I ordered apple care with my MBP, I was expecting a box with stuff etc, but because I ordered it online does Apple register it for Apple care automatically or should I get in contact with them about it?
Usually you have to register it yourself. I've never seen where its done for you. You can go to www.apple.com/support and then scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. Put in your serial # and it will say when your warranty coverage runs out.
You should have a box that says AppleCare on it with the enrollment #. Typically you need to register the AppleCare enrollment # with the serial # of your MBP. I would call Apple and see what is going on.
