Anyone knows if Apple will make keyboards like their laptops?
I recently got my Power Mac G5 and noticed right away how different the keyboard is when compared to my PowerBook G4. The PowerBook was the best keyboard I've ever used both on PC and Mac.
I believe the reason I like the laptop's keyboard so much is that the keys seem to be spaced out more than the one included with my Power Mac. The keys are also a lot thinner and they seem to not sink down as much.
Before getting my PowerBook I used to have carpal tunnel pain in my wrist, but after getting it I could go hours without any pain. I really don't like those curved ergonomic keyboards so does anyone know if Apple has an external keyboard that is the same as my PowerBook? I'm starting to redevelop carpal tunnel pain in my wrist from using my Power Mac's keyboard.
I believe the cramped close together keys is what's causing carpal tunnel pain, so if some manufacture would just space out the keys more instead of forcing us to use weirdly shaped ergonomic keyboards then I would appreciate it. Does anyone know if such a keyboard exist? One that had all the special Apple only keys would be even better.

Apple does not discuss unannounced products,
therefore any guess would be pure speculation, which
is a violation of the terms of use of these
discussion forums.
Sorry, I did not know that. I'll keep that in mind for the future.
If you'd like a fullsize keyboard with the feel of a
laptop keyboard, then have a look at Macally:

Thanks! I believe this is what I'm looking for. I'm surprised that Apple doesn't have one themselves since they basically created the PowerBook keyboard. I can't be the only one who notices the comfort difference between Apple's standard keyboard and their PowerBook laptops.
This is also not because it's a laptop, since I've used several PC laptops before too. I don't think it's a coincidence that Apple made their PowerBook keyboards different. As I've said earlier my PowerBook is the most comfortable keyboard I've ever used...and I've used many different keyboards including those ergonomic ones. Anyway, thanks again. I'm going to try out this keyboard from Macally.

after sitting in a group of friends at a cook out i heard peoples phones ring with like the transformer ringtone, a song ringtone and a funny ringtone. but to my surprise it was from a text message, i felt so left out cause all i had were those pre programmed tones. i was hoping that that would be something that apple would update and let us have but i yet to find any app or update that did it. so i lost the battle with friends that they should get a iphone cause its amazing. and now they got one up on me saying the evo, blackberry, and droid are better then the iphone. i hope i'm not the only one that feels that we should have special ringtones for text messages too.. i hope someone at apple reads this.
You and your friends base the merits of iPhone, evo, Blackberry and droid on the ringtones. wow!
edit: IOS 5 in the fall, will have configurable ringtones for messages. YAAAAAAAAAAAAY -

Anyone know when Apple will bring out a patch to fix the volume problem you get on mac mini after downloading OS 10.8.5?
Only Apple knows the answer to whether or not there is a verified problem and if so when will a fix be released. As is their custom, Apple does not talk about these things and the rules of these communities prohibit speculation about future udates or upgrades. It is probably safe to say if a fix is deemed necessary it will be called OS X 10.8.6.

At the time of writing, Aperture, Finder and Preview all report the NEFs files from the D4s and the D810 as unreadable. I've got to use Adobe's PhotoShop, Lightroom or Camera Raw to do post-production. I can't even see thumbnails in Finder. Has anyone heard of Apple addressing this, and a timeframe? Will the new replacement program for Aperture be able to work with them?
What's even crazier, is when you go to this page: http://support.apple.com/downloads/#aperture the 5.06 one is missing, the 5.07 one downloads a file with 507 in the title, but when try to install it, it says that answer one is already installed.

Its a Late 2013 MBP and its the higher end 16gb ram model
Ive only had it a few months so its under the one year warranty, and it had like 1 or 2 really annoying dead pixels.
Will apple replace it or repair it if i take it in?You'd better make a reservation of Genius Bar and show them the problem, dead pixels and ask for repair if it's possible.

Hi,
People at our company installed the latest Java for OSX 2013-004 1.0 Apple Update and all of our software installers failed to run anymore. The only way to kill the installer was Apple Menu -> Force Quit after that. We all had to downgrade to Java for OSX 2013-003 to work.Welcome to Apple Support Communities
I have heard problems with that update. Unfortunately, we don't know when an update will be available. Apple often releases Java updates at the same time as Oracle, but we don't know more things -
Roku has a lot more choices for tv watching. I would love to watch vudu through the apple tv, instead of my smart tv. I also like the feature of being able to listen to music or listening to an audiobook through the whole house through apple tvs in every room.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Nobody here will have any information about that here since the community is only made up of users like you or I. Anything else is mere speculation and speculation is not permitted here under the Terms of Use for these communities.
If you believe that Apple's product may be enhanced in anyway you can leave feedback here. -
If anyone can give me some advice on this subject would be great!!!
If you purchased the AC+ coverage package then yes, they will, the first of two times you're covered for accidental damage and it will cost you $45.
If you did not purchase it then yes, they will, but they won't repair it but will, instead, replace it for somewhere around $400. I seem to remember that that price was independent of model, but you'd have to check.
Absent the accidental damage they probably would have replaced your iPad for free as a matter of course due to the dead pixel, but I'd expect that option to be off the table.
You can always live with it, as long as the dent doesn't seem to have dislodged the screen. They will sometimes come loose as a result; check for increased light leakage in a darkened room, perhaps just looking at the backlighting, to see if that has happened. -
Does anyone know if Apple TV will be supporting Amazon Prime streaming?
I have found that my Apple TV streams Netflix more reliably than my Sony Blu-Ray and would like to stream my Amazon Prime but currently Amazon Prime is not aupported in the Apple TV software. Does anyone know if Apple will be supporting it?
We are just users here so no one would know and speculating on it would be against the terms of this forum.

Would like to use iMessages internationally, sending between an iPod touch and and iPhone. Does anyone know if it will work between countries?
The iPhone is not user servicable. You can get an out of warranty replacement from Apple for $149. If you open the phone yourself, you forfeit the ability to do this.
