Hi, You should still be able to get support from Apple. It is an Apple purchase, albeit from another vender, but the warranty, support and such is still by Apple. It is usually your serial number that determines whether warranty or support is available, not the vender from which you purchased the device.
Hope that makes sense. Later...

Because of issues I am encountering, especially at places like Paypal, I am considering getting an Apple device. With the major sales coming up in the next few days, I want some direction before i start hunting. Getting the silly question out of the way first, if I buy an apple product somewhere other than an Apple store, can I still experience support from an apple genus? i. e. I buy the item at Amazon instead, or in a best buy store? this is really really important, because I still *hope* I can get some in person training, or at least have the item configured for my needs by someone knowledgeable. I honor all the brilliance on this list, but I learn best with someone in the same room with me, especially where something totally new is concerned. I may have been on this list for well years, but this will be my first major major voiceover experience. Speaking personally I prefer to maximize my learning time, so I can put the item to use swiftly if that makes sense. Will ask my device questions in the next thread.
