  • Why do we have to pay to upgrade? WTH

    Not only have the iTunes song prices went up but now we have to pay to upgrade?
    Maybe I've been out of the loop...But i'd really like to know why are users having to pay for it. And at $9.99?

    I like it how everyone says its an option. I guess living is working on becoming an option. The reality though is far more difficult and easier to understand. An option properly interpreted in this corporate envirornment is we need more money. We have alot, but we need more. Apple is like most of society in marketing itself as a great business for people, but like or more so than M$ they need more. Now M$ charges more for their OS, or did until recently, they also had a business model that was screwy and painful. An OS is something that is required.
    The Touch/Phone software 1.0 should have been called a beta the 2.0 was just about there, without cut and paste and 3.0 is really an initial release. While Apple might market it differently now, its not just wallstreet and DC that there is false advertising. Going On.
    Now they are saying that 3.0 software is just an option, than it had better never to be included because that reveals its beyond an option, its not a game after all

  • Why do i have to pay to continue iPhoto

    i use iPhoto for my pictures. have been for years.
    why ois it not a free app and that photo app is the only 

    Why do you think iPhoto is not free?
    What happened? Did you just upgrade to Yosemite and iPhoto is gone from the Dock?
    Look into your Applications folder. Is iPhoto there? Then drag it back to the Dock and try to launch it.
    If the iPhoto icon is crossed out, you need to update to iPhoto 9.6.1. Only that version is fully compatible with MacOS X 10.10.3.
    Apple stopped selling iPhoto, but anyone who bought iPhoto from the AppStore or updated it to a version sold at the App Store (iPhoto 9.4.5 or later) will be able to reinstall from the App Store by downloading from the Purchases tab.
    If you have any version of iPhoto, that has been updated from the AppStore and is associated with your Apple ID, try to reinstall from the "Purchases" page. 
    Unhide iPhoto, if it is hidden on your Purchases page (See this link: Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases)
    Trash the incompatible iPhoto version, but don't empty the Trash.
    Reload your Purchases page at the App Store with ⌘R
    Then download from that page.
    The step "Trash the incompatible iPhoto version, but don't empty the Trash."  must not be skipped. If Spotlight sees a version of iPhoto installed, the AppStore will try to update instead of reinstall, which does not work.

  • HT4236 Ever since I got the iTunes upgrade, iPhoto does not open and take the photos from my iPhone.  I have the older version of iPhoto, so Photo Stream does not work.  Can you please help?

    Ever since I got the iTunes upgrade, iPhoto does not open and get pictures from my iPhone.  How do I fix this?  Thanks.

    You can stop new photos being automatically added to Photostream in iPhoto from iPhoto preferences > Photostream.

  • Why do we have to pay to upgrade, just to download the latest version of I-Tunes, when u can do it free on a P.C

    Why is it we have to go to the trouble of paying for and upgrading the OS version, i currently have 10.4.11, just to download the latest I-Tunes onto my Mac. We have a P.C running I-Tunes and we can download the latest version without the "upgrade". Our I-phones/I-Touches work on the P.C without a problem.

    Surprisingly enough... I think this is the first time I've seen that question asked.  Apple regularly makes significant changes to the underlying code in their OS when they release new versions.  This sometimes breaks compatibility with earlier versions of software/applications.  This helps to keep the operating system lean and avoids the performance issues which can build up over time with attempting to maintain compatibility with older versions of software.  Microsoft cannot make significant changes to thier underlying code as they need to maintain backwards compatability for quite a few years (mostly to support the vast majority of businesses that run on the Windows platform).  Apple needs to regularly update iTunes in order to address new features/hardware, but it also updates it to be compatible with newer versions of the OS (nearly every update to OS X comes with an update to iTunes).  Unfortunately, sometimes the latest version may no longer be compatible with older versions of the OS.

  • I have a mac 10.5.8, Why do i have to pay for the 10.6 update?

    Friends of mine have Mac's and had the update with no hassle free of charge, so why do i have to pay?

    Hi,
    The current upgrade to Snow Leopard is only $29.00 available here.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    The Apple Discussions TOU prevents us from discussing when the next upgrade will be available or how much it will cost.
    See: Terms of Use
    There's no guarantee you won't be able to upgrade directly from Leopard v10.5 to v10.7. You are better off upgrading to Snow Leopard now especially if you want to use the Mac App Store.

  • Why should I have to PAY Apple Support to help me with an issue that the iO6 caused to begin with????

    Would somebody please explain to me why I should have to PAY Apple Support to help me with an issue that THEY caused to begin with??? I still cannot connect to WiFi with my iPhone since the upgrade yesterday.  Will they pay for my data overages??? I have tried every suggestion that has been on the Apple Forums...and none of them work. Then when I tried contacting Apple..I found out I have to PAY for their help.  Are they kidding me??

    But it's Apple's fault I'm having a problem...not mine. It's not right.

    You must contact iTunes support to get the problem resolved.
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    If there is a problem with your account or payment info, you cannot
    download anything (including free apps or updates) until the matter
    is resolved.
    In countries where the iTunes Store only sells apps, the accepted payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Other payment types such as gift cards, store credit, monthly allowances, ClickandBuy, and PayPal are not accepted. Depending on your App Store country, prices may be listed in your local currency, US Dollars, or Euros.    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5552

  • Verizon's failure, why do I have to pay?

    As a long-time - and still current - customer of Verizon, I'm shocked at how poorly I am being treated. I cancelled my phone in December because my company gave me a phone (also Verizon). At that time I gave Verizon my new mailing address, email, and phone number- which they did not update in their system. So they continued to mail my final bill to my old address, which never made it to me, until now.
    They did not email, they did not call; they instead sent the bill to collections. I called Verizon and paid the outstanding bill, come to find out after the fact that I am also required to pay the fee for collections. They, however, did not tell me this at the time I made my payment (another mistake by Verizon), I was informed by the collection agency that I am required to pay them or my credit report will be negatively affected. Verizon dropped the ball. They did not send the bill to the right address, they did not call, they did not email. The sent it to collections.
    Of course no one at Verizon will work with me, a good customer. I'm waiting for someone's supervisor to call, yet I have little faith that they will give a crap about little ol' me. I just want Verizon to take some accountability for their shortcomings in this situation. Why do I have to pay for their mistake? What more should I have done? This is unfair.

    I verified my information over the phone with a customer service representative when I called to cancel my account. I'm not sure how I could have verified that they properly put this into the system, other than getting verbal confirmation - which I did. They got the new email address correct, I know this because when I called this week to settle my bill, I received a confirmation to the correct email address. However, the mailing address apparently was not updated properly - as per my request - in the system. If you go into MyVerizon under Account Profile, your billing address is listed along with the option to change it. By making changes to your account, you have real time confirmation of the changes. - So you're saying not to trust the customer service representatives? I'm required to make sure they do simple tasks properly? Besides, I was canceling my account - why would I then go online to change my account that I just cancelled - especially since I just verbally gave my new information? Again, the root of this issue that you are not responding to goes back to the fact that the customer service representative did not do as I requested and update my address - which is why I never received notification. Had this been done properly, none of this would have happened.
    I just received a pile of mail from the post office of mail that did not get transferred to my new address - of which included the bill from Verizon and the notification from collections. I had assumed that the lack of correspondence - via mail, email and phone - from Verizon meant that my account was settled. Personally, I don't make it a habit of calling businesses and asking them if I owe them money. I expect them to contact me. Unless you sign up for email notifications from Verizon for you bill, they will not send it via that method. It appears that they DID try to contact you when they sent the bill to your old address. It also appears that you failed to use a FREE service from the US Postal Service which forwards your mail to a new address for up to a year. I have done this in the past, it works and only delays mail for a few days. Plenty of time to get your final bill in time for payment without being overdue. I can understand not contacting businesses to see if you owe them money, but you cancelled service. If I were to cancel service, I would assume that I either owed money or due a refund and would make sure which it was. - I was set up to receive email notifications from Verizon - a service I used for that account for years.  I did have my mail forwarded through the post office, but some was still delivered to the old address anyway and it just made it's way to me now. Verizon's lack of contact with me lead me to believe that either 1)the account was settled, or 2)any remaining balance was transferred to my new account - which I do not see the bill for as my company pays for it.
    Why would Verizon not try to contact me via email or phone? Sending an overdue bill to collections is a big deal - it affects my credit report. Does Verizon care so little about it's customers that they wouldn't even try to contact by email before making such a drastic move?Even if simply to verify the mailing address?This seems to be as much your failing(if not more) as it is Verizon's failing. As you say, it is YOUR credit report, not Verizon's. You have more of a stake in this than they do, why wouldn't you follow up in this matter? Even if simply to verify the mailing address? - Again, going back to the root of this issue - CUSTOMER SERVICE. I should be able to expect that if I tell someone my new address, it will be reflected in the system. I should be able to assume that I would be notified by email for a matter like this, especially since they have my email and have permission to use it and had been using it for years to notify me of bills, why stop now? Why is the buck passed to me to pay this new fee for a mistake that originated with Verizon? Why can't Verizon admit any wrong doing at the root of this issue - where they dropped the ball?

  • Why do i have to pay £25 to end my contract?

    Hiya
    I was wondering if anyone can tell me why i have to pay a £25 administration fee because my contract has come to an end and i dont want to continue it. Of course i am used to BTs hidden fees but i dont think this is fair as i cant see what i am paying for. I agreed to 12months and in that time i have paid over the odds anyway so why should i have to pay more now the contract is up? has anyone else been told they have to pay this?
    thanks

    You agreed to the T&C's when you signed up with BT Broadband, if you had requested a MAC to move to another ISP then there would be no fee.
    Just looked at the T&C's I see they are putting it up to £30 from October, its amazing how much it costs to push a couple of buttons.
    Just to be clear, this charge isn't just BTBroadband, and it involves rather more than just pushing a couple of buttons !
    It's a charge made to all Service Providers, for the cost incurred in physically disconnecting the line from the DSL equipment, so that somebody else can use it.  Openreach don't do these things for nothing !
    If a MAC is used to migrate to another Service Provider, the actual cessation is deferred until the provision of the broadband service through A.N.Other ISP, and is rolled up into the provision cost that's charged to the new ISP - who often doesn't pass this cost on to the customer directly, but it's recouped in the course of the 12/18/24 month minimum term that the new customer agrees to.

  • Why do I have to pay more?

    So I want to buy a Production PRemium CS6.
    It costs 1899$ in the US and almost 2200$ in Russia. And Adobe does not allow me to buy it in the US store for I have registere my account in Russia.
    What the ...? It's digital download, why do I have to pay some "resellers" (can I really call them resellers?) for a link to Adobe servers?
    So generally speaking, Adobe guys, you do understand that if there's a product that costs 300$ less somewhere else people will go and buy there.
    And if it is forbidden to buy there (why pay more), there're always such great resources as demonoid?

    Adobe charges different amounts for their software in different countries. Part of this is due to support costs, infrastructure costs, and taxes in each country. Another part is due to what Adobe thinks the market will bear.  Complaints have raged for years on the different costs for Adobe software in different countries. Adobe has never officially addressed the cost differential in an official response in these forums. If you want to make your feelings known to Adobe corporate, then I would urge you to write at:

  • Why do I have to pay to get help for Itunes?

    First off, why do I have to pay to get help?
    That is absolutely ridiculous when it is someone's JOB to be a "support" for this.
    I've had a reoccuring problem of my music not playing on my IPhone. I fixed it the first time by taking off all the music then re-syncing it and it was all good. This time I am trying to take all of the music off so I can try to do the same thing as before because this is happening yet AGAIN and now my ITunes isn't taking the music off and it is re-syncing it back and it isn't taking the music off in the first place. Why is it doing this? Well I'm basically venting to a community while getting no help from experts. Thank you for nothing Apple.

    Apple provides telephone support for their hardware products at no charge for 90 days after purchase. If you are beyond that period and do not have AppleCare on your device, then you will be charged for the support call. If you don't want to pay, you can either make an appointment at an Apple Store, if you have one in your area, where you will be helped at no charge, or you can post details of the problem here where perhaps we, your fellow users, can assist.
    I'm basically venting to a community while getting no help from experts.
    You're getting no help because you're just venting, and most people here just ignore rants. You haven't posted sufficient details about your issue for anyone to offer much in the way of assistance.
    Posting the same complaint twice does little good, by the way.
    Regards.

    iTunes Plus is the name for the option in iTunes that allows customers to buy music at the iTunes Store that is free from digital rights management, or DRM.
    Digital Rights Management, or DRM, is designed to prevent unauthorized sharing of files. This especially became a big concern for the music industry after the rise of Napster, Limewire, and Kazaa.
    DRM, even the DRM used by Apple on iTunes Store content, prevented that. Apple's DRM allowed users to share files on only up to 5 computers.
    According to TUAW, the new iTunes Plus songs have information embedded in them that identifies the user who bought and shared them by name.
    This means that if you share your music and record companies want to track you down and sue for you copyright infringement, it's going to be easy.
    This may help you understand why you would need iTunes Plus - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1711.
    It may be that Android required that type of file to be able to let it sync.  See here - http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html.
