Calling AppleCare Support
Included in your Compressor package is documentation about the support options
available from Apple. Several levels of support are available, depending on your needs.
Whatever your issue, it’s a good idea to have the following information immediately
available. The more of this information you have ready to give to the support agents,
the faster they will be able to address your issue.
 The registration number that came with Compressor. This number is different from
the software serial number that is used to activate your copy of Compressor.
 Which version of Mac OS X you have installed. This information is available by
choosing About This Mac from the Apple menu.
 The version of Compressor you have installed, including updates if applicable. The
version number can be viewed by choosing Compressor > About Compressor.
 The model of computer you are using.
 How much RAM is installed in your computer, and how much is available to

Mac from the Apple menu in the Finder.
 What other third-party hardware is connected to or installed in the computer, and
who are the manufacturers. Include hard disks, video cards, and so on.
 Any third-party plug-ins or other software installed along with Compressor.
