Newstand Magazine Subscription....

All,

Fairly new to Apple's marketplace but have been in the personal computer realm for 35 years.

I recently subscribed to a Magazine on ITunes App/ Newsstand using a new to me IPAD (3rd Generation).

The magazine is Nuts and Volts Magazine. Bought a Full Year Subscription to try out a paperless approach to magazines.

I would like to view the publication on my IPad (8.1.2) and if possible a PC ( Win 7 with iTunes installed) which the IPAD is commonly connected.

Is this possible and if so, what are the steps?

Thanks so much,

Chris

iPad, iOS 8.1.2

Good afternoon Chris and welcome to the world of Apple,

The magazine subscription your purchased functions within Apple's Newsstand application, which requires an iOS device such as your iPad to function. If you have questions about how to use newsstand this article may help -

Use Newsstand on your iOS device - Apple Support

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Best,

Brett,

Thanks for the reply and the link...

Anyways on this situation I sent a email to the support@gtxcel.com who are the makers of the application which hosts the Nuts and Volts magazine. This application works on Apple and Android products..Still waiting if its possible on my PC.

They were nice enough to talk to the subscription service and converted my ITunes Subscription to a Digital Subscription which allowed me now to view my magazines on both my IPAD and Android.

I have also asked the best approach on how to renew in a year the publication...(Thru ITunes or through the digital subscription process from the publication).

I will post my findings but for now I can view my magazine on IOS and Android Platforms.

Thanks,

Chris

All,

After jumping some hoops and asking questions (series of emails) I was able to get all my devices able to access the Nuts and Volts magazine.

Basically Nuts and Volts has a Digital Edition outside of the Mobile Device Edition. They upgraded my account as a courtesy.

The Digital Edition will work on all devices including the PC through a Web Browser. So Going forward the digital edition will be my easiest choice (renewals).

So in short, what was learned, was to see first the available editions.

Thanks

Chris
