AppleCare Protection Plan for iPod nano 1G, 2G, 3G; iPod shuffle 1G, 2G Reviews
I had no problems registering. This is an awesome product at a good price. I think this is the cheapest place you can get it.
Apple Care is a required addition to anything Apple, both for peace of mind and just in case; when I've have needed it they have come through with "flying colors".
I have a high regard for Apple and their care plans. I have had Apple protection plans for my imac and emac in the past and when I had problems, it was replaced easily and for free. I did not find any problems registering and hopefully won't have to use to repair.
I had no problem registering the iPod on line, even though I bought it from Amazon. etc. The registration does require filling out an online form and choosing an "Apple ID", but the defaults are set NOT to send any advertising emails. I did have an opportunity to use the AppleCare warranty about a year after buying my Nano (battery didn't hold charge). The box came in 2 days, and the Nano was returned within a week.
My experience isn't unique; Consumer Reports regularly lists AppleCare as the best tech support in the electronics industry. I can't tell whether it was the same unit or a refurb, but it was in pristine condition. The telephone call did take about 12 minutes on hold (daytime hours), but the tech rep offered either to send me a return box (free shipping), or I could take the Nano to an Apple store and exchange it. My closest Apple store is a tank of gas, so I exchanged by mail.
Amazon's price for the AppleCare Protection plans was GREAT. Seems that even though the serial number displayed on the screen and etched onto the back of the unit matched each other, neither one of those matched the one on the Apple invoice. Let's hope I NEVER have to call Apple to actually utilize one of them. For one iPod, I actually had to fax them my receipt because the item had been on the SELLER'S shelf for over 90 days and Apple had to verify that I had actually purchased it legally. APPLE's registration process was NOT. Both produced error messages and I had to call Apple directly. I could NOT register either iPod online.
I know this entire process was set up to prevent theft/bootlegging, however it is just annoying and time consuming for me, the true purchaser. For the other iPod, I purchased it DIRECTLY FROM APPLE as a refurbished unit, and I STILL had to call them to register it. I bought (2) iPod Nano's, and (2) AppleCare Protection plans. Both calls lasted at LEAST 20 minutes each.
