How can I get some Tech Support?

I am new to the world of Apple. IPod drew me in. Since I upgraded to iTunes6 the investment appears to be a bad one. I have tried to seek support on the Apple Dicusssions. The best advice someone could offer was buy a Mac. Not the best advice to offer a Windows user when frustrated with lack of Apple resources.
Is there a paid support I can access? I don't mind paying if someone for sure knows what they are doing. I imagine most of the folks on the Discussion Forums are voluntary Apple Users. Where are the Tech Support people? I wish someone could ask me some intelligent questions and offer me a diagnosis to the problem, atleast.
Many users in their kindness I must admit attempted to help but quickly dropped this hot potato.

Here's the update:
I was able to get iTunes launched (with the help of Tech Support) in a very unsafe environment. I owe it to those who may need this after me. It will get you going, but you will be extremely vulnerable to internet virus assaults. Please do not use this approach, until you have exhausted every other available solution for your issue in the KB.
There are three Steps 1) Uninstall 2) Disble and 3) Reinstall.
UNISTALL Uninstall iTunes using Windows utility Add Remove Program available in Control Panel.
DISABLE Disable all third party System Services and Startup Items using using MSCONFIG utility as described in Service Document http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
RE-INSTALL Re-install iTunes6 + QT7. Launch it under the Selective Startup Option.
It worked ! You realize among other things at this point you have your Antivirus and Firewall disabled. When I started my computer in the Normal Startup Option, iTunes fails to work again. So I have ahead of me the long and ardous task of ruling out the service that is causing conflict with iTunes6. Then work with the software vendor to arrive at a solution.

  • How can I get some actual support on here???   I want to know why I put a lock on my phone, when it can B plugged in a comp and B locked, yet EVERYTHING is wiped off my phone, and there is no actual support on this website...I can do the same on FB!!!

      I have owned an iPhone just 3 months, and been trying to be optimistic about it, and give it a chance, but I see this site is not run by Apple technicians.  Thought I would have some support after taking the time to log in, and ask a question, hoping there might be a chance, that my problem could be fixed, but what are the chances of anyone seeing my question???  I saw the same question, poor lady had asked it back in Dec, of 2011...NO ONE ANSWERED HER!!!  Nothing about the iPhone has convinced me to stay with it, it's too fragile, U loose data when Ur phone is locked, and there is no customer support!!!   Thank U very much, but I will go back with Blackberry or maybe I will go with the new Galaxy... at least I will know when I lock my phone, it is in fact locked!!!   I can't get over the LACK of committment given to customers here, when they apparently take the time to come online, and go through all the nonsense of making a username, when there are no intentions of anyone from APPLE here to give support...it says support and after all is said and done, it's simply a chatroom!!!   Have a no chance of anyone seeing Ur question, have better chances of finding an answer on facebook!!!  

    This is a user to user support forum.  We are all iphone users just like you.
    You are not addressing Apple here at all.
    This is an odd way to ask your fellow iphone users for help. Berating oterh users will not help you.
    "it's too fragile"
    No it is not.  i have never damaged one, nor has anyone I know.
    " U loose data when Ur phone is locked"
    No you don't.  Why do you think this?
    "and there is no customer support!!!  "
    Wrong yet again.  Apple has an 800 number and they have many retail stores and they have support articles that you can access using the search bar. Or you can contact them throgh express lane online
    "but I will go back with Blackberry "
    Please do.
    Good ridance

  • My Premier Pro software that I get from Adobe Cloud subscription, no longer RENDERS.  How can I speak with Tech support to remedy this problem?

    My Premier Pro software that I get from Adobe Cloud subscription, no longer RENDERS.  How can I speak with Tech support to remedy this problem?

    For several hundred productions, Pr CS6 worked perfectly for me.  Now, for some unknown reason, when I attempt to render video, the render progress window continually shows more and more frames to be processed.  Therefore when I get to 80% rendered it drops back to 70% and increases the total frames in the render.... over and over, so that I never get past 99% rendered... regardless of how long I let it process.

    It beats the **** outta me.  I have been trying to find that out for days.
    The customer support page keeps leading you back to the forum saying there are agents here that you can talk to about your problems.

  • How can I get the tech specs of my MacBook Pro?

    Hi - I want to sell my MacBook Pro (to buy a new one). I am one of those people who loves Apple because I do not have to worry about techy things as I had to when I was a PC guy. The problem is that, as a result, now that I want to sell my MacBook, I cannot remember its tech configuration and do not know how to get it!!
    I am sure this question is most silly for most of you. Could someone please let me know how I can get the tech specs of my MacBook? In particular, I was thinking of:
    - OS X version
    - Processor
    - L2 cache
    - System Bus
    - Memory (RAm)
    - Hard Drive
    - Optical Drive
    - Graphics card
    - Graphics memory
    - Video capability
    - Display resolution
    - Expantion slots, etc
    - Ethernet card
    - Wireless card
    Thanks a lot!!

    For the published specs, click on the Support tab at the top of the page, select the "Tech Specs" link, and search for your model of MacBook Pro. For specifics about your system, run System Profiler, which will be in Applications -> Utilities folder on your MBP.

  • How can I get English language support in South Korea?

    I'm British living in South Korea. A few times now I have needed to get in touch with support but the Korean site only has Korean language. My Korean is not good enough to have a conversation in Korean. Anyone know how I can get Englsih language support in South Korea?

    Is there an official site where I can install a
    language pack for Armenian?
    Armenian reading and writing support is already included in OS X. The font is called Mshtakan. To input you need to activate one of the Armenian keyboard layouts by going to system preferences/international/input menu and checking their boxes, plus the box for "show input menu in Finder," then selecting Armenian in the "flag" menu at the top right of the finder.
    Armenian requires a modern Unicode app and will not work with Appleworks or Word X.
    OS X does not yet have an Armenian system localization (menu and dialogues).
    If you don't have the things described above on your system, let us know.

  • HT1414 i deleted my messages by mistake.. how can i get some back?

    I deleted my messeges by mistake. Can I get them back?

    If you are referring to SMS/MMS messages, the ony way to get them back is to restore the device from a backup created prior to the messages being deleted.
    Restores are all or nothing, so there's no way to restore only the messages.
    If you do not have a backup, there is nothing that can be done.

  • HOW can I get some customer service??!!

    Seriously... I know Adobe are supposed to industry leaders in software, but their customer service is among the worst I have ever encountered.
    All I am trying to do is have someone tell me why my order was cancelled, why no one told me it was cancelled and why when I tried to place the same order the price had gone up by £200.
    I have tried four customer live chats - two didn't understand what I was trying to ask, the other two seemed to get it but didn't do anything/ 'weren't able to help' because they worked for the wrong department and couldn't tell me which department might help.
    I have tried emailing customer services. I got one reply where they said they considered my case closed, one reply where the person insinuated I was stupid and had been lookign at the wrong product page (I hadn't) and three times since I have emailed the same address and my emails have bounced back. When I mentioend this to a live chat person, she said it was because 'emails usually don't work if you use an IE browser'. Despite the fact they had worked previously, I sent an email from Chrome - and still it bounced back.
    I have tried clicking on the support portal and I get an error message. I have even private messaged an Adobe employee through the forums and begged for help - nothing.
    If the email address [email protected] isn't working, how the hell do I get in touch with ANYONE who knows what they're talking about?! And why is it so difficult to get any kind of service from this company?!
    Please - if anyone can help me, I'd be so grateful. This is driving me mad. I was prepared to give this company thousands of pounds worth of business, and it's actually impossible to get any information from them at all...

    The only way Adobe can demonstrate to its customers that it does care is by opening a dedicated forum (called Customer Care) where people can post their problems regarding payments and accounts related.  That forum should only be answered by Adobe Staff (Not even glorified MVPs should be allowed on that forum).  People can read the forums but solutions should come from Adobe staff with real names and proper contact details (not some made up names).  The solutions should be provided within 24 hours (excluding weekends and public holidays) or at least the customer should be contacted via PM or e-mail within this time framework.
    Anything less should simply be not acceptable.

  • How can I get some help with Verizon's customer service?

    I want to preface this by stating that this is the first time in the 10 years in which I've been a Verizon wireless customer, that I've had a problem that cannot be resolved to my satisfaction.  My issue started with a Verizon Wireless Stores in Bethlehem, PA.  I asked one of the sales clerks for some assistance (which I now regret).  My question to her was that I simply wanted to be able to connect my home laptop computer to the internet data on my mobile plan. Without even discussing the different options, I was "told" I needed to purchase a Mobile Hotspot Device (for $69.99, but just $20 after rebate!).  I told the clerk I didn't want to have to pay an additional bill every month and didn't want something that wasn't absolutely necessary.  She neglected to give me the more costly details, like the fact that it would require a 2 year contract on the device, and it would also cost me an additional $20 per month.  She knew I wasn't really sure what the most cost-effective option was, so I trusted her knowledge.  I even had my husband speak to her over the phone about the device, since he's more savvy about technology than I am.  The clerk spoke with him the entire time she completed my transaction, and when she rang the sale up, she did not have me sign anything.  She handed me the receipts, and told me I had 14 days to decide If I wanted to keep the device.  When I got home and tried to use it, it would not connect to my computer.  I took it to a local Verizon store on my lunch break one day and they looked into the transaction.  They told me it was never put on my account; it was charged to someone else's account in error.  I had to go back to the store where I originally purchased it.  I wasn't able to get back to the original store right away, but I made sure to get there by the 14th day.  It took two store managers to look at my account and figure out the error.  They fixed it, but no one apologized to me for the inconvenience; they simply told me they could activate the device for me, or if I didn't want it any more, they would take it back (minus the $35 restocking fee). I took issue with the restock fee, because the store made the error by not giving me the full information at time of purchase, and then not charging it to my account so that I could try it out for 14 days.  I was very upset that the manager refused to remove the restocking fee due to "policy" and that I "signed a contract" and I had to pay it.  I argued that she should make an exception in this case, because I was inconvenienced.  I told her if she valued my future business at her store, she would reconsider.  She refused to budge and told me that I didn't need to shop in her store any more.  I thought that was quite rude and insulting. So, I took all of my original receipts, along with the receipt that indicated that she refunded the $69.99 plus tax (minus the $35 restock fee).  I left the store quite upset, but figured there wasn't much else I could say to her. Meanwhile, it's days later and my bill still shows the entire amount of $74 for the mobile hot spot device still on there.  There is no credit for the return at all.  I called customer service on my lunch break yesterday, and was on the phone for 45 min with a "Kendra R" to no avail.  The entire call, she kept putting me on hold, and my bill was still not straightened out. When I asked to speak with a supervisor or manager, she said there was no one else available.  Later that afternoon, I got an automated call (that left a voice message) from Verizon Customer Service to do a survey on my customer service experience.  I did the survey and explained that my problem was not resolved and I would like a call back.  No one has called me back yet, and I am stuck with no resolution to my problem.  Now the Verizon store has the device back, and I still have the entire amount for it on my bill.  Can you help me please?

    Nope, it was a Verizon Wireless Store.  I went in there in the first place because I trusted the Company for their professionalism, but I've been let down badly.  I posted my story on here because I'm hoping to be able to get the attention of someone from Customer Service.  It seems like the only way you can actually speak with a live person who knows what they are doing, is when you stop paying your bill on time.  After you pay your bill, they transfer you to a poorly trained "rep" that has no authority to handle anything important. I'm actually a pretty patient person, but when it takes someone over 45 min mostly just to keep me on hold, and then tell me they can't help me, I'm not really impressed with their idea of customer service.

  • How can you get to Technical Support when something is not working?

    I have tried to install an update from Adobe and the Extension Manager will not install.
    I keep getting this error code:
    "Extension Manager 6.0.8 Update
    Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7"
    Then it tells me to check with Technical Support if it doesn't install after trying again.
    There doesn't seem to be any way to reach Technical Support for Adobe Products.
    The entire system is only a sales tool. This is, to put it nicely, a pile of manure.
    If anyone knows how to address this problem please let me know
