Since when did you have to pay with a credit/debit card to pre-order a phone?

I went today with my husband to pre-order him an iphone 4S for Christmas and the guy would not take my cash. He had to have either a debit or credit card. He had no explanation as to why. I asked him several times and he didn't have an answer. Some customer service... Why wouldn't they take the cash? I'm hot over this. I've been a Verizonwireless customer for 15 years... I've never experienced this before. If my service wasn't so good, I'd consider leaving Verizon. What is the reason for this? Why isn't cash good enough?
Not a happy camper in Seattle.....

Probably because you were ordering a back-ordered phone. If you use a card with a phone that they cannot deliver immediately, that could cause complications if something happens and they need to cancel your order. It is much easier to refund money to a card than to find you and refund the cash (which the store may not have on hand, because most people make purchases, especially large ones, on cards).
If you need to pay cash, call ahead to confirm the store's policy and purchase a phone that is in stock at the time.

Do I have to pay with my credit card or can I pay ...

Hi!
I have a Lumia 820.
I would like to download some music from the app Nokia Music.
Do I have to pay with my credit card or can I pay with Conviq card? (it's my phone network).
Thank you for any advice.
Michael.
Moderator's note: The subject was amended as the post was moved to a more appropriate board.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
You need to pay it either credit card or phone bill, however it depends on your location. If you want to download songs from the Nokia Music, you need to check your Nokia account if it's possible to purchase a song using a credit card or using a phone bill.
To do this, go to account.nokia.com/ using your computer and then log in to your Nokia account. On the left side of the screen, click on Payment settings. Then, check under My payment methods if you can use either phone bill or credit card to purchase songs.

HT204088 you have taken 1.58 from my debit card and i do not know why. There is no history for it. Please tell me what it is for

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple, we won't know.
Have you added or changed your credit card details on your iTunes account ? If you have then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.
Store holding charge : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
If not then you can contact iTunes Support via this page and see if they can help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Replacement issues. Do you have to pay with credit card?

Okay how can I find out first of all how much the shipping and handling or whatever is gonna cost me? I live in Huntingdon, Quebec Postal Code J0s 1H0. It asks for your credit Card Number but is there any way I can pay with money order? How is it payed and can I pay it with money order basically.
Someone please help me I'm short on time.
Sincerly, Mikey.

You replied to a post that was made almost a year ago, not usually a very effective strategy, but anyway, no, you need a credit card. From the Cards FAQ:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4990
Cards currently supports payment via Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and JCB only

Did you have a problem with delivery of your new iPad?

I sure did! It never arrived.
Spent two hours trying to place the order with the Apple Store on the first day. I was promised delivery on Friday, March 16 by 3pm. On Sunday, March 11 received notice that FedEx picked it up but was holding for future delivery. This was in PA. I was notified on Thur morning it was being shipped to Indy. Rec'vd in the SE MI FedEx office in the morning and placed on the truck for delivery by 3pm. Around noon rec'vd notice that the shipment was scheduled for future delivery by 5pm.
So I wait around the house all day. 5pm passes and no FedEx. I contacted Apple to cancel the order. They said I needed to ship back the package. I DON'T HAVE THE PACKAGE - FedEx does!
This is very poor service. I could have gone out in the morning and picked up the new iPAD without any delay, but no I decided to order it ahead of time. Apple should have shipped them out right away. I'll just stick with my iPad 2 for now.

UPDATE:
FedEx was never able to deliver the new iPad as promised. I made Apple aware of it and they are tracking it back to them.
I'm very disappointed in FedEx as they were ill prepared to handle a large amount of deliveries. It would have been quicker and easier to just walk into the store on Friday and purchase one. I'll never pre-order again. I just don't have the time to stay a home for day's on end in hope that FedEx might show up.
Apple was very supportive during this process and I hope they look at FedEx's failure for future releases. As I said they are tracking the shipment back and issuing me a credit. For now, I'll just stick with my iPad 2.

Paying by a credit/debit card with an available gift card balance showing.

Hi everyone, I have a quick question. I am looking to download some music off of iTunes and I have an available balance from a gift card on my account. I would like to pay by debit card instead. How would I go about doing this and not having the purchases come off my available balance?
Thanks again.

Did you have video problems with Flash Player 10.2?

Hello Flash Player community,
We're getting ready to release Flash Player 10.3 and we'd like to ask for your help and input. If you encountered video related problems with the current version of Flash Player on sites like YouTube, we're especially interested to learn if the change's we've made to 10.3 help you. We've tested this internally, and while we've seen a definite improvement, we really want to expand the scope of hardware and have those previously impacted try again.
Here's all you need to do:
1. Install the latest video drivers for your system (see step 3 on this page for video driver links and instructions.) This is important, as older drivers contain limitations and bugs that can impact hardware acceleration in Flash Player. Flash Player works with all video cards, but it's possible hardware acceleration might not be fully supported on older hardware.
2. Download and install the browser appropriate Flash Player 10.3 from labs.adobe.com. If you encounter problems installing, please let us know. When upgrade issues occur, it's recommended you run the Flash Player uninstaller (Win, Mac), then try installing again.
3. Verify that the Flash setting "Enable hardware acceleration" is checked.
For instructions on finding this setting, please see step 1 of our Troubleshoot video playback issues article. Ignore the instructions to uncheck this setting, we want hardware acceleration to be enabled (make sure “Enable hardware acceleration” is selected/checked.”) If video still fails, please disable hardware acceleration and try again.
4. Navigate to the following two video samples and verify that both video and audio play correctly:
http://www.youtube.com/embed/tgbNymZ7vqY?wmode=direct
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/live-player/
Note: The second link is a large 1080p HD video, so don't worry about any buffering/bandwidth issues with this video: what we're looking for here are display issues (black screen, corrupted video, etc.)
That's it! We'd love to hear your success stories, especially if you were one of the ones that ran into problems when 10.2 was initially released! However, we're equally interested in hearing if things don't work correctly. Please let us know on this thread or send email to [email protected]. Please include a brief description of the problem and your hardware diagnostic file.
Thanks,
Chris

Do all members in Family Sharing have to pay with one single account's credit card?

I have a credit card registered in my account and my sister has her own credit card, yet, I want us to Family Share some apps and music albums.
When I sent my sister the Family Sharing (FS) invitation, she told me she would better not join the family 'cause then we would both have to pay with one credit card (which would be mine since I'm the family organizer). I wanted to know if this is actually true or if each family member can have his/her own credit card even after FS.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

It is true. All purchases by members of the family group are charged to the family organizer's credit card. The only workaround for this would be for her to purchase and redeem iTunes gift card to create and iTunes store credit for her account. Then her purchases would first be deducted from her credit before any balance due would be charged to the organizer's card.

Ever since I upgraded to IOS 7 on my iPad, it does not remember my passwords, even though I check "keep me signed on". Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing? I did not have this issue with the previous OS. Thank you.

Thank you, James, but I do have a WiFi connection on the iPad mini. The Numbers files update on my iPad third generation and iPhone just fine when connected to the same network.
Do you have any other suggestions?
Thank you!

If you get an iPad with the 3G do you have to pay for internet service?

If you get an iPad with the 3G do you have to pay for internet service?

No. But you have to purchase a data plan in order to use the iPad via the 3G connection. Some 3G iPad owners do not have internet service at home and rely only on the 3G connection.
If you do not purchase a data plan to use with the 3G, then you will only be able to use your iPad where you can find a WiFi connection - like at a library, or a Starbucks, Barnes and Noble, a friend's house that has WiFi .....

Hi cannot import RAW photos from my canon eos 5d mark 3 to iphoto 9.6 with iOS X Yosemite. Fotos are black. Did you have a solution for that?

hi cannot import RAW photos from my canon eos 5d mark 3 to iphoto 9.6 with iOS X Yosemite. Fotos are black. Did you have a solution for that?

Thanks. Once ImageCapture had accessed the photos, THEN iPhoto began to pick up the data, so I was ultimately able to do both. It only worked with the cable, though, not the card readers. Weird.
And I really appreciate the ImageCapture tip. Any idea why it worked?

Hmmm, Norton extensions are broken again in Firefox 4.0.1. It seems that Norton didn't allow for Firefox 4.0 security updates when they updated their Firefox extension for Firefox 4.0. Norton says they'll have a fix in two weeks. A Norton user posted a fix in this forum thread.

Thank you.

Turn off iMessage in your phones settings. Apple devices can only use iMessage to other Apple devices.
Turning off iMessage will allow the messages to go as regular text messages.
