Trojan Horse? -- "Don't ask me about buying music again"
I'm really worried -- I clicked to buy a song from the itunes store and instead of downloading, a strange screen popped up reading something like: "Don't ask me about buying music again!" I did not click again, thinking I just opened up a trojan horse. I shut it down and began running my Norton Antivirus immediately. It's still scanning; no results yet.
I'd appreciate a response from anyone else who has seen this or knows something about it. Thanks!
Thanks for your help, B!
I have Norton Internet Security 2006, fully updated, which is supposed to pick up on adware, spyware and the like. It found nothing.
I also use "NoAdware," which caught a few adware items and an "unidentified malware" item (could've been it). I let it delete all of those things.
I also let my Iolo System Mechanic 2006 do a complete clean-off, just for good measure, then re-started.
I haven't had trouble since, but I'm still nervous about the message that popped up because it did not seem to be related to any sort of advertisement and no one seems to have encountered the problem before.
Anything else I should do? Anyone else ever seen this?
Thanks,
WR

Undo "Don't ask me about this file" selection
In my haste this morning I accidentally selected the "Don’t ask me about this file again" option in the "Unable to Find Source File" dialog box while debugging my application in JDeveloper. How can I undo this selection? I'm trying to step through the execution of a function which resides in a library to which I do have the source. This library is contained within a jar file with source included or I can unpackage it into class and source directories, if need be.
Thanks,
HariUnfortunately, closing and reopening JDeveloper (ver. 11.1.1.3.0) did not fix my problem. I chose the step into option in the first line of code that accesses the library, and it did not ask me again to find the source to that library. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,

I want to update my applications I keep on entering the password and it keeps asking me about it and again I enter it and nothing happens although it is correct I can download new apps but can't update the old ones
Then you will need the password for the old account in order to update the app.
apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase the app.

Hi, I was trying add a second computer on iTunes Match.
I was signed into iTunes on both machines with a single ID which already has iTunes Match from the primary machine. When I selected iTunes match on the second, it asked me to subscribe to it again rather than add.
To try to fix this, I signed out of the primary machine and so i was only in the second computer. This didnt work and when i tried to log back into Match on the primary machine it has the same problem now, asking me to buy iTunes Match when I already have it!
Now I've got it on neither machine- can someone please help!!

Only one library can be matched at a time. If you continue, the other iTunes Match session will be stopped and this computer's library will be matched instead.
Hi,
You often get this message when match thinks that you already have a match in progess on another computer.
If you are happy that all your music is on your new hard drive (or if it is only in the cloud), you should select "this computer".

How can I buy music again?
I had a problem with my iPod and had to have it restored at an Apple store. Now if I try to by a song from iTunes on the iPod I get this message: A valid address is necessary to purchase using store credit.
I have synched the iPod while signed into the store in iTunes but that didn't fix the problem.
How can I fix this to buy music from the iPod?
Thanks.Well, it turned out the problems was with my address. Apparently after four years of having an account for my iPods, Apple decided that a PO Box was not a valid address. They must have done this quite recently. When I did an experiment of adding my street address the problem cleared up, even though the post office won't deliver mail to a street address in my small Rocky Mountain town of 287 people. Of course they never told me that they changed their address policy other than through the cryptic message.
Thanks for the help. -
Can anyone please advise? I really don't want to have to buy them all over again!
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded. You should sync your audiobooks to other devices via iTunes on your computer. -
Hi all,
I'm having a problem with re downloding my audi-books? can someone help?
Aslo, one of the downloaded audi books didnt work with me?
can some recommend an advice?
thanks,Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store, they won't show in the Purchased links for redownloading. If you don't have them on your computer's iTunes library, nor on your backup of your downloads, then for those that are still in your country's store you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a redownload : 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
If you had a problem with downloading one when you bought it then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via the above contact link. -

Any help? I wouldn't mind any links to where I can install Garageband for free even if it's not from Apple. (Currently running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and will be updating the software tomorrow on February 13th to Snow Leapord 10.6)
If you don't want to purchase the latest version, you have to call Apple to get replacement DVDs for the iMac > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When you receive the discs, just insert the Mac OS X Install Disc 2 and install GarageBand.
If you have a Time Machine backup, you can use it to restore GarageBand. First, open Finder and select Applications on the sidebar. Then, open Time Machine app and navigate through your backups to restore the application -

iTunes is making me answer a bunch of security questions that I never set up. It is making me do that before I can buy my music. So I can not buy music. But a few days before I had no trouble using my iTunes $ to buy songs. What do I do to fix it and be able to buy music again?
Reset the security questions
See Kappy's previous write-up.

I'm trying to set up my purchase account, but it keeps asking me about an iTunes code I have to feel in but I don't know what is that code and where do I get it?
THe iTunes gift code is an optional field, you don't have to fill it in - gift cards are an alternative method of paying for iTunes content, but as they are not available inall countries (and they are country-specific, they can only be used in the country in which they were issued), you may not be able to fill it in anyway. If they are available in your country then you might be able to buy cards from Apple, supermarkets, electrical stores etc
If you have a credit card then you can use that as your payment method instead. Otherwise there are instrutions on this page for how to create a new account without giving a credit card number (it won't with existing, or partially created, accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 -
How can I reset my security questions? Everytime I try again like thousand time all I get nothing. It won't appear my mail. I tried create new Apple ID but I don't have card to buy. I only have iTunes card. I was think about drown my phone in toilet
Contact Apple support at 800MYAPPLE and ask them to assist you with resetting your security quesitons.
They will ask you to verify your identity. Not usually a big issue. Call them ask for assistance.
They can walk you through getting the security question issues resolved.
Good luck.
