How do I transfer a MacBook's Warranty?

I just bought a Macbook 13, it has some cracks in the palm rest and the battery doesn't charge. Its under warranty until July, so I want to get it transfered to me. I wrote up a receipt, so I have the original owners name. How do I transfer the warranty?

The only other thread I found about this: http://forum.notebookreview.com/apple-mac-os-x/458453-registration-warrenty-issues.html

 

Do you mean transferring AppleCare from the original owner to you? If so, here's the text from my AppleCare agreement WRT transfers:

 

Darn, he's the original owner, but it was a present from his grandmother, and I doubt she still has the receipt.

 

I called Apple today, I gave them the original owners name and they transfered it into my name.

The rep I spoke to said I didn't need to transfer the ownership to utilize the warranty.

 

I just called them up, gave them the serial and my phone number (it was in the registry form) and then they transfered it to my friend when I asked.

 

AFAIK, The warranty follows the laptop, not the owner.

 

I had no problems transferring the warranty to myself. I simply called Apple Support and provided them with the necessary information to transfer the warranty to me. There was no complex process for it. I think it was just the SN, my info and the previous owners info.

 

i had no problems transfering my warraty from my macbook pro 17 inch. i just called aple and they did it for me over the phone.
