Source-derived summary

One to One was a fee-based service for private training at Apple retail stores. A US$99 one-year membership with purchase of a new Mac allows the user to receive a year's worth of Mac, iPhone, iPod, and iPad instruction. The only restriction is that users can only book one each of the three types of sessions that are included with the One to One program at a time. The three session types are a 30- or 60-minute Personal Training session, where the individual is taught by an Apple employee, a 90-minute Group Training where an Apple employee leads a group of people on a particular topic, and a 90-minute Open Training session where the customer is able to work on their own project in a group and ask for assistance as needed. The sessions offer instruction in the following topics: Getting Started on Your Mac, Getting Started on Your iPad, Getting Started on Your iPhone, iCloud, Mail Contacts & Calendars, iPhoto, GarageBand, iMovie, iTunes, Pages, Keynote, Numbers, Aperture, Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Logic Pro.

Originally this service was part of ProCare, but on May 2, 2007, was severed and became its own separate US$99 service. Existing ProCare members were given One to One memberships for the remainder of their ProCare subscription.

Apple's One to One service was officially retired in 2015, with the final renewals ending on December 17.

The account is most persuasive where Apple, computer and training can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as computer training program. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 24, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q3352693. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2007 and 2015.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
