Apple map is useless and full of errors- What would Jobs say?

Apple should never have release Maps the way it is - it is absolutely wrong .Each time I type an address in NY City ,Map sent me to the Bronx- when I entered for location Time Square,New York City- Map sent 3 locations, one right, the other one in Brooklyn and the third one downtown - each with publicity for Hotels- Several locations were also wrong- if this was an application sent to Appple by X,it would have been rejected- It is shamefull that Apple replaces Google Map that works well with this zero application- extremely disappointeed by Apple.I am sure that the boss in the old time would never approved such a piece of nonsense- useless and erroneous-

The week prior to upgrading to iOS 6 I typed in a location in Search and it found it and worked great. After the upgrade I was going back to that location and wanted to bring it up on the map and it didn't find it. Other searches that yeilded many results are not working worth while either. I am disappointed in the "new" map application. If it was an app available for purchase, I'm sure the reviews would be horrible and I doubt many people would buy it.

Apple Maps - Please reconsider and include Google Maps. As a long time Apple customer, I am disappointed iOS would regress the system and inconvenience millions because of a vendetta that should never hinder users. Not only does the transit feature I used

Apple Maps - Please reconsider and include Google Maps. As a long time Apple customer, I am disappointed iOS would regress the system and inconvenience millions because of a vendetta that should never hinder users. Not only does the transit feature I used religiously no longer exist, but clicking on an address in a website now directs users to a poor Google Maps interface. I am surprised to see such a effortless update from a company squatting on the resources to make a change its customers are asking for.

Apple has documented an API to provide add-ons to the Maps app in the iOS 6 SDK, so that such add-ons are possible is absolutely not a guess that the capability is there. As to whether someone will indeed develop an add-on for any given transit system, that would be a guess, yes, but at a couple of companies at least have already announced plans to do so.
In select cities and areas - so now I'm going from being able to supply this information myself to either wait for someone to supply an app or write an app myself... This is not feature progression but feature regression. Adding transit times or a specific overlay should not have to be something you need to do through code via an API. So no dice... Your guess that we will see better transit information is just that - a guess, nothing else.
If you don't agree with that editorial, you are certainly free to do so. I provided the link as food for thought for those who have been questioning Apples' decision to drop Google's maps from iOS. Whether or not you agree with Brad's analysis or that of anyone else is up to you.
But on that central issue the editorial fails - it's is not the true tale of why Apple made their move and therefore useless even as "food for thought" (because it's guesswork).

I want to go back to the previous 2014.2 version. .3 is much too buggy and full of error messages. Creating problems as I am on a timeline with my client and I don't have time to fool around with all the problems.

You didn't mention what error(s) you've encountered? A workaround for the most commonly hit problem is here Re: error in Muse : Object UID:U6875 has two (or more) owners: U3633 and U3165
If you have a copy of your .muse file that has not been saved using 2014.3, you can downgrade by uninstalling Muse and then choose Previous Version in the Filters drop down in the Apps panel of the Creative Cloud desktop app. There will be a popup next to Muse where you can select a prior version to install.

Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart. Usually takes about 10 seconds time. If still problem. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the Firmware.

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

I recently purchased a Mac Book Air and wanted to know what would be the best external hard drive to buy as far as the brand and GB or TB are concerned? I will basically just be storing music, papers, and a lot of pictures.

I recently purchased a Mac Book Air and wanted to know what would be the best external hard drive to buy as far as the brand and GB or TB are concerned? I will basically just be storing music, papers, and a lot of pictures. Also, how should I go about charging my computer? Should I wait until it is close to dying and then charge it?

I have had good success with HGST and Seagate HDDs. I suggest a HDD that is powered by the MBA eliminating the need for an AC cord. They now come up to 1.5 TB in capacity. In my opinion, one cannot have too much storage. If necessary, let your bank account be your guide.

IOS6 maps are useless, and other observations

Well Apple, I'm not sure what happened here - but it seems like you hired some engineers that must have been fired by Microsoft.
Seriously, your new map app is a COMPLETE JOKE, and is simply useless. Did you even bother to beta test it? Obviously if the product is THIS bad, it should still be in beta, and we should still be using Google Maps until you at least get Apple Maps *working*.
KEY ISSUES (and I know I'm not alone here)
1) Poor detail. Lack of street name.
2) Missing traffic data - you show RED bars only, while YELLOW is also very useful.
3) Crashes
4) Search feature does not spell check correctly or come up with similar local addresses like Google maps does. Frequently, Apple maps can't find an address at all.
5) Trip router is a JOKE. No way to skip freeways, and no transit inormation. Trip router will take the LONGEST WAY using freeways instead of a far shorter rout using surface streets.
6) Usability is lame - for instance, you do a search, then click the rouut trip button, and... the trip rout does not use the item you just searched for. If you want to update the rouut from your most currrent location, there is no edit button, and you have to cancel, and scroll into recents etc etc.
7) There is no separate tab vfor routed directions and searched.
8) S L O W
9) WRONG
Google Maps WAS the most used app on my iPhone next to Pandora. Now, MAPS is useless. By upgrading my iPhone to iOS6, I have degraded my iPhone and rempved some of it's most important

Hi,
You are here on a user-to-user message board and not in contact with apple representatives. If you have complains to do I suggest you do so through the feedback tool on apple.com

Apple TV - iOS 8 and Radio Station Error

Hello,
I recently updated my two Apple TV's to iOS 8 when the new release came. After doing so, whenever I would play a radio station, any one, it would play for about 10 minutes and then an error would appear on the screen saying "An error occurred loading the content". This happened on both Apple TV's. On one of them, I downgraded the firmware to 6.2.1 and now the radio station plays continuously. I wanted to report this issue so it can hopefully be addressed soon.
Thank you.

If you wish to roll back the update, you need to do the following:
1) Download the firmware you wish to use. I went to ipswdownloader.com/download-apple-tv-ipsw-files.php and selected "Apple TV 3G (2013) 6.2 (11D257c) AppleTV3,2_6.2_11D257c_Restore.ipsw".
2) Using a micro-USB cable, connect the Apple TV to your computer.
3) Load iTunes and select Apple TV once it shows.
4) If you're using a Mac, hold the "Option" key and click the "Restore" button. If you're using Windows, I believe it's the "Shift" button you hold.
5) Locate the IPSW file and then double click on it. This should prompt the firmware downgrade.
Let me know if you have any problems.

HT5429 How do I view Apple Maps on Windows and Mac?

Apple must be smoking something good if they think Apple Maps can be improved without allow users of Mac OS, Linux and WIndows computers see and edit the maps somehow.
Which raises the question: how do I edit my Apple maps listing?
On Google Maps it is free and easy to claim and edit Google maps listings.

You don't at this point. It's not available on the Mac or the PC.

You will need to delete that iCloud account on the device, then create a new one and login with the alternate AppleID.

I have a desktop Mac OS X Leopard. I want to upgrade to Quicken 2007, Install Snow Leopard and download iLife '11. I heard that Quicken and Snow Leopard can clash and have problems. What would be the best order for installing these products. Thank You.

First, install OS X, then install your third-party software.
How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal
startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
1. If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the
      update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it.
      Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've
      restarted.
2. You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system
       software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through
       other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
3. The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other
      interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below)
      from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use
      the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
      1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
      4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
          logo appears.
      5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
      6. Follow instructions.
After installing Snow Leopard you should update it by downloading and installing Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

I want to make a folder "A" and save to disk (appendable), then as and when required I wish to append to that folder files "B" and later on files "C" and so on. What would be the way to do this.

It's not clear how what you're describing is different from the way all folders work.

How do I watch a movie downloaded to my MacBook on my ATV?     The movie works fine on the computer but I just get a checkerboard pattern on the TV screen with audio but no video. Apple support is useless and suggested that I reload the software...

Just downloaded a HD movie to my computer (brand new MacBook Pro, all software up to date) and can't watch it on my Apple TV (brand new last year, all software upto date). Using Airplay mirroring works fine in general but when I press play on the movie I lose the picture and get only a checkerboard pattern and sound. Another MacBook we have gives a black screen with no sound. Apple assistance is completely useless. They suggested that I download the most recent software (all upto date), reload the movie (done and no help) or read the FAQs (no help, although this board suggests that there is a fundamental compatibility issue with mirroring of HD content...!)   That's what the ATV is for!   The new MacBook uses a different connector and I can't plug it directly into the monitor input on my TV with the connector I had from the old computer.   I ordered a new connector for fifty bucks and they stupidly sent it UPS with a signature required for delivery since it is such a high value item so now I have a hassle to receive it. In any case plugging in a wire from across the room isn't a solution. Is there any way to make all of this supposedly integrated hardware and software work or has Apple completely lost their way and turned into a Microsoft clone?   Hopefully some of their market mavens will read this and steer the ship back on course. In the meantime any help you may provide would be much appreciated.

The movie is from iTunes.   You would think that a download from iTunes to a MacBook could be watched on an HDTV using Apple TV without any headaches bit this does not appear to be the case.
