Anyone else seriously annoyed at the total lack of Thunderbolt support?

Apart from the oversized thunderbolt servers for sale on the Apple store (totally in-appropriate for the new macbook air or mac-mini) why is it taking so long for any external drives, adapter cables to appear. Lacie claim to have a portable Thunderbolt drive appearing in the 'Summer 2011'. 
So MacBook Air buyers beware, it's USB or not much else for you at the moment. Really disappointing.

There are a number of "available summer 2011" TB devices I am waiting on. My greatest trepidation is that the early devices will be exorbitantly expensive or meagerly capable.
I want the Sonnet Allegro TB-Firewire adapter, the Sonnet TB Ethernet Adapter, and a reasonably priced portable drive.

    Is anyone else having CS5 open the last file automatically (whether they want it or not)? - some of the time it appears this causes a crash as well!
    Is there a way to turn this off?

    I betcha you are a recent convert to Lion!
    It's a system wide "preference"; fortunately, there is an option somewhere in your System Preferences (*not* Illustrator's) to switch this totally annoying, bug-infested, problem causing "new improved what-the-xxxx-were-they-thinking" new feature off.
    I did that SO fast after installing Lion, I can't even recall where to change it. I NEVER ever want it back ON again, so no loss there.

  • TS1702 Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook update? I updated it yesterday and now it won't open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but it still fails to open! Any suggestions?

    Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook app update? I updated it on my iPad 2 yesterday, now it will not open app at all. I have restarted iPad, uninstalled app and reinstalled, several times and still it will not work! Any suggestions? I have also closed the append still no results!

    I just started having this yesterday.  It's only happened twice, but it's annoying.  My wife texted me that she was coming home last night, and it showed up immediately on my iPod Touch but not my iPhone. I opened my iPhone and it soon updated.  Worked fine after that.  Then just a moment ago today my wife texted me and the same thing happened.  I heard my iMac and iPod Touch receive the message but it didn't display on my phone until I opened the phone and it showed up again a little bit thereafter.  I suppose I'll send Apple some feedback on this issue.

  • Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?

    In the last month or so, I've had one problem after another with the Canon Online Store; from being unable to delete items from the shopping cart; to not being able to add "in stock" items; disappearing Wish Lists; and just now, I tried to add one lens cap to the 6 or 7 items I already had in the Shopping Cart, and they disappeared.
    I've called, more than once, and I've written, also more than once, to Canon Support about this, but they ignore what I tell them, and tell me there are no problems with the Online Store.  They don't even seem to report to anyone that anyone has complained, because each time is "the first time", even though I've called (more than once) and written (more than once) to them about continuing Online Stores problems.
    Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?
    Why does Canon not care to track reported problems with the storefront part of their web-site? 
    I'm not trying to insult Canon, it's just that I've been a Canon customer for less than 3 months, and the're only batting .333, so far.  Canon Support was very quick to respond about a concern I had that a 50mm f/1.4 I had just purchased was authentic or not.  In trying to register that lens, I looked up on the Canon web site where to find the serial number.  Since my new lens did not have any numbers there, I was concerned I had been sold a fake.  But, then Canon Support sent me link to a different online document that showed a few different places where it might be, and there it was. 
    Is Canon like that with other problems, as well?  Or is their "batting" average better than my very limited experience? 
    I just love my Rebel T5i, and my Canon lenses (from "the Kit brothers of the Cropped Frame coral":  EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, and EF-S 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM; to the "Truly Nifty Fifty", the 50mm f/1.4 USM, [the f/1.8 is just a "thrifty fifty"], and finally, the "Super-Macro" MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1x-5x Macro)! 
    Regards and Thanks,

    Hi Danny.  Thanks for replying.
    I only use my desktop PC to access Canon's web site, and I've been using Mozilla Firefox for years.  And, yes, it is the latest version.  Since Canon REFUSES to support the use of Firefox on it's web site, WHAT BROWSER DOES CANON SUPPORT?  WHEN did Canon STOP SUPPORTING Firefox?
    I've been told that there are 2 pending orders in my account.  Yet, I NEVER placed those orders!  WHY CAN'T CANON SEE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM??? 
    Instead of off-target suggestions, and pasted boilerplate REFUSALS TO EVEN LOOK at this issue, I would prefer it if Canon went "old school", and FIXED THE PROBLEM, in the first place!  But, maybe that's a bit too grown up of an answer for you! 
    "Award-winning" support???   And, just exactly WHAT AWARD did Canon "support" WIN for CONSISTANTLY IGNORING REPORTED PROBLEMS???  The OSTRICH?
    Please pull your head out, and FIX this problem, OR YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!!
    Thank you for your "prompt" attention to this matter!

  • Has anyone else had problems since the latest itunes/ipod update?

    since i got my ipod and itunes updated, ive had nothing but problems with my ipod. sometimes it freezes, and when i connect it to the computer its all of a sudden corrupted. Sometimes this happens when i connect it to my computer to charge, and gets stuck on the do not disconnect screen. Sometimes ill be listening to music or watching something on my ipod and itll turn off randomly for no reason, then the apple symbol will come on as if i turned the ipod on again. Right now my ipod is frozen on the do not disconnect screen, and i have no choice but to restore it, however it wont even show up on itunes when its frozen sometimes, like right now. Has anyone else had problems since the latest ipod update?

    As i've posted in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=746408&tstart=30
    I've tried everything others have suggested without any luck.
    Now I'm stuck with a 300 bucks mp3 jalopy.
    My big question here is :
    why aren't we hearing from apple? why aren't they saying something like "yeah we messed things up but be patient. we are trying our best to fix it..." ?
    I was thinking to buy the macbook pro but now I'm afraid of the day things will get messy with that too.

    The first thing to try is to temporarily disable any antivirus or antispyware you have on your computer. Those utiltiies can block successful download.

    Thanks for trying it out.
    At least if I'm losing my mind I'll have some company; I'm getting the same page as prom. Sun tries to tell me it's my browser settings, and I keep asking them how my settings can cause them to generate a page like that, then they tell me that as far as they're concerned, the issue is closed.
    Just to double-check with yawmark et al, since my original post may not have been clear: the error comes when you click on the actual download link: http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/Welcome.jsp?StoreId=22&PartDetailId=jdk-1.5.0_05-oth-JPR&SiteId=JSC&TransactionId=noreg

    if that scare you too much then disable the internet modem / cable modem or the likes while you test
    always remove more and more factors when troubleshooting sooner or later it will work and you can narrow down which factor did the job and work on that

  • Does anyone else have trouble with the button on I pad to access other apps

    Does anyone else have trouble with the button on I pad to access other apps

    Hello, Kevandsheila. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are some troubleshooting steps that I could recommend when experiencing Home button issues.  The article below is labeled for the iPhone, but the steps are the same for your iPad. 
    The Home button is slow to respond
    If the Home button is slow to respond when exiting one application, try another application.
    If the issue exists only in certain applications, try removing and reinstalling those applications. Get further assistance in installing and troubleshooting applications.
    If the issue continues, Try turning iPhone off and then on again. If the iPhone will not restart, try resetting it.
    If the issue is still happening, try to restore the iPhone.
    Seek service is the issue is still occurring.
    The Home button isn't working
    Put the iPhone to sleep.
    Wait a couple of seconds.
    Press the Home button.
    iPhone should wake up.
    If iPhone does not wake up, then iPhone should be serviced.
    If the issue persists after all the steps have been processed see the last section labeled issue not resolved.

  • Every time I log onto my iMac profile it starts Safari immediately trying to load a blank page...is anyone else having this problem the last day or two?

    Every time I log onto my iMac profile it starts Safari immediately trying to load a blank page...is anyone else having this problem the last day or two?

    Go to: Safari Preferences... and select the General tab.
    1. Check to make sure that "New windows open with: Homepage"
    2. Then if it still opens blank...? Select the Homepage page that you want Safari to open on and click the "Set to Current Page" button.

  • Anyone else had problems since the Safari 4 update yesterday?

    I spoke to Apple Technical Support who tell me that I'm the only one with a problem! I told them I had seen others on here talking about problems and they informed me that they have 30 million customers (or something) and only about 30 on the forums - hence it's not really a problem!
    Apparently I am the ONLY person who has spoken to Technical Support to inform them of a problem. So in the interests of sharing this knowledge, can I ask anyone else with a problem to please ring Apple Technical Support and let them know.

    Hi
    It's basically that my bookmarks have vanished and the screen is so wide that all I can see is a blank white screen. If I click on the grey bar across the top in order to move the window around, I can see that if I move it far enough to the left, then the page content is actually there - it's just that it's about 4 or 5 screen widths to the right of my visible screen (if you see what I mean).
    I spoke to Apple support and they said I am the only one with a problem, and said I need to reload the original start up disc. We tried to do that but it hasn't made any difference. I am furious with Apple for this - they tried to say it was just like if a car went wrong and I had to take it to a garage - but that's a poor analogy because they sent me the download. I didn't ask for it, they sent it, so I feel they should take some responsibility.
    Sorry for ranting, I am just so angry at their attitude. I expect better than this from Apple. To be honest, this is the kind of treatment I expect from microsoft.
