Apple HAVE rewarded their early adopters in the past

I must admit that my first thoughts on reading the posts of users complaining about the price drop was along the lines that everyone knew that the price would come down eventually so what's all the fuss about.
Then I remembered my experience as an early adopter of Apple's Aperture photo software which initially cost $499 with no opportunity to download a trial version. When Apple upgraded Aperture to v.1.1 a few months later they dropped the price to $299 AND they offered a $200 Apple Store coupon to people who had paid full price for the first version.
So, Apple does have a history of "making it right" for early adopters. Let's hope that they are listening to these complaints and will come through in the end.

You have to let Apple know. Apple doesn't use these forums. Voicing yourself with a Retail Manager, and using the feedback form are the best avenues for communicating with Apple.

In the event that Apple is unresponsive, media outlets are an alternative:

I have been informed by Orange (UK) that Apple have 'changed their rules' with regards to unlocking iPhones, and that it will take 6 months to process. Is this correct?

Complete rubbish
Apple do not lock iPhones
Carriers do because they have subsidised the purchase price
and therefore only the carrier can unlock an iPhone
Orange have decided to apply 6 months to protect their revenue
they never have been the fastest to unlock

Does Apple have any future plans to add the 8x DL SuperDrive to the 15.4"?

Just as the thread reads: Does Apple have any future plans to add the 8x SuperDrive (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) to the 15.4" MacBook Pro? I'm very interested in this unit for college, but I need to have DL burning capabilities.
Thanks!

Actually it's not a question of when Apple feel like it.
The old Powerbook was 1.1 inches and had an 8x drive. The drive from the PB was too tall for the MBP. The 17 does not have the problem as it uses a "wider" drive, one too wide for the 15
So until someone manufactures an 8 speed drive as thin as the 4x drive Apple can't offer it.
I hope that helps somewhat - it may be an idea to look at what the major drive manufacturers are coming out with. Also the timings for Blue Ray and DVD HD may mean that Apple decide to skip going back to 8x drives anyway - of course that depends on the size of those drives and Apples MBP form factor staying the same.
Totally agree with what Rachel said also.
Best of luck.

If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine.
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups. The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more. The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine.
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

How do I download OS X Lion faster? I have been trying to download for the past 36 hours without success.

How do I download OS X Lion faster? I have been trying to download for the past 36 hours without success.

When I tried to download and install Lion using the App Store, I found that it would just HANG when I entered my Apple ID, and would never start the download. It was never getting past the login. I searched the forums and found other people with the same problem but no solutions.
In troubleshooting it myself, I stumbled across something that worked for me. I wanted to just make sure I had the right password and that my Apple ID was still working, not disabled, so I logged in with my apple ID on iTunes. It worked so I then went to the App Store and logged in again.
Once I did that, the download started and finished the way I expected. Over verizon FIOS, the download took me about 40 minutes, and then the install took 30 minutes after that.
So, if it is hanging and never really starting the download, try logging in to iTunes first, then the app store. It might work for you too.

Hi: I don't believe that Telus provides unlocking for the iPhone. Other phones, yes, iPhone no.

I'm having trouble buying a season pass for The Americans. I have purchased passes to Justified for the past 4 years with no problem. Can't figure out why this purchase won't work.

What is the problem that you are having ? If you are getting an error message then what does it say ?

I have sent photos via iPhoto in the past. Had to reset my email address

When I attempt to email a photo using iPhoto, a yellow triangle pops up with an exclamation point. No text, no instructions, and only option is to click OK. IWhat do I do? I have sent photos via iPhoto in the past, no problem. Had to reset my email address in preferences for some reason , and a request for iPhoto to share my photos or something came up and I just clicked OK thinking I needed to do that to email them. Now, yellow triangle. ( I have changed my preferenced to send via my email program, but I prefer iPhotos snappy layouts and would like to correct this problem.)

In iPhoto's Accounts preference pane delete the email account, close and open iPhoto and add the account back again.
If that doesn't help try some of the photo stationary in Mail.

Try just restoring to factory settings/new iPod this time. Not from backup.
If it reiccurs that indicates a hardware problem.

i have an ipod touch 3rd gen.I used the function of erasing all contents and settings and now i am stuck with this screen showing the apple logo and the loading sign for the past 17 hours.CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hold down the on/off button and the home button for 20 to 30 sec, when the iPod starts and the Apple logo is on the screen release the on/off button but continue to hold the home button until you see the plug into iTunes screen. Connect the iPod to iTunes and you should be good to go.

HT201077 My Iphone 4s was replaced by the Apple store today. I previously backed everything up to Icloud. I'm downloading everything from Icloud onto the new phone. The pictures seem to have stalled on number 215 for the past hour or so.

I had my I phone 4s replaced today at the Apple store. I previously backed it up on ICloud. I'm downloading from ICloud to the new phone. The pictures have been stuck on number 215 for an hour now. I've turned the phone off and on several times, but it won't progress in downloading the pictures. This happened the last time the phone was replaced and there was something I could do to get things moving, but I don't remember what?

Then you'll have to decide when you think it's hung and unlikely to restart. At that point, you'll probably have to reset it (by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release) and try restoring the backup again.
The only "solution" I've seen posted on photos that fail to restore from a backup that seems to have worked for others, is the on posted by ezjules here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589. If you restore the backup again, you could give it a try and see if it works for you.

None of my finished idvd projects have audio, although they did in the past. Also, none of and none of the idvd themes have audio, although they always used to open with accompanying audio.

None of my finishsed idvd projects have audio, although many were finished and had audio before. Also, none of the idvid themes have audio, although in the past they each opened with their own canned audio. Any ideas on where the audio went and how to get it back?

In addition to deleting the iDVD preference file delete the contents of the iDVD cache folder:
Try this basic troubleshooting fix:
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
