How to request an iTunes refund (Apps)

I copied this from another blog by Eddie Wong. Never knew about this myself.

The process for claiming a refund is easy, here are the steps:

  1. Launch iTunes
  2. Click on iTunes Store
  3. Login to your iTunes account, if you’re already logged in click on your email in the upper right corner of iTunes
  4. Click on “Purchase History”
  5. Select the app that you want a refund for
  6. Click on “Report a Problem”
  7. Fill out the form detailing the problem with the app purchase and why you want a refund
  8. Submit the problem report and wait for a response from Apple

The amount of time you have to wait varies, but it’s usually a pretty quick claims process.

Nice one Eddie.

Trip down Market St 1905

This is a pretty amazing bit of video. Shot in 1905, by Jack Kuttner one year before the horrific earthquake and fire of San Francisco. He then went on to shoot a 2nd video in 1906, showing the damage and wreckage of what was left and the rebuild.

Photography showreel

I made this with iMovie from Apple iLife ’09 because 1) I really wanted to use this song in something, and 2) I thought it would be quite nice to see all the good stuff on my photoblog in 3 mins.

iMovie was nice enough to only crash once and act weird twice. Thanks Apple. 

Music by The Alan Parsons Project, titled Mammagamma.
From the album Eye In The Sky: 25th Anniversary Edition (Remastered/Expanded).

Enjoy.

Edit this m0f0

Funny what you can do with a bit of editing. If only he was this honest, we could at least give him a bit of respect, albeit tiny.

This little website is pretty damn amazing. Hours of fun.

As a follow up to ‘Tone Matrix,’ Andre Michelle now offers audio tool, which combines multiple audio machines to simulate a full DJ set up. You can then output the songs to your hard drive!

Gmail push on iPhone

Setting up your iPhone is easy. Tap into your Settings app » Mail » Add account » MS Exchange. Then (copied from the instructions page):

• In the Email field, enter your full Google Account email address. If you use an @googlemail.com address, you may see an “Unable to verify certificate” warning when you proceed to the next step.

• Leave the Domain field blank.

• Enter your full Google Account email address as the Username.

• Enter your Google Account password as the Password.

• Tap Next at the top of your screen. (Choose Accept if the Unable to Verify Certificate dialog appears.)

• A new Server field will appear. Enter m.google.com.

• Press Next at the top of your screen again.

Done.

Works pretty well too.

Sir!

Peter-Cook-And-Dudley-Moo-002.jpg

Derek and Clive had some great moments, this is one of their funniest ones which had me in stitches earlier. I don’t think it’s “SFW”. Listen to it wherever at your own risk. But DO listen to it.

Quote from WikiConsidered highly offensive by many at the time, the sketches primarily took the form of bizarre, sometime drunken streams of consciousness led by Cook, with interjections from Moore.
