AppleCare Protection Plans - Wrong info!


Recommended Posts

I have a friend who wanted to register her AppleCare for her PowerBook, but couldn't do so using Safari or Firefox (no sign in button, it seemed). So I decided to check my own AppleCare status and product registrations, at Apple.

I don't know what happened, but after using my OWN appleID and password, I logged in and was somehow presented with somebody else's information/contact details?

I went to:

http://www.asia.apple.com/support/registration/

Then,

http://serial.apple.com.au/app

Where I signed in using my own appleID. After signing in, it said:

"Hello, Colin Lam | help | logout"

(I am not Colin Lam, whoever he is).

I can see his personal info (address, etc) as well as:

Your current agreements

Agreement Type Agreement Number

90 DAYS PHONE SUPPORT ********

90 DAYS PHONE SUPPORT ********

90 DAYS PHONE SUPPORT ********

90 DAYS PHONE SUPPORT ********

90 DAYS PHONE SUPPORT ********

APP - IPOD ************

I myself own an iPod, but I REALLY don't think I paid for all of those 90 day telephone support AppleCare protections... (because I am not seeing my OWN information, but some other guys?).

What's going on? Database mix-up? I want my OWN information! See the attachment. :whistle:

Update

Apparently, those 90 day phone supports are actually for me! I have purchased a couple of iPod shuffles this year (maybe not 5) but I do own my own iPod with AppleCare and have purchased a few more this year - although I did NOT register any of them under my own AppleID, they were purchased for friends/family.

I used Internet Explorer and the problem seemed to have disappeared, with my name instead of Colins. Strange... :laugh:

Nobody uses my computer but me. Saved passwords is not on. I've logged in and out as myself but on Firefox, it shows up as a different name (I don't know that guy) but when I use Internet Explorer, it works fine. :woot:

Martog, thanks! I realised that it was my previous 2x iPods and 3x iPod Shuffles that I had ordered for friends and family, so that makes sense.

    • My son is in Monaco right now, and I was checking his location in Apple's Find My app. I noticed that Prince Albert's Palace was blurred out on the satellite imagery in both Find My and Apple Maps. I checked Google Maps, and the palace wasn't blurred there. Does Apple have some kind of process where property owners can request that their homes be blurred on Apple Maps?
    • No, it was THAT ugly and I’d rather forget it completely existed.
    • There is a lot of reasons not to use Edge but faster fixes and security updates is not one of them.
    • Can't reproduce. I installed Edge, went to neowin.net > accepted the cookie consent > used menu to go to forums, everything loads and I can browse around the forums. If you can't interact with the dialog on the forums for some reason, go to the main site and accept the cookie consent there? It is true that the site will not function properly until the cookie consent is accepted or rejected,. it's a legal requirement and I also know that certain VPN/ad blockers block it, which is a user related issue and not a neowin.net problem.   This is not our cookie consent dialog. Gotta love browser hijacking... /s Edit: this may be what Californians see, I will confirm with our consent provider.
