Where is help when you need it? Sure, I try my best to answer many questions that can help solve a tech mystery for you. Though sometimes our smartphones, tablets, and computers have issues that we just cannot fix on our own.
Apple has a solution to this problem with Apple Support, and you can schedule a session with them to get help with whatever tech issues you’re running into.
What can Apple Support help me with?
Apple has an entire webpage dedicated solely to helping people fix their devices. On the main page, you have the option of showing which device it is that you need assistance with whether it’s your iPhone, iPad, macOS computer, Apple Watch, AirPods, Apple Music, or Apple Smart TV.
You can also choose one of the main 3 topics that most people have questions about, which include forgetting your Apple ID or password, device repair, and billing and subscriptions.

The site also gives information if you wish to learn more about Apple’s device protection plan known as AppleCare+, as well as details on how to trade in an old Apple device.
What if I have an issue that I can’t solve on my own?
There are a few options you can choose if you have a question that you can’t figure out on your own, or if you simply want to learn more about how to best use your device. The first option they give is to sign up for a session at your nearest Apple Store to teach you more about privacy protection for your iPhone.
