Support profile can't be found

Why is this so difficult?  First, it's hit or miss to simply find out where to sign in using my apple ID, and still harder to find my support profile.  Can someone make this simple for me?  Each time I want to register a device or remove one from the profile, I find myself going on a trip down the rabbit hole.  Is the solution to simply stop buying Apple products?  Hmm... Sooo....I see that the clouds have parted and there is now a link at the bottom of this page...that's some hocus-pocus, so I suppose my question is moot, for now.  Also come to find that I now must categorize my support question by community, even though it is a general support question about getting into my support page.  Humbug!!  Thanks in advance...hope someone can help before my goose is cooked.  I don't want to have to go through this again.  Feels like trying to decipher Windows 8.

[1] King_Penguin pointed you right to it
[2] the solution is to BOOKMARK the link for your own Support Profile, as I and many here have

  • I'm using a mac, my profile can't be found, firefox won't open, and I don't have an application support file for firefox.

    I tried to reset firefox because it was running slowly, in the middle of it "cleaning up" my old files something happened and firefox closed. I tried to reopen it and it kept coming up with an error message about my profile not being able to be found etc. I tried looking for solutions but couldn't find one that I could follow. Please help.

    Follow the instructions to create a new profile. Then test it.
    After, you can move your files from the old profile to the new one.

  • Windows support USB can't be found

    I was trying to boot camp my girlfriends mac with windows on it, and it got everything done, but we can't seem to install the Windows support drivers on there. It keeps saying "USB cannot be found" even when we have a correctly formatted USB in.

    What is the exact MBP model that you are using? Knowing that the correct drivers can be found from the Bootcamp downloads.
    Switch to Windows and download the appropriate file, unzip it in a new directory, and run setup.exe in the Bootcamp folder.

  • Why I can't register my iPod touch 4G to my Apple Support Profile ?

    I've purchased a new iPod touch 4G last week through a 3rd party reseller. He activated the product for me using my AppleID.
    Then I went home to register the iPod in my ASP. However, after I put in the serial number, this came up :
    I'm confused with this message since I don't even have any other AppleID. Yet, I've contacted my local Apple Authorized Service Provider but they haven't reply anything yet. My iPod touch was a MD527ZP but in my region, most of my products are ID (i.e. MC086ID). Hence, I've a few questions :
    1. Why I can't register my iPod touch 4G to my Apple Support Profile ?
    2. If I ignored the registration, will I be experiencing any inconvinience ?
    3. Does getting a product from a different region would be hampering me later ? (or is it illegal ?)
    4. Where did ZP devices came from ?
    5.  For my situation, what can I do to resolve this matter ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Well, in my case, I'm in Indonesia where Apple Telephone Support won't do any good. However, I've came to the seller again. They said they didn't even knew that the product had been registered. They assured me that the product is completely legal.
    Here, see for yourself :
    I purchased and activated the unit on 5 August 2012. I thought it was wierd too. More unusual thing is that when I emailed a local Apple Authorized Service Provider, he said that something is wrong during the registration which is now made my warranty voided.
    I found that ZP region was for Malaysia too (from an unofficial website) which is closer to Indonesia, but this is wierd either since Apple products I ever bought in Malaysia had MY. lllaass, could you do me a favor by looking into this ?
    I thought I might be a step closer to find out why Australians who get ZP products sent those to Malaysia to be sold. But all I wanted, is to find a way to let me register the iPod touch into my ASP.

  • How can I add iPhone Serial No. in Apple Support Profile

    Recently, I bought iPhone 5 Unlocked on eBay. Now I am trying to add serial number in my apple support profile but I found this error " According to our records, this serial number is associated to another Apple ID. If you have more than one Apple ID, log in to My Support Profile with that Apple ID to see your other products. Not sure if you have another Apple ID? ". so what should i need to do in this respect? further I have original seller purchased invoice (not apple original invoice) and I have proof of purchased thought paypal statement/invoice. So how can I add this iPhone in my account.

    I have the same problem. How do I fix this?

  • My MacBook Air is in a support profile for one of my Apple IDs while all my other devices are in a support profile for a different one of my Apple IDs; how can I combine under one?

    My MacBook Air is in a support profile for one of my Apple IDs while all my other devices are in a support profile for a different one of my Apple IDs; how can I combine under one?

    Actually, this can be done without merging Apple IDs, as I found just by trying this out: I went into the support profile for the Apple ID that had only my Mac listed. I then chose to disassociate the Mac from that Apple ID. I signed out and signed in using my other Apple ID (the one with all my other Apple devices). I chose to add/register a new device, entered my Mac's serial number, and now it is associated with all my other Apple devices under a single Apple ID. No merger of Apple IDs required.

  • HT5787 What do I do if my iPod was stolen and I checked my support profile and when I entered the serial # I got a message saying it has been registered to another Apple ID? Is there a way to find out that Apple ID so that we can locate the iPod?

    What should I do if my iPod has been stolen and when I checked my support profile and entered my serial # and I received a message that the serial # had been registered to another Apple ID account? Is there a way to find out the Apple ID that it was registered to? I have already checked find my iPod and it shows my iPod is offline. I have already filed a police report.

    No, sorry, there is no way you can get that information. The police perhaps could, but it would probably require a court order and it's unlikely the police will go to those lengths unless they have reason to believe that this theft was not an isolated instance and hence worth more of their time than the single theft of an iPod.
    Even if they got the ID, it may well just be yours. Apple's registration database often contains such errors; I get the same message for some of my devices when I know I registered them to my Apple ID and the devices are all still right here.
    Regards.

  • How many devices can I have in my support profile?

    How many devices can I have in my support profile?  I have 24 and can not add any more.  I just tried to add a new iPhone and it says the serial number, "We're sorry, but this serial number is either invalid or it is for Apple software or accessories. If you are trying to register Apple hardware other than an accessory, please check your information and try again."

    Never having seen that question before, I tried to find some information - could not find anything unfortunately. So, unless someone else has a better suggestion, my recommendation is to use this form:
    http://www.apple.com/support/feedback/
    Send them your  question - or, if you are covered by Applecare or regular warranty, simply give them a call and ask.
    24 Devices....... hmmmm, I'm green with envy!

  • I can't add my MacBook Pro to "My support Profile" devices

    I just changed my MacBook Pro from one iCloud account A to account B. I then logged in 'My Support Profile' on account B to add it to 'My Products'. When I typed in the serial number, I got the message
    "According to our records, this serial number is registered to another Apple ID. If you have more than one Apple ID, log in to My Support Profile with that Apple ID to see your other registered products."
    I then logged in to account A to check if the device was maybe still listed on it; it wasn't. So, I believe "your records" are wrong - is this just because of a delay of a couple hours or is there a more serious problem?
    By the way, I've been able to download iCloud music on my MacBook from account B, so it's definitely communicating with account B all right.

    You aren't addressing Apple here.  This is a user to user technical support forum.  Also, this has nothing to do with iCloud, even though you may have registered it with the same ID you use for iCloud.  Regardless of what ID you use for iCloud, you can register your Apple product with any valid Apple ID.

  • Can I clear my repair and any past cases history in my Apple Support Profile?

    Pretty much as the head line says, you know that when you schedule a repair or open a selfsolve case it all gets to stay in there as a history in your apple support profile, and I'm wondering what If I would like to clean it? I want to give my profile a clean look specially when I sold some of the items that had repairs and was registered but no more
    You assistance would be much appreciate it
    And if no, I wonder why don't you make such a thing! My case for example, I sold the laptop, why should I be reminded of the bad experience I had with its repairs??

    There's no way to do that I'm aware of. You can suggest it Apple via their feedback page:
    https://ssl.apple.com/support/feedback/
    Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. The only people who will reply to your posts are we your fellow users.

  • Plese Help. Me have FAT32 USB, ISO. Boot camp:Can't install Windows Support Software because the Software Update Server "(null)" can't be found. It asks me to network Diagonostics, but internet ok. Plese Help

    Plese Help. Me have FAT 32 USB, ISO, Boot cam say can't install windows support software because the software update server "(null)" can't be found.
    I know there are many other threads, but I guess I couldn't find clear answer to this problem. Is that the Apple's server problem or just me?
    I'm trying to install Windows7 via Bootcamp, with FAT 32 formated USB with ISO, on Macbook air 2012.
    Thanks!

    The problem is the encryption and how your notebook handles it rather than a Time Capsule problem. I had similar problems until I updated the WLAN drivers on my IBM T41.
    The way I convinced myself it wasn't an Apple problem was to connect my IBM T41, via ethernet, to my AEBSn. I was able to connect to internet so I knew it was a conflict between my wireless card and the AEBSn.
    I am now using the WPA2 encryption for the AEBS without issue and connecting many different types of hardware; three iPod Touches, two MSI Wind Netbooks (Win XP SP3), one IBM T41 (Win XP SP2) wirelessly and both my 20" iMac and Dell 8250 Win XP (SP2) by ethernet
    The MSI Winds are brand new and they would connect to the AEBSn but couldn't get an IP address from the internet (Limited or No Connectivity error message). The AEBSn was using WEP encryption. After doing a little research I found that WEP was a very common cause of this error message so I switched the AEBSn to WPA2 and everything works fine now.
    Don't assume that because you can't connect via OPEN it isn't a encryption issue because my Winds wouldn't connect that way either...it wasn't until I changed to the WPA2 Personal that they connected.
    You may also need to change the program that handles the WLAN connection, sometimes Windows handles it better but for the newest addition to our household, the MSI Winds, I am using the Realtek utility that matches the WLAN card and everything is hunky dory...
    Finally sometimes firewalls will prevent getting the IP address...doesn't happen often but it has happened to me so I would double-check that by turning off the Windows Firewall and just verify that it isn't the firewall (that's never been a problem with my Apple AEBSn but it was a problem with an older Dlink g model).
