Do i have to submit billing info just for genius to work?
Do I really have to submit billing info for genius to work? I dont buy songs on itunes, and i only want it to make me playlists. It worked on my cousins laptop without having to do billing info,etc.
HI Rawrcopter and welcome to Apple Discussions ...
<Do I really have to submit billing info for genius to work?> No, you should not have to do that.
Creating a Genius playlist
You can have iTunes create a playlist from songs in your library that go great together.
Before you can create a Genius playlist, you must turn on Genius (the instructions are included below). To turn on Genius, you must be connected to the Internet.
To create Genius playlists, iTunes uses anonymous information about your library and other iTunes libraries.
1. *Select a song in your library* and click the Genius button at the bottom of the iTunes window.
2. If you haven’t turned on Genius yet, click Turn On Genius.
If you are trying to make playlists from audio tracks you have imported from CD's, or downloaded music from anywhere but iTunes, then no, you cannot access the Genius Bar. That is for music you have purchased from iTunes only. That is why it's requiring Apple ID in order to use the Genius Sidebar.

Why do I have to update my billing info just to update one of my apps?
I am trying to update my Sims Freeplay and can not. I keep getting please update billing info? Why do I have to update billing info for a game that I do not use in-app purchases for?
If you've acquired a debt to the iTunes Store, you'll need to pay it off before you can download anything other than podcast episodes from it.

Hello. I rented Photoshop by the month on my old computer, but then the computer died. I have now updated billing info on my new computer to rent it again. Where do I download it?
HI Elizabeth,
Here is a link to download the Creative Cloud app manager. Just install the CC app and then download the other applications.

Tap Settings > General > International. Make sure the Region Format is correct.
As for your Apple ID. Tap Settings > Store > Apple ID > iForgot
Resetting your Apple ID may help.
Congrats on your new iPad !!! -

HT204053 how can i create apple id without filling bill information just for free?
i just want to create apple id without filling bill information, just for free application to download.
False, Apple does not charge for free apps. You have an authorization hold, just like many other merchants do to verify that the account is valid and has funds available. The hold will fall off the account in a couple of days without charging your account.

It seems like I cannot get GPS only to work on my ipad3 (4g version, but not on an active cell plan, and wifi off). Is there some new requirement in 7.1 or 7.1.1 to have cell and/or wifi enabled for GPS to work? I am testing with MotionX, garmin blueChart mobile, and a GPS monitoring tool. All show no signal. If I turn on cell and wifi, it says I get gps signal, but can't tell if that is from the GPS chip, or just from cell and wifi only (maybe with some gps mixed in)? Any ideas on how to get iPad working with GPS only??
Roger that. Thanks for your time.
System:
Windows 7 64bit
Processor: AMD phenom IIX4 965
RAM: Gskill Ripsaw F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM (2-2GB sticks)
GPU:EVGA Classified Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 core
PSU: Kingwin 1000W laser gold (LZG-1000)
Yes. tried the one ram stick, no go. I have been trying to boot off/install the windows 7 disk but am unable to get to the point where windows starts installing after its gathering information portion of the install. I can get to the disk selection screen of the install with the WD HD on SATA port 2 but then get the "cant install messages" when I try to select the Vertex 3. Yes I can see the Vertex 3 Drive as well as the WD drive at this point. some times I have to hit "scan" a couple of times. -
Encore CS6: I have to click under a button for it to work. Button/Menu Problems
I have created a menu with adobe encore cs6 and photoshop. everything seems to be in the right place but when i preview the menu, some buttons are the way i made them but others i have to click below the image for it to work. I do not know what other information you will need.
From Encore, right click the menu and "edit in Photoshop." Look at each button group and make sure that every layer is positioned correctly.
If that doesn't show you the problem, in Encore in the menu viewer, click the "show routing" button. Then give us a screenshot. (That is the simplest way I know to show the bounding boxes of all the buttons.)
Let us know if you get it sorted! -
I can not remember my icloud password. I would like to recover it but the difficulty is my apple id and icloud have different passwords and the links for recovery all work only to change my apple id password. SO how do I recover the icloud password?
An Apple ID is used for everything (including this site) and including iCloud. See the quote below from https://appleid.apple.com/
There is no such thing as an iCloud password but it is possible that you have 2 Apple IDs and you are using one of them for iCloud.
An Apple ID is your user name for everything you do with Apple: Shop the iTunes Store, enable iCloud on all your devices, buy from the Apple Online Store, make a reservation at an Apple Retail Store, access the Apple Support website, and more. -
Have base station and added extender for downstairs. Worked great upon initial setup, but now it won't connect despite an "excellent" signal. All i get is a blinking amber light; only get green if I bring it into the same room as the base. Both units are the latest models; purchased 2 months ago. What's wrong? Thanks!!
Power off both the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express
Wait a minute
Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run for a few minutes
Now locate the AirPort Express about half way between the AirPort Extreme and the general area where you need more wireless signal coverage, and report on your results.
The more that you can minimize obstructions between the AirPorts like walls, ceilings, etc. the better the wireless will operate. -
my iPhone 4s sleep button is working like it use to and i have to press it real hard for it to work at times
Take it to an Apple Store and have them take a look. Make a Genius bar appointment.

I think the title says it all. We have different Apple IDs on two computers for two users. To home share, is it necessary to change one of the Apple IDs to match the other, or can this be done just for purposes of home sharing -- i.e., select one Apple ID as the common ID just for purposes of home sharing.
Thanks,
EricPersonally, I'd keep it simple and keep the same one.

My family shared an Itunes account and now i'm moving out and have created a new account solely for myself. Is there a way to transfer my previous purchases on the family account to my new account?
In order to continue to play and sync the music you purchased with your old account, you'll need to authorize your new computer/iTunes library to do so. You can do this by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer and then entering in your old account credentials.
That's all you should need to. Then just create your own account and start purchasing and using it the same you have with the old one.
