TS1424 Anyone else running into brick walls when trying to register or get a rebate on an iTunes gift card?

All I get is a runaround when trying to activate a $25 iTunes card. Many of the numbers were missing (missing, leaving blank spaces when printed, not scratched out). The store where I bought the card (Future Shop Vancouver) wouldn't do anything about it and told me I had to call Apple directly. So I jumped through the hoops of talking to thge robot on Apple's toll-free 1-800-MY-APPLE only to have the robot tell me only emails are acceptable. (I'm not sure why discussing my problem with an iTunes card is even an option in the telephone process). Getting increasingly exasperated, I went online and laid out my problem. It took hours to get a response... I was told I had to scan both sides of the card and store receipt and email it to them. I did that right away (7:45 am PST). At the end of the day when I had heard nothing further I went online and checked the status of my problem. THE CASE WAS CLOSED!
When I fired back an angry response, I was told by email:
thank you for providing the scanned images. Your inquiry is very important to me, so I have requested assistance with the issue you reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available.
SERIOUSLY? An investigation? This is a $25 iTunes card. Apple has the card codes and knows everything. All I want is to be able to somehow add $25 to my iTunes account.
What's worse, the iTunes Store Customer Support representative who is dealing with my problem states he works "Sunday-Wednesday and Saturday 9:30 PM-6:30 AM CST". This is Thursday. I guess the soonest I will know anything is MAYBE Saturday. If I'm lucky.
This is customer service?

  • When I plug my iPhone 4s into my PC, I get an error message that says iTunes needs a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. It wants me to uninstall both the AMDS and iTunes and then reinstall iTunes. Has anyone else run into this problem recently?

    When I plug my iPhone 4s into my PC, I get a message that says iTunes needs a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. It wants me to uninstall both the AMDS and iTunes and then reinstall iTunes. iTunes won't recognize my phone and so I can't synch it. Has anyone else run into this problem recently and how did you resolve it? Thanks!

    Thank you both. I suppose I should have prefaced my question with the concern that I've read a number of other posts from people who have had a similar issue and when they tried to follow the directions, they ran into a multitude of other problems. As you might imagine, I'm hoping to avoid the creation of new problems as I try to solve this one. Thanks again.

  • I would like to put Dreamweaver 8 on a new computer.  There is no "deactivate" function and the technical support person I chatted with recommended I come here.  Can I just use the serial number again?  How can I deactive?  Has anyone else run into this?

      There is no "deactivate" function and the technical support person I chatted with recommended I come here.  Can I just use the serial number again?  How can I deactive?  Has anyone else run into this?  How can I get Dreamweaver 8, which is no longer being activated by Adobe, on a new computer?  Is it even worth doing or do I need to get a new version.  What are the killer features I'm missing?

    If you manage to get it installed on your current OS, don't forget to install the 8.02 update.

  • Does anyone else run into Robohelp 11 hanging on startup?

    I've tried three installations.  I'm running RH 11 as Administrator, on Windows 7.  It hangs on the splash graphic, during "initializing user data".  It eventually does arrive at the workspace, it just takes quite a long time.  Maybe that's normal, I don't know Anyone else run into this?

    I would try uninstalling using Revo Uninstaller Free Version if this is a 32 bit version. I don't think there is a free edition of the 64 bit version. Then reinstall.
    Was Rh was installed to C drive program files in the normal way?

  • Illustrator Shape Builder Tool:  After the latest CC update, the tool alters shapes once edited instead of just removing/adding the desired shape.  Anyone else run into this and/or have any fixes?

    I am using a PC and installed the latest update of all the CC programs I use (AI, PS, AE, etc.) and within Illustrator I've noticed the Shape Builder Tool doesn't behave exactly as it did in the past. (And not in a good way.)
    Previous versions allowed me to edit/add/remove shapes from one another without issue (leaving all shape paths as they were before the editing while making the desired alterations), but the newest behavior seems to alter existing paths once shapes are merged/deleted making the tool almost non-usable. 
    Not sure if there's a check box I'm missing or what, but have done some brief research on the problem and haven't found anything helpful.  If anyone has run into this issue and/or knows a way to correct it, I would greatly appreciate it
    Thanks!

    Please show a screenshot before and after.

  • Error (-69) keeps popping up when I try to transfer a digital copy of a movie I redeemed, anyone else run into this?

    Error (-69) keeps popping up when I try to transfer the digital copy of transformers to my ipod. Everything is updated and it successfully downloaded to my library but I've done what I've read about error (-69) and I am still having problems. I've never had a problem with purchases from itunes before and I don't know what to do. The Apple website doesn't help and if anyone has had the same problem and figured it out please help me. I would appreciate it, thanks.

  • Has anyone else run into this problem?

    I am developing a combined java and flex project, and it was working fine as a web app. Usinf flash builder I converted it to a desktop air project, and now it fails to send messages to java. eg, My test code just calls a java class's hello() method when i click a button, and an alert shows "hello", which is what the java class returns. However I get an error in the air version, when I click the button it gives an error saying:
    faultCode:Client.Error.MessageSend
    faultString:'Send failed'
    faultDetail:'Channel.Connect.Failed error
    NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed: url:
    'http://ombination.swf/Combination/messagebroker/amf''
    I can see the problem there, my project is called Combination, as is the swf file but for some reason it is looking for "ombination.swf". Weird problem any ideas? I tried changing the name of the swf file to ombination as a quick fix, but then the air can't load it.

    As I originally said, 'with the best will in the world', and that is not a narrow minded approach.   More, had you spent a little time on the net you could have located this link ...
    http://www.lmp-adapter.com/site/index.cfm?nodeRoute=d05&step=2f322&l=1&vsprache= en&id_art=80839&plainerr=1
    And if this is not enough, if you will oblige us with details of the item you complain about, I will try to locate more info for you.
    But frankly, I think you should try a little harder to help yourself.

  • Iphone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore, only option available now is to "restore and update" however this will not work, how can you restore from a backup once in recovery mode and only option is "restore and upgrade"? Please help!

    iPhone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore it. Now the only option iTunes allows is for "restore & upgrade", it is not offer an option to restore from a backup, says that must first do the upgrade, when attempting to do the upgrade the iPhone won't accept it.
    How can I restore from a back up in recovery mode when the only option is "restore and upgrade"?
    Please help.

    You don't you must restore your phone first and then you will have the option to restore from your backup.

  • Anyone else seeing "Invalid server response" when logging into VCMA through a web browser?

    I am getting "Invalid server response" when I log into VCMA from Safari on my iPhone. I have the app on my iPad and it will connect and manage my ESXi hosts normally (so I am fairly certain the setup and config of the Virtual Appliance went ok).
    I Googled the error and got some returns about different Virtual Appliances doing the same thing. Seems to be an issue with running VCenter on a Windows 2008 server (which we are). Users reported switching VCenter to Windows Server 2003 boxes and it worked fine.
    Anyone else ran into this and figured it out?
    My environment:
    vCenter Server 4.1.0 - Build:258902
         - running as a VM on ESXi 4.1.0 - Build: 348481
         - running on top of Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1
         - vSphere Client 4.1.0 - Build: 258902
    vCenter Server and VCMA Appliance are on the same subnet.

    I had not done that yet, but thanks to your suggestion I have made that change.
    I am not sure if the above fixed the issue, but I am now able to get the website to load. I was trying to load the page https://vcmaServerIP:5480 which will load a login page. When you try to log into it, I was and am still getting the error I first posted about. By some weird chance I tried to load the page https://vmcaServerIP and got a completely different looking page and was able to log in and work like I should be able to.
    So, lesson learned: do not put the :5480 at the end of the URL and you will get the correct login page.
    Thank you dschubot for your help.

  • Has anyone else run across Error 213.23 or cpsid_83578?

    Hi All,
    I have a Master Suite CS5 installation problem on Windows 7 64 bit - Have exhausted first layer of tech service.  The 3 tech service persons do not have a solution for the errors shown below.  Next layer of tech service will call back.  It has been 2 days…
    I can install all programs except for AE, AF, and FL. Although I can install the other programs I cannot open any of the classical programs such as PS, AI, DW, etc.   When I try, I get the following messages:
    “A problem has occurred with the licensing of this product. Restart your computer and re-launch the product. If this problem still occurs after restarting, contact Customer Support for further assistance, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen - Error 213.23”
    Ran AdobeSupportAdvisor – the following errors came up “licensing program cpsid_83578 launch and serial # language do not match CS5”.
    Has anyone else run across Error 213.23 or cpsid_83578?
    Thanks,
    Randy

    Hi, Wonder if you found a solution yet??
    I've just purchase PS CS5, and run into the same problem and error message when I install it (Windows 7 /64bit). Tried to install it from the Administrator account and then it works, but when I log on to any other account CS5 is not available/working.
    Any new suggestions are highly appreciated!

    Adobe is giving me the runaround when all i want to do is download the programs i bought several years ago. Anyone else experience this? Contacted support, was told i would get a call back.  Account blocked so I had to create a new one to download trial versions to compete my work.  So frustrated.

    You will need to have the serial number to activate the products. Please have then handy & also check the compatibility of the operating systems.

    That's because the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps that came preinstalled on the Mac all belong to the previous owner. The previous owner needs to call Apple care and have their Apple ID disassociated from the Mac. Then the hard drive needs to be totally erased and OS X and the iLife apps reinstalled using OS X Recovery.

    If it's an ibook from Apple then you can only read it in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch - you can't read them on a Mac or PC.
