TIPS & TRICKS: AppleCare Support Page

Been administering Macs for quite some time. In the past, to view all the machines I manage under one Apple ID I used this page:

http://www.apple.com/support/applecare/view

However, today I learned about a tool I had not encountered before:

http://supportprofile.apple.com

This page is different than the page I've used in the past. It also seems to give me more information than than the old page and more ways to manage the information.

One important note to mention is these two sites are two completely different sites. Information on one site does not necessarily show up on the other as I found out in attempting to register a custom MacBook Air with Auto-Enrolled AppleCare that was purchased from an Apple Authorized Reseller. I had to get on the phone with AppleCare Agreement Administration in order to address this disparity. I assume Apple is in a transition between these two sites. Until they get past the transition, I would recommend making sure that the information for all your machines show up in both areas.

Hope this helps you. Happy computing.
