Apple support keeps hanging up on me whenever I phone. What gives?

I can't get any help with my apple tv because support keeps hanging up on me when I phone.
How do I get flickr to find my user account on flicker so I can add it to my contact? Apple tv can't find it but safari can. What gives?

I tried entering my username and email but nothing worked. I could find my user account in safari by searching for people but apple tv had no such option. The only option I had in TV was to search and there was no selection to search for people.
Then Flickr suddenly decided to find my user account on TV (obviously a problem with the Flickr website that took ages for it to update my changes to make my account visible to public which I didn't know I had to do because it wasn't obvious). I'm still waiting for hotmail to receive 20 odd files I sent to it last night which haven't shown up yet.
I phoned support twice and each time they hung up on me. By the third time, (waiting on the phone for quite a while), finally TV was able to find my user account so I hung up on them for a change.
I also spent several hours trying to get help from our useless Shaw operator because they can't do anything to report problems with the phone connections. So I still don't know why I was hung up on by apple support although this has happened on other occassions and they never called back to find out why I was disconnnected.
Then lastnight I couldn't upload files to Flickr because the FotoFox plug in on Firefox kept crashing when trying to log in. More problems with Flickr??? I know I am over my limit on uploads to Flickr but I should at least be able to log in.
I was trying to upload my eye-fi card photos to the web so TV could run a screen saver of the new photos. This became a problem because the files were uploaded to mobile me and placed in a folder labelled with the date instead of not labelling the folder with a date (which I had selected). Then I discovered that TV's screen saver does not check for new files very often when running the screen saver which meant have to restart the screen saver so it would display all of the uploads to mobileme. So to make an already long day even longer... eye-fi support marked down a suggestion for future updates to have the option of saving the photos to the same folder on the web so I would be able to automatically have the screen saver select the newest photos. So TV needs to be checking the web more often for new files when running the screen saver in order for this all to work.

What application are you in when this happens?

My purchased TV shows are on Apple TV, but my purchased Movies and Music is not, what gives?

My purchased TV shows are visible on Apple TV, but my purchased Movies and Music are not, what gives?
From Apple TV menu, I used to click on "Computer" and choose my laptop and I could watch TV, Movies, Photos, Music, whatever....
but now the "Computer" button incorrectly tells me that Home Sharing is turned off (which it isn't) and I can't find my purchased movies anywhere. Plus, it appears that I can't listen to music without iTunes Match which costs $25 a year... any advice out there?

I don't believe Apple is currently listing purchased movie content, like they do with TV episodes because of licensing restrictions. Big Movies views that as a streaming service, and not purchased content, so it is licensed differently.
As to your Home Sharing, there has been no change there. You can still Home Share your videos, photos, music from your computer that has Home Sharing turned on. Keep in mind iTunes needs to be running on that computer at the same time.
Also, one in awhile my computer is on, but it does not show under Home Sharing on Apple TV. When this happens, I do a hard boot (unplug from power and plug back in) of the Apple TV, and also restart my computer. Something happens once in awhile that it loses that connection. I haven't troubleshooted more than just doing a reboot. Obviously there is a root cause, but it doesn't happen to me enough to worry about tracking it down.

When I open iMovie, it says that quick time componets are missing, "Please re-install"...When I do that it says that ONLY 9 is supported and I have to have that first. What gives with that?

What version of iPhoto are you using?
This is the the first time I have ever launched it.
Does that mean there are no photos in the library? If so move it to the Trash bin in the Dock and launch iPhoto again.
If there are photos in the library do the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Apple TV keeps hanging with my MAC but not other Apple devices

I also have a Time Capsule connected to my MAC and I think this is why it hangs. My Iphone works without any issues. My daughters and her friend's Macs' and Iphones work without any issues. They are not connected to the Time Capsule.
Are there any known conflicts between Apple TV and Time capsule ? I have the latest firmware on my Time Capsule. It is in (Off) Bridge mode. Ip Address is 192.168.1.33

Hello Brij,
Thank you for providing all that information about what is going on. I found an article that might help resolve the playback issues using Airplay mirroring:
Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4215
I recommend taking a look at the section titled, "Troubleshooting performance issues with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring." This article is for iOS devices as well as Mac computers, so you can skip any of the steps that refer to an iOS device.
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities!
All the best,
Sheila M.

When I try to sign in to the support community using one of my email addresses it asks for my apple support community user name and when I type in what I think it might be I get one of several messeges Ie. An account using this e-mail address already exis

When I try to sign in to the support community using one of my e-mail addresses and I put in nothing or what I thought was my apple support community user name I can get one of several messages
Ie.1. Please specify a user name
2.An account using this e-mail address already exists; only one account per e-mail address is allowed on Apple Support Communities
How do I find out what my Apple Support Communities user name is

Good luck with this!!!
EVEN USING what WAS my Username, this is the exact problem I am having having entered my correct ID and Password.

I bought an iPad 2 2nd Generation new from Amazon August 2013. It has no sound. Apple support says it is over 5 years old. What can I do?.

Apple Support states this iPad is over 5 years old and they can't advise me. What do I do to get sound out of it?

I presume you mean that you purchased the iPad in August of 2012, since August 2013 hasn't arrived yet. The iPad 2 was only introduced in March of 2011 and is still sold by Apple, so it's most certainly not over five years old. Apple Support apparently and mistakenly thought you were talking about a 2nd-generation iPod touch. The iPad 2 is still eligible for support from Apple. You can confirm warranty here:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
Presuming you've checked the Sounds settings and turned up the volume button and tried multiple apps, try the earphones (or any set of headphones) and see if those work. If they do, the iPad may have a stuck contact in the headphone jack. Inserting and removing the headphones a couple of times may help.
If you get no sound even with headphones, try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you try restoring from a backup and that doesn't fix the problem, try restoring to factory settings and synching your apps. You'll lose the app data and settings, but if the problem is due to a corrupt cache or settings file, that should cure it.
If none of that helps, make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple support again and make sure they understand that you're talking about an iPad.
Regards.

HT204347 I'm seeking help from Apple support -- enter the serial # -- only to have it rejected --what to do next??

I need a little help -- I am unable to enter a new printer -- have been trying for hours -- I sought Apple support -- only to be told my serial # is "invalid" -- so here I am !

Describe the problem you're having with your printer. Perhaps someone can help.
As for the serial number, verify that you are accurately copying your MacBook Pro's serial number from the About This Mac window as explained here:
Mac OS X: About This Mac window provides computer serial number
... and that you are accurately typing it in the serial number field on this page:
Check your service & support coverage
If it reports the serial number is invalid contact Apple to have it corrected.

HT1918 hi iv changed my credit card details and it keeps saying go to apple support 3 times iv done it and dont no what im doing wrong

hi iv just paid my bill or tried to but it keeps saying go to support it wont let me do anything 3 times this has happened

Because too much time has passed I can't edit this into the prior comment, but here is the info regarding reverting to iTunes 11.0.2 (assuming you do have a time machine backup) from https://discussions.apple.com/message/22057703#22057703

Repairing permissions doesn't fix it.
I reverted to the previous version, 11.0.2.
1. Quit the new crash-prone iTunes.
2. Delete the app.
3. Restore v. 11.0.2 with Time Machine.
4. In your iTunes folder look for a folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries", find the latest one.
5. In the iTunes folder itself you'll see "iTunes Library.itl", delete it (or compress it and save a copy for later just in case.
6. Copy the newest .itl file in Previous iTunes Libraries to the iTunes folder and rename it "iTunes Library.itl".
7. Launch the older version of iTunes.
My crashing has seemed to have ceased with a revert to an older version. I noticed today that the newer crashing iTunes had been launched for hours but not playing anything, when I played internet radio it crashed within 5mins, fed up I reverted to an older version.
Btw, a simpler way to do this is to revert to older iTunes app, then hold Option when it launches and choose an older library.

Where do you go for help when the customer service rep keeps hanging up on you saying your phone is breaking up and I am on a landline where I bought my verizon plan

I sign up with Verizon on 08/04/2014 new plan new phones switched carries. It has been A nightmare. First I purchased one plan with two phones. They set up two accounts charging me for both on two different account numbers. On August 11th I was told it was fixed by a local Verizon REP. Said it was a computer glitch. Now . Today I received two more bills , still two account and they even contain extra charges as if I was moving my telephones back and forth. Excessive over billing and still two account. When into store where I purchased because they knew I had this problem. They has me call customer service from the store telephone. After 1 hour on the phone with a rude person, the rep. at the store and me both talked to her. She started saying your phone is breaking up hello are your still there. I was on a land line then she put me on hold until I finally hung up. about 20 minutes. because I was already late going back to work. I have spent hours trying to get this fixed and now I have had the service for 30 days so I can not cancel. Does anyone know where to go for some help.

File a complaint they will call you.
Or take them to court for the over billing and your loss time from work to file and go to small claims court. Include the filing fee.
Either way bring all your paperwork to have the judge look at.
Good Luck

After most recent CC14 update I keep getting this error popup on startup. What gives Adobe?

I think you dropped the ball on this update... this is two things I have complained about already.

I have no idea what it is. I don't recall installing anything. It seems to be this... Cacidi Systems - Products
I don't recall buying that... in fact I know I didn't buy it... not for $119 euros A MONTH! Is this something that Adobe added? Then they should fix it.

TS2446 Is there a Phone # to contact apple support

Is there a Phone # to contact apple support

Here's my experience with Apple Support . You must first request help , they will then give you a support I.D. Number .
Then an automated caller will contact you , then as you push the appropriate numbers to clarify your problem , they'll hang up on you without even alerting you to that fact . ;)
