    You're never going to please everything, if you get a few decent downloads out of it it's a great little deal.

    Apple crack down a lot on their branding in the App Store, so you're guaranteed it's a legit application if it has the Apple logo on it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 239 ✭✭meemeep


    when I tried to download the free kylie EP (yuck) it says it can't find itunes on my pc and brings me to the itunes download page - any ideas? I have itunes 10.1 installed.

    thanks

    You don't get to choose what you get.

    In that case, "Christmas Advent Calendar 2010"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,581 ✭✭✭barryd09


    not a lot on that christmas advent app imo.alot of its rubbish,i did enjoy the drum kit for about 5 mins though :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,330 ✭✭✭✭Dodge


    AFAIK the Carphone warehouse one just points out free apps

    The '12 days' one gave away full price apps last year (ie Monopo;y was normally €3*)


    *figure plucked from my head.

    I think I got a couple of apps form it but the music wasn't my thing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,534 ✭✭✭✭guil


    labryinth was one of the free apps last year aswell


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,245 ✭✭✭Fat_Fingers


    last year apps were ok-ish but music was rubbish. Mind you , its free so you can't complain.
    Deleted songs after a day, played with apps for a few day and deleted them.
    Not complaining about quality , apps were not great for me, I think apps were very good for kids.

    Just tried to download it now and I am getting a message telling me it cannot find itunes on my pc. It is there, version 10.1. Any ideas why it wont let me go any further?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    hope it gets better, you'd have to give me a lot of money to buy, double it to listen to the script.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,814 ✭✭✭Nemanja91


    I already had the script so I downloaded the Cheryl Cole stuff and deleted them straight away, even though she is hot it is gay.

    yeh but i'm assuming they want to get whatever is on offer on the UK store, they can not do that however without a UK account so in fact i was helping more than you think...

    You will have to create a UK account, you can do this without needing a credit card.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

    That should work, Just make sure you change the store to the Country you want.

    Does anyone know if the US iTunes store are doing a 12 days of christmas?

    No you weren't.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 329 ✭✭samf


    When I click download for the father ted episode in the app it just brings me to itunes app with the videos tab open but no sign of father ted on the page. Any ideas?

    That doesn't work, still getting the Irish offer.

    That's because you have the Irish app. You can't have both together because they are (almost) exactly the same and iTunes and your iPhone assumes you have updated. Instead, use the website for one country and the app for the other. The UK website is:
    http://www.itunes12daysofchristmas.co.uk/
    Click on the links from there, and just make sure that it takes you to the UK iTunes store, otherwise you may end up paying for it!

    Thats what happening to me as well??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 329 ✭✭samf


    Yeah I think its cos we have the UK app so thats why it wont download, dont think we can get the father ted unless we go through the above process of setting up a UK account.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,534 ✭✭✭✭guil


    i just set up an account following the apple support guide and then went to http://www.itunes12daysofchristmas.co.uk/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 893 ✭✭✭rivalius13


    Duran Duran EP in both. If this was the 80's I'd be super psyched.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,175 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr Moon


    Oh dear, Duran Durfookinan :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,676 ✭✭✭dr gonzo


    Not that im complaining when i say this because i love this app, its great to have something small to look forward to over the next couple of days (Sad i know) but i think we can all admit it will be predominately sh1te pop singles and maybe a few ok games but what im really curious about is it says there will be a full movie included on the last day i presume. What does everyone think it will be? Like the music its probably not going to be anything amazing, any guesses?
