Where are you physically located?
What country's Store are you using?
The two have to be the same and the payment method for your account also has to be associated (billing address, where iTunes gift card was purchased) with that country.
Has the ID(s) worked before for purchases for this country's store?

Hi..
here can I get a version of Safari 5.1 that is compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6.3?
Not possible. You need to update to v10.6.8
Click your Apple menu > Software Update
Or update using the this download > Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
Then restart your Mac.

uninstall and reinstall
there is a complicated way to work with just the mobile device support but its simpler just to uninstall itunes and related components and then reinstall itunes
ur music will be fine, u will just lose the playlists. but ur mobile device support will be working again.

Some have reported success simply by reinstalling the update.

Or download and apply, or reapply, the 10.6.8 Combo update first, then apply the Security Update again.

I'd suggest starting with the simplest of these fixes, so look them over first.

Hello!
I have my cod which needs some bug fixing. This is a drag and drop application where the user will drap the correct answer on corresponding targets. My problem here is, when one target is already occupied by an object i can still drop another object there, which shouldn't. can you please help me fix this?
thanks in advance!
Sincerely.
Milo
Here's my code:
var startX: Number;
var startY: Number;
var correct: Number = 0;
var attempt: Number = 0;
var currentlyDragged:MovieClip;
// collection of objects stored in array
// so that you can reference them programmatically
var objects:Array = [at1, in1, in2, in3, in4, in5, in6, in7, in8, on1, on2];
activateObjects();
// assigns listeners and other functionality to the objects in objects array
function activateObjects():void {
     for each(var mc:MovieClip in objects) {
          mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickObject);
          mc.buttonMode = true;
          // assign drop targets based on names
          switch(String(mc.name).substring(0, 2)) {
               case "at":
                    mc.dropTargets = [targetAT1];
               break;
               case "in":
                    mc.dropTargets = [targetIN1, targetIN2, targetIN3, targetIN4, targetIN5, targetIN6, targetIN7, targetIN8];
               break;
               case "on":
                    mc.dropTargets = [targetON1, targetON2];
               break;
function pickObject(e:MouseEvent):void {
     currentlyDragged = MovieClip(e.currentTarget);
     currentlyDragged.startDrag();
     startX = currentlyDragged.x;
     startY = currentlyDragged.y;
     stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
function dropObject(e:MouseEvent):void {
     stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
     stopDrag();
     var droppedOn:MovieClip;
     if (currentlyDragged.dropTarget) {
          // loop through targets belonging to the currently dragged clip
          for each(var mc:MovieClip in currentlyDragged.dropTargets) {
               if (currentlyDragged.hitTestObject(mc)) {
                    // get the target
                    droppedOn = mc;
                    currentlyDragged.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickObject);
                    currentlyDragged.buttonMode = false;
                    currentlyDragged.x = droppedOn.x;
                    currentlyDragged.y = droppedOn.y;
                    correct++;
                    correctCounter.text = String(correct);
                    // stop loop - it is not necessary to continue
                    break;
     attempt++;
     attemptCounter.text = String(attempt);
     // return to the initial position if there is no hit
     if (!droppedOn) {
        currentlyDragged.x = startX;
        currentlyDragged.y = startY;
     if (correct == objects.length) {
          var congrats:CongratsMC = new CongratsMC();
          // place i in the middle of the screen
          congrats.x = (stage.stageWidth - congrats.width) * .5;
          congrats.y = (stage.stageHeight - congrats.height) * .5;
          addChild(congrats);

Try the code below.
Also, use int instead of Number whenever possible - it is smaller and faster.
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
var startX:Number;
var startY:Number;
var correct:int = 0;
var attempt:int = 0;
var currentlyDragged:MovieClip;
// collection of objects stored in array
// so that you can reference them programmatically
var objects:Array = [at1, in1, in2, in3, in4, in5, in6, in7, in8, on1, on2];
var congrats = new CongratsMC();
congrats.addEventListener("close", closeCongrats);
activateObjects();
// assigns listeners and other functionality to the objects in objects array
function activateObjects():void {
     for each(var mc:MovieClip in objects) {
          mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickObject);
          mc.buttonMode = true;
          // assign drop targets based on names
          switch(String(mc.name).substring(0, 2)) {

This apple id cannot be used for the itunes store. please enter another apple id. How do I fix this?

How do i fix this?

Reports are that this is a problem with the iTunes Store that they're working on. Some people have had success after signing out of their account and back in. If that doesn't work for you, wait a few hours or perhaps until tomorrow and by then they may have the problem sorted out.
Regards.

In System Preferences, I can't log into iCloud. It tells me that either my AppleID or my password is wrong -- which it isn't. My MBP also won't let me update apps OR purchase apps -- same deal..tells me wrong ID or password. Yet I can manage acct. Help!

It's very frustrating.... I've uploaded all of my music to iMatch and I can get it all on my iPhone, but now on my MBP, it's all back on my computer and I'm unable to sync my phone with my computer (in iTunes, I get the rainbow wheel of death and have to force quit) with the cable for the inital set up (just got the phone) so that I can then do it with wifi in the future. ARGH! I've spent hours for the last 2 evenings with a great Apple Tech, but she hasn't been able to figure it out either -- said that she had another customer with the same problem....

She was as frustrated as I and was going to kick the problem "upstairs." She felt that by now iCloud had been out long enough for them to have resolved the issues without having to resort to fixes from the outside (so in essence, I would have to say that she agrees with you that they should be able to provide a resolution for their own software).
I have more than just that issue on my MBP (iPhoto keeps asking me to "upgrade" everytime I open it, old Safari windows open when I restart or turn the machine on from a shutdown....I think it's possessed. I'm able to do everything that I want to do, but it's very annoying....) and so I'll be working with her again when she returns to work on Monday. I do have to say that she doesn't rush and has spent at a minimum 2 hours each night for the last 2 nights with me over the phone (talk about califlower ear!)
She had me do a reinstall of Lion last night and as far as I can tell, it fixed nothing....

HT1222 I have a new pc with windows 7 and cn no loner connect myniphone or iPad says cannot be used because the required software is not installed run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes then install the 64 bit version ofnitunes where do I find that lin

How do I upgrade my iPhone 4s and mybipad to the windows 7 64 bit version of iTunes

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Every time I close a window my app tabs disappear. The requested solutions haven't worked. I haven't updated FF recently and this problem only just started today for no apparent reason. What's wrong? How do I fix this?

Starting today my app tabs started closing when I closed my browser. I have tried the suggested solutions but they haven't worked. I haven't updated FF recently. I do have to close my browser frequently because the internet service my family has is of low quality and constantly looses service. Every time it gets service again it asks you to close your browser and start again. App tabs help me keep my sessions when this happens.
PS I recently got a virus that infected my Window's Updater, so I can no longer shut down my computer unless I want it to infect my computer. Please find a solution that does not involve shutting down my computer.
PSS I am currently running Fire Fox 5.0 on Window's 7, if that helps.

It turns out that my hard drive was shot. I took my MacBook to the Apple Store on Wednesday, they kept it for analysis and repair. They replaced the hard drive, and I've already got it back (Friday; less than two days in total).
Although I did check my hard disk with the disk utility, it did not identify the problem.
Some other troubleshooting advice that I overlooked was to try reinstalling my OS and to try starting up in Safe Mode. Neither would have helped in this case, but they may be useful for someone else having similar problems.
Other advice - always make sure your data is backed up and that you Apple Care coverage is up to date.
