Why are aussies paying over $2 per song when the exchange rate is so strong for the aussie dollar it used to be 99c when it first started if I remember correctly.

Why is our dollar stronger than the US dollar but our song prices have not come down in price to reflect this. Sounds like price gouging while the dollar is so strong.

@robo878
Thanks very much for the info and help robo, not sure I fully understand what it means but certainly a lot more than I did before I posted. TY I will have a look into getting it switched to see what difference that makes.
@imjolly (great name think my fav char was the 'polis' with the flying goggles assuming you mean the rev i.m.jolly)
Thank you too for your reply. I think you may well be right about the letter, just remember it being about a possible 100% increase or such, which would make sense going from a possible 8 to 20MB. At the moment I am just connected via an extension cable to the standard socket with a splitter for my phone and my modem. I have found the video on the BT re the test socket, is that worth giving a go? My phone is a cordless unfortunately so may well not be ideal/accurate but I am getting a bit of 'fuzz' and a couple of slight 'clicks'. Don't know anything about line noise and what it should be so sorry I can't tell you more.

Why are we paying over $300 a month for a family plan that doesn't include call blocking or decent voicemail services?

I am a member of a shared family plan which as I see it posted our bill is over $300 a month, which does not include unlimited data, family protection (which allows you to permanently block numbers vs there 30 or 90 day limit if you are not covered) <---- this requires you to constantly be on alert of something so ridiculous that it shouldn't be concerned with, and finally they do not offer an upgraded voicemail service. So my voicemail asks me to enter pin than right to messages. It does not tell me the following: The date the call was made, the time the call was made, nor any other pertinent information regarding the call aside from the number and than the message. It's frustrating because I miss a lot of calls these days due to volume controls and silent modes and ring tones that aren't loud enough that I need to know when calls are received. I don't ever remember having to pay for an upgraded voicemail service, that's like hiring a firm to handle all my incoming calls. I want my answering machine back. I have many other issues to include Verizon's online chat service which has at least one major issue. I won't bring that up here. The question is how much more money can they get for a simple cell phone plan? For christ's sake.

The free voicemail is basic which gives you the date and time of the message. If you want more you should pay for more. Also, some Android phones with KitKat have free Visual Voicemail.
Thank you for your feedback, but my phone gives me no choice and it most certainly does not state the date and time that the message was received. The only way for me to know that is if I happen to check exactly the phone log around the same time that the message was left, else it is buried underneath other more recent and answered calls. And seriously man, the whole pay more idea is getting a bit far-fetched. There is no reason why I should be able to buy a portable mini answering machine for a one time payment of $14.99 with a reusable blank tape, they don't have these and we'd look ridiculous carrying them around with everything else, but the point is we are giving permission to charge for some ridiculous things that should not be paid more for. My old answering machine worked just fine, and more importantly I have never paid for an "upgraded" voicemail service. As I mentioned if I want that I can hire a service to do that, but I don't need that. I hope you can understand my growing concerns. We pay for every little in-app purchase, we are being programmed to pay for everything that should already be includedfdasf in an initial price, brought home and enjoyed for its duration. Instead wesdfsdf are paying monthly fees and dues on objects that aren't covered by warranties or insurances which eventually break and leave people struggling to pick up the pieces. These are serious issues because people now rely so much on their phones (of course this is all my opinion) that we've become depandent on them. Anyway, thanks, appreciate all the feedback.
As for blocking this is what it states on my plan under the blocking feature tab:
You can block calls and message from up to 5 phone numbers at no charge.
Expiration. Blocks expire after 90 days. Be sure to reapply the block if you wish to continue the service restriction. To permanently block numbers, subscribe to FamilyBase*.
Limitations.
You cannot block numbers within your account or non-10 digit numbers such as 911,411 or #MIN (checks minutes used).
Apple® iMessage® won't be blocked. Messages from this service can be blocked by disabling the iMessage feature from within the Settings>Messages menu of your Apple device.
Unblocking. To unblock a number, highlight and delete the number, then click "Submit".
So there's the limits, but even worst is they don't include a simple field where I can put the name of the individual I am blocking. So when it comes time to maybe rotate one out (this should be an unlimited number), one of the many 5 I can choose to block, I might not remember who is who or what is what. I have a lot of responsibilities in my life, this is not one that should be pushed on the consumer. It's ridiculous.

HT201365 Why are only 3 of my devices appearing on the map when all of the devices were showing up 2 weeks ago.

Why are only 3 of my devices appearing on the map when all of the devices were showing up 2 weeks ago.

I probably "over-read" the Apple website hype about the advantages of creating a single personal Apple I.D. which would apply to practically all things Apple. To quote: "An Apple ID lets you personalize your Apple experience. Once you've created an Apple ID, you'll use it to access Apple resources where it's helpful to identify yourself. From Apple Discussions to iTunes to the Apple Online Store and everything in between, Apple ID is your passport to the extended Apple experience."
Hence, I created an "Apple ID," following the example "[email protected]" (Who wants to miss out on a "passport to the extended Apple experience.") However, I already had an ID (though it was not my Apple address), and apparently was already the benefactor of the benefits of the so-called "personal Apple ID." Consequently, I now have two different iTunes IDs and two different passwords. Apple has responded to my requests to have a single ID by saying that my request is for the impossible. I simply have to remember both IDs and both passwords, entering both when attempting to use different computers and devices while downloading and taking inventory of my iTunes files.
So I'm pretty sure I've followed your suggestions already with respect to all 3 "eligible" devices, but I'll certainly give it another go-round. From what you say, it appears that being "associated" with the cloud should not limit me only to an iPod Touch 4th generation.

Why are most of my keywords not included when I export images?

Why are most of my keywords not included when I export images?
Since starting with Lightroom 1, I've entered keywords into either of the two fields between "keyword tags" and "keyword suggestions" in the keywording panel. I was unaware that some keywords are more equal than others, or that Lightroom offered (or has added?) hierarchy support.
I recently stumbled into the news (to me) that Lightroom tags can be organized into a hierarchy, so I exported my keywords to a text file to examine. I hadn't unwittingly created any hierarchies, but an astounding fraction of the keywords were within square brackets. Sure enough, if I export an image, keywords within square brackets are omitted from the output (jpeg) file. How nice. Since I began with Lightroom 1, I've added nearly 1600 keywords.. Too bad most of them are coded wrong... so as not to accompany output that I create.
1.     What was I supposed to do, as a photographer beginning to use Lightroom, to enter keywords simply but reliably: what I type is what I get? I'd expected that's what the "just type here" interface would provide.
I especially dislike obtaining erratic results: most keywords are in square brackets, but a few are not. Of course, when I use a simplified interface, I should expect not to have access to some of the options or features. However, I shouldn't inadvertently trigger undocumented behavior.
2.     Does the Adobe reference help system say how to enter keywords simply and reliably, in its documentation of the keywording panel? I don't find my answer under the Keywords topic, within Home / Using Photoshop Lightroom 3 / Organizing photos in the catalog.
(I NOW realize that the instructions for the "Create/Edit keyword tags" dialog mention exporting. However, that's not the method I was using.)
Dick Rawson

I'm afraid that I distracted you with my background mention of hierarcharial keywords; I'm not asking about them.
I've entered keywords for several years of using Lightroom. Suddenly, this week, I find that most (yet not all) of them have the attribute of "don't include the keyword in an exported file's metadata." I never intended to ask for that; I thought all keywords will stay with the file and its offspring, and that's what I wanted.
So I'm asking:
1.     What did I do "wrong" to induce Lightroom to give the keywords that attribute? I never intended to ask it to.
2.     Where does Adobe document how to enter keywords reliably so that they stay with the file on output? I can't find that Adobe does.
> Can you be more clear about keywords in square brackets? I know when you export the keywords as a list you can get a normalized data file that uses punctuation and tabs as delimiters...
I did export the keywords into such a list: most keywords in the plain-text list have square brackets surrounding them, indicating keywords that will be omitted from metadata of any image that Lightroom exports.
My concern is not that the brackets are there. They encode the attribute of "don't include the keyword in an exported file's metadata," and recognizing that attribute concerns me.
> ...but I've never seen keywords in image files or in the interface rendered so.
I haven't, either.

Why are my Illustrator images getting thicker strokes when I take the bounding box and make them smaller?

Why are my Illustrator images getting thicker strokes when I take the bounding box and make them smaller? This has never happened to me. I'm not an expert at Illustrator, but I do know some fundamentals.

Thank you for responding so quickly. No apologies necessary - I know this Forum isn't McDonalds - don't expect an answer to be served up right away. You helped me out with a big issue yesterday.
I am using a mac - OSX 10.7.5
I have Adobe Creative Suites - CS5 - Illustrator version is 15.0.2
The contents I am placing are all Vector - Illustrator files
But, I wonder about some of the vector files I work with. Could a "line weight/thickness" be 'assigned' to the drawing and screw things up? I used 'simple' linear (line) drawings from SolidWorks that have been converted to ai files. It's just weird because I checked the stroke of the drawing and it's not out of line.
I am attaching part of some box labels. You can see how the drawings, of the products, on the 'left side' are "thick" after embedding them. I think the "Global Logo" was pasted into a template not linked that's why it's okay. But look at the Quiet Thunder logo - it looks terrible. These labels are only 2.25" X 6.5", so its important I keep the images lightweight.
Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you!

Why did Apple remove many of my songs from the cloud?

Why did Apple remove many of my songs from the cloud?

Maybe they don't have the same taste in music as you
Apple don't make or 'own' songs - other companies allow Apple to sell them. Sometimes these rights owners remove the songs from the store. Apple can't do much about that. You should make backups of any purchases, since Apple cannot guarantee they will be available in future.

Why are iMovie events (2400 of them) shown in the iDVD movies pane along with my iMovie projects (12 of them)?

Why are iMovie events (2400 of them) shown in the iDVD movies pane along with my iMovie projects (12 of them)?

Sorry about the delay in responding, I've been putting up with a very slow iDVD, but now I'm fed up with it again. My version of iDVD is 7.1.2 (1158) running in Mac OS X, version 10.6.8, with 3.2GHz and i3 processor, 4GB of memory, on a desktop iMac. My version of iMovie'11 is 9.0.4 (1634).
I can stop iDVD from showing iMovie EVENTS (now 3247 of them) in its Media pane under Movies, by moving the iMovie Events folder from the iMovie folder ( that iDVD ALWAYS looks in) to somewhere else in that Directory (where I store all my data, and which I have named "browning"). But then iMovie can't display the EVENTS, because it is looking in the wrong place. So, how can I save iMovie Events in another folder (not iMovies) but somewhere where iMovie will find them?
Is there a method to change the default folders for iMovie and/or iDVD? How does iMovie know where the iMovie default directory is?
Should I put iMovie into the "Main" Mackintosh HD directory?
The Apple Store in Bath, UK, couldn't help, but surely I'm not the only iDVD user who is annoyed with this process?
HELP, please

I have a ipod classic 5th gen 30gb, if i download a movie or song from the current itunes i use with my ipod touch will it play? or do i have to get another type of itunes, if so which one?

i have windows 7 and a2nd gen ipod touch and i just aquired an ipod classic which is a 5th gen from 2005 with a 30 gb capacity. can i download a video movie or episode and songs from the current itunes i use for my ipod touch or is there a different one i should use? please help.

You can plug the iPod into the same iTunes library as your iPod Touch and sync whatever content you like to it. There is no limilt to the number of iPads, iPhones, or iPods you can sync with one iTunes library, account, or computer. How you sync one device will not affect the syncing preferences of the other.

How do I update my iOS? I have the iPad 1 and have tried over and over to try and update the iOS version to iOS 5.1, nothing works it will start updating then say that it did not update? PLEASE HELP!!!

How do I update my iOS? I have the iPad 1 and have tried over and over to try and update the iOS version to iOS 5.1, nothing works it will start updating then say that it did not update? PLEASE HELP!!! P.s I'm running newest version of iTunes.

Connect your iPad to your computer and let iTunes back up your iPad. After it does that disconnect it and go into your settings under general and under reset and select erase all content. After you do that reconnect to your computer, open iTunes and follow the screen options to set up your iPad as new. Once it is done doing that see if you have the latest version of iOS installed and if it does then either download gain the apps you had before or restore them from the backup made previous.

Why are there 2 versions of same song in Itunes folder

Hi,
Itunes is not showing double songs in the player, but when I go to the folder where the .m4a files are located there is both a "song.m4a" and a "[00g.....]song.m4a". Some folders have this and some don't. Why? Also, some folders have "AlbumArt_{2DE.....}_Large.jpg", "AlbumArt_{2DE....}_Small.jpg", and "AlbumArtSmall.jpg".
All these duplicate files take up a lot of space. What are they for?
Thanks.

Depending on the way you add music to iTunes and the setting of "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" it is possible for it to create duplicates of files you have imported on a previous occasion. You can clear these type of duplicates up with a script I wrote recently. See this thread for more info.
The album art images you refer to are are created by Windows Media Player. Generally they are not a problem, but if your files get rearranged because you edit the tag data then iTunes won't move the artwork when it moves the files which can leave orphaned artwork hanging around in otherwise empty folders. I have a script here which can clean up orphaned art.

Why are my album covers from purchased songs on itunes dissapeared

why are the album covers gone from the songs i purchased from itunes. i have part of them,the rest are gone

I have a slightly different problem. I have a few artists "Greatest Hits" albums, My iPohone's "iPod" doesn't know the difference between each album. For example:
Queen's Greatest Hits, Guns 'N' Roses Greatest Hits and Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits are all jumbled together into 1 "album" this is fine sometimes gives a bit of variety, but some days i just want to listen to GNR or Queen or Alice Cooper.
The only way to do this is to go in through the "Artist's" Tab instead of "Albums" still, it is annoying.
Any help for this would be appreciated.
(sorry to distract from the original post )
Cheers!

Why are bookmars so over complicated?

I am a Firefox heavy user, after being in chrome for a while (months) now I just installed linux (again) and so I am back into firefox becouse if feels right. I enjoy it, but this one thing just drives me nuts. In one word: Bookmars. I use XMarks service (and extension) to sync my bookmarks across devices and browsers, it is just awesome.
However I am annoyed by the over complicated way Firefox handles bookmars, so many 'default' folders that can't be removed, 'Bookmarks Toolbar' and 'Bookmarks Menu' what is that? Why not just 'Bookmarks'? It is counter-intuitive at its best. Also 'Unsorted Bookmarks' I thought I had enough already, why not just let 'Unsorted Bookmarks' hang out in the root of a yet absent simple and effective 'Bookmarks' folder? Please, this gives me headaches.
Can we have just a Bookmarks folder whitin which we can arrange our bookmarks with ease? Or at least give us users the chance to get rid of all that over complicated structure and have it designed our way.
Thank you very much, I hope this message will get to somebody.
Sincerely, Gastón Haro.
[email protected]

May be I did not make it clear enough in the way I phrased some statements. But I now how to use Firefox bookmarking system, I don't need that explained.
What I am trying to point out is my view that is way over complicated, over structured, and if not removed at all, at least I would like to have "the chance to get rid of all that over complicated structure and have it arranged [my] way".
In my opinion Chrome's way of doing it is nicer, more intuitive and yet equally functional.
