HT201209 I went onto my computer and set up an account...I entered my gift cards where it said redeem and there is $40 on my account.  However,I have no idea how to use it.  I read that I can take my credit card out and just use the itunes card but again

I went into the computer and set up my account, I then went to where you enter the gift card info to redeem the money and my account says I have $40...however, when I go and try to use it I can not figure out how to do so.  I also read that I can remove my credit card info and just use Itune cards...but again i can not figure out how to do this. 
This is very frustrating because something so simple is turning into an all day fiasco!

Hello Brod1,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing.  The iTunes Store will automatically recognize the credit you applied.  You can find the details of how iTunes Store purchases are billed below:
Order of iTunes billing methods
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.
When you buy individual songs from the iTunes Store:
Free song credits are redeemed first.
If you have no free song credits, gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used next.
If your gift certificate, prepaid card, and/or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance.
If you have no free song credits or gift certificates, prepaid cards, or allowance credits, your credit card is billed for the songs you buy.
When you buy an album on the iTunes Store:
Gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used first.
If your gift certificate, prepaid card, or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance. Note: Free song credits cannot be used for album purchases.
If you have no gift certificates, prepaid cards, or allowance credits, your credit card is billed for the albums you buy.

    I buy for mac app but not for the iPad, so how do I reinstall a program that has already purchased? I need help because I bought the imovie'11 but when he opened it only brought 8 movie trailer templates instead of the 15 it says on the program. How do I solve this problem? Once paid for a program incomplete. I also liked that the AppStore itself had a button to reinstall programs already bought, because it is very hard to understand how to do this in the store, only option is to install and hide purchase, and how do I reinstall, attention'm talking about reinstalling a computer mac, not an ipad or iphone.
    Thank you.

  • Is there an app or way that you can take a single frame out of a video shot on the iPhone and use it as a picture?

    Is there an app or way that you can take a single frame out of a video shot on the iPhone and use it as a picture?

    I don't know if there is an app, but you can take a snapshot of the video.  I do this all the time.   You just need to hold down the power and home key once and it will take a snapshot.

  • HT3078 When I opened up my Apple Wireless Mouse to replace the batteries, there was a metallic "strip" inside. I have no idea how it goes back in and it isn't shown in the instructions here. Where does it go?

    I have an Apple Wireless Mouse (model A1015 EMC No. 1938).
    I metal "strip" fell out. I can not figure out how to put the strip back in.
    Leaving it out, the mouse doesn't work (no light, no nothing).
    Does the strip actually belong and if so, where does it go?
    I went to the Apple site and looked up how to replace the batteries and started off saying to turn off the mouse. I have no idea how to turn off the mouse. It also did not show a metal strip on the inside.
    When I opened the mouse, the battery cover popped off. Without the metal strip, the cover does not pop off and is very hard to remove.
    HELP!!!

  • Does anyone have any idea how do i key in number that contains 20digit, 17 decimal places?

    I need to key in a number that contains at least 17 decimal places using numeric digit control and i need to use expression note as well. Can anyone help?

    After laying down a numeric control right click on it and select "Format and Precision..." to change the number of decimal places. You can also right click and change the "Representation" of the numeric control. By default it will be a DBL which is a 64 bit decimal number with an approximate range of 10**(-308) to 10**308. This is about 15 decimal digits of precision. I know SGL will only give you 10**(-38)to 10**38, which is about 7 decimal digits of precision. Neither of these will cut it for what you are trying to do.
    I would recommend using the Extended Precision (EXT) representation. According to the linked document La
    bVIEW's implementation of the Extended Precision follows the IEEE 80-bit spec(on Windows OSes). Supposedly even the IEEE 128-bit spec(not implemented on the Windows OSes)only gets you 19 decimal places but I am not sure what the limitations of LabVIEW's implementation are. (I found a good table in the LabVIEW help title, "Numeric Data Types Table".)
    I was able to successfully get 17 digits after the decimal point but that was with a leading 0 only before the decimal point. I think you may just be approaching the limit of how a number can be represented in this programming language.
    Anyone else?

  • Im syncing my iphone to itunes because i cant unlock the phone due to water damage so that i can take what is on it and put it on a new phone. how can i ensure that everything was taken from the phone and where can i find it in itunes?

    my phone recently suffered water damage so that the screen does not reigster when i slide to unlock. I am sycing the data from the phone onto itunes so i can put it onto a new phone. How can i ensure that i took everything off of the old phone before i restore it and where can i find all of that stuff when i sync with the new phone?

    iTunes will only store a back up of the iPhone and you find this by following the steps below:
    Windows
    Edit>Preferences>Devices
    Mac
    iTunes>Preferences>Devices
    The link below can show you what is stored in an iTunes back up:

    nothing moves AT ALL
    Galileo said otherwise a few hundred years ago.
    Anyway, one more try.
    Go here and login : https://www.me.com/idisk/
    Click the gear icon and pull down the menu and select preferences. Procede as in the image earlier :
    Navigate to the Web > Sites folder until you see the folder with your sitename.
    Then select the folder/files you want to delete and click the trash icon.
    If that's impossible to do, then wait for MobileMe to delete everything for you next year.

  • I have just downloaded itunes 10.6 and  in the process my "podcast" option under library has disappeared! The files are still on my laptop. I can also see some of my recorded music in my itunes library but can play them - there is an exclamation mark next

    I have just downloaded itunes 10.6 and in the process my "podcast" option under library has disappeared! THe files are still on my laptop. I can also see some of my recorded music in the itunes library but can't play them - there is an exclamation mark next to each track. Basically I can't use itunes - is the only option remove and replace? Thanks in advance

    Visibility of the Podcasts section is controlled from within the Edit > Preferences dialog.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    Missing tracks
    Typically this can happen because a file or folder is accidentally shunted to the wrong location. iTunes can also get confused if it expects to be talking to an external drive which isn't there. If will often reset the default media folder location and may have trouble finding files in the old folders.
    Select one of your tracks that is missing in action. Press CTRL-I to Get Info. Cancel when asked to try to locate the file, then look at the location given on the summary tab. This where iTunes thinks the file ought to be? Now find out where it actually is. Post back the two locations for comparison. I should be able to give you some steps to reconnect everything once I can determine which of the things that might have gone wrong is most likely in your case.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

    Good luck Friend.
    That's not going to help.  That article is for moving photos from iOS device to computer, not for removing them.  Additionally, photos synced via iTunes cannot be manually removed from the device.  You have to use iTunes to 'unsync' them, as FoxFifth stated.
    Camera Roll pictures are the only ones that can be imported from device to computer.  Album folders cannot be moved from device to computer.

  • I read that I can have iworks for free on my iPad if I own a copy for my computer. Is this correct, and how do I download it wit out being charged?

    There really is nothing more to say than what Allan has already said, but to explain just a little further, what you may have read is that once you purchase an iOS app in the app store, you do not have to purchase it again if you need to download it to another iOS device. In other words once you buy the app, you can load it onto unlimited iPhones, iPod Touches or iPads.
    You must be using the same iTunes account that you originally purchased the app with in order to download it again. But as Allan said, just because you have it on your Mac does not entitle you to download it free to your iPad.

    How do I add text boxes that people can edit font type, size, and color in Adobe Reader? I am using Acrobat Pro XI.

    It is possible. Add your text fields and in their Properties set them to have Rich Text Contents (under Options). This will allow the users to specify all kinds of formatting settings for those fields (by pressing Ctrl+E and using the Properties bar).

    First of all, Excel file can't save to iBook.  (iBook only can view PDF files). That's why you don't see it in "open in" options.  In order for you to save excel, you will need a third party app like Numbers, Office2.  There are a few free apps that can use to view.  I used Office2 from Byte2, because I can not only store and view later, I can do some edit too.  Especially when you want to edit a few numbers and re send them to my office or clients will be very useful for me. 

  • I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it

    I accidentally quit my CC on my Macbook pro and now the cloud icon is grayed out and every time I hover over it with the mouse I get the spinning beach ball of death on the icon. I have no idea how to open it because when I use spotlight search to open it it gives me a message saying "Creative Cloud is not open anymore" help!

    Since you didn't include any pertinent info such as the Mac model and OS version you are running, here is some general information:
    Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
    Depending on which OS yours came with originally - and which OS you are now running - you would either need your original install disks - you can call Apple for replacements by giving them your serial number. Or you may be able to reinstall the OS by using recovery (again, depends on which model/which OS).
