Apple Expert where are you?

I'm almost ready to take a hammer to my iPhone since the latest upgrade. It randomly stops receiving test messages & phone calls. I've posted on the the "Phone & Messaging" forum, and while it seems that others are having a similar problem no one is able to tell me how to fix this problem. If someone from Apple could just let us know that they're aware of the problem, are working to fix it and will hopefully have a patch by - whenever, that would be acceptable for now. But nooooo!!!
So, I thought I'd try out the Apple Expert and see if they might be of service. But guess what!?! This is all I get...
"We're sorry, our system is not available at this time.
Please try again in a few minutes or return to the Apple Support site."
I'm beginning to develop a very strong dislike for Apple...

I just read on another thread that someone who had called into Apple had been told to turn off 3G and only use Edge for the time being. Apparently Apple is trying to determine if its a problem that they need to address or if its something on AT&T's side - at least I think that's whats going on.
Either way, I turned off my 3G and so far I haven't had any more problem. But then again the problem appeared randomly and I had no way of knowing my phone wasn't working until I tried to send a text msg and couldn't.

Red Circle with Red Square back to haunt me. Apple Techs where are you, why wasn't this addressed in iOS 7.04?

Red Circle With Square - I had the red circle with square for two weeks. I did everything listed in every forum to still end up with a smart phone that couldn't play music(iPhone 4s). After I finally reformatted my HDD and reinstalled a freshcopy of MAVERICKS from USB and wiped my phone it went away.
Then it came back. A week after I finally resolved my problem, 3 days after 7.04 release, I loaded a store bought CD and BAM!!!, all 7288 songs on my iphone no longer played, now I am back to ground zero and getting somewhat fed up. This is ridiculous.

@ Nokia - where are you?

OK, so as this is the official Nokia Support Discussions forum I'm wondering where is the input from Nokia addressing all the many, many complaints from disgruntled owners of Nokia devices after this screwed-up Belle 'update'?

Even if I'm not as satisfied with Belle (yet) as with Anna or previous Eseries platforms, I don't think it's fair to complain so much and blame Nokia for Belle, being "horrible", "non-user friendly", "step backward" and other negative adverbs.
Belle's been out for 2 weeks and getting used to the new UI takes some time. Some may like it immediately (I do), some need some time, others don't like it. There will always be people complaining. These same people will "not buy Nokia ever again" and will rather buy iPhone. Well, let's wait for a week and they'll login to the Apple's discussion forum asking "how is it possible that my XY app doesn't sync with my WZ software" or "this is much easier to do with Nokia, hey Apple, where are you guys?". Finally, "I overpayed this iStuff and expected it to work. I'll never buy an iPhone again.". That's life.
Think about - it's a nice gesture from Nokia to offer a FREE upgrade to Belle. It was OUR decision to upgrade, Nokia didn't made us to do it. Perhaps it would be wiser to make Belle payable (couple of euros, make it 20). THEN people should read the specs, what it features and decide if it fulfills the expectations. Making a formal complaint (reclamation) would be reasonable since you payed for it. And Nokia would benefit $$ and could actually pay the SW engineers from this income. But it was for free.
Personally, I like the interface and overall performance - it's smooth(er), battery life is extended, it's easier to control the BT, 3G, Wifi as some examples. I realized some bugs but am sure they'll fix them. I'm annoyed about Wifi bug, absence of remaining characters in SMS messages, but I think I'll survive.
I'm sure "Nokia" is following our discussions but releasing fixes every week is not even possible, reasonable nor feasible. Take time, get a buglist not only from 100 non-satisfied users but from larger pool of users and focus on the most important ones. These phones must work in Germany, California, Hongkong, Christchurch, Novosibirsk, Tahiti, Patagonia,... different languages, fonts, mobile network properties, operators -- you know what I mean?

Smg123 where are you?

smg123 where are you?
I have a question related to post:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=347231
Was the dll ever completed and is it available?
I know smg123 changed usernames last year because of password problems...but I haven't seen that username (smg123NewAndImproved) since December.

although i still would like to see if that dll was ever made, I was able to do what I needed on my own, creating a shortcut in windows from java.

Apple where are you

Apple why don't you try to help your customers, your itunes 7 update is faulty and needs fixing urgently,I can't use my machine.If you don't help me I'll never touch another Apple machine ever again!I can't believe that you are still posting this severly faulty software!

On the 17th sept there were 46,000 visiting this forum but it went blank and reappeared with only a few hundred, the problem with itunes 7 failing to recognize shuffles(the problem seems to only be occurring in this model)is very widespread but large nos of people are now buying new shuffles and nanos as the models affected are around 12 to 15 months old, and the new models are very cheap.The fault is definately itunes 7 software,my shuffle works fine on older versions.But to use itunes store and have your computer recognize itunes store downloads itunes 7 is required .You have the choice no shuffle or no downloads(and u loose all prevoiusly bought tunes until u upgrade to 7). Apple is using the same ploy as injet printer manufacturers that like to tell u their cartridges are empty when their not! Apple is telling us they want us to buy new shuffles or nanos it's pretty obvious they aren't interested it rectifying this problem!Just remember that when purchasing this brand!

HT3529 where are you smiley faces and symbols for texting on the iphone 5c?

Where are the smiley faces and symbols for texting?

On the emoji keyboard. Go to Settings>General>Keyboard>Add Keyboard and select emoji. Then you will have a small globe key near the number key on the left side of the keyboard. This will allow for selecting between the regular keyboard and the emoji keyboard.

Experts - where are the main settings for country currency settings

Hi
where are the main settings for different country currency settings.
Ex:
us,canada and europe customers us$, canada $, europe euro,
How the pricing will effect for different country customers?
Any one can help me on this.
Any documents on thes please send to [email protected]
Thanks
Kris

You can find this in the following path.
SPRO->GENERAL SETTINGS> SET COUNTRIES>DEFINE COUNTRIES-->
Here countries have an ISO CODE
Then
SPRO->GENERAL SETTINGS>CURRENCIES-->CHECK CURRENCY CODES
Here ISO codes mapped to currencies.
If CCode currency = Customer master currency, then transactions will happens in that currency
If CCode currency<> Customer master currency, then the exchange rate will come into play to convert customer currency to company code currency.
And anway if you want a different currency from the country currency, you can mention that in ccode configuration. The presence of currency in company code configuration is must and hence configuration at country level is not needed I think
Hope this helps.
Rewards pls

Portmapper where are you?

On Leopard 1.5.1
I tried to check Darwins ONCRPC features. But cannot get it operating. Lauchd should register portmapper because there is a 'com.apple.portmap.plist' in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons. But 'launchctl list|grep portmap' does not show it(!) and 'rpcinfo -p' gives the error:
rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Remote system error - Connection refused
Also the contents of 'com.apple.portmap.plist' shows strange XML-tags that are not documented in 'man 5 lauchd.plist'!!
Is there some apple expert who knows why?

OK works now!

1.2 firmware, where are you Apple?

Apple I am sure that you are more that aware of the problems of firmeware rev. 1.2. Are these problems that those of us are having fixable? Or is this a hardware problem and you are trying to wait until the one year warranty is gone to inform us?
To the others I have noticed that if I disable the EQ the iPod does not hang. I still get screen artifacts sometimes.

Yes I am very aware that the warranty period will be different based on your date of purchase. My point being that this problem has not been fixed, and since a lot of the new content on itunes has to have the 1.2 firmware to operate apple needs to fix this.
As far as you not haveing any problems, you are lucky. But that does not in anyway help those that have had to deal with these problems.

Apple, where are you now that we need you?

I've had a Ipod for several years and continually run into the problem with "lost" song files. And, no, I haven't been moving or deleting the files. In coming to this discussion group, I have posted my question and see that there is page after page with the same question. Sometimes answers are helpful, sometimes not. My question is this:why is Apple, a multi-billion dollar company with resources coming out of their yin yang, not helping out here. Why do they leave the burden of answering these questions to the same people that are having them? It can't be that they don't know the answers. It must be that rather than hire someone to answer, or at least codify and separate helpful answers from not so helpful, they throw consumer's problems to the wind and go on their merry way. And this is the good computer company! I would suggest Apple takes a short break from introducing new products and spends just a few moments on customer service. Can anyone imagine a car company telling its customers that if they have a problem, go and find someone else with the problem and work it out? What nonsense! What arrogance! As long as providing answers cost money, consumers are going to be in a "discussion" group which is a euphemism for "lost in the ozone."

I really do understand what you are saying but itunes does not monitor the these forums & they charge a few for customer support if you call them. Have you considered switching to yahoo! Music Jukebox their customer service is great but their software is 2 years old & may have see a big differance in customer support. I switched from yahoo! to itunes because of few issues with their software I'm just waiting until they fix it. I have yet to have problems with itunes! That's why all my music files is not in the itunes folder because I rip most of my CD's with Yahoo! Just so that you know the issues I had with yahoo! were very minor I just was getting really annoyed with no artwork/Incorrect artwork & sometimes not being able to rate artist & albums & one more thing sometimes yahoo! would the display the info for song playing it was totally differant/artist playing but these things may not happen to you i have nearlly 14,000 tracks on my computer. Yahoo! Really is a good Player but It may take some time before I go back to yahhoo! & besides I really like the coverflow display in itunes

Bug fix for ios 6 and Music Match - hey Apple, where are you on this ????????

Very frustrating - none of the Forum fixes work. Did you release this untested??

What seems to be the problem?

10.8.4 where are you

cannot wait for 10.8.4 to be released cause 10.8.3 is not working on mine machine so frustrating so best option now to wait any one give me a clue when the next version comes out so my computer works a1 ok again?

Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
Give details of the problem. Don't just state your conclusion as to what's causing it. A remark such as "I think I have a virus," or "I got an error," or "X doesn't work" conveys no information. If X did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I was expecting B; but I got C instead." Include the complete text of any error messages you saw and where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever. Also include the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any pertinent information, but it didn't help, include details.
Post in the most relevant discussion area. Usually that means the area for the type of Mac you're using, if the problem is hardware-related, or for the OS X version you’re running, if it’s more software-related. Some other Apple products, such as Safari, iTunes, and iPhoto, have their own forums.
If asking about third-party software, specify what it is, the website where you got it (if applicable), and what version you have. Ask the developer for help first. Include the results of that contact in your message: what you were told and what you did.

Hard Disk Memory - where are you?

I have the MacBook Air a few months now. I've had the error message 'Start up Disk Full', so I cleared off old vids etc and got a few clean up tips from YouTube videos. That's ok for now.
I've used Disk Discovery to see what level of memory is taken up in files on the hard disk. From what I can gather 37Gb is taken up by everything - user and system files etc. My system resources say I have 12Gb free and the HD is 64Gb. I can't uncover where the other 15Gb is.
So, my question is two fold - How much of my 64Gb should be taken up by system files (I assumed about 10Gb) and where can I locate the remainder of my memory?
All hints & tips welcome. I want to fill up a 32Gb iPod from my iTunes.
Ta,
Phil.

If you go to the Apple Menu, select "About This Mac", and click "Storage", you'll get a sense of how much everything is taking up on your Mac.
The system is going to take up about 10-15GB of space.
Here are some hints to eek out some more storage.
Download and run Monolingual. It is free and will remove all the languages you are not going to use within the OS. For me, I only speak and use English, so I removed everything but English and saved about 1.5GB of storage space.
I purchased Clean My Mac 2 and recovered almost 5GB of storage by removing junk like log files, etc. that build up within OS X. It also has a nice feature which will show you all the files that haven't been used in a long time and/or take up a lot of space. There are ways to do this manually in Finder, but this program makes it a lot more straightforward.
After installing applications I look in the app folders for crap like sample files, readme files, legal files, etc. - all the crap that gets installed that you're never going to actually use or look at. That isn't a ton of space, but good for a few hundred MB. Every little bit counts in my book.
Always keep about 10% of your storage free. The OS constantly writes/deletes information and the less free space it has to work with the slower it will perform.
Hope this helps!

Mirium where are you....

I don't see your famous red signature on any of the intel based Mac forums. Yet I see you have one. What's the deal? Still to many questions to answer on the G5 forum?
Best,
virg

I've had my 20" intel for two years without any problems at all (touch wood!!!!), whereas my Rev A G5 iMac needed almost all the components replaced in the first six months, and finally gave up the ghost a week before Apple Care expired. That taught me to wait for Rev B before buying a new Mac, although I have a Cube, which only had the single iteration. It worked perfectly, I gave it to my grandson a few years ago, he now has a fancy MacBook and gave it back to me, it still works and is a spare in case I ever have problems with my intel.
