***? Why can't I just re subscribe to my magazine?

This seems so lame? Why can't apple just let me purchase using any of my Apple IDs?
I wouldn't have had two if I didn't sign up for the lame MobileMe. I also would have understood all of this had they explained when I purchased anything on the iPad that chose to use my other apple ID as a default. Where did that come from?
Now I can't even pretend to buy for the first time using the other apple ID.
This is driving me crazy.
I did try to contact apple thru the email support. It didn't work.
I tried to change my ID, but it keeps going back to the other ID.
Please, someone help.

If you don't see a Subscriptions section, then you have not purchased any subscriptions using that Apple ID.
To change the Apple ID that you are using in the App Store app, open the app to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap your Apple ID and sign out. Then tap again and sign in with the other Apple ID. You will be informed that for the next 90 days this is the only Apple ID that can be used on this device in the App Store. After you have signed in with this other Apple ID, follow the instructions to view the account so that you can maintain the subscriptions.

  • Why can't I just use my debit card for adding my child to family share?!

    I want to use my child on family share but can't because I don't need or want a credit card, my bank has fraud protection, who actually just called me about fraud because I purchased the newest iPhone! I don't like credit cards. Why can't I just use my debit card as usual? Kids can get credit cards just as easily as they can debit cards! This is ridiculous. Why isn't there another option to verify I am the parent?! I am so beyond angry right now. Like I am being punished for not owning a credit card!! Otherwise there will be another way to do this. A person should have the freedom to use their chosen form of payment without missing out on all the options available. Honestly even if I wanted a credit card I haven't enough credit because of past mistakes. So this is not making me happy at all.

    Mad Parent,
    I feel your pain. We refuse to have credit cards, too; yet it's required in order to create a child's apple id. I will most definitely be leaving feedback with Apple. This is absolutely ridiculous that we can't just use our debit cards! Mine is a VISA. I use it to make CREDIT CARD transactions everywhere else, why not be able to use it the same way here!?
    I just had to restore my sons phone because he forgot his 4-digit password and got it disabled. I didn't have it already on my itunes so my only option was to restore it. I wanted to create his own apple id so he didn't have to keep using mine. Because every time he downloads a new game it automatically ends up on MY device as well, not just his. Anyway, he needs his own apple id. But, apparently, that won't be happening until Apple gets their heads out of their butts and figures out how to serve ALL of their customers!
    Signed,
    Equally Mad Parent

  • HT201471 Why can't I just type in my apple serial number and identify which ipad that I have?

    Why can't I just type in an ipad serial number and find out what model it is?  This used to be a function of the Apple Tech Specs.  Why has it been removed?  If it is in a different place, where is it?

    Have you tried here? This will tell you which model of iPad you have when you enter the serial number.

  • Why can't I just use DreamWeaver?

    I purchased a subscription to DreamWeaver nearly a year ago, but every time I try to open the program, it tells me that my trial period has expired. When I follow the instructions to "License this Software," it tells me to log in and asks me for a serial number. When I key in the serial number--the exact serial number that's listed with my username and password--it tells me the serial number is invalid. Why can't I just use the software? I've been paying a monthly fee for 11 months now, and I have to go through this charade every time I triy to use the software. Been using computers for 30 years and never experienced anything like this. Any advice?

    Hi JohnLynnBob,
    You should delete all the Adobe entries from the 'hosts' file in your computer.
    The location of hosts file is
    For windows :-- C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (Open it with notepad)
    For Mac :-- Open finder window ---> click on Go on the top ---> Go to folder --->Type '/etc' ---> Press enter --- hosts ( open it with text edit)
    If you see any Adobe entries in the hosts file delete them, save the file, and then launch the product ---> license this software ---> sign in ---> the subscription will be activated.
    Thanks

  • Why can't I just right click on the thumbnails and set the websites I want?

    I love the thumbnail idea, but why can't I just right click on the thumbnails and set the websites I want?
    Why do i have to wait for a recent one to come up?
    Of the 9 available, I would like to set 6 to website i can input by right clicking it and leave the rest for the recently visited.
    I ho[e you include that feature in your next update.
    Thank you
    P.S. 2 more issues
    1. Firefox is the only browser that always give me trouble attaching files in gmail. I still use firefox for all browsing but for mail attachments, I use others. And yes, I have done the "Clear cookies, reset, reinstall, clear cache, etc etc etc... none worked for more than a few days. no such problem with other browsers.
    2. Your new updated search bar (Top right hand corner) is nice but can be very irritating for the following reason:
    I like to highlight - copy (a word or phrase) - and paste it in the search bar. was fine with the older version, but now as soon as I right click to past, the menu pops up for me to select a search engine. Very irritating since I have yet to paste the copied word or phrase. I rather paste it and then have the option to click on the drop down menu. If you see this as not something masses would want, please place an option in setting for us to stop the suggestion for search engines coming up automatically when we try to right click in the side search bar to paste.

    You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different tile to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL.
    You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a tile on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.
    Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in prefs that you can find on the about:config page.
    *browser.newtabpage.pinned stores websites that you have pinned to a tile.
    *browser.newtabpage.blocked stores websites that you have removed by clicking the X button in a tile.
    So you can reset those prefs via the right-click context menu to reset changes made to the about:newtab page.

  • Why can't I just do this...

    I will be upgrading to a mac pro soon, and I was reading around on topics regarding itunes library transfer. Why can't I just drag my current user/music file to the user/music file on the new computer? I know I will be resetting all of my preferences, but this way sounds logical to me, will it work?
    thanks

    The migration works like this:
    When you first power on the Mac Pro, it opens a setup assistant. The setup assistant asks you if you want to transfer stuff from another Mac. It then has you put your old Mac into a special mode that allows it to be used as an external disk on the new Mac. More info is here and here.
    If your old computer doesn't have the data on it anymore, you may be out of luck though. I don't know if it will transfer settings from a FireWire disk. If the disk is an exact clone of the hard drive in your old Mac, it might.

  • Why can't I just download the old iPod app? The new music app offers NO podcast support?

    I just downloaded and installed os5, and now all of my podcasts are gone (everything else is fine), and there is no program that will play them when I download them again.
    What is going on? Why can't I just go get the old iPod app, it worked fine.

    Mine plays them fine ... But it did move the Podcast button off the main page. Click on "More" and then you should see them. You might want to make sure that iTunes is still syncing podcasts to your phone.
    If you click "edit" (top left) you can move it back to the bottom row.

  • Why can't I seem to subscribe to Export PDF from outside N America? I'm using the Uk site...

    Why can't I seem to subscribe to Export PDF from outside N America? I'm using the Uk site...

    Hi Steve,
    ExportPDF is definitely available in the United Kingdom. However, it's necessary that you have an Adobe ID, and credit card and billing address from the same country in which you're trying to purchase a subscription.
    If you are using an email address (Adobe ID), and credit card/billing address from the United Kingdom, and are still unable to subscribe, please let us know and we'll take it from there. (And, if you're receiving an error message when you try to subscribe, let us know. That will help us figure out what's going wrong.)
    Best,
    Sara

  • Why can't I just speak to somebody in Sales? Why don't Adobe have a sales number on their site?

    Why can't I just speak to somebody in Sales? Why don't Adobe have a sales number on their site?

    How about (menu>about Adobe>contact us): Contact | Adobe
    There is a "Purchase by phone" section, and a "Enterprise customers" section.

  • HT1449 Why can't I just move the entire iTunes folder?

    In reference to the linked article above, why can't I just move the entire iTunes folder and create an alias where it used to be ~/Music/iTunes instead of that tedious process?

    You can do that. You can copy the entire Music folder and create an alias for where it normally belongs. However, OS X will not allow you to delete the entire Music folder without a little extra work:
    Copy the /Home/Music/ folder to the desired new location. Create an alias to the new location and put the alias in the /Home/ folder. You will now have a "Music" and a "Music alias" in your /Home/ folder. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. At the prompt enter:
    sudo rm -rf ~/Music
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted (it will not be echoed) then press RETURN again. The old Music folder should disappear. Now rename the "Music alias" folder to "Music".

    That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

  • HT5312 If I can't remember my security questions, and don't have a rescue email address, why can't I just add a rescue email to my apple ID account without having to contact iTunes Support?

    If I can't remember my security questions, and don't have a rescue email address, why can't I just add a rescue email to my apple ID account without having to contact iTunes Support?

    I verify my identity just by logging in with my password, not being able to add a rescue email address without answering the security questions is just extra hastle and doesn't increase security. No one knows my password so how could they break into my account? I understand having security questions to change your password but not for adding an email address.
