Does touch ID not work when redeeming gift cards from iTunes?

I thought the whole idea with touch id was not having to enter your long-*** passwords all the time?!? iTunes asked for my password when I try to redeem gift cards, instead of letting me use touch id. Is this the way its supposed to work?

I was having this issue too, it was always asking for the passcode even though the setting was on for iTunes & App Store. To fix it I turned it off and then back on again, it asked for my password and then it worked.
Steps:
- Go to Settings -> General -> Touch ID & Passcode -> Touch ID
- Disable iTunes & App Store
- Re-enable iTunes & App Store
- Enter your passcode one last time
- It should work
Also as others mentioned, under General -> Restrictions -> Require Password might need to be set to 15 minutes.

How does the copyright thing work when importing a song from iTunes to iMovie.

The song was purchased legally through iTunes but does that mean I can include it in a movie for personal use?

Absolutely not.
Well... define what you mean by "personal use".

Any time you've changed anything in your billing, it does this once to very things.

Why does the alarm not work when the iphone 4 is turned off

why does the alarm not work when the iphone 4 for is turned off works fine when on most other phones work when off

The only phone I've ever had that would turn on and sound the alarm is a Blackberry. So, I'd hardly say "most phones" have this function.

Thunderbolt ethernet not working when computer wake up from sleep.

thunderbolt ethernet not working when computer wake up from sleep.
it will not happen in Mountain loin.

I had this problem on SL and on Lion as well, and it occures for WiFi and Ethernet connections.
In fact the internet connection was not broken as I could ping the destination usin the IP (not DNS name).
In this case the problem was related to mDNSResponder task which handles all dns queries.
It was the most frequent problem in my day to day work with SL and now Lion. It was never fixed by any patch from Apple. I tried almost all voodoo including fresh install, all possible config changes - no solution.
The only version with no problems related to network was 10.5.8. All the other versions had issues of different kind (WiFi instability (lost signal), DNS problems (for wireless and wired connection) sometimes associated with machine sleep and wake up and sometimes with no reason.
QUESTION: Is your problem independent of the access point / router you connect to.
I must say networking was (and still is) the weakest part, besides the other OS X weaknesses I experienced during 4 years of OS X usage.
No problems in the same network with Linux or Windows beeing ran natively on my iMac So hardware is OK.
Software is of poor quality. Not much more to say in this matter.
I found a very interesting article dated 1996 about programming which I think is still valid.

My HP Pavilion dv6-2153ee recovery is not working when i choose it from boot menu selection

my HP Pavilion dv6-2153ee recovery is not working when i choose it from boot menu selection . it's run but then the windows run without running recovery. help me please?

Hello Tajamal,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the webcam isn't working since upgrading to Windows 8.1. I would have to suggest returning to Windows 8 since there are no 8.1 drivers, as indicated here: HP Pavilion dv6-7043cl Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Have a wonderful day!

My iphone is not working when i plug off from charger.

My iphone is not working when i plug off from charger. Evenmore when it is on the charger and it still not working, it asks to connect to i-tunes but i can't and i can see only emergency calls. What should i do?

If it only works when connected to a charger, that would indicate a battery issue.
As for the other issue... do as it suggests and connect to iTunes then restore. There is no logical, intelligent expectation that anything on the device can be accessed as long as the "Connect to iTunes" screen is displaying.

I live in the UK and want to purchase gift cards from iTunes for people in the US but It won't allow me to use my UK address and credit card. Can I or cant I?

You would have to work with a retailer selling iTunes cards who would accept a non-US credit card. Best Buy is a possibility; they carry iTunes prepaid cards and will accept orders from other countries:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Help-Topics/International-Orders/pcmcat204400050019. c?id=pcmcat204400050019
You'll have to have the order shipped directly to the person in the US (or at least someone with a US address, who could then repackage and resend the cards for you).

Ipad air 2 touch id not working when plugged in

A very strange problem tonight.
After work, I grabbed my iPad Air 2 which was plugged in to the Apple Charger next to my chair. Touched the home button to open it - nothing happened. Tried again. Nothing happened. Entered the code and the IPad Air opened.
After dinner, same thing. Touch ID did not work with any of 3 fingers. With the code - it opened. So, I decided to delete and redo the finger scans. Turned off - no change - Touch ID not working.
To get a better grip, I unplugged the Apple charger. Viola! Touch ID worked. Plugged it back in. Touch ID stops working.
Powder off, power on. Touch ID works unplugged but not plugged in. I have done the Reset All Settings. No change.
At a loss. This is not a 3rd party charger - it is the Apple one that came with the iPad Air. Anyone got any ideas?
Tim

Make sure the usb wall adapter is from Apple too.
if your using a generic wall adapter and original Apple lightning cable,
the touch ID won't work.
IF you use both apple wall adapter and lightning cable
the touch id should work.
hopes this helps

Transfer a gift card from itunes to app store

I picked up a macbook air today and it came with a $100 gift card. I redeemed my card on itunes, but realised that I could only download page from the app store (my bad). I'm wondering if there is a way to transfer the balance of my gift card from my itunes account to my app store account, if there's a way to cancel the redeemed code.
P.S. I love the support that apple gives. This forum is such a great way to get help. Never going back to windows.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately Apple doesn't permit you to transfer credit.

Touch Screen not working when plugged in via usb to laptop

I am hoping someone can help me figure out what to do because I have run out of ideas... When I plug the phone into my laptop via the USB cable provided with the phone (2006 Dell 1710 Inspiron, Windows Vista) the touch screen does not work. The phone is functioning but I just can't use the touch screen to do anything, more specifically, I want to connect as a mass storage device so I can transfer files, music, pictures, etc.
I have downloaded the drives, installed and reinstalled the drivers, soft rest, used all 5 USB ports on the laptop and made sure the ports were up to date for drivers and software on the laptop. Still the screen won't work when plugged in.
My next step was to try it on a different computer so I used an HP desktop running Windows 7. Downloaded the drivers when prompted and low and behold the screen worked just fine when plugged in. It also works when plugged into my computer at work.
Considering the phone works fine on another computer I am guessing it might be the USB ports on my laptop or the software associated with it.
If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

I would definitely agree with you, Funkytown. If we know the phone works properly with two other computers and you've run through all the troubleshooting (awesome job!), then we can determine there is something with the computer that is causing the issue.
Thank you!
