- When you set up an Apple Genius Bar appointment, you can get face-to-face tech support when it’s best for your schedule.
- You can make a Genius Bar appointment by visiting support.apple.com and following the steps below.
- You can also get tech assistance by mailing your product to Apple or speaking with an Apple expert over the phone, online chat, or email.
- Visit Business Insider’s Tech Reference library for more stories.
When your Apple devices or their software aren’t working the way they should, there are various ways to get in touch with an Apple expert to resolve your issue.
For hardware repairs, you can mail your product to an Apple Repair Center or take it to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. For general questions, you can talk to someone via online chat, phone, or email.
But if you’re looking for in-person tech support without the waiting, set up a Genius Bar appointment to show an Apple expert precisely what’s going on and learn about your options for resolving your issue.
While you can make a Genius Bar appointment in-store, due to Apple stores’ high customer traffic, it’s a good idea to make one before you arrive to get the quickest and most hassle-free one-on-one assistance.
Here’s how it’s done.
