just wanted to check with the gurus ..

is there any particular requirement for purchasing applecare.. i.e. i have to purchase applecare on the day i purchase my macbook?

cos i see people selling applecare retail packs on ebay for quite reasonable prices..
can i purchase the macbook & purchase applecare separately?

Anytime within the one-year Apple hardware warranty.

I've found a US-based merchant on eBay selling ACPPs at a much cheaper price, but unfortunately they don't ship to Malaysia. sad.gif

nope. they'll give you an AppleCare Enrollment number. This number must either be processed through your local Apple Retail Partner or registered online at apple.com/register

well.. u dun have to buy the applecare on teh first dfay.. which is good
u can saveeeee until the last month of the warranty and buy

and i think it's applicable for ibook applcare for macbook
cos in their store, there's only 2 sets of prices for portables
mb pro & mb.. just like before...

anyway, ebay is worth a look

Dang, my ipod has gone bonkers... Cannot charge even though the battery is nearly empty, now that the battery is kosong, now cannot even switch on...

If i were to send the pod to Applecare for a check-up, how much will they charge? And is it the one in BSC?

Wow, not cheap also...

Anyway my iPod is fine already, the problem is because of a totally flat battery, which is why i had problems with the charging... Now its doing alright after a few hours of charging...

If we have applecare for iPod then is totally free of charge, rigth?

what if my iPod bought in singapore and I buy the apple care in local, will they entertain us?

Another scenario is I bought my iPod outside malaysia and apple care as well, can I bring it to the apple service center in malaysia?
