Contact Apple Host for a research purpose

Hello the Apple Host,
I am a postgraduate student at Old Dominion University and currently working on a research focusing on online forums/discussion boards. I plan to conduct a study in Apple Discussions. I need to contact Apple Host to see if Apple can accommodate my request.
Thanks

Just remember any research you perform here may be skewed by certain facts:
1. The vast majority of users come in here if they have complaints or issues with their machines, and not just to rave about Apple products, and/or to help those with issues.
2. Some users may be logged in under multiple names making an issue look more prevalent than it is reality.
3. Updates invariably appear to cause consternation every time they are released, but in the end it turns out to be user lack of knowledge or preparedness that triggers the majority of issues as my FAQ* explains:
http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
So when researching this board, be careful not to try to get too many facts skewed out of proportion because of the general tendency for people to complain when they don't understand their computers.

  • Contacting Apple UK for Warranty purposes

    Can someone (or Apple) please tell me how to contact Apple UK to make a claim under the warranty scheme?
    My MacBook has the 'screen flicker' problem which the whole world seems to know about, except Apple.
    My MacBook is within the 1 year warranty, and I just want to get it fixed! I can find no form or online request tool to arrange this.
    Thanks

    Can't stream movies on Netflix.

    I have the same problem and I tried installing and unistalling Silverlight from my system but did not work. I had a chat with someone on Netflix and he told me that this is a Silverlight problem an Mac and the browser who use it, he refer me to use Google Chrome instead because don't need Silverlight and it worked. Now for Netflix on my Macbook I'll use Chrome.

  • How to contact Apple for Garage Band iPad bugs?

    I looked around a little bit, but couldn't find a place to report Garage Band bugs or contact Apple support for Garage Band iPad. I wanted to notify Apple of the problem that bluetooth audio output in Garage Band does not work. (Yes I am aware of the latency, however, this would still appear to be a bug in Garage Band if a user has explicitly set audio output to bluetooth. Not all applications fo Garage Band require zero latency.)

  • I have contacted apple for more than 5 times, but no reply

    Hi , i have renewed my iphone developer program for 99$ , But i used to get the message that "my account is expired please renew it" , later now my apps too disappeared in appstore.I have contacted apple support for more than 5 times, but no reply.What is happening.Can some one please explain please.

    "Apple will fix all these problems during a week."
    Or not.
    There are many devs who still have NO access to ANY part of the developer website.
    Apple is aware of this (a dev support person telephoned me last week) but, so far, there is no fix or work-around.
    It may be true that the developer site has access for SOME subscribers; it is NOT true that everyone is able to get resources shown as "online" on the status page -- many of us have ZERO access.
    So, when Apple says 'this week' you have to balance that with the FACT that their assessment of the current status, ie. everyone has limited access now, is wrong/untruthful.
    Anyone who doubts this should simply look at other posts in this forum -- lots of folks can't get into the site -- just an infinite loop from login to grey linen maintenance page and back.

    I have contacted apple support for itunes many many times and no results. I can tell you there support group is not us based. One person I got was in germany I believe the other in Ireland. one went on vacation the other took over and now no emails at all on the status of my account thats been locked for over a month with no resolution in site. Isnt this a publicly traded company? Does anybody know how to get a hold of the board or someone above the service providers Im dealing with or a phone number? Emails are great but there no resolution from a person that can hide behind a computer screen.

    hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music'  then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

  • I tried contact apple support and it says my serial number is invalid

    when I try to contact apple support for a chat  (about maveric)  it asks for my computers serial number.  I have read it off the bottom plate of my my stand 3 times to make certain I have it correctly but I get a message that says it is not a valid serial number.  What should I do?

    If you don't have a serial number showing, then - most likely - the logic board and/or a hard drive has been replaced in this Mac. When Apple replaced my logic board, they forgot to register/associate the new board to my Mac and I had the same problem. The tech had to come back and use a special device which connects him to a special Apple site where he then registered it.
    If you speak to Apple, make sure you have your purchase receipt.

  • TS4009 I upgraded my Icloud storage yesterday by 10GB, but one day later realize I did not need to do so.  The apple advice is to cancel within 15 days for a refund, but does not tell you how to do so.  Anyone know how to contact apple for this purpose?

    You would have to contact Apple in order to do that. Just use this link to ask Apple for a refund: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

  • Would like separate Apple ID for Contacts/iMessage

    I have an iPhone and my son has an iPod Touch - both currently iOS 6.1.3
    We share my Apple ID so we can share Music, Apps, etc.
    What I would like to have separate is the Contacts and iMessage (FaceTime, too).
    Is it possible to set up another Apple ID for this purpose?
    Will we both need to set up a separate ID for each of our Contacts and iMessages, while keeping our original ID to share?
    My husband wants to change to an iPhone as well, and we would like to do the same process with him.
    Thank you!

    Create a NEW account for your son using these instructions. Note the the minimum age is 13. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Then use that ID for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings> iCloud
    Settings>FaceTime
    Continue to use the common ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores
