I did not see your previous post, but the answer to this question is that the "Transfer Purchases" capability of the iPod only works for files purchased from the iTunes Store.
It is possible to transfer other content out of the iPod, but it requires the use of 3rd party programs.

Paid or free apple support if ipad2 is purchased from a non-apple store?

I am thinking about purchasing an Ipad2 from a non-apple store (i.e. Best Buy, Target, etc.). Does anyone know if one has to pay for apple support if the ipad2 is purchased a non-apple store or is it free?

You are entitled to 90 days of free phone support when you buy the iPad - no matter where you buy it. When you activate the device, I think it is registered at the same time. But to be absolutely certain, I would register the device anyway.
The iPad is warranted for one year from the date of purchase from manufacturer defects. Once again, it does not matter where you buy it.
Best Buy and some of the other resellers do offer an extended warranty for additional price as does Apple with their own Apple Care plan.

HT4461 how to download non-Apple store apps on iMac 10.8

How to download non-Apple store apps on iMac 10.8. I want to transfer photos from a Samsung Galaxy S4 to the iMac.

If your Mac is not allowing you to download 3rd party apps that are from a source other than the Mac App Store, it is likely the security setting in System Preferences. Go to Sys Prefs/Security & Privacy/General and set the download options best for you. You will likely find the download options grayed out. You will need to click the padlock below and supply your admin password to unlock the preference pane.

24" iMac Screens better in recent batches? One non-Apple store thinks so...

I've been thinking about getting the Alu/Glass 24" iMac (waiting until at least Leopard's arrival) but after having read a number of threads here I thought I'd better go and check for myself...
I still use a PowerBook G4 15" at home and use a second cheapy (matte) monitor next to the latest white 20" iMac at work. I'm a web developer (not designer) but I would consider myself a pro user, so my standards may be higher than a typical home user, but not as high or finely tuned as a pro-photographer or graphic designer.
I visited a non-Apple store (in Stockholm, Sweden) and although I did not have a long time to play, I made a few basic adjustments to the screen settings (changed gamma from 1.8 to 2.2 and back) and the desktop background (white, light gray, dark gray, black).
Given the number and degree of negative comments I've read I was pleasantly surprised by the screen. Sure there were some colour imbalances (a little of the yellow/brown in the centre of the screen compared to the sides) but no obvious brightness differences from the left to the right side. I could not see any 'backlight bleed' issue at the bottom of the screen, nor any dark spots/corners.
The reflection however was something else! <insert your expletive of choice here>! Wow, the store itself was very brightly lit with many fluorescent tubes behind my standing position. I sure didn't need to turn around to see them, or my own reflection or that of the shoppers walking behind me.
My other concern is the screen brightness with reflection combined - I could imagine this causing eye strain and headaches. I'd need a longer trial to see if this is true for my (slightly less than middle-aged) eyeballs.
My home setting would obvious be very different to this, but opposite a window would be an absolute no-no. This may limit my options. But why should I have to think like this? Sure we had the same issue with CRT monitor way back when, but now? In 2007?
So, onto the subject...
The sales guy at the store saw me fiddling about with the demo model and came over to see what I was looking for. Without prompting from me he stated that this was the first 24" iMac he'd seen that he couldn't point to obvious display problems. This was the third batch of iMacs they had received. He said the first two batches both had dark spots or obvious brightness differences across the screen. I asked about the backlight bleed, explaining what it was, but he'd not seen it (probably because the store was too brightly lit). He agreed that there was a slight yellowing in the centre of the screen on light backgrounds, but otherwise this was by far the best he'd seen. I could probably live with it but not if I did a lot of heavy photography/design.
So have Apple have been quietly (so as to not admit a problem in the first place) making some improvements to later batches?
Personally, I'd have to trial one at home to be absolutely sure before parting with what I still consider to be a lot of money for a 'consumer' level computer (Apple or otherwise). I might try to find a supplier who can lease me a machine for a month to see if it would be ok in my situation, but quite frankly why should this be necessary?

I returned my 24"iMac today -- after receiving the long-awaited response from tech-support on their escalation of my issues/inquiries to the engineering department. The "final" (non)result is that Apple REFUSES to disclose the specific display quality standards alluded to in their claim that:
+"Apple designs, tests and certifies our displays to meet+
+stringent visual ergonomics (front of screen) criteria."+
_Apple engineering's response:_
+"The URL http://images.apple.com/environment/resources/pdf/APES24-in_iMac8-07-07.pdf+
+is for documenting the environmental requirements of the machine. For technical specifications+
+regarding the machine see http://support.apple.com/specs/imac/iMacMid2007.html.+"
_English translation:_
"+Certified? ...stringent criteria?+ You didn't really believe that BS, didya? ...BWAHAHAHA!"
They also flat-out REFUSED to comment (based on numerous screen photos and luminance measurements) on whether my iMac's display, would satisfy Apple's double-super-secret "stringent criteria."
_Apple engineering's response:_
+"Previous reports of luminescence and brightness non-uniformity+
+were found to be within the expected range for iMacs."+
_English translation:_
"Is yours within expected range? ...uh, see "+stringent criteria+," above. ...BWAHAHAHA!
I also asked repeatedly if any remedy was in the works. But of course, since the official corporate position is to deny that any problem exists, they can hardly admit to be working on a fix -- whether they are or not.
... specs?? ...we don't need no steeenking specs!!

How do I use credit that I have with the App store to purchase music from the Apple store in iTunes?

That's the question - I understand that I can use credit that i have on the App store to make purchases in the iTunes Apple Store but I dont know how to do it. If I select and album there is no option presented to allow me to access the App Store credit to make the payment. How is it done?

It's done automatically, you don't need to select anything
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582 :
When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.

Why has Mountain Lion disappeared from my Purchased List in the Apple Store?

When Mountain Lion came out, I purchased the upgrade and installed it one one of my MacBook Pros. Today I wanted to download it again on my other MacBook Pro and install it there. It doesn't show up in my "Purchased" apps in the Apple Store.
I had some serious system errors a few months ago, took this MacBook Pro into the local Apple Store and they reloaded Mountain Lion for me. Did not erase the purchase history? I really need to upgrade the other MacBook Pro.
Help? Someone who knows the solution to this, please respond quickly.
Thanks,
veehbj

Barney,
Problem solved. I called Apple Care and was on hold with three different people, but they finally got me to someone who could check my previous Apple IDs. I had downloaded it under a different Apple ID than I'm now using. When Apple changed from me.com to iCloud.com I found the transition very confusing. At that time I changed my apple ID from just a five letter ID to that same five letters with an @me.com after it, [email protected] I had forgotten how that went as the conversion was confusing to me. It wasn't necessary for me to change my Apple ID. Now I have two.
So, I logged in with just the XXXXX and was able to get into my previous Apple account and there were seven apps there listed as purchased, including Mountain Lion.
So, I'm now downloading the Mountain Lion upgrade App on my wife's MBP and it is coming down, slowly. It's going to take an hour or more to download 4.44 GBytes (probably a couple of hours as I remember from the first time I did this).
So, thanks for your trying to help solve this riddle. I've given you a Star that you helped me. Do appreciate your help and sticking with me the past hour or so.
I was impressed with Apple Care. They really tried hard to help me. Almost made the cost to put this MBP under Apple Care worth it (over $300). Sad thing is that I spent over three hours saving $20. Should have just purchased the Mountain Lion upgrade again under my wife's Apple ID. Lesson learned.

It always ask me to fill my credit card number when I want to purchase just with my apple store gift card

It always ask me to fill my credit card number when I want to purchase just with my apple store gift card. I chose 'none' for my billing address, and it always ask for my credit card Number, and ive actually redeemed $110 itunes gift card.

Apple verifies your payment method with nearly every purchase now for your security.
On an iOS device make sure to tap Done after selecting None.
Same thing on a computer. Make sure to click Done if you select None for Payment Method.

Can you use a Mac Apps gift card to purchase products from the Apple store online?

I was just wondering if you can use that $100 back to school gift card to purchase something from the apple store. (for example: the headphones)
Thanks~

No, Apple Online Store is a different family from the MAS. You can use it on the iTunes Store though.

Try redownloading the app directly to the iPod by:
]Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
It may be that iTunes is not signed into the account that purchased the app or that the computer is not authorized for that account.

I have upgraded to Lion, and want to upgrade my iPhoto 8.1.2, but when I try it says it was not purchased at a MAC Apple store, which it was. Then it asks if I want to buy 9.2.3, and I say yes. It responds with Product Distribution file can't be verified

I have upgraded to Lion, and want to upgrade my iPhoto 8.1.2, but when I try it says it was not purchased at a MAC Apple store, which it was. Then it asks if I want to buy 9.2.3, and I say yes. It responds with Product Distribution file can't be verified. Maybe damaged or not signed. How do I get this fixed, so I can download the new iphoto's that are available.

How did you move your iPhoto library to the new system? the recommended way is Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use
