How can deaf people contact Apple support?!?

I keep trying to get some answers about my Black Friday order of an IPAD2 and accessories.  The only options I see are to call customer support, via phone.
I am deaf and absolutely cannot hear on the phone, so that's out.  I finally found a live chat button earlier and chatted with a fellow.  I explained the situation to
him and he gave me a phone #.  I reiterated that I was deaf and coulnd't hear on the phone.... his response... they have options for that. ??? I guess he means
I can be healed!  I decided to end the chat.  In any event I still need to contact Apple customer service and can't find ANY email address.  Surely I'm not the only deaf person in the world.... and does this mean deaf people can't buy apple... or just can't get support?
Here is the problem... maybe you can help.  I ordered an IPAD2, docking station, vga-adaper, cover, and camera adapter, on Black Friday, the 25th.
The store said all items were in stock.  I made the purchase and received my confirmation email from Apple.
On the 28th... Monday I got an email from Apple (Not FedEx) that SOME items had shipped.  This email listed the two items shipped, the dock station,
and camera adapter.  And it gave me a tracking number, and a neat button to click to check the status.  It also listed the other three items, they were
all together listed as "Preparing for shipment",  with a delivery date of Nov.30-Dec1.  There was no tracking # for these unshipped items.
The first shipment came today... Dec. 1. It says carton 1 of 1.  But I can't find any info on the other items.... they are still listed as preparing for shipment.  My God it's been a week.... the other half came already.... you SAID you had it in stock....???
So I can't get any info from Apple, I contacted FEDEX cust support... but they need a tracking number... which I don't have...
Can someone please give some way to contact Apple... this is getting absurd.  I can't even cancel the order, it says it's gone to far in
the process I'll have to wait until it is delivered to cancel.... or return. 
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
My MAC experience isn't going so well.....

Well at the end of this exerience I must say I still don't understand.
It turns out the reason I couldn't get any info from Fed Ex is because the 2nd half of the shipment
came via UPS.  I have never heard of THAT before using two shippers on one order.  Anyway things
did work out but I hated being in the dark about it.  I didn't receive any feedback from Apple until
it had already been delivered.  Then the next day I got an email... your items have shipped with
a UPS tracking number.
Thank you for the info on TTY devices.... and you are correct I should have made the rather long trip into
the nearest Apple store.

  • How can deaf people contact customer support?

    I'm looking for a chat link for deaf people who need to contact customer service. Going on the apple website, it seems that a generic phone number or email is available (We can't talk on phones, and emails take too long to reply). What is the best way to go about this?
    Thank you!

    The options for technical support are these forums (user-to-user), via telephone, at Apple Stores, or at Apple Authorized Service Providers.
    What sort of problem are you seeking to resolve?

  • How can I change my Apple Support Communities Name?

    How can I change my Apple Support Communities Name? I want to change it because I made it a long time ago and want a different name. I want to start using Apple Support Communities a lot more and start helping people, But I want a different name.

    It is possible he was incorrect.
    > When you signed up you were not given the opportunity to create an alias? I find that hard to believe given the number of people who have joined since that have there own alias. Apple assigned xdcdx to you?
    Yes, back on 2007 I chose xdcdx.
    Forward to 2011: I change the email address of my Apple ID to my current email address.
    I login to Apple Support Communities (which I had not logged in to since 2007) and to my surprise I see this nickname that I almost didn't remember using here.
    For me, it's irrational that I am able to change the main email address of my Apple ID (is there any piece of information more important than that?), but not this little username on this subpar forum system (subpar because of the web design/engineering, I don't mean to offend all the people here which are always quite helpful).
    I upgrade to iCloud, and my email address gets hardcoded to my Apple ID. That's good, because I want this email address. In that case, they make sure to warn you that you had to chose an email address as an Apple ID for iCloud. That was not the case in this forums.
    > In the link that you provided Tuttle did a better job than I did as to the difficulty factor. Not sure why you were linking it.

    How many million participants have these forums?
    At least you do not seem to disagree with me that these forum are subpar compared to the usual Apple perfectionism level (see iCloud nice web user interface, for another fine example). This thing still looks like a forum from 2007.
    > Yes on an extremely limited basis Apple has made the change for longtime users (only two that I know of) with one of those a request for security reasons. That does not mean it is easy.
    I still am not convinced that it is technically that difficult. I think it just a policy on part of Apple to avoid banal username change requests.
    In part, I am not more active in this forums because I do not want my words to be associated to this nickname, becayse it is used on internet by tons of other people for other stuff, as a Google result will show.
    Anyway, thanks for your words. I'll keep looking from time to time for the username change feature, because I do want to contribute to these forums.

  • Why can't I contact apple support?

    It says I have to have the latest browser for Mozilla, Firefox or IE, and I do!! I checked! Why can't I contact apple support? I get trapped in a frustrating circle!

    If you can't get into the support site via the web, just call them:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    Or you can make an appointment at an Apple Store, if you have one on your area.
    Regards.

  • How can I IM a apple support agent over the web?

    anyone know how you can do this? I did it before, but now I can't seem to find it...

    Apple Support does not use IM. Depending on where you are, you may, however, be able to Chat with them by going here:
    https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action
    and selecting your product and issue. Eventually it will lead you to contact options which may include chat. If not, you'll have to talk to them via phone or go to an Apple Store.
    Regards.

  • TS3694 how can i fix an apple support error 2 issue

    my computer lets me install itunes however it say i cant run it because i need apple app support. how can i fix this error?

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version). If the following link takes you to the WinRAR home page rather than the WinRAR downloads page, click the Downloads header in the box at the left of the WinRAR home page to see the trial version downloads:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • TS2446 how do I contact Apple support?  the phone number in UK does not work and the website loops

    I can't reset my security questions - it tells me they've sent the email to reset but no email arrives...  the support system loops all over the place and takes you back to where you start in the end - with no help ANYWHERE.  I looked up the Apple number for the UK and when it rings, it does so only once - then nothing.  I need my account unlocked and the ability to purchase items from itunes store with the gift cards I received.
    What a mess.  Where did the online chat go?  Where did ANY resemblence of customer support go??

    Good day BenithaK,
    Once you have changed your Apple ID, you need to set it up for use in the various systems such as iTunes, the App Store, etc so it can be used as intended. This article shows how to do that -
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID - Apple Support
    To change your iTunes billing information for either Apple ID account, follow the directions in this article -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Safe computing,

  • HT5621 can't contact Apple support because it's product related

    I wanted to start using iCloud so I clicked on it in Preferences. This led me to having to change my Apple password since it's years since I signed in. I can actually sign in though because my keychain remembers the password, even though I don't. However, when I tried to change the password it sent me an email. I can't get this email though because it's been sent (I think) to my .mac email address (never used it). If I open Apple's Mail programme (instead of my usual Outlook programme) it DOES open the .mac account but the most recent emails are from 2012, when Apple closed the MobileMe service.
    So... I tried to change my primary email address in the Apple ID settings but I can't (of course) because it doesn't have the edit button next to it (something to do with how it was originally set). The advice on Apple's support pages is that it can't be changed and that I have to contact Apple Support. I tried to do this but (of course) I can't because support is PRODUCT related and not SERVICE related. My Apple products (two iMacs, two iPads and an iPhone) are al out of the support window.
    This is extremely unimpressive and frustrating. I'm actually trying to buy another service from Apple (iCloud) but it won't let me.

    Glad to hear it's resolved, for future reference all support related to an Apple ID is free.
    Contact AppleCare (or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
