Living in Dubai where many apps are blocked. How can I get around ? Tried to create a new Id but my billing address in Dubai will not match the criteria for an account in the US. Help please to get around the censorship...thanks

The censorship in regards to certain apps not being available in your country is by your country, not by Apple.
Due to various laws and licensing in each country, in order to have an iTunes store account in a particular country you must have a credit card with a billing address in that country. If this were up to Apple, there would be no such requirement and there would be only one iTunes store for the entire world, but various laws, regulations, and licensing issues in each country, this is required by Apple.

    You can get iTunes purchases back by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For other items you need to get them from whee yuo got them the first time.
    The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced mediai like apps and music. If those ore not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update they are lost.

    My iMessage does not appear to be working. Every time I go to reply to an existing message it just appears as normal text. I have tried to create a new message but it still just defaults to normal messages. I have checked my settings but it is all set up as it should be. Is there anything I've missed or could try?

    Try the following:
    In Finder, select the problematic volume and then press command-I.
    Expand the Sharing & permissions section if it's collapsed.
    If the section is locked, then unlock it by pressing the padlock button and then authenticating as directed.
    Tick/check Ignore ownership on this volume.

    settigns>itunes and app store to make sure you are signed in.. If  you are, you will see your account name..... anyhow, click your account name, sign out and sign back in
    also go to to settings>general>reset and reset network settings... if that doesnt work settings>general>reset and reset all settings!
    one of those shall work. The last step would be to restore your device (apple.com/support) HT1414

  • I am trying to create a new profile, but I cannot open profile manager in Mac OS 10.5.8. I get the following error: "dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022 Trace/BPT trap".

    Hello,
    I am trying to repair my Firefox profile, but I cannot open profile manager in Mac OS 10.5.8. When I follow the directions for opening profile manager in my Terminal utility, I get the following error: "dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022 Trace/BPT trap".
    At this point, Firefox (v 5.0 or previous versions), is not running.
    Thanks.

    [http://asqueella.blogspot.com/2010/12/dyld-unknown-required-load-command.html Here's an Explanation]. Basically you need to add "arch -i386 " at the beginning of the command because 10.5 is 32-bit only and more recent versions of Firefox default to 64-bit.

  • Hello, I have a series of language cd's that I am trying to put onto my iTunes but when I download them, they will not save separately instead they are saving as the first disk so i am ending up with 3 disks on 1. Please help

    Hello, I am trying to copy a series of language cd's onto iTunes but each cd will not save separately, instead it is saving all as one disk. So I am ending up with 3 disks on 1 with 3 different track1, 2 etc. Please help as I am sure there is an easy solution to this that I have no clue about. Thanks

    After you insert the CD but before you import it into iTunes, select all tracks and set the disc number to 1, 2, 3 ... as appropriate.

  • Trying to create a new playlist but several songs are marked with exclamation mark and will not transfer into playlist - any advice?

    I have never had trouble creating playlists before but quite a few songs will not transfer and ate marked at the side with an exclamation mark.  I know ZERO about technology so if you can help me in very simple language, I would be very grateful!  I am wondering if it may have something to do with the fact that I have had to start new accounts when I have moved countries, on order to be able to use the credit card of the new country in the Itunes store of that country... I am in Aus and have bought a lot of tunes here but last year I was living in Brunei and, in order to use my brunei credit card ( as it was the only one with money in it) , I had to set it up as different to my Aus account.  Could this be the issue?  prior to Aus my account was in Ireland.  I have paid for all these songs but it seems I cannot now use some of them... Please help!!!  Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer, Lisa

    The exclamation mark next to a song means it is no longer where iTunes is looking for it. iTunes won't let you add such "missing" songs to a playlist. Possible reasons for a song going missing are that you or some third party software has moved or deleted it, or a folder that contained it, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter, or a configuration file has changed making iTunes look in a slightly different place from before.
    Select one of the songs with an exclamation mark, press CTRL+I to Get Info, say no when prompted to locate it, then note down the location from the Summary tab that begins file://localhost/ - please post back this path as given. Hopefully you can find the file this entry in your library is supposed to be connected to. Assuming you can please post back this path as well. These two items of information may suggest a fix through folder manipulation or a configuration change.
    If things have got a little more disorganized then, as long as the tracks still exist to be found, my FindTracks script should be able to reconnect them to iTunes. FindTracks uses some fuzzy matching routines and searches for multiple potential locations. For more details see this thread. Start by selecting the tracks of a single album and then run the script. Your media folder should normally be detected automatically, e.g. as C:\Users\<User>\iTunes\iTunes Media, but you can edit the path if it is wrong or a particular batch of lost files are stored at another path. If it works as expected you can then move on to fixing the rest of the library in bigger batches.

  • TS3899 Mail on my iPad 2 suddenly will not download my inbox for one account.

    Mail on my iPad 2, iOS 8.3 suddenly will not download my inbox. I have two other accounts on the same provider (AT&T - Yahoo) with the same settings that work fine. The account will send mail OK. Sometimes it will return an error message "cannot connect to server" after a long time of the spinning wheel. It was doing this just prior to updating iOS 8.3 and still the same after updating.
    If I delete the account and re-add it, will I lose all my mail folders, the emails saved in them, contacts, calendar, etc.?
    Will a restore recover them at that point?
    Any ideas or suggestions?

    If you delete the account off the iPad you won't delete the info permanently, although you will delete it off your device. If you delete it off your iPad the data will come back when you re-add it.

    Are all your accounts yahoo? If so you may want to read the above posts. There have been issues with yahoo for quite some time now. People have said these fixes work, however I haven't tried any of them since mine is still working.

  • Randomly a blue bar scans across the screen when apps are open, how can I stop that?

    After updating a blue bar scans across the screen. It does it in most of my apps and even when viewing my pix. This never happened before the latest update I installed. It's very annoying. Does anyone have an idea to stop this blue bar?

    I have a very strong feeling that this has something to do with the government requesting the data of 5,000 apple customers. This blue bar scans my screen too coincidentally. While Im on my facebook messages, text messages, recent calls, even on snapchat. On the other discussion, people have cleared their whole phone and it still happens. Your best shot would be calling Apple

  • System Prefs "LOCK" will NOT STAY LOCKED... stuff changes... Help, please?

    I have been using OS X since it first was introduced, and have noticed this behavior in all of the versions that I have run, up until and including 10.4.10, now. It was not too much of a concern to me until now, and I would like to resolve this once and for all if possible.
    PROBLEM:
    System preferences does not stay locked after I lock it. Internet sharing keeps turning itself OFF, after I start the service, and then LOCK system preferences. I go back and check later, and SYS PREFS is unlocked. Sometimes internet sharing is still on, sometimes it is off. Some other times I will go back and check after locking, and it will still be locked, but internet sharing now OFF!!! After a re-start, it is the same as described above. Sometimes OK, sometimes not. I leave the mac on most of the time and rarely turn it off.
    I use the mac as a gateway for two other PCs, in my small network. My wife is the only other human user on the network, with her wireless laptop. I use the other PC (it's mostly off the majority of the time) and the "gateway" Mac OS X 10.4.10. If my wife wants to use her PC and I am not at home when the phenomenon occurs, she does not have internet access, as she is a computer novice and does not use the Mac at ALL.
    When I have noticed the occurrence in the past, it is annoying, but I just check and the turn things on and re-lock what the "gremlins" have been playing with. Now In addition to wanting to keep my wife happy, and surfing when she wants, I would really like the system to operate the way it is supposed to.
    Has anyone else been experiencing this sort of thing over the years of OS X and found a (hopefully) simple solution?
    Thanks in advance.....
    R. Andom

    ..."I am at a loss for what to do as in reality this might really be a security issue."...
    It might be, but it may not...
    I suspect the fact that "Internet Sharing" stops running has nothing to do with "System Preferences" being unlocked - pref panes are apparently unlocked automatically by default when a user logs in to an "admin" account, especially after a reboot:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1790.html
    Most people recommend not using an "admin" account as their main account for security reasons so demoting the account to "standard" might be one option, but otherwise, the "Require password"... option can be selected as described in the "Help" note.
    As for the other aspect of the problem, I have never used "Internet Sharing" so I can't comment on what might be causing it to crash (if that is in fact what is happening). It might help to see if anything turns up in the logs...

  • IPad will not update to iOS 4.2.1 - Error 1645. Help please?

    I have managed to download the 4.2.1 software but in the actual updating phase, my iPad reboots and it is after this reboot that an error message pops up "1645- unknown error". I have tried several times to update my iPad but the error message always comes up. I have also tried restoring, which gives the same error message and I have tried using a different computer- once again giving the error message. Thanks for your help in advance!

    I got the error 1645 with my iPad2 trying to upgrade to iOS6. I did everything that was described on http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2529?viewlocale=en_US, but nothing helped. Every time I tried to recover I got error 1645 or -1. So I talked with Apple Support and they told me to extend my
    attempts to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2529?viewlocale=en_US - but that didn't helped. They were realy
    amazed because error 1645 isn't documented in their KB. I then tried to downgrade (download the firmware from Apple and select the file after pressing "recover" with option key) - same error again.
    They now told me to try it on a different network with a different mac - but that produced the same error again and again. 
    Apple support finaly told me to send the iPad to them, because that seems to be a hardware defect. We will see …
    I'll keep you informed.
