A: You don't. Chimes don't mean very much even for late game and being obsessed with them will mean more trouble than anything. Go collect them when you're going to go somewhere important and they're on the way. The speed buff means that you'll be able to go collect them if they're slightly off the quickest way to your destination and you'll still reach there in time.

B: I'm not really sure what SS stands for in this situation. It usually means Summoner Spells, but from the rest of the sentence I think you're talking about his ult. In which case it can be difficult to know really when to use it and where to place it, it has got hundreds of uses. In general try and aim for enemies and not allies, don't use it on enemies which are already being attacked.

On any other support you'll want to use your CC on the squishies so that they can be focused down but in Bard's case try and aim to catch the tanky CC bots on the enemy team to leave the squishies isolated and defensless, using it on the squishies will just leave you with a lot of tanks to fight which you can't kill.

Use it on your allies if a lot of damage is incoming and you don't need to move very far.

C: That's mostly a fault of the AD player to be honest. He shouldn't be running off to leave a turret to fall if it would be defendable otherwise. Tell him to get his butt back here to help, with chat or with pings. If he still doesn't come back or can't get there in time then just abandon it, better to let the turret fall than die trying to defend it. Try and roam with him together, you might be able to set up a few good kills and if the tower was going to fall anyway then you might as well.
