HT1918 How do you solve an issue with the card? I don't get the option of 'none' :(

How do you solve an issue with the card? I don't get the option of 'none'

I had this exact same problem with the new iPhone I bought on 1/4/13. The walk through they provide on how to do this is useless because it fails to explain that if you are already having the problem of not getting the "None" payment option with an Apple ID then you will need to create a completely new Apple ID.
I had to do this 7 times since I bought my iPhone on Friday until this morning to figure out how to finally be able to use the Home Sharing option in iTunes to put my music collection on my brand new $500.00 iPhone. Pretty pathetic if you ask me but since it made me so angry I want to make sure other know how to do this so you don't get as upset as I did.
#1 If your current or soon to be "old" Apple ID is not providing the option for "None" as a payment option then you need to make a brand new one. But you have to make it specifically how I tell you.
#2 You will need to use an email address that has not already been used for anything related to a previous Apple ID. You might need to make a brand new email address.
#3 Open iTunes, then open iTunes Store (upper right corner of iTunes).
#4 Click on App Store (upper center of screen).
#5 Scroll down the screen page until you see Top Free Apps on the right side.
#6 Choose any one of the FREE apps.
#7 You should either get the option to create a new Apple ID box, either that, or it will pop up with some kind of disclaimer and then it does the create new Apple ID.
Either way just create a new Apple ID when it gives you the option to and then when you get to the page that looks like the payment page the "None" payment option will finally be available.
Note: You will still have to fill out the information on the payment page. As long as you choose the "None" option it will not request any credit card information.
#8 You will be sent a confirmation email to the new email account. Just follow through with what ever it tells you and viola now you can use your Apple Device.
What a pain in the keester, eh?

  • How do you fix scaling issue with any video playback control bar (too small to see) on Firefox 28?

    Using a 3200x1800 dpi resolution lap top (Samsung Ultrabook 9 series), when I want to play videos on a webpage, the playback control bar (runs across the bottom of a given video for settings like play, pause, sound level, etc.) is too small to see. I tried scaling using various methods, Windows 8.1 OS, Firefox ad-ons like No squint with no success. Of course, these tools work to rescale everything else but the playback control bar. This is not a problem on IE as when you rescale, everything including the playback control bar
    rescales. Thanks

  • MBA how do you solve ram issues

    I have a mid 2012 macbook air and when i first got it (with lion) after a fresh restart the FreeMemory app showed that I have about 7GB free. Now after installing a bunch of software, moving to Mountain Lion and just using the laptop as normal, after restart I can get just 5.2GB and after opening a few apps Skype/Chrome/Outlook i get to half my ram.
    It is important for me to have more free ram, as I use many design apps. In the ActivityMonitor i can see that there are no apps that take up a lot of ram, but rather many small ones which add up.
    Is there an app, or some other sort of solution that will remove all these processes and show me what I can safely switch off. I can't reinstall the OS at the moment since I don't have the time to spend on setting up my work evironment and installing fresh software and updates.
    Any help will be much appreciated.

    Oh and one more thing which is a result of the above memory proble -> battery life when unplugged from the AC is going down.

  • Can you  buy from iTunes with gift cards rather than use a credit card?

    I have given my 17 year old nephew an ipod for his birthday and as he doesn't have a credit card can he use gift cards to buy from the iTunes store without one? Do you have to have a credit card to open an iTunes account? I wanted to give him a gift card to start him off with the iPod as he doesn't have many cd's to load on to it.

    Yes, he can create an account and make purchases with gift card.
    When he gets the gift card, have him open the iTunes store and click on Redeem at the top right under *Quick links*.
    Input the card number then select *Create new account*.
    Input the personal info and when it gets to credit card info, select None.

    For what it is worth I have noticed a similar issue from the iPad3 while at work and home. At work we have two Apple TV 3rd Generation installed and tied to our A/V system. I believe the issue has to do with a timeout on the broadcast saying "here I am" and allowing devices to connect.
    For example:
    At work we have several Wi-Fi SSID being broadcast from Cisco APs. The only one we can use with the Apple TV is the one that uses a WEP since the others are either setup to be hidden, require web page authentication, or have a login requirement from employees. Essentially, what I believe the issue is that the Apple TV periodically broadcasts a message to other iOS devices that support Mirroring. When the Apple TV does not get a response from a device it goes into a dormant mode and requires either a command from the remote control or a reboot. This has been tested with both the power management enabled and not enabled with the same results.
    As for when I come home, the Apple TV3 has not seen the device in some time and therefore is not broadcasting it's location information. A simple click of the circle or menu keys on the remote will give it the command to start broadcasting again and allow the iPad3 to see the Apple TV. When trying to Home Share the computer can not play (iTunes 11, Win8RTM) until the Apple TV is awoken then it will show up for mirroing.
    This may or may not assist you but, it hopefully explains how the issue may be happening.

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
    If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
    The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
              com.something.daemon.plist
    and
               com.something.helper.plist
    Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
    If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
    /Library/LaunchAgents
    In this folder, there may be a file named
              com.something.agent.plist
    where the string something is the same as before.
    If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
    Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
    Open this folder:
    /Library/Application Support
    If it has a subfolder named just
               something
    where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
    Finally, in this folder:
    /System/Library/Frameworks
    there may an item named exactly
                v.framework
    It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
    If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
    If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
    The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

    Local Mac shop said to hold down "c" after inserting disk to get "disk utility" to come up in order to wipe hard drive.  I can't seem to get it to do this.

    This W7 was purchased for using Fusion, as others did - per reviews from amazon.  The technician today called their contact at VMWare - Fusion not officially for use with Lion - even though I read at the VMWare support site that others have made it work.  Apparently my setup doesn't work. 
    Do you know how to do the proceedure for bringing up the disk utility when starting the disk?
    BTW, some of the windows applications I want to continue using are Incredimail, Calendarscope, Stamps.com and a few others I have used over many years.  What do you use for email and calendar?
    Wow, sounds like another reason to not use MS Windows.
    Regarding your Disk Utility question, please elablorate I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Disk Utilty is just that...a utility, it's something most users never have to use especially on a new computer. Let me know what you're trying to do there before I give you some instructions.
    As for as your Windows apps I would recommend using Mail and iCal, both come as part of OS X and are very robust tools. Don't discount the software built right into OS X it's very robust and powerful not all like the bloatware most Windows boxes ship with. Stamps.com well I'd look for another alternative. It's clear they don't support OS X which makes me a little suspicious that they're so behind the times. 
    Also if you have not been exposed to these links before I'd strongly recommend bookmarking them and using them. They're extermely useful!

    I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!
    I have created a navigation system on the master pages and set the presentation to links only mode. I also have other links scattered throughout the program, like a linkable table of contents, etc. Some of them work, some of them don't. Not sure why. Anyone out there having similar issues? Or have any idea on how I can solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Links should not create any problems in Keynote.  If they are set up correctly on text, the text will be underlined. Objects that have links will have a curved arrow bottom right, if you click the arrow a popup will display the link information.
    Try this repair for Keynote,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:

    delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application

    empty the trash:  Finder > Empty Trash

    Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
    When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in.

    Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive

    when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click  repair disc permissions

    when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart

  • How would you solve the following Synch Async scenario?

    Hi,
    I have the following use case and would like to know thoughts from the community on how to solve it -
    There is a web based portal sending a create order request to ESB and the ESB does some message processing and passes it to a CRM to complete the order processing and generate a order id to be sent back to the portal user.
    Non Functional Requirements -
    1) Reliability
    2) Performance in terms of response time to the user.
    Issues -
    1) The web service exposed by CRM takes a long time to process the request and it is not acceptable that the Portal end user waits for that long to get the Order ID back..
    2) If we make a SOAP/HTTP call from Portal --> ESB and then another SOAP/HTTP call from ESB ---> CRM then the reliability is compromised.
    Solution -
    The solution that we are proposing is as follows -
    1) Make a SOAP/HTTP call from Portal to ESB and then put the message in a JMS Queue which will persist it. This will provide reliability and QOS.
    2) Generate a random unique number (which will act as the order id for the user) inside the ESB and send it back to the user immediately after persisting the message in the queue. Also persist this interim order id in a database.
    3) Pick the message from the queue using MDB or Proxy service (specific to Oracle Service Bus because that is what we have as an ESB) and send the message to CRM.
    4) CRM takes its own time to process the request from MDB and sends the response (actual OrderID in CRM) which is then persisted corresponding to the row in step#2. Thus for future search by the user we can use this mapping to get the actual order details from CRM.
    I do not see this as a scenario which is unique or unusual, where an Asynch request needs to made to look as synch to the user. But the solution we are proposing seems to be crude to me and with loopholes (like how to handle scenarios where CRM returns an error etc.) which would require lot of effort to be fixed.
    Questions -
    1) What is your opinion about the solution and suggestions about a better/cleaner way to implement it?
    2) Is there any standard approach to solve such kind of issue without creating so much of complexity (where we have to write code to keep the mapping and take care of all other issues)?
    3) Is there any pattern that can help solve this problem?
    4) Have you ever faced this issue and how did you solve it?
    Regards
    Ananya

    Hi Ananya,
    If its not required to give Order ID to Portal user immediately, you can update Portal with Order ID in async manner.
    What I propose is,
    1. Let Portal call in Async manner, thread is released. (JMS can be used as well to improve reliability.)
    2. CRM takes the request and responds with order id or an error, calls webservice of AIA.
    3. AIA's WS then update Portal with Order ID or error in proper format.
    Thanks,
    Manish
