HT204074 What is the point of the 90 day timer for associated apple ID's?

Why did apple enable this stupid 90 day timer for purchases between apple ID's?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's to stop you logging into everyone else's iTunes match/in the cloud account and effectively listening to any music that you want without paying for it..

  • What is the point of the download window if you use stacks?

    Greetings,
    One of the most annoying things about the download window was the fact that the window always hung around after completing dowloads in Tiger when using safari. To me, that was just a time waster of always pressing Apple+W to close that window.
    When Leopard was released, I was excited to realize that one function of the download stack was to recevie downloads from safari after completed. However, after completion, the download window still sticks around and I still have to close it... then navigate to my stack of downloads to mount the image. What is the point of the download window is I use stacks now? Why can't the window disappear after completion?
    //Cheers

    Aaargh!! Me too - it's so annoying! Firefox has a downloads window as well - I just don't see the point of it. I didn't like it in Tiger either.
    As a way to see the progress of downloads, it's fine, but it should at least close when all the downloads are finished, and completed downloads should not display.
    Ideally it should look & work exactly like the Copy window in Finder - the one that comes up when you are copying or moving a large file or number of files from one folder to another.
    Is there a hack that will make it work like that?

  • I pre-ordered an iPhone 6 Plus and the delivery date now says October 14th. The point of the pre-order is to get it on release day (or shortly thereafter). Can I go to a Verizon store to pick up my new phone on release day?

    I pre-ordered an iPhone 6 Plus and the delivery date now says October 14th. The point of the pre-order is to get it on release day (or shortly thereafter). Can I go to a Verizon store to pick up my new phone on release day?

    I'm not sure that answers the question Candice.
    I'm in the same situation.  I was up trying to get on the Verizon page at 11:55, kept getting the ECPD error.  When finally got through, the Silver Iphone Plus 64 showed arrival of 9-19.  At every step of the process, it seemed that I was ordering a phone that would arrive on day1.  At no point did it say this was an estimate.  At no point did it say it might change.  In a big yellow box, it said "9-19".  Ordered it, then got confirmation email stating it should arrive at 9-19.   Seems like all should be good, right?  Order site said 9-19, I've got a confirmation email saying 9-19, done and done.
    Then I check the website, and suddenly it changed to 10-14?!?!?!?  I feel like this was a bait and switch.  I was able to pickup an iphone5 in a local store on launch day, and would not have locked myself into a preorder through Verizon if I had known this would happen!
    So, that leads back to the original questions.  Lets assume I walk into a Verizon store on 9-19, and there is an available iphone6 plus just sitting there, can I either get that phone as fulfillment of my pre-order.  Or, cancel my pre-order and buy that phone right then and there?

    PS:  It seems there are many people you misled this way.  For every person who takes the time to post on this site, there are going to be many many more who are silently ****** off.

  • What is the POINT of the Creative Cloud App?

    This is a bug report and a rant:
    Every time the CC app updates, one or more of my Installed Apps disappear from it. With the last update, all but two disappeared.
    The apps themselves (Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Muse, etc.)are all still there on my system, and run fine, they are just gone from the CC app.
    So my question is not facetious - WHAT IS THE POINT OF THE CC APP?
    Do we need it?
    Do we want it?
    Please - don't sing me the "uninstall and reinstall" song, I've done it over and over and it won't play.
    Fix it or lose it!
    Thanks

    If you have very good lighting, the 0.7 MP camera takes acceptable photos.  Light is all you can do.

  • What's the point of the grey space around an image?

    I understand the point of the grey space around an image when viewing in 'Fit' mode, because the image may or may not fill up the viewing space depending upon its aspect ratio...
    But when you zoom in to 1:1 mode, and you scroll around your picture, why is there still this large amount of grey space around your image? If I scroll to the end of my image, it should just stop scrolling, not scroll over the end of my image into this vast amount of unusable and unnecessary grey space!
    It's just annoying that every time I happen to be scrolling around fast, I scroll over the edges of my image into this vast grey space & I just can't fathom the reason for its existence.
    For a better picture of what I'm talking about, see here:

    -Rishi

    Actually, it makes perfect sense to scroll in this fashion. It means that every part of the image can occupy the sweet centre spot of your monitor, even with all the panels open.
    Try it. Even that important corner area of the image can be centred on your monitor. Particularly important when performing some spotting along the edges.

  • What's The Point Of The Documents Switch In iCloud Preferences?

    According to the help pages on iCloud.com, OS X users must manually upload and download documents as they wish to edit them.  This is different from iOS devices as they get the latest version automatically pushed to them.
    What's the point of the of the Documents switch in iCloud preferences if nothing happens automatically?

    It's a pain uploading and downloading from iworks.com
    To me it's a step backwards from using iDisk, Apple needs to sort it out really

  • What's the point of the x-serve?

    what's the point of the x-serve?
    of rack mounted computers in general?
    Do buyers of rack equipment keep it as long as possible?
    I ask that because i wonder how easy it is to sell rack equipment.
    Seems easier to rejuvenate a computer parc if its composed of macpros rather than x-serves.
    is it only to save space?
    do the x-serves do things that the macpro can't?
    (or the G5 x-serve than the G5 towers)

    The XServe really doesn't do anything that a Mac Pro cannot. It is more about robustness and a useable design.
    Except for dual, redundant power supplies and hot-swappable drives - standard on the XServe, not available on the Mac Pro.
    It's main raison d'etre, though, is its form factor. If you run a large network of, say, 200 servers you could, power permitting, fit them in about 100 square feet of datacenter space (40 servers per rack for 5 racks, @ 20 sq ft per rack), compared to 660 sq feet to house the same number of Mac Pros.
    Since datacenter space is charged by the square foot, that makes a huge difference.

  • What Is The Point Of The Login & Keychain Update?

    I installed Leopard on Friday.
    It did not and still does not recognise my Username and/or Password.
    I note that a Login & Keychain Update has appeared in Software Update, its purpose being to address login & password issues "where the password is 8 or more characters".
    (1) I cannot install the Update because Leopard does not recognise my password.
    (2) My password is only 7 digits long yet I'm still unable to access my iMac properly.
    What's the point of issuing an Update for people who are unable to install it?

    Hopefull you will have already seen other posts explaining how to get past the login problem. This worked for me:
    1 Boot up from the install disc (hold down C key when restarting).
    2 Launch the installer as if you are going to install.
    3 From the Utilities menu, select reset Passwords
    4 In the username field type: System Administrator (root)
    5 In the password field type the password you want to use
    6 Quit the change passwords app
    7 From utilities, select Start Up Disk. Choose you HD as the start up disc and restart
    8 Once restarted, select accounts from the System Preferences menu
    9 Click the lock at the bottom left
    10 When asked for username and password, enter System Administrator as the username and the password you changed earlier as the password
    11 Click the enable user to administer computer check box for your account. Your account should now change from Standard to Admin.
    After I did that I could log in and download the software update. I was connecting via Ethernet. However, once thte update was installed my PB G4 stated that I do not have an airport card installed (which I obviously do). I still haven't found anything that works for me to fix that. I have given up for the moment.
    Hope this helps

  • TS1702 what is the point of the Ipod touch(2nd generation)?Every single app Is not compatible with it.Seems like a complete ripoff to me.My phone was alot cheaper and does way more.Very frustrated with this device.

    what is the point of the Ipod Touch(2nd generation)?Every single app is not compatible with it.Am I missing something?My cell phone cost 1/2 as much and does way more.This is why I don't normally purchase any apple products.Overpriced flashlight,that's about all it does.

    There are still some apps compatible, with the 2G. Also, since September, Apple has now allowed download the last version of apps that were compatible with the 2G but have been updated to no longer be compatibles
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app

  • I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

    I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

    Log into the iCloud on your MacBook Pro and enable Photo Stream:
    Then launch iPhoto and set iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences to the following:
    Then check the Photo Stream section of iPhoto:
    This is to confirm that the photos are still in Photo Stream. If they are they will be imported into the library. 
    NOTE: not all photos in an iPhone will be in the Photo Stream. PS only keeps photos in it for 30 days.
    If you have the missing photos in your library put them in an album.  Connect your iPhone to the Mac and open iTunes.  In iTunes you can select that album in the library and sync the photos to your iPhone to get them back on the iPhone.

  • How can I reduce the size of a photo proportionally.  With my old Mac mini I was able to place the pointer on the bottom right corner  hold the shift key until I achieved the desires size.

    How can I reduce the size of a photo PROPORTIONALLY?  With my old Macmini I was able to place the pointer on the bottom right corner of the picture, hold down the shift key and move the pointer to achieve the desired size.  

    You'll need to use a 3rd party editor like one of these:
    Some Image Editors That Support layers:
    Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
    Rainbow Painter - $30
    Imagerie - $38
    Acorn - $50
    Pixelmator - $60 
    Seashore - Free
    Portraits and Prints - Free
    GIMP for Mac - Free
    Xee 2.1 - free
    My personal preference would be for Photoshop Elements for Mac. Most of these will let you select and copy a head from one photo, paste it into another photo, resize and place where you need it.
    PSE has a specific feature just for that function.  I belive the Adobe site for PSE has a demo video of that feature.

  • What does the option 'Settings- incorrect waiting time for status' do ?

    Hi All
    We had an infopackage that seemed to be hanging this morning . (Yellow Status) I was advised to access the option 'Settings->incorrect waiting time for status' and set the wait time to 7 minutes (from 7 hours). This changed the status to Red.
    I then re-ran the ipak and reset the ''Settings->incorrect waiting time for status'  to 7 hours. This made the red process go back to yellow and the run time started going up again.
    Can someone explain what is going on. Have I got 2 instances of the same ipak running simulateously. Why did the red one come back to life even thoug I deleted the request in data target for that ipak.
    Thanx

    Thanks, Verdi - the first time I enabled,/ or disabled, I hadn't realised what had actually changed, as I think I'm so used to seeing my links open in Safari anyway!
