Is it the time to go to Google? iTunes is much more expensive than Google Play!
I know that iTunes is amazing. But now that Google Play's started renting movies in my country (Brazil) I guess if iTunes worth it's high price for everything...
I have an Apple Tv, what is very good, however isn't complete as well, per exemple that doesn't have a way to change the subtitle size, what's a really simple feature. Otherwise its items are extremelly expense here in my Country. While a movie is rented by Google for R$ 6.99 (~U$3.49) the same movie is rented by iTunes for U$4.99, so I guess: WHY???
Do you guys have the same felling than I have that Apple has charged so much more money that it would? Anyone here is thinking about migrate to Google Play/Android plataform?
Why do you guys think about all of that?
If you find a better price elsewhere, by all means patronize that other company if you wish. We have no control over pricing here, we just being fellow users, and these forums are for technical support questions, not pricing debates or comments, so further discussion on the matter really isn't appropriate here.
Regards.

I have $8.05 balance on my gift card. I tried to buy an app more expensive than that so i had to add my credit card to the apple account. But I couldn't use the balance from the gift card anymore. How can I select to use it? or did I lose it?
The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
The MAS should use any credits first and then apply the remainder to a listed bank card. -
i have an iphone that is using battery life much more quickly than in the past, a full charge is going to zero in a half a day or so, with out much use.
an icon is also appearing next to the charge percentage in the top right, and the icon is a circle around a lock
can anyone tell me what the problem is, and what the icon means?The Icon meas your display orientation is locked to vertical so it wont change when you turn the phone sideways.
First thing you should check with the battery life is multitasking, which also happens to be where the orientation lock can be turned off. check out http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4211 and go from there -
Since loading Lion, I've experienced much more instability than Snow Leopard. In particular, Mail crashes with regularity, full-screen apps seem to run slower and show the beach ball more often for longer, etc. I love the features, but I'm disappointed with the performance. Any help coming from Apple? I've been sending them so many reports after crashes, that their file must be full!
Summoning max. courage, I did what you advised. Here is the result. What does this tell you? My Lion 7.2 (mid 2011 iMac) has several annoying glitches (which I have so far tolerated through gritted teeth) but none that have actually stopped me working.
BTW, I see several items involving CleanMyMac which I did not know I had. It is generally villified as a trouble-maker. Spotlight can't find an app. or a utility of that name. How can I get rid of what's there please? Just delete?

Why is the iTunes shop in Australia more expensive than the rest of the world?
Why is the iTunes shop in Australia more expensive than the rest of the world?
How do you know that there is not parity?
Do you know Apples expenses in each country?
Apple has to sell the music for the price that they can negotiate with the owners of the distribution rights in each country.
Perhaps those who own the rights to distribute the music in Australia simply negotiated a higher price. -

How to restore an iPad when it is rebooting all the time and cannot connect to iTunes
Two days ago, I was updating applications. The iPad crashed during the process so I did a hard rebood. Since then, the iPad is in a perpetual reboot mode.
Once in a while, I get the security keypad but as soon as my password is put, the iPad freezes and then, goes in reboot.
We tried to connect to iTunes on our MacBook Pro but the connection is often not possible because of the reboot.
A few times, we were able to see the iPad menu and even tried a restore from iTunes. iTunes downloaded the iOS 6.1.3 again (over multiple connection/reconnections) but no help. The iPad is still rebooting all the time.
What can I do?Send the iPad into DFU mode and then restore it through iTunes.
Google the instructions on how to place your iPad into DFU mode. -
Time Machine takes up much more space than actually data backed up...
Every time I backup with time machine, it uses up gigs of space on my backup drive, regardless of increment or decrement of data on Mac. I could put 200 megs since last backup and TM eats 4 gigs. I don't change the file exclusion selections at all. Just curious if anyone knows why that is?
I find it hard to believe I added 4gb since last backup.
You'd be surprised. Sometimes you add more than you think. Any downloads, recently edited documents, etc all will add to the total. Plus system files such as browser history are updated and backed up as well. If it has been a few days since your last backup, I wouldn't worry. If this is happening ALL the time and you know that you have been barely using your computer, you may have a problem that needs to be further looked into. -
Why is officejet 6700 black ink more expensive than the other colors
why is hp officejet 6700 black ink almost twice as expensive as the other colors?
The black cartridge is larger and has more than twice the ink of the standard color cartridges.
If you do much printing you might want to consider the XL version of the cartrdiges. The 932XL is rated at 1000 pages for $32 compared to the standard black cartridge rated at 400 pages for $20.

Why is the upgrade for Adobe Photoshop and Premiere elements more expensive than just buying them?
I currently have Photoshop and Premiere Elements 12 installed on my mac and when I go to upgrade to 13 the price increases from just buying the two because of the sale. Can I just buy them for the cheaper price and uninstall the current version? ..or do I have to upgrade and pay more money?
I don't want to have several full versions! I wanted just to upgrade it.
Whether you buy one "full" version and upgrade it several times or buy several "full" versions, after installation, the end result on your hard drive is exactly the same.
The only difference between upgrade and "full" is the price you pay at the time of upgrading.
If the "full" version happens to be cheaper than the upgrade then buy the "full" version. Nothing lost. Nothing gained.
A "full" version actually makes your life easier since you only need to enter one serial number if you ever need to re-install. With an upgrade, you have to enter the upgrade serial number plus the earlier version qualifying serial number - people often lose the previous version serial number. -
Paying retail in the store more expensive than buying online?
So I went to the BB store and most of the phones are going for about $500. The salesman told me that going without a contract would require me to pay the full retail price of the phone. But I go on bestbuy.com and I am able to choose phones with no contract for $200. How is that possible? Was I just looking at cheap phones on the site? I was looking at a blackberry on the site for about $200. Not sure what I saw at the store, but they were in the smartphone class.
It depends on the type of phone you are buying. The phones online you are seeing without a contract are probably locked phones that once you decide to use them you must use a specific service like Boost Mobile. I saw a Blackberry from Boost Mobile for about $200 online. With Boost you pay for a monthly service card which activates the phone for a set amount of time. When that time runs out you either buy another card or the phone disconnects. You should really pay close attention to these service cards and how they work, if you want continuous coverage they are not really that great a discount.
These phones are not available online though and are only In Store - ask for the no contract phones. If the store has any they are located in a different spot than the $500 ones.
There are also refurbished "unlocked" phones in the Outlet Center selling for about $200. These come without a SIM card and you would just move one from an existing phone to these to use them.
The $500 ones are in some cases better than either of the types above, but in most cases the types above are subsidized by whomever is selling them (like Boost) or refurbished (used phones someone else no longer wanted and cleaned up). The $500 ones are the "true" cost of the phone and the 2-year contract is the subsidization.
Before posting I try to research everything first or use my own experiences. I do not now nor have I ever worked for Best Buy. I work for the competition.
If you respond to a post of mine, I will read it. I may or may not post in the thread again, but rest assured I will read your response -

Why is the iphone5 so much more expensive in Canada than in the US??
With the Canadian dollar near parity, why is the cost of the new iPhone5 so much more in Canada???
It's not.
Announced US pricing is for a subsidized device on 2yr contract.
All other pricing that I have seen for iPhones in other country's is for non-subsidized devices. -
I was wondering if anybody can tell me why the Apple IPhone 5 is $600 US/AUD more expensive in Australia than in the US!
thanksThanks for the reply - I still know that this issue is also relevant for so many other apple products which don't involve cellular providers.... I think Australians are tired of paying so much more for things than in the US and other countries. It used to be explained by the poor Australian dollar but that doesnt exactly work when we are over parity with the US dollar and have been for a while now....

The Time Machine backup of my photos is a lower quality than the originals?
I recently had some problems with my mac and ended up deleting my iPhoto library. Fortunately, I had a Time Machine backup that was only missing a few months. When I recovered the iPhoto Library from my Time Machine and loaded it into iPhoto, I realized that the pictures are in a lower quality (almost like thumbnails of the originals). Is there something I may have done wrong, or is there anything I can do to get my original photos back?
Any help is greatly appreciated...Try right clicking on the iPhoto Library and "show package contents" it's really a folder and inside should be a folder called Originals.
Copy this folder out onto the desktop and then delete the iPhoto Library, then restart iPhoto and reimport the Originals.
