  • Why do i need to enter the credit card information for downloading free apps and redeem the codes?

    why do i need to enter the credit card information for downloading free apps and redeem the codes?

    As a security precaution, Apple verifies your billing credentials with every transaction whether paid or free apps or using the balance of a redeemed code.

  • HT1918 Why do you need my credit card information when I purchase songs from an already purchased Itunes gift card?

    Why do you need my credit card information when I purchase songs from an already purchased Itunes gift card?  If I cannot purchase goods with the prepuchased gift cards, then the card is useless and I want my money back.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    Just because you are being asked to enter your credit card details doesn't mean that it will be charged for your purchases.
    Is it a newly created account ? If it is then unless you use the instructions on this page when creating an account then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used in the store : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

  • I cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4.. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

    I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
    I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
    So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
    Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

  • I have Office Mac Home and Student.  Just spoke to Microsoft; they say I cannot but Outlook as a stand alone product.  I cannot upgrade Home and Student to Business.  Any solutions besides Parallel or buying Office Business?

    There are other mail programs available. Including the built in mail program. Why do you need outlook.

  • Why are you asking for my Visa card information when I have a balance on my iTunes gift card?

    Why are you asking for my Visa card information when I have a balance on my iTunes gift card?

    Either because you're trying to buy some sort of gift, or the iTunes Store servers are checking the validity of your account and won't charge the card, or there's a problem at Apple's end.

  • Do I need to have a .MAC account in order for me to purchase a photo book?

    Do I need to have a .MAC account in order for me to purchase a photo book?

    No. You do need an Apple ID, which is the same thing you'd set up to buy content on iTunes or stuff from the Apple store online. This doesn't cost you extra, e.g. $99 for a .Mac account, but you do need to set it up with a credit card.

  • In the home page why does Firefox say I haven't upgraded when I have. This has been going on for over three weeks, I am now on 9 and still it says I have not upgraded.

    In the home page why does Firefox say I haven't upgraded when I have. So I upgrade again and still it says I haven't next time I log on. Today I upgraded to 9, it said congratulations on upgrading, I log off then log back on only to be told yet again I need to upgrade. What is going on?

    You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. It appears that page is no longer being maintained. You appear to have Firefox 8.0.1 installed which is the latest version.
    '''If you want the Google search page as your home page,''' change your home page to '''''about:home''''' (a new, updated version is now built-in to Firefox).

    I have a mac mini and an iphone handed down to me - i think its 3 and ive updtaed with version 6.0.  they are updated for emails etc via i cloud.  i need to buy a word processing package and would like to know if i have to buy it seperately for each device. 
    I am considering the new ipad and would like to share pages and poss other apps like speadsheet etc- will i be able to do this.
    Finally I am thinking about getting cellular access - can i get it on my iphone and share my usuage with a new ipad or vice versa?  if i get 3g on my current old phone can i share it with the new ipad?
    trying to get my head around all of this so simple answers please!

    Apps bought from the Mac App Store are made strictly to run on OS X.  iOS apps are made to run only on iOS devices.

  • Why do my documents disappear on my device when I delete my iCloud account?

    Why do my documents disappear on my iPad when I delete my iCloud account.  I don't want to sync all the aps from my iPhone to my iPad, so I deleted my iCloud account on my iPad, but all my documents disappeared from my iPad.  How can I get them back??

    To access documents in the cloud, the iCloud account needs to be setup.
    If you don't want all apps to automatically sync to your iPad, just turn that option off in Settings > Store

  • Need multiple 'MAIL' Icons.   Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain

    Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain the butt.  This has been a request from Apple users for many years.    it's great you can now combine all emails into one, but some people want them kept separate and have separate icons on the main page.   They could easily do this by having one "MAIL" account as white and another red.  Or put MAIL 1 and MAIL 2.    Or an actual label that the mail accounts are called on the ICONS!!  
    Help!

    ...I could switch back and forth between accounts while in the mailbox, with one button.  I think that is what you are referring to?  Whoever said it's just a simple switching - you obviously haven't had the pleasure of using an Android device.  It's not that quick to go back and forth - definitely not efficient...
    Not that it matters a lot, Android vs iPhone interface is largely a matter of personal preference and what you know... I'm not sure which one you're saying is not efficient...
    In any event...
    I currently have two email accounts setup.  My iPhone main page Mailbox settings reads:
    Mailboxes
    Inboxes
    All Inboxes
    Gmail
    [email protected]
    Accounts
    Gmail
    [email protected]
    I wish there an efficient way to move back and forth while in the "Inbox" between accounts.  Also, Why does one gmail account show as "Gmail" and another as the actually address?
    The names are based on the names you gave the accounts when you set them up.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap the account you want to re-name. Go to the "Description" field and put in what ever you want.
    Second, there is no way to quickly choose a bunch of emails to delete. I have to manually go into each one and move it to the Trash folder.
    If you tap the edit button in the upper right while in mail, you can select multiple items to move, delete or mark (flag).
    I don't want any of the condescending remarks, that I've read here and in other forums.  I'm honestly looking for a solution, which I think you are too!  One thing I realized is that iPhone users in these forums are really defensive and quick to say "that's how it is, live with it, if you don't like it go away"  Um...the only thing that tells me is you are pretty bitter and have kept telling yourself that, to force yourself to like your device.  I prefer to express my issues, and find solutions.  There is ALWAYS a solution...
    I think what you will find is that many people here, myself included, tend to get a bit short with people who start off with attacks or whining about how something has been asked for for years and should be easy, rant about things that have already been beaten to death multiple times in the forums, talk about how much better Android or BB are at something (really... if it's that much better, why did they buy an iPhone to begin with?), etc., or continue to ask questions that could easily be answered with a simple search, or even just by looking back at the last dozen posts to the forum, half of which probably asked the EXACT SAME question.
    I don't think any of us go out of our way to be rude or uncivil.  That said, attacking the people who are attempting to help you is much more likely to generate a response of 'if you don't like it, go away', than it is to generate something that will be truly helpful.

  • Can anyone tell me why my collusion .27 add-on stopped working when I updated to firefox 20 (and now 21?).

    Can anyone tell me why my collusion .27 add-on stopped working when I updated to firefox 20 (and now 21?). I've tried removing and reinstalling to no avail. I even deleted my profile files and had firefox repopulate those automatically to no avail. And it's not the only add-on to have stopped working.

    So the answer to my question is yes - from an old Exchange account that was provided by a previous employer.
    If so, you can't.
    You can't merge or transfer contacts that were synced over the air with an Exchange account with another account, and the same for syncing the contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer. This is how most employers want it.
