Why are auto-renewals disabled for Israel? (look at ht4098)

Guys/Apple
  Once again, Israel is singled out, but this time it is particularly strange:
I wanted to subscribe to the iPad version of the New Yorker magazine (which is quite a nice app), but trying to do so, got me a popup on the iPad saying that auto-renewals are disabled in my "storefront".
Looking at the Apple Support side, I found this KB article.   (ht4098)
It says, specifically, that auto-renewal is not supported for Israel.
Why is that? There is no problem purchasing from the Israeli App store, nor there is a problem purchasing individual issues of The New Yorker via their app...
There is absolutely no problem with Israeli credit cards, since Paypal, for example, perfectly supports renewals (and so does WorldPay, etc...)
So what's the reason Israel is so singled-out in THIS instance?
(BTW, obviously I got no relevant replies from Apple Suport and the support of The New Yorker are understandably not at fault here).
Thanks!
Michael.

    Why are auto renewing subscriptions not available in Israel? Is there any solution to this, any way to subscribe?

    Probably the same way no gift cards are allowed, and severe limitations on books & apps, etc.

  • There are a few tv shows that played this week that are not available on itunes from tnt. Why are they not available for download.

    There are a few tv shows that played this week that are not available on itunes from tnt. Why are they not available for download. We watch these each week, and I have checked to be sure that there was actually an episode this week, and there was.

    Under other "sync-able" players, there's usually the "Sync only checked items" radio button. Not for the 2.0 Apple TV. There's no option, but acts as though that option ("sync only, etc...") has been selected. Figured it out after an hour of walking back and forth from my Mac to the TV. Argh.
    Try it. De-select the shows, sync the AppleTV and look under the "TV Shows" and the one's you've unchecked will not be there.

    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.

    Why are some films available for download in the USA and not the UK or vice versa? For example the film 'Back to the Secret Garden' is available for download in the US and not the UK.

  • Why are most apps only for apple products?

    Why are most apps only for Apple products.???
    why aren't most of the apps developed for other systems?

    I am equally disappointed by the lack of Android support.
    Just a guess as to why there is so little support for Android ... I'd bet that Adobe is slow to release Android apps because Android is fragmented with a very broad range of versions out there.  Even if Android device owners want to upgrade to the latest version of Android, they usually can't get an upgrade -- this may be a problem with the device manufacturer (there are many of them), a mobile carrier or even Google.
    iOS devices only have 1 company involved in the update process: Apple.  Since iOS is a closed platform - controlled by 1 company who pushes identical updates to most devices - it is a lot easier to maintain a reliable app for iOS users.
    I don't want to switch to iOS devices, but I may have to until Adobe steps up its Android development.

  • Why are my search results for mail incomplete?

    Why is it that when I search for emails that I KNOW are in my inbox I cannot find them? This never used to be a problem until I upgraded to Lion. My inbox has close to 7000 emails so it is not practical to manually search through it for an email that is several months old. Why are the search results incomplete? I find this extremely frustrating.

    Had the same problem- called applecare, a mail supervisor walked me through the easy fix-
    (I am no tech so this is in simple terms)
    (Assuming you just upgraded to lion) - the "library" was not "properly rebuilt" - the emails are there but are not fully queriable which is why the "recent" or "post upgrade" emails search properly while the "older" or "pre upgrade" ones don't- the library index needs to be rebuilt (which is much easier than it sounds)
    Steps
    1- Quit Email (fully)
    2- open finder, open "Go"
        Hold the "Option" key on your keyboard - this will expand the menu to show the "Library"
    3- Select the "Library" option, (you can now release the "Option" key).
    4- Open the following folders (Mail,   V2   , Maildata)
    5- Within the Maildata folder there are (3) files which need to be deleted (Trashcan them)
         (envelopeindex, envelopeindex-shm,  envelopeindex-wal)
    6- Reopen Mail / (This will automatically reimport these files,  takes some time depending on how many emails)
    7- Quit mail and Reopen (has to reload for some reason)
    8- The mail program will do some automatic sycronizing  (You will see some the files "Reappear / fill in" while Syncronizing
    9- about 100 (blank or garage or remant emails) loaded to the top of my inbox during this process but everything else was normal-
    Everything now works great 

  • Why is my Ipod Disabled for 22,739,188?

    My Ipod has had charging issues since the first day I got it.  It charges one day and then the next it won't charge no matter what I connect it to.  docking station, wall charger or connecting to the computer do not work.  Now whenI plugged it in last night to charge, there is a message on the sscreen that it has been disabled for 22,739,188 minutes. Help!

  • Why are desktop icon positions for some files forgotten on restart

    On restart/reboot some of the file icon positions are forgotten and the files reappear stacked over the startup drive icon.  The remainder of the files on the desktop are in their correct/previous positions.  Why are somefile locations not remembered?

    Sounds like the .DS_Store invisible file is corrupt.  That is my wild guess.  There is a .DS_Store invisible file for each folder that the Finder visits.  It is where the Finder stores this position information.
    NOTE:  The following suggestions will cause the Finder to forget the positions of everything in the target folder, but after that the Finder should be able to remember going forward.  If you have some icons in the correct positions and you do not want to forget where they were, you should take a screen shot, or create a map (with pencil and paper), or other way to memorize where they were.
    There are utilities that can toggle the Finder internal settings to display invisible files, and then reset the settings so they are again hidden (you would trash the .DS_Store of the misbehaving folder while it was visible, then reloaunch the Finder or reboot, but a Finder relaunch is faster).
    There are Terminal commands that can be used to just remove the .DS_Store file.
    The killall Finder is needed to relaunch the Finder.  You could also use Apple menu icon -> Force Quit... -> Finder -> Relaunch.
    If a folder does not have a .DS_Store when the Finder opens the folder, the Finder will create a new one and assigns all the icons a default position.  Then you should be able to reposition the icons as you desire, and it should remember them from that point forward.
