Any truth to Apple letting you re-downlaod music already purchased that somehow got lost...or inmy case, deleted

I moved my music files to an external harddrive that has since been corrupted. I can't retrieve my hundreds of songs and was really bummed about it until two people told me that Apple will honor a one time re-downloading deal for music that you already purchased. I need to get up on that for realz

Upgrade to 10.3 or later and go to the itunes store and then go to Purchases (NEW). You can redownload them as many times as needed with the new cloud network. I know what you mean, I recently had my iphone to die on me and i lost everything from the past 3 weeks since my last backup, but itunes let me redownload them. hope this helps

Can I re-downlaod music already purchased with another Apple ID?

I have an Apple ID separate from my family's so that I don't have all of their music I don't like. In the past, I was able to sign onto theirs with my iPhone and re-download songs they had that I didn't want to buy again. Then one day, it randomly said that my device could only be associated with one Apple ID and I could use another one in 90 days. I don't want to wait that long so I was wondering why this happened and is there a way I can still get their music? All of their music is on the computer and I honestly have no idea if I can put their music on my phone using said computer. Can I? If so, please give me steps how. Thank you.

There are several ways you can do this:

In Address Book, why does Apple let you create custom fields in the Template cards but not have them available for importing?

I open Address Book, go into Preferences, select Template and under the Names field (friend, assistant, father, etc) I add a custom field called "Principal".
I also add two more custom fields in the Email area.
Quit Address Book then relaunch. Add a new contact and the new custom fields, Principal, etc. are there. All good so far.
I have a Now Contact file with about 200 contacts in it. I export all fields as a Text file, Tab delimited. No problems there. With Address Book launched, select Import, pick the text file, leave Text Encoding on Automatic and click Open.
The window that shows the fields for Address Book and fields for the text file side by side opens. This is where you match up the correct fields for importing. If I go to one of the fields from the text file that I created a custom field for, click under the Address Book heading on the Do not import, scroll thru the Apple choices of fields, none of the custom fields show up. Only the original Apple ones are there. Why does Apple let you create them in the Template area but not have them available for importing? Does anyone have suggestions on getting around this?

While most likely not of interest to you, Spotlight can also tell you where the files it finds are located
Hover the mouse pointer over the name, and press Command-Option and the path to the file will be displayed.
As for opening a terminal session in the directory where a file is located, there is Applescripts that do just that as well as specific features in Lion/Mountain Lion terminal:

HT4314 Why wont apple let you disable or unregister from gamecenter!? why?

Why wont apple let you disable or unregister from gamecenter?! Iv done everything I can but games log into it reactivated its notifications aswell. It auto logs me back in...I want apple to let you unregister completely why not?? I have disabled all notifications from Gamecenter romoved all games listed, i deleted my email adress registered, i changed my user name...and loged out but games reactivate it, I also noticed it still keeps a record of your previous score and when reactivated relists all games on your handset again aswell.

I feel the same way -- I would REALLY like to remove this misbegotten piece of junk completely. I would SETTLE for being able to disable it -- although there are instructions for "disabling" it, it doesn't STAY disabled. I have followed the instructions, removed my email address (although it still uses my email address as the login and won't allow me to ACTUALLY remove it), made my profile private, then signed out... And the next time the device is powered back on, the account is logged in again and insisting on trying to connect to every game I play. So I deny access, "disable" it, sign out, etc, again... ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
When the rest of my family switched to android, I stubbornly stayed with my beloved iOS devices and my Macs, but this annoyance -- which WILL NOT go away -- almost makes me think I should reconsider. I HATE Game Center, and want it off my devices.

I just changed the hard drive on my computer and my music and videos that I got from my friend will not play because I don't remember his password. Any solutions????

If you are talking about your friend's iTunes password, you are not supposed to use or have his password or even his music,etc. in your computer...

Why does apple let you install the update if it's just going to fail?

I got the 3GS maybe a month ago. I had issues running updates on my old iphone (the original) and used to have to go into apple's genius bar in order to do updates. I was sort of hoping that the updates would run fine on the 3GS, but 3.1.2 failed for me.
Anyways, it gave me some error code and I followed the link to kb article TS1275: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275
From there I discovered that port 443 wasn't open on my computer and that was probably the problem. So I opened it up and I'm trying to run the update again (although so far nothing is happening).
My question is this: why would itunes let me try to run the update at all if I didn't meet the prerequisites? Since the update is obviously going to fail if port 443 is closed, why doesn't it verify that I have the port open before it tries to update?
I'm just a little peeved that I have to drive an hour to go see the geniuses (yet again).

I heart my ringtones! And I heart my iPhone too..
Just a lil' humor..
You can do 1 of two things..
1-Call At&t to make your ringer longer
2-Or you can try it yourself... (Found on another forum)
The following codes should allow you to control the delay from 5 to 30 seconds on any GSM phone:
* Status: *#61#[SEND] The status will report the delay (5, 10, 15.., up to 30) & the number where your calls are diverted if there is no answer.
* Activate: *61*[number]*[delay]#[SEND] Use the number that was reported by the status & the delay can be set to (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30) seconds.
* Cancel: ##61#[SEND

Will Apple let you upgrade your graphics card?

Hi There
About two mouths ago i order a new 27" imac (ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics with 512MB). i mention to my concerns about the graphic card inside the imac but at the time i could do anything about it, its was the best i could get. What i would like to know is will Apple let people upgrade there graphics cards from the old 4850 512mb to the new 5750 1GB...
Thanks

Actually the video card in the 27" iMac is not soldered on. But Apple does not support changing the video card, and the card in the new iMacs probably would not work in the previous model, so in essence your comment is correct.
Johnny, if makes you feel any better, this benchmark indicates that the 5750 doesn't significantly outperform the 4850. So you probably wouldn't see much benefit even if you could upgrade.
Regards.

Why won't Apple let you use a @me for Apple ID Primary email?

Hello everyone!
I already know that it is impossible at this point to change your primary Apple ID to a @me address. I have called Apple Support and they have already told me that it is not possible at this point.
Does anyone know why they won't let you use it?
Some people have told me that it is apart of your Apple ID, which i know it is. It is an alternate email address for it.
My problem is though is that all my purchases and Apple information goes to my old email address that got hacked.(My new one is the @me associated with my Apple ID)
Thanks
Ryan

If, as you said in your first post, there isn't an Apple Store you can get to, call Apple support and talk to them. As Tim suggested, it may be due to your having a repair order open already. If you call Apple, they should be able to get you set up.
Regards.

I can not get all my music to sync from my phone to the itunes on my laptop. It is only letting me sync the music I purchased from my phone on itunes to my laptop. Any way to be able to get all of it sync'd to my computer for a back up.

I am trying to sync all my music from my iphone to the itunes on my laptop but it is only allowing me to sync songs i have purchased from itunes on my phone. Is there a way to get all the songs I have on my phone to syn with my lap top? I dont want to loose any of my music but litterally half of my music will not sync to the itunes on my laptop.

How did you move the music to the external drive? What exactly is on the drive? The entire iTunes folder or only music? If it is the entire iTunes folder you can do the option+start suggestion earlier. If you copied only music and did so by dragging it there then you need to delete it again and consolidate/organize it there instead so iTunes tracks the move. iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

How do you sync new music not purchased in iTunes to my iPhone

Hey there,
I've always been able to sync all of my music (some purchased through iTunes, some from CDs, and some downloaded from YouTube and converted to MP3) without a problem. Recently I've noticed my new music that I've got from YouTube isn't syncing to my iPhone. It plays fine in iTunes though, and other music I've got using this method plays fine on my iPhone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

*iOS 8.2

Don't worry there is an easy fix to this,
your phone is probably not "synced" to the computer (just another dumb iTunes thing).
How to fix: 1. Plug your iPhone into your computer, then click on it when it appears in iTunes.
2. Under the "settings" tab in iTunes click music
3. At the top it should say "sync music" with a little check box next to it, If it is unchecked, click it.
4. at the bottom right of the page click "apply", a dialog box should appear telling you that you are going to erase your music (don't worry it doesn't actually erase),
5. click "ok" or "yes" whatever the box says to continue, then another dialog box should appear saying that if you conform you will be erasing all your iPhone's settings and content, (again don't worry it doesn't actually)
6. you should now be able to sync music onto your device (assuming is a supported format ex. mp3)

HT201272 Will Apple give me all the music I purchased from iTunes for my new computer?

My computer crashed so I bought a new one but my entire music library is gone. And to make matters worse it didn't back up on my external hard drive so I would like to get all the music I purchased from iTunes back on to my new computer. My only thought is I am at the mercy of Apple to get it...am I right? Thank you

Whether or not you'll be able to depends on what country you're in, and whether the music is still available in the iTunes Store.

Will Apple let you get refund/upgrade?

Bought ipod 9 months ago, returned for battery defect ($30 shipping/handling) new one lasted maybe two weeks, now scrolls and scrolls and won't play anything, reset many times. Now, just want a refund or upgrade, tired of dealing with defective mini. Has anyone tried this? What is Apple's response? It was my 13 year old's birthday present and she hasn't gotten much use out of it and says "everyone" at school has had a problem with their mini's and is tired of not being able to use it.

If you send your iPod back to Apple, either they'll fix the iPod and send back to you the same one or they'll replace the iPod with a refurbished one.

We have a second generation Ipod Touch that no longer works.Will Apple let you trade it in for a refurbished Ipod Touch?

I have a @nd gen Ipod touch that no longer works..Can I trade it in for a refurbished IPod?

See it this 10% discount covers a refurbished one. I know it covers purchase of a new one.

Does any version of InDesign let you set hyperlinks to open in new window?

I'm converting some InDesign books to pdf and epubs and my client wants the hyperlinks to open in new window when these files are viewed in browsers. so far no version I've tried has this capability.

It must be done in Acrobat. Ask in the Acrobat forums.
