get free shipping here and no tax, but apple wants to charge me tax, so i came to amazon, but i don't want to wait a month.

N. Bird, you are correct, according to an Apple rep who I spoke with on 12/2 after posting my reply to the original post. The other thing is, my customer sales person from Apple was able to offer me a 6% discount on the spot when I told them of the $50 differential between Amazon's price and theirs. I know!! Her response: "Yeah, not enough people ask for a discount when they call, but they should!" All told, with tax (from both the Apple store AND Amazon), I'd have saved $2 by buying from Amazon... Not worth it! I'm buying my iMac direct from Apple for peace of mind.

I contacted customer service about this and was given a bogus answer about them doing an upgrade. I kept telling the representative that this had nothing to do with an upgrade because there were numerous other people stating they could not order in California and that the posts go back to 2013. She apologized and reiterated her made up answer to try again in a couple of hours after the upgrade was done. Probably the worst customer service experience I've ever had with Amazon! I contacted another rep who seemed to be knowledgable enough not to feed me bogus answers but he also could not place the order for me or give me any details about why I wouldn't be able to order this. Seems crazy! I contacted customer service about this and was given a bogus answer about them doing an upgrade.

Mine was sealed and exactly the same as if I picked it up at the Apple Store. Amazon is an Apple authorized reseller.

Upon purchasing my computer, the specs show "Mac OS X v10.5.6" as my OS. So, I am wondering if there is some information that is screwed up. All I know is my computer came with Snow Leopard on it, and I upgraded it to Mavericks. Let me find the seller of my Mac. I will forward that information to you. They may be able to help you better than I. Upon searching for the seller of my computer, I didn't seem to locate anything other than their name: The Mac Toy Store. I am pretty sure you can Google the name and find their contact information. They were super helpful throughout my purchase. Good luck!!!

If it is purchased from amazon it is eligible for apple care, as for external/secondary sellers on amazon I am not sure.

I would think that the next iMac shipment from Apple to all of it's re-sellers would include Leopard installed since they are available that way now at the Apple Store (and have been so awhile I believe). I've got a 24 incher on order too and am more concerned about that $100 rebate from Amazon which apparently expires next Monday 12/3. Amazon says it may be 3-5 weeks until this this model ships. I'm hoping they will show up a little early...like this week, before this rebate expires. Otherwise I may cancel and wait until after the first of the year to re-order.

Amazon is not getting away with it, it's one of their partner sellers. Do you know and can you tell the difference? It's not difficult. How can people continue to not understand what they are looking at when you look at a product page and it says "Ships from and sold by C4DEALZ?" Is that Amazon? No, it's not, it's C4DEALZ. When you buy here you will notice that some will say "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com", others will say "Ships from and sold by *some 3rd party seller*" and others will say "Sold by *some 3rd party seller* and Fulfilled by Amazon." The case with this at the moment is that Amazon apparently has no stock and our thoughtful friends at C4DEALZ see the opportunity to jack up the price by $100 or so and make money off the uninformed, especially in this case because even at that price it's less than buying 3 separate upgrades. Get informed. First clue, outrageous prices gouging the customer (for which Amazon actually should remove the seller as a partner) and you won't see it being available for Free SuperSaver shipping since only Amazon sold or fulfilled items are. In my case I have a gift certificate I'd like to use toward the purchase so I'm rather irritated they don't have stock but I'm not stupid enough to pay C4DEALZ gouging prices, or anyone's for that matter. Now I see that "The Toy Giant" has joined the parade of gouging sellers. They should all go on lists of sellers that we will never ever purchase from. Jeff Bezos shouldn't be allowing it, it reflects directly on Amazon.

Not sure, it would depend on when they got there stock in. If you want it shipped with Leopard you need to go through the Apple store or someone that you can ask. I know all ours are shipping with Leopard. You could call Amazon and ask again, Good Luck

Choose "Find Offers" from the menu in the upper left-hand corner.3. Enter your order number and the e-mail address associated withyour Amazon.com account and press the "Continue" button.

I got mine on Black Friday. I saw the price and my eyes almost popped out of my head. I couldn't order it fast enough! Keep an eye out, you never know when the price might drop again. Even at this price it's still cheaper than any other reseller I've seen or even the Apple Store is. I live in Texas and I have no sales tax when purchasing from Amazon which is a added plus!

For Apple to provide warranty as "new" product, must be brand new from an authorized apple reseller and you must provide them copy of the invoice that it was a new apple. I had to go through a lot of paperwork....phonecall....& Help Desk to get this pulled off.
