Apple ID works except for Apple Store

I tried to buy something from the on-line store but my login was refused. I typed in everything correctly.
Are the Apple ID for the store the same as that for Mobile Me and as for these discussion groups ?
It did not send any information to my email address either.
Why ? Help !

I have recently had 'this' problem. In my case it seems to be a failure of the store website. In my case and maybe not in yours I had also never used the store before and that meant that I had to use the same ID and PW to actually make an acquisition from the store to have the ID work on the store. There were brief moments when the store did work. Apple told me other bits of the site were flaky as well.

Downloaded itunes to a new computer (W-Vista) and my itunes work except for itunes store - it just shows a download page for itunes 10

I had itunes 8, and today downloaded the new itunes 10 and now i have issues.

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

IOS7 installed OK to my iPhone 4S and worked OK for a while but I have somehow managed to completely jam my iPhone 4s. The touch screen won't work except for up and down gestures (some of the time). I can't make or answer calls, I can't even power if off. I can't access the hardward ID which Apple support seems to require for Chat.
It might have happened when I was accessing my camera bypassing the lock screen!
All I know is that the thing is now useless and it looks like I will have to wait for the battery to run down to see if powering it back up afterwards will solve the problem.

I have since discovered the "hold down home key and power button" together for a few seconds and this seems to have worked .... phew!

I have set up all my mac devices to sync with iCloud and all work except for email. When I delete on one device, the delete doesn't occur on the other devices.

Thank you for your interest. I use apple mail to access my two accounts -I guess they are 3rd party accounts. One is a gmail acount and the other is a bigpond account. I admit to a lack of a high level of literacy when it comes to the language around all of this. For example, I am aware that I have an iCloud email account as I managed to set it up, but don't really understand the purpose of it as the last thing I need is yet another email account to oversee.

1. Nothing and live with it
2. Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

Turn it off and put it in a bag of rice for 5-7 days. You might get lucky but I wouldn't count on it.
You should have turned it off immediately and put it in rice but since you used it after getting wet, your chances are very slim.

I just recently installed mountain lion and an update for SMC firmware to install power nap. Everything is working except for the menu bar, the icons native to the system do not respond, and features like the clock and battery meter freeze.

I just recently installed mountain lion and an update for SMC firmware to install power nap. Everything is working except for the menu bar, the icons native to the system do not respond, and features like the clock and battery meter freeze.
When I mouse over the icons, the rainbow appears as if it was processing something. The problem is eliminated when I restart my computer but it comes back after a while.
I guess I cant make a backup copy and restore the whole disk because the copy would be made with this error.
Can anyone help me? Anyone with the same issue?

Update: I was able to test out the HDMI adapter as well and the same issue occured. I'm stumped. 10.8.1 maybe.

AFP Home Directories Working - Except for...

Hello. I have a test model for a network environment I am preparing to deploy. AFP is working - for the most part - properly and as expected in providing a network home for open directory users.
However I have three issues I have run into and still can't find the reasoning.
1) When creating a new home folder in the workgroup manager I get the error below. However it still creates the home and functions - for the most part - properly. This could be connected to any of the below two issues.
+Error of type Not a known DirStatus (-1) on line 2112 of /SourceCache/WorkgroupManager/WorkgroupManager-319.2.2/Plugins/UserAccounts/Use rAdvancedPluginView.mm+
2) When viewing the home folder in the finder it doesn't appear that home folder disc quotas are applying correctly. In the guest machine home folder it shows "9 items 26GB Available" at the bottom while the quota is set for 5GB per user.
3) Write and read (saving files) is working for all applications except for iWeb. About half way through a publish to a folder in iWeb it fails the publish very with a this disk is unwritable error. However it gets many of the files published before it finally fails. Sometimes, but not all times the AFP connection will drop completely and it will come up with an OS "server disconnected" dialogue box.
Looking at the AFP access log it shows the following hundreds and hundreds of time - probably about 700 or so times repeated. The error log shows no errors. It seems like it is just overloading the server somehow?

Recursive background color working except for jcombobox & jbutton

I'll start this as I usually do: I probably missing somethign obvious but...
I am trying to setup a gui where all of a JFrames child components change background and foreground color. It seems to be working fine except for my JCombobox (the currently selected item background, not the pulldown), my button backgrounds, my checkbox boxes, and my radio button circles. (all of these are appearing as white) (code below)
My suspicion is that I'll need to bail on this approach and look into making a custom laf. I have a strong suspicion that if at all possible, I don't want to go down that route: Is there any way I can make this approach work?
//this is code in my custom JFrame subclass
public void setComponentsColor ( Color foreColor, Color backColor ) {
     setContainersComponentsBackground( this.getContentPane(), foreColor, backColor );
protected void setContainersComponentsBackground ( Container container, Color foreColor, Color backColor ) {
     Component [] array = container.getComponents();
     for( int i = 0; i < array.length; i++ ) {
          array.setBackground( backColor );
          array[i].setForeground( foreColor );
//test to see if it is a container
          if( Container.class.isAssignableFrom( array[i].getClass()) ) {
               setContainersComponentsBackground( (Container)(array[i]), foreColor, backColor );
thanks all

So to be clearTo be clear you should include code the demonstates the incorrect behaviour. When I run the following code the North combobox is red and the South combobox is blue. It doesn't matter whether the dropdown is visible or not.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ComboBoxTemp extends JFrame
    public ComboBoxTemp()
        String[] items = { "a", "b", "c" };
        JComboBox comboBox1 = new JComboBox( items );
        comboBox1.setBackground( Color.red );
        comboBox1.setForeground( Color.white );
        getContentPane().add( comboBox1, BorderLayout.NORTH );
        JComboBox comboBox2 = new JComboBox( items );
        comboBox2.setEditable( true );
        comboBox2.getEditor().getEditorComponent().setBackground(Color.blue);
        comboBox2.getEditor().getEditorComponent().setForeground(Color.white);
        comboBox2.setBackground( Color.blue );
        comboBox2.setForeground( Color.white );
        getContentPane().add( comboBox2, BorderLayout.SOUTH );
    public static void main(String[] args)
        ComboBoxTemp frame = new ComboBoxTemp();
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
        frame.pack();
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
        frame.setVisible( true );
}

All internet working except for Safari

Hi,
All of my applications that use internet connection are working fine except for Safari. The blue bar just sits very near the begining and nothing much happens at all.
I tried to clear cache, history and cookies with no success.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
I have since found that all of a sudden it is working again. I didn't do anything except I removed one application (Wifi Finder) for other reasons.
BTW, I use my wireless router with several other devices and all of these were working fine.
Also, on my touch, I have the Twitter app, and when i click on a URL within a Twitter message, it opened the page within the Twitter app (I guess it uses a built-in browser). It was just Safari that was failing.
Anyway.... it is working now, but I have no idea what happened.
Thanks anyway.
