Apple or Steve Jobs Future of Computers / Computing Video

I saw a video some years ago (I think that the video was from sometime between 1985 to 1993) that was a presentation of Apple's or Steve Jobs' concept of computing in the home, etc. of the future. It was very intriguing and I am curious if anyone knows where I can view this again.

There have also been conceptual videos done such as the Knowledge Navigator concept. But there have been many videos and interviews over the years - Apple's been very popular and active in the media - so without more specifics about the video you saw, it's going to be just about impossible to point you to the correct video, assuming that it's available anywhere on the web.
Regards.

A major black eye for Apple and Steve Jobs - an update on activation issues

I am at 30 hours and still waiting for activation!
I have spent over 7 hours on the phone between yesterday and today trying to get my phone activated. I have been talking to AT&T and Apple and I have wasted my day on hold. No one seems to know what the issue is and everyone keeps telling my they are sorry. I am a current AT&T customer and they deactivated my old phone immediately.
I was on the phone with Apple earlier today for over an hour and the rep had to work with AT&T and still could not correct my activation. She "promised" to call back before 7pm PDT to see if my issue was resolved and I should have known better since of course no call was received. I really was not expecting the call but it should never have been offered.
Throughout my numerous calls I was informed that this was becoming a major issue for AT&T and Apple as the day was progressing and that they had numerous people working on the problem.
Where has Apple and AT&t been in all this? Steve Jobs has been promoting the heck out of his product and now he is no where to be found. No statements addressing the issues on either of their web sites. During my last conversation with AT&T, the rep informed me that at 10:36 CDT she received an update from Apple saying that they are trying to resolve the issues and that it may take 24-48 more hours to resolve. The AT&T rep also informed me that they it AT&T was informed by Apple that the issues with activation are coming from the Apple side.
I know that this is a new product and glitches will happen. But Apple created the hype and they should have been prepared.
In the meantime, I will be charged an activation fee even though I cannot activate and I have wasted my weekend with Apple.
I have a feeling this will become a bigger story on Monday when more stories get out to the press and Mr. Jobs returns from celebrating his "succesful" launch. This is a very frustrating experience and this will probably be my last Apple purchase (I own numerous Apple items).
Good luck to everyone else.

Sorry to hear about all your issues. I am about in the same boat. But, I think mines kinda worse..
Got my phone last night, got the typical Your activation requires additional time. Spoke with an AT&T rep about 4pm this afternoon. He said he would push the activation and give it up to 2 hours more.. Great! 5 hours later and nothing. So I call the 877 number, option 3 to check activation status.... Your phone is activated and you should be able to use all features.. WHAT?! I look at my phone.. I still have a globe telling me to activate iphone, connect to iTunes.. Im 45 mins on hold waiting for a rep again and im more mad then it would have been if it said it was still processing! I understand glitches, and I expected a few issues, but nothing like this..
And as i am typing i just got a customer service agent...
They've done everything they can and i need to wait, since it hasn't been 24 hours yet.. ok, now *** is that?! Im just laughing at how absurd that call was. The customer service rep didn't even understand that i was still at the activate screen, she was asking if i had a dial tone? and if i could get into mail or ipod at the bottom.. oh my.. I really hope I dont have to call AT&T support again for my life with this phone, cause its not starting out good..
Best to all.. lets hope this gets resolved soon!!

Breaking News: Apple's Steve Jobs offers $100 credit to early iPhone buyers

Breaking News on CNN!!!!

I concur! But I will comment more based on the terms of the store credit and validity.
I agree..I'm not going to get ahead of myself and plan out what I want to buy before anything is really gone into detail. But I do say if it's just for the Apple online store (not iTunes store) then that Apple protection plan for the iPhone that I haven't got yet looks pretty nice. But if it's for iTunes as well then I'm getting $100 worth of 24 season 6, ringtones, and songs.

Books on Apple/Steve Jobs - any recommendations?!

Sorry, difficult to know where to post this one, but can anyone recommend any good books on Apple's history / Steve Jobs?
I've just read 'Revolution In The Valley', which was ace.
Is iCon any good? The Second Coming of SJ? Apple Confidential?
Many thanks!

Color Picture of Steve Jobs that I would like to send to Apple for use in his honor. I prefer Color

I would like to send Apple a Color Picture of Steve Jobs that I found on Google. it's the same picture Steve Jobs Biography that
Walter Isaacson wrote. except it's in color. What I did was use my Drawing Pad Program to bring in the picture and then I brought in a splash I croped with Steve Jobs 1955-2011 and saved it. I want you all at Apple to have a copy to use for his memormial eash year. And Thank you Tim Cook and everyone at Apple for honoring Steve's values in keeping Apple products the great products that they are and will remain. Siri is such a riot. I have so much with her. I was able to use Best Buy's Trade-in Program and I traded my iPad 2 in for the new iPad 3rd Generation. I am one that needs Siri to help me spell some words when I get brain lock. lol. . She is also fun to play with. I asked her to tell me a joke, she came back with, " Two iPhones walk in a bar, I forget the rest. LOL. you all have an ad with this joke. I haven't asked her any questions on sports yet. I like figure skating in the winter olympics beacause it's so graceful.
Very Sincerely,
Janet Woodville

Have a new iPad with ios6. Will not send emails. Addresses are valid but get notice each time that recipient was rejected by the server. No help on web site, and Apple's only manual is for previous os version. We miss Steve Jobs.

Have a new IPad with IOS6. Will not send emails. Addresses are valid but get notice each time that "recipient was rejected by the server." Apple has apparently neglected to put out a manual with IOS6 and the previous manual has no indication of what to do. Really miss Steve Jobs.

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works

Since Steve Jobs is no longer CEO, Apple has become increasingly less inovativ

Since Steve Jobs is no longer CEO, I realize how the products and software are always getting slower and Apple looses the thinking of any new inovations and functions. In my opinion this is very sad and wanted to know your opinion

Agreed. Apple software is slipping, from Maps to iTunes 11.
Hopefully the product line has not been modifed from what it was
BSJ (before Steve Jobs).

Will apple change its approach towards flash now that Steve jobs is out of the picture?

Sparked by the talks around the question of whether Apple is going to integrate the flash technology in its products now that Steve jobs is no longer with us, I decided to get your views on that topic. Personally I think that if they won't integrate they are risking a serious drop in revenue from the sale of their mobile products, since the Android platform does provide full flash support, and Windows mobile is going to move in that direction as soon as they get some traction in the global mobile market. The question is will they risk market share loss and stick to their current philosophy, or will they finally give in to the market forces out there?
I would love to hear your thoughts on that topic!

Hello Neygotsole,
Having your device malfunction can certainly be frustrating. After reviewing your post, it sounds as though your device is experiencing multiple issues. I have located an article that can help with software issues. Have you attempted to restore the device to factory settings without restoring from a backup? Test the issue on a new installation, and make sure that it works. Then use the same article to restore from your backup to either verify it still works, or isolate the issue to the backup itself.

Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

Does anyone know the song that is currently on Apple's homepage for the memory of Steve Jobs?

I have Apple set to my homepage. I am looking to find out what instrumental that is in the background. Does anyone have any idea? It starts with a violin. Thanks!!

USMC -- I found this for you. I was pretty sure it was YoYo Ma.
This is from the NYTimes. http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/05/with-steve-jobs-tribute-a-home-page-ref lects-its-founder-again/
On most days, Apple.com is like any other corporate home page — a billboard, a news hub for corporate goings-on and a launching pad for an online store where people can buy stuff. Every once in a while, though, it turns into something unlike any other big company’s home page.
Friday was one such day, when Apple’s home page featured a video tribute to Steven P. Jobs, the company’s co-founder and former chief executive who died a year ago to the day. The 105-second video consisted of still black-and-white images of Mr. Jobs with audio of him announcing Apple products like the iPhone and describing Apple’s corporate philosophy. The music on the soundtrack is Bach’s Prelude No. 1 in G Major for Cello, played by Yo-Yo Ma, who was a friend of Mr. Jobs.
You can find it on iTunes, under Suite for Solo Cello, No. 1.
It's at the top of the YYM, Bach list.

Did all the updates that Apple requested in my 64 GB IPOD and the battery continues discharging very quickly. When this problem will be solved, because before these updates were downloading not the battery so quickly. Did we revive the Steve Jobs to resolve the problem, because each update only worsens the operation. I look forward to a quick, effective and definitive solution. Thank You. Ester

I am 13 and I am very enthusiastic about Apple. At the moment I am reading a Steve Jobs auto-biography and I noticed something that Steve Jobs did in his early life was join the Hp explorers club. Are there any companies who still have clubs?

I really want to start making electronics as I plan to do a course on the subject
I would be so grateful if you can answer my question

Good catch! Yes there was a time when many companies and other organizations did that sort of thing. Now not so much.
Intel still sponsors clubs see http://www.computerclubhouse.org.
You might also check around, there might be after school programs, sometimes the YMCA or Boys & Girls Clubs have programs.
good luck

Adobe: Show Steve Jobs who's boss.

Adobe,
You, like many of us must be angry at Apple right now after the recent ban on 3rd party (flash) created i-phoine apps just days before the public unveiling of your new Creative Suite. I could only image the number of man hours put in by your flash team to get the i-phone app compiler into CS5.
I do not like Steve Jobs anymore. His open arogence and passive agressive maliciousness are beyond acceptable.
Would it be too much to ask if every application in CS5 could be released only for PC? Sure, most people who use CS would have to buy a new computer, but it wouldn't be a mac, so it would be pretty cheap. As a PC and Mac and Adobe user I can say there is no reason what-so-ever for Macs to be the standard for adobe products anymore. Processor speeds, graphics cards and memory are all so high now that it just doesn't matter if you are using a mac or PC.
I know this may hurt your sales at first, but don't worry, it'll be ok. Adobe products are the industry standard for all forms of multimedia development and the alternatives are either non-existent or crude and lacking. You own the market. Your customers will switch to PC if that is what you dictate. They will have no choice; Their livelihoods/jobs all depend on your products. In the end Apple will lose allot more money then you, which is all that matters to me anymore. Someone needs to bring Steve Jobs down a notch and you have the power to do it.

The problem with Adobe Products is that most people use them without adequate training. A little study of various manuals, seminars and online tutorials can make one good and be able to solve those small glitches.
I don't have any problem with the CS3 as the integration is unique and unequalled by any other company. The shortcomings are the Non Realtime playback in PPro. but it renders very fast and also not accepting Inscriber CG and Title Deko like 6.5 but Photoshop, Fireworks and Afterfx are there.
Imagine this guy saying of the so called University removing Adobe Products
"Most people can not even install the latest software because of the changes to adobes install programs."
The Adobe installtion is still the same and I think the guy can not read or is new to Computers. Read the manuals Please

OPEN LETTER TO STEVE JOBS

I'm not a developper, I'm not an English speaking guy (so sorry for my english) and this is an off topic message but I need to say something....
I have just read abut Steve Job's resignation and I think Apple would never be the same without him. I've read a lot of about Steve and I know he was involved in every little step of every apple product (from the initial design to the final product)
Did you know, for instance, that the Iphone has got just one button thanks to Jobs obstination to simplicity?. Nobody thougt it could be possible but him. He has the ability to transmit his energy and faith to everyone in the company to make his ideas possible.
I'm a mac user 7 years ago, not much, I know, but it is time enough to have my own oppinion about apple and what Jobs represents to the Company.
Mr. Jobs...thanks for my Iphone 4, its simplicity and efficiency that everybody wants to copy from, for my Imac Intel based , for my Lion OS in which I work on what I need without wasting my time in fixing OS problems, for my Ipod and above all...for make me feel I'm in touch with the future every time I use anything from apple.
I hope you'll be in the heart of apple for many many years (even not from you CEO position) ank keep all of us dreaming of the future everytime we see a "bitten apple".
Regards,
C. Llerandi

*1. All Customers should be treated Equal.*
From the ones who purchased the iPhone on Day 1 to the ones who bought an iPhone yesterday. There should be no difference or discrimination on timeline.
Nor should be any difference based on the whims of store personnel. Yesterday some customers got $200 refunds even if they were outside of the 14 day window.
Having set this precedent Apple should follow it for all customers

R.I.P Steve jobs a creative genius who left his mark on the world.....

So sad to hear the news about steve jobs my thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time, he changed how think about our devices about not just needing them but wanting them. R.I.P.

The way Steve and Apple Computer touched so many lives in so many positive ways is profound beyond words. It is indeed a sad loss for us all, but more so for his family and friends and associates. I too, thank him for enriching my life and opening me up to devices that have brought pleasure and freedom to my personal world.
