TS1424 What is the "Account is currently unavailable" message in the ipad 2 app store?

Hey guys,
               I have an ipad 2 and when I try to download an app from the onboard app store, I keep getting this"This account is currently unavailable message". What is this and how would I go about fixing it?

Welcome to the Apple community.
There seems to be more than the average number of reports about users being unable to connect to iTunes at the moment, there may well be an issue with the servers. I would try again later and see if the problem persists.

  • Just what IS the procedure for App Store review (and resubmit)?

    So when I submit an app for the first time I understand why there would be a 1 week, even 2 week wait for someone at Apple to review it. Actually, it's quite a luxury to have Apple experts to review and test an app for me.
    Last time I did this, in about 10 days after submission they spotted a relatively minor issue (there wasn't an alert panel when there was no internet connection and the user tried a search). OK fine. So I implemented one.
    Another 10 days or so later I get another rejection, this time for another minor issue - one that I was able to fix in about 10 minutes of coding. A total of 15 minutes after getting the rejection email from Apple, the new binary was submitted.
    Do I wait another 10 days again?
    Is it the same person who reviews the "revisions" at least?
    Isn't there a better way?
    A 10-day turnaround for even the smallest incremental fix, with potentially a different person reviewing the app each time (and do they do a "full" review each time?) seems awfully inefficient ... not to mention frustrating.
    Does anyone have any (real) insights as to how the process works?
    Thanks,

    Search this forum - your question has been answered before. In a nutshell Apple has no idea what you changed when you resubmit a fix for a rejected app. So it goes back to the end of the line. I'd bet 9.5 of the 10 days your app was just sitting in a queue waiting to be looked at.
    But each time you submit, someone must do a full regression test because they have no idea what you might have changed. I know it's frustrating. It would be nice to get one rejection with a list of all the little things instead of getting rejected on the first flaw. Wait 10 days - oops, another minor flaw.
    But it sure is good incentive to test the heck out of your own app. As a single developer it's the hardest part (at least for me). I know my app inside and out. It's best to get a 2nd set of eyes. A non-developer is even better. Get a real user. They will point out all the little things like a missing alert or what not. As the developer you don't always worry about such a small detail. But Apple is big on user experience. Think like a user.
    Speaking of which, it's time for me to put my user hat on. I'm polishing my app right now. Details, details, details.

  • TS2446 i have a problem in my account every time i want to install application from app Store on my iphone a message shows that my Apple ID has been disabled, what is the problem? what can i do ?

    i have a problem in my account every time i want to install application from app Store on my iphone a message shows that my Apple ID has been disabled, i creat a new password and still that message shoes ,what is the problem ?can you help me please???!!!!

    If your account is disabled then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I'm having trouble using the iTunes and Apps store because i can't register my Nigerian mastercard. What should i do. i'm trying to register it in the Nigerian iTunes store.

    I'm having trouble using the iTunes and Apps store because i can't register my Nigerian mastercard. What should i do. i'm trying to register it in the Nigerian iTunes store.

    Is this a new Apple iD? If it is, and you have already set it up, then you have two options:
    1.     Temporarily put a Credit Card or Gift Card on the account to download the free app. If you put a credit card, then once you have downloaded the app, you should be able to go into your Account preferences and change the payment option to = None.
    2.     You can download the fee App, and then set up a new Apple ID.

    sales at AppStore are based upon 'users'= accounts; if the other Mac is running under your account, you can download and install a copy of iMovie 'for free' (the ToU of Appstore allow to  install purchases on as many computers you own = running under your account)
    If the other Mac is running under a different account, you have to log-in at AppStore under those account, and purchase it it.

  • What is the best Radio app for Iphone with poor Signal

    hi folks
    i live in rural shropshire, UK and where there is a poor signal reception and no 3G so i was hoping if someone could tell me what is the best radio app with about 2-3 bars of signal on O2 please can someone help thx

    Well, 2(.(7)5)G (GPRS/EDGE) is still sufficient for a lot of (mostly HE-AACv2) streams - they're between 24 and 40 kbps, . That is, first, check out whether there are favorite stations in the station directory of the HE-AACv2-specific radio app "Tuner2 Hi-Fi Radio". Note that there are other HE-AACv2-capable clients but this one is the best.
    Below is an excerpt from the dedicated section of my all-in-one iPhone radio article, just discussing these questions. Sorry, there are no links or not any kind of formatting in the text - I just couldn't paste it by keeping them.
    2.1 3G vs. 2.(7)5G vs. Wi-Fi
    Whenever possible, deactivate 3G (if you have a second- or third-generation iPhone used in a compatible 3G network, that is). Why? It’s easy: I’ve made some very thorough experiments with power consumption when streaming over cellular (mobile phone) connections. For this, I’ve listened to a 31 kbps VBR HE-AACv2 stream in Pocket Tunes. I’ve measured the battery life decrease of 0.6%/minute when streaming in 3G and 0.3%/minute when doing the same in 2.75G (EDGE) and 2.5G (GPRS). This means streaming 3G consumes two times more battery than in 2.75G with a stream that, when streamed over Wi-Fi, consumes 0.18% power a minute.
    This also means that, even if you have an unlimited Internet data plan, try using Wi-Fi whenever possible because it’s almost two times more battery-friendly than even 2.75G (EDGE) / 2.5G (GPRS) – and 3.3 (that is, 60/18) times more so compared to 3G.
    Having to rely on pre-3G stream speeds means the following:
    - If you only have GPRS connection (but not EDGE), select a station broadcasting at less than 35-40 kbps to avoid pauses and stuttering. You can easily see if your phone is in GPRS only: then, to the right of the name of your network, there is a circle and not the capital letter ‘E’ (it’s '3G' when in 3G mode and it’s here that the Wi-Fi signal is shown when operating over Wi-Fi.)
    Note that, with some networks (for example, Vodafone in some? all? countries) there’s no EDGE at all. There, you either use 3G or GPRS. The latter rules out all stations with speeds over 40 kbps. If this is the case, you will most probably have to rely on HE-AACv2 (also known as AAC+) streams, should you want good audio quality and stereo sound. The other formats, MP3, AAC-LC (the two formats natively supported by the built-in QuickTime player) and WMA are completely unable to deliver good, stereo audio quality under 40 kbps; OGG is able, but around 36-38 kbps, which may result in stuttering over lower-quality GPRS connections or congested network.
    You can find a lot of AAC+ streams at http://dir.xiph.org/by_format/AAC+ and http://yp.shoutcast.com/. Note that, with the latter, you will want to click radio stations with AAC+ type (see the last column). Unfortunately, unlike with collecting with MP3 stations only, you will not want to tap the header of the last, “Type” column, to order them to collect all AAC+ stations at the end of the list because it’s not possible to easily jump to the end of this list. (Tapping will only order the stations in a way that the list starts with MP3 ones; that is, stations well above 40 kbps - and the few that broadcast under 40kbps, do so with awful audio quality.)
    Note that moodio.fm (which, as with the former two, stream directories, that is, xiph.org and shoutcast.com, has been introduced in section 1. Built-in capabilities: QuickTime), by default, also uses AAC+. As with the former two stations, in order to play back these AAC+ streams in an AAC+-capable radio player (the built-in QuickTime isn’t one of them) like Pocket Tunes Radio or FStream, you’ll want to copy these links to the clipboard and, then, paste them into a custom, user-defined station in these apps (as long as you don’t find a station of your liking in the built-in station directories of these radio clients). To do so,
    1. in Safari, long-tap the link and, then, select “Copy” from the context menu
    2. Switch to the radio station, go to its dedicated custom station entry dialog (with FStream, Favorites / Edit / Add new webradio at the bottom; with Pocket Tunes, Favorites / Edit / +) and tap the URL field a bit longer after cleaning it entirely (if there’s a http:// in it; with FStream, there isn’t). You’ll see a Paste flag (icon) as in this screenshot
    3. Just tap it; the station URL will be pasted to the field
    4. You can also give your station a name
    (Note that you can also manipulate the favorite list of FStream via Wi-Fi, from a desktop Web browser. It offers a far faster way of adding and deleting favorites.)
    Note that Pocket Tunes Radio also has a built-in Web browser. If you navigate from it to, say, m.moodio.fm or yp.shoutcast.com, you won’t need to do any copy / pasting like explained in the previous section. FStream (my other pick for HE-AACv2 playback) doesn’t have a Web browser. Note that several other (except for ooTunes, not that recommended) players also have a built-in browsers. You can do exactly the same in all of them except for eingrad’s RadioBOX, which, currently, has bugs in its Web browser: when you tap a link, the playback (if the built-in QuickTime is compatible with it) will start in QuickTime and not in the built-in player. (The developers stated they would fix this bug some time.)

  • While defining a columnar table, what is the purpose of column store type

    Hi folks
    I have two questions related to columnar table definition.
    1. What is the purpose of column store type.
    While defining a columnar table, what is the purpose of column store type (STRING ,CS_FIXEDSTRING,CS_INT etc) , when I define a table using the UI I see that the column is showing STRING but when I goto EXPORT SQL it does not show.  Is this mandatory or optional ?
    2.VARCHAR Vs. CHAR - In the UI when I create the table I do not see the CHAR option , but I do see lot of discussion where people are using CHAR for defining the columnar table. Not sure why UI dropdown does not show it. I also read that we should avoid using VARCHAR as those columns are not compressed, is that true, I thought the column store gives compression for all the columns. Are there certain columns which cannot be compressed .
    Please let me know where I can find more information about these two questions.
    Poonam

    Hi Poonam
    the CS_-data types are the data types that are used internally in the column store. They can be supplied but it is not at all required or recommended to do so.
    SAP HANA will automatically use the correct CS_-data type for every SQL data type in your table definitions.
    To be very clear about this: don't use the CS_-data types directly. Just stick to the SQL data types.
    Concerning VARCHAR vs CHAR: fixed character data types are not supported anymore and don't show up anymore in the documentation.
    I have no idea why you believe that VARCHAR columns are not compressed but this is just a myth.
    create column table charcompr (fchar char(20), vchar varchar(20));
    insert into charcompr (
        select lpad ('x', to_int (rand()*20), 'y'), null from objects cross join objects);
    -- same data into both columns
    update charcompr set vchar = fchar;
    -- perform the delta merge and force a compression optimization
    merge delta of charcompr;
    update charcompr with parameters ('OPTIMIZE_COMPRESSION' ='FORCE');
    -- check the memory requirements
    select COLUMN_NAME, MEMORY_SIZE_IN_TOTAL, UNCOMPRESSED_SIZE, COUNT, DISTINCT_COUNT, COMPRESSION_TYPE
    from m_cs_columns where table_name ='CHARCOMPR'
    COLUMN_NAME    MEMORY_SIZE_IN_TOTAL    UNCOMPRESSED_SIZE   COUNT   DISTINCT_COUNT  COMPRESSION_TYPE
    FCHAR       3661                    70285738            6692569 20              RLE
    VCHAR       3661                    70285738            6692569 20              RLE
    We see: compression and memory requirements are the same for both fixed and variable character sizes.

  • What is the best way to store and search 2D data

    Hi,
    There is a set of data (~10k records ) in 2D dimension.
    like this :
    Col 1, Col 2, Col3....
    What is the best way to store and search those records ?
    Thanks in advance
    Wilson

    Hi,
    Either userObjet[][] if you know how much data you have, and the data size is fixed, or use a list of lists. E.g. A Vector of Vectors (some will probably say that you should use an ArrayList instead, and that could be the case, but it sounds like you would want to display the data later on, and a DefaultTableModel (for JTables) uses a Vector as data holder).

  • What is the best method to store session variables

    As the title says, what is the best method to store session
    variables in a Production environment?
    I have been reading the posts on sessions and have been
    getting different ideas on where to store session variables, in a
    db, registery, cookies etc etc
    Can someone clarify possible best practice on this matter?
    Matrix

    From my experience, db is the best to store client variable
    data. Registry will cause you trouble in future (when data gets
    overloaded) and cookies will not serve the purpose for a few % of
    your users.

  • What's the best way to store test parameters for future use?

    I'm creating a test stand that will perform various "standard" tests. Each of the tests has it's own setpoints (integer numbers) as well as some string values that are stored in the log file with the data.
    What is the easiest way to store these setpoints and strings so that I can pull them into the VI in the future, say by selecting a test type from a ring control, etc.?
    I would also like to make this dynamic so that new test types can be stored from the vi. (i.e. I don't want to have to hard code all the future tests and their parameters).

    I like INI files, too. If you are looking for an easy way to read and write your parameters to INI, take a look at the Variant Configuration File IO Library of the OpenG Toolkit.
