Are you over seas?

Here in the US:

"Every Mac comes with complimentary telephone technical support within  
90 days of your Mac purchase — perfect for questions about setting up  
your Mac, using the Mac OS, and more. In addition, your Mac and all  
included accessories are covered against defects for one year from the  
original purchase date by a limited hardware warranty."

Applecare doesn't come into play (other than for phone support) until  
the first year is up.
