Any word on a fix for the Maps App?

Haven't wanted to update to new iOS because of maps... new update says nothing about fix for maps... have any of the initial Map App issues been resolved?

The big difference is you are not google customer, you are google asset, the advertiser are their customer. Do I have to tell you more how google do their business? Wake up, all these freebies are there for a reason.
I prefer Apple Maps anytime and it is getting better as we speak.
Oh my, there is little more silly than someone who accuses another of being naive and in doing so, reveal there own naivety.
You didn't know that Apple gathers as much usage data as Google? Really? How do you think they plan to make their maps better? Why do you think they want their own mapping app?
Mapping is huge business and Apple wants some of that action for themselves. That AND Jobs stating that he wanted to go thermo-nuclear on Google are the primary reasons why Google Maps was replaced by Apple Maps.
Of course Google Maps has a business model, of course they collect data on our usage. Who cares? For an amazing line of products that work 99% of the time for the entire world, it is a small price to pay. Besides, for the ultra paranoid, there are many ways to hide your true identity from Google. No so with the Apple phone and Apple apps!
Perhaps I should remind you of this:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-03/apple-must-face-lawsuit-over-iphone-dat a-collection-claims-1-.html
My primary point is that I am getting tired of Apple dictating what apps I can and cannot have! I am getting tired of Apple denying entry into the iTunes store, 3rd party apps that compete with their own. Even Google is stating that Apple may not allow Google Maps into the iDevice apps ecosystem.

Make no mistake, it is Apple that is the villain in this situation.
And this is no laughing matter for several reasons:
1) Apple stocks have been on a steady decline since the announcement of the iPhone 5
2) The FTC may investigate Apple's business practices once again because of the maps issue
3) People ARE decided NOT to buy into Apple because of these problems
Those in this forum that are quick to say, "get lost, go buy an Android" are not helping Apple. If you think that Apple can't die, you are really naive! Apple can become irrelevant quicker than you think.

IOS update fix for the map app

So exactly how long do users have to wait for an update fix for the map app?

The maps included with the iPhone do not cost extra and do use the existing data plan.
AT&T Navigator (GPS) does cost an extra $9.95 (or so) per month.
Most other GPS apps have no monthly fee and use the GPS and, in some cases, the data plan on your phone.
I recommend either Navigon (takes a lot of storage room but maps are stored on the iPhone) or GPS Drive (reasonable price, has great features, maps come from the data path so requires a data signal but takes much less space).

HT6065 When do we get a proper fix for the Mail App?

When do we get a proper fix for the Mail app on my iMac? The last one made things worse. Or ta least, how can I roll back the OS to Mountain Lion?

Thanks for the reply Varjak,
Mail has stopped refreshing as it should. When I click the get new mail envelope, there used to be a sound after around five seconds if there were no new notifications. When I try that now the program just hangs. When I look at 'Force Quit', which incidentally I have to open another app or Finder window in order to access because Mail freezes totally, including the Apple menu, it says that Mail isn't responding. The Mac won't shut down sometimes because Mail won't quit. If I manage to open a mail and then go to another inbox, the whole thing is liable to hang. Using Apple help just before Christmas I cleared out the old cache that M.Lion left behind and now there isn't a cache for Mail.
We are on Tiscali Broadband through a multi-port router and usually getting around 11Mb download speeds. My mail addresses are either tiscali.co.uk or gmail. It will not successfully send group mails either, despite the upgrade before Christmas. I never had a problem with M.L. and Mail. From looking at the Forums it seems I am not alone here. I also have a windows pc and an iPhone and they both access my mail addresses without any problem.
Cheers,
Cybermouse

Has any one found a fix for the iOS 5 WI FI dropping problem?

I own an iPhone 4 and when I upgraded to iOS 5.1.1 it began dropping the WI FI connection randomly, usually after only a few minutes of inactivity. The only solution is to re-start my router and it works fine for a while then drops the connection. I am certain the problem is not with the iPhone hardware. It must be a bug in iOS 5.1.1.
I have been an apple user since the beginning and I have owned just about every model of Mac, I hope Apple will address this issue soon, as I can not imagine any way end users can fix the problem. For the record; my iPhone is factory fresh and not hacked in any way.
Thank you in advance for any assistance...

I'm not aware of any wifi drop problem, which leads me to believe that your router is the problem (or your wifi carrier). Have you had problems using wifi at a public location, like a coffee shop or any store that provides free wifi?

Does anyone know of a work around or a fix for the "Mail.app of death"?

Google it if you haven't heard about it before.
I've tried the proof-of-concept code that's circulating the web and it works as announced in a very disturbing way. (Mail.app crashes, over and over again.)
//Niklas

I noticed a typo in my question, it should be "Mail.app mail of death".
Since no one seem to be interested in this very serious vulnerability, here's a link to the proof-of-concept located at SecurityFocus.

Cant find a fix for 3gs maps bug. Any ideas?

Hi
I have been searching for a fix for the maps app on my 3gs 16gb
It was fine until I updated to os4
Now it puts me a long way off and wont follow me on a journey.
I've looked at loads of forums and found plenty of users with the same problem but no solution.
Any clever people out there with a solution for me or do I need a new phone?
Thanks

If you are interested in all the gory details, here's the threads I was talking about:

A possible fix for the email "large attachment cra...

08, v1507, FP2, UK product code (hacked from original amazon.co.uk Malaysian product code).
I've just started Nokia Suite to see if anything new comes up.
No sign of 1508 but one "really interesting" fix for the email app, specifically mentioning the "large attachment" bug. It isn't easy to reproduce because it doesn't happen all the time, even with the 10MB pics from Camera Pro on max jpeg quality settings, but it is good that Nokia (Accenture actually) are still out there reading the forums and fixing stuff...
No news of any HSPA fixes.
The attachment fix seems to work but they have now imposed a hard limit on email size of 15.36MB, which is way below what the previous email app was capable of sending sometimes - I have tested up to 50MB on the 700 and the 808.

Well... they haven't completely fixed it. This morning, doing some tests (of something else) which involved emailing 2-4 images as attachments (total size under 10MB) the email app crashed a few times. As before, the crash results in the email being dropped into the Drafts folder.

Does Apple have fix for the Canon Digital Camera issue and 4.7 update??

Hi All,
does anyone have any info about a fix for the communication issues with canon digital cameras and PPC users who updated to 10.4.7?
I think it's sad that a machine peopole buy to use for graphics can no longer download picture from a digital camera after up-daing software, as Apple recommends........
Alos, what is the kernel fix....?? any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Bill Anderson

Hi,
What apple are you running?
I have a Digital Rebel XT with PPC G4 with update 10.4.7. And many users with PPC and the update are having the same issue.
Also, if apple would get their updates to the other groups (e.g CANON), then maybe these issues would not come up, but Canon told me "We just can not keep up with Apple updates, and we got the intel versions working, but PPC have toubles..."
OS updates should not affect peripherials such as digital cameras, and the computer does recongize the camera on the USB connection.
thanks,
Bill Anderson

After installing Mountain Lion on my 17" MBP G-RAID mini connected via Tempo SATA Edge ExpressCard34 is no longer recognized. I restored icon and access by removing 34 card and substituting FW800 for eSATA. Any fix for the higher speed connection? TIA

Looks like the Silicon Image drivers were moved to the incompatible software folder during install/upgrade.
Downloaded latest drivers, errored out of install claiming that the drivers were from an unknown author!!!
Emailed their tech support this evening describing problem.

Any fix for the kernel panic issue?

So far, i've had 12 kernel panics. Usually it only happens when I start iTunes or software update. I read in a developer forum it was because of the NVIDIA Graphics card. So, are there any fixes for the kernel panics with Lion?

There is no bluetooth connectivity issue after the recent OS update. There may be a problem with your phone, which may or may not be related to the update. A "common problem" looks like this in the forums:
I haven't seen any threads on BlueTooth with over 1.4 million views and over 12,000 replies, or even any vaguely close. For any problem that someone has there is bound to be someone else amoung 150 million users who have it. That doesn't make it a "common problem."
If you tell us what the problem is specifically and what you have done so far to try to resolve it someone can probably help you.

Any fix for the PC based network printer communication issue with Mavericks?

Any fix for the PC based network printer communication issue with Mavericks?

I just signed up for FIOS and am not experiencing your problem (had enough other ones instead).
Go to mail preferences ~ click on a mail account ~ click on the advanced tab. The only settings that worked for me were: port 110 SSL OFF, authentication: Authenticated POP (APOP). If I remember correctly when I first set this up another window opened and I typed in my password and never had to do that again.
Hope this helps.

Encountering Error in webadi : "&Value is invalid. Enter a valid value for the Mapping column &Column"

We are having a custom WebADI, containing a field (Employee Name) which is a LOV.
The LOV has ID : Person ID, Meaning : Employee name, Description : Position Name.
There are multiple records with same Employee name but different Person ID.
If I select an Employee in the LOV which has multiple records (through different IDs), I am getting an error in WebADI:
"Enter a valid EMPLOYEE_NAME.
XX is invalid. Enter a valid value for the Mapping column EMPLOYEE_NAME"
The Query for the LOV is correct and is returning correct records.
Any pointers on this issue highly appreciated.

Fix for the Aluminum Wire Keyboard?

http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bootcampupdate21forwindowsxp.html
do the new bootcamp drivers have fixes for the new aluminum keyboards?
Im setting up programs & applications using a new macpro, however eject key doesnt function, as i ahve multi-disk installations...and even listening to itunes/wmp11 volume keys dont work.
im just weary of drivers/updates as from previous built xp systems they seem to cause more harm than good and with reading alot of compatibility issues lately.
im wondering if there is any known good fix.
anyone try the new drivers?
i just dont want to have to end up using 3rd Party key re-mappers.
i like to keep it clean and minimal.
thanks guys!

I use the standard apple keyboard with my MacPro. When I installed 2.1 I got "Apple Kybd errors could not install" message. Subsequently the Eject Key worked for the upper dvd but Option|Eject wouldn't open the lower drive. After numerous installs I uninstalled 2.1 and installed Leopard 2.0 drivers. I got the same error message and the keyboard will work period. I run XP SP2 on its own internal drive.

Any word on a replacement for mavericks

I'm wondering if anyone has heard any word about a replacement for Mavericks. Even after this long using it I still think it is a really poor os. If it were not such a chore I woud revert back to Mountain lion or Snow Leopard.

No one here has any idea of when Apple will release the next version of OS X.
I have found Mavericks to be significatantly better then its preciessors.
Maybe if you tell us why you think Mavericks is worst, we might be able to help you.
