Why can't i successfully put in Paypal for the itunes store....have tried numerous time and get success and then unsuccessful
I want to get 2 updates iPhoto and iMovie that are available and can't get past the requirement to add a payment source. I've gone through the process several times and will get a successful and then unsuccessful. The 1st note I get is that it hasn't been used for the iTunes store, which I never use....so frustrated.
Problem resolved. Learned from a tech that I could choose "none", which is grey in the choices. Did that and was able to then get my available free updates. I didn't want to set up a prepaid account and didn't have to. Seems to be a glitch in the system but I'm done with that on.

I'm having problems downloding Itunes - I have tried 6 times on different dates and I can get it to run - please help
The master password protects saved passwords in Thunderbird and has nothing to do with connecting to your providers server. You need to work with your email provider if you have forgotten your email password. Go to their email help site and look for a link to reset your password.

Why can't you purchase an audio book on the Itunes store from an Apple TV?
Apple seems to be moving everything they sell on Itunes to graphics, away from the traditional text based browse function they started with.
I don't think they've done the most effective job on that move on a PC/Mac, it's sometimes easier just to go through the Apple TV and buy from there and let it just sync and transfer to my Itunes library on my PC.
However, I've noticed that you can't purchase an audiobook from an Apple TV, though you can purchase everything else that can play on an Ipod from there.
Audiobooks just don't show up as an option on the Itunes store from an Apple TV, but they do play on your Apple TV if you purchase them from the Itunes store from the PC or Mac you sync or stream from.
Does anyone know if this is a licensing issue, or yet another oops/oversight on Apple's part? Doesn't seem to make sense, Apple has been pushing tighter and tighter integration between the Itunes store and Apple TV, and it's yet another lost revenue stream on Apple's part that I hope they fix.
If you can buy it from the store, you ought to be able to buy it using your apple TV. Period. Makes as much (non)sense as restricting what content you can purchase if you are buying it from an Iphone vs. a PC vs. a Mac. If you sell content on your store that plays on your devices, then sell it, regardless of which device (that you also make and sell) that your customers access your Itunes store from. It's why they make us sync everything back to Itunes on a computer in the first place.
And yes, while it may sound counter-intuitive to listen to an audio book from a device connected to a TV,
I listen to audiobooks from my Apple TV nightly in my bedroom to go to sleep by, streamed via airtunes to the Aux port on my clock radio by my bed, then turn the TV off and snooze. Works extremely well and has for years now. Beats headphones or futzing with external speakers on an Ipod or trudging upstairs to the room I have my PC in to stream an audiobook to airtunes, then back to bed. With Apple TV, it's pick, click, then turn off the tv and the lights. Sure would be nice to buy an audio book that way also.
Any thoughts on why they would restrict you from buying audiobooks from an Apple TV? To me, it's yet another lost revenue opportunity for impulse buys courtesy of Apple.Send your tv feedback here

tried to update 10.7.4 to 10.7.5 get un expected error at cleanup....have tried several times with no success..after failed try mail will not open because the mail is now incompatible with 10.7.4......HELP
2009 MacBook Pro eh? It looks like your hard drive has failed. Three years is pretty standard. Often, then only hint you have is catastrophic failure.
If you put the old hard drive into an external enclosure or similar device, you may still be able to migrate your data from it. Just because it won't boot doesn't mean you can't still read from it. Still, I wouldn't keep trying it. As long as you are buying a new hard drive, may as well get sometime to use with Time Machine too. -
why when i want to download a free app from app store it asks for my apple id and when i give my apple id it then says "this apple id has not yet been used in the itunes store". i dont even know what that means and it will this happen everytime?
If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

Hello everyone I have a question I use my Apple ID for iMessage but I want to know if I can use my friends Apple ID just for the App Store, can I do that ????
First on a computer try editing your ID to change the payment method to None.
How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Click on Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your Apple ID name and password. Click Edit and enter the new information, then click Save Changes. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
If problems see:
Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
Last:
Create a NEW account using these instructions. You have to use an email address not used with Apple before.
Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

I can no longer leave an app review in the iTunes store
I can no longer leave an app review in the iTunes store.
After I sign in, and want to leave a review I get the following message: "You must own this item to write a Customer Review. In order to write a Customer Review for this item you must have purchased or downloaded it."
I used to be able to write and edit my reviews which I have done! But now I can't anymore even though I have bought and/or downloaded several apps. iTunes won't let me write a review anyway.
Any help is appreciated.I have the same problem (for Mac and iPhone apps) and contacted Apple about this.
The English speaking support said it is a known error and that they are working on a solution. The German support however (which I contacted first, unfortunately) gave me a refund of the apps I wrote them as an example. They told me I should buy them again – which is not possible, since the MacAppStore then gives the message "You have already purchased this app..." Ironically, for one of the two apps I was finally able to write a review, even at this point it wasn't listed in the purchased apps list anymore.
I've never asked for a refund, and it's causing me more trouble than I had before: now I cannot update these refunded apps anymore (since they are not listed in the "Purchased" list). So I have to check manually if there is a new update (comparing version numbers) and then delete the app and "purchase" it again. Of course I would simply buy the apps from the developer directly, however, they are MacAppStore only.
When I asked the AppStore support about a solution for this problem, they said it's technically not possible to write reviews for refunded apps (? yes, of course they were not really reading what I wrote them. I guess support at Apple is done by Siri now) and gave 10 free iTunes songs.
I think reviews are very important for both customers and developers and it's not just a minor inconvenience, but a serious problem; what is especially disturbing, is that it's not the same for all apps: for Pixelmator, I had no problems to post a review, for Jumsoft's "Relationship" it doesn't work, for some apps it worked immediately, for some after a few weeks, for some never. -
I can't log into the Itunes store. I type in my Apple ID and my password and the message "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes Store." "Enter another Apple ID." I need help on fixing this.
Yeah I'm starting to see a ton of forums posts right now about the same thing :/ I wonder what's going on

Why does my ipad ask me to sign into the iTunes Store when i start up my ipad?
why does my ipad ask me to sign into the iTunes Store when i start up my ipad?
Probably because you have not signed in in the Settings app. The iTunes and App Store keeps track of apps that need updating and auto updates apps for you. You need to be sign in for this to work.
Settings > iTunes and App Store > sign in. -
i just downloaded two rental movies from the iTunes store, proceeded to sync them to my iPad, and now I can't find where they landed. Anybody know where to access rental movies on the iPad? thanks
And just in case .... You don't actually sync rental movies to the iPad....
To transfer a rented movie from iTunes, use the movies pane in iTunes. Rented movies transfer is at the top. You must have an Internet connection to transfer a rented movie. Select the "move" arrow in the direction you wish to transfer, and click the apply button at the bottom right. Rented movies can only exist on one device at a time, they do not sync like other video, but move from iTunes to the iPad. -
Why can't HK account purchase any item outside of iTunes store HK?!
I had changed my billing address and country to Hong Kong earlier today.
But afterward, the App store stopped me from installing any more app with some reason like "your account is only valid for HK itunes store". In fact, the apps I chose were 'free' and designed for HK user. It's really stupid. I had to change the info all back into Canada.
Why can't we, HK account users, purchase item outside of HK store as long as we have a valid credit card?!Thank the music industry for this one. A music company may decide to release certain music in some countries only. Before downloads, you had to travel to the country to buy the music. Now, they just block you via the credit card billing address. Pathetic.

Trouble using Paypal at the iTunes store
I have an iTunes account. I have enjoyed trouble free service, until now.
I decided to set up my daughter with her own account. First, I set up a Paypal account for here and put a little cash in it. Then, she and I set up an iTunes account for her, a nice lesson in online shopping and financial responsiblity. When I attempted to use Paypal as the method of payment, I was directed to a series of Paypal pages to complete the process. I was asked to supply a credit card as a backup funding source. There seems to be no way around this, or is there?
Here's the rub: I specifically used a Paypal account so that my daughter would be paying cash (electronically speaking). If I wanted to use a credit (or debit) card number, I would have simply used one at the iTunes store rather than Paypal. It doesn't make sense. Jillions of other online vendors accept Paypal and if there is a balance in my account they don't care if there is a credit card backup. They are happy to take the cash. Besides, it's not like there is large amount at stake.
Am I missing something? Thanks in advance for any advice and help.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.8)Paypal use to work as you say. It was all contained inside of iTunes without taking you to a secondary app (Browser) and forcing you to go through their protocol. You can't buy Gift Certificates now using Paypal either and if you try it takes you to Apples website and then never gives you a paypal option.
Yet on Apples own site they say Paypal is accepted when it's not an option for payment? Apple seems to be making a lot of mistakes lately. With Zune around the corner they better focus on GREAT customer service or they'll loose massive market share. -
