HT2534 Hello, I am trying to set up an International Account.
I was given this link to set up an International Account in order to download Apps that are not available at the US Store where I currently have an account. I cannot find a way to set up an Int'l Account on this site...only how to set up an initial account. Help Please!!
Ok, it seems the community is confused. Let me attempt to clarify.
I am an American living in UAE, but my iTunes account is with the US Store, so I have full rights/access to the US Apps Store.
I downloaded an App called WatchESPN, but it will not work because it requires a valid US-based cable provider (however there is an option called "don't have a provier" and it worked for me once on my laptop, but never again).
So, a month or so ago, I recived an email from ESPN announcing a new App, called ESPNPlayer designed for iPAD users to watch live and archived sports. I logged onto ESPN, selected and paid for a package, and the confirmation email included a link the the Apple Apps Store to download ESPNPlayer. I clicked on the link and immediately i recieved a notice on my iPAD "App not available in US store may we switch you to UK store?", I say "OK"....then I cannot download the App because I "do not have an account at this store..."
I contacted ESPN...they replied..."simply created an 'international account' at the following link..." THIS IS WHERE I GOT STUCK AND ASK ALL OF YOU FOR HELP.
Subsequently, I have gone to the Dubai, UAE Apple Store and a nice young man logged onto my iPAD with his Apple ID and was able to find and download ESPNPlay App from the UAE App Store onto my iPAD!! I was very happy; however he warned me to get the App in my own name so I can take advantage of future updates to the App...understood. Now I am back to my original quesiont "how do I set up an International Account?" that someone at ESPN has stated can be done. Why would ESPN promote an App, designed specifically for an American Sport network to watch American sports and NOT understand that Americans living abroad (who most likely would need the App) cannot access??? This simply does NOT make sense.
One final note...I went home, launch the ESPNPlayer App...it opened as expected. I selected an archived College Football game that I missed live...the App stated "please wait, your event will start momentarily..." I waited for 40 minutes all the while the dashboard timeline of the event seemed to be moving along; however NO video and NO Audio of the event! aaahhhhhhggggggg!!! Can you believe this??
I contacted ESPN yet again, who said the following; "Reset your iPAD network device settings, turn off Wifi, turn off location services, and hard-exit the App and restart..."..."restart Wifi, location services, relaunch App and check for video/audio...let me know if this resolves your issue" I am at work now, so will try tonight...
Guys this seems like a real App, with a real problem, that I need some collective help to resolve. I still believe that somehow there must be a way for me to access and download my own copy of this App for future use...assuming I can get it to work.
thanks for all of you help...

I am trying to set up a mail account but I get a warning that my password cannot be sent securely to the server. How do I correct this so that I can set up my email account?
1. If you haven't tried this already, just delete the user account entirely, and then try setting it up again.
2. To find the permissions file:
a. hold down the option key
b. go to the Go menu in the finder
c. scroll down to Library and open it
d. in Library, go to Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences
e. drag it to the trash and restart.
3. if that doesn't work, go to Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access. In the Keychain Access menu, do Keychain First Aid, and repair.
This should keep you busy for a while. -
When trying to set up my eprint account. I get an error message my email
When trying to set up my eprint account. The error message is my email address is on file and I need to sign in, then when using my password, I am told I need to set up an account for the eprint center.
The issue you're experiencing is most likely due to an old Snapfish account registered under your email address. ePrintCenter and Snapfish account information is stored in the same place and I've seen this conflict before. You will need to go to http://www.snapfish.com/snapfish/welcome, click the "Sign In" in the top right hand corner of the page and then click the "forgot password" link and enter the email address that is causing your problems, you should receive an email from Snapfish that will let you create a new password there. Once you've created a new password for Snapfish, try to Sign In on ePrintCenter (http://www.eprintcenter.com/) using your email address and the new password you created for Snapfish.
If I have SOLVED your issue, please feel free to provide KUDOS and make sure you mark this thread as SOLUTION PROVIDED!

I'm trying to set up my purchase account, but it keeps asking me about an iTunes code I have to feel in but I don't know what is that code and where do I get it?
THe iTunes gift code is an optional field, you don't have to fill it in - gift cards are an alternative method of paying for iTunes content, but as they are not available inall countries (and they are country-specific, they can only be used in the country in which they were issued), you may not be able to fill it in anyway. If they are available in your country then you might be able to buy cards from Apple, supermarkets, electrical stores etc
If you have a credit card then you can use that as your payment method instead. Otherwise there are instrutions on this page for how to create a new account without giving a credit card number (it won't with existing, or partially created, accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 -

Welcome to the Apple community.
If your son is under 13, then you will need to set up an account for yourself and allow him to use it. -

Trying to set up a yahoo account in leopard, need help.
i am trying to set up a yahoo account but it wont let me. what are the incoming and outgoing servers for yahoo mail? what settings should i apply? does anybody know how to set up a yahoo account in mail? it says things like "trying to log into pop.mail.yahoo.com failed" and " smtp.yahoo.com failed"
Unless you're a paying member of Yahoo! Mail Plus, you can't use Mail to send and receive email. You can probably send, but definitely not receive. If you're too cheap to pay, then go with a Gmail POP account; it's free.

I have an iphone 4s with ios 6. I am trying to setup a new exchange email account. I need the back slash but it does not show up on the keyboard. I know it is supposed to be on the +key (and is for other apps) but for some reason it is not available when setting up an email account. Is this on purpose or am I doing something wrong?
I can tell you that with Sprint their coverage area isn't as good as Verizon or AT&T.
Are you sending these imessage while on wifi or cellular data? Also your husband would need to be in a good coverage area.
Usually when imessage is unavailable it will send it as a text. Does your husband receive your imessage as a text? -
Help. am lost trying to set up an email account.
after almost 20 years of using the mac for artwork and a pc for office stuff, I've made the total switch to mac only.
problem is setting up an email account.
I had microsoft entourage working pretty good but just discovered that there is no hyperlink feature in entourage, making the program worthless and unusable for our office environment where I send hyperlinks to ever changing large documents withen the organization by email.
I am hoping the apple mail program will be my solution.
I am trying to copy the settings from entourage into the mail program with some difficulty.
Our It guys will have nothing to do with the mac so I'm pretty much on my own for figuring out how this stuff works.
I want to transfer the connecting settings from entourage (or worse case scenerios-the old PC) into the Mail program but they have different names.
Please help me decipher the differences. Entourage has alot of different names for things, public folders servers, exchange servers, LDAp servers, ect. whereas the Mail only has an incoming, an outgoing, and a Outlook web access server fields. I cannot figure out which is which.
hopefully, once it is configured, i will have the hyperlink ability. otherwise, I'll have to use Fusion for Microsoft Office. running the fusion with XP program makes the keyboard work like crap and the mouse un-usably jumpy, not good for trying to draw pictures.
Thanks.unfortunately, the only solution was to keep running windows for outlook email because of hyperlinks. really thought I could dump that old hassle.
