Why can I purchase a plane ticket, but not an App with my Debit card?

I cant believe that Apple continues to not address this issue?!?!? Its been 2 years now that I cannot authorise my Debit card with my iTunes account, to buy a simple App, song or film? I refuse to own a Credit card just so I can purchase items in iTunes.
Wake up Apple, you are losing the thing you love most, MONEY!

Apple has not explained why they no longer accept debit cards in the iTunes Store. All we, your fellow users, here know is that apparently they don't. I doubt that Apple doesn't know that they lose sales due to this policy, so clearly they have some good reason. What that reason is we can only guess, and my guess is that they feel that the lost sales are less important than the problems causes when someone hacks an iTunes Store account and drains someone's bank account.
If you refuse to own a credit card - and personally I think you're taking a risk since debit cards usually give you much less protection against fraud - then perhaps prepaid iTunes cards would be the way to go.
Regards.

HT1727 I want to move all my music (purchased and loaded from CD) from one computer to a new one? I can synch purchased from my iPod but not CD copies.

This user tip should be helpful too. It refers to the iPhone, but it's equally valid for iPods as well…

Why can Premiere read DNxHD MOV's but not MXF's?

I'm in the process of moving from Scratch to Resolve. From Scratch I've always exported DNxHD QT's as they have been the best balance of quality and file size (and Scratch doesn't offer DNxHD MXF output). Resolve 8 will only export DNxHD MXF's (version 9 is supposed to add QT export) but Adobe suite can't read them. To the best of my knowldge the MXF is just a wrapper, the contect is the same so why can't the CS6 suite read them?
Item for the suggestion box?

I guess my question is: Can Premiere/AME CS6 read DNxHD MXF files?
I am running Win7/64 with CS6 Creative Cloud. I have the Avid DNxHD codec installed.
Both Scratch and Resolve are colour grading applications (see http://www.assimilateinc.com/ and http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/davinciresolve ). Scratch would only output DNxHD QT's and Resolve will only output DNxHD MXF's. I often output one set of files after post-colour but then use AME to transcode them many different ways (screening copies). Adobe suite has always read the QT's but is not reading the MXF's. My understanding is that the file types are both just wrappers and the content is the same so I am looking to see if there is an additional download from Adobe to be able to use the MXF's or if this is a feature request?

Why can I reach other web sites but not my own! w/ Airport Extreme?

I can get on line and reach other sites via Safari and IE with the connection via Airport Extreme. But I can't reach my own web site!!!
And my Mac Mail is not useable because it says,
"Connection Failed: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "[email protected]" or try again. The server error encountered was: The server "pop.patternglass.com" cannot be contacted on port 110."
Honestly I've tried! Earthlink hosts my web site and they say its working - and it IS for everyone but me! Comcast is my ISP and they had me disconnect my Airport Extreme and connect my computer directly to the modem. Voila! It all works perfectly. Went back to Airport Extreme and same problem.
There was no 'event' that signaled the change. One minute it was fine last night and the next minute it was gone. Help me, please!

An answer to another question I had about Mac Mail fixed this problem (I can get to my web site) but I still can't get mail into my Mac Mail Box!
I still get "Connection failed. There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "[email protected]" or try again.

Why can't I buy a movie that I pre-ordered, with the iTunes card already redeemed?

See, I bought an iTunes card the other day and redeemed it that same day. After doing so, I pre-ordered a movie that was expected to be released on the 18th of March(today). So I tried to purchase the movie I pre-ordered with the credit I redeemed from the iTunes card, but it is asking for my billing information. So I clicked on the link where it says "To redeem code, click here", and it asked me to enter a code. My concern is why can't I buy that movie I pre-ordered with I the money I have in my iTunes account?

You didn't purchase the movie, you pre-ordered it. So the code works to put in the pre-order for the movie. So it's on hold, so to speak. Then when the movie comes out (and only then) are you actually billed, so you have to enter the code again in case you or someone else who has access to your computer used some -- perhaps too much of the credit in the meantime.
If I use a regular credit card and pre-order something, oftentimes there is some kind of perk or extra included along with it for me in return for pre-ordering. Like an extra feature for example. I don't actually get billed until I actually get the movie and so it's kinda like that.
Did you lose the code?
If you did, I'm sorry, but you could call Apple & hopefully they will make things right.

How can I purchase the 2.0 update for my touch with iTunes gift card?

I purchased an iTunes gift card from BestBuy yesterday specificaly fr the 2.0 update for the touch, but when I get home, I find out that I can buy it unless I use a credit card...BECAUSE I LIVE IN CANADA!? Honestly Apple, you are basicaly begging me to jailbreak my iPod. I don't mind paying for the update, but I want to use my gift card! I'm only 16 so I can't have a credit card. I don't want my $20 dollars to go to waste, it's not as if I'm going to buy music with it, as downloading music is LEGAL here in Canada.

Even though I have a credit card I manage my iTunes account use gift cards. I prefer to keep the credit card for emergency purposes only since it's too easy for me to get carried away with it and run up the balance.
The problem here is in the Canadian iTunes Store you _can not_ use store credits for software or game purchase. According to this post - http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread.php?t=231967 - it is apparently against Canadian tax laws and commerce restrictions to purchase these with store credits or gift cards. Also as suggested in other posts here using PayPal to add credits to your iTunes account will not work since they are credits.
I don't really understand the issue here. I pay cash for my store credits and I pay cash to pay off my credit card. My gift cards were probably bought with a credit card. This will restrict sales in Canada since I would guess the majority of iPod owners are too young to obtain a credit card.

Why can I cache method & field ids but not class?

In my efforts to understand JNI, I've been making heavy use of http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jni/.
I'm having trouble reconciling some of the points it makes with regard to caching; in particular, section 4.4.1 has an example of caching a jmethodID in MyNewString().
I don't understand why this is valid, but the example in 5.5.1 which caches the jclass is invalid.
After all, these are both simply jobjects in the end, and isn't the jmethodID cached in 4.4.1 based off the jclass found the first time? Doesn't that become invalid when the jclass becomes invalid?
Thanks,
: jay

The point the author of that book is trying to make is that caching JNI local references of such data like Java method IDs and classes is not valid across successive JNI calls. If you want to cache something the first time you load it and reuse it later, create a global reference via NewGlobalRef(), make this your cached variable, and delete the local reference automatically obtained from the JVM when you first asked for that something. Then you can refer to that cached variable all you want.
Also beware of trying to use references across threads - this is illegal in JNI. (You might want to reread chatper 5 for this and more. My opinion is the book "Essential JNI" is a bit better though not up to date either.)

Can I purchase a tv episode but not download it?

Since all my purchases are kept in the cloud and can be streamed to my AppleTV, I have no need to download TV episodes - taking up drive space, Time Machine drive space, lengthening the time it takes to do full volume (SuperDuper!) backups.

If you purchase a TV episode you have to download it, otherwise it will just sit in your account's download queue and resume downloading everytime you connect to the iTunes Store. That said, you could certainly delete it after downloading it, if that is what you want. However, I feel I should mention that items are only available for redownload via the cloud for as long as they are available in the iTunes Store. If that content is ever deleted from the store's catalog, then you won't be able to redownload it. For this reason, it is still a good idea to back up your purchases.

Why can a MUCOW have border style, but not Effects ?

I know this may be part of a feature request
As mucows are wrapped inside DIV sections, is there any reason why you cannot use the Effects (Shadow / Bevel etc.) It's just awkward having to always creating containing boxes to keep styles alined when it is possible on the parent div section through css.

Your line must be designated as the "primary" line, and his is the secondary. And late October 2009 would put your upgrade dates right where they are - October 2009 is ONE year and 8 months ago.
A nice rep MAY, MAY let you upgrade hubby's line early. You said you want the iPhone; you wouldn't be able to get that for your line on the early upgrade anyway (at least it wasn't happening when they first came out...) so here's what I would do . . .
Use your early upgrade to get the HTC for your husband. You will need to activate it briefly on your line to accept the Terms and Conditions, then go back to your old phone and give hubby the HTC.
When HIS upgrade comes up the end of June, go ahead and get the iPhone, activate it briefly on his line to accept the Terms and Conditions, then swap it over to your line.
You both get new phones, upgrade discounts will apply, and your dates will be within a couple of weeks of each other. He gets the Trophy, you get the iPhone.

You need to add a credit card. Payments from bank accounts are not a few minutes as paypal use electronic and not wire transfers and that takes days. As said some companies prefer immediate payment so paypal has to send that via a credit card funded payment. **************************************** I give up my time to help you so a thank you or kudos would be cool.
Marking one of my replies as a solution would be appreciated if I sorted your problem.

excellent question. maybe you could give us some more information such as
what happens when you try?
is there anything in common with all the people you can't text (like they all own iphones or they all don't)?

Why can I download and install CS6beta but the program does not activate???

Why can I download and install CS6beta but the program refuses to be activated on the idiotic grounds that either I am not connected to the internet or my computer clock is not showing the right time? If in New Zealand we're not allowed to use the beta, why does Adobe not have the decency and courtesy of telling us so and why instead of feeding us with those stupid putoffs???

I had a note from PS Pattie ; I can't find it here. Anyhow, these were her questions and my answers:
Q:Did you download from this location? http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/photoshopcs6/
A: Yes
Q:Did you select TRY and enter your Adobe ID?
A: I was then asked to "Sign in". I pressed the sign and got the following reaction:
Please connect to the internet and retry. Either your computer is offline or the clock on your computer is set incorrectly, causing a connection error. An internet connection is required. Please connect to the internet or adjust your clock and try again. If this problem persist, please contact Customer Support. I did so and was told "This page is not available"
Q: Did you try to download again and install?
A: Yes, three times – each time 1.71GB. I tried many other devices; none worked.
