Why does apple disable iranian accounts? Is true really? Is technology same like politics?

If you mean in order to purchase items from Apple, they are following current U.S. government sanctions which prohibits the sale of any technology to Iran.

    Why does apple disable my account without reason?

    Then, USA is not a country which has freedom.
    There is no such thing in the world as absolute freedom. That's anarchy. All civilized societies have rules to govern our actions. Like it or not, a current rule is that no company based in the U.S. is allowed to sell any type of technology to Iran.
    Here is a text version of the U.S. Government's sanction. Note this particular paragraph:
    • EXPORTS TO IRAN - In general, unless licensed by OFAC, goods, technology, or
    services may not be exported, reexported, sold or supplied, directly or
    indirectly, from the United States or by a U.S. person, wherever located, to
    Iran or the Government of Iran. The ban on providing services includes any
    brokering function from the United States or by U.S. persons, wherever located.
    For example, a U.S. person, wherever located, or any person acting within the
    United States, may not broker offshore transactions that benefit Iran or the
    Government of Iran, including sales of foreign goods or arranging for
    third-country financing or guarantees.
    The U.S. can't do anything about you buying an Android if you want one. The maker of that product is located in Taiwan.

  • HT204053 Why does Apple kick their old subscribers under the bus? I have an iMac G5 2.1 Computer using Leopard 10.5.8 system, and I am no longer able to renew my MobileMe account, Why? Maybe I should look into PC Computers in the future!

    Why does Apple kick their old subscribers under the bus? I have an iMac G5 1.9 and 2.1 computer using Leopard 10.5.8 system, and I cannot renew my MobileMe account, why? Is Apple incapable of keeping their old subscriber accounts active and still update their system? Maybe I should look into buying a PC in the future? I eagerly await your reply. Thanks

    MobileMe is being terminated in two weeks. If you have files on your iDisk which are not also on your computer you need to be downloading them as soon as possible or you will lose them.
    You can migrate to iCloud and set Mail up manually to receive your @me.com mail:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    You will not be able to sync calendars or contacts. If you want to have general online file storage you will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options:

  • HT3702 why does Apple not go through PayPal for ipad game purchases?

    why does Apple not go through PayPal for ipad game purchases that are in your PayPal bank account? Not everyone uses credit cards

    The iTunes Store does allow purchases via PayPal, but only in the US. If you're in another country, PayPal is not available as a payment method.

  • In Address Book, why does Apple let you create custom fields in the Template cards but not have them available for importing?

    I open Address Book, go into Preferences, select Template and under the Names field (friend, assistant, father, etc) I add a custom field called "Principal".
    I also add two more custom fields in the Email area.
    Quit Address Book then relaunch. Add a new contact and the new custom fields, Principal, etc. are there. All good so far.
    I have a Now Contact file with about 200 contacts in it. I export all fields as a Text file, Tab delimited. No problems there. With Address Book launched, select Import, pick the text file, leave Text Encoding on Automatic and click Open.
    The window that shows the fields for Address Book and fields for the text file side by side opens. This is where you match up the correct fields for importing. If I go to one of the fields from the text file that I created a custom field for, click under the Address Book heading on the Do not import, scroll thru the Apple choices of fields, none of the custom fields show up. Only the original Apple ones are there. Why does Apple let you create them in the Template area but not have them available for importing? Does anyone have suggestions on getting around this?

    While most likely not of interest to you, Spotlight can also tell you where the files it finds are located
    Hover the mouse pointer over the name, and press Command-Option and the path to the file will be displayed.
    As for opening a terminal session in the directory where a file is located, there is Applescripts that do just that as well as specific features in Lion/Mountain Lion terminal:

  • Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8

    Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8?

    The kit is firmly inserted in thhe iPad's dock ? You could also try a reset and see if it's recognised after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    I haven't had problems using the kit with SD cards from Canon cameras . What capacity is the card, and it's an SD or SDHC card - if it's an SDXC card that's formatted as ExFAT then it won't be recognised

  • Why does apple tv take hours to record

    Why does Apple TV take hours to record movies?

    Not sure what you mean by 'record movies'
    If you are trying to rent a movie and it's taking a long time before it starts then that is due to your connection.
    720P requires 6mbps for instant streaming
    1080P requires 8mbps
    You can switch to SD in the settings
    To check your connection go to speedtest.net

    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. "

    This is a user to user forum.  Apple isn't here and won't answer you.  You need to contact Apple directly.  You can use the Contact button at the bottom of the screen.

  • Why does apple not remove the malware Genieo

    Why does apple not remove the malware Genieo - it takes over the Safari browser even with extensions turned off - firefox works fine but the malware is still alive and kicking on my mac.  Should I just uninstall safari and hope the malware is not doing more damage in the background?

    Hi Sickof --
    Apple has never had anything to do with Genio.  It is sneakily installed with other apps you think would be helpful. It is very sickening, IMHO. 
    Here's a thread here -- It's long, I know, but it's got great information for you.

  • Why does Apple keep breaking the podcast app?

    Why does Apple keep breaking the podcast app?

    Here are my issues, maybe you can help... And yes "breaking" and "nightmare" are accurate descriptions of this update...
    1. Syncing is now impossible without WiFi or a Cellular connection. I've tried your guide in the other thread, but it didn't help.
    When I sync podcasts with iTunes, they DO NOT SHOW UP in the app unless I connect my iPhone 5S to WiFi or Cellular. As soon as I connect it to something, new episodes that I manually synced finally show up and can be played.
    2. Arranging the podcasts in any order is now pointless. Any sort of wireless connection will reset my order to a randomized one. It's not even "podcasts with the newest episodes on top", it's just random.
    3. Apple doesn't seem to allow any other podcast app to use the manual sync in iTunes. Am I wrong about that? I looked at countless paid apps and they all have their own cloud or system to only deliver episodes wirelessly...
    4. And that constant prompt about Cellular data access could drive anyone insane!
    I have never been this frustrated with an Apple product in my life...
