Yes, all Macs come with 1 year warranty, but only 90 days telephone support. So for the first 90 days they'll talk to you on the phone about trying to fix it, even if it is just you trying to figure out how to do something. After 90 days, you'd have to pay to talk to them, or just take it to a physical apple store (no charge during warranty to take it into real apple store), or if you call to talk after 90 days and it ends up hardware related, they refund the fee, and fix the computer obviously (ask you if you can take it to a store and if not and they determine it is hardware problem send you a box to send it in for repair usually). They just don't want to do free support on the telephone for *user* issues (like not knowing how to do stuff) after 90 days. However, the machine itself has a good 1 year warranty, and apple stores honor it, etc. You can also add 2 extra year of warranty and telephone support for 3 full years by purchasing extra apple care.

Hi!From what I have researched it seems as if the one year warranty that came with this device has expired and AppleCare is only valid for up to 2 years after the purchase date. Since my iPad mini was bought in 2013, both of these options are no longer valid. Let me know if you have any questions! Thank you!

Where does it say it is a 1 year warranty with Apple? I find it hard to believe Apple would provide warranty

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.

I gave it as a gift to my sweetheart, but we have all Apple stuff and warranties are included. However, I would contact Apple directly to be sure. He Loves it. Very versatile gadget.

You can buy applecare from Apple up to 364 days after your purchase which will extend your 1 year warranty another 2 years. I've done this with several of my Apple products. They will even contact you and let you know when your 1 year is about to end. It also gives you a chance to decide if you really want to keep your Mac, if so, then you can extend the warranty. You will not save any money by purchasing Applecare now; I prefer to wait to purchase applecare as to not increase the initial purchase price.

Yes it includes a one-year warranty. I had some issues setting up my iMac, even though it's set up my pussy very easily. HP support was really excellent and helping me figure it out.

You have 1 year to purchase. However, I would not let it go longer than 10 months (so you don't forget until after the warranty expires!) However, I would not buy it right way. I had a MacBook that was trouble almost from the get-go, and Apple finally gave up on repairs and replaced the whole thing for free. Since it was under the original warranty, I would have been out the money I paid for the non-transferable extended Apple Care warranty. I was able to wait 10 months and then, when the replacement proved trouble free, spend the money to extend the warranty.

Your apple care protection should start once you register it. I forget if starts after you limited warranty runs out. Either way I've found the extended warranty to be worth it because your other warranty is truly only limited. The apple care plan covers just about everything including replacement equipment, parts, or most of time damaged goods. The only thing is that it has to be bought within your limited warranty time frame.

According to information from my local Apple store & one of the Amazon sellers, for the refurbished pads, the 1 year Apple warranty starts when the I Pad was purchased from Apple by the reseller & the length of your warranty is what is left. Apple Care has to purchased within 30 days of the original purchase date - to be safe, I would ask the merchant

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.

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.

It is eligible for apple care until next march. It was only released earlier this year.

Yes if the former owner had AppleCare or another warranty that's currently in effect ... It's an older unit so it may have run out even if they had one initially . Mine runs out in April 2015. Good Luck!

I bought my plan for the 5c phone which came in handy yesterday because I needed a replacement screen which was over. I saved $150 on that repair. I would think though the apple care covers either my 5c or the 5s.

I bought this Macbook Air from an Amazon seller. The seller had a 5 year (I think) protection plan that he purchased for this "Air'. I have purchased Apple Protection plans for other Macs and recommend doing so. L. S.

It comes with Apple's standard 90 day telephone tech support after purchase and 1 year limited warranty. Since you're not buying from Apple directly, you can't sign up for AppleCare Protection Plan and AppleCare+ to extend service coverage.
