Does Apple have any plans for a similar app as Samsung S Drive?
Samsung recently released 'S-Drive' - an app for their Samsung Galaxy program which only allows certain features to be used when driving. I much prefer my Apple iPhone, but as my children grow up, this is much safer. Thoughts?

Ah, sorry fellas, and thanks for clarifying that for me.  I thought Apple would also have tech's who monitor / respond in these forums.  My bad.  Cheers though... and let's see what they (might) do.
Is there any way to encourage them / let them know of apps such as this and that it might be a good thing?

  • Does Apple have any plans for iOS7S for iPods?

    Now that all the current iPod touch owners are left hanging by iOS 7's memory requirement, does Jonathon Ivey have any plans to remove the iPhone code and release a smaller iOS 7S update for those millions who paid good money for a product that was made obsolete last month?

    Apple has not made any announcement. Based on past history, I expect there to be no more update for the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • Does Apple have any plan to add Persian support in iWork?

    Does Apple have any plan to add Persian writing support in iWork?
    like in the next updates?

    There is support, OSX has 3 input methods for Persian:
    Menu > System Preferences… > Language & Text > Input Sources > Persian/Persian - ISIRI 2901/Persian QWERTY
    but OSX has general problems with placing cursors in the right position in R to L languages.
    Mellel is currently the best solution for all the R to L languages.
    You just missed getting it in a MacUpdate Bundle.

  • Does apple have any explanations for why iCloud will not support iWeb & is there any viable solutions. iWeb is critical to my small business & we have all been trained via joint ventue on iWeb. Now it just goes away. Why?

    I appreciate your repsonse, but the irony is that Apple is still scheduling "One-to-One" & Joint Venture training on iWeb knowing that it all will end next June. ..
    Just to add this : iWeb -- the app itself -- is still supported,updated only months ago and as part of the ilife '11 DVDs still widely spread even though it is not sold on the AppStore it is official part of iLife. It runs in Lion and there is zero issues with the app. So a training makes sense, doesn't it ?.

  • My I pad 3 constantly loses my wi fi signal. Does apple have any plans to correct this or should I return it. This was not an issue at all with the original one.

    My new iPad 3 constantly loses the wi fi signal.  Does Apple have any plans to correct this issue or should I return it. I had no problem with my original I pad.  Both are in the exact same location in my house. I'm finding this very annoying and disappointing and am being forced to us my 4 g data plan 

    You may already have tried this, but before you completely give up, I'd check your home router software and also reset the router.  I haven't seen this particular issue arise on these forums with new iPad devices, so perhaps it has to do with outdated software or configuration on the router not playing well with the new device....

  • Does Apple have any event for Black Friday this year?

    I'm planning on buying a Macbook Pro Retina this holiday season. I'm wondering if Apple are gonna have any event for this Black Friday as they usually have.
    Thanks.

    Anyone here with any more information than what is already published in the general press is under non-disclosure agreement, and can't say.
    Best Buy has been pushing the phones BIG TIME.
    Buying AppleCare at the same time? Check B&H Photo for great bundles (closed Saturdays).

  • Does Apple have any plans on making an Iphone app to control Logic Pro like Motu has done for Digital performer? They make it for free which is a HUGE plus!

    i was wondering if Apple has any intentions on making an Iphone/Ipad app to remotely control Logic like Motu has for Digital performer. Motu has it available for free which is a huge plus but Id be willing to pay for one if Apple came out with one of its own.Im a little mift as to why it hasnt been done, Im sure they are capable of it.

    I've been using Touch.OSC, from Hexler. It is not created by Apple but works like a charm on Logic. I've been using the app for over a year both on my iPad and my iPhone. Check the app on Hexler @ http://hexler.net/software/touchosc. Another app (which I still haven't tried) is lpTouch. You can get more info at http://www.delora.com/delora_products/lptouch/lptouch.html. Both are sold at App Store for $ 4.99. Yeah, it would be cool if Apple included its own iPad/iPhone app to control LogicPro on a future update... but for the stick price of the apps I've mentioned you might have a good 'bang for the buck".

  • Does Apple have any plan to allow to record phone call?

    I have used my iphone 4 for almost 4 years, and I really love iOS because of it's strong function.
    But my next cell phone may be the NEXUS, because I really need to a function of recording my phone call.
    Why does Apple don't allow recording calls? Is there any plan to allow it?

    I think illegal problem is not a good pretext for this matter.
    Let's think about how Google deal with this matter.
    There are too many people who are using iphone in the world, and there are various law system.
    I am a Korean, and it's legal to recording direct phone calls in Korea.
    Moreover sometimes recording files would be the best evidence in the court.
    I really want this function.

  • Does Apple have any planes to fix skip count on the itouch?

    When I skip a song on my itouch and sync it later, the songs I skipped don't show as being skipped. This makes almost all of my smart playlist useless! I used to buy songs every Tuesday until i noticed my Itouch was playing songs i was tired of and had skipped many times. I hope it gets fixed soon.

    NO, I'm not talking about the play count. The play count works fine. I use a smart playlist that says don't play songs i have skipped in the last year. When I skip a song on my itouch then sync the itouch to my itunes playlist no songs show that they have been skipped. If i skip a song in itunes it shows that it has been skipped. I've tried skipping songs on my itouch from 1sec to 45 sec and not once does it show that a song has been skipped.
    This feature has worked for years, but stoped sometime last year and hasn't worked on any of the 3 ipods that I currently own. It must be an software issue. I have seen others complain about it, but no response from Apple about it.

  • Does Apple have any programs for Disabled Americans?

    I am a Disabled American and due to a very limited income I have been unable to afford a computer since losing my ability to work. Is anyone aware of whether Apple participates in altruistic or philanthropic programs whereby someone like myself may be eligible for an Apple computer that I am otherwise unable to afford?  I've always been an Apple and Mac user and supporter but at this phase of my life it's as though I can enthusiastically watch from the sidelines but I feel like I can't play in the game, so to speak. If a program exists which may provide refurbished or otherwise unused products to others like myself, there is a very real possibility that with access to a computer I could even rejoin my former colleagues in the workplace. This sounds looney, but it would be a joy to feel viable enough to begin paying taxes again!  My country has faithfully looked after me; I'd like the opportunity to give back now.
    Any information available will be very appreciated!  Thanks to all...
    T

    Your best bet would be to work through local philanthropic or servic organizations. Groups like Rotary, I believe often do such things. Also, you might try asking around at support groups for your particular disability. If you are working with a hospital or government social worker, they may also know of programs.

  • Does Apple have any limitations for downgrading process on Macs?

    I want to know whether I can downgrade my Late 2013 MacBook Pro with OS X Yosemite to Mavericks or earlier. Do you guys know anything about it?

    I wrote this a few minutes ago, but regarding slowdowns.
    What kind of extensions are you running under Safari?
    Do you have other processes going on in addition to Safari?
    Also, Safari is not the only browser in town.
    Have you tried some other browsers as a comparison?

    There are also Opera and iCab.

  • Does Apple have any future plans to add the 8x DL SuperDrive to the 15.4"?

    Just as the thread reads: Does Apple have any future plans to add the 8x SuperDrive (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) to the 15.4" MacBook Pro? I'm very interested in this unit for college, but I need to have DL burning capabilities.
    Thanks!
    Randy
      Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Actually it's not a question of when Apple feel like it.
    The old Powerbook was 1.1 inches and had an 8x drive. The drive from the PB was too tall for the MBP. The 17 does not have the problem as it uses a "wider" drive, one too wide for the 15
    So until someone manufactures an 8 speed drive as thin as the 4x drive Apple can't offer it.
    I hope that helps somewhat - it may be an idea to look at what the major drive manufacturers are coming out with. Also the timings for Blue Ray and DVD HD may mean that Apple decide to skip going back to 8x drives anyway - of course that depends on the size of those drives and Apples MBP form factor staying the same.
    Totally agree with what Rachel said also.
    Best of luck.

  • Does Apple have any good way of managing iPhones for business?

    I finally broke down and allowed iPhones into our company when Apple introduced the ability to provision phones like phones (e.g. don't have to teather them to a computer to set up).  This and the "business" management tools opened the door, so we got about 30 of them.
    WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE!!!!
    Apple is now going backward.  When a phone comes into our shop, we have to load up iTunes and get the phone to sync before we can do simple things like wipe the phone or troubleshoot "why did my bluetooth quit working".  All of their "enterprise focus" seems to be around security and app control, with nothing I've seen for the day-to-day keeping things running.  (Not saying app control and secuirty are unimportant, just not enough).
    Does Apple have any good business management tools that I'm missing?  I know about MDM, but too much setup for a relatively small number of phones.  Besides, my understanding is the MDM only does app management / security policy.  Right now we use Apple's stand-alone configurator.  Fine for pushing policy and apps, but useless for troubleshooting and day-to-day management (like resetting a phone back to factory configs).
    Also, is my carrior correct that Apple will not allow them to replace phones that have gone bad under warranty?  They told me for the iPhones we have to physically take them to an Apple store for troubleshooting / replacement even after 100% identifying the issue!  That is an hour (at least) wasted to send one of my folks to the store.  I know we don't just have a bad carrior, becaue they happily send out replacement on other brands after troubleshooting over the phone.
    I actually do like the overall look/feel of the iPhones.  But unless Apple becomes much more corporate-friendly, I can only recommend that companies refuse to purchase any iDevice.  BYOD, sure...but when you buy tens or hundreds of phones stick to Android, Blackberry, or even (sorry) Microsoft based devices.

    Does not seem to work that way for us.  We plug the phone in, and the first thing iTunes does is say the phone needs to be "authorized for this computer".  It also states that the phone can only be authorized for x computers.
    It then goes through it's jig while we wait, and finally comes up with the phone.  Only then can we try to wipe / update the phone.  We do stop the sync process, that automatically starts wanting to run.  Maybe has to do with a version difference between what you use and what we use.  I did notice that an older version of iTunes seemed a bit friendlier, but would not support our iPads.
    However, when we were troubleshooting the bug where wireless / bluetooth quits working it was quite a bit more difficult than this for a phone a user handed us.  Troubleshooting steps required that the phone be "restored" in iTunes.  However, iTunes insisted on our providing a password that neither we nor the user knew.  Maybe just learning curve, but it took about an hour before we were able to get that phone to a point where we could reset it.
    Here is a sincere question for you, since you say you support a fleet of phones.  Do you really NOT get annoyed when your tech has to take a iPhone to a computer with iTunes, plug it in, and work from there whenever there is a user issue that needs to have the phone wiped back to factory standard?  This compared to being able to punch a few buttons on a different phone, right there in the users office, then hand it back to the user and say "your are fixed".
    My only assumptions are that IT staff want to solve issues as quickly and efficiently as possible.  Requireing a tech to deal with iTunes for simple procedures is not, IMHO, "as quick and efficient as possible".

  • Do Apple have any plans to launch anything to convert a wifi only ipad2 to 3g?

    I'm wondering if I made the wrong decision in buying the wifi only ipad 2...
    Does anyone know if Apple have any plans to launch anything to convert the wifi only ipad2 to 3g?
    If not, is it possible to part exchange in order to upgrade anywhere in the UK?

    As others have said you can get either a Mifi from 3 mobile or a similar Novatel Wireless device from Orange
    These devices use a 3G SIm card .
    They connect to the 3G , GPRS or Edge mobile network convert the mobile signal to broadcast a secure WIFI signal just about anywhere.
    You can connect your iPad and upto 5 other Wifi devices simulataniously.Your Laptop perhaps !
