Anyone know how to get Apple support?
So, I need to find out why my Iphone won't wirelessly sync anymore. I go to https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/contact/ and enter my serial number and hit CONTINUE... and the little whirling thing whirls and whirls and whirls... I've refreshed the page, tried a different browser, and even rebooted my computer, all to no avail.
I'm about to post this question, and my current attempt has had the spinning thing going for a full five minutes.
Any suggestions?
Thanks...
Well, while that's great for those "lots of people", it doesn't help me at all since I don't know any of them. I also can't use a workphone; aside from the fact that they're all "for official use only", I spend my shift in a patrol car so I don't even really have access to any of the phones at the station. Even if I were willing to use my access code to get an outside line from the City's phone system... and with my luck, they'd audit the call and want to know how calling Apple support was "official"...
I also didn't see any chat options... of course, back to my actual question, the little swirling thing was still swirling when I just now woke up, after, what, seven hours? There could very well be a chat function, but if I can't get to it, it's useless to me.
Eventually I suppose I'll have to arrange for one of my buddies to come overhere and let me borrow his phone for the hour or whatever it'll take. That's just so much more convenient than having an email support option!

Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion to connect with Exchange 2007?
Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion 10.7.2 to connect with Exchange 2007? It worked perfectly with Snow Leopard... upgraded to lion and it won't work. We use Exchange 2007 with SP 3 and Rollup 4. Won't connect... and I can't get Apple to give me any direction.
We finally got it to work today. We had to call and pay for the microsoft support service, but the issue was on the server end. We had to go into the iis manager... went to sites... when to default website...and changed the SSL settings for Auto Discover, EWS Exadmin, echange, exchweb, owa... and the rest..
Change the settings to ignore client certificates.
Problem solved. Can finally send and receive. -
Support; Anyone know how to get .mac support on the phone?
It appears the only way to get help concerning a .mac issue is by emailing them and waiting 24 hours or trying this discussion board. Anyone know of way to call them?
ThanksThanks Duane, Does anyone else find it disturbing that you can't call .mac with support issues? I guess it's a matter of pragmatism on apple's part. What if you can't receive email? How do they help you? Or what if you have an immediate problem like a business that depends on its email etc. ?
I use Mac b/c it is user friendly and a pretty darn good system and I am a computer idiot. But if something goes wrong, where's the help? -

Does anyone know how to contact apple support
I sent in a service request about 3 weeks ago, but I still have not recieved any package to return my faulty ipod and Im having trouble finding a suport address or telephone number so i can tell them that I have not recieved anything yet, the support site just keeps sending me around in circels and i end up on the same page i started on, I just want to contact ipod support surely they would have an email address or something ?
Any info would be much apretiatedThe first time I ever used anything to do with apple, was when I used quicktime, I quickly un-installed it, it was terible, so was itunes, (WHATS WITH THE DUPLICATE TRACKS ?), a long time later I decided to buy an ipod, ha what a mistake that was, it was a piece of junk, that broke down after 3 months, very badly designed, and as for tech support, well it's basicly non existent, I recently used a mac for the first time (my freind got one) ha ha ha ha, how you can call it a computer is beyond me, I nearly cried laughing when I saw how slow it was, this was a £1200 machine and it was slower than a 486, not to mention the incompatapility isues.
So please if your the kind of person who wants to spend more money for less perfomance or you only buy somthing because it's trendy and you like software thats programed by trained chimp's or maybe you like chasing up customer service rep's trying to get your faulty goods repaired then buy yourself an apple product, you wont be dissapointed. -
The user profile my appleTV was synced on my computer to no longer works (corrupt). My Apple TV is still synced to that profile and all of my recent purchases are going to that username. Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user (same computer)? I created a new user on my computer and moved the itunes folder to the desktop but never changed the path to which the apple synced to. Now I can only see old items I purchased before the user profile went bad. PLease help!
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Changing the library the Apple TV is synced with will delete all synced content from the Apple TV, but it won't delete purchased content.
You should be able to change the library, resync any content you want and transfer your purchases back to the new library. -
I can't get the AirPlay alert to stay off my Apple TV. I'm using AirPlay so it's not trying to connect. It's an alert that tells me what AirPlay is. Anyone know how to get rid of this?

Horrible experience and the movie kept stalling through iTunes on appletv. Gave up (after paying for it) and ended up renting it through cable provider. Anyone know how to get $ back from apple?!
Issues are usually network related
What is your internet speed? www.speedtest.net
6mbps is required for instant HD (you can switch to SD in the settings)
If on wifi try ethernet and www.istumbler.net to rule out interference
Make sure you're using your ISP's DNS -

I lost my old iphone and have a new 5s.. i need to sync to itunes. i had to donwload manually via tools but i didnt download all four files. now when i plug my phone into itunes it says there is an error bc i didnt download all the files. so when i go into itunes now and check for updates it says its up to date. the problem is with the phone support file i didnt download.
Does anyone know how to get back to the pop up that has the music player update and itunes update bc this is the only place i have seen "tools" to be able to manually update all four files....
***IF i completely uninstall itunes and reinstall will it still have all my songs, photos, apps etc... bc i need to sync my new phone to get all my stuff backthis is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
i have done this twice in two other posts..
here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me... -
Please help! We got a used Mac Mini and we don't have the former owner's password, so we can't install anything like flash player. Does anyone know how to get around this? I don't know how to wipe the hard drive, and the support online doesn't seem to work.
As posted previously:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
If installing Leopard the process is similar in some respects. If you wish to begin anew then after selecting the target disk click on the Options button and select the Erase and Install option then click on the OK button. To install over an existing system do the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update. -

Anyone know how to get plug-in libraries (SonikSynth2 presets in my case) to show in Logic's library browser ?
I would think this applies to any AU plug-in though.The most likely solution is a bit strange, but there are enough posts and discussions about it, so I am comfortable recommending it . . .
What you want to do is to toggle Logic Pro 9 back and forth from a 64-bit application to a 32-bit application and then to a 64-bit application. The IK Multiedia virtual istruments are 32-bits, so they do not get analyzed and verified when you only run Logic Pro 9 in 64-bit mode . . .
The solution is to run Logic Pro 9 in 32-bit mode, which you do by right-clicking on the application; selecting "Get Info"; checking the "Open in 32-bit mode" checkbox; and then starting Logic Pro 9. Once you do that and everything loads, quit Logic Pro 9; and repeat the "Get Info" procedure, but this time uncheck the "Open in 32-bit mode" checkbox and then run Logic Pro 9 again, where this time it will be running as a 64-bit application . . .
Doing this apparently causes Logic Pro 9 to rescan the AU plug-ins, where during the 32-bit mode step it finds the various IK Multimedia virtual instrument plug-ins . . .
If you do some searches, you will find the information, which as I recall also is found in an Apple Support item . . .
Logic Pro 9: New or updated 32-bit Audio Unit Plug-ins sometimes are not available in 64-bit mode (Apple Support)
