Apple has determined that certain Seagate 1TB hard drives used in 21.5-inch and 27-inch iMac systems may fail. These systems were sold between October 2009 and July 2011.

Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) will replace affected hard drives free of charge.

Apple is contacting affected iMac owners who provided a valid email address during the product registration process to let them know about this program. If you have not been contacted, but think you have a 1TB Seagate hard drive, you can enter your serial number here to see if it”s part of this program.

It is recommended to have this hard drive replaced as soon as possible.

What do I need to bring?
We suggest bringing the iMac, Power Cable and original box for easy and safe transport. We do not need your keyboard or mouse.

Data Backup

Before bringing in your iMac please backup your data. Apple has a list of options for backup here.

Additional Info

If you believe you have paid for a repair or replacement due to this issue, contact Apple regarding a refund.

This worldwide Apple program does not extend the standard warranty coverage of the iMac.

The program covers affected iMacs for three years after the first retail sale of the unit or until April 12, 2013, whichever provides longer coverage for you.
