Why does anyone continue to do business with a company that forces you to keep auto renewal on your account?

I find it intolerable that I cannot purchase a one-year subscription without having auto renewal tacked on.  There is no way to turn it off other than cancelling the account and being charged a fee.  This puts the task of remembering to login a year later right before the subscription ends on the customer if they want to get the full use of the subscription for which they have paid.  This is just bad service and an obvious ploy to get people to renew by trusting that many will forget to turn it off a year later.

This is not Apple's decision, but a decision of the copyright holders and record companies:
They just want to improve their sales and decided that this is a possible way.

  • Why does iMovie not recognize video taken with my iPhone that is in Aperture

    Since "upgrading" (not sure that is a good term for this project) to Lion, I am unable to see or import .mov files taken with my iPhone, on a Mac using Aperture and iMovie. I uninstalled 3ivX and now can see them in iPhoto and Aperture but when I try to import them into iMovie you cannot see them in the media browser.

    You have to import the movie into iTunes via iOS file sharing, then drag the movie from the file sharing window in iTunes to the desktop, then you can import the movie into iMovie. Here are the details.

    That is the point of a beta version.
    Software in the beta phase will generally have many more bugs in it than completed software, as well as speed/performance issues. The focus of beta testing is reducing impacts to users, often incorporating usability testing. "

  • What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop?  I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files.  How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)?  Thanks for your help!

    What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop?  I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files.  I have to immediately move to trash all the duplications on my desktop.  How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)?  Thanks for your help!

    What application is set to open PDF files? If you CNTRL click on the file and open with Preview does the problem occur?
    If not change the default application to open PDF files to Preview.
    You can do this by highlighting the file and either use CMD i or Get Info , this will open a window with the info on the file with an option to change the application that opens the file.
    That's all I can think of.

  • Normally if anyone buys an apple product (mac) , it comes with a built-in-apps that should be considered ( built in ) , Then why when the mac faces a mistake or an error that forces it to format , these apps don't show up ? etc : iMovie , garageband

    normally if anyone buys an apple product with a specific model (mac) , it comes with a built-in-apps that should be considered ( built in ) , Then why when the mac faces a mistake or an error that forces it to format , these apps don't show up ? etc : iMovie , garageband ...
    considered it should be '' BUILT IN APPS '' ??
    So does it really make sense that i should buy these apps again after i already payed an extra amount of money in the first place to get a model that includes them ??
    after formatting my mac these apps should be there like its a whole new device that i opened !!!
    I hope anyone with any useful information can share his thoughts or help with further steps .

    When headset is inserted, why does sound continue to come from the speaker?

    Sure your inserting the headset into the Headphone Out port and not the In port..?
    Also what headset....?
    Most PC based headset with built in mic's will not work without using a device like the Griffin iMic.

  • Does anyone get the mouse lag with an external display connected via the display port?

    does anyone get the mouse lag with an external display connected via the display port?

    You don't describe the problem in great detail.  Is this the issue you are describing?
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4398076?start=0&tstart=0
    If so, then, "Yes."  I have the same problem.  Note that this isn't a tracking speed problem for me, it's a lag between my hand moving and the pointer moving on the external display.

  • Why does my screen have a circle with contact name

    why does my screen have a circle with contact name

    it might be the recents feature showing up on the home screen, this can be switched off.Once you’ve completed the upgrade to iOS 8, head to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Scroll down until you see the Contacts section and tap on Show In App Switcher. Here you’ll see the options for displaying contacts in the app switcher screen: your iPhone favorites, your recent contacts, or both. Note that if you enable both favorites and recent contacts, your favorites will be displayed first, and you’ll have to scroll to the right to see your recent contacts.

        Thanks for the zip code pfekete. I looked into the coverage in your area and I do see you are in an extended 1X data coverage which explains why you're not connecting to 3G. What phone do you have? We may be able to advise you on how to adjust the settings so it picks up the strongest signal. I apologize for the inconvenience.
