APPLE: Get serious about Education or get out

APPLE has taken lots of money from schools across the nation. In my experience, this has been the return:
- an iPad Lab that doesn't sometimes doesn't recognize some iPads, forcing me to unplug them and plug them in again
- a notification that they're not charging, even though they are
- a program - Apple Configurator - that is so buggy that it is almost unusable
- a web filter that blocks a website my school pays for - Study Island - even when every conceivable address associated with that website has been put on the whitelist
- a program - iTunes - that demands to open unsummoned when the Mac starts up, interrupting an already faulty Apple Configurator program, often causing a crash... the kicker is that I can't stop it from happening
- silly obstacles to supervising iPads, like having to keep location services turned off
Your product is ripping off millions of taxpayer dollars. You have shown little initiative in fixing problems that are basic roadblocks to usage. And you don't seem to care very much. When anyone asks me about computers or tablets, your company is the LAST one I would recommend. And that's including companies that make novelty abacuses or that refurbish old typewriters.

This isn't the place to contact apple. It's user to user.

Will Apple get out a fix for iOS6? it's terrible

Will Apple get out a fix for iOS6? it's terrible

Since the very first iphone/ipod/ipad, Apple has consistently released software updates/improvements/bug fixes.
There is no reason to believe that they will stop doing this now.

When does Apple get out of the stoneage and allow Adobe flashplayer ?

I find it extremely stupid that i Can not open a lot of services because Apple does not allow Adobe flashplayer, when Will this be possible ?
Next time i Will find another device that allows Adobe flashplayer if it does not change very soon.

Speaking of the Stone Age, do you live under a rock, or are you just stoned?
THERE IS NO FLASH PLAYER FOR iOS DEVICES.
Adobe was unsuccessful in developing a version of Flash for iOS. Adobe is now abandoning Flash on all mobile device platforms. This is a long dead issue, move on, there is nothing to discuss.
Threats are stupid. Give up your iPad and you will be one of the few without one. Have a care for your derriere on your way out the door.

HT5455 Do you think Apple is serious about this article? Ghosting/IR is normal LOL

Npt sure but is this real??!!!
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5455?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

I can't speculate about Apple's motives for this article, but I don't think IR is a normal occurance on IPS panels, nor is it normally seen on iMac's. I've had several iMacs with IPS panels, not one of them has ever exhibited a bit of IR or "ghosting". I also, prior to purchasing my iMacs poured over the boards and various Mac centered forums, including this Support Community for any problems that purchasers were having. I recall there was a screen brightness problem on several that persisted, there were other screen problems but ghosting wasn't one of them. So I think that is an inaccurate if not disengenuous pronouncement. Ghosting is apparantly occuring on several of the new MBP Retina screens using LG panels. I don't think this normal or acceptable and I think the solution is that Apple and its team need to get with the panel manufactureres and other engineers and sort out the problem, and then fix the MBP Retina displays that are exhibiting this problem It should not be an acceptable standard for any Apple product. No other response is worthy of the standards that Apple has set for itself and its customers.

I was eligible for replacement for my iphone 5 under the sleep/wake button program. Took it to apple store and they declined saying hardware failure. I am baffled whether apple is serious about customers. They manufacture defective goods and we are stuck!

The issue started just out of warranty. Had powering on problem and did not want to spend money on repair. After that the phone crashed and refused to power on for 4 months. Now I am eligible for repair but apple store declined saying it is a hardware problem and beyond repair. I am not able to comprehend the attitude of Apple. Obviously manufacturing sub standard products is their fault and we are paying heavy price!!
The company is obviously gonna lose in the long run!!

No it is not user damAged. I would like to clarify that this piece had problems like bugs, power on and off and charging issues. It used to heat up a lot while in use. It is defective iphone to begin with. Now when iphone acknowledges there is a problem, why not replace??
If the phone was not operating as its supposed to initially you could of had the phone replaced under the 1Year Warranty. Apple is only Fixing phones with strictly "sleep/wake" button issues. i.e. if your phone has other issues other than "sleep/wake" you must fix those on your own (if out of warranty) prior to apple fixing the sleep/wake. However if your device is under warranty they will give you a new phone.

Why Apple is silent about 4s wifi getting greyed out and not responding to this issue? many ppl suffer from this and this is absurd!

Why Apple is silent about iPhone 4s wifi getting greyed out with iOS updates 8.0.2 and 8.1 and did not respond to this issue officially? Many people are suffering from this affected service. How can you trust us to buy new iPhones when you stop supporting us with the ones we have since they are still upgradable to the latest iOS.
Is there any chance that we will be given the support and would this issue be fixed with any upcoming updates? My iPhone when its battery is drained totally and I start it again the WIFI works until I try to choose another network or somehow I disable it then blackout!
This is definitely a software issue that we never had problems before this update.
Show us that you care for your products at least and provide us with a solution please.

That doesn't help at all.. I can only have it enabled if the battery gets drained out totally then when I restart it the WIF is on. then back greyed out.. that is not a serious reply, really!
Yes, it's a serious reply. Did you actually read the information at the link I posted? Especially the last sentence? The fact that it appeared when you updated to iOS 8 has no bearing on the validity of the article. It is not specific to any version.

My iphone 3g stays on the apple logo for about 4 minutes then flashes white and goes back to the apple screen, it repeats untill battery is flat, every now and then im lucky enough to get it to turn on but not very often and then it freezes and repeats??

hello my name is kirstie, i updated to firmware 4.2.1 .....my iphone 3g stays on the apple logo for about 4 minutes then flashes white and goes back to the apple screen, it repeats untill battery is flat, every now and then im lucky enough to get it to turn on but not very often and then it freezes and repeats the same problem?? (if i turn the phone off my pressing the two buttons it wont keep rebooting, its only when i leave it after turning it on)
I have reset the phone, full firmware restore, even downgraded back from firmware 4.2.1 to .3.1.3 official by using dfu mode and still doesnt fix.
(i correctly got out of dfu mode after the downgrade)
i can enter dfu mode and recovery, and update through itunes with no problem, but it doesnt fix the problem,
i have searched and found no answer to this problem, every option availible to try that i know of i have tried and failed. i dont care about preserving my content i just want a fix. i have a good understanding how to operate software on a computer and shouldnt be too confused by any advice given, so plz even if the answer is very complex i wish to try anything, please help me to get my iphone working.

Anyone have any suggestions? or is everyone else just as clueless as me !

I'm trying to buy more storage on my iPad but when I get to the "buy" button, it has my old Apple ID and I can't go any farther. I've changed my Apple ID on all my devices, logged out, logged back in, rebooted, etc., but that one area still has old one.

You can't buy more storage on an iPad. You are referring to space on iCloud and that probably won't accomplish what you are trying to do.

Only one of my earbuds on my bose headphones works with my ipad, iphone and macbook- if I hold them there the right earbud will work, but for the life of me, I can't get them to both work. Why is this? And is Apple doing anything about this?

While Apple's headphones have (finally) admittedly gotten better of late, I still prefer the much more comfortable headphones & sound quality that Bose makes and that I spent the money for.

Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
Then See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.
After you have Recovered your Device...
Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...
Restore from Backup > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
If the issue persists...
Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

How do I get OUT of the Apple Store and back to my playlist?

Something sent me to the Apple Store for a free amp which I couldn't find. Now EVERYTHING comes up Apple Store in iTunes. How do I get out of it and back to my jazz and classical playlists and be able to play CDs in my iMac with this terrible software?

Click on 'Library' at top right and choose 'Music'.
Personally, I would enable the sidebar, which makes navigation a lot easier - command-option(alt)-s

How can I get out of the flashing Apple screen on Iphone 3 ?

How can I get out of the flashing Apple screen on Iphone 3 ?

Turn it off. While pressing and holding the Home button, connect it to your computer with iTunes open. Hopefully you will be able to restore it after that. If not, it requires service.

During opening Apple ID. I do not get My country region Bangladesh in given country region list and credit card from my country is not accepting apple. How could I sort it out? I cannot buy any app

During opening Apple ID. I do not get My country region Bangladesh in given country region list and credit card from my country is not accepting apple. How could I sort it out? I cannot buy any app

Yeap, that's what I was afraid of. I have a valid card and a valid billing address, I just don't see why they're keeping people like me from using their service, and what the actual roadblock is in getting an iTunes Store for Serbia.
Thanks anyway!
