Extend your coverage to three years of service and expert telephone technical support. | One Number to Call for Help

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.

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.

 AppleCare is great, but buying it from Amazon isn't so great July 21, 2007
55 out of 63 found this review helpful
If you buy AppleCare from Amazon (or anyone other than Apple itself), you cannot register it fully online. The online form won't take the serial number, and tells you that you have to call Apple. When you do, they tell you that they will not process your registration until you fax them a copy of your receipt. They explicitly said to me "if you bought it from Apple, we would not require this".
 AppleCare's "3 Year" Protection February 1, 2007
28 out of 55 found this review helpful
I purchased this warranty almost a year ago thinking I had purchased an actual 3 year extended warranty that would start at the point when Apple's one year warranty would expire. That's how it was described to me at more than one Apple retail store, so be sure you read the agreement and understand that: 1) you are actually paying for only 2 year service warranty added onto your standard one year manufacturer warranty. By including your standard one year warranty that every buyer receives into the AppleCare agreement, they can call it a "3 year" extended warranty!
2) AppleCare extends phone support for "up to 3 years" after the standard 90 day support ends. Again, what this actually means is the extended warranty you pay for amounts to 2 years, 9 month of additional phone support. Now that $300 price seems even more out of line, given the fact that the time you get an extended warranty for service (the expensive stuff) is much less than for phone support. Yes, its all in the agreement, but if you're being pressured at the store to buy it you might not understand the terms. It's a slick way of packaging a warranty to make it sound like you're getting more for your money than you really are. My low rating is for this issue, I don't like it when companies play these marketing games with consumers. Call the product what it really is-a 2 year extended warranty!
 NOT ACTUAL 3 YEAR WARRENTY May 26, 2007
27 out of 34 found this review helpful
It was great to now that I could get such comprehensive protection for my new Macbook. The great thing I was able to get it 50 bucks cheaper on Amazon. However, I do feel that calling it a 3 year protection plan is very misleading in that it counts the 1st year of ownership in the 3 years. Therefore, it is actually a two year extended warrenty, go figure?. I still don't get it, but its still worth it to get the coverage due to the fact that anything and everything does happen to these delicate electronics.
 Beware - this is not insurance . . . September 14, 2007

Both of my children have MacBooks for school and have been told that AppleCare is void once there are any dents or other indications that the MacBook may have been dropped. My daughter brought her MacBook in for a drive problem and was told she would have to leave it there for several days so she decided to wait. Then, when she brought it back for the repair she was told it was not covered because it "looked like" the computer had been dropped. The service is fine for software problems, but the chance that a college student's laptop will be in pristine condition after a year is pretty low, so next time I'll save my money.
You Need This!!! January 23, 2007

Mac's are wonderful computers. But, not everyone is flawless, and
it's possible you'll come across a situation you can't deal with.
I've been using Mac's since 1993 and I've had to get help from
tech help over the years. Less in recent years as I learn more and
more about the OS and the machine, but their help is always invaluable,
The quality of the tech help is great, very patient.
