How to get a live operator on the telephone for iTunes

Have you ever tried to find a telephone number for iTunes? I recently had to contact iTunes about a downloading problem and successfully found their "hidden" telephone number. The necessary steps to get a live operator on the telephone are:

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• You need a little patience, but if you follow these steps, you will get a live person.

1. Dial 1-800-275-2273. This is the Apple Care Service and Support Line.

2. When you hear the recorded greeting, enter 70. The recording will most likely reject the entry at first. If so, try again.

3. When prompted to say the product that you need tech support for, say "iTunes."

4. When prompted to say what type of computer you're using, say "a Windows machine" or "Macintosh."

5. When prompted to say whether you're calling on behalf of a school, answer "yes" or "no."

6. Last step.... you will need to state the serial number of your iPod before you can proceed. This will get a live person on the telephone.

Tips & Warnings

• iTunes operators are available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time.
