Apple's really starting to tick me off...

Ever since January of this year I've had a problem with Apple. Apparently, there was some sort of problem with their servers and someone else's data was mixed with mine. No, nobody tried to take my identity and nobody tried to make any purchases using my credit card.
However, someone else's credit card and address information somehow got mixed into my account information.
I went through the entire Apple Store and .Mac web sites and edited my information to make sure it was all correct again. Then I changed my passwords and my "hint" Q&A. I've even spoken with the folks at Apple several times.
Well, I just purchased a set of 13 photo albums (one for each student in the class) through iPhoto and low-and-behold they were charged to someone else's credit card. Yep, you guessed it...it's the same credit card that has been showing up in my account since January.
I tried to call Apple yet again to have them correct their system. I was told that iPhoto support is only available via email.
Quite honestly, I am getting tired of this game. I did not enter this credit card information into my account. I don't even know the credit card number except for the last 4 digits - which show up on my email order receipt. I suppose I could just shut up about it, and let someone else pay for my books. Except that is wrong.
I don't know where else to turn. I don't know who's card this really is. Apple doesn't seem able to correct the problem on their end.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to get this credit card off of my account, please let me know. I want to pay for my iPhoto books with my own card. And I do not want to get into any trouble because Apple can't seem to keep their credit card information straight.

Neal:
There was another users who had the same issue. Try searching the forums for "wrong credit card" or similar to see if you can find the thread. Maybe they posted how they got it straightened out.
Have you tried creating a totally new store account?
Do you Twango?

  • Mail is Starting to TICK me off!

    Still no images whether "Display Remote Images in HTML Messages" is checked or not.
    Hit "Download Images" Button still no images. Any help? Everything else running fine,
    network, web, etc.
    Many Thanks.

    Sorry, still using Eudora here... because Mail ticks me off more than it does you!
    But, try another User to see if it happens to them.
    If it does then some system wide plist is bad, if the new user works, I'd try dragging the other non-working user's files to the Desktop & reboot, resetup...

  • My Mac only shows Apple logo at start and then suddenly off

    Dear all,
    I am freaking out right now. I tried to turn on my iMac. It firstly showed the Apple logo on grey screen. Loading logo appeared below and then suddenly my iMac was off. Any idea what happened?
    Wahyu

    No, but it sounds like a hardware issue or perhaps a bad hard drive.
    If you boot in verbose mode (hold down command-V at boot) do you see some words that indicate where in the process it's failing?

  • Okay, I'm really starting to get pissed off. I've already dealt with this problem once.

    Photoshop is doing the same thing now that I had discussed in the previous thread. I just bought a new monitor, and now my Photoshop is all messed up. Just trying to save something I get an error saying there isn't enough RAM to do that. I have 12GB of RAM!
    Last time, I had to have CS connect to my computer remotely and they changed a bunch of things. It worked for about a day, and started again. I finally just uninstalled and reinstalled it. That seemed to fix it until now. Now the update fails every time I try. This is my livelihood, and I have deadlines I have to meet. I never had any problems with any previous versions of Photoshop.

    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,

  • Runtime Error R6031. Starting to tick me off

    I have windows 10 Technical Preview installed, and it worked great for a bit, Then i started getting this error. it happens on all of my programs i try to run, install, and even trying to uninstall programs. i decided to do a system refresh and everything
    was working fine again. reinstalled microsoft visual 13, as well as 12 to get a game running, and everything was still working fine. i've installed a few more harmless programs such as jdownloader. went through flawlessly.
    Now the error is back and i can't install anything at all. i deleted all the visual studios and restarted computer. still an issue. ive tried search for search protect and there isn't anything on my computer by that name.ed installing the latest visual studio
    and even running the .exe in compatibility mode. nothing seems to work. i don't want to have to keep refreshing my system everytime this happens. i am on build 10041. i was on 10049 and rolled back to 10041 because of this issue still happening

    Not that I can offer much assistance, but I will let you know what I did to shorten my installation time.  After I verified the system is working fine, I created a system image.  Installed an app and verified.  Installed another and verified
    again.  Did this 3 or 4 times, then I did another image backup which over wrote the last image.  Fine by me.  Then installed another and when I did eventually run into a critical error that caused the system to fail booting, I restored the image. 
    Took like 15 minutes, but saved hours of installs.  Incidentally my error was caused by installing Visual Studio 15 preview.  An error that I knew would happen since it happened the last time I installed it as well.

    Really? I need to check that out!
    You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
    I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.

    Iphone 4 will not start up....the apple icon comes on and then goes off and then comes on and then goes off continuously....any ideas?

    1. Try doing a hard reset:
    Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    2. If that doesn't solve it, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Using this article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
    If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
    Good luck

  • Apple music app starts automatically in car since ios 8 update on iPhone 5

    Since updating to iOS 8 on an iPhone 5 (thru iTunes on laptop), apple music app starts on its' own in the car using bluetooth.
    It would start playing music after I started the igniton-though I never use that app or leave music of any sort running in my car when I turn car off.
    Other times, it starts music if I use Google Maps or apples' iMessage . Quite annoying.

    II'm sorry, I thought I'd updated to 8.02 but I checked and I only have 8.0.  I'm afraid to update to 8.02 as I've been reading both good and bad about it, like it may fix my app problem but screw up my Wi-fi.   I don't know what to do.   I'm between a rock and a hard place.  

  • I reset my 3Gs, but now all I get is the Apple icon. It won't turn off or anything. Is it bricked? What is bricked? How do I fix it please. Can anyone help me please.

    Hi, I've just appear to have deleted my iphone and now all I'm getting is the Apple icon.
    It won't turn off or anything. I have tried holding in the off button and home button together,
    but the icon goes and comes back again. It won't connect to Itunes, as the device is not showing
    up. Can anyone HELP PLEASE. I think I need to reload Iphone back onto the device.

    Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the computer's USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. If you can't turn it off, please continue. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Then you can restore your phone:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • I updated my ipod touch, then a while later it said waiting for update then shut off. then started turning on and off, what do i do ?

    I updated my ipod touch, then a while later it said waiting for update then shut off. then started turning on and off, what do i do ?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Are the apple stores really open on Easter?

    Are the apple stores really open on Easter?
    On the store web page it says:
    April 04, 2010:
    10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.
    Apple is not giving their employees Easter off?

    What's a day off? People get those?
    Some Apple Retail Stores are open, some are closed. For example:
    http://www.apple.com/retail/thesummit/
    I recommend checking http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/ for Easter hours before heading to a particular store.
