Apple:PLEASE clear up the AT&T mess.
I bought the iphone in Jan 2008, got the 3g 8gig in July 08 for $199, the fully subsidized price...I would be interested in doing the same in the next months to get the 3gs, I was told by the 611 operator that it would cost me $399 for the $199 3gs if I dont wait till December 12 2009. So it is better for me to pay the ETF and get the new discount. I asked why they could do the pricing last year, but not this year, she claimed that it was all Apples call.
Please Apple, for everyones sake, release a joint statement with ATT that clearly lays out the upgrade path. The treatment that iPhone customers are receiving in this deal seems very un-apple-like.
To elaborate a bit: Your first iPhone 2G, that you bought in January 2008 was NOT a subsidized phone, you paid full price for it, so there was no waiting period to upgrade when you bought the iPhone 3G. The contract/process changed with the release of the iPhone 3G and you could buy it as a subsidized price, but this also meant you needed to pay off the subsidy to be eligible for an upgrade. This is the way the process works for ALL subsidized phones with ALL cell phone providers.
How much is the ETF for your account? If it is the full $175 you will come out $1 more to upgrade immediately and you will most likely have to change your phone number. Personally ask yourself if it is worth the money to wait 6 months?

Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

Apple: please finally fix the 8600m opengl issues!
When will the nvidia 8600m opengl issues finally be resolved?
Getting quite sick and tired of having to use the sdlmame software renderer this past half year of 10.5. The sdlmame opengl rendering worked fine under 10.4 and it works fine on 10.5 on different video cards, so it's definitely not the sdlmame opengl rendering code. Just a very incomplete opengl driver from apple.
To check/reproduce:
- make sure you have the latest xcode installed
- install the latest stable developer packages of sdl http://www.libsdl.org/
- download and build sdlmame from http://rbelmont.mameworld.info/?page_id=163
- download one of the free romsets from http://mamedev.org/
- run sdlmame using the software renderer: ./mame -rp /path/to/whereromset_wassaved <thedownloadedgame>
- run sdlmame using the opengl renderer: ./mame -rp /path/to/whereromset_wassaved -video opengl <thedownloadedgame>
The advantage of using opengl will be that the screen will be drawn faster, just too bad it is totally useless utter crap that is being output.

Apple: please reconsider EOL the flagship 17" MacBook Pro
Feedback I just left:
Please count my vote to restore the 17" MacBook Pro line to "current."
It is a huge mistake to discontinue the flagship 17", even if sales are poor compared to other laptops.
It makes Apple look like a lesser Dell not to carry the 17".
It also makes me really sad. Instead of getting a new 17" at the end of the year like I planned, I'll hold onto this, my third 17", until it dies. Bummer. Bummer. Bummer.
What? You even took it out of the "which model do you own" dropdown in the comments?
Please, please don't make such un-Apple-like decisions, unless you want to be just another tech company. You didn't get to have the largest market cap in the world by making the kind of decisions every other ordinary company does.
I'm a girl, and I have no trouble carrying the 17" MacBook Pro back and forth to work every day.Yes, I understand, Bob.
That's why my post starts with "Feedback I just left."
Perhaps I should have provided a link should any other 17" owners wish to send something similar.

Battery Life, Apple please tell me the Truth
I very recently replaced my iPhone 3G with the 3GS, not even a week old. The first day after I fully charged it with 2 hours of standby time it was down to 90%. After my first 10 minute call on my new phone, it was at 85%. So far my battery is about 50% by the end of my day, when my 3G would be about 85%. Please tell me what the problem is. I haven't changed my iPhone behavior since I bought the new one. I have everything off, except 3G, and I've tried every trick in the book, restored as new. I brought the phone into Genius bar and the guy told me that "unofficially" it is because of the way the OS manages the battery on the 3GS, and to wait for 3.1 to roll out instead of replacing my phone. I called Tech support and they said that its not the OS, its the battery and replace the phone. But I've read many similar post about the battery issue. I don't want to keep replacing my phone if I'm going to have the same issues. Does anyone get great battery life on their 3G S? What should I do? The store is an hour drive, and if Apple wont acknowledge the problem I'll trade my phone in for a new one every week until I get one that doesn't drain the battery on standby. I was promised better battery life on the 3GS, and I paid full price for it.
Don't worry Allan, I'll trade it in over and over again if I have to, just would like Apple to admit there is a problem.
I'm not worried - not in the least.
And you also provided this.
I don't want to keep replacing my phone if I'm going to have the same issues.
Apparently there is a battery problem with some 3GS iPhones but not with all, just as there were some problems with the 3G and first generation iPhone, but not with all. Every manufactured product has a percentage of component failures, which is what the warranty is for. This may be due to how firmware version 3.0 manages the battery with the 3GS, but the 3G runs the same firmware, so the same would likely be reported by the majority of 3G owners also who installed firmware update 3.0. If a battery management issue with firmware version 3.0 that affects 3GS iPhones only, more than likely the overwhelming majority of 3GS owners would be reporting the same if not all, which is not the case. If this was definitely a battery management problem with firmware version 3.0 that affects the 3GS only, Apple would probably not be exchanging any 3GS under warranty with a reported battery problem - telling those reporting the problem to wait for the next firmware update. -
Can Apple please listen to the users, here's my IPhone 3G Wish List :(
Wish apple could incorporate these...
General - Copy & Paste
SMS - need forwarding feature
MMS - it's not even there

Apple finally cleared up the self-installation of RAM
It turns out that I can install RAM myself without voiding the warranty. So, what's brand(s) should I go with? I don't want to pay $600 obviously, or I'd go with Apple's RAM. I'd like to stay under $350 (which seems to leave plenty of room for the higher cost hardware), but don't want to trade quality for savings. QUALITY is necessary, but savings would be nice. Also, does anyone know of a decent quality ESD grounding unit to use.? This is only going to be used for swapping the memory, so it doesn't have to be high-end.
While you don't reaaly need a device to get your electro static discharge sorted here is cheap one anyway:
http://www.specialized.net/Specialized/Ideal-STATGARD-ESD-Grounding-Plug-3741.as px
I have forgotten how many ram's I have changed and have never used one nor have I burnt a ram module for that matter..just make sure you touch a metal water tap or something like that to get the charge of yourself if any before touching the rams ..Unplug your machine and remove it's battery if you can .Press it's power button shortly to short the power circuit and get any charge off of there as well .
And for the rams if you mention how big and what kind of a setup you are after I might be of more help ..for example 2 x 2 GB DDR3 1066 etc ...
Also specifying for which machine they are intended will certainly help -
In addition, My 2nd generation Ipod touch will not snyc anything from my laptop because "the required files cannot be found" I thought a new aplle ID would fix this, but now I cannot even acces the Itunes store. I have had it with this. Somebody tell me how to fix it.
To migrate your iCloud data from one account to another (including calendars), sign into the old account (unless you already are), then save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Then sign into the new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
If you only want to migrate your calendars, sign into the old account, then to go Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars Off, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then tap Delete Account, provide your password and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (to delete the other iCloud data from the phone). Then sign into the new account and choose Merge to upload your calendars to the new account. -
The AppleTV SCART mess, part 2. Working converter?
Wonder why the thread went locked?
Anyways..The SCART mess is IMHO boiled down to:
Sabaoth (starter) wrote:
There's something I can't really understand about this big problem with AppleTV and SCART connections in Europe->I don't know why customers without high definition TVs have to mess around buying expensive YPbPr to RGB transcoders.
Ljungbergarn (me) tought ATV had RGB out (wrong, and I am far frpm not alone here in EU) The "RGB" out is NOT RGB, it is (?) YPbPr (also called "Y/Pb/Pr", "YPrPb", "PrPbY", "B-Y R-Y Y" and "PbPrY") and since I am not a rocket-scientest
(as many others who bought ATV) I can not get ATV to work with my European fat TV.
Ian Parkinsson wrote:Apple do NOT state anywhere that the output is RGB, they clearly state 'Component Video'.<->
Correct. but again..I only looked at the connections looked like RGB.
My mistake, not knowing all these weird connectionsnames and that Apple did not take notice of EU tv´s are working.
MADIMAGE wrote (and put the finger right on the spot)
The question is, why is not AppleTV offering a RGB
output mode? This conversion could be easily done
at the driver level in the embedded OS X AppleTV
ships. All TVs with standard SCART connections
could display AppleTV video signals, without
requiring expensive convertors with external power
supplies; not to mention all the confusion concerning
standard definition TV support. Many users are
spending hours and hours reading forums and product
hints to find a solution.
In my opinion, adding RGB support from inside AppleTV
is just a matter of doing some easy math with the
signal before sending it to the output. It makes no
sense to disregard this solution, considering that
AppleTV is being shipped in Europe, where RGB is the
video standard - or at least it has been for a long
time <->
RC-R wrote:The "problem" is that Apple TV is not designed for standard TV's.
<->
How true...
AppleTVfan wrote:In Europe these kinds of TVs have been sold with SCART and composite or s-video inputs, but never with component inputs.<->
True again. So Apple did make a mess as Sabaoth said not thinking how TV´s are made in EU. (thanks Apple!! Grrr)
Now when we know that ATV demands a modern "US" tv is the question for us who has A: a European TV or B: a TV without HDMI or Composite.
THE HAMA Video converter did not work:
http://www.hama.de/portal/articleId113956/action*2563/searchMode*1/bySearchvideo+converter
It converts:
- YUV (Cinch in) in RGB + Sync (Scart out)
- YUV (Cinch in) in RGBHV (5 x Cinch out)
- YUV (Cinch in) in RGBHV (15-pol. HDD)
- RGB (Scart in) in RGBHV (5 x Cinch out)
- RGB (Scart in) in RGBHV (15-pol. HDD)
None if this worked! (of cource)
here is the the answer from HAMA:
Dear Mr. Ljungberg,
thank you very much for your e-mail.
The Component-input (YUV) of the Video Converter 2-3 is able to handle interlaced signals up to 576i and progressive signal up to
576p. These signals are converted to Scart-RGB an are availabel on the Scart RGB-out of the converter. So because you want to make a
connection to a TV-set with Scart-RGB input you have to take attention to the supported signals of a Scart-RGB input of any TV set.
The TV set will only accept interlaced signals up to 576i. If you setup your Apple TV to any progressive signal or to any interlaced
signal higher than 576 i you will see corrupted picture or no picture on the TV screen.
To make shure that your TV set is able to display the signal without any problem, you will have to setup your Apple TV to 576i
output, all other setups are wrong and will cause corrupted picture.
After you have connected the Apple TV and switsch it on the first time, the setup will start automatically, this setup also includes
the setup of the picture format. It is alos possible to start this setup manually at any time. To do this, press and hold down the
"Menu"-key and the "+"-key togetehr for about 6 seconds. Apple TV will now start to switch slowly between the different picture
resolutions. As soon as it it setup to a resolution that is supported from yout TV set, you will se the Apple Logo clearly on the TV
screen, click the "OK"-key at this moment, to stop the searching procedure. To exit this menu, press and hold down the "Menu"-key
until the Apple TV mainmenu is shown.
For some TV sets there may be need to setup the Scartinput manually to RGB-mode, please refer to the TV manual. TV sets with more
than one Scartinput usually will have only one Scartinput that is able to handle an RGB-signal. Please refer to the manual or the
menu of the TV set for this.
Cables with poor shielding quality may cause interferences and so the picturre quality will not be very good. We recommend to use
cables with seperately shieldes wires ony, please do not use cables with only one common shield for all wires together.
With good quality cables and the Video Converter 2-3 you can reach a cable length of up to 30 meters with perfect picture quality.
Since the Apple TV is available, many customers are using our Video Converter. Until today only a couple of problems appeared. In
any case the problem was solved by seting up the correct picture format 576i on Apple TV and using high quality cables.

Buying a ATV is asking for headache (IMHO)
NOW IS THE QUESTION; WHAT CONVERTER WILL WORK?
Old G5 Duo 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2GB RamOla,
If it is any consolation to you, many people all over the world are confused by the many different video standards & connection methods used for different video formats. SCART was one of several attempts at an "everything" connector to simplify things for consumers, but since it was developed almost 30 years ago, long before digital TV, HDTV, & electronic content protection became a reality, it is inadequate for today's needs.
The same is true for older TV's, & this is not limited to one part of the world but is -- or soon will be -- the case pretty much everywhere. This is not the fault of Apple or any other equipment maker. If you are looking for something to blame for this, blame the march of technology, which both demands & makes possible more efficient & flexible use of the ever more crowded TV channel spectrum available around the world.
Put simply, all major, technologically advanced countries are switching to digital TV. Because its benefits cannot be fully realized while analog broadcasts continue, all these countries either have or are contemplating turning off analog broadcast TV transmissions after some transition period. For example, in the US all analog TV broadcasts will be turned off by Feb. 17, 2009. (For other countries, see the Wikipedia's Analogue switch-off entry.)
What this amounts to is the first worldwide effort to move from a number of incompatible TV standards, each based on regional electrical standards over half a century old, to a single set of flexible standards suitable for everyone, whether they want HDTV, SDTV, or a mix of both. This should be a good thing in the long run, but for now it means a huge amount of TV equipment is about to be rendered obsolete.
Moreover, most consumers (regardless of where they live) can no longer assume new & old gadgets will work together without converters that will themselves eventually become obsolete.
With this in mind, it makes sense to decide if a converter or a replacement TV is the better value. -
Ipod not connecting again, apple please read this.
First let me state that I made posts awhile back about my Ipod touch not being able to be recognized by itunes at all and just as a camera by windows. Now every single guide did nothing to help and the FEW people that posted had posted things I already did that did not help.
HOWEVER the version of Itunes that was prior to the one I just downloaded connected PERFECTLY with no issues.
But I just updates and wouldnt you know it, the connection problem is BACK. Apple please read this, the last version of Itunes had something different with how it connected to the Ipod...PLEASE bring that back, its so inconvenient not being able to connect to my own Ipod
If someone wants to post a reply that might help feel free...but everything on this website and even a few others not posted here have not worked, this is mostly me praying that Apple reads it...that tiny difference on how it connected made a huge difference with my computer.Thanks. I worked out a simpler method of turning off the internet access - just switching off my wireless modem. Either way, this works and with the PC not connected to the internet, all three Apple devies will sync.
Thinking about it now, I had a similar problem a few versions ago which I recognised because with Home Sharing on and connected to the internet iTunes was trying to find files from someone in another hotel room who also sharing the hotel's wireless network. My devices would not sync then either. This seemed to be resolved with subsequent itunes upgrades until now ....
Thanks for the advice. Let's hope Apple's next 'update' actually updates itunes so it can sync Apple devices whilst simultaneously connected to the internet (not a big ask really). -
Hulu, Netflix and my personal videos have been working fairly well on appletv. Suddenly, without warning, they have all failed. My subscription via my apple ID is on automatic renewal, so the issue of non-paid services does not arise. On the other hand, YouTube is working perfectly well on appleTV.
Several solutions offered in the discussion group such as setting the appletv on sleep mode are not technical solutions. Rather, these solutions offered remind me of analogue age, when one had to hit the side of a TV set when reception failed.
In my case, I am using the same HD TV set that has been working all along. A new cable has failed, but if I am told to pay for an advice related to a fault that is not mine, I would rather buy a set box that is void of appletv or apple.
Apple please give a clear, well defined technical solution on the problem with your device, and to be specific on the following error:
"This content requires HDCP for playback"
I know what HDCP is, and one cannot say that this is related to a dynamic code that evolves with time, failing at a time of its convinience.It is considered rude to double post on a fourm.

I regularly get e-mails (which appear to be legit upon intense scrutiny) from Apple regarding the request for a reset of my Apple ID. Given how often and the timing of these e-mails (spead out and not bunched up like it would be for someone who actually mistook my ID for their own), it is clear that someone is making a serious effort to break into my account (and logically millions of other accounts). Would someone at Apple please take just as serious steps to locate these scumbags and put them down?
Thank you.Thank you.
I've submitted the feedback where you've suggested. I hope someone will takw the problem seriously because there may come a day when the e-mails will end and my bank account will just get emptied by some cracker* who has found a flaw in the system and exploited it.
*This is the correct term, "hacker" is a style of programmer, while a "cracker" cracks computer-based security. Blame the Media and Hollywood for getting the terms wrong. -
Ever since I updated to ios 6 on my iPhone 4S, iTunes Match has not worked.
I have been through the process of deleting my iTunes control files, and that worked temporarily, but now I cannot listen to music through the service.
It shows my artists and albums, then takes forever to access the songs (often more than 10 minutes - and yes, that's using WiFi), more often than not crashing before it gets to that point, then repeatedly crashing when I try to open the Music App, so I can't even access things I've downloaded.
Has anyone else found a solution?
Apple, please listen up - I am paying you for the iTunes Match service that is utterly useless. Fix it please.After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery. I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on.
Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.
She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old).
After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.
I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it-
