HT204053 Why do I have to have wifi connection to view purchased items on iTunes?

Answer question

It means you probably haven't entered your credit card information for your account yet.  If you want to get free apps without doing this you have to create an Apple ID without a credit card by following this guide exactly: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534.  Note: you start by downloading and installing any free app, then create the ID.

  • I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

    Yes, I did try to go on my settings>wifi and was waiting for any wifi signals to pick up, but nothing shows up. But on my PC I get a whole list of networks to choose from. Regarding my neighbor, I already have her password that is why I was able to get it on my PC, the problem is that the mini Ipad is not picking any signal neither can it locate me when I go to maps.

    Can you load a webpage in Safari with that wifi connection? If so then it's a problem with the iTunes Store app connection. If not then your wifi isn't fully functional and you need to troubleshoot that first.

    Any ideas greatly appreciated, it will save me a journey to the apple store

    I have now solved it. I signed out of my iTunes account and then held down both the power buttons until the apple appeared. When I signed back in it started downloading.

    This is possible to be connected to WiFi but not internet.
    You connect to your modem/router via WiFi and whether it is connected to the internet or configured properly to route the internet to WiFi devices is a different story.
    Now if you've already reset your WiFi (try disabling and enabling) and perhaps even restarting your MBP
    Then make sure that your modem/router is connected to the internet.
    You can try any other device, lights on the modem/router or use Eth cable to test.
    Report back your findings.

    There are often places to go which have free WiFi ie coffee shops, shopping malls, fast-food places.
    You can connect the phone to your computer & download/update via iTunes if you have one.

  • Why should we have to connect to jdbc rather directly connecting to odbc?

    Why should we have to connect to jdbc rather directly connecting to odbc.why there should be a bridge?

    sandy,
    The short answer is: because it should.
    The long answer is: bb-ee-cc-aa-uu-ss-ee  ii-tt  ss-hh-oo-uu-ll-dd.
    The really long answer is: JDBC is portable. ODBC isn't... It's yet another Microshite-locked-down psuedo-open technology... So go implement an ODBC driver (in pure java please) if the concept gives you wood.
    Or just just use the jdbc/odbc bridge (if you must) like the rest of us.
    Cheers. Keith.

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • Why do I have to enter my password everytime I open iTunes?

    Why do I have to enter my password everytime I open iTunes?
    The only time I don't have this issue is if I open up iTunes within a few hours of signing in. If more than 10+ hours, I have to sign in with my password.
    I can't see an area in the preference panel where I can bypass this step.
    It makes sense if I'm in the iTunes store and purchasing a song, but not if I simply want to listen to an existing playlist.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Actually, the only thng that will do is set the frequency of requiring the password once it has been entered the first time. The default (I think) if restrictions are NOT turned on is fifteen minutes. Regardless of this settings, the AppleID password will need to be entered at least once (more if there is a substantial amount of time between purchases.

  • HT5569 i dont have wifi connection , so how can i activate iphone using cable?

    i dont have wifi connection , so how can i activate iphone using cable?

    Cannot connect an iPhone to cable, Ethernet or any other wired network media. But since I assume you want to activate the phone so it works as a phone thru some carrier, you can activate it thru that carrier's data link. Just make sure you have a data plan in the contract or pay-as-you-go SIM.

  • Hi, is it possible to download apps using itunes because we dont have wifi connection, we only have internet service connected to PC. thanks

    hi, is it possible to download apps using itunes because we dont have wifi connection, we only have an internet service connected to the PC.

    There are some steps on this page for syncing a device (the page talks about iPhones, but it would work for iPads as well) to a new computer : Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive.
    When you connect an iPad to a computer's iTunes for the first time it might give you two options, to replace what is currently on the iPad with what is in that computer's iTunes library, or to set it up as a new device (i.e. remove all content from it) - hopefully the above page will get around that.
    You should be able to use different computers to update the iOS version and to sync content (can you not use the same computer ?), but you will probably have to do the above for both.
    If you don't currently have anything on the iPad that you don't mind losing (have you downloaded apps or other content when you've had access to wifi e.g. in shops, other people's homes ; or got any documents etc on it) then you don't need to go through the steps on that page.
