Why are the prices in Euros?
I live in the U.S. and my iTunes Store is giving me prices in Euros. How do I fix this?
You can select the country of the iTunes Music Store by using the Change Country item at the bottom of the main iTMS windows in iTunes.
But there is no store for Hungary, so unless you have a credit card issued by a bank in a country that does have an iTMS - the billing address also needs to be in that same country - you won't be able to purchase from the iTunes Music Store. Sorry, but that's mandated by the record companies who do not want to allow cross-border sales.

Why are the prices so much higher on the uk website than on us website?
The price for an iPhone 6 plus 16gb space grey on the uk website is £619 but the price on the U.S. website is $299 (translates to about £190). Why is the price higher for the uk
The $299 price tag applies to subsidized iPhones bought in service contract with a carrier for 2 years. So you pay $299, plus a monthly payment to the carrier for 2 years.
The real comparison would be the full priced unlocked T-Mobile iPhone at $849 dollars. -

In the AppStore in categories in free section there are iPhoto, iMovie, Keynote, notes. But they have the prices near them. If they are free, then why are there prices near them? If not, then why are they in the free section? Thank you.
They are free to People who have purchased ios devices after a cetain date(September 2013).
Those that have devices purchased before then have to pay. -
Why is the price difference of apple products in different countries? For example in UAE price is different as compared to Germany?
MacBook Pro with retina price in US is USD1299 and same product price in Germany is 1299 Euro. Why???Obviously all the answers up here are true.. but I think that was not the real meaning behind the question.
Every country has different currencies that not only convert differently to others but have a different and relative value for the inhabitants. For example although Forex says 1,3$ = 1€ for the average European and American 1$=1€.. that means that roughly inside your country what you buy inUS for 1$ you get in Europe for 1€ (ex: McDonalds hamburger).
Also each country has it's own taxes, different renting prices (for apple store), different VAT, etc...
But the real question is. Is Apple NEUTRAL to market conditions?
This means... does Apple adapt their margin on products to local conditions or not?
To make it simple... Let's say Apple ... everything considered... gets 100$ for an iPhone sold in US... Will Apple fix their price in other countries so that, after paying local taxes, local costs, etc... still.. for each iPhone they earn 100$ ??
Or they have different market strategies such as rising the prices in countries where people are richer and more likely to buy iPhones even if "overcharged"? Or on the other side.. do they lower prices in poor countries (obviously not under production cost) to help locals buy in Iphone?
I think that Apple is doing their best to stay neutral to the market.. that is... We want 100$ at the end of the day.. whatever...
So we have paradoxes because in some countries iPhone costs more while in these countries people earn less (and I think this is not random.. but happens because.. usually.. countries with more regulations and taxes are also countries with lower wages... but that's politics!)
Here is a small comparison of iPhone 6 (16 Gb version) prices:
USA 550€........................ Average GDP per person 51.704 $ (calculated with California sales tax)
Switzerland 629 €............ Average GDP per person 44.864$
United Kingdom 687€....... Average GDP per person 36.569 $
Gerany 699€.................... Average GDP per person 38.666 $
France 709€................... Average GDP per person 35.295 $
Italy 729€........................Average GDP per person 29.812 $
As you can see Apple seems not to care about living conditions in the country or about average wages etc.. they just have their price adjusted to local regulations and taxes. Europe has 2years warranty service for items sold in Apple Stores (and 1 for items sold in other stores where Apple is responsible only for the first year). We also have some other taxes... For example, here in Italy, we have a tax on hard drives (goes by the Gbyte) that affects any multimedia product. Tax is meant to finance artists whom you are supposedly "stealing" by having unauthorised copies on your portable device... (I know.. is ridiculous). Etc... -
WHY ARE THE UK USERS PAYING MORE FOR THE CLOUD SERVICES????
WHY ARE THE UK USERS PAYING MORE FOR THE CLOUD SERVICES????
OR IS IT JUST LAZYINESS THAT YOU CHANGE THE DOLLAR SIGN FOR THE POUND?it obviously doesn't, but then again some people or organisation only care about price when it comes to purchasing their laptops, and it is hard to justify making a special model for a selected few.
Sure everything can be done if there is a market for it, but Lenovo won't know how large the market is before hand, as such they are hedging a bet by not moving with the market (which Lenovo have done on many occasions). I guess the finanical return is not the worth the risk for Lenovo to keep the 4:3 or 16:10 screens.
But this debate has been going back and forth for a long time, so no point bringing it up again and again.

Why is the price of an unlocked iPhone 4 is the same as sim-free?
In September 2010 I purchased all'Apple Store in San Francisco one iPhone4 sim-free, before I asked the seller if you could use it in Italy and he answered yes, but does not work with the Italian telephone operators GSM.
I only found out after my phone only works with operator AT&T.
Why is the price of an iPhone 4 unlocked is the same as Iphone 4 sim-free?
I would be unlocked for free from Apple, I have paid to have a iPhone4 unusable in Italy, thanks
ByeThe U.S. Apple store publicized as the type of Sim-free iPhone, and not as a contract-free.
Now in the Apple store site, including the FAQ for purchasing iPhone4 unloked, is written:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC603LL/A?mco=MjI4NTM2NTM
"Why does the price of the unlocked iPhone differ from the price of a contract-based iPhone?
Carriers typically subsidize the purchase price of the phone when purchased with a service contract. By purchasing your iPhone unlocked, you are not committing to a service contract up front, so you can use any micro-SIM card from a supported GSM carrier, including your current one"
I wonder why I pay the same price as a phone but an identical unlocked, it is a fraud -

Amazon in general has equal or better prices than Apple for the equivalent merchandise. It really does not matter why. Just shop where you get the best value, selection, and convenience.
As Jim Z hints, Kindle books can run on a wide range of platforms, including iPads and Macs, by the use of the appropriate apps, which by the way are free. -
Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from I-Photo not viewable by a Windows PC?
Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from iPhoto not viewable on a Windows PC?
Because you did it wrong? It's hard to know unless you tell us what you did.
What should work:
Select the photos you want to share
File -> Export and export them to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to the disk with the Finder.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue. -
Why are the apps on my IPad scattered across the whole thing and when I open them they turn to little rectangles in the corner of the screen and I can't even use them or tap on anything. Also when I turn my iPad it doesn't flip the screen over.
Hi The next thing to do is to Restore back to Factory Settings this will get rid of any bugs . After Restore use same Apple ID /Password then you should get all your Apps & data back If you still have this problem make an Appointment at Apple Store . Cheers Brian

Why are the iPhotos not listed in the finder?
why are the iPhotos not listed in the finder?
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. -
Why are the threads start and terminate randomly?
Hi there,
I got the program below. I am wondering why are the threads start and terminate randomly? Everytime, I run the program, it produces different results.
I know that these four threads have got same normal priority (should be 5), and under windows there is something called timeslice. Then these four threads rotate using this timeslice. How do we know what exactly the timeslice is in seconds? If the timeslice is fix, then why the results are ramdom?
Thanks in advance!

public class MyThreadOne implements Runnable {
String tName;
Thread t;
MyThreadOne(String threadName) {
tName = threadName;
t = new Thread(this, tName);
t.start();
public void run() {
try {
System.out.println("Thread: " + tName);
Thread.sleep(2000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println("Exception: Thread "

System.out.println("Terminating thread: " + tName);
public static void main(String args[]) {
// Why are the threads start and terminate randomly?
new MyThreadOne("1");

new MyThreadOne("3");

try {
Thread.sleep(10000);
// Thread.sleep(2000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println(
"Exception: Thread main interrupted.");
System.out.println(
"Terminating thread: main thread.");
1. Firstly, I set in the main function:
Thread.sleep(10000);
and I run the program it gives:
Thread: 1
Thread: 4
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: main thread.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 10 seconds)
Run it again, it gives:
Thread: 2
Thread: 4
Thread: 3
Thread: 1
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: main thread.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 10 seconds)
And my question was why it outputs like this? It suppose to be:
Thread: 1
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Thread: 4
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: main thread.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 10 seconds)
Why these four threads start and finish randomly each time I run the program? I use Windows, suppose there is a timeslice (i.e. 1 second), these threads have the same priority. Then the threads should start and finish in turn one by one. Am I right?
2. My second question is:
When I change the codes in the 'main' function into:
Thread.sleep(10000); -> Thread.sleep(2000);
it gives me the results like:
Thread: 1
Thread: 4
Thread: 3
Thread: 2
Terminating thread: main thread.
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 2
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)
Run it again:
Thread: 1
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Thread: 4
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: main thread.
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)
I tried several times. The main thread always terminates before or after the first child thread finished.
My question is why it doesn't output something like:
Thread: 1
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Thread: 4
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: main thread.
Terminating thread: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)
or
Thread: 1
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Thread: 4
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: main thread.

Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g! I just want to know.
Once I find the game i will truly screenshot that it states "not compatible for these models". I just find it RIDICULOUS that my iPod touch is in good condition and some of the applications that I want download sometimes are not compatible with my iPod touch 4g. I am not going to buy an ipod 5th generation if my 4g is still going strong since the year of 2010.

Why are the download options no longer categorized as in flv, WMP, MP3 etc?
Why are the download options no longer categorized as in flv, WMP, MP3 etc?
All one gets from the download drop-down menu is:
(480p), (240p) or (360p) for example and the name of the video of course.
The way it is now, I cannot identify the type of video I am downloading as I could before.
Thanks!Ubi,
Your assumptions are incorrect. Not all Youtube videos are offered in other formats; some are only offered in FLV format. Generally, only the very HD ones are offered in MP4. The format in which videos are offered are the decision of Youtube and/or the original poster of the video.
I opted to not pay for the VDH converter. There are FREE converters that will convert FLV to other formats, but they do not interface with VDH. Even the VDH converter is a 2-step process (in both manual or automatic mode). The converter that is included free with VDH will put an ugly icon/watermark on your converted video--every frame of the video. To find a free converter, just Google "free flv converter" (with the quotation marks). -
