Cost of iPods in Australia

Can anyone tell me why there is such a large difference between the price of an iPod in the US and Australia. The Aust$ is close to parity with the US$ and yet the difference in price is quite substatial, what gives Apple?

Because prices are not determined by the immediate exchange rate. If that was so the price would change every day. When a company wants to sell a product in another country/currency they have to ensure the sale can still be profitable when the exchange rate changes. The company will include a margin in the price to do so.
As the value of the Australia dollar increases against the US dollar the price of goods in the USA become more attractive. If the exchange rate becomes stable for some time then prices will adjust. But right now we just have to live with it.

Itunes charged credit card instead of gift card for own ipod app (Australia)

I have sufficient credit on my gift card. The T&C conditions of the gift card allow the purchase for my own ipod. Why then was my credit card charged? This has not happened before as all other purchases came off of the gift card including purchases made after the app was bought. Thanks for your help!

Same problem. So I contacted apple with this question:
My main iTunes account has credit (because I've redeemed gift cards on it) but when I try to purchase anything in the store, it asks for a credit card.
I have another iTunes account that has credit and a credit card, and anytime I buy anything, it bills my credit card.
How do I purchase using the iTunes credit that is on my account? I don't want anything billed to my credit card, so I just haven't been buying anything on iTunes. But there are some apps for my iPod Touch that I'd really like to be able to purchase.
Thanks!
And received this reply:
...I understand that you are asked for billing information even though you have store credit. I can certainly appreciate you would like some assistance, and I would be more than happy to help you out with this today.
I'm sorry you weren't able to make a purchase using your store credit. To purchase items on the iTunes Store with your store credit, your account information in your user profile needs to be corrected. I'll walk you through this process to get you back up and running in no time.
1) Visit the My Apple ID website at:
http://appleid.apple.com
2) If the site is not displayed in your preferred language, click the Change Language link in the upper-right corner, type the name of your language in the field that appears, then click the Save button.
3) Click the "Manage your account" link.
4) Type your iTunes Store account name (which is your Apple ID) in the Apple ID field, type your password in the password field, then click the Sign In button.
5) Click "Addresses" in the column on the left. If you have multiple shipping addresses, remove any out-of-date or duplicate addresses by clicking Delete. Also, make sure the state or province field is filled out correctly for each address. To edit an address, click Edit. Edit all of your shipping addresses and make sure the appropriate state is selected in the State drop-down menus.
6) Now click "Phone Numbers" on the left. The area codes should be in the area code fields and the phone numbers should be in the phone number fields. If an area code is missing, or if it is in a phone number field, your account information may not save properly.
7) Make any other necessary corrections, then click the Save Changes button.
8) Click Log out in the upper-right corner.
When you make your next purchase on the iTunes Store, you will be asked to review your billing information. At this point, you can change your information or simply click Done at the bottom of the screen to proceed. Once you click Done, you should be able to purchase on the iTunes Store using your store credit.
And it worked the next time I bought an app on my iPod Touch! It was weird that it had my "Primary Address" and "Shipping Address" - though they were the same, I deleted my shipping address, and moved my "evening" phone into the "mobile" phone section, hit save, and problem solved. Weird that it was an address thing (I'm assuming) - perhaps the multiple addresses confused the billing process. It didn't ask to review my billing info when I bought something, but it used my store credit. Yay!
Hope this helps!

Ipod screen is broken. is beyond repair? how much does it cost?, ipod screen is broken. is beyond repair? how much does it cost?

Help me please!

Apple doesn't offer a menu or repair services except for replacing the battery.
Apple's out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price pays for an exchange.
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/#warranty7
This 3rd party repair company charges $100 to replace the glass only - if the LCD is not damaged.
If the LCD is damaged also, they charge $200, which is the same as Apple's repair price that pays for an exchange.

How To Fix A Corrupt iPod

Okay, this is my first and possibly last post here, I just thought that I should write my solution to this problem as there are a lot of people suffering with a corrupt iPod. I will first recommend you read this topic also if you're still having problems
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3639883&#3639883
This will be a long post (sorry), so I'll break things up into an EXPLANTION of the problem and the SOLUTION as I think some people will be thankful for a bit of insight and some people just want a solution.
read on...
EXPLANATION:
My problem occured when receiving a second hand iPod, it had some bugs, stutters and general problems so I tried a restore, this is where my real problems started. After the restore music would not always copy correctly to the iPod, some times returning with a "Windows Delayed Write Failure", also some songs and videos would not play sometimes requiring a restart (reset), sometimes they would return me to the menu straight, and sometimes they would play fine. Also the hard disk would make a lot of fuss just to select certain songs or videos, I would even have trouble booting the iPod or detecting in iTunes.
These things led me to believe either: The hard disk was cactus; The hard disk had bad sectors; Or there was a file system error on the hard disk.
When the iPod got really bad it wouldn't properly detect in iTunes, iPod Access, Anapod or Windows, it wouldn't restore in iTunes, and I couldn't access it through windows explorer even in disk mode as it claimed the disk or the control folder had corrupted.
Using some diagnostic tools I discovered the problem was nothing more than a simple and easily fixed FAT32 filesystem error.
The problem is that the iPod uses a FAT32 filesystem which is a 'kind of unstable' but not yet redundant filesystem we used back in the Windows 98 days, I assume it uses this filesystem for compatability reasons as pretty much any pc with Windows 98 or above can access FAT32.
FAT32 stores files in chains, linking one file to another, and branching out like a tree, this system is very easily corruptable due to anything from bad shutdowns or yanking the dock cable of the iPod during copying.
SOLUTION:
1:(optional) Check your iPod by reseting it and when the apple logo first appears hold the middle select button and the rewind button to enter a diagnostic mode. Then press the menu button to enter manual testing. Scroll down to IO and press select, then select the hard disk option, then select the hard disk specs option. Read the data to check your hard disk is detected as the correct size (30Gb in my case), if it isn't then reset the iPod and repeat this step until the hard disk detects as the correct size.
2:Reset your iPod, as the apple logo appears hold down the middle select button and the play button, it will then boot to a screen with a tick in the middle and it will say Disk Mode along the top of the screen.
3: Now load iTunes and then plug the iPod into your computer and let it detect. iTunes should detect your iPod though it may not properly detect it. If iTunes doesn't detect an iPod AT ALL then reset your iPod and repeat steps 2 & 3 until it does.
4: Now your iTunes should display your iPod or an iPod just call IPOD, click on your iPod and restore, you can use the same version software or update - it doesn't matter. Even if your iPod normally recieves an error when retoring it SHOULD restore as long as you're in disk mode. When it is done restoring DO NOT UNPLUG THE IPOD, just let iTunes redetect it.
5: Now go to My Computer and right click on your iPod (could be called Removable Disk and go to properties. Now click on the tools tab and run Scandisk (Check Disk). In the scandisk box that opens tick both check boxes (fix automatically and surface scan) and click run, this will take a while but when it's done go to iTunes and eject the iPod, unplug it from the computer, and reset it.
You have jsut fixed your iPod.
Please if you use this solution and it works for you, post your thanks or comments so I know my time wasn't wasted writing this.
thankyou
-odsmart

alright... this one's for raab in Montana
I'll break your question down into parts to make things easier.
1: The download error. I don't think your problem is actual iPod corruption per se, it sounds more like an Internet download problem. iTunes requests software (firmware) updates from the server for you and downloads it to your computer, Then updates your iPod. If the problem is that iTunes can't download the software then all the restoring/formatting and scandisking in the world won't help you. I really need a little more info but I think this may help: Are you on ADSL? Alot of Internet providers will not give you a static IP unless you ask and/or pay for one. Long story short, If you are behind a router, gateway or firewall your pc may be blocking the ports that iTunes requires for it's update service. One solution would be to boot your pc into safe mode, cancel the restore option and when your pc is finished booting just try to update your iPod through iTunes. Using safe mode means most antivirus/firewall services won't be running so you may be able to update that way. If not? Well post me some info on your internet connection, all I need to know is if you're on ADSL or not, and what make and model of router you use if you have one. In the mean time, try taking your iPod to a friends pc and installing iTunes and updating it there, if it works there then you'll know it's your pc/setup. Oh well, let me know.
2: The grinding noise? They do make a noise when scanning through looking for songs and the like, and sometimes they do it for a while but I'm not sure if I'd describe the sound as "grinding". Perhaps if my first answer didn't help then you have bigger problems (hardware problems) I'm not sure, if I could hear your iPod from Australia I'd be able to tell you if it's alright or not.
3: I mentioned above that my main posts are fixes not to be undertaken unless your iPod has similar symptoms to mine, I cannot stress enough that things like scandisk and format are NOT supposed to be run on an iPod, at least not on a regular basis, and definatly not one after the other. IF ANYBODY'S iPOD DOES NOT EXIHIBIT THE SYMPTOMS IN THE MAIN POST DO NOT USE THE FIX. In particular Raab, your problem seems to be elsewhere.
Let me know how you go...

My ipod has frozen and isn't being recognised by itunes

Recently, my iPod has been having troubles. It's been freezing in the middle of songs and when I try to change track, and, up till today, it's recovered. It's now been frozen for three hours. I restored the factory settings a couple of days ago, and it workeds, but only for a few hours.
This morning, it froze in the middle of the song, and it's now not being recognised by iTunes. I've tried to do a hard reset, but it's not responding at all.
It's an iPod Classic 30GB, and I think it's a 5th Generation. I got it second hand, and so I don't think I can take it and get it fixed and whatnot without paying money. Is it worth getting a new iPod? There is an Apple store near me, so I can take it in and see what they say, but as I said, it's second hand and it's past the warrenty.

Charge the iPod for at least 2 hours
Do the iPod Hard Reset -> Press Menu and Center Button simultaneously for at least 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.
Then release the buttons
Refer to this Apple Support article on the 5Rs.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
If you plan to get a new iPod, get the iPod Touch and avoid at all cost the iPod Classic, the new generation of HD in the iPod Classic appear to be not very sturdy and reliable, in my Opinion, yours is still more sturdy, (6 years old), but the battery and hardisk would be in the last lap. The full charge battery should last at least 20 hours of continuos music.
You can do the iPod Disk diagnostic to see the HD health, as posted by tt2.

Don't worry about the Mac user, the DD process refer only to iPod Classic.
Have a nice day!

Cost Centre Reporting

Hi,
We are a large company with around 40000 staff and have the following business requirement.
- Cost centre reporting is expected to be hierarchical in nature but current Cost Centre structure in Australia is flat in structure.
- Natural hierarchies already exist by organisational structure: Total Company, Business, Zone, Region, Area and Branch.
- As a high level requirement, cost centre data should only be available to the manager of the organisational unit that they are managing and any lower level organisational units. Managers should only be able to view their organisational unit costs or lower organisational unit costs. They should not be able to view cost centre data across structures (peer organisational units) or higher levels of responsibilities (parent organisational units).
- The ability to access cost centre reporting data should take into account HR delegations and substitution processes. This also needs to take into account the granting of the correct authority to the delegated person to run reports.
- One possible option is to utilise the A250 Cost Centre Manager relationship in SAP to facilitate the security for cost centre reports.
I will be handling these requirements from a security perspective and would liike to achieve this without creating hundreds of roles and a maintenance nightmare.
A finance version of structural authorisations would be good
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Barb

Hi Barbara
I have been in this situation a couple of years ago. We ended with a solution where I made a report for generating the roles based on the responsibility area, and where the user assignment where done manually. Not a very elegant solution, but it worked.
I can see that your requirement are a bit more sophisticated though. And if you do not want to generate a lot of roles I think you will need to develop your own concept for this.
But again, as authorization check are implemented directly in the source code, this is not a small task ~ at least my guess is that you will have to limit the number of report etc used by managers to very few, perhaps Managers desktop or Manager Self Service could help here ? Otherwise I guess my suggestion would be to develop my own reporting application, or try to convince the customer to give up some of the requirements.
The bottom line is, that SAP Finance really can't handle this in an elegant manor, So Yes - a finance version of structural authorizations would be a great Idea

Variable Authorizations for Cost elements (K_REPO_CCA)

Hi everybody.
I have a doubt regarding the posible options for an authorization on object K_REPO_CCA. Our system is R/3 version 5.0. Is it possible to create a variable, "$COST_ELEMENT" for example, and fill the values dinamically by a user_exit or maybe a z-program that reads in a Z-table??
Did you know if this is possible?? If yes, do you know the user-exit??
Many thanks and best regards.

Hi,
I would be really interested to find out more about what you did here.
"<i>In fact at a client we determined the authorised cost centres at run time based on the users mapping to the HR org structure."</i>
This sounds like exactly what we need at our organisation. We are a large company with around 40000 staff and have the following business requirement.

- Natural hierarchies already exist within the NAB by organisational structure: Total Company, Business, Zone, Region, Area and Branch.

Transferring pictures from ipod to the computer

I recently got an ipod in Australia and all my pictures were put on from the computer there. I can't seem to open my pictures now from my computer at home. When I click on the photos folder from my ipod, only the "thumbs" folder and "photo database" are in there but I cannot open them in any program to see the pictures.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

IPod won't turn on and doesn't respond with any other devices.

I was listening to my iPod nano (5th generation) when the song started to skip. I realized the battery was almost dead, but before I was able to plug it into my dock, it shut off completely. When I eventually plugged it in, it didn't light up or show any signs of charging. So I plugged it into my computer (PC) and it didn't light up and wasn't picked up by the computer. I've tried troubleshooting it, I have the most up to date iTunes and everything, but it still won't turn on. I've left it in my computer for a while to see if it will charge at all and it hasn't. Does anyone know how I can fix my device without having to pay any repair costs?
