...which is a real shame. I 'married' Kindle very early on, so that's my format of choice. I like being able to read on my e-reader or computer. I find it very odd that Apple hasn't come up with a Mac reader for its eBook format.

Was the content not synced with a computer previously? If it was, simply re-sync with that computer.
Syncing an iDevice to a new computer will do exactly what you describe above as this is not the way to move content to a new computer.

I've bought a film on my iPhone, but I can't download on my PC.

I've bought a film on my iPhone, but I can't download on my PC. If I download it on my PC, I'll have to pay again.

Make sure you're using the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the movie for the iTunes Store on your PC. Check the Purchased section under Quick Links, on the right, and re-download from there

I created an Apple ID on my iPhone, but I can not download any application because a message appears saying that iTunes can not login.

I created an Apple ID on my iPhone, but I can not download any application because a message appears saying that iTunes store can not login. The strange thing is that my Apple ID works perfectly when I try to access my icloud browser on my iMac and even I join this forum. I login with my ID system icloud without problems! Why can not I download applications? What relationship has between iTunes store and iCloud?

You cannot download the same Apps that you have on your iPhone. They are two seperate stores.
The store you have on your iPhone is the same for any iDevice (iPad, iPhone and iPod)
The store on your MacBook is only for Macs.

Hi beckiewinter!
I have some information for you that may help you understand your iPhone's Activation Lock more thoroughly:
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
So in order to update your iPhone, you may need to turn off Find My iPhone. This can be done through the iCloud settings, and more information on those settings can be found right here:
iCloud - iPhone User Guide

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Begin deleting data that is stored in icloud, like emails and iOS backups.

I can see the photo on my iphone but I can not download it

My situation is as below:
1. I reset all settings on iphone
2. Then iphone restart and ask me whether I want to restore from iCloud or iTunes
3. I choose iCloud and it start to restore
4. after the restore, I have 1017 photos on my iphone but many of them are in poor resolution
5. I think there should be problems during the restoration
6. So, I want to make sure these photos can be saved now in case I may lose them in the next restoration
7. Therefore, I connect my iphone to macbook air and try to import the photos into iPhoto
8. However, I can only import those photos with high resolution and those with low resolution is not able to be imported
Is there anyone also encounter this problem and can give me a hand?
Many thanks!!
Frank

Have you tried Image Capture...in your Applications Folder. If not, see if Image Capture can see/import these photos.

HT5557 I bought a book in iBooks but i recieved it is a foreign language. What should I do to get English and not have to pay again?

I bought a book in iBooks but received it in a foreign language. What should I do to get it in English and not have to pay again?

What languase does the book's description page in the store say that it's in ? If it says that it's in English then try deleting it from the bookshelf in the iBooks app and redownload it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app.
If it redownloads in the wrong language then try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If the book's description page says that it's in the language that it's downloaded in then purchases are considered final, but you can try the above 'report a problem' link or Contact site to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you

I bought music from my Ipod, but I can't get them on my itunes acount on my computer. Any suggestions?

I usually but all my music over itunes through my ipod. But i cant get the music on my computer's itunes. PLEASE HELP! Thanks!

Hmm. OK.
Good place to go before connecting any "new" device to an iTunes Library is Edit > Preferences > Devices and check Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically.
The device may need to be unlocked from its lock screen before it will connect to iTunes.
Once the device is displayed in the left hand sources pane the menu option Transfer purchases from "<Device name>" should be clickable.
If the device doesn't show there may be unfinished driver updates going on.
Have you authorised this computer (Store > Authorise this computer) yet? I chose the wrong wording earlier and signing into the iTunes store (if indeed that's what you meant/thought I meant) might not achieve the same ends.

Bought a 2nd hand MBA but now can't download iPhoto

I recently bought a 2nd hand Macbook Air and it already had Lion installed. It didn't come with the Lion USB so I can't do a reinstall if I wanted.
Now when I sign in to the App Store and try to download iPhoto or Garageband, I can't. It says something about my profile not being allowed to download it as the download is attached to another account, presumably the previous owner.
So how am I able to download iPhoto? I don't mind paying for it, but it still won't let me as the only option I get is "Download".
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks

I think you will need to wipe the drive and reinstall Lion after purchasing your own copy from the App Store. I suggest the first thing you should do now is backup anything on the drive you need to keep. Then sign in to the App Store under your Apple ID and purchase and download Lion if that's possible - I think you should be able to do that.
How To Re-Download The Lion Installer
This appeared as a hint at MacOSXHints.com, and will work to force the download of any purchase on the Mac App Store.
Open the Mac App Store.
Navigate to your Purchased page.
Hold down the Option key on your keyboard and click on your 'OS X Lion' purchase link (not on the 'installed' button).
You see the Lion product page. It should say 'Installed,' but that button is clickable. Hold down the Option key again and click on 'Installed.' If you don't hold the option key it will tell you there's already a newer version installed.
Enter your login credentials.
Download.
It's important to hold down the Option key twice. Once on the Purchased page, once on the Lion page. You also can't navigate to Lion directly, you need to open it from the purchases page.
If you follow this procedure you should find the Lion Installer in your Applications folder. Be sure to move it to your Downloads folder for safekeeping. Do not use it to install Lion, rather make a copy to use.
Once you can download Lion you want to keep it and make a bootable USB flash drive installer for yourself:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.
Use the installer to first erase your hard drive then install Lion:
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot from your USB flash drive installer:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the USB flash drive and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

I bought a movie on AppleTV, but how can i download it to my computer?

I bought the movie on the new (black box) AppleTV, but cant download it to my computer. I've tried "Check for available downloads" from the store menu in iTunes on my Mac, but it doesnt find anything to download.

Use the purchased option from the quick links section in the top right corner of the iTunes Store homepage.

Got a Shuffle for Christmas for my workouts. I would like to download my music from the account, but I can't download the music. Do I need to create a new account? If not, what do I do?

I am not able to download my excisting music from my account. What do I do to get me music on my new Shuffle?

What do you mean by you can add music to your Shuffle from your account? Is the music in your iTunes library? Is it configured to sync to your Shuffle?
