Making a purchase for the first time, security questions are different to what I've set up?

Hello,
My friend has recently gifted me a $10 for my app store. After redeeming it, it says I have $10.00 Credit, which I assume is a good thing. Now, with this money he has sent me, I am trying to buy a Gem Pack in the game 'Clash Of Clans', this costs $9.99.
I click purchase and it tells me "Insufficient Remaining Store Credit" where it also says "Tap Continue to Sign In". After typing my password in, I am led to the account billing settings where I've got the 'none' option selected as I have not put any credit card details which shouldn't be a problem as I'm trying to buy with the money my friend has given me.
I click the 'done' button where it then tells me "confirmation required" where I then click 'buy', but then it comes up with "Verification Required".
Putting in my password once again, it asks me for security questions. Here lies the problem. It usually asks me one question I know, and another that I haven't put in before. Usually "What's your dream job?" comes which I've put the answer to as this is a question I know. But, after it usually asks me either "What was your first pet's name?" which is a question I haven't put before.
I've tried going to appleid.apple.com and changing and resetting my security questions multiple times, even to match the questions that are asked and it gives me the same result.
"You've typed one or more security questions answers wrong".
Please help, this is getting on my nerves. If this persists, I'm afraid I won't be buying from iTunes much.
Cheers,
Jack.

After resetting your questions you've tried logging out (tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store) and back into your account on your iPad to see if they then tie up ?
If they don't, and resetting them yourself doesn't make any difference, then you could try contacting Support and see if they can help with what's going on.
Normally when needing to contact support to get the questions reset you need to contact Support in your country : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
You could try the same contact method for your problem - or you could try contacting iTunes Support via this page, but as it's related to security questions they might just point you to the above : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ , click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
For the $9.99 purchase and your $10 credit, if you are in the US then you need to add on your state's sales tax to an item's listed price

  • Materials purchased for the first time

    Hello Gurus,
    I have this requirement to find the list of materails that will be purchased for the first.I was thinking of subtracting entries in table S012 from MARC for doing the need full. If you have some other better suggestion please share. It will be very helpful.
    Thanks in advance.

    hi,
    Download the material procurement details either from EKPO (Purchase order was created) or from EKBE (Good receipt had occured) in excel and then get the count of material which are previously procured.
    Now you have the list of material which are previously procured.
    similarly download the material details from MARC table (if you are looking for specific plant materials).
    In excel do the VLOOKUP on both the files, if you are not getting the material code in procured material list, then that material code was never purchased.
    regards,
    S Anand

  • Setting up a cluster for the first time: newbie questions

    Any help appreciated with this situation:
              I'm trying to set up a cluster for the first time and running into
              issues (no big surprise). I'll outline my situation and pose questions
              as they arise. If/when I get things to work I'll post a step-by-step
              summary of what it took to get a simple cluster going.
              Here's what I have:
              machines:
              1 Windows 2000 machines with WL 6.1
              2 RedHat Linux machines with WL 6.1
              All machines are on the same Home LAN, can see each other, etc.
              IP addresses are:
              Windows box: 192.168.1.100
              Linux box 1: 192.168.1.102
              Linux box 2: 192.168.1.103
              servers:
              I've set up the Windows machine as my admin server, and set up
              a managed server on each Linux machine. I created a cluster that consists
              of the 2 Linux machines and deployed the web app and EJB to the cluster.
              The Windows machine is acting as a Proxy using ClusterServlet.
              The web application has been set as the Default Web Application on the
              two Linux machines. All 3 machines are listening on ports 80/443. I also
              set up session memory replication through the console.
              Application:
              I have an application that I package as an EAR file. I'm using it as a
              "reference" application designed to mimic a real world app as much as possible.
              The EAR file contains a web application that uses Struts. It also consists
              of a single Stateless Session Bean. The WAR file and EJB Jar are all
              packaged up into the EAR file. I've been able to run this application just
              fine on a single managed server on all 3 machines.
              The web application works fine, and it can invoke the EJB. I can also
              invoke the EJB from Java stand-alone clients. Struts works great. All is
              well with the world. Now I'm trying to "cluster-ize" this app using
              the environment described above and encountering issues.
              I've read the docs and followed the instructions according to the
              "Weblogic Bible" book. I can bring up all 3 servers and the Linux
              managed servers connect to the cluster just fine. I can also
              see the Struts messages in their logs which normally happens and tells me
              the webapp is initialized properly. The console tells me that the managed
              servers are running. I get no error messages starting up any of the serves.
              Here are the problems I am encountering.
              When I try to access the Web Application (through a browser on the
              Windows machine using http://localhost) I get the following error message:
              <Nov 19, 2002 6:44:33 AM EST> <Error> <HTTP> <HttpServer(1754841,null default ct
              x,admin) found no context for "/". This request does not match the context path
              for any installed web applications and there is no default web application confi
              gured.>
              Also, when I try to invoke the EJB through a stand-alone Java client,
              I get a JNDI lookup error on the EJB's home interface.
              Questions:
              Question1: I noticed when setting up the machines that console lets you
              define a "Machine" or a "Unix Machine". What's the difference? Should I
              define the Linux machines as Unix machines or machines, and what are the
              consequences of either choice?
              Question2:
              I'm not totally clear on how my web.xml should look to set up Struts,
              the ClusterServlet, and a servlet filter I'm using to test Servlet filters.
              Here is what I had before I tried to cluster and which works fine:
              <filter>
              <filter-name>MainFilter</filter-name>
              <filter-class>com.refapp.servlets.MainFilter</filter-class>
              <init-param>
              <param-name>myAttribute</param-name>
              <param-value>Foo</param-value>
              </init-param>
              </filter>
              <filter-mapping>
              <filter-name>MainFilter</filter-name>
              <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
              </filter-mapping
              <!-- Struts ActionServlet Configuration -->
              <servlet>

              (I have set up a "dummy" 0-length file called index.do that triggers
              Struts to go into its ActionServlet when first accessing the web site).
              Here is how I added ClusterServlet to web.xml:
              servlet>

              </servlet-mapping>
              <servlet-mapping>
              <servlet-name>ClusterServlet</servlet-name>
              <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
              </servlet-mapping>
              Clearly there is a problem with the Default Web application not being
              seen/mapped properly. Any chances my URL mappings for the filter servlet,
              Struts, and ClusterServlet are stepping on each other?
              With respect to the EJB, here is what my weblogic-ejb-jar looks like:
              <weblogic-ejb-jar>
              <weblogic-enterprise-bean>
              <ejb-name>Hello</ejb-name>
              <stateless-session-descriptor>
              <pool>
                   <max-beans-in-free-pool>100</max-beans-in-free-pool>
              </pool>
              <stateless-clustering>
              <stateless-bean-is-clusterable>true</stateless-bean-is-clusterable>
              <stateless-bean-load-algorithm>
              round-robin
              </stateless-bean-load-algorithm>
              <stateless-bean-methods-are-idempotent>
              true
              </stateless-bean-methods-are-idempotent>
              </stateless-clustering>
              </stateless-session-descriptor>
              <jndi-name>Hello.Home</jndi-name>
              </weblogic-enterprise-bean>
              I run this through ejbc and package everything up into the EAR file.
              However, I get a JNDI lookup failure when I try to access the Bean from
              a standalone Java client running on the Windows machine.
              Here is the jndi.properties file that I am using:
              java.naming.factory.initial=weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory
              java.naming.provider.url=t3://localhost:80
              Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? I can post config.xml also if needed.
              Thanks in advance!
              

    Let me try to answer :)....
              A1> No need to name diff machines by default weblogic
              considers the servers are physically located in diff boxes.
              The names are used to differtiate the mang servers which are in
              multihomed
              Some things to chk
              1> Did u targeted the ear file Target as cluster.
              2> Can u see on the Admin console that both the man servers
              are participated in the cluster( u can see by clicking the monitoring
              tab on the Cluster node).
              3>Is the URL:PORT for the default web app correct?
              the reason: is I dont see the port# on the link u mentioned
              4> probably ur ejb might not been deployed on the target thats the
              reason u cant access thru java client. If u correct the targets that
              will probably fix it.
              Hope this helps
              Please post the result
              Thanks

  • Re making your calendar for the first time

    Hi, I am having a little trouble figuring just how to create my first calendar using photos from my i photo library. I know that it most likely is a relatively simple process, but in as I am a first timer, I would be most grateful for any and all advice on how to create a calendar from start to finish using my photos. I must admit sometimes I have difficaulty understanding and putting together in my head what the instructions are trying to convey to the reader, so your patience will be much appreciated. You may if you wish, email me at ****@*****.** with your advice or assistance. Thank you so much for your time and patience.
    <Edited by Moderator>

    Select a group of photos that you want in your calendar ( you can always add more later by dragging them from the iPhoto event window on the right to the Calendar album on the left) and click calendar in the tool bar at the bottom (if it is not there go to the view menu ==> show in toolbar and check it)
    You will thereby create a calendar project in the source pane to the left and open it - select a theme and start dragging photos where you want them in the calendar
    Once it is like you want it click buy
    Or do it the easy way and use the online Apple Tutorial - http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#iphoto-gifts-14

  • HT201272 ok I rented to movies yesterday. I went to watch them today for the first time and they are gone? How do I get them back?

    What happened to the movies I rented????

    Welcome,
    If you are refering to the Dock Icon which showed you your Downloads folder then open a Finder Window on your Home folder and drag the Downloads folder to the dock. It will create an Icon for the folder.
    Not sure about the Bootcamp icon, don;t use it but if there is a Bootcamp folder the procedure should be the same.
    regards
    BTW Starting a discussion is the same as asking a question.

    You may have no need for additional but Apple does. They don't want your iTunes account to be hacked and then go complaining to them that their security procedures are not up to standards.

    So how can I continue in the good old fashioned way?
    Its really absurd to even ask this in light of the information that you have been given already. The "old fashioned" way is gone. It's Apple's store, Apples's rules and IMO - its a wise decision on Apple's part.
    You do not have to comply at all, but you will not be able to purchase from iTunes anymore, but nobody is going to force you to do something that you do not want to do.
