HT1918 Why are all of my cards declined on itunes?

I have tried several visa gift cards on itunes and it kept saying my card was declined. I tried all the possible correct info and it still wouldn't take it. All I want is a $0.99 app and the card has plenty enough for that. When I called apple support they kept asking me for the serial number of my device. I just need to know why it isn't taking my card.

The validation for credit cards on iTunes includes checking it's registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and that it was issued by a bank in your country, which prepaid cards won't be. Do you have a 'proper' credit card, or are gift cards available in your country ?

Why are all my backups missing after an iTunes update?

Hello. For reasons unbeknownst to me, my iPhone 4 locked up completely yesterday afternoon. It was lagging pretty hard, so I powered it off and on, or tried to, but it froze on the apple logo for approximately 25 minutes. I wasn't home, so I tried to do a hard reset and the phone eventually displayed a USB pointing at the iTunes logo. Uh oh. Once I arrived back home, iTunes told me the phone was in recovery mode and had to be factory restored. I wasn't happy about it, but I had just backed it up before the dilemma so I figured it wouldn't be a big deal. WRONG. iTunes required an update to version 11.1 in order to continue. Done. Then it told me that in order to restore my iPhone that I needed to upgrade it to iOS 7.0.2 Ok, I was on 6, but if you insist. The recovery was semi-successful-the phone is no longer a brick and is operating iOS 7, but it of course wiped out everything. The only thing to carry over was my apps. When I look in iTunes, the only backups it displays now are from last night, AFTER the recovery. When I look under C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup it displays one that was 30 minutes older, but still only from after the recovery. Losing all my music was bad enough, but I had various important memos stored on my phone, not to mention the complete loss of all my contacts,etc.
WHERE DID ALL MY PRIOR BACKUPS GO? How do I get this crucial data back on my phone? Please help!

Why are all my movies and tv shows now on my ipad with the icloud icon? How can i get rid of them?

Why are all my movies and tv shows from my library now on my ipad with the icloud icon? I have turned off all icloud related services. I have never used it. On top of that, my ipad now gets stuck on step 5 of the sync - waiting for changes to be applied and never finishes.
Help

Hi, go in Settings, under Videos turn off "Show all videos" this will remove the purchased videos to be displayed in the Video app. The same can be done with the music.
As for Step 5, connect you iPad and on the summary Tab, uncheck
"Sync only checked songs and videos". Then wait, it takes a while but this made it work for me after many restore attempts.
good luck

Why are all paths in Clipping Masks and Compound Paths?

When I open up previous versions of Illustrator files (i.e. CS5), why are all of my paths messed up. Every object is embedded in a Clipping Mask, paths are compounded and in most cases type on a path is expanded into multiple non-editable objects. This causes complete redesign. This is terrible.

Because Illustrator accessed the PDF part of the file.
---> this points to corrupt files.
How were those files transferred to your computer? Are they on a server?
How old are they?
Which versions were they created in?
Did you already try to restart (the computer)?
Any plugins installed?

In iTunes under my device, under the apps tab, Why are all the options shaded out? I cannot make any changes, select any apps or do anything with the apps. I was able to load a few apps and sync but cannot sync anymore to my phone.

Hi,
( I search for iChat questions when I have finished in the iChat Forum)
So the menu bar reads iChat, File, Edit, View, Buddies, Video, Window and Help
There is no Buddy List open.
There is no other window for iChat open.
In the iChat Menu you only have access to Status.
Is an item ticked in the list ?
Is this a green (Available item) or Red ( an Away one) ?
Can you access the Accounts option ? (Sitll in the iChat Menu)
Is anything in here ticked ?
In the Window menu any Logged in account should appear in the list (Between the Next Chat and File Transfer items)
It would be useful to know which version of iChat this is.
If no account is ticked (iChat Menu > Accounts) or not showing in the Window Menu, plus you cannot determine the Status and you cannot access the Preferences then you need to access your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
As the Library in the Home Holder is Invisible in Lion you will need the Finder's Go Menu > Go to Folder option (you can use it in earlier OS versions if you want)
Type in:-
~/Library/Preferences
Find the file called com.apple.ichat.plist
Drag it to the Trash and Restart iChat.
This will lose all the settings in iChat that you have changed from Defaults but there is no way around this.

HT5557 Why are all my books that I have purchased no longer in my library?

Why are all my books that I have purchased no longer in my library?

The problem is, if I'm in an area that I don't have service or Wi-Fi and I want to read a book that I have purchased and paid for and I can't retrieve it...it is extremely annoying. I have paid A LOT of money for MANY MANY ebooks. I HAVE NOT DOWNLOADED THE NEW 7.0 SYSTEM BECAUSE I DO NOT LIKE IT. I HAVE IT ON MY IPHONE AND IT HAS TOTALLY SCREWED UP MY CALENDAR AND A FEW OTHER APPS. I DID NOT WANT THE CHANGES ON THE IPAD TOO. In other words, I have done nothing different. My Kindle app is working great and has twice to five times more e-books in it. The sad part is that iBooks charges more and does not get the new releases out as well and timely as Amazon. I use Amazon more often now but I do like to keep my series together and for that reason I of still use them occasionally.

Why are all my contacts suddenly 2 hours earlier than they were entered. I just noticed this today April 24

Why are all my entries on Icloud 2 hours earlier than they were previously entered. I just noticed this today April 23? They do not match what is on my Ipad or on my imac. Looks like the clocks are not syncronised someplace.

Your post is fascinating because your post header says "today April 24" while your post body says "today April 23" So maybe that is related...
Anyway, make sure all your iCloud devices have Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically = "On".
Also, in iCloud.com, open Calendar, go to Preferences (upper right) > Advanced > and check "Enable Time Zone Support".

Why are all of my contacts duplicated on my iPhone/ipad with iCloud?

Why are all of my contacts duplicated on my iphone and ipad when using icloud?

One way this happens is when you previously synced contacts via iTunes/USB cable. If you haven't turned that off in iTunes, then you'll get duplicates from iTunes and iCloud.

First back up the registry

Navigate to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\LocalSettings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify.
Delete the values IconStreams and PastIconsStream.
Open up the Task Manager, go to the Processes tab, select explorer.exe and click End
Process.
Open the Applications tab and click New Task at the bottom-right of the window.
In the message box that pops up type in explorer.exe and hit OK.
Explorer.exe will reload, and the missing icons should now be back in the system-tray
where they belong.

Why are all of our cords breaking, so we can not charge anything?

Why are all of the cords so cheap, and breaking?

I am pretty certain that Apple put something into iOS 6.1.4 to REJECT all 3rd-party power cords. Ever since I updated to iOS 6.1.4, my most trusted cord (4 months old) has been saying, "You cannot charge the device with this cord". BZZZT Apple strikes again !!
Either that, or the new "Kill your battery as quickly as possible" software in iOS 6.1.4 has been draining power so rapidly, that my 3rd-party cord cannot keep up with the massive power-draw from iOS 6.1.4 !! Don't upgrade !!
