Apple Care

[Racingboy]

Last week I bought a iMac (still on it's way) and yesterday I got myself a Time Capsule on Black Friday in the online Apple Store.

I'm hesitating to buy also Apple Care for my iMac. If I buy it, does it also cover my Time Capsule? Take in mind that I don't ordered it at the same time.

Thx!

Yes, it will cover the Time Capsule.

Ok, thanks for the fast respons.

If I order it now, and it will come sooner than my iMac, will my extented waranty start runing when I receive the iMac or when I receive the Apple Care?

Apple Care extends the original one-year warranty on your machine from one year to three. The warranty starts on the ship date for the machine if I remember correctly (or, more to the point, it's relative to the purchase of the machine, rather than the purchase date of the AC).

...yep, only purchase date of the equipment - NOT from the purchase date of the warranty...

Backing up the Time Capsule is probably a good idea, they seem to be prone to not working after a certain period of time.

Hopefully you bought everything on your VISA and thus gain access to their extended warranty program as well..so applecare becomes 4 years basically (although the 4th year is handled by VISA)..

you can purchase applecare anytime in the next year

and places like LA computer Co sell it for far less than apple...

heres all the details, straight from apple (not sure why you didnt just look there first?)
