A huge amount of businesses missing from Apple maps

Hi all,
I like so many other people am posting up about the new Apple Maps that have been forced upon us. I've been aware of the major mistakes on the news, ie misplaced towns and railway stations but I think there is a bigger problem that isn't being as well addressed. That is the massive amount of small scale data that is missing all together. Over the last two hours I've been testing a few places I know very well and had some really shocking results. I live in Sale (Manchester) and we are lucky to have lots of nice restaurants and coffee shops. Out of the six long established coffee shops only one appears on Apple maps! Out of all the many restaurants (40+) six appear. Also many businesses that are on the map with the icons Apple have used are in completely the wrong place.
So I also did a search for pubs in a place called Longridge I know very well and out of the ten pubs one appears as a result but if you zoom in a further three can be seen using the icons. I have also noticed that the M60 doesn't have any junction numbers which made travelling to a venue on Saturday difficult, I ended up looking at Googlemaps through the safari browser but ofc it's now sluggish and difficult to use as its not integrated.
So if Apple maps perform as bad as this across the UK then it's no even close to being as reliable as I'd need it to be, I just don't feel I can trust what it's telling me and that's the worst situation to be in when you rely on a map to get around so much.
I am a huge fan of Apple products but am very aware they are not perfect, but even with the no flash support thing, you know there is a reason behind what they are trying to do. However for the first time in a long time I'm now wondering what the **** Apple are playing at. Surely they must know how bad this software is right? I would love to know how it all panned out, ie did Apple get pushed by Google or did they jump? I mean its just insane, Google Maps is already doing everything the customer want so why not carry on using them? Are Apple so stubborn that they would rather nobble every one of their loyal customers than hold hands with Google. I don't know, if anyone out there has any info on what actually happened here then please post up.
As far as I can see Apple Maps is nowhere near ready (although the 3D cities are very nice) and so I'm really hoping they realise this isn't on.
Cheers,
Lee

Nokia did the same mistake several years ago stop listening customers!
Now apple is doing the same thing.. if the management has any common sense they will give people to option downgrade (old users) and option to choose between map google and apple maps...
Challenge for apple maps....give your customer choice to choose between maps google and maps apple
then make apple maps so much better that people want volunterily to choose to apple maps?
Is this too much to ask?
Apple are you realizing how much corporate customers you are forcing to move to android phone because of this?
We want our maps google back!

Why is the macbook missing from Apple online store ?

Why is the Macbook missing from the Apple Online store ? Can someone let me know what's going on ?

Gone, *poof*.
I miss it and I think Apple should have kept it around as it's low key machine, great for kids and adults who didn't like a lot of flash.
Now the 13" MacBook Pro is considered the equivalent on a similar performance basis, however it has the bright silver rich looking case that draws thieves attention and really isn't a "Pro" machine at all with it's inferior low performing integrated graphics.
Heck most $500-$800 Windows laptops are just the same in performance and has a larger 15" screen.
If you need a anti-glare screen you have to opt for the 15" or 17" MacBook Pro and pay $50 more for the anti-glare, but it's worth it. The 13" doesn't have a anti-glare option, but we are petitioning Apple to include that option.
I think Apple considered the MacBook as a educational computer, thus replaced it for a line of iPads which make considerable more margins and provides less hardware benefits as all the hardware features, stand, keyboard etc. are separate purchases.

TS3992 My Icloud back up shows huge amount of data stored from back up yet listed as incomplete. Unable to access data. Is data lost

My ICloud backup shows a huge amount of data stored, yet it is listed as incomplete backup. I am unable to access the backed up data. Is the data lost?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Unfortunately, if an iCloud backup is incomplete you can't access any of the data in it. The only way to access anything in the backup is to restore the entire backup, which can't be done if it is incomplete.

Who to ask about the Caspian Sea missing from the map in Aperture 3

Hello,
I'm creating a travel / photo book and have noticed that there is no Caspian Sea that shows up on the map of the region where it should be.
Is there anyone to contact at Apple or a way to fix this as it's a major omission?
I'm using Aperture v. 3.2.3
Thanks!

I never noticed it is missing - you are right!
Use the feedback form from the main menu bar:
Aperture > Provide Aperture Feedback
My work-around, when features are missing on the maps in the book, is to paint them onto the map in Photoshop. I print the map page of the book to pdf (Print > PDF > Save to folder as jpeg (or tiff), then edit the map in Photoshop and insert the map into a photo box.

Is your home missing from iPhone maps? Add it!

maps.google.com and the iPhone maps use completely different backend databases. Hence what is in one is not always in the other. If your location is suddenly missing from the iPhone map app (like my home was), then Google says to report it to the map data vendor so they can map it out. maps.google.com is NavTek and mobile google is TeleAtlas. Google swapped out the backend DB about a month back, so a lot of previously-there areas disappeared when this happened.
http://mapfeedback.teleatlas.com
As an aside, the developer for the maps app that I spoke with thought that adding a map feedback form within the iPhone was a good idea, so maybe some future update will streamline this update-requesting interface.

I have a gmail account where all my work emails are forwarded when I'm out of the office, so I associated my @work email to @gmail on the Gmail website. Then I setup the @gmail account as IMAP on the iPhone, using the following:
+Name: Name+
+Address: @work address+
+_Incoming Mail Server_+
+Host Name: imap.gmail.com+
+UserName: @gmail address+
+Password: Password+
+_Outgoing Mail Server:_+
+Host Name: smtp.gmail.com+
+UserName: @gmail address+
+Password: Password+
When you send an e-mail it will appear as @work for recipients using web-based servers. The only problem is that if your recipient uses Outlook 2003 or 2007, they will see the from e-mail as "@gmail on behalf of @work".

Send to iPhone from Apple Maps not working!

Hi all,
I'm sure this question has been discussed many times here, but yet I'm posting it again because I didn't find an answer for the issue I'm facing.
I installed Mavericks yesterday and was testing the 'Send to iPhone' feature of the Apple Maps. Clicking the Share button did display my iPhone, and the maps did its animation of swooshing the screen to my iPhone. But, I didn't receive anything on my iPhone. No notifications. My iPhone is running iOS 7.0.3 and has iCloud enabled and everything else syncs between my iPhone and Mac (like Reminders, Calendars, Notes etc), but not Maps. I don't know why.. I predominantly use Google Maps on my iphone, but I thought this would be a cool feature with Apple Maps.. Oddly, I don't even see Apple Maps in the notification center.. I don't know why that is.. I have enabled Apple Maps within the location services, but this app couldn't be seen within the notification center (not even in the Do Not Include list of Notification center).
Can someone help me with this. Also, if you could let me know why I don't see Apple Maps in the notification center, that would be greatly helpful..
Thanks
Saandeep

FWIW: I've only tried it once and I saw nothing on the iPhone to indicate it had received anything, but when I went into the bookmarks area of Maps, the address I had sent was there. Is this how it's supposed to work -- or should there be a notification appear on-screen?

Help needed! GMail sent items missing from Apple Mail!

I need your help to solve a problem that I've identified recently in Apple Mail with a GMail account:
I have a POP-enabled GMail account in Mail, but also with IMAP functionality enabled through GMail's webmail settings (probably because I access it also from my iPad).
However, I notice that my local "Sent" mailbox in Mail only contains some 140 messages, even if a visit to GMail's webmail page shows me that I have at least 1200 "sent" messages.
I must note that my advanced mailbox settings in Mail do NOT allow for automatic deletion of sent items.
So my question is: how to make sure that I do not lose ANY sent items from GMail or any other account for that matter (i.e., that whatever is sent remains in the local "sent" mailbox in Mail)? Am I missing something?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Or am I saying something stupid?
No I don't think so. But from what you're saying, the only copies of sent messages on your computer will be what you are sending from the computer. The messages sent from the iPad or website are not stored on the computer. If it were all set as IMAP, they will be available on all devices.
Thanks a lot for your attentive reply - my only concern is that, when I activate IMAP, I won't be able anymore to have a steady copy of all items in my sent items folder on Apple Mail, nor to delete what I want at will.
Changing it to IMAP will make the all sent items available on the server to your computer, website, and other devices. They will always be there as long as you don't delete them from the server. The messages you manually delete will delete them from the server and all devices. If you want a local backup, then copy them to a local folder which will not remove them from the server or move them to a local folder which will delete them from the server.
Auto syncing does not in any way interfere with local folders on the Mac. The only IMAP folders you can sync are the inbox, sent, drafts, and junk. Inbox is the only mailbox that has to be synced (it's done automatically and you can't change it). I also sync the Sent and Trash. I don't sync (store messages on the server) the drafts or junk mailbox.
I don't understand what you mean by not being able to delete messages from the Inbox. I do it all the time. What happens when you delete it depends on your settings in gmail. Gmail has some peculiar settings like having a deleted items folder besides the Trash folder. The default is to delete from inbox, it goes to the deleted items folder. Delete it from there, and it goes to Trash. Delete it from trash to get rid of it. The fact is that the All Mail folder shows the message no matter what folder it in. I have mine set to move it straight to the trash when moved from the last visible IMAP folder. So, when I delete it from Mail's Inbox, it moves it to the trash just as local messages do.
If you plan to do your email from the computer only, then POP is fine. If you plan to use the website and iPad also, then IMAP is the way to go.
That way everything in mail is available no matter where you look at it. The only things you won't see is what you move to local folders.
Seems like you should go to gmail's website and read the help files to become more familiar with it. Also look at all the settings available (expecially the Labels Tab, Accounts tab, and Forwarding Tab. These settings will be what you will use mostly to customize how it works and flows with the Mac. If you're going to use IMAP, you need to understand what they do exactly and what you want them to do for you.
My sole objective: to keep ALL messages in Apple Mail (except those I expressly delete), as well as ALL messages in Google.
IMAP does exactly this for you already. By leaving it on the server, they are on the computer. In Mails preference settings in the Accounts / Advanced Tab, for IMAP accounts keep the setting for storing messages for offline viewing. That way Mail actually does store a copy locally until you delete it from the server. And that will be backed up with your computer backup.
And what you do delete from any device will duplicate it elsewhere.

TV Show Episodes on iTunes Missing from Apple TV

I've got Apple TV 2.0 and iTunes 7.6.1. Apple TV is set for automatic sync.
I bought six episodes of a TV show two days ago, but only the first two episodes appear in the list of shows. If I expand Apple TV in the devices list and look at TV Shows, it shows those first two episodes as being on the Apple TV.
Now, I've watched both episodes and I'd like to watch the 3rd, but I can't figure out how to get to it. Apple TV seems to be syncing fine with my Mac (it shows up as syncing every so often in iTunes). How can I view more episodes of this show?

Whether iTunes has synced all six episodes to your Apple TV or is planning on streaming them, all six episodes should appear on your TV. (When iTunes is running on your Mac, otherwise +only synced+ items appear on your Apple TV.) Do you have "Show only the synced items on my Apple TV" selected in iTunes, under the Summary tab?
Although I don't have a definitive answer, what I'd try is:
1) Quit and restart iTunes. Ensure that your Apple TV can see iTunes, perhaps by downloading some podcast to your Mac and verifying that you can see it on your Apple TV.
2) In iTunes, switch to Custom Sync and then go to the TV Shows tab and sync All Episodes of just that one show. Remember to press the Sync button.
3) Try restarting the Apple TV by holding both the Menu and Down arrow buttons for several seconds (six?).
4) Try playing the troublesome episodes in iTunes. Ensure that they're marked as Not New (right click the episodes and select "Mark as Not New" from the context menu).
Good luck!

HT200126 "TV Shows" icon missing from Apple TV Main Menu

It appears that the Apple TV software update 5.3 has removed the "TV Shows" icon from the main menu. Now, I no longer have AppleTV access to the TV shows I have purchased and I am unable to search/purchase other TV shows. Has anyone similar findings?
Note: Parental Controls are confirmed to have not hidden the "TV Shows" icon; in fact, the "TV Shows" icon does not appear in my Apple TV's Parental Controls settings.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There appears to be a large increase in this type of problem at this time, it seems that that there is a problem at Apple's end, but I couldn't at all be sure.
There are no issues being reported at Apple’s System Status page, but this status may yet be updated and it may be you need to try again a little later.
This isn't affecting me here in the UK, where exactly are you.
So far I have noted users in the following locations having similar problems:
USA
If this is a problem at Apple’s end, it rarely happens, however when it does only Apple can fix it. When this has occurred previously it has usually been resolved in a few hours or slightly more.

CD DVD print size is missing from Apple print menu options

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone has this same problem I'm trying to fix. Thanks for you input, is much appreciated.
When I bought my Canon Pixma MG 5350 that can print over blank printable CD or DVD, there was an option to choose the CD / DVD size. You could even choose to print 120 or 80 mm sizes. But after a while when I went back to print a DVD, those sizes were gone for good and there was only one size labeled something like "Disk tray G" (my system is not in English so it can be different for you).
I tried it although I didn't know how would this succeed if I had to print a small DVD and it failed. A portion of the DVD was not printed and left blank because the DVD position was moved away from the real tray size, so there was this portion not printed in the DVD but printed over the tray plastic!
I reseted the printer configuration, tried to update it and everything possible but CD / DVD sizes are just gone. I can print using the Canon software, however I'd like to use Apple printer dialog as I'd like to print from Photoshop, Illustrator, Pages etc. directly. My solution now is to export an image and print using the Canon software but this is not how it worked before.
I contacted Canon about this and they are "investigating" this. As the problem is in the generic print options in the System maybe this can be a driver problem or a change. It happens in both an iMac and a Macbook with OSX 10.9.4, everything is updated and working normally. Printer has the latest firmware and software and I reseted the print configuration in the Mac, also reseted the printer to factory defaults, etc.
Does this happen to anyone trying to print CD / DVD from the System print options? Thank you.

As far as I know, you can only print CD/DVD's on Canon's MG and MX series from Canon's Easy PhotoPrint or Image Garden applications. I've never seen a way to print from non-Canon applications. So I would say that what you are experiencing is specification and I would be interested to read if Canon came back to you with a solution.

HT2534 Verification missing from apple id email

I have received email after making i d infact 3. To 4 times but no link for verification was send what do i do now

If you are trying to change the iCloud ID ("email") on your phone, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

HT5429 Poor quality and missing Street View from Apple Maps - any alternative?

Is it just me, or are other appalled by the poor quality and loss of key functions in the new Maps app. Newbury has replaced Gillingham Dorset!! It also has no Street View which I use when visiting unfamiliar places. Apple appears to be prioritising its own interests above those of the customer by releasing something greatly inferior and of poor quality. Also interested to know if people value "3D Flypast" when living outside London over the much more useful Streetview?
Does anyone know where we can go to get Streetview back? I found I can still use Google Maps which has been a relief, but it doesn't have Streetview.

Thanks Diavonex. Have tried this, but it doesn't have Streetview which I find really useful when driving somewhere unfamiliar. I used to be able to enter the postcode and see what the place looked like. I could also look at difficult junctions and other landmarks.

Newgrp command missing from Apple's implementation of x11

Hi,
Please excuse me if I've sent this to the wrong forum. I'm new to the Apple discussion groups.
It seems as if Apple has left the newgrp command out of their x11 implementation (this is not specific to hardware and I've seen this in both Tiger & Leopard). I have several groups established on my Macbook Pro and need to changed between them in my shell. Can someone tell me how to do this?

I don't usually use X11, but I do use the terminal a lot, and I just checked -
newgrp
works in both X11 and terminal
Have you tried
man newgrp
??
