I am currently looking to sell my US iMac in Germany where I have been living for the past 2 years. Is it possible to take the Applecare I have on it and transfer it to a German? I know that I can get service overseas on my mac, but I'm not sure if I sell it to another national whether or not they can get service.
Got a tip for us?

I bought an iBook and AppleCare in the USA. The iBook was damaged before I registered the AppleCare but I ws recently able to activate the AppleCare in the UK on a MacBook. I think the AppleCare is country agnostic.
