    How can I use in app purchase without credit card using account balance

    Hi Kaijinfromtx,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    When you make an In App Purchase, the iTunes Store should use any gift balance or account credit first. You may still be asked to verify the payment information on your account before completing the purchase.
    You can find more information about iTunes Store billing in these articles:

  • HT4145 How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? I get a message saying it cannot be extended. Thank you. Arup

    How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? As we live in a rural area and our landline broadband speeds are awful, I have moved on to a 3G provider in the UK (EE/Orange) and set up the wireless modem which is working very well with an iMac. I have an Airport Extreme base station which was previously connected with an Ethernet cable to the landline router, and two Airport Express stations as Range Extenders. I would now like to use the Airport Extreme and the two Express stations to extend the range of the Alcatel WiFi device. I have tried automatic and manual set up with the Airport Utility but at the crucial step for selecting a network to extend, although the WiFi device is recognised, I get a message saying it cannot be extended.
    Thank you for any help you can provide.

    This is a problem with a lot of cheap end wifi hotspot like devices.. sometimes you can just swap the sim out to a real 3G wireless router.. that is a better approach IMHO than wireless repeater ever will be.
    In the meantime..
    Have a go with the suggestion.. place the express as wireless bridge. With a computer connected to the wifi from alcatel unit.. (I am amazed Alcatel still are in domestic market.. I thought they sold out). Set the express to join the wifi.. you do this in the airport utility.. old one is easy.. but in v6 you have to trust to luck so to speak and hope the auto setup works.. tell us if you have trouble.
    With the Express bridging.. you can then plug it by ethernet into the TC.. which will be in router bridge..
    ie
    You can then run the connection from wireless or ethernet on the TC.. and it will relay back to the alcatel for internet.. all a bit dodgy but who knows.. it may give you what you need.
    Wireless repeater is never particularly reliable in my experience. I would avoid it if possible.

  • How can I use LDAP searching from OSX Lion Server to Mozilla Thunderbird?

    How can I use LDAP searching from OSX Lion Server to Mozilla Thunderbird?  We have a super awesome contacts server that works great for our Mac users.  About 30% of our company are on PCs, and I would like to use the Mozilla Thunderbird mail client for them.  I see that in Thunderbird I can set up LDAP searching, and would like to have this feature point to our contacts server.  I've tried several different settings, and looked all over the web, but could not find the proper way to configure this.  Does anyone know if this can be done, or if not, would have a better suggestion?  Thank you for your time!!

    try double clicking keychain acces should launch and ask if you want to install login, system, System roots
    A dialog box will launch asking where to install the cert since your configuring a vpn I would put the certificate it in system.

  • How can I use an Imac as a display for a MacPro?

    I purchased a used 2009 MacPro with the understanding I could use my iMac as a monitor using a mini display cable.  I was under the impression that plugging in the mini display cable would cause the iMac to automatically default as a display for the MacPro.  In all of the examples I've seen are of a laptop using an iMac as a display.  I don't know how to access the Mac Pro's system preferences without a monitor to set up the iMac as a display.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    The feature seems to require Thunderbolt or 27" iMac.
    Then Command-F2 on the display Mac.

  • How can I use my imac as an extra monitor ?

    I want to connect my pc to my imac to use the mac as the monitor.  My video card only has a dvi slot

    Are there no cable solutions that I can use between the pc and imac.  This would be the third monitor.(The video card allows for 3 monitors to be used). The other 2 monitors are primary 5MP medical mmonitors and I don't want to add a pc monitor to my desk (for space reasons) , but would like to connect to the MAC.

  • How can I use my iMac (2007) as an external display to my MacBook Pro (2013) while in bootcamp?

    I have an old 2007 iMac laying around that is too slow for use as a second computer, however I could greatly benefit from a second monitor for what I'm doing on my 2013 MacBook Pro while in bootcamp's windows mode (Photoshop, Illustrator, Rhinoceros, etc.). A hardware solution would be ideal, however I am aware that this might not work for an iMac older than 2009. I would appreciate any software suggestions for allowing the use of my 2007 iMac as a second monitor for my 2013 MacBook Pro while on the windows side via bootcamp.
    Thanks,
    Andy

  • How can I use apple remote with Mountain Lion? Any Front Row alternative?

    Hi All,
    I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
    All great except for my Apple Remote control.
    Before, I could effectively control my iMac media with Apple Remote by using Front Row (music, photos, videos, good integration with iTunes and iPhoto).
    Now, as I understand, Front Row is expired.
    So, my Apple remote still works but with very limited options (just music, forward, backward and volume), and it's a real pity.
    Any of you Guys know how to restore Front Row?
    Otherwise maybe suggest an alternative (sth similar, should allow iMac media control by Apple Remote)?
    So far I tried to restore all Front Row files by a Time Capsule Snow Leopard backup (as indicatred on some other Communities).
    To restore was easy, but then, no way to launch it.
    Any advice will help!
    Thanks in advance/all the best.
    Marco

    Thanks Klaus1 for your prompt answer, although I went again through a dated discussion.
    I also got the feeling that somehow they want to push Apple TV..
    But, respectfully speaking towards our Friends at Apple, is it fair to promise what you don't deliver?
    I have choosen apple because I percive it's different.
    At currently published link: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC377Z/A/apple-remote
    they do promote the following:
    Apple Remote with Mac
    The Apple Remote gives you total command of your music, photos, videos and DVDs from anywhere in the room. It works with Front Row - a menu-based, full-screen interface - to make accessing the digital content on your Mac as simple as navigating your iPod. When you press the Menu button, your desktop fades and the sleek, Front Row interface takes its place, to give you control over your music in iTunes, your photos in iPhoto, the videos in your Videos folder and your DVDs. Turn up the volume. Shuffle. Skip to the next chapter on your DVD. Play a slide show, a home video that you made in iMovie, even a film trailer.
    Compatible with Apple products introduced in 2005 or later that have a built-in infrared (IR) receiver. Not compatible with MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    Cost for this is 15£ (19€).
    Now, I have iMac and Mac Book Pro (no retina display) both with Mountain Lion installed, and I understand both of them are not compatible with Front Row.
    Actually I adore apple tv and I got 2 at home nicely working on 2 different TVs.
    So I accomplished twice their wish of selling this product to me.
    Why shall they deceive me (and many others, as I read) by killing a still promised service?
    Should I read all forums before buying a trusted-brand-product like apple, to ensure that id does what declared?
    Don't get me wrong, I'm an enthusiast user of the whole apple family, since many years, and still I am.
    Just politely complaining for this decision, which creates to Many an easy avoidable disservice.
    Cheers
    Marco

  • Can I use my iMac with a thunderbolt connection as an Display for my new Mac Mini with thunderbolt ??

    Can I use my new Mac Mini with Leopard and thunderbolt in connection with my new iMac as a display ?

    If it's a 27" iMac. I don't believe Target Display Mode is supported on the 21" model. But not with a Mac Mini running Leopard. It would need to be running Lion.

  • How can I use the "gcc compiler and emacs editor" in Solaris 8 for Intel?

    I installed Solaris 8 for Intel to my desktop computer.
    After the installation, I found I couldn't use the companion software (the software CD included in the Multilinugal Media Kit for Solaris 8) - especially the emacs editor and gcc compilers.
    I certainly installed the companion software to my computer. And I can identify that those softwares are
    really installed to my system. In order to check out whether I installed them or not, I went to the "System Administrator" and opened the "Solaris Product Registry", in which I identified that all the files in
    the companion software were succesfully installed in my computer.
    However, when I open terminal or console box and tries to use those
    software, the system responds that "there is no emacs or gcc."
    Why I cannot use those things?
    Did I install the companion software wrong?
    I really don't understand why I can't use them.
    For your reference, I saw the directories "/usr/bin" and "usr/ccs/bin"
    too.
    In /usr/bin I typed
    #as
    and no such command.
    In /usr/ccs/bin
    #as
    and also no such command
    was what I had as a response.
    If I installed the companion software CD correctly and if they are installed somewhere in my computer,
    where I can find them and how I can use those softwares?
    Lastly, whenever I try to connect to my ISP via telnet mode, I see this
    message.
    "Try to connect ...
    connected to ***.***.***.*** (IP address of my ISP)
    Closed by foreign hosts."
    Is there any one who knows why this happens?
    Thanks for reading my question.

    gcc and emacs install in /opt/sfw. You should change your path statement to include /opt/sfw/bin and should obtain the FAQ from sunfreeware.com. The FAQ answers all your questions.
    I have installed gcc and gtk and am using both at this time.

  • How can I use Zune in OS X Lion?

    I bought a 27" iMac, best computer I've ever had, but my wife and I have Windows 7.5 Phones which requires Zune.  I have another PC in the house running on Windows but I would rather use the iMac.  I'm not seeing a Mac compatible version of Zune on Microsoft's website or am I just not seeing it???  If there's no Mac version of Zune, how do I get it working on my iMac?

    There is no Mac version of Microsoft's Zune software. Microsoft has provided a different option, though :
    Mac App Store - Windows Phone 7 Connector
    I know nothing about it, but it's worth trying. If you need assistance or other options, the Microsoft/Zune forums will probably be your best route.
    Regards.
