Airdrop the worst thing of apple

I have an ipad air, iphone 5s, apple tv and I think that I have to buy a Mac mini, but what is my surprise when I buy it,  I can't connect by airdrop my devices with my mac mini !!! I know everybody have problem with airdrop between devices but if I buy a mac computer for better connectivity, whats up? Is the same or better windows for that??  crazy..

Take a look at Apple's web site regarding OS X Yosemite and iOS 8 both coming later this year. You'll be able to use AirDrop on your iOS devices and Macs running these upgrades.

    forgot my apple ID , and need a hint on my associated email so i can sent a reset password , and the worst thing in apple ID forgot password page that if you typed any apple id even if its wrong it gives you that email has been sent !! how come !!

    If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID.  Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
    If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
    Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

    Back up your iPhone and restore from backup. If that's does not help, restore your iPhone as new (not from backup).

  • IOS6 is the worst thing that can happen to an Iphone4S

    My iphone 4s was working perfectly fine until I updated to IOS6
    - the phone heats up even when im not using it (to an extent that I cant leave it in my pocket)
    -every application available crashes
    -wifi disconnects every 5 seconds
    -as soon as i recive a phone call it just locks on its own, i have to put in my security lock code to end a conversation
    My question is,Is this a strategy Apple is using to force people to buy the Iphone 5? IOS6 is the worst thing that could ever happen to an iphone.
    APPLE please fix this, my phone is just useless. Cant send an email or a message without the phone crashing!

  • I dropped my phone down the toilet then turned it off and left it in rice over night now it's saying battery dead and needs to be charged but I've read charing it is the worst thing to do, help please?

    I dropped my phone down the toilet then turned it off and left it in rice over night now it's saying battery dead and needs to be charged but I've read charing it is the worst thing to do, help please?

    After taking a dip in my vest pocket in the washing machine for about 10 minutes, my nearly new 5S spent 5 days in rice and silica gel packets.   It definitely dried out, but there is damage to either the battery or the circuit board because it turns on, and I continuously get a blue screen and it reboots every five minutes for a half hour, and then miraculously, it stays on and works perfectly.  But I wound up having to fork over $700 for a new 6+. because I couldn't stand the rebooting any longer.   I had no insurance, but I do now, Apple insurance, not carrier ins.

  • Hands down the worst thing about iphone.

    You cant sync music from computer to computer..whoooooooo
    What were they thinking with this?? absolutely the worst thing ive ever heard of.......
    and
    Can we get a drive that we can dump stuff on..like a usb key??
    Apple?
    Anyone??
    mom??

    Just to clarify this last post, you can sync contacts
    and calendars on one computer (office pc in my case)
    and media - pictures, music, et al - from another
    computer (mac at home). It worked absolutely
    seamlessly in my case.
    How do you do this? I have my itunes on my G5 and my contacts/calendar on my MacBook Pro. I tried connecting my iphone to the G5 - itunes doesn't notice it. Any advice?

  • Bug Report iOS 7 iTunes. Since it is repeatable on 3 iPhones and 4 iPads here, I'm sure others are experiencing the same thing. Apple, might want to take a peek at this. When a tv show or movie is deleted from Videos, the Videos app shuts down.

    Restarting videos works and looks like video is getting deleted.
    Just a bug report

    You might want to report that to Apple instead of to the other users in this forum.

  • The worst update in Apple history

    I just upgraded to the newest version of iTunes (11.0.1), and what a mess. I want the old version back with its simple and logical UX design.
    How do I get the older version back.
    The UX for the new iTunes is simply horrible. Did UX die with Steeve Jobs???

    It's far from the worst update in Apple history. That would be this one:
    http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2001/11/48149
    Nearly all the features of iTunes 10.7 are still present. If you really want to revert to an earlier version a Time Machine backup would be easiest.
    No backup? Read this post from Apple Support Communities contributor Limnos.

  • Does anyone remember the CrossGrade thing that Apple did a few years ago?

    Does anyone remember the CrossGrade thing that Apple did a few years ago? My understanding is that it brought academic versions of FCP and Studio up to retail versions. Now I'm trying to upgrade to Studio 2 and the guy at the store who initially agreed with me that this is what the program did and then he went in back of the store to do some research and when he came back says that crossgrade only filled out the disks in the set i.e. if you had FCP 4 Academic and did the CrossGrade you would have Studio 1 Academic... If I misunderstood the program I can admit it but I have been under this belief for so long... So the big question is... Does or did the CrossGrade program bring academic software up to retail/ upgradable versions???

    The crossgrade only exchanged Power PC versions of FCP/FCS for Universal Binary (Intel compatible) versions. The software on Retail and Academic versions is identical. The difference is in the license -you would need a completely new serial # to go from Academic to Retail.

  • What are the bad things about Apple Remote Desktop

    What are the bad things about Apple Remote Desktop? Need it for my assignment

    Is your assignment about managing a classroom full of Macs?
    Otherwise, Screen Sharing, or a VNC client/server, or TeameViewer.com, or LogMeIn.com might be better, and less expensive.
    ARD is intended for managing a classroom or office full of Macs. It is overkill for remotely accessing a remote Mac or two.

  • Upgrading to OS Lion is the worst thing I ever did

    Having used Macs for many years, been through all the upgrades, and never had any significant problems, the update from SL to Lion has been a disaster! My late 2008 Macbook Pro freezes on a regular basis and it's not associated with a particular activity which makes it even more annoying.
    It freezes within 5 minutes of waking up from sleep whatever browser I'm using. In fact the only thing that does work properly seems to be mail.
    The upgrade to 10.7.1 made no difference at all.
    I've used MacUpdate to get as much as I can updated, bought new software (Office 2004 not compatible), and my life is about waiting for the spinning beachball now!
    Symptoms:
    1. I get the kernal log messages 'IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero' on a regular basis which from what I read is associated with Flash player
    2. Desktop icons take a long time to load, and some just stay blank
    3. Machine is sluggish
    4. Force quit does not work
    5. The only way to resolve freezes is to switch off via the power button
    Am very fed up...is there anything I can do or should I just go back to SL?
    Any help or suggestions about where to look or how to diagnose my specific problems welcome!

    Reboot as usual (not in safe mode) if you haven't already done so. Launch the Terminal application, copy or drag -- do not type -- the line of text below into the window, and press return:
    kextstat -kl | awk ' !/apple/ { print $6 } '
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
    Next, do the same thing with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|com\.vix|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
    That's one line, not two. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
    Next, this command:
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
    Again, one line. Finally, one more:
    ls -1 /Library/{InputManagers,StartupItems}
    Remember, this is all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password.
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • The rubber things for Apple In-Ear Headphones (need new)

    Hey
    I lost the rubber thing on one of the ear pieces and I have small ears... apparently... because medium and large don't fit.
    Medium almost fit, but they are borderline uncomfortable.
    I use them every day to and from work
    (and when I travel, when I can't sleep, when I want to sleep - in new places or noisy places, when I read, when I run, to and from the gym and sometimes brushing my teeth)
    - I use them a lot, and they are pretty new so it really *****.
    Can I buy new ones? I live in Denmark, so preferably in that general area.

    apple don't set the warrenty time the laws of germany does
    the headphones have the same warrenty as an iphone or ipad or imac
    if the headset was included when you bought the iphone it's warrenty lenght follow that of the iphone

  • Has anyone else bought the Kin TwoM and found it the worst thing ever??

    I got the Kin TwoM and found it the worst cell phone I have had EVER.It never keeps its battery life but for a day and the screen is way too touchy and I can not send people photos or post them online I have yet to get the wi fi to work anymore it just stopped.I hate this cell and if I had the money I would buy different one right now but instead I am stuck with it.

    Maybe I should clearify this a bit the issue wasn't the device but more along the devices popularity with the customers, this information is basically posted on a number of forums but I dont see Verizon addressing this as a issue because the device works well for some but it simply wasn't for everyone..  If you search the forum you could find a number of reported reviews...

  • Is the worst thing about iphone it's ringtunes, and how do I fix???

    Hello there,
    Unfortunately I am now within hour 15, in my attempts to replace Apples purposefully terrible ringtones with new ones, and I've bought a few now... However none of them work.. they aren't even recognised on itunes as ringtones. I bouhgt on my phone and on my pc and have imported, exported, synched, and read all of the information, attempted to edit 30 seconds and all that stuff, except my library will not pass them to the ringtones section, nor does it have the bell thingy or will it let me creat ringtone... The whole itunes thing is glitchy and has hijacked my music collection...
    I am enfuriated by Apples attempt to force us into buying these awful things, as their selection is also dismal... Sod Apple, i'm off to windows... But before I do... how am I supposed to fix this thing... cos right now i'm considering sueing...

    Did you buy the song, +and then+ buy the ringtone? Buy a song with a bell symbol in the Store. Then, go to your Music library (click on Music at the top of the list in the left, or on the Purchased playlist), find the song, click the bell icon, select your fragment of song, then click Buy. Yes, you must pay twice, once for the song, again for the Ringtone. That's how purchased ringtones work. Then, they show up in the Ringtones tab in iTunes and can be synced to the phone and selected in the Sounds settings or for specific contacts.
    Or, make your own ringtones, for free.
    EDIT: Just noticed you're in the UK - the record labels have basically prevented Apple from selling ringtones outside the US. So, don't bother trying to buy them via the iTunes Store - just use the link I provided, or any of the many 3rd party apps that will do the job (consult Google as Tamara suggests).

  • The worst thing happened...

    I live in Canada, and am currently travelling in Israel for 6 months. I put my Bell phone contract on hold while I am abroad, but I still had my Iphone 4 with me for pictures and wifi. It was stolen last week at a bus station. It is currently on airplane mode, and not hooked up to any provider. I don't have any warranty besides the one that comes with the phone. Is there any way I can track my phone? If I buy any kind of insurance now will it cover the theft? Should i contact apple or my service provider? Any advice will be appreciated.

    Really not much you can do.  In airplane mode, there is no network connection to ping the iPhone or have it talk back to the iCloud server, so find my iPhone will not work (assuming it was set up BEFORE this).  Without a data connection there is no way to remotely do anything to it or even find it.
    Here in the USA, cell service providers do not offer any sort of tracking services, IMEI blacklisting or such things, but I have no idea about Canadian providers in general, nor Bell specifically, so you should ask them.  There is no point contacting Apple, as they have nothing to do with lost or stolen items.
    As far as insurance, to my knowledge, buying insurance to cover an event that has already happened is usually classified as fraud, so I cannot see any options along those lines.  However, you may already be covered under your home owners or rental or some other policy you have, so check those to see if they cover personal items while traveling.
    And of course, be sure to change passwords for sites/accounts you ever accessed from the phone.  Was it passcode locked at least?
    Sorry, but there just is not a whole lot that you can do other than account damage control.
