    Service & Support


    Service
    iMac is covered under the Apple One-Year Limited Product Warranty.

    Consumers can take their iMac to the nearest Apple Authorized Service Provider for service. On site service for iMac is also available for an additional fee. To locate the nearest Apple Authorized Service Provider, visit the Find A Service Provider web page


    Technical Support

    The first place to visit is Apple's iMac Support page at: http://www.apple.com/support/imac

    The iMac Support page has links to the most asked questions, discussion boards where you can post a question and get answers from Apple and fellow iMac owners and even send feedback to Apple on how to improve the iMac Support page.

    Apple offers US customers ninety (90) days of complimentary support of Apple-branded products from the date of purchase.

    After their 90 days of product eligibility have expired, customers will be offered a list of alternative support options, including the option of purchasing an AppleCare SupportLine contract. To find out about AppleCare SupportLine contracts and other fee-based options, visit our Support Options Web page at: http://www.apple.com/support/products/overview.html

    Third-Party Software Support
