AppleCare Protection Plan

Whether you own a Mac, iPod or iPhone, the AppleCare Protection Plan is always a must-have for your Apple device. The plan offers additional technical and phone support as well as global repair coverage. Illini Apple Center’s Knowledge Base is a full, certified service center for Macs.

Safeware Protection Plan

A Safeware Protection Plan is a comprehensive insurance program that will cover your laptop or desktop in the event that unforeseen physical damages occur (many of which are not covered by the standard warranty) at home, in the classroom or on the road. The plan provides coverage for theft, accidental damage, liquid spills, vandalism, power surge, lightning strike, flood, fire and more.

Time Machine

Don’t lose all of the hard work you’ve put into your Mac. Our variety of external hard drives, ranging from 250GB to 1TB in size, will help you to back up your files as you work. Used in conjunction with Apple's Time Machine software (pre-installed on every Mac with OSX 10.5 Leopard), your files will be safer and you won't even have to think about backing up.

Computer Lock

Theft is one of the most prevalent crimes on college campuses, so protect your computer when it’s at home by locking it to your desk. Locks come in a variety of sizes, and can use combinations or keys so that you are the only one who can take your Mac away with you. Illini Apple Center sells a variety of computer locks, so you can find one that fits your needs.
