    I'm tried to enter my credit card info but it keeps saying declined I had this issue a few years ago but I forgot how I fixed the issue

    If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management

    Just transfer them from iTunes.
    If they are not in iTunes. connect the iPod, then File > Devices > Transfer purchases.
    Then connect the iPhone and sync these songs.

  • My update does'nt finish, and I can't shut down!

    bought my n95 today, charged the battery for 10 hours, and then after talking to some friends decided to dowload the latest software.
    Well, I did everything right. And suddenly my phone shut down, with fullcharged battery, and I just did as it said, and took out the battery, and pressed "retry",

    Hi xcarmen
    Unfortunately that is just the worst time to get "phone recovery" message and it is highly likely that you will now have to visit a Nokia Care Point to have the software re-installed. Once the USB connection has been broken, Nokia Software Updater fails to recognize the attached device.
    I am not saying that it would have made the slightest difference here, but you are advised in FAQ to NSU to plug-in mains charger when updating phone software.
    Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

  • When we purchased our mac two years ago, we set up the iCloud account.  this past winter I created a new iCloud account thinking I was changing it.  I now cannot access anything on the old iCloud acct and my computer hasn't been backed up either in awhile

    when we purchased our mac two years ago, we set up the iCloud account.  this past winter I created a new iCloud account thinking I was changing it.  I now cannot access anything on the old iCloud acct and my computer hasn't been backed up either in awhile.  How do i go back to that old account and delete it so that I can continue backing up on the newest account?  I changed it because the original one I created an iCloud account with is a yahoo account email address and I am deleting my yahoo account for being compromised too may times. 

    Well, you can go to Manage your Apple ID and change the password if you can answer the Security Questions:
    Apple - My Apple ID
    If you cannot remember the Security Questions you can contact iTunes Support to reset them for you:
    New iTunes Support - US and ww
    Once you get your password reset and you can access your account info on Manage your Apple ID, you can change your ID. You won't be able to use the same email address that you are using for the new ID unless you change that one to something else. But, if you can get back into your old ID and change it to a new email address, then you can go on using that old ID, and just manually move the iCloud stuff you added to your new ID back onto the old one. Most of the stuff (like Contacts, Calendar, Notes) can be added by logging onto https://www.icloud.com on your Mac and doing it that way (it is a lot simpler when you have an actual keyboard in my opinion)
    Hope this helps you to sort out the two ID business. If you have any questions, please post back!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community! Sorry, but clarity is absolutely critical in this case...hence:jasonallencataldo wrote:
    Everytime I try to set it up it says, "email already in use, enter a different one".
    Please clarify exactly the steps you take to get to that point (e.g., boot up > initial configuration screens > configure BBID, etc.).

  • I purchased a song almost two years ago and the song is no longer present in my library, but it is listed on itunes store as purchased.  How do I get this song back?

    @caragam, if the songs are no longer in your purchase history it means either they have been hidden or the original items are no longer available for sale on the iTunes Store or you are logged into the store with a different Apple ID.
    To see if they have been hidden in iTunes pull down Store > View my AppleID. Enter your password when prompted. In the middle of the screen, click "view hidden purchases." See if the purchased items are here. If they are unhide them and go back to your purchase history and re-download them.
    If the purchases are not hidden and you do not have a backup then the songs are gone and there is no way to recover them. This is why we keep backups.
    If you used a different Apple ID to purchase the song, log out of the store and log in with the appropriate Apple ID and download the song. Be aware this could trigger a 90 day lock out of the other store account so make sure you really, really want that song.

  • I purchased I movie on Feb.15th 2014, and now when I go to update it, it's showing the apple i.d. of the previous owner of this laptop from two years ago. I can't update it on my computer? Help?

    If the tech didn't erase the Mac as I stated above, he hasn't properly prepared your Mac for a second hand owner. Nothing less that erasing the HDD and returning the Mac to the shipping version of OS X so you may set up the Mac as a new Mac will suffice. All Macs since the introduction of OS X lion have shipped with iLife apps from the Mac App Store installed for free. Prior to Lion, they shipped with the boxed version of the apps.

  • I purchased Creative Suite 5.5 two years ago and never installed it.  Can I now load this on either a new Mac or PC?  Will there be updates available for this software?

    I purchased an upgrade version of  Creative Suite 5.5 two years ago, but never installed it on my PC.  I plan to purchase either a new Mac or PC soon.  Will I be able to load this upgrade 5.5 on my new computer and get existing updates?

    You will have to install it on the same type of platform for which you originally purchased it... Windows or Mac... suites are platform specific, and CS5.5 is not eligible for a platform swap.  Whatever updates exist for CS5.5 will be available to you, but it is not likely that there will be more produced.

  • I've had a 4s for two years and today when i turned it on it told me my phone could not be activated becasue the activation server could not be reached.  what should i do?  i'm lost.

    i've had a 4s for two years and today when i turned it on it told me my phone could not be activated becasue the activation server could not be reached.  what should i do?  i'm lost.

    i do not know what this means.  I purchased the phone brand new two years ago and have never had any problems with it.  The message i am getting reads:
    "your iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached.  try connecting your iphone to itunes (which i don't have) to activate it, or try again over cellular connection in a couple minutes. (which i have tried several times with no success)  you can also try to activate using wi-fi connection (which i do not have).  if this problem persists, contact apple support at apple.com/support."

  • I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way?

    I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way? I appreciate that it is a different computer but I am now the end user of both devices and I was just wondering if it was possible.
    Thanks,
    Sean

    The answer would be in your software license agreement for Aperture. However if you cannot locate it you can ask in the Aperture forum, the link for that is:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/aperture
    However I believe you can have Aperture installed on two machines however only one may be using it at a time.
    On the new iMac launch the Mac App Store - Purchased - look for Aperture and download to your new machine.

  • I have purchased an Iphone 4 in Dubai two years ago. The model number is MC319LL. And unfortunately, I attempted to upgrade it online to a newer version 5.0.1(9A405) but right away my sim card was blocked. I can no longer use the telephone.

    Dear Sir:
    Two years ago I have purchased an Iphone 4 here in Carrefour Supermarket, Dubai UAE. The model number is MC319LL. Unfortunately last November 2011, I attempted to upgrade the OS to 5.0.1 but rightaway, my sim card(Etisalat UAE service provider) was blocked. As a result, I can no longer use the telephone function. I just found out recently that this model number .i.e.MC319LL is to be used for AT&T. My question is, how can I restore my unit to work as a celphone? And why is it that when I upgraded it, it was blocked. Was it illegal to sell this phone in the UAE market?
    Thanks a lot.
    Kathleen Jewel

    You purchased a "hacked" iPhone(hacked to unlock it) from a non-official source for iPhones. Unfortunately, that's the risk you take when you purchase from a non-official source. There is no way to get your phone officially unlocked, & all warranty & support has been voided. Sorry, but you don't have any good choices here. Your best bet is to go back to Carrefour Supermarket & get your money back, then purchase an iPhone from an official source. If they won't give you your money back, have them "fix" your phone...they will have to "hack" it again. Good luck.

  • HT2731 Had iTunes account 4-5 years ago and had all my music stored and now I can't access it, how do I get into old account to get music off

    Had I tunes 4-5 years ago and now it won't let me access iTunes to get music that was stored thanks

    Okay.  My bad.  I just looked up what the home sharing feature encompasses.  And it basically just to be able to stream to any device.  But it doesn't actually store it to that device.  For example:  I open my iTunes and turn on the home sharing.  Then I turn on my Apple TV and search for computers.  And now I'm streaming a movie from my computer's itunes library directly to the TV without having to connect my computer to the TV.
    Here is my advice. And this is what we do in my house.  If you love your Dad's iTunes library, Then just Download all of the audio files to your computer.  While you won't be able to use the cloud features that itunes purchases provide, you WILL be able to have your father's music.  But you'll have to store it at home, on a hard drive somewhere where it's always accessable.
    Actually I have a network drive where I keep ALL of our MP3 and iTunes purchases housed.  And I just drag them from the network drive into iTunes then sync.  This way files aren't being moved all around the house.
    Notes:
    Anything you purchase from iTunes is always readily available in the cloud and does not take up any of your free 5GB cloud space.  Just like when you download apps.  If you have to reset your device, those apps are always still yours to redownload for free since you already bought them.
