errrrrm..apple store-or online! What product are you buying applecare for? bearing in mind it has to be bought at the time you buy the goods.

Have they changed this then? I was told I could buy it any time up to the end of the first year guarantee.

No, I got it wrong. Apologies for that. From apple's website:

The AppleCare Protection Plan can be purchased only while your Mac is still covered under the standard one-year limited warranty. See AppleCare Protection Plan Terms and Conditions for complete product details.

That is for the imac cover plan.

Just to let you know my experiences.
I used to buy my Applecare from ebay. Last time I did Apple wanted proof that I had bought it from an Apple registered dealer, as in an invoice from them proving I had bought it legit.
The person I spoke to from Apple said that there were a lot of counterfeits on the market and it was costing them money so only official Applecare was being honoured.
Luckily for me the ebay seller refunded my money without any hassle.

It's up to you but beware Apple could ask for proof of purchase and if it not forthcoming you could be in deep trouble.
