When you start a chat session, your browser will open a new window for the chat. If you close it accidentally, you’ll have to go through the above steps all over again to chat with the agent. Wait time for the chat session is usually about 2 minutes or less, but this could vary depending on the time of the day.
Alternatively, you can talk to a live agent at Apple by calling Apple’s Technical Support number directly at 1-800-275-2273. Use this number if you’re impatient and you want to immediately talk to a human. Or, you can dial 1-800-692-7753 (1-800-MY-APPLE) and press 0 repeatedly if you don’t want to talk to the automated voice.
Chatting or talking to an actual person at Apple Support is usually the fastest way to resolve an issue you couldn’t successfully troubleshoot on your own, or with the help of third party sites and resources. Apple support reps are usually really helpful and well-trained, and should be able to assist you quickly.
Finally, it’s worth remembering that if you want to reach Apple support, you should make sure to do so directly through Apple.com, through Apple phone numbers, or through an Apple authorized support center.
