Is it possible that 10.6.8 is fine? Will App store send my info?
Folks:
Seeing the news that Lion will only be an online download through the App store prompted me to test out both 10.6.7 combo and 10.6.8 combo on external HD. Based upon the problems reported here about issues with fonts in PDFs created great trepidation about putting either update on my MBP. But, it appears that I could find no problems with either update in terms of font problems, in those tested--courier, verdana--all seemed to be OK. Wireless seemed to work OK--why didn't I have any problems is what I'm wondering?? Seemed like a lot of people had issues with the font thing, was that in 10.6.6?
Frankly, I'd prefer to buy a DVD of Lion rather than spending the time to download 4GB over the net, no rush to buy Lion, just that the wave passes in time and then the "old" Sno Lep technology will become "un-supported." And, there is the concern of the App store tracking all my apps and reporting on me that raises some mild concern. If I don't set up the App store with my account info will it still send data about the computer to Father Steve? Just wondering if it will be possible to buy Lion direct from the Apple web site w/o using the App store? Don't know if I'd want to trash the App Store if I never use it, but who knows it might be the only avenue in the near future????
Thanks,
e.e.p.

You can install it in other means.
Apple isn't placing draconian DRM or anything on Lion, just making the download through MAS. Which of course one as to register and pay for the download.

Steve said MAS won't be the only option to install programs on a Mac.
"Pro" users won't go for that anyway, they need to be able to install programs and such on location, without a Internet connection or where it's very slow.
Apple is just taking advantage of high bandwidth, but high bandwidth isn't everywhere and data caps are ever increasing everywhere we look.
But this will help you install Lion anywhere.

Rememebr only Snow Leopard users have to upgrade through MAS somehow
Lion comes on the boot drive, with a recovery partition on new Mac's supposedly.

I am suddenly unable to receive calls on my iPhone 4S.
I have spent 2 hour-long sessions with technical support and although they were very nice, it is still not fixed.
When I try to call the phone from a land line, it doesn't ring AND it doesn't recognize that a call is coming in (no missed call) BUT if I leave a message, it records it.
Is it possible that the age of the phone will affect its ability to receive calls?
HELP!MarketingMary,
I am truly sorry to hear that your are unable to receive calls on your device. Thank you tbo27 for providing great troubleshooting steps. Making sure call forwarding is not active by dial *73 is great. Have you already reset network settings also? http://vz.to/RTz70g Are you able to make calls fine? Make sure Do not Disturb is not active. Settings>Do Not Disturb

Is it possible to delete the purchase history in the App Store?
Is it possible to delete the purchase history in the App Store?
No it isn't. You can hide the purchases in the App Store but you can't delete them. But you must do this in your iTunes account in the iTunes app on a computer. It cannot be done from the phone.

i am not able to download free apps. A message comes up telling me that I havent purchased anything from the app store. What do I do?
When you set up your Apple ID, did you enter a credit card? That's usually all you need to do. Even for free apps. Also, the credit card need to be issued in the country of the App Store you use. Now, there is a way to set up an Apple ID without a credit card, but it's (IMHO) a good idea to have one on the account incase you ever do want to purchase a paid for app, or want to make an in-app purchase. I've had a CC tied to my Apple ID for several years now. Not once have I had a charge that wasn't mine or any billing issues whatsoever.

Greetings, I have an iPod Touch, that I recently tried to access the apps store. I can't enter my password, due to not being able to switch the keyboard to lower case letters. I tapped on the arrow up button, and it makes a click sound, but the letters do not change. Am I doing something wrong?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
How can I see the IP address of somone who used my iPad that was stolen to log into my app-store?
I recently fell victim to a theft of my iPad. Albeit it was an old one, it was mine.
Logging on to app-store with my iPhone, I have been prompted many times for "confirmation" of my password and for security questions. Clearly, someone has been trying to log on and has failed. My only guess is that they intend to keep the iPad and download music or whatever. But being prompted for security questions, leads me to suspect that somone has my apple ID but has been plugging away at passwords to buy stuff.
If I was able to locate the IP address (as the unit is only Wi-Fi), I can pass this onto the authorities and perhaps retreive the unit.
Is it possible to load a location app remotely from here and have it load up when the stolen unit is online again?
Many thanks y'allDid you have 'find my iPhone' activated on it? Because if you go to iCloud.com you can log in there and you can remotely lock or wipe your device. From what I hear, the police won't do anything about going and fetching stolen iPads and iPhones, but if you have find my iphone/ipad/ipod/mac turned on then it will give you a map of where it is.
Just keep in mind that sometimes iTunes does ask you for your password regardless, and only a few weeks ago apple brought in security questions, so everyone had to fill in security questions for their iTunes account to make it more secure If all else fails, ring Apple cusomer support and they might be able to bar your account or something, however you may have to make a new account (the might be able to set it up so you have all your previous information on a new account)
Hope this helps! -
I Have purchased some apps from a different app store than the one i am using currently. Is it possible to recover them as i am not finding them in my list of purchases. Thx
If I create a new iTunes account for the German itunes store, what happened with my previous purchases? Do they remain on my iPhone and my Mac's iTunes?
Nothing will happen to your existing purchases. Your computer will remain authorized - you can authorize a single computer to up to five iTunes Store accounts - and the apps and content will remain in place.
Can I switch from one acount to the other every time I want to update an application or purchase a new one?
As long as you're in the relevant country, yes. Again, the terms of use say that you agree not to even attempt to use an iTunes Store from outside of its country.
Regards. -
Is it possible to get iphone 4 unlocked by apple in order to able to use in abroad which is purchased from app store(USA) in November, since app store is selling unlocked iphones in USA???
No.
The fact that Apple now sells unlocked phones independently of AT&T does not change AT&T's 'no unlock' policy.
The phone you bought is locked to AT&T. So far, AT&T have not announced any change to their unlocking policy and Apple cannot unlock an AT&T iPhone without receiving authorization from AT&T. -
How do I restore an app that is no longer available in the app store
I did a couple of really stupid things like trying to install ios8 without doing a complete backup anywhere (really stupid I know) and relying on one program to keep my passwords in without backing it up somewhere. The whole upgrade to ios8 through iTunes went badly and I had to do a restore. I was able to retrieve pics and such from my pc but that's it. I've gone to the App Store and downloaded some of the apps I'd purchased over the years, but the password program I used wasn't there. The other apps I downloaded restored things like webpages I had been looking at before the restore as well as progress in games, so it must be able to retrieve some info from the iPads memory. It's the loss of that password program that's really driving me nuts as I didn't have the info elsewhere. I bought it a few years back but it's not in the App Store anymore. It was called Safe, the icon was gray with a dial like the front of a safe. I'm hoping that there is some way of restoring this app and, like the other apps I've downloaded again, the information will still be there.
has anyone had any experience with this or that could point me in the right direction? It really isn't backed up elsewhere on my pic or the iCloud.If the app is no longer in the store then you won't be able to redownload it, and if you haven't got a copy of it anywhere (you don't have another iOS device which has it on ?), and if you haven't got a backup of the iPad on your computer's iTunes (if you haven't got a backup then you won't have the app's content), then you won't be able to get it and your passwords back.

How do I get an App back on my home screen that I can still open in the App Store?
I deleted an app from my home screen as I wasn't using it. I decided I wanted to use it again so went into the App Store Purchased section. The app has Open next to it, and it does open that way, but I'm unable to get the icon back on my home screen. We've looked online and attempted to answer it that way but haven't seen the specific issue I'm having (so the suggestion regarding the cloud doesn't work).
Go to settings> general> usage> if the app is listed there delete and reinstall it.

Ok I don't understand why this sign that says "Terms and Policy of App store has changed!" So it tells me to go agree the new terms and policy. After i did that it returns to the App Store where i was before. And only like ten to five seconds it appears again! I just dont know what to do! Can anyone help me?!
Sign out of iTunes and sign back in and try again. The issue is being reported as being solved....

Recently when I install apps, the icon does not appear on the menu screen, also, it shows that it is downloading at the app store and when complete, I can not open it or reinstall it. Has happened on the last 4 free apps. Help Please
Reset your iPad. Press and hold both the power and home buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till you iPad starts on it's own. Now try and download an app.
