Apple offering web chat for their iMac support.
Apple is testing a new web chat support service for iMac customers that’s available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Eligible iMac owners include those who purchased their iMac less than 90 days ago, or those who have purchased an AppleCare Protection Plan for their iMac.
On the site, Apple answers the question of “Why Web Chat?” with “It’s fast, it’s easy, it’s convenient, and you’ll get proactive, comprehensive help from a real live person right here in your browser. If you can’t find what you’re looking for on Apple’s iMac Support pages, give chat support a try. A support agent can even send you helpful web pages while you’re chatting.”
Browser requirements for the web chat are Safari 1.1 or later, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.2 or later, or Netscape 7.2 or later. Apple also supports web chats on Windows, listing Internet Explorer 5.0 or later as a supported browser.
#1 Kristl Waters says:I just got a imac about approx 1 1/2 months ago, & don’t know what I did but now every time I click on something there’s a voice that says what I’m clicking on. For example, if I open I-tunes the voice says something like opening I-tunes, closing I-tunes. The only time I don’t hear this voice is when I click on links in Safari or Internet Explorer. Seems like I activated some kind of voice command.
Could you tell me how I get this to stop or turn off?
#2 Rich Trouton says:Kristi,
It sounds like the VoiceOver support for the eyesight-impaired was turned on. To turn it off, go into System Preferences and click on “Universal Access” From there, look for VoiceOver (it should be on the “Seeing” tab) and turn it off. The voice should stop.
#3 Kristl says:I’m trying to create a website and I have a couple questions.
1st question: I can create a html.index page but all it will show is text. How do I transfer pictures so that my page shows pictures, grafics, clip art or images?
2nd questions: I have a imac & i think that it has a built in ftp program. Is thes true and if it is, where do i find the program & how do i use it to tranfer files.
The program that I have been using is One Button http://FTP.

#10 chazbo jones says:Just bought a new iMac and I’m happy as hell! You people at Apple just won’t stop, will ya?! Can I hook up wireless speakers to this thing (iMac 20″) or what? If so, please recommend something. Thanks! I’d like to invite “sexyhotbud” (Jenny #9) for a nice warm bubble bath with candles and the whole ‘ShaBang’ but don’t want to put my new ‘puter too close to the tub…… You get the idea, kids…

#12 Jamie Lahk says:Just bought a beautiful flatscreen imac running OS 10.4.9, I feel unworthy. It comes with a superdrive for burning DVDs. My family and I operate a small hotel. From time to time we get DVDs and documentaries featuring our hotel from guests. I would like to make copies for promotional purposes. The DVDs we get are not copy-protected so no ripping necessary. I assume one uploads video to HD then burns DVD copies but since I have never tried I don’t know where to start (I don’t even know which software, iDVD? iMovie?). If anyone can help pls email me at jamielahk@yahoo.com.
#13 Mike says:I have a early 2006 version of the Imac 800mhz. My three year old son got a hold of it and I don’t know what he broke if anything. When I boot up, all I get is a white screen. Are there any shortcut keys that my son might have hit to enable a pure white screen? I tried booting into safe mode and off of the CD, but I still get a white screen. I don’t even see the Apple logo in the beginning, but the screen is the same brightness. After a while the screen will go dark as if safe mode is enabled. When I move the mouse or keyboard controls safe mode becomes disabled and I get the white screen again. Did I lose my Graphics card?
Thanks
Mike
#14 Pete says:Hi,
I have a iMac G5 Power PC. I use Safari version 3.0.3 all the time & I rarely have problems with it. But recently I tried to buy something on a website, so I had to fill in an application form online. When I was at the half way stage of the application I was not able to submit any more information. I tried in a few more times & the same thing happened at the same stage. I also tried this with the Firefox & Realplayer browser’s but I got the same result.
My brother tried buying on the same site using his Dell computer with windows XP & didn’t have any problems.
I’m just wondering if anybody else has come across this problem before, & maybe someone might have a solution for this ?
Thank you
