Why in Australia do we pay more for anything Apple releated? Eg.per song $2 something is a bit rich

Apple really looks after the USA would love to see it else where. Here in Australia one song is no where near the price of USA.

The content providers set the prices. And you need to take into account a country's taxes, in the US the prices that are listed in the store don't include the state's sales tax.

WHY ARE THE UK USERS PAYING MORE FOR THE CLOUD SERVICES????

WHY ARE THE UK USERS PAYING MORE FOR THE CLOUD SERVICES????
OR IS IT JUST LAZYINESS THAT YOU CHANGE THE DOLLAR SIGN FOR THE POUND?

it obviously doesn't, but then again some people or organisation only care about price when it comes to purchasing their laptops, and it is hard to justify making a special model for a selected few.
Sure everything can be done if there is a market for it, but Lenovo won't know how large the market is before hand, as such they are hedging a bet by not moving with the market (which Lenovo have done on many occasions). I guess the finanical return is not the worth the risk for Lenovo to keep the 4:3 or 16:10 screens.
But this debate has been going back and forth for a long time, so no point bringing it up again and again.

Why did I have to pay MORE for a smaller microwave that I bought due to exchanging a defective one?

I bought at Sharp 1.3CU microwave on January 18th, 2014, which went bad today. I took it back to the store for a exchange. Upon entering the store, carrying this microwave, I got to stand in line for about 3 minutes, holding this microwave. Understandable, if I wasn’t the only person in line. Three associates were at the desk, one was on the phone, one was a Geek Squad member, the third scribbling on a sheet of paper. At least two of them made eye contact with me while I stood in the rope line, all alone, holding onto a microwave. So, finally about 2-3 minutes later, an associate makes time for me. The exchange process went well, since the item was still under warranty. I was told that there was no inventory of the one I was returning, so I could get store credit to get a different one. I thought this was strange, the store credit, as she was able to print off a copy of my original receipt because I used my BB credit card for the purchase. In any case, I took my credit and went back to appliances. I found what I thought was the same exact model I just returned. Having worked in retail myself in the past, I knew that at times the computer isn’t always accurate to what’s on the shelf. A young man working in this area was super helpful and carried it up for me. I wish I got his name, because he was awesome. Now, for the best part. I got a new microwave, same brand, same color, same style, but .2CU smaller than the one I just returned…and HAD TO PAY MORE for this smaller microwave than I did for the larger one…so not only did my microwave crap out in less than 60 days, but I had to pay more for a smaller one…doesn’t make much sense…

Hello RyanJustice,
In my house, a microwave is a must have! I am a popcorn fiend, and I can’t imagine having to go without one for a long period of time. While we may not have had your exact model in stock, I’m glad to see we had a microwave that was quite similar to the one you originally purchased. I can see how a price difference might be confusing though, especially as the replacement was slightly smaller than you initially bought. I’m sorry for the frustration this has caused.
When units like yours fail under manufacturer’s warranty, we usually either send them out for service or exchange right in-store. If we exchange a unit, typically a refund via store credit would be issued up to the purchase price. From here, it may be redeemed towards the purchase of a new one. However, we can’t process a refund exceeding the original purchase price, and if the current model you chose was more expensive, additional payment would be required. This means that if your original microwave was on sale for less than the current price of the new one, you would be subject to paying the remaining balance.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Enjoy that new microwave!

Why does Adobe believe Australians should pay more for software?

Why does Adobe believe Australians should pay more for software?
For Photoshop and premier elements bundle in the USA price is USD $119.99
For Australia AUD $185.00 which at the current exchange rate of 1.067 is USD $173 or 44% more.
Thanks Adobe.

seeing its only a software download, then why should we have to pay $15 more for the same product? we already are charged extra for music now we're being slugged for software as well.... maybe an apple exec could give me a reason on this question...
This is a peer-to-peer forum. If you want a response from Apple, you would have to contact them directly with such a question. A better question might be what are the direct and indirect duties and fees (Goods and Services Tax, Import Tax/Tariff, sales taxes, etc.) assessed by the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service and/or local tax agencies and/or municipalities for intellectual properties imported electronically. There may be quite a few agencies wanting a piece of your pie.

Why do i have to pay more than once for my purchased album in itunes, when i download them again?

Probably because you purchased them again, instead of following the proper method for redownloading apps.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store ... - Support - Apple

It appears the 15" 2.2 ghz isn't worth spending $400 more for, but you get the 1GB Radeon 6750M that has four times the VRAM than the 15" 2.0Ghz model and about 167% more performance. High settings on all current games with over 50 fps.
If your not into 3D gaming or just light weight, then the 2.0 Ghz (last years performance) will suffice on low-medium settings at about 30 fps.
The 13" is rather poor as it has integrated graphics. 30 fps on only some games.
The high res screen is a excellent choice and the anti-glare is great for viewing just about anywhere.
No messy films to replace at $30-$40 a pop.
A lot of people bring the glossy screens back once they hear about the anti-glare.

Here's my 17"
In my opinion the extra $400 for another 2-3 years of use out of the computer is worth it.
Quad cores are more than enough for most uses for most people for many years, it's just a slow card is going to make the machine feel slow in rendering graphics in the future.

HT1711 Why do I have to pay extra for something that I already bought? Shouldn't I be able to have access to my music even if its not through apple? This is ridiculous when I go to the store and buy a CD I'm not relegated to only playing it on one CD play

iTunes Plus is the name for the option in iTunes that allows customers to buy music at the iTunes Store that is free from digital rights management, or DRM.
Digital Rights Management, or DRM, is designed to prevent unauthorized sharing of files. This especially became a big concern for the music industry after the rise of Napster, Limewire, and Kazaa.
DRM, even the DRM used by Apple on iTunes Store content, prevented that. Apple's DRM allowed users to share files on only up to 5 computers.
According to TUAW, the new iTunes Plus songs have information embedded in them that identifies the user who bought and shared them by name.
This means that if you share your music and record companies want to track you down and sue for you copyright infringement, it's going to be easy.
This may help you understand why you would need iTunes Plus - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1711.
It may be that Android required that type of file to be able to let it sync. See here - http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html.

Hi;
The Free offering of FormsCentral provides users with a lot of useful features. There has to be a line somewhere for the subscription level service and Email Receipts and Notifications are part of that premium service.
This table shows features you have in the Free version and what the two paid subsctiptions add: https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en/features/compare-plans.html

As a CC Complete subscriber, you can use the desktop Acrobat app that comes with your subscription to convert office documents into PDF.
However, the subscription currently doesn't include the Acrobat Cloud Services that we offer from within our Reader application. We appreciate that this is confusing, and I appreciate hearing that you would like to use the service from your Android device.

I pay for Photoshop Touch on my phone why do I have to pay again for my tablet?

I pay for Photoshop Touch on my phone why do I have to pay again for my tablet?

The tablet version came out some months before the phone version, if I recall.
Not sure why the decision was made to make them two separate apps. I can say that they're practically the same app, just that one's UI is designed for tablets while the other is designed for phones. You can't use the tablet version in portrait orientation on a tablet. Likewise, you can't use the phone version in landscape orientation. This all may change. Autodesk's SketchBook tablet app could only work in one orientation (landscape) until a few versions later where it could finally change to either landscape or portrait.

SMS is exchanged over the same network as calls - no data involved.
MMS requires data.
iMessage requires the same as email - internet access via an available wi-fi network or via your carrier's cellular data network.
You can disable SMS/MMS altogther with your account by requesting this with AT&T. You can turn iMessage off unless your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network.

HT4914 I have about 70,000 songs, almost all of them are MP3s burned from CDs. Is there a way to increase the 25,000 song limit in iTunes Match, by paying more, for example?

I have about 70,000 songs, almost all of them are MP3s burned from CDs. Is there a way to increase the 25,000 song limit in iTunes Match, by paying more, for example?

Right now the limit is what it is, 25,000 tracks. Tracks purchased from the iTunes Store do not count against that number. Whether Apple has any plans to increase that limit none of us here, who are all just fellow users, will know. We'll have to wait and see.

Why aren't macbooks (13,3) more for sale ?

Why aren't macbooks 13,3 more for sale ?? They aren't in apple store any more..

They've been discontinued. It's now only MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. There's still some model 7,1 Mid 2010 MacBooks available in the Refurbished section of the Apple Store.

I need to know the multitude of reason why my iPhone 5s would prompt me for my Apple ID password. Please help.

I need to know the multitude of reason why my iPhone 5s would prompt me for my Apple ID password.
All I did was place my phone on the charger, I then walked away for 10-15mins and when I came back it was asking me to enter my Apple ID password.
I never gave my password out to anyone ever and hardly anyone knows my email address.
I haven't recently downloaded anything either and I only have one apple device which is my iPhone 5s.
I just want to know really if it could have been because someone was trying to log into my Apple ID?
Please help with multiple reasons why this could have happened. I just want to know the options. Thank you

My iPhone 5s did the same thing yesterday. I have iCloud backup turned on in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and that means it will automatically do a backup when the phone is plugged in, locked and connected to wi-fi. I had it charging and when I returned it was asking for the password and the prompt did identify that it was requesting it for the iCloud backup (something you may not have noticed if you didn't look closely).
It has never done that before and 2 iPads in my household have not yet done it. All are on iOS 7.1
I have found a report of the same issue by a user of the 7.1 beta and in that case it was happening every day. In my case I entered the password then went to the same area in Settings as above and used the "Backup Now" button to do a backup. I will see tonight when I charge again whether this is going to be an every day problem.
