How to see how much time left on Applecare?

I have an Applecare agreement, but no Idea how long I've had it for. Is there any way to find out when it expires?

PMG5 Quad, Mac OS X (10.4.10), iPod Shuffle 512

At the bottom of Apple's support page, you'll see a form field to enter your computer's serial number. It's under a heading called "About Your Support Coverage". This should tell you when your AppleCare expires.

Thanks. Doesn't tell me the expiry date, but it does tell me the Mac's purchase date. Do you know if the Applecare runs for 3 years from date of purchase of the Mac, or date of purchase of the Applecare?

Thanks, I found that already. It shows that I have a valid Applecare agreement, but not when it expires.

Three years from the purchase of the hardware. You have up to one year to purchase the AppleCare after you buy the hardware, but the expiration is the same.

I know that when I've checked on my AppleCare status through that page that it does show the expiration date.

Have you registered your AppleCare? That's required for it to be active.

Yes, it's definitely activated because I've had to use it once before.

I just checked on mine through the link I gave you earlier. It looks like they've changed it to only show the date of purchase.
