Q: Apple has discontinued the one to one program. I need this program and cannot renew. Are they offering an alternative?

Apple is not allowing anyone to renew the one to one because they discontinued it. I was told that I would have one to one support for 3 years after I purchased my computer. ( with renewals) I really feel like Apple has let its customers down. We need one to one support for the products that we purchased. I would have returned my computer and never changed to Apple if it had not been for the one to one support that allowed me to understand how to use my imac, macbook air and iphone 6. I hope that Apple hears the complaints of the community and does something to fix this problem. At least let me finish out my renewal time. I use the workshops but they are not enough to help me personally. I feel taken advantage of by Apple at this point. There are many senior citizens out there that need this help as well.

iMac, also have macbook air and iphone6

    That last... please do.

    I have "my guy" who not only does independent service on Macs (ACMT certified & my only business with him is repair) but does "house calls" for coaching on all devices - he is very reasonable at $35-$125/hr (last I checked) depending on what exactly the job is.

    Apple's 1-1 pricing was based on "volume" of students - volume couldn't pay the coach's salary in my my estimation, thus was losing money at a rapid rate (I hope that Apple found another "position" for the poor coach!)

    I totally agree. Apple has always been known for its customer support. I feel Apple is getting away from what made them special. Without One to One, we could never learn all that an Apple product offers. What a shame. I've written several times to the company but have never ever received a response.

    "We" who? Certainly not most people or the program wouldn't have been abandoned.

     

    There lots of private consultants who you can hire to help you learn things about you aren't able to figure out on your own.
