1st Apple product I have been disappointed in!

I am having similar problems to others that have posted and more 1st sync seemed to go OK, but then several "TV Shows" just vanished the next time I tried to watch them the next day. I synced again..we will see.
No way photos sync. It says I have "a problem" with my "computer". ? Macbook Pro. Yes all latest updates etc. Just won't work. I did get some on as a separate file outside of iPhoto, but can't get anything from iPhoto itself.
Also. I paired the remote, but every time you use remote to control Apple TV, it also runs Front row on the Macbook Pro. So I will be working on laptop and when I click on something on ATV, the laptop jumps around to music etc!?
I am so used to plug and go with Apple products, but thus far ...BLAH! Bummer.

you may have paired the remote to the appletv, but you didn't do anything with the macbook pro it seems. all that pairing does is tell that device to only respond to that remote, you didn't tell the macbook pro not to respond to it though.
you would need to turn off the IR port on the macbook pro as well if you don't want that responding to any remote command (or pair it with another apple remote).

  • I would like to know, does Apple Product Giveaways have a page for competitions on Facebook? A lot of People including myself have entered in these competitions and have won and iPhone and many other items. I am one of those people who won, it is true.

    Hi, My name is Sue Keeffe Ayton, I just want to know, does Apple Product Giveaways have a page on Facebook? They are running competition to win Apple Products. A lot of people seem to be winning Apple Products including myself. I saw that I have won a White Iphone 5s 32 GB, I would like to know if this is a scam. If someone goes on the facebook website and type in Apple Product Giveaways you will find this competition page. Please tell me if this page is for real.
    Please I need to know if this is for real.
    A lot of poeple including myself have entered these competitions and have won. I have tried to contact this page admin, but was unable to. I have even tried to contact Facebook team to find out, but was unsuccessful at this point in time.
    I am not sure if these people who are running these competitions are going to send these items out to the winners. I hope they do. If you enter a competition/s and you win, you would expect to receive your winning item/s.
    I never thought it was possible to win something on Facebook. When I saw my name pop up on the winners list in Apple Product Giveaways for March 2 2014 I was excited. I am one of 5 people who won an Apple product.
    Below you will see Apple Product Giveaway page on Facebook. On the right you will see the competition winners. I hope someone can help me find out the truth and if its fake, I will report this to Facebook to have this page shut down. A lot of people will be hurt, disappointed and very angry this has happened
    I hope you will show your support and help me solve this.
    If this is not the right site to report this or find out if this is a scam, please guide me to the correct area.
    Thank you for your attention.

    Apple does not give away its products.
    Unless you are the 1,000th person to show up at a new Store and Tim Cook is there and his assistant is filming you to be posted on their Home Page.
    That is yet another FaceBook SCAM.

  • Is any one tired of buying apple products to have them die or become obsolete in 1 to 3 years? I have 2 Ipod touch 5 nanos 1 pad out of all 3 are useable. Batteries die or you can't upgrade to use them with new apps. BIG WASTE OF MONEY.

    I have gone through so many apple products to have the battery go out in 1 year or become obsolete in 3 years. I don't believe new apps can't be made to work with older devices and batteries should last more than a year. At this point I feel it's like so much in our world to force us to buy new or use our 3 year old ipod touch as a glorified MP3 player. Some of us can't afford to replace our devices if your like me you expect to use Apple products for a long time that's why you purchase Apple. I bought a ipad so i wouldn't have to carry a laptop but if I want to download music or a book to my nano or ipod touch I can't and who want to take a walk carrying a ipad? Would it be so hard to make a cord to attach a nano to a pad so you can download stuff? What happened to making the consumer happy? Then you call to get answers and you get, sorry that's the way it is we can't help you. I have a box full of apple devices that aren't working or can't be upgraded, I just purchased a nano7 to replace my nano 4 ( the battery dead) this will be my last Apple product until they start standing behind there products like they use to. Far beyond not happy

    I have two old ipod classics ( 6 and 7 years old), an ipod nano, the original iphone, iphone 3gs, iphone 4, iphone 4s and an iphone 5.  All still work just fine.
    You may be the exception.

  • I have an old aol email that I want to use as my iCloud email but MyAppleID won't accept it because it is already in use by Apple. May have been for my ibook but not sure.

    I have an old AOL email that I want to use as my iCloud email but MyAppleID won't accept it because it is already in use by Apple. May have been for my ibook but not sure. Any way I can find out what I used it for in the past?

    Go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign into manage your apple id with any apple ids you have access to and see if you're account is either an alternate email address or a rescue address.  If it is, remove it.  Have family members or friends check theirs, if they have apple ids, just in case.
    If that fails...
    Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support
    You'll need to speak to someone in account security.  They'll have to go through a verification process with you, in order to reveal information.  If you fail that process, they will be able to tell you nothing.

  • I have a feeling my personal Apple Laptop computer activities may be  being monitored.  I feel my Apple Laptop may have been hacked into.  I noticed suspicious item in my wastebasket that I did not remove or know what it means ("roaming password..")

    Possible Hack into my personal Apple Laptop
    I have a feeling my Apple Laptop has been hacked into and is being monitored.  Today I noticed that an old HP printer that we removed from our wireless setup was still connected. In my attempt to remove the old one I noticed that as I was trying to do so it seemed my actions were being shadowed and both of my printer icons (old and new printer) dissapeared. Anyway I looked in the wastebasket and noticed the following item which I had never noticed before: "roaming_password_for_1475_txt_webarchive" in the trash. As it looked suspicious I restored it onto my desktop to open it and research it and it had information on it saying, To remove the DOCOMO interTouch Cable turn on the wireless network conection on your computer....."  It had text giving my username and password for roaming - I could not copy or pirnt the information from my desktop, so I took a copy and video of it via my Apple cell phone.
    Possible Hack into my personal Apple Cell Phone:
    I have noticed that when I am on phone calls with certain people, my phone will emit a loud long beep.  I am involved with protecting jobs through a union, and am concerned that the county I work for may have had one of their IT people hack into my phone, etc...
    Can you please help me with this? PLEASE.

  • Telstra Air Signed up on the very 1st days but they have been unable to get me going.

    As the title suggests, I am still waiting on my escalated query, of which I have contacted Telstra  over since the 1st week of Air's introduction. All I have been told is that they get errors when they try to add me.  They have never called me and have always left it up to me to query what is going on. (which I might add is nothing). Very disappointed with Telstra over this escalated query of which the only answer I repeatadly get is that it is escalated.  DOH!!!!!!!No Air nor communication, very poor service, considering the time it is taking or not taking in between the techs coffee breaks. Been a long term Telstra customer and burnt like they just dont care. 

     I hear your frustration.  Here's my journey so far: I've been a Telstra Cable Bigpond customer for a couple of years now.Heard about Telstra Air, and discovered the cable modem I had (CG3100) was not compatible.So I paid the $216, ordered and received a new CG6300 which is Telstra Air compatible (Telstra Gateway Max).Connected it up, then signed up for the service about 3 weeks ago.Got the message saying it would take 2-5 business days to complete.Didn't hear anything, so called them back a week later.They advised it's still processing, and we'll let you know when it's complete.Gave them another 2 weeks, heard nothing, so called them back again on Saturday.They said the name of my service was "an old name", and they're getting some error trying to activate Telstra Air for customers on this old named service.So that's what I've been told – there's some issue at the back end which is preventing them from upgrading me.So I feel like I've been conned in to purchasing a new modem (CG6300), even though my old modem (CG3100) worked fine ... the only reason I purchased the new modem was for Telstra Air.  I've posted to other forums trying to find if anyone else had experienced the same and had a solution, but to no avail.  Was even hoping that Telstra's customer service would call me even once, but I've had to call for an update every time.  Even a call to say "we haven't fixed the problem, but we're still working on it and we haven't forgotten you" would go a long way. Very disappointed.

    My new iphone wont recognise my apple id . I have been to apple home page and updated my details, still not responding

    Try making a new Apple ID? I don't really understand what you mean.. Make a new apple ID, log in with that one and then when you are on your phone log out of it and THEN log in our old ID? If you still can't log in the old one then it's most probably a bug or something.. Anyway.. Good luck with your problem!!

  • Anybody else with a bent ipod 5? I've always loved Apple product but am very disappointed in this aluminum piece of china made crap. I'm sure it isn't covered and the response will be that we abused it. Anything for more money in the corporate pocket.

    Very disappointed in ipod touch 5. My son's bent and he didn't abuse it! I think apple needs to admit that they made a shoddy product and this is a material defect. Many people online have the same complaint.

    Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"? Other users have posted about their 5G being "bent".
    I have not heard of a resolution.

  • How do I view movies using apple tv that have been imported into iMovie?

    I am trying to view movies using a second generation AppleTV that I imported into my computer from my video camera using iMovie.  I tried importing them into iTunes after importing them with iMovie but it creates a second copy of the movie and I don't have room on my hard drive.  Can I view them on my Apple TV without importing them into iTunes?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iMovie is an editing application, you import raw footage, edit it, export it and if you don't have a lot of room trash the original files. It is not intended to be used for finished movies.
    Video footage for editing needs to be in a different format than it does for delivery, delivery formats (m4v etc) are highly compressed and take up considerabally less room than footage in an editing format.

  • Why can't i use the Apple ID I have been using after upgrading my Ipad Software?

    After upgrading to the highest OS, I'm being asked for my Apple ID - and I am using the ID I have always used for my Iphone, Ipad and Ipod, but it is teling me my Apple ID (email address) is already in use.  I only have one Apple account and ID and need to use my ipad.  How can I use the same ID?  Thanks.

    You have to create an Apple ID a specific way to use it without a credit card. The one you have created now, cannot be changed to not have a credit card. See this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534
