qHow do u get help from apple support with iChat? I was able to chat with support last week to solve my problem but now the same issue is back and I don't see the option to chat now?

For what it is worth I have noticed a similar issue from the iPad3 while at work and home. At work we have two Apple TV 3rd Generation installed and tied to our A/V system. I believe the issue has to do with a timeout on the broadcast saying "here I am" and allowing devices to connect.
For example:
At work we have several Wi-Fi SSID being broadcast from Cisco APs. The only one we can use with the Apple TV is the one that uses a WEP since the others are either setup to be hidden, require web page authentication, or have a login requirement from employees. Essentially, what I believe the issue is that the Apple TV periodically broadcasts a message to other iOS devices that support Mirroring. When the Apple TV does not get a response from a device it goes into a dormant mode and requires either a command from the remote control or a reboot. This has been tested with both the power management enabled and not enabled with the same results.
As for when I come home, the Apple TV3 has not seen the device in some time and therefore is not broadcasting it's location information. A simple click of the circle or menu keys on the remote will give it the command to start broadcasting again and allow the iPad3 to see the Apple TV. When trying to Home Share the computer can not play (iTunes 11, Win8RTM) until the Apple TV is awoken then it will show up for mirroing.
This may or may not assist you but, it hopefully explains how the issue may be happening.

  • HT1349 How do you get help from apple if you don't know where to find the serial number of my "product."  I don't know if they mean my itunes program, my iphone, my computer, which one, the number on the computer (is there one), or something in Windows or

    How are you supposed to get help from Apple if you don't know what your serial number is?  They say to input the serial number of the "product" that you are asking about.  Since my problem is how to deauthorize/authorize computers, and they are saying I have more than 5 (which I have never owned more than 5 computers in my life), I can't imagine what serial number they mean.  Does it mean your desktop computer?  If so, which one?  Do they mean your device?  LIke your iPhone, iPod or whatever?  Do they mean the software ON one of your computers and/or devices?  If so, which program, and on which computer/device?
    We have three operational computers, one does not have iTunes on it.  Since Apple is saying I have more than 5 authorized computers, and I can't imagine what they are, I am afraid to deauthorize all my computers.  See what I mean?  I just wanted to ask the question about how I can find out WHICH computers Apple thinks I have authorized, so I can decide if it's safe to deauthorize them all or not.  I only know of 2 computers that have iTunes on them, so how can there be 5?  We also have 2 iPhones and 2 iPods in this family, but one of the iPhones has his own apple id.  He may have been using mine, since his computer died.  I read that those don't count as "computers" to the 5.  Do they, then?
    Help!  I can't contact apple because I have no idea what they mean about serial number.  I doubt they would help me anyway.  In order to get the serial number off my desktop computer (that has iTunes on it already), I will have to move furniture, so I don't want to if that's not it.  Is there some way to find the serial number in the software, either on my desktop or my iPhone?

    You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized.

  • Why when we ask questions we never get help from Apple support.....is this just for other people's comments and answers?  Cause the two questions I have are still not resolved so how do we get help from Apple?

    I have posted two problems I am having on my iPad and I posted them sometime back.  One how copy paste aren't working and how my microphone will not transcribe when I use it for email. Yet even though these were both posted months ago I still have no resolution.  So i guess this is just for us to complain about our problems and sometime some one posts an idea, but they don't work.  So Apple never offers us or helps us with these problems?  Just trying to see if this is worth using as I thought Apple helped us!

    For the copy/paste issue ...
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.
    Which transcription app are you using with your microphone?

  • How Do I Get Help From Apple?

    I have a 1st generation iPhone. I love the product but I am having problems with it since 2.0. I setup the phone to work with an Exchange Server, in "PUSH" mode a 100% charged battery is consumed in less than 2 hours!! Switching to "FETCH" with a 15 minute interval solves the battery problem, but is NOT PUSH. Furthermore, once every few days the Mail application appears to get stuck communicating with the Exchange Server (in the FETCH mode) and very quickly again consumes the battery. I pull the phone out of my pocket, the the battery which was fully charged that morning is DEAD!! This situation renders the iPhone unreliable since I cannot count on the battery lasting the entire day.
    I have posted this problem to the message board and have reveived some feedback that other are also experencing this problem, but it appears to not be wide-spread. I was hoping that Apple was going to address the issue in 2.01 or 2.02, but neither rectified the problem.
    How to I go about getting Apple's ear on this problem?
    Thanks
    Bob

    Your best bet is to either call Applecare and discuss the problem with them (if you are still under warranty or under Applecare), or make an appointment with a genius at your local Apple Store. You can try leaving feedback at:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    but that is more for feature requests, etc. Apple does not monitor these forums, as it is a user-to-user discussion group.

  • So I forgot the answers to my security questions and in order to reset them I need to answer them? Help? I can't buy anything and I don't see the option to resend them...

    So I forgot the answers to my security questions and in order to reset them I need to answer them? Help? I can't buy anything and I don't see the option to resend them...

    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account. If you aren't getting the link then that implies that you don't have one and you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been resetyou can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • How do i get permission from Apple to do my youtube tutorials?

    I do music tutorials using Logic Pro 8.
    I have just become a youtube partner.
    I have approx 75 vids all very similar fashion to each other. The problem is only 20 of the video tutorials were accepted into the revenue sharing partner program. I have a feeling that youtube require me to provide some sort of documented permission from Apple that they are happy for me to be doing these tutorials showing the wonderful capabilities of Logic.
    I am essentially promoting Apples product Logic, so I can only assume that they would be happy for me to do these videoss.
    My question is, who do i have to contact and how do I get permission from Apple?
    Thanks

    You don't need permission.
    If you are questioning YouTube's decision-making policies, then get in touch with the people at YouTube.

    <Email edited by Host>

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email addresses from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account - an alternate email address is a different address/setting on an account, and it's not used for resetting security questions.
    If you aren't getting the reset link then you don't have a rescue email address, and you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions - you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.

    Hi everyone, I have problems with the notification, in a few apps I don't see the red circle even when I do have notifications in it.

    You'll get no solution until you say what the problem is, rather than just ranting.  "Software breakdown" down is as meaningful as "car won't go".
    If you read the terms and conditions that you agreed to in order to post here, you would know that Apple is not "our company". Nobody here works for Apple, we are users that voluntarily try to help, so raving at us is valueless.
