How can I learn bitrate before buying--for sure

Discussions suggest that most songs available for download on iTunes are 256 kbps but that some songs are still in 128 kbps. I wish to download a certain album, but I can't tell from the iTunes store what bitrate it is sold in. Is there a way to tell actually, for sure, what the bitrate is before I buy the album? Thanks.

Thanks! There is a lot of conflicting information at this site. At http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1711, dated Dec. 2012, Apple says,
What is iTunes Plus?
iTunes Plus is the new standard on iTunes. iTunes Plus downloads are songs and music videos available in our highest quality 256 kbps AAC audio encoding
and then it says:
Why is iTunes Plus format available for certain music, but not all?
The reason that certain music and music videos are not offered in our DRM-free, highest quality audio format is because they have not been provided in iTunes Plus format from the music label.
Also, a recent discussion posting:
How do you know the bitrate before you download?
says the user downloaded an album in January and was surprised that it was 128.
So, the user could be mistaken, but why does Apple say not all music is 256? Thanks again.

I purchased Elements 13 for my Imac that doesn't have a DVD drive. How can I install it without buying a DVD drive? I would like to also install it on my MacBook Pro. Do I have to buy a second version.

Did you purchase it outright, or do you have a subscription?

I have been charged by iTunes through my credit card but I didn't buy any application, how can i know iTunes charge me for what?

You can check the purchase history on your account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, though I'm not sure if that shows auto-renewing subscriptions. Have you added or changed your credit card details on your account (when you do then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days) ? If you haven't changed your card details or can't find or don't recognise what the charge is for then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Welcome to the Apple community.
iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

HT204053 how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

Thanks... I appreciate the reply. Since I wrote the previous email, I actually went and changed my apple id (the main id) and the documentation I looked at said iCloud will set mail up automatically(?)... I had it working before.
Also, I tried to manually set up the ID via the Mail Accounts screen(s) and I can't figure out what my server information is... Pop or Imap? What's the outgoing server and the incoming server?
I typically have never had problems setting up mail accounts (in apple mail) with no problem.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!

Hello:
Rather than try to buy a box, I suggest you take the computer to a FedEx or UPS store. They will wrap and safely package the device for a reasonable cost (I have shipped two iMacs this way).

How can I make a "property node" for a VI?

Hello!
If I add a boolean button on the FP then I am able to make a property node for that button in the Block Diagram. But how can I make a property node for a VI? I have several VI:s an that together is one program. What I need to do is to verify what kind of VI some of my VI:s is. I need to verify if it is .exe or .vi-file, and if it is .exe then I want to disable run, abort, run continuously bottons otherwise not. I have hard that this is possible to do programmaticaly but I can´t figure out how. I am aware that I could do that manually in the File->vi properties->customize->windows appearance but theese choises makes it last forever.
I want to be able to stop and run and everything if it is a .vi file, but if it is .exe-file then all those buttons should be disabled.
Anyone have an example on this?
In an other message at this Forum I read "You can use the `Front Panel Window. Allow Runtime PopUp`" property to disable run-time shortcuts menues programmaticaly, but still I dont know how to create this property node.

You really shouldn't open a new thread. If you don't understand something, ask and we will explain it.
Like I said in the other thread, you can check if you are running in LV or an EXE by using the Application>>Kind property. To get it, place a property node (from the Application Control palette) on the diagram, click it and find the property.
To set the properties for the VI, place another property node, right click it and select Select Class>>VI Server>>VI. You should have the properties you want under Front Panel Window.
To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here and here are a couple you can start with. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf). I believe chapter 17 of the user manual explains about programmatic control of VIs.

How can I set up auto respond for email

How can I set up auto respond for email?

Hey there jimmac169,
It sounds like you want to have the Mail app automatically reply to emails that come in. You can do this in the app itself, but in order for the function to work, Mail needs to be open. Take a look at this info from the following article:
Mail (Yosemite): Reply to, forward, or redirect messages
Automatically reply to or forward messages
Mail must be open before it can automatically forward or reply to messages. If you want to send automatic replies when Mail isn’t open—like when you’re on vacation—check with the provider of your email account.
Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Rules.
Click Add Rule, then type a name for the rule.
Indicate whether any or all of the conditions must be true for the rule to be applied.
Set the conditions that determine which messages to automatically reply to or forward.
Choose options from the “Perform the following actions” pop-up menu.
Forward messages: Choose Forward Message from the first pop-up menu, then enter the email addresses where you want to receive the forwarded messages. Click Message, then enter any text you want to include with the forwarded message. For example, you could explain that you’re automatically forwarding messages.
Reply to messages: Choose “Reply to Message” from the first pop-up menu, click “Reply message text,” then enter your reply. Mail includes the full text of the original message in your reply.
Click OK.
Carefully consider the rules you create. If they’re too broad, messages can be sent inadvertently or create loops (replies to replies you sent). If possible, test the rules.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

How can I get a serial number for Illustrator CS5?

How can I get a serial number for Illustrator CS5 when I have a complete CC subscription?
I have a GCC Expert 24 plotter running on OS X and the direct cut plugin is only compatible with CS5 or earlier.
I have tried asking in support chat but it never actually works, my next option is to ring or get a cracked version but i'm trying to avoid both of those options if I can.
Thanks.

xdmg,
In addition to what Lutz said, unless you buy a CS5 that is still new and unused, you will need a licence transfer through Adobe,

and the application must be deactivated on any machine it has been installed on.

You may find this post helpful 1doran: have problems cleaning up my mac
Read the cautions regarding deleting language resources.
A reliable program that claims the intelligence to automatically discriminate between required and superfluous files does not exist. Such one-size-fits-all "clean up" utilities frequently don't know the difference between required system components and trash, and can easily result in a broken Mac.
If you are running low on disk space you can buy a bigger disk. They are not expensive. In the meantime you can read the techniques here to determine if there are any large files you can safely delete using the tools already built into every Mac, including recommendations for some free utilities you can use to easily identify large files.
