AppleCare: 1-800-APL-CARE |
|
| |
|
Free 90-day phone support on all new Macs/1 year hardware support. AppleCare purchased within 1st year: 3 years free phone and hardware support. To find the status of your Mac’s warranty, here is the link. You will need the serial number, which is under the Apple Menu>About This Mac>More info. I strongly recommend buying AppleCare when buying a Mac, an iPhone, or an iPad (iPhone and iPad AppleCare is for 2 years, not 3). |

OS X – Upgrade Requirements |
|
| |
Apple’s stated minimum requirements for Panther (10.3), Tiger (10.4), Leopard (10.5), and Snow Leopard (10.6), are different. But none of them really don’t go as far as I think they should. <MORE> |
