I have changed country (which was a painful process in its own right) and now can't find my purchases, and when I try to download them again (as per the instructions) they no longer are available - how do I get them back??

Where do I find my hundreds of dollars of downloads I have done since 2005? I move countries for work regularly and now Iphones detect that you are not in the home country and make life very difficult, so you have to either register the new country and download all new songs again (a complete waste of time and energy) or not be able to update the Apps on the phone. Help - there must be an easier way!! (??) I took what I thought was the least painful option and changed country so I could get the apps on my phone, but lost my songs. This is pathetic for a the new Global world we live in...

"Where do I find my hundreds of dollars of downloads I have done since 2005?"
They will only be where you put them  If you are doing the very basics, then they will be on your computer and they will be in your backup copy of your computer.
The itunes store is not global at all, never has been. You cannot redownload your content from another country.  You can only use the countrys itunes store for the country that you are physically located.

  • I ordered a laptop on the 7th and on the 8th they took $80 off! How do I get credit back?

    On January 7th, 2008, I ordered a Thinkpad T61p. When I went on the website, the next day to look at the order status, I noticed that the same exact computer was $80 cheaper. It was less than 24 hrs after I had bought mine! Thats just not fair! Does anybody know what I have to do to get that $80 back, and credit back onto the credit card? Is there something I have to do online? I tried calling the Administrative support number, and I got put on the phone with somebody who sounded like they were calling directly from China... I could barely understand them due to them having such a thick accent. I'm not the most computer-savvy person, and if there is a quick fix to this, then any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    You can't blame the vendor for that.
    Perhaps, if you manage to speak to the right person, s/he might consider a price correction, but they are under NO obligation to do so!
    The vendor buys components etc. at a set price when he orders, calculates his resale price and hopefully sells it. What the consumer sometimes forgets is that the vendor can get very badly "burnt" by suppliers.
    I experienced once that all of the notebooks I had in stock devalued 12% over night If you then consider a retailer earns on hardware, when he is very very lucky, about 10%. You can imagine how happy I was as €10,000.00 stock investment was worth less than €9,000,00
    And then the customers came in who had bought units a week ago asking for some sort of rebate bacause of the price-fall.
    It IS a tough market. I'm just hoping the dollar will get stronger so that the prices go up in europe and I can recoup some of the losses

  • I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?

    I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Hi I have recently had my computer reset and now can't find my original playlist on itunes for my ipod how can I find this or how can I put my music from my ipod onto itunes

    Hi I have recently had my computer reset and now can't find my original playlist on itunes, how can I transfer it from my ipod into itunes, or how can I find the original one?

    Expanding on what The Fiend said, the license to play music from a CD is tied to and stays with the CD. So if you sell or give away the CDs, the license to play the music goes with them, at which point you legally no longer have the right to the tracks. You need to keep the CDs if you want to keep the music.
    As for transferring the tracks from your iPhone back to your computer so you don't have to re-import all your CDs, check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod/iPhone media recovery options:

  • I have lost the glyphs that sit on the left side of my bookmarks. How do I get them back?

    I have lost the glyphs that sit on the left side of my bookmarks. How do I get them back? They have been there, but as of a few days, they are gone.

    Hi carl82,
    Can you be more specific as to what is missing? What was the function of these ''glyphs''? You might want to try starting Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the ''Option'' key while Firefox is starting. If you disable all themes and add-ons and everything looks right again, you can try turning things back on one by one until you find the culprit.
    Do you mean the icons for your bookmarks are missing? If that's the case, you should take a look at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues#os=mac&browser=fx9 this article] that discusses some of the issues with the latest build of Firefox.
    There is some information in there that should help you to resolve your issue. Luckily, it is a very easy fix.
    Hopefully this helps!

    Hi Tgordineer,
    This sounds like a known issue reported here:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
    There was a workaround posted, but I've not tested it myself. Here are the steps.
    # Go into Yahoo Messenger Options - Change the Window in the dropdown to Tab and press OK.
    # Then go back and switch it to small window and press OK.
    Once the bug is officially resolved, you could try running a Nightly or Aurora build to use the fix early.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Ihave computer and ipod connected but they will not sync. How do I get them to sync?

    I have my computer and ipod connected but they will not sync. How do I get them to sync.?  I have done the previous action before but now I have a new ipod because my other ipod was stolen.

    Actually this happened to me today and although it would not let me play the file it allowed me to use that same file i had exported from iphotos but could not play and then it allowed me to open it in imovie (you can go to import and then get it from the desktop or wherever) although I made a couple of changes to it the main thing is once you drag it into the space to begin a new project you can then right click and select open in finder and that file actually plays......if its cause i made some changes to it i.e trimmed it slightly then its worth doing so.
