Where is the iTunes CHAT support?

Hello folks,
I am experiencing a problem with purchasing on my registered $50 credit. iTunes only gives me the option to pay by credit card!
Anyhow, I want to chat with support... apparently such a feature is available:
"Please select a topic under your category for solutions and customer service options. Don't see what you're looking for? Help is also available by phone, email or chat."
But all I can find is email support.
Is there a CHAT URL someone can share with me?
Thank you.

I just received a reply from tech 'support'.
This is the third time I contacted Apple support in two years and, again... lame answers is all that I get back. Fortunately, as with this time, I solved the problem myself.
My original question:
========================================
Dear support,
I have a redeemed $50.00 credit on iTunes (as shown under the menu bar, to the left of my account name) but I cannot seem to use it.
When I attempt to make an iTunes purchase, my only option seems to be paying by credit card.
Please advise.
BTW, another person is also experiencing this same issues, as referenced here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2559241&tstart=0
Thank you,
=================================
And the Apple support reply (notice, as usual, the support person fails to understand the question and doesn't offer the correct answer (which you can find in the above link):
Thank you for contacting iTunes Store Customer Support. My name is F........ [removed] and I will be more than happy to assist you today.
Due to high volume we were unable to process your request within the committed time frame. I sincerely apologize for the delay in assisting you.
I understand that you have purchased iTunes Gift Card and if you tried to purchase, you're being charged on your Credit Card and not on iTunes Gift Card. I know that your purchases are valuable to you, and I can certainly imagine how this may be a little upsetting. I am sure this can be slightly annoying. Rest assured, I will do my best to resolve this issue for you as soon as possible.
Thank you for your recent purchase of iTunes Gift Card. I understand that the purchase was charged to your credit card, and that you would prefer to pay with your iTunes Gift Card instead of the credit card.
When you make a purchase on the iTunes Store, the purchase amount is automatically deducted from any store credit you may have. If there is no store credit, the purchase is charged to the credit card associated with the account. If there is insufficient store credit, that credit is used and the rest of the purchase amount is charged to your credit card.
Since your iTunes Gift Card was not redeemed before you made the purchase, your credit card was charged. I'm sorry for any inconvenience, but it is not possible to issue a refund to your credit card and deduct that amount from your store credit instead.
I hope you find this information helpful. Thank you for being a valued member of the iTunes family. Your experience with the iTunes Store is of utmost importance to us.
Have a good day!
Sincerely,
F.......... [removed]
iTunes Store Customer Support

  • Where is the online CHAT support area?

    Historically, the couple times I had problems I would simply do online chat support.
    Is that area located somewhere special? I cannot find it anymore. Is it only available for the first 90 days or something, and then even the icon dissappears?

    Yes, chat support is available only during the first 90 days of your Apple warranty, or for the duration of your AppleCare warranty, if you have one. You still can access the chat support area, however, even if you are outside your warrant. I don't know why it doesn't appear on the main support web page. To find it, navigate to the Support tab and enter "chat" in the search box, and this should locate the main chat support page where you will be prompted to sign in with your Apple ID.

    Hi, i am having an issue with a basic motion scroll effect.
    I already watched and read every tutorial out there regarding this topic and even tried the adobe chat support, but the guy on the other end of the line disconnected me…, probably he didn't understand what i wanted from him because english is not my native language, so a will try to be very, very clear about this one..
    please note, that i am new to muse, this is my first project ever.
    my idea is as following:
    when the customer comes to our companies site, he just sees our logo on a white Background. the logo consists of, say, four elements. when the customer scrolls down, the logo starts to disassamble: first the first part of the logo flies out the left side of the site, then the second part of the logo vanishes down, then the third part of the logo flies to the right, then the fourth part of the logo flies to the top and out of the customers view. given what i have seen, it is possible to do that….
    so…..
    now i have the four parts of my logo imported as png files into muse and assembled them in design view to build our companies logo. I select every one of the four parts and go into the scroll effects tab left beside the layers tab. first i enter the same values for every one of the four parts: initial motion: 0x and 0x again for the left and right motion; key position ( t-handle) : 0px; final motion: 0x and 0x again for the left and right value.
    now i hit "preview".: the logo is "pinned" at the correct position, i can scroll but the logo stays where it is. so far so good….
    now i select all the four elements again and go to the scroll effecs tab. at "final motion", i click the down arrows and enter 1x. I hit Preview…
    when i am scrolling down the WHOLE logo goes down…. so far so good.
    NOW i want the first part of the logo to go down, THEN the second part to go left, THEN the third part to go up, THEN the fourth part to go right.
    so i select ONLY the first part, go to the scroll motion tab, at "final motion" i click the left arrows, then i enter 1x.( the up-down value, i set to 0 again).. i hit Preview…
    the first part of the logo goes left as soon as i start scrolling, the other three parts still go down at the same time…
    NOW i want the second part of the logo to start moving, when the first part has left the scene, not at the same time as the first part.
    SO I SELECT THE SECOND PART AND DRAG ITS T-HANDLE (KEY POSITION) DOWN TO, LETS SAY, 200PX. SO IT STARTS MOVING ONLY AFTER THE CUSTOMER HAS REACHED THAT POINT, RIGHT?
    BUT WHEN I PREVIEW THAT ****, THE LOGO IS NOT TOGETHER ANYMORE, THE SECOND PART IS FLOATING ANYWHERE ELSE BUT WHERE IT SHOULD BE…..WTFF????
    short: when i move the t handle, the initial position of the object changes. thats what i said to the adobe employee, but he said, that thats the expected behavior….
    but if thats so, how can i have my four parts correctly together, so they form my logo, but with different t handles, so that they all start to move at different times??
    Pleeease help me, i am dying of frustration here…..:( that behavior cant be right, right?
    Thanks so much to everyone who actually reads this post and tries to help…….
    All the best,
    Niki Lapan

    Thank you so much for helping,
    But i really wonder how you did that. did you always switch between design view and preview view, then change the key position for 2px then switch back, to align the four letters? because i imagine that can get really frustrating, if you have a logo consisting of 58 parts instead of 4!:)
    Anyway thank you very much for your time and effort!!!!

  • Where is the iTunes Side Bar in ver12. I hate not having the Side Bar!@

    Where is the iTunes Side Bar in ver12. I hate not having the Side Bar!@
    Continually feel like I am in Apples 1984 video, except Apple replaces IBM as the "Big Brother", lets all walk in lock step to the Apple Reich!
    Give us back the iTunes side bar Apple!!!!

    There are multiple threads on this subject already. Why open a new  topic on the same subject?
    FYI the sidebar is not gone. You can activate it pressing on the button Playlists in the white topbar. The functionality of the sidebar is limited to managing playlists and content from iDevices. The rest has moved to the topbar als shown in the screenshot below.
    In iTunes 11 you had to scroll down to manage playlists. You don't have to do that anymore. Playlists are always directly beside you library-view, while other function stay directly available in the white top bar.
    Much better this way...

  • I just installed iOS 7.1 - where is the iTunes Internet radio app?

    I just installed iOS 7.1 - where is the iTunes Internet radio app?

    There is no separate app. It's included in the 'Music' app if Radio is available in your country (only US and Australia at this moment).
    If it is available in your country then open the Music app and select the Radio tab as described on the Apple website. If it is available in your country but don't seem Radio in the Music app then do this.

  • Where is the iTunes summary pane?

    Where is the iTunes summary pane?

    There isn't an iPad button on your iPad's iTunes (iTunes on the iPad is just the store) - you need to connect the iPad to your computer and open iTunes on your computer, and then select the iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (that will then give you a Summary pane/tab on the right-hand side of your computer's iTunes)

  • Upgraded to Lion - where are the Library & Application Support folders ?

    Where are the Library & Application Support folders that were available in Leopard 10.5.8 ?

    They're in the same location as before, but you need to use a method such as choosing Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and providing ~/Library/Application Support/ as the path.

    where is the 24/7 support?

    You mean, for the free Reader? Nowhere; there isn't such a thing. Here is a link link for general support: Contact Customer Care, although experience shows that you get better support in these forums. Only remember that they are user to user forums and no fellow user is under the obligation to reply any question, so you must be prepared to be patient at times, as Test Screen Name says.

  • Where is the iTunes visualizer?

    So where is the iTunes visualizer? Dont tell me the installer people making fixes are going to also come out with this before Apple?

    Welcome to the forums.
    There are lots of different forums here and sometimes it's confusing, but this is the forum for the iPhone (and issues with any music and video *on it*).
    You should post your question in the iTunes forum. Here's the main forum (just pick a subforum to post):
