How do I reach a human for Apple help?

Is this a live support group?? I'm trying to actually reach a human to ask questions about NUMBERS. I had figured it out once before, using KEYNOTE and wsa able to share my screan with the support person working for Apple but have now wasted about half an hour trying to get a support person. Help please.

Fellow users answer questions in the forum... NOT employees of Apple. I suggest calling the Apple support phone line. This information is located here:

How do I get a receipt for Apple software I downloaded?

A receipt is usually sent direct to the principal e-Mail address for the account within a day or two. On the bottom is a link to report any problems. You can also look through purchases history to view past purchases.

A movie I bought a while ago will no longer play, instead it just shows a black screen and no audio. All of the other movies in my library play fine. Any ideas as to whats going on or how to fix it? Thanks for any help.

Hi 22chill,
I recommend that we delete and re-download the movie from your purchase history:

Adobe Premiere elements 13 disk has no setup.exe file. How do I reach a human at Adobe?

I have been receiving the Adobe run around. It is impossible to reach a human about the defective disk that lacks setup.exe. Does Adobe just take money and not have any technical support at all? Adobe automated system referred me to this forum. However, I don't see how forum can supply me with a workable installation disk. I just bought product from Amazon and paid for next day delivery of disk but have disk with no setup.exe.
Is there any way to reach a human at Adobe?
Thanks.

Are you 100% sure you are putting the Windows disc in your drive, and not the Mac disc? (I think the boxed product has both)
I don't have the link handy, but I also think you may download the demo and use your serial number to activate
Serial number and activation chat support (non-CC) may help

How do I purchase these tools for apple care technicin training

How do I purchase the tools for the on line course in apple care technician training? Can I get access to an old computer from Apple to work on?

If by "tools" you are referring to physical tools, you can buy tools through any standard tool seller or electronics parts supplier. I'm not aware that Apple sells tools, though I may well be wrong. I've never been a member of the certification program so I don't know all the features of the program.
Apple will not sell you discontinued computers. If you need a computer they no longer sell in the Apple Store as new or in the refurbished section, you'll need to look to independent dealers or private sellers.

How to stop the ATV asking for Apple ID Password

I just upgraded to 6. Now everytime the ATV boots up (I turn it off at night) it asks for my AppleID password. This never happened under 5.x. I do not rent or buy iTunes stuff from my ATV. I do not want to enter my password because I never had to under 5.x, how can I stop it asking for my password?

In case anyone else gets this I hit cancel once and it has never come back.

How can I install word program for apple onto a MacAir

Mac Air has no CD point, have Microsoft office for Apple computers and I want to install programs on an Apple Mac Air computer....

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
In order to install applications from discs on the MacBook Air, you have two possibilities:
1. Buy an external optical drive, connect it to the MacBook and use it to install your applications.
2. If you have another PC or Mac, use Remote Disc > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5287
Also, if you want to install Office 2011, another option is to download Microsoft Office from the Microsoft website > http://www.microsoft.com/mac Then, install Office 2011 and activate it with your product key

How to get 802.11n speed for Apple TV?

I installed my first Apple TV yesterday. Great stuff!
My iTunes movie library is on a Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro. I have not yet used the AirPort Extreme 802.11n Enabler on this MacBook, since I just found out it exists. If I use it, can I utilize 802.11n sync speeds with the Apple TV? How?
My AirPort network uses only an "old" 802.11g AirPort Extreme base station, not the "new" AirPort Extreme base station with 802.11n.
I have three 802.11g AirPort Express base stations on my network, mainly for using AirTunes.
My iMac connects to my wireless network using 802.11g, and I don't think the 802.11n Enabler works with it.
My cable modem current connects to my Airport Extreme (802.11g) base station via Ethernet.
I understand I can get a new AirPort Extreme 802.11n base station to replace the 802.11g one, and that would let me use the higher 802.11n speed from the MacBook to the Apple TV. It would also allow (unless I misunderstand) all my 802.11g devices to access the network at the lower speeds they are capable of. Correct?
I also understand there is something called a "dual band network" that involves using both base station types in one large network, but I don't know what the advantage of doing that would be, compared with just replacing the old base station. Can someone fill me in on that?
And, is there any way to get 802.11n speeds from the MacBook Pro to the Apple TV without getting an 802.11n base station?
Thanks in advance.

No. Unless you set up an adhoc network between your Mac and the Apple TV.

Yes, it would.
It would also allow (unless I misunderstand) all my 802.11g devices to access the network at the lower speeds they are capable of. Correct?
If you set things up this way, then I believe you wont be able to use wideband mode on the AEBSn. Your AEBSn will be opperating in mixed mode and its 802.11n performance will be degraded. The best set up would be to keep your old router to service the G only devices, and have your new AEBSn service the N capable devices. This would allow you to take full advantage of the performance increase provided by 802.11n capable devices.

How to format new hard drive for Apple TV when you can't use old HD

I need to know how to format a new HD to install in my Apple TV where I can't use the old HD to clone or otherwise create the new structure on the new HD.
I have an Apple TV that was syncing to a Mac Mini that had a defective HD and logic board. I was unable to backup the Apple TV to the Mac Mini for some time before I had the mini repaired by AppleCare.
When the mini came back, it registered on the Apple TV as a new computer and I couldn't sync with it without losing hundreds of dollars of content.
All was okay until the other night when Apple's defective update for the ATV erased ALL my content. I updated it to 3.1 this morning, which Apple indicated might fix the problem. It didn't. The old content is all gone.
My ATV is out of warranty, so I removed the old HD and copied the files from the "Purchased" folder to my mini. That saved most 101 items that I purchased since 12/08 (but not all for some reason). I lost all content prior to 12/08 that I purchased, as well as some content since 12/08 that I purchased.
I need to keep the old HD untouched until I can purchase data recovery software. I'd like to just put a spare IDE HD in that I have into the ATV and just start over with what is in my Mac mini iTunes.
So, how does one do that? I'm not gifted with vast Unix knowledge or experience and I don't want to clone the old HD and risk losing more data if it writes to the HD for some reason.
Thanks.

Hi Atagahi,
Firstly, have you emailed Apple iTunes support indicating your issue? There have been instances in which Apple will allow re-downloading of all content you've purchased on the iTunes store.
Secondly, I highly recommend you get an external usb hard drive, attach it to your mini and use it as a Time Machine drive to keep your iTunes purchases safe. It's a fact of life that all hard disk drives will eventually fail. The Apple TV should never be used as any kind of permanent storage space; think of it as a 'temporary holding' zone. And as you've unfortunately already experienced, a glitch wiped out all content on the Apple TV.
As regards your original question, it seems like there have been folks who've done just that...taken the internal drive in the Apple TV out and attached it to a mac and copied files from the Apple TV hard drive. I have not had to do such, so I cannot offer any help here except for Linda's suggestion on googling the net for solutions.
Good luck and hope you get all your purchased content back Atagahi!
