How come I can't use Bill me later to purchase a gift card

how come I can't use Bill me later to purchase a gift card

From what I've read, you don't get a credit card number on a BML account, just an account number. Because of this, there is really no way to use the account as a funding source for the iTunes Store. You may be able to use Bill Me Later with the Apple Store to order gift cards, but I'm not certain. You can call the Apple Store and ask.
Regards.

How come I can't use the back gesture in certain apps with my magic mouse on certain applications in Lion OS?

How come I can't use the back gesture with my magic mouse on certain applications in Lion? I figured out that in Safari i have to use a 1 finger swipe to go back a page instead of 2 fingers like i used to do in Snow Leopard. But apps like iTunes and iPhoto and i can't do that. Any ideas? is there a setting im missing to make this work? It works in Safari but not any other applications, so im assuming theres no setting for this. Just want to know if this is just a bug that will be fixed in the next update or if its something I can fix now. Any help would be appreciated because its kind of annoying. Other than this minor issue I love Lion. Full screen apps are unbelievable.

HT4972 how come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube or pinerest app? it keeps giving me a message to use iOS5

How come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube and pinerest app? i keep getting a message to update to iOS5 if i must use iOS5 how do i update to that one because it just took me 4 hours to figure out how to update to iOS6

We have read that any apps that use the google map app (removed by ios6) will not work. We have lost a great camping app for this reason, and have heard that some weather apps are not working either. The company line we've been given is it's up to the app developer to rewrite their apps. ***** doesn't it.

How come you can not use more than 126GB of a 1.5TB diskdrive with LabVIEW Real Time?

How come you can not use more than 126GB of a 1.5TB diskdrive with LabVIEW Real Time?
This is only 8.3% of the available disk drive space!
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/E7E2F5657B6026358625750B007201A6?OpenDocument
National Instrument's solution is either reformat you drive to less than 126GB or replace the drive with one less than that size.
Please NI, tell me you are going to fix your LabVIEW Real Time soon, and that we won't have to wait for LabVIEW RT 9.2.1 in 2011 for this one to be fixed.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/90/Hard_drive_capacity_over_time.svg
Drives as large as 126GB or more have been around since about mid 2002. That's about 7 Years now and LabVIEW Real Time STILL can't use drives larger that 126GB! Please NI. Do something.
We deserve fixes to the old versions of LabVIEW RT. How about updates to LabVIEW RT. Such as 7.0.2, 7.1.2, 7.6.2, 8.0.2, 8.2.2, 8.6.2.
We don't need new features or versions of LabVIEW RT such as 9.0 until we have some of bugs fixed in the existing versions.
Kevin.

NI is not making the Real Time OS in house. I do not remember which firm that is making it. Anyway you are allowed to use a hard drive that has been partitioned. And 126GB is some space is it not? I remember Bill Gates declared one time that 640Kb ram should be more than enough for any PC application also in the future
Coq Rouge (formerly t06afre),
The RealTime OS is an NI Product that is purchased from NI.
NI may or may not outsource design, developement, or manufacturing of the products that it sells under its own Company name.
For this reason I would be concerned if I were a PXI Embedded Controller designer/developer in the United States.
Yes, 126GB is some space. I see that there are now 2TB drives available. 126GB would be 6.3% of a new 2TB drive. Should we all be happy with being able to use 6.3% of the available drive space. Moore's Law seams to be alive and well. Drives larger than 126GB have been readily available for 5 or 6 Years. This should not be a surprise to NI. Why don't they do something about it.
Thanks for the trivia on Bill Gates. I must have missed that one since I don't try to keep up with Microsoft. I believe that he is a wonderful person and he and his family are doing wonders for the world in their "retirement". The world needs more like him.
What I do remember is Steve Jobs telling us that we would never need more that 128MB and that we would never to need to do anymore software development because everything was already in the "ToolBox".

You put it on one carrier, somehow it got lock. Apple will NOT unlock it for you. You have to get the CARRIER to do that. If you bought it UNlocked, but got a locked one, take it back. Just because you got your iPhone contract FREE does NOT mean it is UNlocked, it mean you can cancel you usage from that carrier at any time, but still can't take your phone to a new one and use it.

HT204391 How come Apple can't use its own software to create this guide as a pdf or an iBook?

Does Apple actually use its own software?
The woefully few manuals it manages to provide now are all created in Indesign and desperately need the critical eye of an editor to correct the errors, ommisions, obsolescence and plain confusing statements.
As Apple's efforts grow ever more obscure, awkward, contradictory and difficult to use, it tells it Users next to nothing about how they all work.

LOL, I saw the points tally and thought at first you were opening a thread to motivate some ideas to pass back!
I assumed also that the points did not come from iBA and like others... were experienced and skilled dealing with Pages etc,.
Fact is Apple cloned iBA from Pages - which is basically a sound concept and suits a purpose.. but the cry as always been... "give us a decent manual". Apple in their wisdom apparently did not conceive that people would use iBA having never used pages. I actually purchased iWorks back in 2005 for my then new PowerPC G5 10.4.11 tried it and went back to MS Publisher!
18 months or more on depending on iBA's release, most users are pretty much capable now but a few new comers from other software packages do seen to have trouble getting information to start up.
From Apples point of view.. their project worked, the software as it is as flooded the book store with product dedicated to iPads and therfore income for Apple only. I have no doubt the next update will deal with some of the isssues sent in as feedback.
Meanwhile, welcome to the club.........

How come i can't use my ipod mini as a hard drive

I learnt how to use my ipod mini as a hard drive by watching the video on this web site. But after I check "enable disc use" and then exit out of itunes, nothing happens. it says in the video that after you exit out of itunes a box will appear showing your ipod and then you can begin adding files to your ipod, but this doesn't happen for me. can you tell me why?

Go to My Computer and find your iPod, it would be under removable disks.

Your antivirus/antispyware software is probably scanning it. Set the software to not do so.

How can I use a gift card on App Store?

How can I use a gift card on App Store?

If it's an iTunes gift card, as opposed to an Apple Store gift card (which can only be used in Apple stores and the Apple online store), then you can redeem it onto your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1574
And as long as you are buying content for yourself (you can't use an account's balance for gifting content) then your balance should be automatically used for your purchases : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.

HT5114 How can I use my gift card to purchase? It says i already redeemed it but I haven't used the money in it.

How can I use my gift card to purchase? It says i already redeemed it but I haven't used the money in it.

Does any balance show on your account ? My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. On my iOS devices it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Store and it should show on the screen that you are taken to).
You can check your account's purchase history via your computer's iTunes : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store
If this is the first time that you've tried to download anything from the store, then unless you followed the instructions on this page when creating your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
If you are getting a message to review your account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054

You cannot use that card. iTunes gift cards are only valid in the country of original purchase.

How come I can't put music on my ipod? I already have a fair amount of music on my ipod but I have enough space for more. I am using a new computer with itunes and it is telling me if I wasnt to put the new music on my ipd i need to erase my ipod HELP!

Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
To move mdia to the new computer see:
