I have a mac mini that's out of warranty period, but I'd like to purchase procare to be able to get better at FCE. Will they allow me to purchase it even though I dont have applecare?
Got a tip for us?

Do you need AppleCare to purchase procare?

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question but am giving this a bump since I would like to know as well.
Looks to me that AppleCare is not a prerequisite to purchasing a Pro Care card.

Well the OP was a two part question, the title which asked "Do you need AppleCare to purchase procare" and the actual question in the body, "Will they allow me to purchase it even though I don't have applecare?"
So you can allow for some confusion to what the "No" pertains to. While Mech's intentions was probably never to provide an answer with no explanation wouldn't you agree that some elaboration is order?
Yes, you can be a ProCare member even if you don't own a Mac! You can enroll in ProCare at any time and renew it for as long as you would like, regardless the age or warranty status of your Mac.
So as long as you are a ProCare member, your Macs are under warranty?
Does that mean I can buy a Mac Pro and a 10 year ProCare subscription, and have my MP covered for 10 years?

No. Procare allows a variety of benefits to the PERSON at an Apple store. It does not imply any type of hardware warranty. You do not need Applecare to purchase ProCare, conversely, purchasing ProCare does NOT warrant any Apple hardware you may own.
Hope that helps!

thanks yall...this basically means that even if you dont even OWN a mac you can get procare....good business move IMO b/c if you dont own one but like the service enough I suspect you'd purchase a computer anyway
I had my first procare session today and it went flawlessly. I learned more in 1 hour than I did in a month two years ago when I was trying to use FCP. I learned some FCE tricks and basics.
My Procare person was great and very helpful. I felt like it was my hour and mine only-very minimal distractions and I am excited for my next appointment.
For anyone interested in procare I'd recommend it....if you learn better with a "tutor".
