Can't even get my iMac and don't know why

It is fairly impossible for me to find a forum that matches my particular issue. I thought maybe someone here could help me.
I was attempting to order a refurbished iMac from the apple.com/ca/ as I live in Canada. I don't have much money so any little bit helps and the $200 savings meant I could actually afford to replace my aging G4 Mac mini. The refurbished iMac I picked out was quoted online at $1099 canadian, the same unit is $999 on the American site. When I placed my order including all recycling fees and shipping I was quoted $1156 and with my tax rate that came to $1213.80. Which was just enough for me to afford. I was going to finally get that new iMac I've longed for. Sadly my order was declined. I promptly contacted my bank to find out what had gone they informed I had been charged $1346 because of exchange rate on the order I was making. Exchange rate on a price quoted in Canadian dollars??? I then contacted Apple sales by phone and told them my issue and they informed that all those prices are in Canadian funds and they too tried to place my order and once again it was declined and no one not the rep I was talking to not his support staff could explain why apple was charging an exchange rate on something that is clearly advertised in Canadian Dollars. In fact if this is an accurate cost it would mean that Apple is selling me a refurbished computer at the cost of a brand new Apple Computer but how am I even to trust that price to be accurate too. I feel deeply wronged here and lied to.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Unfortunately, this is a user to user technical help forum. This is not a site where you make contact with Apple. Nor is there anything that any of us here can do to change this.
What bank? Is this a Canadian or US bank?

  • Problem with uploading files to SharePoint 2013 in cloud using web services. Keep getting error message and don't know why.

    Hello everyone. I am having trouble writing a utility that uses SharePoint web services to upload a file and metatag it. It keeps throwing the following error message:
    "The request failed with the error message: -- <html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body> <h2>Object moved to <a href="/_forms/default.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fsites%2fgk%2f_vti_bin%2fcopy.asmx">here</a>.</h2>
    </body></html> --."
    Not sure why. I pass the file that I am going to upload to the subroutine and it is suppose to upload it to the appropriate library. I have burned several days on this problem and I am not sure what is going on. I would appreciate anyone that can point me in
    the right direction. Below is the subroutine that I have that is causing the problem. Obviously, I have stripped the name from the example.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If you want to upload a file to a library in SharePoint 2013 online, I suggest you use Client Object Model or REST API.
    The code snippets in the two threads below will be helpful:

    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/uksharepoint/archive/2013/04/20/uploading-files-using-the-rest-api-and-client-side-techniques.aspx
    You can handle the authentication with
    SharePointOnlineCredentials object:

    If it's running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, insert a Mac OS X install DVD, restart with the Option key held down, click on it, and use the Reset Password utility.
    If it's running Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Command and R keys held down, open the Terminal, and use the resetpassword command:

    If you are in the US call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a reasonable fee, they will supply a replacement set of system discs (if available).
    The discs will be for the original version of the OS that was pre-installed when the Mac was manufactured.

  • Help!(confused face) I'm new with flash and don't know why the timers don't work like i would expect

    I'm new with flash and don't know why the timers don't work like i would expect.  In VB.NET timers are how you move stuff, but it doesn't look like they are ideal for moving stuff in flash at all (really slow).  I'm making a game in which you throw a ball around the screen. i am using a timer to get the ball to move. this doesn't work well for 2 reasons; 1: the ball jumps alot, and 2: the timer should eventually run out of time.  If anyone can help, i'd be thrilled cus this is my first post here, so yeah

    Timing for movement would be more often dealt with using something that operates at the frame rate of the file.  The ENTER_FRAME event is usually selected for this purpose.
    stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveBall);
    function moveBall(evt:Event):void {
         // your positioning code
    You could use a Timer to control when to stop the listener from being active.

  • I am unable to open Organizer or Photo Editor this morning of elements 12 and don't know why.

    I am unable to open Organizer or Photo Editor in elements 12 this morning and don't know why.  Any ideas??

    OK,
    Good to hear that you are running at the moment.
    The causes for organizer and the editor to stop working are usually different. For both to be affected, I would tend to suspect disk space problems. Probably a good idea to check that you have plenty of free space.
    Please let us know if you have problems again and we can try troubleshooting.

  • I lost my HOME and REFRESH buttons and don't know why. Since I can't have them anymore please tell me in detail how I get rid of Mozilla Foxfire and let me know what all I'm going to lose in the process. Thanks, Neil

    I have used Mozilla Firefox for almost a year and it was good. Now I make on stupid mistake by upgrading to the new version and I lose my Home button, Refresh button and I don't know how many other buttons.
    Since I can't have WHAT I USED TO HAVE please explain in detail how I rid of Mozilla Firefox and what I'm all going to lose in the process.

    The home icon by default has moved to the right hand side of the navigation toolbar.
    In Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload (Refresh) buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
    When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
    If you want separate buttons stop/go/reload buttons, or want to move the home button, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again. For more details on customizing the toolbar see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

    That doesn't change anything.
    Now don't know if this has anything to do with it but i have the flash layed out with 3 frames one for a intro screen and another for when you run out of lives and they both have buttons on them.
