Apple's Social Network?

Hello again,
I am looking to leave Facebook, especially since it will be owned by or already is owned by microsoft. I am interested in locating Apple's own Social Network, I am aware of our very own "Ping" for music.
Thank you again for any assistance in this area.
Mohegan

Thank you everyone for responding. To clarify my recent comment about Microsoft taking over or possible buying out Facebook or even helping FB. I read so many articles and misspoke myself and here is one article I read about this.

I will clarify next time, for this is how I would like it to be, however I am still in favor of an Apple Social Network and will support any effort in this regard...

Why is Apple focusing on networking and connecting socially?

Seeing the newest OS come out this week made me very excited! I was hoping to upgrade today, but changed my mind on a few reasons...
It doesn't seem very different then Lion, so is it really worth the $20.00? All they've really added, on the surface of the OS, is more iOS features like reminders, game-center, and notifications. They also added easer access to social networks like facebook, twitter, flikr; and connect to your iOS devices. Is this all really necessary or is it just typical advertising to draw in the average buyer?
Now I see Apple is trying to make life easer on it's buyers, but where is the artistic improvements in the app's, sure you can share your photographs that you edited in iPhoto, or a video you spliced together in iMovie, but what about a NEW creative application, like an animation program that apple makes specifically for its computers, or a type of web designer that lets you design in HTML format? So, how I see it, in the beginning Apple computers where made for the artistic type, Today they seem to be in too big a rush to stay ahead of Windows then to try something different. To get to my point, what's new? Not improved, what's NEW?!
I am looking for a reason why this program is worth buying?
Thanks,

Yes, the focus with ML is certainly on trying to get people who have iOS devices to switch to using Apple computers.
For long-time devotees of OS X like us, there's not much in it. Snow Leopard was still a far more versatile and more widely compatible OS than either 10.7 or 10.8. If you're on 10.6.8. I would think twice about upgrading.
However, I think if you're on 10.7 already, it's worth upgrading to 10.8, simply because ML seems to be more stable and more refined. They have fixed some of the annoying things in Lion (like you can now put Devices back to the top of the Finder sidebar, Resume is turned off by default, 'Save As' has been resurrected, Launchpad actually has a filter bar etc etc.). Some of the apps are better too - some nice new features in Preview for editing and Safari has an all-in-one address/search bar).
More features are advertised explained here: http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html

Will Apple ever create their own social network?

We need Apple to create social network like blackberry network (BBM) but in apple way ;)
Create app for exampl iapple for all apple device to connect each other

They kind of tried with iTunes "ping". I'm not a big iTunes users so I don't know how successful it is. Apple's strategy is to stay out of areas where they can't be the best and that strategy is working very well for them. Twitter and Facebook are peaking now. Once they start their inevitable downward slide Apple may see an opportunity to enter that market. Hopefully they will stay out of the advertising arena. Apple prefers to sell products to consumers and add as much value as they can to their products. In advertising, you are the product being sold to advertisers. Apple doesn't do that business and I hope it stays that way.

When i back up an iphone on itunes does it save my social network passwords and stuff so when i connect another phone and sync it it'll all be there and i won't have to sign into everything again?

when i back up an iphone on itunes does it save my social network passwords and stuff so when i connect another phone and sync it it'll all be there and i won't have to sign into everything again? because, i don't know most of my passwords im just signed in to everything on my phone but i'm getting a new one.
please help

Hey menaelraghy,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines what is backed up, you may be interested in this section:
iTunes: About iOS backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
- Keychain (includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some applications)
If you encrypt the backup, you can transfer the keychain information to the new device. With an unencrypted backup, you can restore the keychain only to the same iOS device. If you're restoring to a new device with an unencrypted backup, you need to enter these passwords again.
Thanks,
Matt M.

The Social Networks app for N8 needs an update

The social networks app for N8 is OK, but one very critical example is that you can't see notifications on facebook, which basically is one of the most important things, to be able to see how people have directly interacted with you.
What's nice about an update like this is that it wouldn't need to be included in a firmware update, it could be a separate update for just this app.
What do you think needs to be improved?

Hi...
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
You won't lose any data or media as a result of a reset.
If that didn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings then restart your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

Is there a social network for iMessage users?

I do not have any contact on my iMessage and therefore rarely use.
Do not think that would be a funny a sort of portal / social network for Mac users and / or iMessage, where each member would have their profile, where would share photos, their tastes, including your apple id so we can more easily exchange messages between the Mac community and through any device, be it Mac, iPhone, iPod, iPad?

Hi,
I would think there would be an issue with a place that was listing Apple IDs online.
With Jabber or AIM if someone gets hold of your Screen Name or ID then you can block them in the other services.
I have enough AIM screen names from people who have tested with me to worry about gathering a whole bunch of new ones.
Whether someone has set up a Google Group or similar I am not aware.

How do I use the address book feature which allows you to connect your contacts to their social networking profiles? (in Lion)

When I look up the 250+ new features of Mac OSX Lion, under address book, there's a new feature that interests me.
"Address Book lets you quickly access the social network profiles for your contacts, including Facebook. Press and hold an email address to select the appropriate profile."
Somehow I can't get it to work. What do I do?

Make sure it's on the Template (see the entry for Twitter):
Then update the contact with the relevant info.
For Twitter you can then click and hold the Twitter tag to either View Profile or Send Tweet.

Colin R.

701 Mail, Calendar, Social network and Web bug.

Hello
im pretty satisfied with my 701 but just right now i started to experience bugs. let me explain
Calendar- sometime (always when i go through widget) when i open a calendar, it opens a speciffic day (the one that is actual), and im unable to select month or any other view point, and i cannot see any of my notes in the calendar until i restart my phone.
Mail- widget sometimes doesnt refresh inbox even though i have it set on 15 mins. (happend last time for a week. thought i had no mail, instead i found 10 new messages.) also sometimes my mailbox wont open using widget, only with a normal Email icon.
Social network just doesnt want to open at all. says (in translation something like "Unable to launch the client"
Web- even though i have 3g network signal and mobile data are turned ON, opera mobile, and Web client (the nokia one) both cannot connect to the internet for some time.
i tried backing up my phone data (not applications only galery, phonebook, music, ebooks etc and videos) and erasing (reseting) my settings. when i turned my phone on again, it asked me to enter time, date, my nokia account etc. as if i just bought the phone. then i loaded my backup files. email looks like its working again, calendar got stuck just today again... social network still doesnt work, web still cannot connect to 3g network sometimes..
dunno what else to try, starting to be little angry, since calendar and web are the things i use more often then sms and calls.
is this common? will there be an update to fix this? or is there a simple solution to my prob?
i would add an attachment supplying info about my phone but i have no idea where to get such file.
thanks for help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No problems here!
Any way the Feature Pack 1 will solve those problems ...

Can you connect an Apple TV to a non-Apple Wi-Fi network?

I just purchased an AirPort express with the hopes of using it for AirTunes while being controlled by my iPhone 3G as the remote. After a number of setup issues Apple support told me that I need an Apple wireless router if I want to use AirTunes and surf the internet at the same time. AirPort express can't join an existing non-Apple Wi-Fi network, it needs to create it's own one. (This means I have to disconnect from my internet connection in order to listen to AirTunes.) Does Apple TV have this same limitation, or can you just connect Apple TV to an existing non-Apple Wi-Fi network? (I'm pretty sure that Apple TV has AirTunes too.)
My AT&T U-verse already provides me with a wireless base station; I don't want to have to purchase another one and have redundant routers.

yes of course.
you can connect it to any wifi network (assuming you know the wifi key of course).
the host itunes library will need to be accessible on that network though.

Social Networking Motorblur widget slows phone down, having to reset at least once a day now....

It seem, during the last couple of weeks, when I'm flipping through my Social Networking Motoblur widget, the windows move very slowly, and sometimes after going through 50 - 100 of them, the widget resets itself and starts back at the first one you viewed.....very frustrating, then they go very slowly and the pics take forever to catch up. Eventually, I have to restart my phone and then they work as they did when the phone was new, fast and efficiently. I wouldn't complain about it if it happened once every couple of weeks or so, but it happens 1 - 2 times a day. The last time I had to reset a phone this often, I had a HTC Touch Pro 2 with Windows Mobile 6.5!?!?!?!?! Is anyone else having the same issue? Since I downloaded the last Android update, I'm resetting my phone a lot more now. If anyone here has any idea's please let me know.

I have provided some information below that may help.
Step 1. Check the device's memory. (Ensure the device's internal memory is not lower than 30mb remaining)***If so, you may need to remove some applications that are not native to the device.
http://support.vzw.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=30057
Step 2. PureSteelHeart’s recommendation of clearing the temporary internet and cookie files. The instruction below is using the native programs on the device ***These steps can also be done with non-native apps.
http://support.vzw.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=30058
Step 3. Try resetting the MotoBlur (social network) application data. (This will require you to log back in after the application is reset.)
http://support.vzw.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=34832
Step 4. Try removing the widget and re-adding it.
Step 5. Complete a soft reset.
-Power the device off
-Remove the battery for 20 seconds
-Place the battery back in
-Power the device back on.
Step 6. Hard reset. ***Performing a hard reset will remove ALL data including the Google account, system data, application data, application settings, and downloaded applications. Only perform this reset if absolutely necessary.
