Why am i not allowed to buy a complete album on itunes?
I was looking for an album that i liked, Pain and Glory 2, and i wanted to buy it. However,
I wanted to buy the whole album but that wasnt an option. It allows me to buy each song
individually for $0.99 each but as people know, it is more expensive to buy each song
individually than the album. (saves about 10 dollars) i just wanted an explanation because
maybe i typed something in wrong or something along those lines.
Thank you.
Because it's not a complete album. Track 10, Big Bidness, is for some reason not available, so Apple can't list it as a complete album. I understand that even so it would be less expensive to buy it as an album and probably acceptable even if it's not complete, but that's how the iTunes Store works.
Regards.

Why am I not allowed to buy anymore things in the game I am playing? Nation of war
Why ?
We are fellow users here on these forums, unless you give some info as to what happens when you try to buy them then we won't be able to try and help e.g does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we won't know why) : 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 it's a different problem ... ? -
Why am I not allowed to buy Logic Pro X even though I have enough App Store credit to do so?
I have US$ 215 worth of giftcard credit on my account, more than enough to purchase Logic Pro X. The problem comes when I hit the "Buy app" button because it keeps getting me to update my billing info. I select "None" since I don't own a credit card, and then it tells me my purchase could not be completed due to "insufficient remaining store credit". I want to know what's going on because that money is absolutely valid to apple, it's money I spent in order to increase my iTunes/Appstore account's credit and I intend to purchase Logic Pro X with it. Help, please?
Did you redeem the gift card to your account? If so, if you log into your account information, do you actually see the gift card there? If so, you would need to contact the App Store support team.

Why am I not allowed to activate my product, CS3, when the product is bought years ago and I still have the serial number? It's an old version, but I don't throw products in the bin, just because they are old.
And what exactly is your problem? Other than going of on a tangent about Adobe's alleged evilness preventing you to activate whatever CS3 product, you have not provided any useful info such as what exact problem you have, what system, what product we are axctualyl talking about and so on.

I bought an album on my iPhone and it never transferred to my iTunes account. It has disappeared now and I'm not allowed to buy it again. How can I find my missing music album or have the option to purchase it again?
Hello bubblegirl2,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your purchased album.
First, I recommend trying to download the album from you list of past purchases. Use the steps in the section titled "Download previous purchases on Mac or PC > iTunes Store" in the following article:
Download past purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If you have tried those steps and still do not see the album, it may be that the album is hidden. Follow the steps below in iTunes on your computer to check if it is hidden and unhide it:
To unhide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
If you're not already signed in, choose Store > Sign in.
Choose Store > View My Account. (You may be asked to enter your password again).
On your Account Information summary, scroll down to the "iTunes in the Cloud" section and click Manage.
Choose a content type by clicking Music, TV shows, Apps, or Books from the top.
Click the Unhide button next to the item you would like to restore.
Note: If the item you are unhiding is not already downloaded on your computer locally, it will begin downloading automatically.

If you are still not able to download the album, you can report the issue with this purchases using the steps in this article:

A statement from the Smithsonian: "....iPad. Although these devices technically fully support 3D graphics in the web browser, due to a restriction of Apple it is not currently possible to use the Smithsonian X 3D explorer on iOS devices." Why does Apple not allow Smithsonian X 3D to run on MAC iOS devices? It runs on other OS such as Android etc.
John,
If you know so little about the topic why even respond? Just to take sides? How do you even know your on the right side? Because you bought an iDevice and must obey your master?
Firstly 63% of video on the web is not HTML5. There is no such thing as HTML5 video.
HTML has a new tag called <video></video>. This tag allows the playback of videos converted to a specific codec. In safari it is h.264, in chrome it is VP8, in firefox it is OGG.
Each browser can only handle their codec, so a video that runs in the enw <video> tag in safari will not run in chrome or firefox unless another video is also present that has been converted to the correct format.
Adobe Flash can play all of them, or any one of them in any browser. Or you can just use .flv and have only one video that plays everywhere.
As such Adobe Flash plays back h.264 video, and has been doing so way before anyone heard of HTML5. Most hardware today has built in support for this codec as well, making it the best performig codec to be used for video.
With or without HTML5, h.264 is and has been becoming the "standard" codec for all video.
So to say 63% of video is HTML5 is a half truth. If you only cinsider safari then yes, 63% of the videos that flash plays can also be played in safari. However that same 63% can not be seen by anyone else as they require a different codec.
This says that h.264 is the dominant codec, because 63% of all video uses it. However you still need to support the other 37% of video which is not h.264, and you still need to support the other 63% of video for those who dont use safari.
The best option to bring all this together is Flash. It's the one stop shop for all video across all screens.
And Flash out performs HTML5 players 10 to 1 on every product on the planet except Apples.... where it somehow becomes a huge resource hog.... but then that may have something to do with Apple not wanting any media consumption to come from anywhere than their pocket. -

Songs to buy with complete album only, why?
I wanted to buy a song (Kraftwerk - Computer Liebe) in the iTunes store. Unfortunately you can get it only if you buy the complete album (Computerwelt). This is not what I want, so I bought it from another online music store in Germany. In the end Apple lost a deal. Like DRM, the restriction to buy the complete album, does not make sense, as there are other shops where you can get what you want.
One suspects that part of Apple's original strategy for keeping the iTunes store (relatively) simple to administer was the fixed price per track, irrespective of duration or indeed popularity. While this model works fine for the typical rock & pop tracks of 3-4 minutes and albums of 8-12 tracks it starts to look unfair with longer tracks. Take at the extreme an album like Mike Oldfield's Amarok with a single track. Given the choice to buy the track at 79p or the album at £7.99 which would you choose? No suprise then that this is presented as an Album Only purchase. In addition to any specific restrictions that might be imposed by the artist or label where one track is significantly longer than others it seems that the store will only allow it as part of a whole album purchase. I note that, with the example you give, Amazon allow the purchase of this track individually whereas iTunes does not. One of the changes that Apple have signaled is variable pricing which may in future mean that longer tracks will be made available for an extra cost.
