Applecare on the MacBook

[one1]

I called Applecare today to see about adding my MacBook to the program. My MacBook is a 2.16 Rev C that is 18 months old according to coconut battery. They advised it had never had applecare on it (which I knew), but said it was not eligible to be added to the MacBook because it was not done before the original applecare expired. Was this always the case? Just curious. Semi-retarded that you can't purchase a MacBook used and add applecare to it.

Thanks 🙂

Applecare must be added within 1 year of original purchase. You can't add it after that. If you bought it used and added the Applecare within the first year, you wouldn't have had a problem.

You have one year to add applecare to it, that is when the original warranty expires. You could always see if you could add a BB warranty to it, or add it wherever you bought it from. However, most places will not allow you to add a warranty after the date of purchase

... apple care is a business and they won't let potential harmful sales of apple care hurt their business...

You break your apple computer, sell it to your friend for a buck so he can buy apple care and fix it for you... why would apple allow that to happen...
