HEARST magazines

To access your subscription account:

1. From the Newsstand, launch the app by tapping the magazine cover, then tap "My Account" in the upper right corner. Or, if already browsing through an issue, tap anywhere on the screen to show the navigation bar at the bottom of the page, then tap "Store/Library" or "Home" to access "My Account."

2. If you are not already signed into the app, tap "Sign In" under Customer Support for Digital Subscribers, then enter your email address and password, and tap "Submit."

3. Tap "Manage Subscription."

If you experience difficulty accessing the app, make sure the same email address registered in the Hearst network was used to purchase your digital subscription, and not your Apple ID. This email address appears on your subscription activation email. However, if you typed your email address incorrectly while purchasing your digital subscription, your order confirmation and subscription activation emails, or any password reset attempts would be sent to the incorrect email address. In this case, email us a request to adjust your email address in our records, and we will send you a notification after the correction is made.

The Subscriptions & Orders Summary option on the Service Options menu lists your digital magazine subscriptions, expiration date and status for each. It also provides a quick glance at what subscriptions have expired or will soon expire and gives you the opportunity to conveniently renew online.

Account Settings provides details about your personal profile, such as your name and billing information, and gives you the opportunity to update such information.

You can update your credit card billing address easily by signing in to your subscription account through the app and tapping the "Billing Address" link from the Service Options menu.

Renewing your subscription is just a click away. Your renewal order will be added to the end of your current subscription.

We will contact you well in advance of your subscription expiration date by email so that you will not miss any future issues.

Renewal orders should be received at least 8 weeks prior to subscription expiration to ensure your issues will be delivered without an interruption in service.

Your issues will be accessible by signing in to your app with your registered email address and password on the Hearst network.

• You can reset a forgotten username or password through any of our network sites.
• Or, you can change your password from within the app by accessing your account, then selecting "Change Your Password."
• Or, from within the app by tapping "Forgot Password? on the account login page, in which case a new password will be sent to your account email address.

You may change your email address at any of the Hearst Digital Media Network sites by signing in and then editing your registered profile. Your profile is accessible by tapping "edit your profile" on the Welcome back! page, or by tapping your name at the top right corner of the screen. Then scroll down to the Private Information section, where you can update your email address.

Email is the quickest and most effective way for us to notify you with important announcements related to your subscription. You may receive reminders about your credit/debit card expiring soon, and notifications when we are unable to process your card for your subscription renewal. We will also send order confirmations of your new subscription purchases, and advance renewal notices.

You may cancel your subscription online. A refund will be issued for all the remaining issues that haven't been delivered at the time of the cancellation.

If you purchased your subscription via an agency, direct your refund request to the agent.

If you have a technical problem with your iPad app, review our Frequently Asked Questions below for help.

The apps consist of free libraries in which you can subscribe to our magazines, or buy and manage individual issues.

The installed apps will appear on the iPad Newsstand, a folder which provides easy access to app subscriptions, automatically updates them in the background when new issues are released, and includes a built-in store for purchasing subscriptions. Only purchased titles are displayed individually on the Newsstand virtual bookshelf.

When you purchase a subscription through the app, you will be able to download every issue, starting with the current one until your subscription ends. However, your subscription does not include access to previous issues made available before you subscribed.

To access issues in a digital subscription, first download the free app from the App Store (tap here for a list of links to our apps).

Purchased issues do not expire. They can be stored in the My Library section of the app. Archiving your issues allows you to download them again at any time without being charged.

The iPad edition is built specifically for the iPad on our proprietary platform. The other editions are built in the platform specific to their respective devices.

The level of enhancement or interactivity varies for each device platform, which may result in digital content distinctions. Some apps are a reproduction of the print edition, while others are enhanced with simple features such as animation, or richly optimized with multimedia and interactivity.

Below is a list of digital content across our apps by platform. A Replica is a carbon copy of the print edition, featuring the same layout, text, articles, photos, and advertisements. An Enhanced version includes redesigned pages, video and audio extras, rotating product views, active hyperlinks, and interactivity.

* Indicates additional limited interactivity.

From the Newsstand, tap and hold down the magazine app icon until it starts to shake. Tap the black "X" at the top left corner, and then tap "Delete" in the notification box. Return to the App Store and reinstall the magazine app. If you have already purchased issues, you can re-install them for free: tap "My Account," tap "Restore Magazines," then tap the "Restore" button. Then re-download previously purchased issues.

Restarting the app will typically resolve this problem. If not, delete and re-install the app. You will never have to pay again for something you have already purchased, as long as you are on the same account.

On reinstall, you will see a box asking if you wish to restore all purchases; press "Yes". If you miss that box, tap "Missing Issues" in the Library list to get back access to all previously purchased issues and subscriptions.

If you are running iOS5 or later, you can send us crash reports by doing this: Go to your iPad's Settings > General > About > Diagnostics & Usage > Automatically Send.

If you still experience problems with your app after following the previous steps, contact digitalapps@hearst.com for assistance.

Try archiving the issue and then re-downloading it (just tap and hold on the cover in the My Downloaded Issues section of the app, then tap the "Archive" button). If that doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall the app to your iPad. This often fixes small glitches, and you will not be charged again. Just tap the red "Missing Issues?" link located in My Downloaded Issues. Follow the prompts until your subscription or previously purchased issues are restored. Then download your issue again.

If the issues you have purchased are not listed in your Library, or have a red "Buy" button in the store instead of a green "Download" button, first make sure you are on the same account used when you purchased the subscription, which may be either your Apple ID account or Hearst Direct account. Then tap the red "Missing Issues?" link located in the My Library section of the app. Follow the prompts until your subscription or previously purchased issues are restored. If that does not work, let us know at digitalapps@hearst.com. Do not attempt to purchase the issue - you will be charged again! If you have recently upgraded or reinstalled your app, you will have to go through this process to remind the app that you are a subscriber.

Make sure you have a strong WiFi connection. The issues will not download over a 3G connection. If there are other devices currently on your WiFi connection, consider disabling them temporarily until the issues are downloaded. If possible, move your iPad closer to the router. This will ensure that the strongest possible connection is enabled. Check to see if there are any other downloads in progress on your iPad. If there are, wait until they have completed before downloading the issues.

No. Once you purchase the issue, you can store the issue in the My Downloaded Issues section of the app. If you decide to archive it, you can download it again at any time without being charged.

Please email us. We'll do our best to help.

A print subscription typically does not include free access to the digital edition. However, periodically, limited-time offers are promoted for print subscriptions including access to the digital edition for free or a low additional charge.

Yes. Issues remaining in your print subscription may be transferred to the Zinio digital version at no additional cost. To do so, log into your print subscription account to submit your transfer request (you can find links to the customer service sites here).

To access your digital issues in the iPad, download the Zinio App from the App Store. If you do not already have an account with Zinio, register by using the same email address associated with your print subscription account. For additional information, visit Zinio Support for the iPad.
