  • Why does the itunes store ask for passwords to different accounts?

    Sometimes when I sign on to buy something at the iTunes store it will ask me for a password to an old.mac account. Then in ther cases it will ask me for a more current account.
    And how do I combine all of the ourchaes from both these accounts into one?

    You can't currently combine accounts, nor transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it, so only that account will be able to authorise its content, re-download it, and/or download updates to its apps.

  • Why does the Apple store carry  iKlear cleaning solution in stores?

    I noticed that the manual with my MacBook Pro just recommends dampening the cloth with water in order to clean the screen. Then why does the Apple store and website promote iKlear cleaning solution for the screen (rhetorical question) ? Is this product safe or not for cleaning the screen? Thanks.

    They carry it because they're a store, and like any store, anything that boost the margins is great to have on the shelf. It's the same reason any store sells really expensive accessories.
    I've always used water as the manual recommends. But iKlear is safe and I'm not necessarily against it. It may be good for unusual or stubborn stains that water can't dissolve. But for everyday cleaning, the question is whether you would prefer to clean your screen for free, or by paying for an expensive chemical.
    I've never bought a screen protector for my iPhone either, and it's been totally fine.

    Why does my Ipad keep telling me that my security code is incorrect when i am trying to update the billing information?

    It might be because the billing address you provided doesn't exactly match your bank records.  It has to match your statement exactly.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646.

  • Why when I am trying to install a free game app does Apple need my credit card info?

    I am trying to install a free game app and it won't install without my credit card info.  Why?

    To verify that you are who you claim to be in the country where you claim to
    be so you can use that country's AppStore. Also because many free apps have in-app
    purchases.

  • Why does the iTunes Store (iTunes 11.2) keep asking for my Apple ID password on launch?

    iTunes 11.2, Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.3
    The iTunes Store keeps asking for Apple ID password on launch, and with every download, even when I am already logged in to the iTunes Store with my Apple ID. I am using iCloud, my iCloud account is set up on my iMac and I am using iCloud Keychain. My Apple ID password is stored in my Keychain. So why can't the iTunes Store remember me?

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
    Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
    Select
    Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • Why does the itunes store show the apps I have downloaded Free or the price instead of "downloaded"?

    I have encountered this problem since Christmas. When I open the itunes and want to search the apps I have downloaded, and it keeps showing these apps free or with a price instead of downloaded. However, I have not encountered this problem in my iphone. This problem makes me confused that whether I have downloaded the app if I do not check the "Purchased".
    Like the following one, even though I have downloaded the app, it shows the price to me instead of "downloaded".
    p.s I have logined in to my acct.

    Are you really running Mac OS 10.4.8?

    I hadn't used visited the iTunes store looking for books for many months.  When I went this afternoon I found it stupid, offensive and frustrating how hard it is to find books instead of audiobooks.  What am I doing wrong?  The main menu in the store doesn't even list books anymore.  Just audiobooks.  The only way I could get a link to a book download was by searching for the author.  That then gave me a choice of book or audiobooks.
    I see plenty of books (in the U.S. store).

  • I live in South Africa and would like to purchase the song - Shakara by Fela Kuti and its only available in the American store. Why is it not available in the South African or why does the American store prevent me from buying from it?

    Why can't i buy the song Shakara by Fela Kuti from the American store if its not available from the South African store? Why is it not being made available in South Africa? It does not make sense to me, especially from such a top company that is priding itself with improving accessibility.

    It's not Apple's choice, they can only sell content where the content providers grant them licenses to sell it, so if the record company hasn't granted Apple a license to sell that song in South Africa then Apple can't sell it there. You can try requesting that it be added, but it won't be able to happen without the record company's agreement : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    You can also only buy content from your own country's store, you won't be able to buy it from the US store unless you are in the US with a US billing address on your account.

  • Why does the iTunes store no longer sell any Pokémon anime TV programs or movies at all?

    All I saw was that there were two Pokémon anime movies available at the iTunes store:
    Pokémon: The First Movie
    Pokémon: The Movie 3
    But sadly, now they're gone, and then there is currently no longer any Pokémon anime TV programs or movies available at the iTunes Store at all. But just want to know all about the reason there isn't.

    Apple can only sell what they are granted licenses to sell - if the content providers haven't granted them, or have decided to remove their items from the store (which the occasionally do), then Apple can't sell them. You can try requesting that items be added to the store, but you might be better off contacting the providers (film studio, tv company) and asking them : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • HT201303 Why does the ITunes store lose my CCV. I have to re-enter it every 5 seconds. Article above was useless.

    Why does ITunes lose my CCV?I have to re-enter it every 5 seconds!

    I have the problem as well. It is NOT a locked account problem.
    The problem is new with the 11.0.3 update and may be related to Mountain Lion (I finally updated).
    If I quit iTunes, restart, and enter the password, it recognizes the password and continues. If I do the password reset routine (I have now created FIVE new passwords since the 11.0.3 update!), it accepts the new password. I suspect it's a poor coding practice inside iTunes, aggrevated by the address space randomisation added in Mountain Lion.

  • I am trying to install a free app but when I enter my apple ID in the itunes and apps in the settings, it says "this apple id has not been used in the itunes store". And it won't enter my apple id and I can't install the app What can I do about this?

    Why is my iphone does not accept my apple ID when entered in itunes and apps in settings?

    Is this a new Apple iD? If it is, and you have already set it up, then you have two options:
    1.     Temporarily put a Credit Card or Gift Card on the account to download the free app. If you put a credit card, then once you have downloaded the app, you should be able to go into your Account preferences and change the payment option to = None.
    2.     You can download the fee App, and then set up a new Apple ID.
