A word of caution:
the Amazon Appstore checks for Kindle Fire support AFTER it accepts app updates. So a developer can unknowingly break KF support, and still get app updates accepted into the store!
Here is an e-mail I just sent to Amazon's KF team:
FYI, there is a significant loophole in your submission pipeline:
1) All my apps use Adobe AIR.
2) For the longest time, they were all compiled with AIR 2.7 so there was no problem. I got a bunch of downloads, including from Kindle Fire users.
3) A week ago, I updated most of my apps to AIR 3.1, and broke Kindle Fire support, without my realizing it, because I didn't know that the KF only supports AIR 2.7. Unfortunately, all the updates with broken KF support were accepted into the store!!!
4) Now I am getting users complaining that their apps no longer work on Kindle Fire.
What should have happened: NONE of the updates should have been accepted after it was realized by your review team that they broke Kindle Fire support, while previous versions worked fine on it and KF users downloaded them. Reviewing KF support separately, after the initial review/acceptance, is not a good process!
In any case, I have re-submitted all my apps with the release note 'Restored Kindle Fire support'. What I did was use 'captive runtime' for compiling all my AIR 3.1 apps, which normally means that the app will not require an external AIR runtime to function. Hopefully, this will work this time. If not, I am going to have to re-compile everything using AIR 2.7, which is a major drag since some of the features I depended on are part of AIR 3.1.

Office 2013 product key for Miix 2 and other SST devices

With the 8" "SST" tablets, Microsoft has included a free version of Office 2013 Home and Student edition. I have a Miix 2 and want to reinstall a clean version Windows and install a clean version of Office.
How do I obtain the license key from Lenovo? I did not have a key in the box when I purchased the device.
This reference article is not relevant since the "SST" devices include a free license and it is only available through Lenovo. I've already reached out to Microsoft and Amazon.com (the reseller in my case) and neither can provide the key.
I'm currently not able to restore from the recovery partition.

Are in app purchases available for download on family sharing

Are in app purchases available for download in family sharing

No. From Which purchased content can I share using Family Sharing - Apple Support:
There are a few things that you can't share:
Songs added to iTunes Match from outside the iTunes Store
In-App Purchases
Items that are no longer available on the iTunes Store
Items that were hidden
Apps that aren't shareable

My iPad won't let me sign into my Apple ID when I try and download an app it asks for my id and password and when i type it in the iPad displays a message saying cannot connect to iTunes Store. However when i do this on my phone it works perfectly.

My iPad won't let me sign into my Apple ID when I try and download an app it asks for my id and password and when i type it in the iPad displays a message saying cannot connect to iTunes Store. However when i do this on my phone it works perfectly. Even when i sign in and out.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so how can I fix this?

Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it. So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID). If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

Flex mobile app for Kindle Fire? is it possible?

Hi, I read this in the kindle amazon developer faq, is it possible to develop Flex 4.6 mobile apps for Kindle fire? even thought it doesn't show up in the
list of devices?
any Gotcha's I need to look out for?
Is Adobe AIR pre-installed on Kindle Fire?
Yes, developers can publish Adobe AIR 3 applications for the Kindle Fire by packaging them as ‘captive runtime’ applications. However, these captive runtime applications will not support on-device debugging.
thanks,

You should also be able to access your docs (even without the Pages app on your iMac) by logging into iCloud.com and using the Pages for iCloud beta app via your browser.
(By the way your iPad uses iOS and not OS X)

HT4009 How do I cancel my subscription to NEJM iPad edition I did an in-app purchase with my apple ID and cannot find a way to discontinue the subscription.

I purchased numbers for my mac and my iPad. It is asking me to purchase it again (for the 3rd time) for my iPhone. Is that correct?

You only need to purchase Numbers once for each OS. Have you tried connecting your iPhone to your Mac via iTunes & adding Numbers there?
Eric,
The iOS versions of the iWork apps are "universal' & there is no reason to have to buy the iPhone version first.

My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application"

My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application" and "<app> could not be downloaded at this time - Done or Retry".
It's not an iTunes login / password issue because sometimes one or two of the Apps will download and the others stall with the blank progress bar. The internet connection is working fine in all other respects.
Sometimes, many restarts later the downloads will complete. Is this a known bug? Is Apple working on it? Any fixes?

Do you have a lot of apps? Did you use a lot of apps recently? If so, many of them may still be resident in memory even if you aren't currently using them. Double-tap the home key and you should see the app tray with a list of most recently used programs. Press and hold the icons in the tray and remove the ones you don't use often to remove them from memory. Powering off and then back on might also help.
My wife's iPod does that sometimes, and it's usually because we run out of memory due to apps remaining in memory even when not used. The suggestion above is how we normally fix the problems.

I would like to buy my boyfriend the iphone 5. He has an upgrade - but can I purchase it for Christmas now and get money back when he activates and uses his upgrade?

Or purchase an Apple Gift Card for him to use to get a phone at Apple after Christmas. He gets the card as the Christmas gift and can go get the phone himself. It would cost you the same amount of money.

When I purchased ringtones for my texts and two of them dont play when someone texts me,but plays when they call

Hi Kel134,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are having microphone issues on your iPhone when you place a call to someone and they cannot hear you unless you activate the speaker function. In this situation I would recommend the steps in the following article to help isolate and resolve the situation.
iPhone: Microphone issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5183
Resolve the issue
Follow these steps, testing after each.
Make sure nothing is plugged in to the jack connector.
Make sure nothing is blocking any of the microphones (refer to the pictures below to find your device's microphones). Check for these:
Dirt or debris
A screen protector or case
When you're holding your phone next to your ear, make sure you don't block the microphone with your fingers or shoulder and make sure to speak into the microphone
Turn the iPhone off and then on.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
If necessary, find general iPhone hardware troubleshooting suggestions.
For further assistance, contact Apple Support.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

I have PSTouch v1.3. How to get v1.4 for Kindle Fire HD?

Hi, I bought PSTouch for my Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tab, went through some of the tutorials, and went to Adobe Headquarters in San Francico when they gave a very good demo on it.
   So, I've paid the $9.95 and have enjoyed it. (It seems to behave differently now that my Samsung 10.1 Tab was upgraded from Honeycomb to Ice Cream Sandwich but that's a side issue.)
BUT, the main thing -- I have a Kindle Fire HD 7" and my 8.9" version is coming next week.
Google Play tells me that the PS Touch app (they are on v1.3 and the KFire version is v1.4) is compatible with my Samsung 10.1 and is already installed.
Amazon says its v1.4 version is compatible with my Kindle Fire HD 7" and my Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tab (and I've paid for the latter).
The Google Play site will not recognize Amazon Kindle Fires of any type.   Therefore, the only way for me to get this latest v1.4 for Kindle Fire HD at Amazon is to pay Amazon *another* $9.95 to be able to download this v1.4 update.
   Is there ANY way that you know of that I can just get the v1.4 update for my Kindle Fire without paying a 2nd time for PS Touch? Thanks.

Hello. I felt the same frustration a couple of weeks ago- after downloading what was supp.-to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. So I opted for FF 3.6 at, at least until I could decipher FF4 - which I still have not! As I recall, I simply Googled : Firefox 3.6 or Firefox 3.6 version downloads and a link for that version was listed.
