Online Store In Flex

Hi all... Am currently in the process of building an online
store, the database is a MySQL database, and I originally was going
to do the whole thing in PHP... But have started to look into
building it in Flex as an option... I have posted on a heap of web
forums and no one there will really stick up for Flex so thought
I'd post here to get some feedback from the other side of the coin
so to speak...
Obviously an online store IS achievable in Flex, but is it
advisable? I'm assuming like Flash Flex doesn't have great SEO
capabilities, and I guess for an online only store that would be
important. But I'm thinking that alot more interactivity can be
achieved building an online store in Flex... Anyway if anyone has
any opinions would be much appreciated...
Thanks!

I am no expert on flex, but I've heard that there are things
you can do to make flex sites SEOed. (Search Engine Optimized) But
I wouldn't be the person to ask about that.
But I do run an online store that was built in php (zencart)
and runs with a mysql backend. We have decided to switch our
frontend to flex, and use php as our middle man to access our mysql
database. For us, flex will give our users a better experience. I
personally like the ability that flex gives you to separate the
front end from the back end, so that you can make your site
available to more users on more platforms. That is an obvious
benifit over php.
Also, with Flex 3 coming out soon, and Adobe AIR, you can
even make a front end for your store that runs as a local
application on a users computer - I'd like to see php do that! :-)
But using flex you wont get away from php totally - you will
still need it for database access and the like.

Could you please tell me why as a Brit resident in Japan therefore having a billing address that is Japanese is forced to only get service from the Japanese online store? Is there not some way of allowing me to select movies and music to buy and download

Could you please tell me why as a Brit resident in Japan therefore having a billing address that is Japanese is forced to only get service from the Japanese online store? Is there not some way of allowing me to select movies and music to buy and download from other stores. Why do am i forced to try to nread Japanese when I have selected English as my language. The price for Downloads is no different and even if it was I am happy to pay. This also applies to Movie rental which is crazy and extremely restrictive. I a supposed GLOBAL community why does Apple do this.

You can buy ONLY from the itunes store of your country of residence (As proven by valid billing address of credit card) and ONLY while inside the borders of that country.
These are the terms of the itunes store.

How to buy a MacBook Pro from the Online Store

Well, I'm Indian, and apple does not have an apple store in India(not even an online one). I need the new MacBook pro with 16 Gigs of ram in it.
I do regularly travel to Australia and am considering buying one from their online store. But it asks for an AUSTRALIAN CARD. Did I just get something wrong or I need an Australian Credit card(if that's the case, I'm screwed). Also can I use an international credit card or am I done for????

You could also try contacting an Apple retail store in Australia and see what their policy is for an in-store purchase and if you can reserve a unit for when you are traveling there.

How can I get a document from apple online store with IMEI number on it?

Hi
I got my iPhone stolen, and currently have insurance requesting a document with IMEI number on it, I called apple and they say this doesn't exist?
I tried to explain to insurance, but they won't listen. I have sent in packing list, shipping notification, and scan of sticker on box with IMEI and serial number.
2nd email
Thank you for your email. We require a document with the full IMEI number on it. Once this is received we will be able to continue processing the claim.
Kind regards
1st email
thank you for sending us your documents, unfortunately the proof of purchase you have sent in does not show the serial number or the imei number, so i cannot match it to the side of the box label to use the two together for a proof of ownership .To enable us to continue with the processing of your claim, we require a valid proof of purchase for the mobile phone you are claiming for.
This must confirm the make, model and IMEI (International Manufacturers Electronic Identity) number of your phone and can be either a letter from your airtime provider on their letter-headed paper, a copy of the original receipt or despatch note that was provided to you when your phone was purchased. (this is not a air time bill)
Thanks a lot,

I bought from Apple online store, and IMEI only appears on sticker on the box which I've peeled off , scanned and emailed. Called apple and they said document doesn't exist with IMEI number on it. I've saw on another post someone managed to get apple to send them receipt with all the info within 3 days so I'll call back tomorrow, just the guy I spoke today didn't think it was possible.
Thanks

How can I file a formal complaint with the Apple Online Store Canada?

I've spoken to two customer service representatives at this point about an order that I cancelled within a half an hour of placing it, as I was initially unaware that the product I purchased would not fit my sister's iPhone. As stated in the Cancelled Order portion of the following page: http://store.apple.com/ca/help/viewing_changing_orders#cancel, I should NOT have been billed for the order. I was billed last Friday and am still yet to receive the refund, despite the fact that the first rep I spoke to advised that my money would be refunded in one day. The statement on the link I provided is completely misleading, as well as the email I received stating that I would not be charged at all. Someone with Apple must amend this statement on the website and the automated emails, as it could be considered legally misleading. I will in no way be pursuing any legal action, as I don't have the time and I'm only out $90.00, but I can't imagine having purchased the MacBook that I wanted to purchase prior to this incident and going through an ordeal like this again. Can someone please advise who I should contact and where I can find their contact information please? I love the apple products that I own and would hate to discontinue my customer relationship with the company.

Also, please remember that no refund from any store is instantaneous. They will process the refund, probably within 24 - 48 hours. After that, your bank/credit card company has to credit your account....... mine takes at least 3 business days to do so (the banks are very efficient in posting charges, but like to keep the money for a couple of days before giving it back to you - they've been doing that for years).
Edit: I just checked their return/refunds policy and it includes this:
Once we receive your item, a refund is initiated immediately. If you canceled a pickup item, and you were billed for it, we initiate your refund immediately after you submit your cancel request. The way your refund is processed depends on your original payment method:
If you paid by credit or debit card, refunds will be sent to the card-issuing bank within five business days of receipt of the returned item. Please contact the card-issuing bank with questions about when the credit will be posted to your account.
Products purchased from the Apple Online Store using an Apple Store Gift Card will be refunded to you as an Apple Store Gift Card by email within 3 business days. If you’d like us to mail you an Apple Store Gift Card, ask the representative helping you. You will receive it within 8 business days via United States Postal Service (USPS). If you purchased an item from the Apple Online Store and are returning it to an Apple Retail Store, you'll receive an Apple Store Gift Card by email within 3 business days.
Note that it states it will be initiated immediately, but will be sent within 5 business days.
Read the entire policy here:

How do I remove my credit card information from the Apple Online Store? Not iTunes store, the online site.

I'm trying to remove my CC information from the Apple Online Store, but it won't let me erase it. When I look for a way online, I only find information on how to erase it from the iTunes Store. Maybe the answer is right in front of me but I'm not seeing it, but some help would be much appreciated.

Hello Spennetrator94,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains helpful advice concerning payment information. Removing the payment information from your Apple ID will remove the data from the various stores.

Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?

In the last month or so, I've had one problem after another with the Canon Online Store; from being unable to delete items from the shopping cart; to not being able to add "in stock" items; disappearing Wish Lists; and just now, I tried to add one lens cap to the 6 or 7 items I already had in the Shopping Cart, and they disappeared.
I've called, more than once, and I've written, also more than once, to Canon Support about this, but they ignore what I tell them, and tell me there are no problems with the Online Store. They don't even seem to report to anyone that anyone has complained, because each time is "the first time", even though I've called (more than once) and written (more than once) to them about continuing Online Stores problems.
Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?
Why does Canon not care to track reported problems with the storefront part of their web-site?
I'm not trying to insult Canon, it's just that I've been a Canon customer for less than 3 months, and the're only batting .333, so far. Canon Support was very quick to respond about a concern I had that a 50mm f/1.4 I had just purchased was authentic or not. In trying to register that lens, I looked up on the Canon web site where to find the serial number. Since my new lens did not have any numbers there, I was concerned I had been sold a fake. But, then Canon Support sent me link to a different online document that showed a few different places where it might be, and there it was.
Is Canon like that with other problems, as well? Or is their "batting" average better than my very limited experience?
I just love my Rebel T5i, and my Canon lenses (from "the Kit brothers of the Cropped Frame coral": EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, and EF-S 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM; to the "Truly Nifty Fifty", the 50mm f/1.4 USM, [the f/1.8 is just a "thrifty fifty"], and finally, the "Super-Macro" MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1x-5x Macro)!

Hi Danny. Thanks for replying.
I only use my desktop PC to access Canon's web site, and I've been using Mozilla Firefox for years. And, yes, it is the latest version. Since Canon REFUSES to support the use of Firefox on it's web site, WHAT BROWSER DOES CANON SUPPORT? WHEN did Canon STOP SUPPORTING Firefox?
I've been told that there are 2 pending orders in my account. Yet, I NEVER placed those orders! WHY CAN'T CANON SEE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM???
Instead of off-target suggestions, and pasted boilerplate REFUSALS TO EVEN LOOK at this issue, I would prefer it if Canon went "old school", and FIXED THE PROBLEM, in the first place! But, maybe that's a bit too grown up of an answer for you!
"Award-winning" support??? And, just exactly WHAT AWARD did Canon "support" WIN for CONSISTANTLY IGNORING REPORTED PROBLEMS??? The OSTRICH?
Please pull your head out, and FIX this problem, OR YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!!
Thank you for your "prompt" attention to this matter!

IPod Classic 160GB film library sync problem - trying to sync films that have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store - all other libraries sync perfect - why?

Hello Apple and the iTunes Windows PC users community.
I am trying to sync films that I have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store. The mp4s all appear and play successfully in my iTunes application but will not sync across to the iPod film library folder.
For your information: I am using iTunes 11.1.3.8 on a Windows 7 64bit machine with 500GB hard disk and 8GB of Ram in the UK.
I have restored the iPod classic 160GB three times now to see if it was a hardware problem with no joy. Each time all the music restores properly as do the podcasts and all the items in TV programmes all appear to sync and work fine.
I have also tried to copy films into the TV Programmes to get around it with no joy. They always go to the films section to start with. It is just the Films library that does not sync - all others work perfectly. As a last resort I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes with no joy either.
I am technically savvy and have gone through the itunes and ipod settings but nothing appears to make a difference - This is the first time I have had to post here as I can usually solve the majority of the ipod anomilies but this one has me flummoxed.
Has the film encoding type changed in the newest itunes update? - Has this happened to anybody else and is it a hardware, software, or operating system problem.

Having uninstalled the current version 11.1.3.8 and loaded and older version of iTunes 10.7.0.21 I can now categorically confirm that the newest update seems to be causing the problem as the films and TV Programmes are syncing perfectly on this older version.
If you are going to do this please dont forget to remove the ' iTunes Library.itl' file as this stops the older versions from running as I've just found out

The No Service means there is a problem with cellular service. You mention wifi in your title. Which is it you are having trouble with? What happens when you switch on and off as you state in your post? Are you saying that wifi does not connect while at home either?

IMac - online store order

Thought I would post the following just to get some general feedback — has to do with a somewhat strange response we’ve received from Apple in association with the recent iMac order:
My wife and I placed an order for a brand-new 27 inch iMac 13 days ago. In the interim, Apple has changed the shipping times on new orders from 3-4 weeks down to 1-3 days (as of last Friday) and now down to 24 hours (as of 12-24 hours ago).
So naturally my wife and I thought we would be receiving notification sometime during the past couple of days that our iMac would be shipping out.
No such luck.
Tracking the order online, it says it’s still expected to ship out March 26-March 30. (Configuration: 3.4 GHz Quad core, 3 TB Fusion drive, 8 GB RAM, 2 GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 680MX.)
After contacting Apple today, I was notified that they do not know why the order isn’t being shipped sooner and they cannot do anything regarding the order itself.
“So should I just cancel the order and place a new order?” was the question today. “After all, if it only takes 24 hours for shipping on the new order, might as well cancel this one and place a new one so we get it in just a few days time.”
The Apple representative did not advise this, saying it would take at least 5-7 business days for credit of the credit card we used, then we would need to start the process all over again.
Sorry, but I find this whole situation a bit frustrating, unnerving, and unusual… Especially for Apple.
My wife and I are of course willing to wait for the order to come in. But at the same time, we would think that Apple would go ahead and make sure all of the previously-ordered iMacs had been sent out before changing the online Store notification (3-4 weeks down to 1-3 days, down to 24 hours).
Any thoughts…?

You should cancel the order and order it again. You don't lose anything, and this may or may not work. Also, note that yours is a build-to-order iMac (a customized iMac), so this takes more time than just one of the basic iMac configurations
In the USA, any custom configuration of the new 27" iMac will shoot up the delivery time by several weeks. They're already halfway through the estimated period of time to deliver a custom configured iMac. Cancelling doesn't make sense, unless they want one of the stock configurations, because they'll be resetting the clock to waiting 2-3 weeks.

Call the online store and ask them! We are just users like yourself. Besides, you will get a much faster answer directly from the horses mouth and it will be correct!

Can i buy a MacBook/Pro from the US online store from another country?

Hi guys,
is it possible to pay for the US online store for buying a MacBook / Pro and ship it within the states of course??
one of my family members are there and they are not that much into computers, is it possible to buy it from here (Jordan) using a Jordanian Credit Card and put the shipping address in the states??
I didn't know where to post this exactly, so hope i can be answered and hope i can be directed into the right department instead of deleting it

Sorry, but the US Apple Store cannot accept credit/debit cards with billing addresses outside of the US nor checks on non-US banks.

How can I buy an unlocked iPad 2 from online store

I want to ask if I can buy an un locked iPad 2 from the online store
notice that I am not in the United States and I am going to used it out side it

I guess there's huge differences in mobile telephony and and mobile Internet understanding in US and Europe. Mobile market in Europe is much more liberated and unified at the same time (GSM being the only widely adopted system in Europe - so far at least). The question in the first post was really simple:
If I buy AT&T (GSM) version of iPad 2 will I be able to use it with other GSM micro-sim cards from other carriers worldwide? Or is iPad locked to AT&T USA like iPhone is.
Then all of a sudden people started to talk about Verizon and AT&T differences, eBay thing etc - it is not the point.
So let's wait for someone who can get their hands on iPad 2 GSM (AT&T), travel to Europe, swap the sim and then confirm here for our benefit.
