Why can't I change my Nickname or Reviews/Ratings in iTunes Account Info Settings?

Hello,
I was messing around some more in iTunes, and went to the iTunes store to change some of my Account Information.  I successfully changed my email and payment info under the heading "Apple ID Summary" ...but I had some issues editing my information in the "Settings" section.
I will explain what happened, or did not happen, briefly.  My question, for lack of more specific words, is, why will iTunes Store not follow through with these commands?
All follows in the iTunes Store > Account Information > Settings:
1)  I clicked on the link "Edit Nickname" so I could change it to something more "mature" (as I made this name when I was about 17 years old).  This link took me to a different screen within iTunes Store, where I typed in my desired new Nickname in the appropriate space.  However, when I clicked "Submit," the screen simply did nothing.  No error message, no successful change, nothing at all...it just stayed the same.
2)  I tried also to edit the "Reviews and Ratings" history by clicking on the "Manage" link.  This link also led me to a different screen, showing two ratings I had made for games/applications on my iPod touch.  I tried to click the "Remove" link next to each review.  Again, nothing happened...no message at all, the screen simply stayed the same.
Again, I appreciate any help.  Thanks!

Apparantly not, and here is the extremely unhelpful reply from Apple support I recieved;
From Support,
I understand that you want to change your nickname of your iTunes Store account. I am sure you are anxious at this time and I will do whatever I can to help you right away.
Jeff, you can change your iTunes Store billing information at any time. When you update your credit card number or billing address through the iTunes Store, any equivalent information you might use with MobileMe, iPhoto, Aperture, or the Apple Store online is also updated.
To update your billing address or credit card number, follow these steps:
1) Make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes. It can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
Note: Installing the latest version of iTunes will not affect your library or any items in your account that you haven't downloaded.
2) Click this link:
iTunes will automatically launch and the sign-in dialog will appear.
3) If you are not already signed in, you will need to enter your iTunes Store account name and password and then click the Account Info button.
4) On your Apple Account Information page, click Edit Payment Information
Make the necessary changes. Your billing address should be exactly the same as the address on your credit card statement and with the United States Postal Service (click "Find a ZIP Code" at http://www.usps.com and follow the onscreen instructions). This is important, because even differences in punctuation, abbreviation, and capitalization can cause payment errors that might prevent you from using the iTunes Store.
5) When all of the information is up to date, click Done.
When you update your billing information, the iTunes Store places an authorization hold on your credit card to verify your account information. You might see this authorization request on your online statement. This is not an actual charge; it is simply a test to confirm that your credit card account is active and has credit available to accommodate transactions.
Authorization requests are automatically removed from your account by your financial institution. The amount of time it takes to remove authorization requests varies by financial institution. If you have any questions about the way your financial institution handles authorization requests, please contact their customer-service department.
I hope that you will find this information helpful. I will be glad if you let me know that my email reached you in a right spirit.
Our customers deserve the best and our aim is to ensure that each and every customer of Apple must be happy and satisfied. If you have any questions or concerns in future, please let us know so that we can help you better.
Thank you for being a part of iTunes family. We are glad to have you as our customer.
Have a great day!
Sincerely,
Now, tell me how that helps at all. They almost directly change the subject,....Jeff, we understand you need to change your nickname....next sentence is telling me how to change my billing.
Also, i went through the process of changing billing and other info, which of course, didnt do ANYTHING to help change the nickname.

  • HT1918 Why can't I use my icloud email address for my iTunes account

    Tired of the cox communications inability to imap emails, going to dump it completely want to use the icloud email address I have, why can't I change my apple id to that email address

    "Well, then I want to be able to merge that one and the one my purchases are on..."
    This is exactly what I want to do but don't think I can:
    I noticed the following :
    If you attempt to create an Apple ID which is the same as your @icloud email address from the online facility, it does not allow you (can't use an Apple associated email address as your Apple ID). However - if you start a fresh device - such as a new iPhone, iPad (must be mobile it seems), and then create an iCloud account and Apple ID from the prompts when setting up the mobile device, it IS possible to have your Apple ID and @iCloud email address as the same. I know because I just did it!
    Unfortunately for me, the result I got above is not for one of my own ID's but a friends, and I would VERY much like to do the same - my current Apple ID is a completely different email address from my iCloud account. Trying to get them the same in my situation is a major bother - I think that if I wipe a device (such as an iPhone5 that is mine) and try to setup as I did my friend's device, then I will get a conflict because the iCloud email I have ALREADY exists. This is my worry and I will not attempt this until I get the new iPad 4 soon to test this.
    There is an inconsistency here between the two methods of creating Apple ID's and iCloud accounts.
    Overall in my opinion, the Apple ID system as currently available from Apple is not designed very well, and should be addressed.
    Best wishes -

  • Why can't I see my PayPal payment option in my iTunes account?

    Sorry, hit send too soon.  Tried to download from app store for last 2 days, but it said that I have to verify my PayPal account.  Nothing wrong with PayPa (verified thru PayPal) but I don't even see a PayPal option in my iTunes account.  I Remember setting it up when I got my iPad, but why can't I see it now to make changes.  The only thing I see is my credit card info, but downloads won't pull credit card info.

    I figure this out on my own.
    Tap on the graphic of the book (not the chapters link in the top right corner) and the process bar with time played, remaining, and even repeat are available.
    Lesson learned? If you keep tapping, eventually the solution will be found.

  • Why can't I change the order of songs in my iTunes library?

    If I create a playlist I can change the order of songs but I can't change the order in the Library. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks

    That's the normal intended behaviour of the Library. I'm not exactly sure why it is, but I guess it's to make it clear to users that if they want to "fine tune" the tracks they should use a playlist (just like you can't use the burn button in the library).
    I'm sure you've noticed that you can still sort the library by clicking the headings.

  • Why can I not see Paypal as a payment option in iTunes account?

    According to the Apple website itself I can select my Paypal account for iTunes Store purchases. However, following the instructions on said site to enable this, Paypal is not displayed in payment options. Is it only available to U.S. iTuners?

    Yes, currently PayPal is only available as a payment option if you're in the U.S.

  • HT1339 Why can't I get my Ipod Music off of my Itunes account onto my Iphone????

    Do i have to plug my Outdated Ipod onto my computer and then log in my Iphone?

    Charge your iPod for at least 2 hours,  the iPod screen may show blank for the first 30 minutes.
    After charging till full charge, (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.

  • Why can't I change my apple id / email address associated with my apple id ?

    Hi KeanuReeves,
    It sounds like you have already done most of the steps in this article relating to changing the email associated with your Apple ID, but you may want to go through them again -

  • Why can't I change to size of my test in emails now? CanI go back to previous email version. This one is horrible!!!

    Why can't I change to size of my test in emails now? CanI go back to previous email version. This one is horrible. On my last update I was able to easilt find old emails now they disappear!!!! WTF?
    This version cannot change the text size Do I have to go back to IE?

    Which email site do you use?
    And some general advice:
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • HT201210 Why can't I change the location of my device backups?

    Why can't I change the location of my device backups?
    iTunes seems to force me to use my c:\ drive as the destination for all backups. 
    Background: I have set up my c:\ drive only for programs - all data is stored on separate drives - including my iTunes library and all media. So, I can't skinny down the c:\ drive any more without uninstalling programs.
    The issue is that my 10,000 rpm, 280 GB - C:\ drive is fast but small and is now FULL after I got about 1/2 way through a 128 GB backup of my ipad.  (Yes, all movies have been deleted off of the iPad to minimize the size of the backup.)
    I deleted the partial iPad backup, moved all the Mobile Applications to another drive, emptied the recycle bin and tried again with my much smaller iPhone.  You guessed it: the io7 update hung and both of my devices are now paper weights.
    Which leaves me f*cked, anyone know how I can un-f myself?

    iTunes movies are not part of an iDevice backup.
    Videos & photos you take with the camera (in the Camera roll) are part of the backup but those should be sync'd to the computer and removed from the camera roll.

  • Why can't I change qty of Transfer Order

    hi,guys
    I had allow partially delivery goods in order, but when I created Transfer Order from delivery order, I found that I can not change pick qty in transfer order, I used LT03 to create transfer order, so, why can't I change pick qty in transfer order, it is gery!!!

    Hi there,
    If you want to process only a partial quantity, then you have to create delivery only for a partial quantity.
    In a transfer order TO you have to pick the entire delivery quantity. Partial picking is not allowed in TO. Quantity field is blank in TO.
    For eg if you have 100 items in a sales order, but you want to process only 50 now. So create a delivery for 50 items & process TO. If you create delivery for 100 items, do picking in TO for all the 100 items. Just processing TO for 50 items is not permitted. This means that all quantities in delivery has to be picked to PGI.

  • Why can't I change the transparent color and font color in IOS 7?

    Who thought all this WHITE AND TRANSPARENT color looks appealing?
    Why can't I change the color of the folders and text?
    I already tried inverting the colors and then it washes out the photos I use as my wallpaper.
    I love everything, so far, except this transparent issue.

    That's very sad those colors can't be changed. They really look ugly.
    Thanks for responding.

  • Why can't I change the transaction isolation level?

    To my surprise, the isolation level TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE is supported from the database vendor. So why can't I change the transaction isolation level?

    You can change the setting, you may need to click the lock at the bottom of the preference pane. Be careful what you download and install, Gatekeeper is there to help you. OS X: About Gatekeeper - Apple Support
