Frequently Asked Questions
Can I purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan anytime?

You can purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan anytime within the one-year limited warranty period. Your eligibility for coverage under the AppleCare Protection Plan starts from your hardware purchase date. Apple strongly recommends that you purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan when you purchase your Apple product to maximize the additional benefits provided under the plan.
What service options does the AppleCare Protection Plan offer?
Apple may provide service through one or more of the following options: carry-in service (to Apple retail stores or Apple Authorized Service Providers), direct mail-in service, onsite service (for desktop computers), or Do-It-Yourself (DIY) parts (so you can service your own product).
What does "global repair coverage" mean?
If you take your Apple hardware with you when you travel and happen to need repair service, the AppleCare Protection Plan offers global repair coverage. You can either go to an Apple retail store or contact Apple for information on how to obtain service. Service will be limited to the options available in the country where service is requested. Service options, parts availability, and response time vary according to country. Please see the AppleCare Protection Plan Terms and Conditions for complete details.
When I purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan, do I need to register it?
If you purchase your AppleCare Protection Plan and your covered product separately or elsewhere, you will need to register your AppleCare Protection Plan. Your AppleCare Protection Plan coverage starts from your hardware purchase date. Registering your AppleCare Protection Plan at a later date does not extend your coverage.

5 out of 5 stars Very fast!   August 16, 2010
Erica S.
I bought this directly from Amazon just the weekend before my warranty ran up. I ended up getting 1-day shipping from Amazon for $3.99! Either that or shipping was free. Amazon kept me updated on my order with tracking and my AppleCare box came just in time. I registered the code provided on Apple.com and not even 2 minutes later did I get my confirmation through email! I will definitely do this again in the future, it was so simple! And Apple registration is extremely quick.

P.S. It doesn't matter if your AppleCare is purchased through Amazon, it's still the same product received from Apple itself as they are an authorized reseller as shown here on the list: [...]



5 out of 5 stars Easy as pie.   July 6, 2010

Ordered the apple care from Amazon at a significant cost savings had I purchased it direct from Apple. Got free shipping to boot. Once it arrived, stuck the disk in, followed the directions, input my serial number of my computer, and the code from the apple care and viola! Done! Easy as that! Will also be buying my apple care for my new iPhone 4 from Amazon in the near future.


5 out of 5 stars A must for every iMac user   May 24, 2010

Apple Care is a must for every iMac user. And at Amazon you can buy it at a better price. That's it.

NO PROBLEM YET. All's fine. But really, how can I rate something that I've yet to use?
