    If your warranty expired 2 months ago, you can't really buy the Apple Care anymore. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this one, but as far as I know:

    You have the option to buy Apple Care within the first year of purchase.

    Just as a side note, please try to use proper spelling and grammar. Not to sound like a , but it took me a while to understand what you wrote there...

    when you buy a mac, you get a 1yr warranty and 90 days of telephone support.

    you have 1 year from your purchase date to get applecare.

    I didn't have too much trouble deciphering it. If don't put any effort into making your posts readable, it kind of says you don't care.

    My point exactly.
    Also, English is not my first language.

    Once the original one year limited warranty runs out you can not buy apple care anymore. So you will have to pay the full price for the repair or just use it like that. Applecare is only purchasble within 1 year of your original purchase date.

    That is correct, you can't get AppleCare anymore. However, go ahead and try to go to the Apple Store and share your concerns with the staff. This is a documented problem, so in fact they may offer coverage of it beyond the 1-year limited warranty. The most they can do is apologize and say they can't help you!
