Share what you know and get recognised

Participate in the Apple Support Community to earn points, level up and get perks.

You can earn points when you provide helpful content, such as quality answers and User Tips or when community members upvote content they find helpful. Content can also be downvoted, but downvotes don’t decrease points or hurt your reputation.
