Why does the retail store only carry 5400rpm drives in mbp 17?

Just wondering why the stores carry the mbp 17's but only with a 5400rpm drive? I realize I can order it and change the drive options, but if they carried more options IN store they would sell more (I think at least).
A 7200 rpm drive option @ 500gb in the store vs only online would have helped push me to buy in store today, and in general for something that is going to be high end and well over 2.5K base a 7200rpm drive doesn't seem to much to ask for as a base in store stocked item - just sayin'

Guess I will just be ordering online no biggie just seemed like a way for apple to make more $ to offer a bit more selection options especially on the higher end mbp (seems like a 7200 should be base starting hd in 2011 at least)...
Understandable. Also consider that the HD is very easy to swap; I strongly suspect they'd do it for you right on the spot in the store, but then again you'd have to buy the 7200 from them. I don't know that I've ever heard of anyone just being able to pay the difference in the store, let them swap the drives and keep the still-new 5400; I doubt they'd go for it, but wouldn't hurt to ask if it's important to you.

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.

Does the iTunes store not carry GLBT movies?????

I just bought appleTV and have been searching the movie section of the iTunes store - does the iTunes store not carry GLBT movies? If no, why not??? Is Apple suddenly censoring the store for anything gay? Well they should really delete a TON of good music too then!

Are you in the Store for your country, where your credit card is located? You cannot buy from stores in other countries.

Why does the App store say 'download' to OSX Mavericks when i have already downloaded the update, and restarted the computer? I can't find Mavericks icon on the dashboard or launchpad either! Help!

It sounds like you've installed Mavericks. You can confirm this by clicking on the Apple located at the top left of the screen and choosing "About This Mac" from the menu. You should see a window appear with the text "Version 10.9.1" near the middle.
If it says "Version 10.9.1", then you've installed Mavericks. It still says "Download" in the App Store because you can still download the operating system after installing it. This is useful if you want to download it for a friend, or create a USB boot drive.

Why Why does the voice dictation only work some applications

Why does the voice command on my iPhone only work in certain applications

In the end, it's up to the app's developer to add or not those features. And also why there is a ratings and review system for each submission to the App Store. If you think an app should include support for some specific iOS technology (such as Voiceover), let the developer know.
And of course, there's another filter. Apple wants all iPhone apps to have a uniform operations look and feel. So they publish a guide to iOS Human Interface Guidelines, and expect developers to follow. They give some leeway, but if an app grossly violates them, it does not make it into the store. Here's a link to the Guidelines: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual /MobileHIG/Introduction/Introduction.html

Why does the App Store updates finish with (NSURLErrorDomain error 1 1012.)

Why does the Mac App Store updates finish with (NSURLErrorDomain error 1 1012.) rather than ever finding any updates?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, 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 the test.

Why does the App Store update 10.6.8 apps to 10.7.4?

I recently had Pages and iPhoto updates listed on the App Store for my computer running 10.6.8. After updating both programs and launching them I received the message "You cant't use this version of the application Pages/iPhoto with this version of Mac OS X. You have Mac OS X 10.6.8. The application requires Mac OS X 10.7.4 or later.
I have a dual boot Mac Pro 2008 with Mountain Lion 10.8 on an ssd and Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my hard drive with all my data.
Does the App Store even check to see if the OS you are running is supported?
Any help would be appreciated.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
I think that you have confused the MAS with a dual boot system, so you may want to keep that in mind with future updates on your Snow Leo boot volume. The MAS can see apps on all partitions and connected drives. But as you can see from my screenshot, when it is a solo boot of Snow Leo, the MAS is not so easily fooled.

TS1368 Why does the app store sometimes fail to connect?

I often cannot connect to the app store with my new iPad, while I can at other times. All the support suggestions suggest that my WiFi connection is the problem. However all the other apps that need the WiFi connection, such as Safari, email and Dropbox work all the time. This seems to indicate that my connection is OK. Why is the app store app unable to connect reliably?

It will happen if you activate a new device in your iTunes account, such as a new iPod, or, from my experience, randomly. Apple stepped up security some months back to cut down on fraudulent purchases.

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 App Store not work in Genius with VoiceOver switched on

After I downloaded IOS 6 to my iPhone 4 there were a lot of things not working properly, the main things that were a problem was the App Store, to move anything with VoiceOver switched on it was touch-and then tap twice also to move the thing on the page you use three fingers swipe up or down left or right to move it. We now find that to move something in Charts you only need one finger touchon the left to move it.If Some body can come up with thee answer it is the People that work in the Accessability side of things at Apple. So if you know in Ireland why Apple cannot put in the info for Accessability for People who are Blind like me we cannot see what is going on we do not change anyof the settings...

Thank you very much for the reply. That certainly makes sense, as I am sure it is all the Time Machine backups I have that are at the root of the problem. How can I update all those older version Apps deeply embedded within my TM backups, or is the solution to unmount my 2TB drive that I use for TM?
I suppose if Apple could somehow direct the App Store to disregard all those other apps in TM, the problem would be resolved.

Why does the App Store asks for wrong password

Hi,
I'm travelling a lot between the U.S. and Europe, which causes that I have 2 Apple IDs.
So there are some apps I purchased with my US-Apple-ID, and some apps I purchased with my second apple ID.
If I wanted to update my apps from both accounts it first asked my for the password of my 1st Apple ID, then the one of my second.
This worked fine the past two years.
Now it only asks me for one of them, but still wants to update all of my apps. Finally it says that this app has not been purchased before, but I can purchase it know by tapping "ok". (or something like this). I already bought it. why does it ask for the wrong password of the wrong apple id, I didn't purchase it with?
Here are the steps I already tried:
1. restarting my device
2. Sign off and sign back in with my ID I purchased it with. -> Then tapping "Update All" OR just "Update" at a specific app stills asks me for the password of the wrong ID. (I did this with the appstore app and the settings app->AppStore)
3. sign in with the ID I purchased it with, then search for the specific app and hit "update" (where it usually says "buy", or "free" if not installed yet). It still asks me for the wrong apple id.
4. I'm not syncing my apps with iTunes anymore, just music and my photos. I don't want to sync my apps because I would have to reinstall all my apps again and loose all of it's data.
5. I still can buy new apps with both accounts and then it's still asking for the right ID, I want to purchase it with (the one I'm currently signed in).
6. Deleting the app, then sign in with the right ID, search for the ID and redownload the new version worked, but in this case all my app data is lost.
7. In App Purchases are NOT working, it asks for the right password, but then it's says that I have to buy the app again. ?!?
Do you have any idea, why this happend or why I'm unable to update my own apps?

There is a 15-minute window. After 15 minutes of inactivity, you will again be prompted for the password next time you try to purchase/download something.
