What does "balance" mean on the iTunes store?  Is this money I owe, or money remaining on gift cards?

I have setup an iTunes account for my kid.  We redeemed some gift cards on iTunes store.  I don't have the account setup with a credit card because I don't want him to be able to buy things when the gift cards run out.  I got an email saying that some songs were purchased with the amount they cost.  Now I go to the iTunes store and login with my ID and it says my ID name, then "23.24".   Do I owe that amount, or is that what's left on the gift cards?

Thank you.  So what happens when the gift card balance is zero?  Can he still buy stuff and they will bill me for it?  Or can he just not buy anything?  Again, I didn't setup the ID with a credit card to prevent purchases after the gift card balance has been depleted.

    I think bob is right. That may be the problem. You can always contact iTunes Support to see if they can provide a certain answer:

    Very very likely that tax is applicable and tax is more than $0.01. You need to add a payment method for the tax. If you add a credit card, the girft card balance will be used up first.

    Since Aug. 20th I have been receiving a message that states " This accessory is not optimized on this iphone", what does that mean, and how do I get id of it?

    If you don't have it plugged into something it means there is 'crud' in the dock connector causing a short and making it think there is something strange plugged in. Clean out the dock connector with a dry toothbrush.

  • I just purchased an extreme.  I have an express.  The sales guy recommended setting up a hot spot with the express and use the extreme as a base station.  What does he mean and how do I do this?  What are the advantages?

    I just purchased an extreme.  I have an express.  The sales guy recommended setting up a hot spot with the express and use the extreme as a base station.  What does he mean and how do I do this?  What are the advantages?  How do I set this up?????

    I think he means to set up the main extreme as the main router or "main base station", and then use the express to "extend" the network.
    You can look up the manual for your express here for more details:
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/
    Extend the range of your network by adding AirPort Express to your existing AirPortExtreme or AirPort Express wireless network (this is called a Wireless DistributionSystem, or WDS). "
    Extending the Range of an Existing AirPort Extreme or
    AirPort Express Network
    You can extend the range of an existing AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express wirelessnetwork by setting it up in a WDS. Wireless computers can connect to the network andshare the Internet connection, share files, and play network games. If you connect yourAirPort Express to your home stereo, computers on your wireless network can useAirTunes to play music on the stereo from iTunes. If you connect a USB printer to yourAirPort Express, all of the computers on the network can print to it.
    n Open the AirPort Setup Assistant on a Macintosh, or the AirPort Express Assistant on acomputer using Windows XP. Follow the onscreen instructions to extend the range ofyour AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express network.
    Note: Extending the range of a network using WDS may reduce overall networkperformance.

  • What does "other" mean at the bottom of the sync page? It is taking up a large amount of space on my phone.

    What does "other" mean at the bottom of the sync page? It is taking up a large amount of space on my phone.

    The other section contains temporary files, such as text messages, iMessages, voicemail, and other storage that is meant for small short term use.  If the other section of your phone has grown quite large and you can't account for what it could be then you may have experienced a syncing error to iTunes.
    I have experienced this problem frequently during my years with the iPhone.  The other portion of my phone grows with every sync of my phone to iTunes.  There comes a point where it takes up the majority of the space on my iPhone, making the device near unusable.
    When it grows to this extent is usually cased by an error during the syncing process.  Any information iTunes can't reconcile during the syncing process is saved out of sight, out of mind, in the 'other' section.
    You will never be able to see or recover this section unless you are very savvy and know how to poke around the archived iPhone back-up on your computer.  (if you are thinking of trying, stop.  It will not be worth your time and effort, or if using third party software, the money or spyware associated with it *cough* iTools *cough*).
    The only fix I have found that works is to back up your phone to iTunes, and preform a 'restore'.  This erases the content of your phone, and restores it to factory settings.
    That is you phone will be as if you took it fresh out of the box.  You can preform a restore from back-up through iTune, or iCloud to get your content back.
    Lo and behold your have trimmed the mystery meat.

  • I am getting the error "We're sorry we cannot complete your request on the iTunes store at this time. Please try again later." on both my iPhone and iTunes on my computer. What is wrong with iTunes? Is the server down???

    I am getting the error "We're sorry we cannot complete your request on the iTunes store at this time. Please try again later." on both my iPhone and iTunes on my computer. What is wrong with iTunes? Is the server down or what? I need to download some things and update some apps...

    I've been getting the same message for like an hour now.  Since everything was working fine a few hours ago, and nothing changed on my end before it stopped working, I'm guessing it's something on Apple's end.  They probably already know about it by now, and are hopefully working on fixing it, so there's probably not much we can do but wait for them to fix it.

  • What does radio mean in the contact selection instead of mobile or home, and why is it the default?

    What does radio mean in the contact selection instead of mobile or home, and why is it the default?
    When adding a new contact, the number shows up as "radio" instead of "mobile" or "home" and I have to change it every time. What does "radio" mean and why is it the default? can that be changed?

    Radio is a type of phone service offered by certain carriers.  Sprint for instance offers their Sprint Direct Connect Phones (a.k.a Nextel) which have built in Radios.  Short Wave or CB radio type features. Also referred to as Push to Talk services.
    http://shop.sprint.com/mysprint/services_solutions/category.jsp?catId=solution_s dc&catName=Sprint%20Direct%20Connect
    Think a walkie talkie in your Phone.
    I get the Radio option when using Hotmail contacts as the default Contact creator. If I change it to iCloud or Gmail I no longer get the Radio option in the labels.
    If you are using a service such as Hotmail/Outlook.com for your contacts the radio option may be present.
    You can change which service is the default service to create new contacts with by going to Settings->Mail Contacts & Calendars->Contacts->Default Account
    The Radio label is just an identifier for those types of Phones so you know its a number for a radio phone.

  • HT1338 i purchased dvd studio pro and im trying to install it but when i go to click continue it gives me this  "you cant open the application gestalt tool becasue powerpc applications are no longer supported" what does that mean and how can i fix this ?

    i purchased dvd studio pro and im trying to install it but when i go to click continue it gives me this  "you cant open the application gestalt tool becasue powerpc applications are no longer supported" what does that mean and how can i fix this ?

    I note this information from Wikipedia: "DVD Studio Pro was a high-end software tool published by Apple Inc. to allow users to create DVD masters to be sent out for replication at production houses. Its tight integration with other Apple applications allows users to take Final Cut Pro and Motion projects and render them into the DVD format without encoding to intermediary formats. This streamlines the production workflow and reduces overhead."
    If that is your intent, finding a substitute program that will run on your Mac may not be as efficient.  Others can advise you on alternatives, or you can post a new thread specifically with that question.
    BTW: what Mac and what version of OS X?
    If it is important to you to continue to use DVD Studio Pro, consider the option of installing Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels on your Mac:
