Wait to 364th day then purchase Apple Care?

Hi all, I notice online, there is section where I can purchase Apple Care for 3 years cause i didnt already purchase it at the store.
My question is how long can i wait to purchase it..Can i wait till the 364th day to order it?

One thing AppleCare will get you in the meantime is no-charge support. You only get 90 days with the standard warranty.
And don't wait until the last day, at least not without checking the date Apple has for your Mac. Plug its serial number in here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
They'll have the ship date, not necessarily the date you took delivery.
And if you bought it from a 3rd party retailer, such as BestBuy, they'll have the date shipped to BestBuy. There's a procedure to change it, but you have to either take your receipt to an Apple store, or fax or email it to AppleCare.

  • Can i purchase apple care if i had my phone longer then  90 days

    can i purchase apple care after my 90 days have ended ?

    No. And, it's 30 days from date of purchase.

  • Can I purchase apple care for time capsule that is less than 90 days old?

    can I purchase apple care for time capsule that is less than 90 days old?

    Sure enough...
    The 90 day period basically applies for telephone support if you don't have Apple Care (a three year apple hardware/apple software coverage that would be similar to an extended warranty for your TV) with the outstanding feature that you have unlimited telephone support for the entire 3 year period beginning when your Mac was first purchased.
    Your situation is similar to mine: I bought my MBP this august and just (literally) bought the 2TB TC. So the three year period began when the Mac was purchased and will run out when the MBP reaches it's exact 3 year anniversary. I went 4 or 5 levels above the sales staff and reached an individual at Apple whose exact title is: Sales & Service Management Representive. The first question I asked was is my TC covered under Apple Care and for how long, etc.: as the TC (as well as the MBP) have only a limited1 year warranty without Apple Care.
    If you've been following the posts on this exact site and several others, you'll see many upon many TC's experience a premature death around 18-24 months. So IMHO I think Apple Care is a good deal: coverage for your Mac as well as the TC (double coverage).
    On a lighter note something like double your pleasure double your fun: Xerox your paycheck!
    cheers...

  • HT5691 Can i purchase apple care for iphone bought through verizon?

    Incorrect sir.
    After the 30 days YOU can still purchase Apple protection plan for $69, which extends your phone support just like AC+ and your hardware warranty just like AC+ it also gives you a a free battery replacement.
    The only difference between AC+ and Apple protection plan is that AC+ covers accidental damage.
    Customer who do not purchase AC+ or APP will then have to purchase a Pay-Per-Incident which is a $20 fee for each issue calling in on.
    Pay-Per-Incidents or PPI's last for 30 days on the one issue that they were purchased on.
    No, you cannot.
    An iPhone in the USA is eligible for AppleCare+ and ONLY AppleCare+.  AppleCare+ completely replaced AppleCare for iPhones when it was announced.  Check Apples own warranty pages on the web site.  You CANNOT buy AppleCare for an iPhone in the USA - ever.  It is not offered for iPhones any longer.

  • How long do i have to purchase apple care?

    How long after the purchase date do i have until i can no longer purchase apple care? Ive heard from people you have within the year and from others that its only 30 days after the purchasing date.

    The one year base warranty has to be still in effect when you activate AppleCare. Just don't cut it too close to the bone in case the activation process gets snagged.

  • Purchased iPad 2 last year, can I still purchase apple care?

    My iPad 2 is not yet past the 1 year warranty, can I still purchase Apple Care?

    You'll need to find a boxed retail version either at an Apple Store or online, but as long as you can find one, then yes, you can still register it and get coverage.
    You might even still be able to buy it online, as it seems to still come up as in stock on some stores?

  • If i buy an iPad from Amazon can I still purchase apple care?

    If i buy an iPad from Amazon can I still purchase apple care?

    How to get AppleCare+
    Purchase AppleCare+ together with your new iPad, and you'll be automatically registered in the plan. Add it to your shopping cart during the checkout process when you purchase your new iPad.
    Or buy it within 30 days of your iPad purchase:
    At an Apple Retail Store (if AppleCare+ is purchased separately from iPad, inspection of iPad and proof of purchase are required.)
    Or call (800) 275-2273 (requires you to run a remote diagnostic and provide proof of purchase)

  • Can I still purchase Apple Care for my old iPhone 4?

    When I got my iPhone 4 nearly a year ago, I was told that I could purchase Apple Care at any point in the first year to extend the warranty an extra year, etc. I was planning to do that today (I couldn't take the financial hit before it became necessary at the year's end), but I see now that with the iPhone 4S has come AppleCare+, which much be pruchased within 30 days after your phone purchase. As I have an older model, I don't see how this should apply to me—30 days had already come and gone before they came out with this new policy! So, my question is this: How can I purchase the original Apple Care extenstion for my older phone?

    You cannot purchase the extended warranty after the end of the standard one year warranty. You might find other companies that offer limited forms of extended warranties such as those offered for used cars.

    I just ordered new iPhones from Verizon. Can I purchase Apple Care on these since I didn't get them directly from Apple?

    Yes. See the information here, particularly the "Important Notes":

    Since you haven't yet taken delivery of the iPhones I'm not sure how Apple will handle it.

    There is a time limit on when you can purchase AppleCare. If you just purchased this phone take it to an Apple store. They will inspect the phone and advise you as to whether you can purchase apple care.

  • Purchasing Apple Care after original warrantee expires?

    Is there any possability to purchase Apple Care after the original 1 year warrantee expires? (mine expired in October 2005)
    Cheers,
    Awfers

    Unfortunately the AppleCare Protection Plan is only available for purchase WITHIN the first year of ownership.
    EDIT: An alternative may be to purchase an insurance policy - or you may be able to find a third-party extended warranty scheme.
