  • Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

    Paypal for Family Sharing - Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but a foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). So I set up payment with Paypal, and it worked fine. Now I want to take advantage of Family Sharing, but Apple won't allow it. Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

    If you are not in the US then you cannot use the US store, the store's terms say that you have to be in a country to use it - if you are using the US store then you are risking having your account disabled.

    Why can you not use powernap with a custom order iMac with solid state?
    Find it quite ridiculous that a 3 year old mba supports it and not a new iMac

    Agreed.  Why wouldn't you want your Photostream updated while your iMac is sleeping?  I am bummed about this.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Posting your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.
    If you want people to contact you, enable others to see your email address in your profile.
    Is it asking for your iCloud ID password or another one.

  • HT5622 Why can I send a message with an attached photo to one contact on phone or email and can't to another contact. I can sent message on iPhone still I was using messages on iPad

    Why can I send message on iPad messages to one contact and not send same message with same photo to another contact. I can sent message on iPhone to same contact

    I would guess that the problem contact does not have iMessage turned on. The iPad can only send iMessages not SMS messages (phone text). You can send a message to this contact with your iPhone because your iPhone can send SMS text messages.

  • Why can't i use "annotation" with JDK1.5?

    I have installed JDK1.5.
    I used Eclipse3.1 + Myeclipse4.0 with the jre of JDK1.5.
    But when i wrote this class file(use with web framework Tapestry4.0):
    package com.tapestry4.linkdemo.page;
    import org.apache.tapestry.annotations.Persist;
    import org.apache.tapestry.html.BasePage;
    import java.lang.annotation.*;
    public abstract class DirectLinkPage extends BasePage {
          @Persist
             public abstract int getCounter();
             public abstract void setCounter(int counter);
             public void doClick()
                 int counter = getCounter();
                 counter++;
                 setCounter(counter);
    }But the eclipse tell me that i can't use annotation with "@Persist",but when i try importing the java.lang.annotation.* pakcage,eclipse not report an error. Why? What can i do?

    So I try downloading an app again today but it keeps saying it need to update to the newer iOS, which I can't with an iPad 1. I've already updated to the newest version I can.
    It came to me that maybe this problem is coming from the app store. Well, I'd anyone knows of a way to go around this, please do tell me. Or is it that you can't download apps with iPad 1 anymore?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Why can't I use Roboform2go with any Firefox version above 3.6.22?

    Dear Support;
    I love Firefox and I love Roboform2go. But now I can't use Roboform2go (with all the many passwords I have stored on Roboform2go) with any Firefox version above 3.6.22. Why not??? Also now McAfee SiteAdvisor doesn't work with Firefox 3.6.22.

  • Why can't I use SMS with IOS 8??

    Ever since I downloaded iOS 8, I have been unable to send or receive SMS text mesages to and from phones that are not Apple products. How can I fix this?

    Courtney, SMS message problem does this happen to everyone that you try to text to that doesn't have an iPhone? There was a bug awhile back that contacts that once had an iPhone and switch to a non iPhone messages would still think they had messages. The solution was to deactivate messages from as the person that used to have the iPhone. The following link is to the knowledgebase page that describes this process. http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS5185
    I know I explained this poorly but I hope this helps. If all your non iPhone contacts can't receive SMS messages from you then it is probably your carrier. Also a trip into your local apple store might help solve this problem.

  • Why does my apply laptop shut off Safari when I try  to watch videos online? Also why can't I use Firefox with this(I used to)

    Why does ma older apple laptop cancel Safari when I a m watching videos online?  Also,I used to be able to run Firefox but now message states "can't use with this operating system"?

    You can't use Firefox, because your operating system, OS X, is a version 10.4 or earlier. 
    Firefox "upgraded" its Mac compatible version, so that it will only operate with OS 10.6 or later.
    Your Safari also might quit, because it too has an upgraded version with greater stability geared toward 10.4 and later.  Perhaps you are using system 10.3 or earlier.
    It is also possible that Safari quits, because the video sites you watch have changed to be compatible with newer browser versions with later Flash Player compatibility, like Adobe.
    It is difficult to find browser compatibility or stability for earlier than 10.4.
    What the above post is showing is in the drop down menu in the upper left of your screen.  Click on the blue Apple for its drop down menu. Click on the first in the list, About This Mac. That's where you'll see the version as shown in the previous post.
    If you upgraded your Safari, even that could be a problem, because it might not work as well with your older operating system.  I haven't tried the following link, but it offers the Safari versions that fit each system. You can try downloading the one that matches yours.  If that doesn't work, you can always upgrade again.

  • Why can't I use PayPal with Safari?

    I have to open Chrome to use PayPal. This has gone on for a few days now.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Why can I not use LR4 with my new camera raw format?

    My new camera raw format is unrecognizable with LR4. Anyway around this?

    Yes use the Adobe DNG converter to convert the proprietary raw files to DNG raw files. Then LR4 will be able to read them.
