Getting ripped off here, help

There was an album I wanted to buy in iTunes that is $16.99, I was short a few cents though so I started buying some songs in the album separately. When the price knocked down to about $3.00 I decided to buy one more, as I knew to buy the rest of the album I would have to pay at least a few more cents... BUT, when I did so the album went back to the full price! Each song separately is $2.19, and I still have 4 more songs to buy now which adds up to $8.76 and apparently I have to pay $16.99 to buy the full album but really all that I would need to pay is $8.76 after this dilemma, but it shouldn't even be that, it should only be a few more cents, only about a $1.00. I really need this fixed because I don't have much money to begin with as I don't even have a part time job yet. I'm in high school, I shouldn't have to put up with this. Please help, I shouldn't have to pay another $8.76.

I had the free version and the advertisement said I could upgrade to the PDF-Print for $29.95 but when I went to order they charged me $39.95. Did I just get ripped off for $10.00?

I just purchased PDF-Print but did not pay the $29.95 as per the advertisement. I had to pay $39.95. Did I just get ripped off for $10?

Wrong forum (and software company). Here you have an Adobe Acrobat forum. So Acrobat is the application and Adobe is the company.
Be well...

It was an email about a video I posted on youtube. It said "the video you posted under your account has been approved and posted. Click link to see the video" but I didn't post any video so I clicked the link on my phone and it took me to a page that was not youtube so I immediately closed the window went to my settings and deleted cookies and history. Later I tried to login to one of my banking app and it kept saying loading for about 5 min before I exited the app then tried again and then it wouldn't even let me log in.

Why do Oz users get ripped off all the time.

Hi Can anyone explain why it costs $AUD16.99 an album or $AUD1.69 per song to buy music through the Itunes store in Australia when it costs $US9.99 to buy the same album ( or $US0.99) per song if you buy in the US. The current exchange rate is at around 95c in the $ so the price should be no more than about a $1.10 so Apple or somebody is making on average about 33% extra for every song sold in Australia. This is discriminatory and patently unfair. It doesn't cost Apple any more to service Australian clients than American and this price difference is unjustifiable on the evidence before me.

Which is precisely what I am doing. i will find a way to purchase direct from the US or UK. But I would still be keen to see some justification for the rip off apart from the "cause we can" mentality. Still doesn't make it right for Apple or the record companies if it is them that are setting the prices. Typical isn't it . The whole music industry's (ie the labels) approach to digital music right from the start - firstly fight it tooth and nail until such time as it is obvious you can't win so then change the rules and try and control it even more than ever before (DRM and sundry associated issues ) and again when even that is shown as a complete waste of time and effort introduce a pricing model that favours particular markets. And people wonder why people share music ?
And even the fact that your statement regarding different negotiated market access for different markets is a joke in itself. Why is a US consumer any more entitled to a cheaper price for music than someone in Brazil, Australia, Asia etc. Sure their market is bigger but with online music it is a global market with no respect to borders. So that argument would also be fallacious. Lets face it they do it cause they are getting away with it and they don't really give a toss about the consumer.
So you are suggesting that the costs of supplying an Australian consumer is 33% more than the cost for a US customer . Basically this works out that every third album you buy should be free or would be free if the prices were comparable.

Zero infront of zipcode getting cut off, need help

Not showing full zip code – I put in 07753 and it shows 7753 (missing the 0). Thank you for your help!
Here is my code:
var v7 = this.getField("ShipTo");
var v1 = this.getField("ZipPostal Code").value;
var v2 = this.getField("ZipPostal Code_2").value;
if(v7.value == "0")
    if(v1.length === 0)
      v1 = "";
    else
      v1 = this.getField("ZipPostal Code").value;
event.value = v1;
else if(v7.value == "1")
     if(v2.length === 0)
            v2 = "";
     else
            v2 = this.getField("ZipPostal Code_2").value;
event.value = v2;

You need to get the value of the field using the valueAsString field property:
var v1 = this.getField("ZipPostal Code").valueAsString;
var v2 = this.getField("ZipPostal Code_2").valueAsString;

Iphone not respondsing - no recent backup - must get photos off it - help!

Hi there:
I'm helping a friend who has suffered a set of issues that have left her in a real tricky situation...
She has an IPhone 3Gs. It was being used in combination with a Windows XP PC. However, a couple of months ago, that PC died. She had otehr things on her mind as she was heavily pregnant, so hasn't replaced the PC or connected the phone to any other computer. Now, the baby's here, and the Iphone has a vast array of photos of said child....
That is, until a few days ago, when by accident she let it completely discharge. After a couple of days on charge, it is still dead.
She has called me as I run a computer support firm, but I've not seen this before. I did read on a forum somewhere to connect it to a PC, and restart the PC. I didn't think this would help, but it has changed the situation slightly... it's tricky to describe, but the screen now flashes.... blacker than when the thing is completely off, every 5 seconds.
The problem is that we cannot do a full reset, as we cannot restore the data. but these are the only photo's of the baby's first couple of months on the planet. So is there ANY WAY (even if it means dismanteling and putting components into a working phone), that we can recover this data?
Thanks in advance!
Martin

Normally, in a situation like yours, the suggested fix would be to try & force the phone into recovery mode & then restore from backup or set up as a new phone. Since you do not have a backup to restore from, all saved data on the phone would be lost. Something, I understand you're trying to prevent. My only suggestion would be to replace the battery(your battery "may" have failed) & see if the phone will turn on. This of course would assume that the problem is related to the battery & not the OS itself. If the OS has become corrupted, there is no way to retrieve those photos without a backup to restore from. Well, there is but the hardware & software to do so are extremely expensive & generally only available to law enforcement.

'we had difficulty reading this feed. host parameter is null' I am getting no where here, help!?

I've had an RSS feed created for an online video podcast but keep getting the message: 'we had difficulty reading this feed. host parameter is null' i've looked at the forums but none of them make any sense. My IT team say the RSS feed is valid and it should work and that is more like down to an itunes error, any help?

This will be our first podcast so do not currently have a page. Below is the feed.
Thank you Roger.

HT201322 Okay, I am starting to get realy ****** off. need help please.

I've spend almost a full day trying to find a song "Death Will Reign by Impending". I purchased the song already but it is not in my itunes library, It's not Hidded, It's not in the Purchase List under quik links and there's no download option for it either. I've been searching for the song I purchased and it's not even on my Laptop PC. I do have a store receipt of purchasing it. $1.40 is the total. I saw all the technical support and not one of it can't help my to get this song that I purchase. I bought and it just got erase. I did a system recovery and it is still not there but I still have the purchase item. I did not have Icloud till after this problem. Is there ANY way I can get this song? to make it clear, IT"S NOT ON MY PC. the file for it or anything. I do not have a viruse or spyware or malware. It is not hacked. I know for sure of it. Can anyone please help? I will really appreciate your help.

First try Store > Check for available downloads in case it is in some sort of limbo between purchase & delivery.
Occasionaly the iTunes interface can seem to lose track of a recent purchase, even though it is in the library...
Try creating a smart playlist with the rule Name contains Death Will. Does the track show up? If so I can suggest ways to fix the general problem.

when i compile the above program using the below statement
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_14\bin>javac Calculator.java
Note: Calculator.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.
but if i run the program i get the output....
for creating a jar file: i followed the following procedure
1.first,i created a mainClass.txt file containing the info
Main-Class: Calculator
2.i used the statement
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_14\bin>jar cmf mainClass.txt Calculator.jar *.class
to create a jar file
3.i had created a Calculator.jar file now..now when i try to execute the jar file by using
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_14\bin>java -jar Calculator.jar
i get the following error
+Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Cal
culator+
what should i do to execute my Calculator.jar file?

First, open the jar with something like WinZip and verify the Manifest.mf has the correct info.
Also, verify that the file/dir structure is correct.
Make sure that the mainClass.txt has a carriage return following the "Main-Class: Calculator"
Have just tried this here with JDK6 and it compiles and works as it should.

Feel like getting ripped off by BT

My monthly bill comes to around £60 combined for anytime calls, Infinity 2 and basic TV, which I feel is way too much. I have not used the TV at all in the last 10 months and my broadband speed, according to tests, is consistently under 5mb/s compared to the 60mb/s I use to get in the first couple of months of the current 12 month deal. The last few months it has been more like 5mb/s. However, I don't feel like the actual connection is slow as 5mb/s is fast enough for my requirements most of the time. The only time it seems slow is when downloading movies on iTunes. A movie that should take a few minutes is taking more like 30 minutes. The good thing is, since video now plays off the cloud, I can start playing it as soon I start the downloading. However, I notice that some movies (I play from the video librarary) keep stop-starting on a regular basis, sometimes to the point where I can't be bothered to watch.
I will be cancelling the TV which will take £7 a month off the bill plus another £3 for BT sport HD. Any recommendations so I can bring the overall bill down to a more manageable £40 or so. I might downgrade to infinity 1 as I am not seeing the benefits of infinity 2 in terms of speed. Can I downgrade over the phone (without needing an engineer coming around)? I really can't be bothered with the hassle. I have the hub 4 by the way.

I think you should be able to downgrade to infinity 1 without any engineer visit required. You do certainly need to get your speed issue investigated though, something is amiss there.
Without knowing the exact breakdown of the £60 it's hard to give specific advice, but in general ...
Phone Line Rental is £15.99 or £13.32 if you pay by Line Rental Saver a year in advance.
Weekend Calls are free.
Evening Calls is now available as a £3.00 add-on (used to be included in certain packages).
Anytime Calls is now available as a £7.50 add-on (used to be included in certain packages).
There are lots of other phone feature add-ons at extra costs.
Infinity 1 (20GB) is £15.
Infinity 1 (40GB) is £18.
Infinity 1 Unlimited is £23.
Infinity 2 Unlimited is £26.
Just go to the MyBT page and click on the links at the top such as 'My Phone' or 'My Broadband'.
However, if you are near to completing (or have completed) the minimum term for your current contract then you are in a strong bargaining position. The best thing to do is to phone the Customer Options Team on 0800 800 030. They will explain all the options and they can often give extra discounts over the phone if you commit to a new contract with a new minimum term. For example I just recontracted my Infinity 1 (40GB) at less than £18 and also got TV Essential at £2.

Did I get ripped off?????

Hello all:
Bought a FX5200-T128 today and when installing it I noticed that it differed from what I had seen on MSi's website. For one its green not red. Two it has 4 memory modules instead of 2. Is this some other card placed in MSI retail packaging? Is there anyway to tell for sure?
Thanks all

A little birdy told me...

The MS-8911-020 is indeed an OEM Video card. Basically the specifications are the same except for the TV –out connector. There are some vendors who buy surplus devices from those manufacturers and sell it to some users. So sometimes you will get some OEM product on the market.

We are getting ripped off.

Lets face it, {please keep your posts courteous}. The largest bill in the house aside from rent is the "cable bill."
The government gave these Co. Permission to charge what they want.
What sense is it that it cost more money to remove a service, then to add one? Why is it if you are a customer of a cable co., for over a year, your cost goes up.
A new customer will get a reward and a better rate for one year.
It is insane an it is our own government that is letting this happen.

New customers have a choice: a month to month contract with rising rates or a longer term contract with a guaranteed rate. The reward they get is for agreeing to remain a customer for a fixed time. Many businesses (including local brick and mortar stores) give rewards for bringing business to them. In my opinion, it is unreasonable to expect a company to give customers that same discount every time they buy something.
Perhaps some don't read what they are agreeing to. I do. When I signed a 2 year contract with Verizon, I knew up front that my bill would increase in 6 months, again after 1 year, and again after 2 years. I even knew the amount. Nothing was hid or in the fine print. I have no complaints with the pricing.
