@fruitie: when your relative/ friend say you rich during you take your camera out...you should take out ipad...then they will be silent for a while. XD
*because now you are "richer" XD

Hahaha. Yes, with the lineups of my lenses, PSP, NDSL and now iPad. I guess they will really think I'm earning a fortune here. laugh.gif

By the way, I can't register an US iTunes account, I'm stuck at the payment page and there is no "None" selection for me. sad.gif

It works until the last stage whereby it mentions credit card is declined. doh.gif

Now what am I supposed to do when I can't even have an iTunes account?

I have the exact same problem as theirs: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?t...552101&tstart=0

Just too sad. Haiz. cry.gif I'm getting a bit frustrated over here.

Have you read this section 2. Set Up An iTunes Account. How? in this thread https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1563492?
*
Yes, read everything! It seems this problem is so popular over the world now! mad.gif
I really feel like throwing my iPad away.

Can I register a Malaysia account first? Anything in Malaysia store?

Yes, tried all the methods. Didn't work. I never used my Malaysia CC for US account because I know it won't work and clicked on none.

Even now, using CC with Malaysia iTunes account doesn't work as well.

OK, fine. I'm having a dummy set of iPad. WTF. My worst experience with a gadget.

I really don't know what I can effing do now.

I think iTunes is getting hammered hard or they are having issues. Just wait for a day or two as we can see, this is happening in iPhone subforum as well where users are not able to sign up etc.

I have no faith, look at these people: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?t...art=30&tstart=0
Been weeks already, no solution.

If I were to know this will happen, I'll not buy it in these few days.
I can't do anything. My MiFi is not ready, I can't connect to the Internet. No iBook, nothing.

I tried Malaysia and registered my CC also can't. On VISA and MasterCard, both shows same error.

I don't know what am I supposed to do now.

I guess the problem was I followed the steps and saw "None" for payment but just that it failed me and the message kept prompting in, no matter I used in iTunes US, Malaysia or Singapore.

I even tried registering using my credit card in iTunes Malaysia, it failed as well. I wish I have the screenshot for you guys. laugh.gif

Anyway, Arthur has helped me to register one and I'm now able to get my stuffs from Malaysia, at least. rclxms.gif


By the way, can you guys suggest to me to any app that can open MS Office's files, that is free? Any other suggested apps? biggrin.gif

Sifu Benny's word last time:
"Officework Suite : iPad comes without any. Cheapest is to purchase Quickoffice US$15 or you buy Apple default iWork package of Pages, Keynote, Numbers - each will cost you US9.99, meaning all 3 will cost you close to US$30. It comes with just a simple note app. I bought Quickoffice and Keynote"
laugh.gif  hope can help you.

laugh.gif Goodness gracious, I'm too poor for those. tongue.gif

Anyway, I might need someone's help to register the US iTunes account for me. Probably will need to bug Arthur again, too bad la I can't seem to register. sad.gif

With a uS iTunes account, you cannot use Msian credit card to purchase. You have to buy iTunes gift certificates to purchase any apps, music, or video from iTunes store USA. Some forumers here are selling such certificates. Free apps/music/video NO need , just click on it will do

Yes, understood and tried your method and others' as well. Used "None", and when I wanna proceed further it has an error message on top.
OMG. It is so difficult to explain to you guys. sweat.gif
I'll screenshot tonight if it is still persists. laugh.gif

Else, read this... I'm having the same problem as theirs: http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.j...tart=0&tstart=0

@fruitie:
1. In "Settings" -> App Store -> Sign Out.
2. In the App Store (app) -> Change location to "US" (bottom left) -> Download a free app -> Select "None" for payment" -> Create a new account -> Enter fake US-based details (location, etc, etc). Just trying to help. I hope it works.
I've got 3 iTunes accounts. One for US, one for Malaysia and another one for Malaysia with credit card attached.

The problem was... I didn't manage to register an account, how to "sign out" when I'm not signed in in the first place? sweat.gif
But anyway, will try again. biggrin.gif

@fruitie: I mean that if you have already signed in the App Store app with your MY iTunes account, you must log out of it.

Phew. Came back from LYP, bought an Aztech modem router, I do not need a small MiFi because I only need it when I'm in my room. At the office will use office WiFi, so just bought this at RM 108. thumbup.gif It needs to pair with my current modem, at least I won't feel such a waste to throw my modem away. laugh.gif

No issue on my version, it disappears but it still comes back with a touch. I use this post to try out. smile.gif

QUOTE(bidfordun @ Sep 30 2010, 07:33 AM)
really? but when using atomic web browser now, when i change to another tab, the youtube video can still run simultaneously.

I did try on Facebook embedded video (hot linked from Youtube), it won't work.
But if on Youtube site, it works.

By the way, guys this may sound stupid to you all but I'm a new user of iPad, how do we actually highlight a few sentences to cut/copy it? So far I found it's "Select All" but I only want a partial only, how? unsure.gif
