Apple wants your money. Is it really that hard to figure out?
Here's a work around.

    Yes, you can sync your own music to your iPod via your computer's iTunes. If you have the music on your computer but not yet in your computer's iTunes then if it's in a compatible format then you should be able to add it via File > Add To Library - if it's not in a compatible format you will need to convert it first.
    If your iPod is on iOS 3 then it sync to the iPod app, if it's on iOS 5+ then it will go into the Music app (in iOS 5 the iPod app was redesigned and renamed).

  • Mail does not respond when trying to set up new account

    I'm trying to set up my brand new @me.com email account on my brand new Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion 10.8.1. I open Mail and it prompts me to write my name, email adress and password, which I do. Then, without fail, it says 'Searching for mail servers from the specified email address...' for a few seconds before freezing, with that message still displayed. I have to force quit Mail, which is said to be 'not responding'. Anyone know how to fix this?

  • When trying to set up Sync account and enter my actual password, I get an "invalid email address"warning. Help...

    When I go into Sync and try to set up an account, I am asked for email address (which is <[email protected]>. Immediately as I enter the "meinig58" the "invalid email address" red warning comes up. How do I solve this problem and establish my Sync account?

    Write the whole email address and wait for a second to validate it.
    The validator tells you that you have entered the wrong email until you finish typing a valid one. Developers are working to fix it.

  • Error (SRAS121) when trying to set up messages account

    Hello, I am part of a large goverment organization and we were issues iphones on at&t. I would like to setup your "messages" application on my pc so that I can send and receive emails on the computer due to poor reception where I work. When I try to make an account it says: We can link only personal accounts to your AT&T Access ID.Log in to your Small Business account separately to manage it online.
    (SRAS121) Is there anyway around this? Thanks very much for any help you can provide,

    Does anyone from AT&T monitor and respond to questions on this forum?

    Please help me, I can't download anything from the app store, im being asked of a set of credit card numbers and i have none

    None Payment
    Sounds like yo did not follow the instructions
    Did you create a NEW account using the instructions in Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card using an email address you had not previously used with Apple?
    You have to.
    Maybe that option is not available in your country. It works in the USA

  • HT2534 I have my Apple ID but there is a pop up menu that tells me to review my info.But   when i clicked Review it says that i have to put a card number and a security code,and the expiration date pls help me..

    When I started to install Apps. on my iPad there,a message tells me that I have to review my Info.After clicking review there are only 3 choices:VISA,MasterCard and Amex.But we don't have credit card.What should I do?

    You cannot use that ID without a credit card. You did not create your account correctly. There is very specific way in which you must create your account if you do not want to use a credit card. If you don't have a credit card, you will have to start all over again.
    1. You will have to sign out of that ID before you can create a new one. Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID>Sign out.
    2. You cannot use the email address that you used for the first ID that you created. You will need to use another email address now
    3. You have to download a free app in order to start the new Apple ID process.
    Read this before proceeding.

  • Getting unknown error 0x8004011c. when trying to set up email account in Outlook 2013 with a Domain

    Hi all
    The title basically states the problem - Outlook 2013 wont set up with a Domain. This only seems to affect Windows 8.1 pro, Win 7 Pro has no problems.  If I log on to the computer itself (not the domain) Outlook runs no problem
    If anyone has any ideas I would be most grateful
    Thank you
    Fionnbarr

    Hi Fionnbarr,
    When you say "...with a Domain", do you mean login to the computer with a domain user account?
    Does this happen on all your Windows 8.1 clients? What's the error message in full? At which exact step will you get this error?
    So you have observed that "This only seems to affect Windows 8.1 pro", it could be an issue with this specific system. I would suggest we first check for Windows updates and install any available ones, then try again.

  • Why am i being ask to charge my card when a book in the ibookstore is free, why am i being ask to charge my card when a book in the ibookstore is free

    Are they really gonna charge me when it states its a free book??

    You won't be charged for a free book.
    If you do get an entry on your credit card it is most likely just going to be a holding charge that is made to check that your credit card is valid and active, and also possibly that it is registered to an address in the country whose iTunes store you are using. These types of charges should disappear off your card within a few days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702

    If you are getting an 'invalid security code' message then is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
    And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store
