Big question at Apple!!!!!!

Can someone tell me from Apple why the **** in Greece the Iphone costs double the price of the US stores???

Because your country's import laws won't allow Apple to do that without adding on the VAT and other import duties, which is part of why the price is higher in your country. Also the US Apple Store sells different models of iPhone then they do in Greece.
Also, if you're seeing prices for the iPhone 5S in Greece, those are being quoted by unauthorized resellers who are bringing in iPhones from other countries (if they'll deliver anything to you at all; many are fradulent offers) and are charging a premium price for those who just can't wait. Apple has not yet released the iPhone 5S in Greece so official pricing is not yet available.
If you really want to understand why official prices are higher in your country, talk to a local economist or expert on international trade. But the bottom line is that if you don't like the price, don't buy the product.

The Big question...

I am currently running windows XP, using a 20” Phillips flat screen as my monitor. I have no issues what so ever with this monitor using XP. I am running from the VGA out on my laptop (company PC, IBM) straight into my monitor. TV DVI is type DVI-I.
I want a Mac Mini!!! So… The big question is.. Will I be able to use this monitor? As stated above, I have no issues with XP. The Mini comes with a mini DVI to VGA adapter. Shouldn’t I be able to plug right into this adapter and go using the cable I already have?
Thanks much!
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Indeed, given the presence of a VGA connector on the monitor and the DVI/VGA supplied with the mini, you should be able to plug the two things together and have them work with no problem. Unfortunately, without knowing the exact model of screen and there being someone posting here that has tried the same combination, it's impossible to tell you with absolute certainty that it will work - very high probability, but not certainty.
How readily the combination works depends to a great extent on whether the display outputs a standard signal which identifies it and the settings it requires, such that the mini can detect it. If it does, it'll work and offer you a range of suitable and compatible settings. If it doesn't, you may need to use a third-party utility such as SwitchResX - which isn't easy but many have used with success.
If the display also has DVI input, that's another option too of course.

BIG QUESTION Q MARK from Quick Time

Hi, I need some help. I get the question mark in the QT logo. I tried everything posted before.
I tried the System Folder.
I tried the QT preference.
I 'unmarked' the flash thingy.
I installed the Flash 9.
I used the Disk Utilities.
I got the Preference Treatment.
And still get the big question Mark in the QT logo.
What other solution do you have?
Thank you.

Peacekeeper227, To Apple Discussions.
Which browser & version are you using?
Quit QuickTime.
Open User (Home)/Library/Preferences and delete any .plist file with QuickTime in its name. Don't worry as a new one will be created.
Open System Preferences/QuickTime and see if the window and tabs work as they should.
The following post should be helpful also: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=779076&tstart=0

Big Question Mark

We turned on our iMac this morning and there is just a big question mark on a folder. We are not able to do anything on the computer - it appears to be frozen.
What should we do?

Hi
Insert the installer Disk that came with the mac (the gray one), reboot and hold down the C key. At the language screen click the right arrow. At the next screen select Disk utility from the Utilities Menu. Can you see the internal hard drive any more?
If you can't the drive has failed and you need to replace it. If you don't have a backup you've lost all your data unless you want to pay for a Data Recovery Specialist and see if they can get the data off for you.
If you can see the hard drive select the Repair Disk option. Hopefully this might get things working again.
This is a question that has been asked many many times before. You could browse the forum for further options as to what to do thereafter. One useful resource is Apple's own User Tips Forum which is here:

Browse this forum and you should find more pertinent advice.

Hello AndrewsAFCx,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
If you cannot remember your security questions for your Apple ID, I would recommend these steps outlined in the article named:
Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
All the best,
Sterling

i had recently followed orders to restore my iPhone 3gs (iOS 6.1) from a question on apple support. However it was working fine before that, it's just that my phone didn't have signal. So it said to restore my iPhone and now it says that the Activation server is temporarily unavailable and when i plugged it into my mac, it said that i ddn't have a sim card installed. What can I do to fix this besides bring it to the store? it also bugs me because this answer was supposed to work but it just messed my phone up even more. This has already happened once and i had to take it to the store. What should I do to fix this? Thank you so much for all answers. i really appreciate.

no so i dont know what happened

Preloader and Document Class BIG question (yeap please help)

Hy,
I know that this its a question posted many, many times, but
after searching the net, reading a lot of books and searching this
forum too, I cant get out with a solution. If I'd say for sure
there is no possibility to create something like this, I just go
back to old methods but is not the scope of Adobe with AS3 to
encourage the use of OOP principle or not?
The problem:
I have a single fla file (AS3) with a single frame on
timeline, frame that its there when you will create the file with
flash. In the library I have different symbols, that for simplicity
are only jpg image, (BitmapData) checked for export for
ActionScript and exported on frame one. An external .as file called
DocumentClass its off course my Document Class
This its all that I want to do with the fla, the goal its to
create, animate etc. only with AS3 in external classes, no timeline
script. I don't want to load external files, XML, or else in this
movie. I just want a single swf after compilation, no additional
files.
Ok, how do I create a preloader that will take care of
starting the logic after the whole swf its loaded and in the same
time shows the user a percentage or a load bar or something that
its not the blank screen when the swf its downloading. I want to do
this without another swf that load this swf, or timeline scripts,
or place all the content on second frame and then gotoAndStop to
the third frame. All this are not solution but cheap tricks, that
are against all this OOP principle that I just continue to read in
books and here from guru programmers.
The big question is:
It is possible to create a preloader, when use a document
class with your fla? And if yes, how?
I know that the Document Class its not instantiated if its
not fully loaded, if that's true when the document class will be
fully loaded? maybe after the whole movie its loaded? And, if its
true, it will never show a percentage bar "while" the movie its
loaded. And if that's true WHY use a document class anyway?
Thank you for reading this and I really wait to get some
answer.

I am pretty sure you cannot do self preloader with one frame
and all the objects in the library. I guess the key here is
one-frame design. Screen refreshes (renders) only when all the
scripts in the frame are executed - this is a very important thing
to understand about how Flash works. Yes, you can force screen
refresh with updateAfterEvent() method but it is attached to a
handful of events only (MouseEvent and TimerEvent) but, again, all
this functionality is available only after first frame scripts are
executed. Thus, it seems like the only way to create preloader from
within SWF is to use multiple frames and set library objects to
load in later (not first) frame.
quote:
And if that's true WHY use a document class anyway?
Well, preloader is the last thing that would be on my mind in
terms of using AS3 ability to link DocumentClass to the top movie.
This feature allows for very sophisticated architectural
approaches. It has no connection to preloader as to any other
features developer wants to implement. Neither it depends on or
negates timeline. As a matter of fact, although I love one-frame
applications, I find on numerous occasions that my application
would be more efficient if I used several (at least two) frames.
gotoAndStop is not deprecated. It is a valid MovieClip class'
method. After all, having only one frame doesn't mean not having
frames at all - there is one already. Frames are fundament of
Flash. AS3 did introduce frameless entities like Sprite, etc. but
it doesn't mean that frames are going anywhere.
I would agree that timeline code is inferior to
classed/packaged (read: better organized) code but, still, how is
it not OOP? Frame is an Object, right? Why using timeline is cheap
and not a solution?
On a side note, I see too many times how some authors (and
managers) are pushing their agenda (or close mindedness) onto their
audience with no real substantiation. Claiming that timeline in
Flash is not valid architectural decision from OOP standpoint is
totally wrong. As wrong as strict adherence to design patterns. I
don't think there is sharply defined "right" or "wrong" in
programming. One finds the best optimal solution. The goal is to
create something that works fine. Unless, of course, the process is
the goal - but very few of us can afford focusing on the process.

A big thankyou to Apple

Hi Everyone,
Well after almost 18 months of constant work, 2 versions of Pages and numerous backups, Thomas Strange 3 is finished. Sorry I can't say the real title yet the publisher still wants to keep it a mystery.
Anyway, I have to say a big thanks to Apple for creating an application that makes the process of writing so much easier. Unfortunately I've now had to save the document as Word so that the editor can do his bit. I still can't convince him to get a computer that just works.
I wish everyone on the list a pleasant break and new year. I do drop in often though I've been a bit lack of posting of late.
Cheers
Chris

Hi, I am new to the site and a new iMac user. (prev pc with microsoft office and microsoft works.
Congratulations!! I want to write. I aologize if you have heard this many times.
I "journal" and want to use home computer and laptop. I currently have a HP laptop with Micrpsoft Works. I tried writing a file in AppleWorks6 on my Mac and emailed to myself. Likewise I wrote something on the laptop and emailed it. My laptop opened the Appleworks file but it made no sense, my iMac will not open the text from the HP. It said something like no application. I tried apple works, wouldn't open, and there is a 30 day trial on iWork but it would not open, so I may have done it incorrectly. Bottom line is I want to work on the same thing from both computers. I am seriously wondering about getting a macbook for this. And if I do, what program works? What did you do??? Thank You!! Sandy Bowling

Security question for Apple ID

Why would the security question for Apple ID be different to those I answered when I set up the account.

You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.
Whichever method you use, you probably won't get a response until the 26th. If you absolutely must make a purchase before then, create a new Apple ID; you won't be able to transfer previous purchases or iTunes Store credit to it.

Big Thanks to Apple Care! Good News Post

99% of the post here are people with problems so i thought I would post some good news. Last week my iPhone got the White Screen of Death!!! I called the 1-800 number. I was told I get a new one mailed to me for $29 or I could go get one at a local Mac Store (that was over 2 hours away) I decided to travel to the store in Atlanta. 2 hours on Saturday. Got back with the new phone and guess what. The WiFi doesn't work!! My wife's phone and daughter's touch finds wifi easy but my new phone, NOTHING!!! I called today and was upset and told them I could NOT drive 2 hours again and can't see why I should pay $29 for a shipping when THEY give me a BROKE phone! They waved the free, sending me a new phone again over night!! They were VERY easy to talk and deal with! I thought for sure I would have the fight for the fee to be waved. They did place a credit hold on my credit card but that is just to make sure I send my phone back. So a BIG thanks to Apple Care!

Well, LukeD , that's one of the nicest pieces of feedback, I've seen on these boards!
Many thanks for the kind words. Such things matter far more to each of us, I suspect, than any acknowledgment or not from Apple!
And there are plenty of others who contribute here greatly (too numerous to name) , too, of course and make it a place worth coming back to for us all.
Cheers
Rod

Plz help me to answer the security question of apple id

plz help me to answer the security questions of apple id coz i have a great problem that i couldn't buy the itunes music with out using security questions.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
