  • My iPad2 does not see the 'purchased' TV shows that I have bought on my Apple TV - what am I doing wrong?

    So,
    I have purchased a series of Top Gear on my Apple TV and want to watch it on my iPad. Since it is all 'in the cloud' I thought that this would be possible. I have read that you can go on the 'purchased' tab on the video app but that only have a film that I bought on itunes some time ago.
    Is it possible to watch the TV shows on my ipad? If so....please help!! Thanks

    Hi,
    Couple of things:
    1. There is no "purchased' tab in the Video app - it's in the iTunes App. Once in the iTunes app / Purchased tab select the TV Series view (top left). You should then see your purchases.
    2. Not sure where you are in the world but I believe previously purchased TV Shows are only avaible for re-download in the USA, Canada, UK & Australia http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085

  • I purchased 15GB of storage but it shows that I only have 14.8GB even after having purchased more. I also removed alot of data and apps. How can I fix this issue?

    I purchased 15GB of storage, but it shows that I only have now 14.8GB available? I also deleted apps and anything that would allow for more space. How can I resolve this issue?

    You. as many other people purchased storage in icloud instead of getting yourself a bigger device (iphone/ipad/ipod). Device storage does not increase with icloud storage purchase. Just like other people you may have to contact Apple for refund and in the future look into buying bigger sized iphone.

  • It shows that I have $25 on my itunes account but when I try to purchase a song it asks for my billing information.

    It shows that I have $25 on my itunes account but when I try to purchase a song it asks for my billing information. I want to use the gift card not pay for it from my credit card. Help!

    Get on a computer with iTunes. Click on your email in the iTunes Store, and hit account. Change billing info to None as card type, make sure billing address is correct, and hit done. It will then save, and allow you to make your purchases.

    buy an external HD   1TB for $60
    NO notebook is a mass storage device, so dont try to turn it into one, it doesnt work that way.
    Unless youre using it every couple weeks, its static data and should be on an external HD
    In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace.  You should never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’.
    Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their computers internal HD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
    Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your macbook has a HD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your computer to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.

    Hey terremo,
    Thanks for the question. From the information you provided, it sounds like the iMac is successfully turning on, however video is not displayed. These symptoms can usually be isolated further by the troubleshooting steps in this article:

    Not all of my perviously purchaced songs are showing up on itunes purchaced link on my account. It show that I have already purchaced them in the itune store, but i have no way of downloading them back into my library.

    If they aren't showing in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (and the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes) for redownloading then have you checked to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?

  • When I connect my iPhone (5s) to my computer it says that it's storage is full and that I have over 4,000 pictures even though I have deleted all of them. It won't allow me to add music or anything else either because it says my phone is full.

    When I connect my iPhone (5s) to my computer it says that it's storage is full and that I have over 4,000 pictures even though I have deleted all of them. It won't allow me to add music or anything else either because it says my phone is full. I have restarted my phone and the computer multiple times, but it still tells me that my phone is full.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

    hello..i use firefox 4 beta 05..my question is..why when i open let's say 6 tabs..my windows show that i have 6 instancies of firefox instead of one like it does with firefox 3.6? thanks
    maybe i am saying it wrong..when i press alt+tab there is only one firefox open..but in windows 7 in the taskbar..every tab open..appears as another window open

    If you are referring to taskbar previews, you can turn them off by modifying a hidden preference.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # In the filter box type '''previews'''
    # Double-click on the preference browser.taskbar.previews.enable to change its value to '''false'''

  • Yje apps show that I have 1 update. I try to update but it shows mt wrong ID and will not allow me to correct it.. I get into apple fine but not the update???

    My system is, OS Yosmite. iMac 21.5. 2.7 GHz. intel core 15. 4GB 1333 MHz.
         It is showing that I have one update; I click on update and I get the ID/password drop down. that is showing my wrong ID. I have logged into  apple without problems but the app store will not recognise my new Apple ID and password. I am unable to change it in the dropdown. 
    I have had this problem since I updated to Yosmite??
    Is there something I can do to rectify this problem.  I have changed my ID and password but still nothing happens.
    <Email Edited By Host>

    Hey Chandrafromgbr,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines a potential resolution to this issue:
    iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5223
    3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
    1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    2. Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
    3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    4. Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • When I try to sync my ipod it shows that i have 2 gigs of other stuff. I dont know what it is and it is taking up space. how do I get it off?

    When I try to sync my ipod it shows that I have 2 gig of "other" stuff and I don't know what it is and it is taking up space. How do I get it off?

    You need to restore you iPod to gedure the "other" to its normal of less than 0.5 GB.  A restore from backup works if the large other is not in the backup.  Make sure that you turn off outo syncing (iTunes>Preferences>Device and check the box that says Prevent iPOds....syncing.  Otherwise, the backup will contain the other.
