Good morning everyone.
My Macbook Pro 13 inch non-retina is coming up to a year next month.
Should I consider getting Apple Care for this product? As in, should I
sign up now or is it too late? Someone said one can sign up to Apple
Care at least a year after they purchased their Mac computer.
Good Friday morning all
Recently we have noticed an alarming increase in the number of posts to this
group which we are having to process because they are too large. This is
because people are being lazy and, once again, an item in the list policy is
being overlooked or forgotten. Because we
Hi Chris
I was told by a staff member at an Apple store that you can indeed sign up
for AppleCare within the year of the product purchase, but perhaps this
needs clarification from AppleCare themselves?

Hello Everyone.
Just an update.
Thanks to your advice, I have signed up to Apple Care for my Mcbook Pro
13 Inch.
I went for the plan that covers Macbook Air and 13 Inch Macbook Pro.
Well that's what the store says anyway.
Cost was £199 including Vat and delivery is free.

Hello everybody
Does anybody know whether it's possible to stop iTunes from downloading
duplicates of every item in our iTunes library? This has to be a bug, what
sense does it make to clutter up hard disk space with duplicates? They also
seem to show up in a playlist which brings me on to
I don't think Apple needs your product serial number for you to purchase
Apple Care. I think they know what purchases are associated with your Apple
ID Account.

Don't know why you're getting duplicates unless you are downloading from the
cloud and from your own physical music collection. I don't know if this can
be an issue, as I don't use iCloud just now. However, there is an option in
menus to show duplicates, so you can remove them, could

The apple ear buds will never be a stereo mic as it only has 1 mic. You would

Thanks, Gina.
My main reason for wanting to use numbers is to deal with one spreadsheet which
I have to issue each week. This requires that I change a few columns and
occasionally have to change the header at the top of the sheet. Apart from
this, I don't any longer need to use spreadsheets

I believe the command you want is option return. Go to the location bar first

Think of it as three years worth of insurance for your Apple computer or
mobile device as the case may be for the price of one. So yes it sounds
like a lot of dosh initially but if you do the maths you will find it
works out to about a third of that per year, about £70.
On 26/07/2013 13:51,
Actually for the mobile device it's only for 2 years which works, but it sucks.
as some of us have to keep our mobile devices for 3 years as that's how long
some contracts last. and you cannot extend your apple v care by 1 year should
you have a 3 year contract.
