Yet another cross-country store purchase question...

Right, so http://store.apple.com/us/help/gifting says that you CAN send gifts to some specific "other countries" from the U.S. Store.
All the threads that I read on this forum regarding cross-border gifting just end with "it is not possible, sorry, too bad for you" etc. Yet the gifting page specifically states it is possible within the context of specific countries.
It also says you have to purchase within the specific country store. That makes sense, I want to gift an app to someone in Indonesia, so I should go into iTunes, switch to Indonesia store, and purchase the app, hence no cross-border BS on different stores.
The problem is that once I click on "purchase" "gifting an app" or whatever to try to buy the thing in the Indonesia iTunes store, it ask for Apple ID log-in. Which immediately kicks me out of the country store (in this case Indonesia) and back to the U.S. Store.
And nothing I can find in the U.S. Store that says anything about international gifting to those countries specified in that gifting advisory page.
So has anyone figured out how in blazes to gift to those countries stated in the "Gifting outside of the U.S." advisory? I'd like a step by step walkthrough on how to do this if anyone has a clue, because otherwise that advisory is sure as **** misleading, confusing and unhelpful.

The page you linked to refers to the online Apple Store, which sells Macs, Mac accessories, and Mac OS X software. It doesn't apply to the iTunes Store, which sells music, videos, books, and iOS software.

Can I purchase from another iTunes country store?

Hi -
Just to clarify, I'm located in Sweden and the swedish iTunes store are not that impressive (no movies, tv-series etc).
Is there no possibility for me to purchase movies or tv-series from ex US iTunes......?
-Bitte

Rich asked"
I'm confused. I live in the US. The US store does not sell what I want. The UK store does. I do not have a UK address. How do I purchase content from the UK store? I tried to set up a new account in the UK store but I have to live in the UK to do this. Why can't I purchase from any store i wish?
This has been covered here literally dozens of times, but once again: the content owners do not allow cross-border sales from any of the legal download stores. You must therefore have legal residence in the country of the iTunes Store you wish to use. So in order to buy from another country's iTunes Store, you must (as proof of residence) have either:
a) a credit card issued by a bank in that country with a billing address also in that country, or
b) a mailing address for your residence in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
This, again, is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice.

Yet another Logic Vs.Pro Tools question. Please help!!

Hi guys! I just arrive to the world of mac a few days ago, and I couldn't be happier. Now it's time to purchase new audio gear, and I am torn between Logic Studio/Apogee interface, or the Digi 003. I've been a Sonar user for the past couple of years, and before that I was on Cubase.
I love Sonar, but I'm sick of PC's(hence the switch). I need something with good compositional/midi tools, but I also need powerful audio editing. One thing I love about Sonar is the ability to use non-destructive editing in the arrange window. Can the new logic do this? Currently I am leaning towards logic...but I still haven't made a decision. I definitely need drum programming ability, and I'm not sure if Pro Tools le even has a drum map? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Taking just the key points above, Logic will definitely fit the bill better. Logic seems to be a better compositional tool, although PT can also be used for that. Both do SOME non-destructive editing in the arrange windows. Protools has no drum editor at all.
However, PT is still better at audio editing.
It would depend on how much audio editing you plan on doing vs midi/composition.
The above poster is certainly in the ballpark about the add-ons you have to buy with PT just to equal the tools that come with Logic. I would say you'll probably have to spend at least another $1000 on plugin instruments and utility tools (CD burning/mastering) above the cost of PTLE software. Assume you will need at least the Music Production Toolkit in addition to PTLE. You will also want Toast Titanium to burn CDs unless you get Logic w/Waveburner.
The 003 will definitely not sound as good as the Apogee.
I've used PTLE since 1999 and it's great for recording and editing audio, but nothing special for writing and nothing special for midi.

ITunes store purchase question

I just purchased a CD from the iTunes store and it is on my iPod, but when I synch it to my computer, it does not show up in my music list on the computer. Anyone know what the deal is?
I want to put it on my computer where I can burn a CD.
Thanks for your help.
Mike

If you manage your music manually ( which a lot of us do w/ the limited space on the touch ), you have to right click on the touch in the iTunes sidebar and use that method to transfer your newly purchased songs to your computer. Hope this helps.

Yet another 3G battery charge issue/question

All...
Lately my iPhone 3G is draining it's battery much quicker than it had previously. It will not last a full day. Even with no Safari, games, music, etc. Also, when I charge it, it gets hot, more than usual.
Not sure, but I think this all started when I let the battery completely drain. I partially charged then the battery completely drained again.
I've reset shut the phone off then back on with no improvement. I've had the phone for less than a year. Apple replaced my 1st 3G with this phone due to another issue.
I'm going to let the battery completely drain then will completely charge to see if that helps. Otherwise, any ideas?
Message was edited by: Greg Begay

I am having the same problem. It barely makes it through 12 hours now, when previously I was used to about 36 hours. It has only started doing it recently, but I'm not entirely sure what I've done to provoke it.
Have seen similar issues in other threads, with people suggesting restoring/updating etc. I am yet to try this so will give it a go, but not convinced it will help.

Yet Another "How to Delete Apps" question

I'm trying to delete some unused/unwanted apps from within the iTunes structure. Here's what I've done already:
Deleted directly from my iPad 2 by holding my finger on an app's icon, then tapping the "delete" icon in the uppoer left corner
Connect my iPad 2 to my Mac and to iTunes. Went from screen to screen hovering my pointer over the apps in question and clicked the "delete" icon in the upper left corner. Some apps asked if I wanted to keep them or trash them, which I answered "trash."
Turning our attention to the left sidebar in iTunes under the Apps tab, it's labeled "Sync Apps" and has a sort dropdown between the head and the list of apps. The unwanted apps still reside in thhis list though the checkbox to their left is unchecked. (see image below)
I have searched through the different discussion on this forum as well as others, with answers that pretty much mirror what I've done so far, with the exception that some people recommended using the "delete" key (which I assume is the same as the "backspace" key, however I've pressed both), which doesn't do anything.
Here is where I have come up against a stone wall.
How on earth do I get iTunes to delete those apps that I absolutely and positively don't want hanging around? I don't want them to suddenly appear on my iPad through some vagaries of the sync process and I don't want them showing up within iTunes.
My setup:
A 64GB WiFi iPad 2 running 4.3.5
A 2009 Mac Mini running Lion and iTunes 10.4 (build 80)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Tod

I feel like such a dipstick sometimes. I'll fret over a problem for hours, then post a question somewhere, then minutes later it seems that a lightbulb goes of over my head.
One thing I forgot to do was go to the Apps tab under the Library area of iTunes. <headsmack!>
Going there and viewing the app icons, I found that selecting an app and either right-clicking and selecting "delete", or simply hitting my "backspace" key cause it to disappear, both from the Apps panel in the Library, but also in the list of Apps next to my iPad screens.
Sorry for the intrusion.

Yet another string to date format question

I have searched the forums and cannot find the exact answer I am looking for so here goes.
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("M/d/y");
String strDate = "02/25/04";
Date myDate = sdf.parse(strDate);
gives me : Wed Feb 25 00:00:00 EST 2004
but I need the output of myDate to stay 02/25/04 in order to add the date object to a sql query.
strDate will come from request.getParameter variable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

>
This will only work if I return the value as a string,
which puts me back right where I started. I simply
cannot get the formatted value Wed Feb 25 00:00:00 EST
2004 to return as a Date object 02/25/04. Is this
possible? When using SQL, as stated above use a PreparedStatement.
Use the setDate/setTimestamp/setTime methods to put it into the database.
Use getDate/getTimestamp/getTime to get it out.
The 'Date' classes do NOT store anything as "02/25/04". They store milliseconds since the epoch in UMT (Universal Mean Time = Greenwich Mean Time.) That is all they store.
When you display a 'Date' instance it is converted to a display format. You can use SimpleDateFormat to create any display format that you want.

Another change-App-Store-language-question

Hi
App Store appears to set the language depending on the location set in the account. And the location seems to depend on having a valid credit card in that location.
Can the language of the App Store be set independently of the method of payment or of the location?
/p

This article explains how it is supposed to work: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2242
You do the changes on your computer and then sync your phone.
However, some Dutch store users report that the English version of their store is not available lately, so you might not have the results the article promises.

YET another double-clicking a jar question!

Hi all.
Sorry about this but I've been searching this forum for the last couple of hours and I still can't figure out why I can't double-click my jar file.
I've 'jarred' my application into a file named parserTTe.jar.
This jar includes a package named parser, wich includes the main class Parser, and several other subpackages.
In the manifest file (created by ant 1.5), there is an entry as follows:
Main-Class: parser.Parser
followed by a couple of blank lines.
The main method of Parser class demands as an argument the path to the file to parse.
Now, if I run the command line java -jar parserTTe.jar pathtosomefile, everything works smoothly.
As the parser does its job, I can watch its verbose flowing in the command line window.
If I double-click the jar file, though, nothing happens and I would expect that a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBounsException would be thrown, as it does when I simply run java parser.Parser.
If instead of double-clicking the jar, I run the command line parserTTe.jar pathtosomefile or just parserTTe.jar, still nothing happens, the command line just refreshes.
My WNT is set to recognize jar files as Executable Jar Files and the open action is set as follows:
C:\...\javaw.exe" -jar "%1".
I've tried changing this to java.exe instead of javaw.exe but then I get a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBounsException, either if I specify the path to the file to parse or not.
Currently I'm bypassing this problem using a parserTTe.bat file, wich works, of course, but I'm annoyed for not understanding what's wrong: why can't I run the jar file directly?
Thanks for your help!

And where do you expect that argument to come from if
you double-click to run the class? That's why you are
getting the array index exception, because your class
is being called with no parameters. You need to
redesign your class so that it prompts the user for
the file name; and since it's being run via javaw.exe,
it will have to use a GUI to prompt. A JFileChooser
would be a good choice.Please look closer to my description: I said I'd be expecting that exception to be thrown because of what you say but the problem is that it doesn't.
In fact, nothing happens when I double click it, or when I run it directly from the command line, passing along the needed argument or not.
Let us forget about the double-clicking that I won't use anyway.
What puzzles me is that I should be able to run that jar as if it was a bat file. I do it all the time with other apps I've built, although none of them requires a starting argument...
Like I explained, I thought it could be something related with the javaw.exe so I set WNT to open jar files with java.exe and not javaw.exe.
The double-clicking resulted in a DOS Prompt window that opened and closed before I could see what happened. So I thought: it's ok. It threw an exception because no argument was passed.
Then I tried to run the jar from the command line passing the argument but the exception was thrown again, though, wich I didn't understand why.
Basically, that's it.
Thanks anyway for your time.

Why does App store take me to a different country store, yet does not return me back

Why does App store take me to a different country store, yet does not return me back.
Im in u.s., was searching for app, was asked to change store, i did, tried downloading canadian app, was informed i had to purchase from u.s. store (is this true, even though it is a free download) then it left me there without instructions on how to return to u.s. store.
Now ipad is stuck in canadian store. How do i return to u.s. store?

You have to find an app that is only available in the US store.
If the problem is on an iPad, etc:
Go to a search engine (like google) on the iPad/iPhone Safari and type in abc app download. Then find find a link that says iTunes.apple.com/us/app/abc-player. Tap it, and it will access the App Store. Eventually, a box should pop up that asks you if you want to switch to the US store. Confirm that, and it should bring you back to the US store. You don't need to download the abc app.
If on a computer:
I haven't confirmed it yet, but I believe there is a flag icon at the bottom of the iTunes Store main page similar to the one at the bottom of this page that you can use to change your country.

HT4059 Have just purchased yet another i book that has mult an d how can i fix this

Have just purchased yet another i book that has multiple error message and blank pages how can I fix this

Try deleting the book from the bookshelf in your iBooks app and then re-download it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in it. If it re-downloads in the same state then use the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that book and use the 'Report a Problem' link.
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

HT1918 Is there a way to transfer iTunes Store purchases or an iTunes library from one user to another?

Is there a way to transfer iTunes Store purchases or an iTunes library from one user to another?
Historically, I have my own laptop and my 8 year old daughter has a laptop as well. I also have an iPad and iPhone. In the past, I have managed all devices with the same apple ID, and used my laptop as the main library, storing all music, apps, video, etc. I then just selectively copied things to the other authorized devices, so my daughter's laptop has a copy of her music under my apple ID. Now she has her own iPod touch, so I would live to move her music and apps to her own iTunes library with a name I create for her on her laptop and iPod.
Is this possible without having to repurchase all of her media?

Welcome to AD!
You can try these Apple directions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329
Or buy a 3rd-party ipod manager such as CopyTrans.

HT201272 i can't see my purchased apps in itunes on new ipad when I go into the itunes store. It shows nothing. I haven't changed my ID or country of purchase. It shows that I would have to rebuy them when I go into the store.

i can't see my purchased apps in itunes on new ipad mini. when I go into the itunes store. It shows nothing. I haven't changed my ID or country of purchase. It shows that I would have to rebuy them when I go into the store. Is there something in settings on Itunes I need to change? I do not have cloud.

Yes I am looking in the app store. When I look in Itunes on my computer and look at purchased apps it is there. And when I go on my other device and look at apps purchased all apps are there.
The new ipad doesn't show any apps purchased when I click on apps purchased and when I search the app store it doesn't show it is purchased. I am wondering if I am just missing something...need to turn something on in options or something. Never had this problem with previous ipad when I set it up.
