Transferring Applecare from one machine to another: is it possible?

[alskdj]

Hi guys,
I have Applecare registered with an aluminium macbook which was purchased this year Feb. The applecare itself was not purchased then, it was purchased in August. Just got a Macbook Pro 13" though, and have decided to sell the macbook. Is it possible to transfer the Applecare to the new machine? Since the 2 year parts warranty hasn't started yet, and the technical support has only been active for 4 months

Yep, I'm pretty sure it's possible since the year warranty isn't up yet. I know someone who was able to take the Applecare off of his Black MacBook and get a refund. Just give Applecare a call and explain your situation.

I don't know if a transfer I possible, but you can call AppleCare and cancel the plan for a prorated refund (full, since it's not in effect yet) and you can purchase a new plan for your new computer.

mm thing is there was a fault with logic board, which resulted in it getting replaced. Thing is, due to this, I had to call Apple many times out of the 'complimentary' 90 day period. Does the value of these phone calls deduct from the pro-rata amount, even though they were to do with a warrantable fault?

Maybe... no one knows. It might depend on the rep you speak with, it might not. Give them a call and explain the situation.

You can not transfer AppleCare to anther computer, only another user. As said, you can get a pro-rated refund. And it will be pro-rated as the telephone support portion started already.
