Going toan actual apple store for help?

I need to go to a store for a silly messed up button on my iTouch, is there a way to sign up for a visit with someone in advance? Do they regularly do this?

Yes. There is a way to make a reservation with a Genius. I've heard there is way to do this online, but I've not found it.
I went in with an appointment once, and I believe the person I spoke with at Apple Support set up the appointment for me.
If you arrive at the store, those with reservations are helped first. If they have an opening they should fit you in.
You could also try calling the store. They probably have the ability to enter their own appointments for a genius.
There are basically three roles in a store - retail sales (people roaming the store to help people wanting to buy), point-of-sell (cash registers) and Apple Geniuses .. there is also the usual Manager, etc.

  • Can I bring Canadian 4S to a U.S. Apple Store for help?

    My iphone 4s is Canadian but i'm having trouble with it, i'm going to the U.S. on holidays soon - Am i able to bring it to an Apple Store in the U.S. or will they send me away?

    They may give you some help if it's general info or troubleshooting, but if you need to have it repaired/replaced, they won't be able to help you. Good luck!

  • Hi guys, I recently got a new MacBook Pro with a USB Superdrive. A disc won't eject, does anyone know of a way to eject it? I'm in Morocco for the next 10 days so going to an Apple store is not possible. Any help would be gratefully received, thanks

    Hi guys, I recently got a new MacBook Pro with a USB Superdrive. A disc won't eject, does anyone know of a way to eject it? I'm in Morocco for the next 10 days so going to an Apple store is not possible. Any help would be gratefully received, thanks

    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
      1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
          left mouse button until the disc ejects.
      2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
      3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
      4. Press COMMAND-E.
      5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
          your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
            /usr/bin/drutil eject
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

  • Mountain Lion fails to install saying it cannot create the recovery; I had a similar problem with Lion and the Apple Store that helped me resolve it gave me an installable version of Mountain Lion on a flash drive for my inconvenience....

    Mountain Lion fails to install saying it cannot create the recovery; I had a similar problem with Lion and the Apple Store that helped me resolve it gave me an installable version of Mountain Lion on a flash drive for my inconvenience....is there some trick I am missing or do I need to make an appointment with a genius...

    I have the MacIntosh volume and the Boot Camp partition only.  I know that when I installed Lion, I had to go through a whole back-up and recovery of Windows and then re-format the drive. 
    The tech at the Apple Store had a previous life as a MSCE and was very helpful.  I believe he even said that I should not have htis problem with Mountain Lion which is why they gave me the flash with it onboard.  I was in the process of starting a new job when I went to Lion, so I have waited to do this next and probably last upgrade to this old MBP since I doubt Apple will support this MBP in Maverick. 
    I do not have another installation, so that is not an option.  I will try to create an external, I have plenty of hard drives around and see if I can get it done that way.  It might take me a week or two to get back to it, but I will comment back upon completion of that effort.  Thanks for your help....Dave Iverson

    Thanks for the positive feedback. Best thing to do is write a letter to that store or something of that nature to tell them you appreciated it. It really tells us how we're doing and what we could work on by getting feedback like that and we will respond to you as a way of saying thanks.

  • I bought an Air from someone and I cannot change the Apple ID in the apple store for the updates... even I am logged in for Itunes... PLEASE help..

    Hi guys, finally I made it to the apple family by buying an Air from a guy I knew... But I cannot change the ID in the apple store for updates... I managed to change it in Itunes, but when I want to download the updates it would tell me that I should log in with the other account...
    Please advise...
    Thank you!!!

    The OS and the preinstalled iLife apps are permanently assigned to the Apple ID of the original owner. You need to ask the original owner to call Apple Care and request that the Mac be released from his Apple ID.
    The only secure way to use a second hand Mac is to erase the HDD and install a fresh version of OS X.
    The only version of OS X that the original owner can pass to you is the version of OS X that came preinstalled on the Mac. The original owner cannot legally pass to you any apps that he bought in the MAS.

  • I have a Gotality Heart Monitor accessory and my iPhone 4 is not reading it. I restored the phone and cleaned out the 30 pin jack and still no luck. Any suggestions without going to a apple store. Thanks

    I recieved a gotality heart monitor accessory and my iPhone doesn't read the accessory when attached to phone. The accessory works on my friends iPhone 4, so the accessory works. I restored my phone and cleaned out the 30 pin jack and still no luck. Any suggestion without going to the apple store. Thanks.

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
    No content is affected by this procedure.

  • My iPhone 4S will no longer stay connected to my home wifi after being reset at the Apple store. Help!

    After I took my iPhone to the Apple store for a completely different problem, which they fixed, my wifi will no longer recognise my home wifi like it used to.

    Hey TSWinchester,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    I'm glad to hear my colleagues at the Apple Store were able to resolve your original issue. Let's see if we can figure out what is going on with your iPhone connecting to Wi-Fi.
    Is your Wi-Fi network appearing in the "Choose a Network" section under Settings > Wi-Fi? If not, please see the following article for troubleshooting steps:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Also, you may need to confirm that your Wi-Fi network is not configured to be hidden. For more information on password-protected networks, and hidden networks, see this article:

  • HT3302 my iphone 5 fell in water and will not come on.  Should I take it to an apple store for repair?

    my iphone fell in water and will not come on.  where can I get it repaired? Apple store?

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.

  • Will going to an Apple Store fix these problems?

    Hi,
    Purchased a MacBook pro about four months ago. 
    I've had some slighty issues with heating and also there's some kind of metal part that is clinky and moves around (right under the trackpad). 
    The computer has also accumulated some dirt, even though I only use it in a very clean environment (no eating, no drinking, always on a clean glass desk). 
    Will going to an Apple store result in these issues being diagnosed / fixed for free under the 1 year warranty? 

    If the situation is as you described it, I should think so.  You paid for the warranty service when you purchased the MBP, do use it.
    Ciao.
