Call apple and give them the serial number

It will activate the warranty when you first sync with itunes.

I've had that issue with the website with many things I've bought and registered with Apple.

The same products I find are still covered by warranty and Apple does actually know the purchase date. Only once I'd had to fix the coverage date by providing a copy of my receipt.

the website is crap

i bought a Nano in an Apple store. i tried to activate the AppleCare - it said it couldn't validate the serial number or something. i called up and did it over the phone with a customer service representative. he said the website is always having issues
