Apple Care support in UAE???

[SandyBear]

Hello.
I have an iMac and a macBook, both from 2008 with extended support with Apple Care. In the US service and support is provided with any kinds of problems under this plan, including a phone help line (1-800-apl-care).
I just tried to call the local service center here in Dubai, and after having been connected to 3 persons unwilling/unable to answer my specific question I gave up and am now waiting for AppleCare in US to open at 6 am PST.
So, my questions to you are;
1. Is the same or similar level of support available here in UAE under AppleCare, or is it basically just an extended hardware warranty?
2. Does anyone know how to print out the same photo many times on one page in iPhoto? The option is available in Print, Customize, Settings, Photos per Page, but does now seem to work?
Thanks and regards,
Sandy

After fiddling around, found one answer to 2.
Just printed as Contact sheet, then dragged the same photo to the print from the photo view.
Still curious what level of support Apple Care actually provides in UAE in comparison to the US???

For future, you're better off separating different issues in different threads, otherwise one runs the risk of not being answered.

About AppleCare, it doesn't give you any higher level of service, just longer protection under warranty. There is no phone help line for the UAE, which I think is very poor, but that's the way it is.

Ok, so an Apple product with Apple Care, in UAE, only exteneds the hardware warranty to 3 years?
And there is not even the free/included 90 days free support here, available in the US in connection with a purchase?
That is a bit dissapointing, but on the bright side, as Apple Care is global, you can always call one of these countries:
Apple - Support - Contacting Apple Support and Customer Service - Phone Contacts
And, yes, I agree it is better to split the questions up, in the relevant forums...
Thanks.

Yes.

No, that doesn't exist here. To be fair, most shops here, if you buy from them and have problems will do their best to do a bit of support.
