Apple -clueless about its own software !! can anybody give me a straight answer to this ?

APPLE - clueless about its own software !!! Can anybody please give me a straight answer to this question - how do I zero out my Apple SSD ??
I have spoken to Apple engineers in-store and via phone support and nobody seems to know how to do it, in fact the guys at the retail store were not even aware that the option for secure erase has been disabled for macs with SSD running Lion. Now im aware that some people will say this is to protect the lifetime of the SSD, but this is irrelevant as Apple SSD's running Lion has TRIM utility. Furthermore to save people's time you cannot do it by externalling booting or by holding down C or CMD+R !
So, has anyone got a simple method for this, it cant be impossible !
Please help

  • Suddenly my Fast dial add on (ver 3.4) looks blurry..i tried reinstalling, but in vain. can anybody give a suggestion how to resolve this issue?

    it was working fine until i changed the appearance form default to metallic telega.

    Yes but there's no point doing it here. As the Terms of Use make quite clear this is a User to User forum. It's Users like you talking to other Users. It's not a channel to communicate with Apple.

  • HT204391 How come Apple can't use its own software to create this guide as a pdf or an iBook?

    Does Apple actually use its own software?
    The woefully few manuals it manages to provide now are all created in Indesign and desperately need the critical eye of an editor to correct the errors, ommisions, obsolescence and plain confusing statements.
    As Apple's efforts grow ever more obscure, awkward, contradictory and difficult to use, it tells it Users next to nothing about how they all work.

    LOL, I saw the points tally and thought at first  you were opening a thread to motivate some ideas to pass back!
    I assumed also that the points did not come  from iBA and like others... were experienced and skilled dealing with Pages etc,.
    Fact is  Apple cloned iBA from Pages - which is basically a sound concept and suits a purpose.. but the cry as always been... "give us a decent manual".  Apple in their wisdom apparently did not conceive that people would use iBA having never used pages. I actually purchased iWorks back in 2005 for  my then new PowerPC G5 10.4.11 tried it and went back to  MS Publisher!
    18 months or more on depending on iBA's release, most  users are pretty much capable now but  a few new comers from other software packages  do seen to  have trouble getting information to start up.
    From Apples point of view.. their project worked, the software  as it is as flooded the book store with product dedicated to iPads and therfore income for Apple only.  I have no doubt the next update will deal with some of the isssues sent  in as feedback.
    Meanwhile, welcome to the club.........

  • Why can't we get a straight answer from Apple about updater issues?

    Why are there thousands and thousands of posts from people all having the same issue? We try to update IPod software using latest updater, and it causes IPod to no longer be recognized. All we want is someone from Apple to FIX THE PROBLEM! Yet all we get are refferals to complicated articles that never seem to work for at least half the people. Clearly it is a problem with these updaters. WHY IS APPLE NOT FIXING THIS ISSUE? Can anyone give me a straight answer!?

    Hi Wolf,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    "thousands and thousands of posts"
    There are roughly 10,300 thread with 50,000 posts in the iPod Nano forum, and there are probably another 500,000 who don't even know it exists. I don't there there has been a thousand posts on the updater issue. It may seem like thousands upon thousands, but don't forget; you're at an Apple Support Forum.
    "All we want is someone from Apple to FIX THE PROBLEM!thousands and thousands of posts"
    There's no need to "shout". I don't think Apple is going to hear you from shouting in a user to user forum. Nor will you probably get a answer (here) from Apple for the same reason. I have a -------- (straight) answer for you. I don't know what's going on specifically (no one really knows in this forum because they are all users. Anyone who would know won't say), but I can assure you that Apple isn't ignoring the issue. They are the quickest to respond to any problem that comes their way. If you would like to get Apple's attention, I don't suggest ranting and raving in the iPod user to user forum. I suggest submitting polite feedback to Apple here.

  • Can anybody give me the table with tcode and its development class

    can anybody give me the table with tcode and its development class

    Hi phani,
    1) First retrieve program name from tstc table I.e field pgmna.
      2) Using pgmna retrieve from tadir table by using the following criteria from tadir table
       pgmid    = 'R3TR'
      AND object   = 'PROG'
      AND obj_name = tstc-pgmna.
    We will get development class or package in tadir i.e
    tadir-devclass 
    Thanks,

    Im from Philippines one of our carriers here supports 4G already on selected areas, Im currently in the area where this carrier has 4G now, I couldnt see my phone on 4G signal. Can anybody give me an idea, why?

    Here's why:
    The iPhone 4S does not support 4G.  Only the iPhone 5 does (of Apple's iPhones).
    Here's an iPhone comparison chart:

    If it happens again the make sure that you aren't suppressing website colors.
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

  • I am new to Service module,can anybody give the over view of service module

    I am new to Service module,can anybody give the over view of service module including base table and Relation ship with other Oracle Application module.

    Hello Les,
    Think that you want to buy television or computer and how will you proceed for that.
    1. Material Requirement : Your family will ask you that they need television so that is material requirement from the users (family), they will also give additional information like what is the size of TV, which brand etc
    2. Quotation (Inquiry) : now you have requirement that you need one TV so you will looking for different vendors i.e. Phillips, Sharp, AIWA, Deawood and ask them to give the prices and other terms (free shipping, service after sales ) for TV
    3. Quotation comparision : Once you get the price from all your supplier, you will make comparision on price and other terms also you can negotiate the price with vendor asking for discounts, free door delivery
    4. Vendor Selection: Based on your negotiation you will identify the best deal and place order to that vendor.
    5. Purchase order : You will place order to vendor asking for material (TV), for certain price on particular date at particular location (you home).
    6. Goods Receipt : Once vendor delivers TV then you will receive the material at your location
    7. Invoice receipt: Vendor will send the invoice with that delivery and you will check the price and make the payment to vendor,
    I hope this will help you to under stand the concept of Procurment cylce.
    More details you can get it from the link which I provided.
    Regards

  • I have an iPhone 3GS and it recently started to make a Cicada type of sound when pushing the close button on the top right hand of the phone. Can anybody give me feedback on what this is or how I might be able to fix it?

    I have an iPhone 3GS and it recently started to make a Cicada type of sound when pushing the close button on the top right hand of the phone. Can anybody give me feedback on what this is or how I might be able to fix it?

    It will be replaced with the exact same model. It is not expensive compared to the full retail price of a new phone (without carrier subsidies).
    If you're eligible for an upgrade from your carrier, now might be a good time to consider upgrading to an iPhone 5, though.

    The seller needs to follow this procedure:

    If she refuses, then as Tim suggested the iPhone is probably stolen. You'll need to contact your local police department and ask how to proceed.

  • Why can't I get a straight answer re: Multi Room DVR and HD Boxes

    A rep that I spoke w/ on the phone and the website tells me that the HD set top boxes are not compatiable w/ the Multi Room DVR. But they are working on it. A rep I chatted w/ today told me they definitely WILL work together. Why can't I get a straight answer?? And what IS the correct answer? I want to switch to FIOS and I really like the Multi Room DVR option, but I don't want my 1 of my 2 main TVs to be w/o HD. And since the Multi Room Box is HD why wouldn't it be compatiable w/ the HD boxes??
    Does anyone know what's going on w/ this?? Thanks!

    Joe01880,
    And that info is out of date, whether it is on Verizon's website or not. If you have the latest level of the IMG (1.6), then, as confirmed one post above yours, that the HD STB is now supported, and works. This has been posted in multiple posts on multiple forums, so I believe that it is accurate. But I do not have the 1.6 level so I cannot confirm that personally, I can only repeat what other posters in this and other forums have said. For example:
