Still waiting on Apple Developer account approval after 6 weeks - any way to escalate?

Submitted my Apple Developer account application on April 9. It's now May 18... over six weeks with no approval at this point. I had to resubmit on May 8 due to verification issues, but even accounting for that, the wait feels unreasonable.

Every time I email/call support they state "higher than normal applicant volume," but I keep seeing people on here say they got approved within 2-3 days. So what gives?

Has anyone successfully escalated this? Any recommendations or workarounds that actually moved the needle?

MacBook Pro lid won’t fully close - hinge too loose?? Looking for easy fixes

The bottom-right corner of my MacBook Pro lifts slightly and won’t sit flush when closed. It’s like the hinge on that side has loosened over time and doesn’t have enough tension to keep the lid down.

What I know / what I’ve ruled out:

- I had a case on it - pretty sure that contributed to the issue, won’t be using one again

- Slammed closed my laptop with a notebook inside (for content, yes incredibly stupid hindsight)

- I’m not comfortable disassembling the laptop to tighten the hinge myself

- The screen is fragile so I’ve been babying it to avoid making things worse

My questions:

1.	Are there any easy, non-invasive fixes for this?

2.	Is this worth repairing, or am I looking at buying a replacement?

3.	How do I prevent this from happening again?

Any advice appreciated - thanks!

Applied to the Apple Developer Program on April 10th and still haven't heard anything. 

I know wait times have been longer lately with the influx of developers, but three weeks feels excessive. I've checked my spam folder and my enrollment status shows nothing pending on my end.

Has anyone dealt with this? Is this normal at this point, or should I be escalating? And if so, what's the best way to actually get a human response from Apple? Their support feels like a black hole.

Any help appreciated.

I've been trying to connect my Facebook business page to the Amazon Influencer Program application and I keep hitting this error:

"You don't currently have a live Facebook page attached to your account. Please update your account or apply using an alternative social media option."

But the thing is - my page is 100% live. It's my best-performing platform which is exactly why I'm trying to connect it instead of my other socials.

Here's everything I've already tried:

- Default browser

- Incognito mode

- Logged out and back in

Nothing is working. I'm pretty sure the issue is Amazon keeps pulling my personal Facebook profile instead of my business page, but I can't figure out how to force it to grab the right one.

Has anyone successfully connected a Facebook business page to the Amazon Influencer application? What actually worked for you? Would really appreciate any help before I give up and apply through a platform with way less reach for me.
