TS2755 When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy. I'll never buy another if I can text using SMS or MMS

When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy if you like texting family and friends. I'll never buy another one if I can't text using SMS or MMS.  Is there any hope for a patch or new operating system to fix this issue, or an app to use with iPad Air

  • I just bought a Macbook Air and a usb super dive.  How do I install MS Office 2003 on it?  It won't launch the install when I load the disk in the superdrive.

    A 2003 MS office sounds like a Windows version.  A 2004 MS Office that was Mac compatible can not be run natively on a new MBA since the Lions do not run PPC applications.  You will have to get a newer edition of MS Office that is compatible with your new MBA.

    Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.

  • Will apple ever make a rugged phone

    I want apple to make a phone that can withstand daily beatings, drops, and bangs.  I want a phone that is waterproof, dirt and dust proof, and drop proof. The phones now are fragile and break very easily

    No, no phone manufacturer can realistically make a phone that can be protected from users functioning without brain cells. The best you can do is buy a well designed case such as Otter box.
    As for the iPhone being "fragile and break very easily", I would have to disagree. I have two that are over two years old. In fine condition without being treated with any exceptional care. If you are breaking your phones, I'd suggest you look at your own behavior.

  • Is there a norwegian dictionary in pages? If not, will apple ever make one?

    Hi!
    Since I'm norwegian, I often write texts and articles in Norwegian on my Mac. I currently have pages, but it bothers me that it always corrects my texts to swedish or english. So my question is, is there a norwegian dictionary for pages that I haven't found yet, and if not, will there ever be?
    Sincerely, Lise.

    Not yet from Apple, and nobody in these forums can tell you whether Apple will ever add some feature you want.
    For Norwegian, try

  • TS2755 When will Apple have a fix for iMessages not sending in iOS 7?

    I saw the news that it was affecting a "fraction of a percent" of users. I know 2 people it is affecting, and it is now indirectly affecting me. So let's be real...it is affecting much more.
    The temporary fixes are indeed that, temporary. Most users have the issue come back in day or two.
    Even though the issue is not on my phone, I ahve had to turn off iMessages to communicate with my husband whose iMessages are not working. And now I find out that when I do that, other iPhone users cannot iMessage me. Where does it end, Apple? This company is really making my desire to switch to the Galaxy S4 almost palpable.

    I tried about most of the trouble shooting tips on the internet, I even did a clean install with ALL the apps,
    Update the iOS and even the still black or blue screen for 2-4 seconds between a app opening , all the apps are closed down like nothing runs in the background....
    I even cut most of my images to the Macbook and on DropBox or GoogleDrive...
    When I tried to chat online to Apple Care, after I inserted the serial number, it gave me a message that the device has been replaced, please contact Apple care.....
    It is like running in circles to get an answer....
    Speaking to an Apple guru on the phone is like " Oh just make an appointment and leave it here for repairs...."
    This is the only phone I run my business from...

  • Will apple ever update imovie software for the desktop

    In the Fall of 2010, Apple released iMovie 11' and since the release of the iPad, they seem to only be creating updates for iMovie on the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch!!!  I want to know if Apple is going to update it on OSX.

    The last update to iMovie '11 (to version 9.0.8 if I remember correctly) was in Sep 2012.  iMovie is in the App Store.
    Ninja'd, darn it!

  • I don't know the answers to my security questions, I always put in the 2 answers that make sense but this is the second time that Apple has made me give security questions and I'm very upset that I've had to complain twice now!

    It wouldn't bother me if this was the first time, but it's not. I don't know if I supplied an emergency email or not, if I did I have no idea what it would be. It might even be my dad's and talking to him about this would be a nightmare. The first time this happened I just sent an email explaining what was going on and then they made it so I didn't need to supply a security question to use my iPhone but now it's making me supply one for my iPod, even though it's older than my phone and I've never had to supply one before on that device. It'd be nice if I could have the security questions emailed to my actual email instead of some other bogus email that I have forgotten about. Sorry this isn't the most polite complaint, but I'm pretty frustrated and would like an answer that doesn't involve call apple. I think I have social anxiety because I'm not all that great talking to strangers, even if it's on the phone.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can get a clue to what it is, and potentially use it, by going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and clicking 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have, or don't want to use, your rescue email address (you won't be able to add/change it until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset (which will be by phone as they need to verify your id - we are fellow users here on these forums).
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add/change rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • WIll apple ever make it so you can delete all apps in multitasking without deleting one at a time?

    I think it's annoying when you have to delete a app at a time in the multiask bar. It would be good if they made it so there is a button saying delete all apps in mutlitasking bar. It would make me and probably many other apple users happy. It would save a lot time.

    With some notable exceptions like audio apps that actually run in the background, most apps on the task bar are not actually running.  They are not actually doing anything, just sitting there in a suspended state until the next time you execute them by bringing them up on the screen.  There really is no need nor reason to be constantly clearing them away.

  • Will apple ever make a professional video editing tool for ipad?

    Like final cut after effects ect.

    Well, all said above probably are true. It would serve us all, including Apple and Apple consumers like yourself and myself, it would be wise to submit a feedback for enhancement request to include this feature you mentioned.
    So, it would be wise to submit feedback for any kind of consideration such as enhancement request, feature or something, or if any issue or recommendation, all you have to do is submit a feedback. Usually that there is a specific feedbank link provided on Apple product somewhere on Apple website. I am pretty certain that Professional apps have specific web page just for feedback purpose.
    I would believe and think that Apple would be very happy to hear your feedback, the more, the better.
    Cheers!

  • When will Apple support a sync feature for itunes and iphone?

    Anyone know when Apple will support a sync feature for iTunes 11.1.1 and iOS 7.0.2? Its been a few weeks since iOS 7 was released and I still can't sync between my phone and computer.
    I'm curious if the lack of communication means they aren't interested in bringing this function back.

    Not sure what the sync problem is, but see Restore podcasts deleted by iTunes 11.1... for some advice on that issue.

  • When will apple have a handsfree app for texting and driiving

    Wish they will hurry up

    Apple is not here. Under the TOS of the forum, we can speculate on future Apple plans. Newer vehicles have Bluetooth connections that will allow for handsfree texting, but the vehicles have to be compatable with the iPhone and the Bluetooth protocol.
