Why is Apple stopping downloads other than apps from them???????

I did not know that when I bought this computer I would be told what I can and cannot do with it, If you just rent them so you can control them say so. I feel like suing your *****. Why must any app I download be dis allowed or questioned by Apples app. gustapo???

You can install anything you want without any restrictions at all, once you actually take a moment to learn a bit about OS X
See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5290
Gatekeeper is an attempt to help people avoid malware but you can indeed override it completely and are free to install any code you wish to on your computer.

  • HT5035 Why, when trying to download a "free" app from iTunes after it say's, "this apple id hasn't been used with the iTunes store" does it keep asking for credit card info???

    This is so frustrating! I have an itunes store account, etc. I lost all my info when I had to "restore" my iphone.
    I wasn't able to do the "restore" until recently, gosh it was about 6mos or more ago when my iphone died...
    So, as I get older I am having memory problems and haven't been able to access my itunes account.
    Obviously when I did the "restore" on my iphone I lost all my info with it... So, wanting to use my iphone for
    music, games, etc. I had to create a new apple id, fine, but when I wanted to download a "free" app it says
    my apple id hasn't been used with itunes so it keeps asking for credit card info.
    I do not remember ever having to have a credit card before!
    I am so frustrated... First it was not being able to access my account then having to create a new one, fine!
    But now I can't download "free" content without credit card information!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! UGH!!!!!!!
    Please, can anyone help...?!?
    Sincerely,
    "Distressed"

    If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

  • Why can't i download a free app from another countries app store?

    I have an account with App store UAE and need to download the HBR app which is free but when i access the USA store it says my credit card is not applicable tothis store

    Largely due to licensing agreements, you can only buy from the iTunes Store in the country in which you reside.  To prove you reside there, Apple will only take credit cards issued from and billed to that country / address. 
    The developer may not have given permission for that particular app to be sold in your country by Apple.   They may have alternate agreements.

  • Why can't I download more than 50mb in iPhone ??

    Why can't I download more than 50mb in iPhone ??

    Deggie is correct. The carriers originally wanted it so people wouldnt be downloading large files on their networks and causing congestion. Also look at is from a carrier perspective for protecting costumers. People could also complain if they went over their data plan that they should have received a warning about downloading large files. Rather than argue about updating/downloading apps, they have the warning now.
    I am hoping down the road that carriers converse with Apple to lift those, we will see what happens. Rodgers has more influence on lifting that limit that normal costumers would.

    Try deleting the waiting app then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • HT1918 Why can I not download a free app??? It says I have a billing problem.. Not true

    Why can I not download a free app? It says I have a billing problem but that's not true.

    Hi friend,
    Probably in the past you tap for a update inside the application, that made you have a pending payment in your Apple account. Go to www.apple.com and check about pending payments. If you have, wait for around 30 days (starting to count from the day you asked for the paid update) then it will be canceled automaticaly.
    Hope it helps

  • 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...

  • I was trying to download a free app from the iTunes Store,and was asked to update my method of payment. I did ,and was denied. Why was I denied if the app is free?

    I Was downloading a free app from the iTunes Store ,and could not it said because no money in my method of payment .if it is free why do I need to have a method of payment?

    If you didn't setp your iTunes account, from the beginning, without a credit card, you'll have to either add a credit card to your account or redeem an iTunes gift card, regardless of whether the app is free or not.

    Hi i dont know why i couldnt able to purchase any apps from apple store or in itunes store using my debit card with which i used to buy before ?

    I don't know why but I suspect you are located in the Indian sub continent.   Debit cards appear to be a problem here and while many are accepted in other countries, India seems to be an exception.   Go to ...
