I purchased my mac in 2012, if I buy this now will the insurance be available? And does it cover logic board failures and all that?

AppleCare is only valid if you activate within 1 year after initial purchase. Otherwise it's useless.

This is what I know. I purchased my MBP end of 2012. The AppleCare program has to be purchased during the first year in order to extend coverage. I did purchase it and had to have the board that the thunderbolt sockets attache to. The Apple store gave me a cost to repair. It would have cost me 500.00 (parts and labor) I paid nothing. I am buying my daughters the 13 inch MBP and purchased two AppleCare protection programs for them. Wish I could have good news maybe someone else can do more for you.

No, for timing reason. The Apple Care is to cover your Mac from the date of purchase (2012) Year 1 through Year 3. Since you have standard 1-year coverage, you can buy this Apple Care plan anytime within standard 1-year (2012). That time has lapsed, so this is useless for you 2012 Mac. Basically you are trying to insurance after the fact, this never works. You can't auto insurance after the car accident.

Well Brian, I am not really sure, but I think Apple gives a waranty of 1 years to any product when you buy it. But you have to show them the purchase receipt. I did not purchase any kind of apple care.As I said I'm not sure.Good luckDebora

One year of Apple coverage is included with 90 days of telephone tech support. However, I strongly recommend buying the Apple Care warranty which gives you a total of three years coverage and the 90 days phone tech support becomes three years of phone and all other support. I have enjoyed calling or going to the Apple Store to speak to the Genius staff whenever I've had questions, problems, just to download something in high speed, take free classes or just to get my computer looked at to make sure all is well. Had my MB Pro for three years. Tip, get a new battery on your last year of the warranty. I did. Hope this is helpful. One year of Apple coverage is included with 90 days of telephone tech support.

You get 1 year coverage when you purchase. You can purchase Apple Care afterwards to extended the warranty by 3 years for about $300

Please check if you still have original Apple warranty left by going to Apple's website. https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do . If you do have some warranty left, you can add Applecare to your Macbook Pro.

I think that there is a time frame that you have to purchase the AppleCare. If your Mac is still under factory warranty, I think you are good. I would check with Apple before purchasing.

Yes the warranty is from apple and they are very good on the phone. Applecare is available for the Mac Pro from apple. Doug

haha go ahead and vent :)If I were you I would just wait. But dont buy the AppleCare for your 80gig. Just use it till it dies and isnt covered by warranty, and get whichever new one comes out. However next time check out macrumors and they have a buying guide, it shows you the past "update" history of the various mac products and gives you a small bit of advice on wether to buy or not. I'm going to stick with my 30gb for now too. Maybe give it to a family memeber later and buy a new one later :)

I registered the computer when I started it directly with Apple on the date I received the computer so the date will differ from person to person. It came with a one year warranty just like a new one and I have been very happy with the product, no problems at all. I hoped that helped!!

it comes with a standard like factory warranty i believe it's good for a year or 90 days after the original purchase but you can purchase applecare which is your best bet if your truly worried about it breaking. but Apple care doesn't come cheap i believe it's an additional $200. hope this helps :)

I'm not sure, we got offered some other in insurance. I would call apple and ask first just to be sure.

Unless they have made change you have to purchase AppleCare at the same time as you purchase the computer. You could check on Apples Website, I have not checked in a while, so I am not certain of the exact rules.

The kit did not work for me. I ended up damaging the delicate logic board. There was an expensive repair which cost almost as much as a new Mac Mini. It looked easy on YouTube videos. In reality upgrading is not easy.

Hi Mark, this plan covers mechanical failure, accidental damage, and any necessary data recovery from a covered failure - the 2 year warranty does not include data recovery, which could be a very big deal. Hope this helps. Thanks

I ran this set of modules in my 2011 Macbook Pro 17" for just over a year, and one of them just recently failed. I would not further recommend them, just buy the OWC ones with a better warranty.

If you buy it new it should come with the normal Apple warranty (The MacBook Pro comes with 90 days of free telephone support and a 1-year limited warranty) if you buy it used you will probably need to buy your own AppleCare Protection Plan (which can be extended to 3 years).

I have no idea unless the person bought it and it trying to sell it separately. Ask apple if they will allow you touse the warranty for the specific product you are buying. AppleCare is specific to an item when originally purchased
