Apple should give us a free iPhone 5 for those affected by this crazy outage!

OK, I'm not going to hold my breath, but Apple needs to do something cool for those of us who have gone without email for so long this time.

Look at that...APPLE'S BIG FALL.
I have 8 years of contacts both business and personal linked to this account and I'm incredibly too busy to be without mail. So thanks, Apple. Maybe with today's announcement you'll tell us we're about to start getting charged for our accounts once again.
Please stick to the truth, iCloud is hardly a year old, you have NOT been paying for it for 8 years and by electing to use a free system for your business you have clearly shown how little value it represents to you.
Backup your account then change to one that provides what you need.

I have all of my music on my dad's apple ID (on my Macbook pro and iphone). I want to start using my own apple ID (the one that my iPhone uses for everything except iTunes store) as my iTunes apple ID - how do I do this without losing my old music?

Authorize your computer with your Dad's AppleID.

Apple should make a server hardware/OS with iOS level security. This could compete well with the breach infested pre secure OS/hardware server systems like Windows Linux OSX. It should be structurally immune to phishing etc

Apple should make a server hardware/OS with iOS level security. This could compete well with the breach infested pre secure OS/hardware server systems like Windows Linux OSX. It should be structurally immune to phishing etc and could be sold easily as a secure alternative. It should be based on structural hardware based security as has been demonstrated in the iOS operating system and the hardware should be made in secure facilities in the US. Those Chinese put weaknesses into the hardware they make as has been documented on 60 minutes.

Apple's entry in the server market has come and gone - is there a question in there somewhere?

If I buy an unlocked and contract-free iPhone 4s for my T-mobile, do i need to cut my sim.

If I buy an unlocked and contract-free iPhone 4s for my T-mobile sim, do i need to cut my sim.

Beyond what had been said about unlocked phones and limitations of iPhones on the T-Mobile network, T-Mobile appears to sell microSIMs:

I am not a T-Mobile customer so best to call them and ask.

My screen won't work, i have tried turning it off but i cant swipe the power down button because my screen doesnt work. I have only had my iphone 4s for one day and this has happened, someone please help me.

My screen won't work, i have tried turning it off but i cant swipe the power down button because my screen doesnt work. I have only had my iphone 4s for one day and this has happened, someone please help me.

Did the trick! Not sure what I did to cause the screen to go numb, but this worked perfectly!!! I cleaned the screen and must have inadvertently selected something that locked the screen. This perfect solution kept me from having to run to the Apple Store. Many thanks.

Will the Apple Store give me a replacement iPhone 6 the one i have now has a clicking noise when you press on the screen. I have only had it for about 8 weeks is it a manufacterin fault or what.

My iPhone 6 has a clicking sound coming from the top left of the device as if its no aligned properly with the frame.
Ive only had it for about 2 months, the iphone its self is in pristine condition no bumps or scrapes, in fact i treat it
like a new born baby. Will the apple store give me a new replacement or i am wasting my time i have got a clue
never had this or any problem before with iPhone's before. Its not something you want having paid £620 i live
in the UK.

If they determine the sound to be a manufacturing defect, then yes, they will replace your iPhone with a refurbished unit of identical specs. The replacement will have the same warranty as your original iPhone, for as long a time as what is left on your iPhone's warranty at the time of exchange.

HT204368 Apple should be ashamed to launch iPhone 5 without checking whether the Bluetooth is working they are fooling people.The iphone 5 does not discover jawbone Bluetooth at all iPhone 5 use to it is very bad on the part of Apple

As I mentioned Apple should take immediate steps to see that they correct this grave mistake with Bluetooth pairing since it is the least they could have tested before they launch this useless model .immediate means in 12 hrs the least they can do

Bluetooth works with headset and Nissan bluetooth here.
With what model Jawbone are you having a problem? What have you
tried to resolve the problem? What is the exact wording of
any error message you received? Have you looked at the Jawbone
fora for suggestions?

Bash: Apple should continuously support Bash update 1.x for all prior-Snow Leopard OS X and Servers

I don't see any reason why Apple should ignore all pior-Snow Leopard OS X and Servers' Bash Update 1.0.
In my work environment, I have a mixture of Unix servers (from the old to the latest). Now, all Unix machines are vulnerable to Shellshock. It is worse than heartbleed bug. Why do Apple still let crackers have chance to attack those old Apple machines and Xserves? For God's sake, please provide Bash updates to them all. This is a historical glitch. Poor users had no choice of what version of Bash to install or remove at the time. Their securities are on Apple's hand. Apple has the responsibility to fix it.
Put it another way, on May 1, 2014, despite the end of support for the Windows XP (April 8, 2014, over 12 years since its long release), Microsoft released an emergency patch to correct a major, recently discovered security exploit in the Internet Explorer browser on all versions of Windows.
If Microsoft can do it, why Apple cannot do it better?

Don't tell us. Tell Apple.

All of my music disappeared after downloading 2 songs from ITunes. Now my library is empty on my IPhone except for those 2.

All of my music on the library disapperead when I downloaded the free Justin Timberlake album from the 12 days app today. I normally use our family's Apple ID because thats where we have the credit card info to purchase stuff. There was an error today while using that Apple ID as our credit card was canceled so i could not use it because we owed like $3. So I used mine instead to download the free album. I signed out of my family's ID and used mine to download the JT music. I thought everything went great until i started 'playin' my music and I could not find anything! Except for those two songs that I barely like. I signed out of my Apple ID, nothing happened. I closed the music app, again, nothing. I performed a reset, nothing. I cannot seem to get my music back. This has never happened before. I am currently traveling abroad and my laptop is back home, so I cannot sync my IPhone. Anyway to soultion this? I am absolutely getting more frustated with my Apple product every hour.
Anything I can do to get my music back before resorting to my laptop which is thousands of miles away? Help me get my music back.
P.S. In memory usage, beside the Music app which is suppposed to say like 4GB, currently is says No Data.
Thanks in advance.

HI Jazzy, caveat first. I'm not hugely experienced with iTunes and syncing music, BUT, I think the problem is your switch of Apple ID. The music you had before 'belongs' the the previous family AppleID. When you switched ID, then iTunes didn't associate the new ID with the old music list.
Try this:
Log back in with the family ID. Either change the credit card number to your own, or add your credit card to the family one. You should be able to delete it later when you have finished. Then you should be able to download the Justin Timberlake album to the family account.
My suspicion is that by logging back in with the original ID, all the music should be back.

Jammed iphone 4 button, can i ask apple to give me a white iphone 4 instead ?

???

This would be accidental damage that is not covered by warranty. So if you opt for the out of warranty repair for 200 then will still exchange it for the same device. Still will be black.
I doubt Apple would call that accidental damage unless the screen were broekn or there were obvious signs of abuse. Take it in to Apple and if the home button is malfunctioning, they will most likely replace your iPhone under warranty, but it won't be replaced with a white one.

How long does business catalyst give you 5 free hosting sites for?

BC advertises that you can host with them for free on 5 sites. How long can you host for free?

The free sites that you host with BC will be sync. with your subscription.
So basically it is connected with your subscription account , site expiration depends upon the subscription expiration.
Thanks,

Is the "free iPhone" on Instagram for real?

I saw on Instagram that if you follow FREEIPHONEGIVEAWAY! You will get a free iPhone 5... Is this a real apple employee or a scam?

Scam. Why would Apple do that.

Apple doesn't seem DRM-free to me

For many years I used to buy music from a robust Moscow site (mp3sparks), where songs were way cheaper than iTunes. I wasn't drawn by cost savings but because the music was DRM-free. I wasn't thrilled with doing this given U.S. trade representative's complaints on behalf of the U.S. music industry. Then I heard things you buy on iTunes today are DRM free. Safe and legal, supporting my beloved Apple and being fair to artists, I was all for it, and I changed my evil ways. Now, two songs from one album I bought from iTunes last week (March 2013, well into DRM-free iTunes) I'm having trouble playing from a Mac in a different room, and it makes me wonder if I was misled by all the PR about Apple being DRM free. Why is it asking me to authorize to another computer if it is DRM free? And I'm stuck in the won't-authorize loop (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389) where after a Get-Info track check on which account purchased it, I log in correctly but it says "this computer is already authorized" and yet still won't play them.
So thinking it must be a technical error, I'll see if I can't re-download them from iTunes direct onto this second computer but from my Apple ID. I get an alert popping up, "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. If you download past purchases with your Apple ID, you cannot auto-download past purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days."
Really? This is Apple's idea of ending DRM protection? Oh Moscow, I think I faintly hear your siren song. OK, so a serious question here… looking for a philosophical answer, not a technical one. A household with two users with different laptop iTunes purchasers, but one server computer powering the hi-fi and network-served library. What's Apple rationale in maintaining all this authorization stuff, what that's that 90-day popup alert trying to protect Apple from in a DRM-free world?
(As I'm writing this, in came a message as long as this one from Katie, Senior iTunes Store Customer Support, and I'll try her solutions for the technical side. I gotta give Katie and Apple kudos for fast response.)

Update
I'm still not thrilled with the proprietary hooks, but I did get more helpful insight from iTunes support. I will never know why two cuts on an album wouldn't behave properly for a 2-user-family situation with several computers and two Apple IDs, but it may have been the universe reacting to my wife's unpleasant music tastes ("The Music of SMASH"). Nevertheless I have left the situation with a slightly better understanding of my situation from helpful Katie in Apple support, this business with the 90-day lockout.
Bottom line: think of it as two different things, authorization versus association. Or more specifically, iTunes song authorization versus computer association with your Apple ID.
Key concept: Association is required to use certain iCloud features such as automatic downloads, re-downloading songs, and iTunes Match. I was deep into iTunes Match when I first recognized the no-play problem and got stuck inside a reauthorization loop. And part of my solution to straightening out my SMASH cuts <wince> was re-downloading, apparently thrusting me hip deep into the Association policy.
I admit I don't completely grasp practical application of all implications of this, but here's a restatement of the 90-day lockout policy as it was explained to me: Each device or computer can only be associated to one Apple ID at a time, and association can be changed once without causing any problems. HOWEVER, once association is initially switched you will be unable to change the device association for 90 days. The device can be removed from your associated device list, but the 90 day restriction remains (there may be extenuating circumstances warranting an exception).
You can get more info on your situation from your iTunes..
    1.    Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
    2.    Choose Store > View My (AppleID) Account
    3.    From the Account Information screen, click the Manage Devices line
Next to each device or computer name, you will be able to see when each was associated to your Apple ID. You will also be able to track how many days are remaining before your associated devices. More info: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
Hope that helps the next guy trying to re-download a malfunctioning iTune and exasperated with this 90-day lockout threat.

Apple should make something where you can enter your apple devices serial number and find where it is so that when its lost or stolen it can be retrieved easily, the only negative i can think of is people can be injured. Then again thers always lawyers

My i pod touch was stolen about a week ago. Ive been looking for ways to find it and its been pretty hopless. I have owned 7 i pods in the last 5 years and they have all been stolen, I guess you could say im pretty unresponsiblle but I prefer to call it unfortunate. There should be some type of website where you can just type the serial # of your i pod and it could use google maps or something the track it down. I mean what age are we in, I'm sure if cars can drive them selves there should be no problem to construct an i pod traking app. I dont thing lawsuits are a good excuse either. America has the best justice system in the world and i dont think they be to agaist my idea. And if media were on our sides then CNN would on it like whie on rice. there word is very persuasive to people all over the world and everyone watches it. i know I'm just venting but something needs to be done to end the madness! I dont wana buy another I pod. i wana buy accessories for my i pod.

Apple provides the Find My feature through iCloud for those that want to take advantage of it. But to go further would most likely create invasion of privacy issues and raise legal concerns for Apple. Only police have the statory authority to track and that requires court orders. This comes up repeatedly when users loose objects, but Apple continues to say they do not track or attempt to find the lost objects.

After having my iphone 4 for over a year, the front screen cracks :(

So after having my Iphone 4 for over a year and purchasing the apple CARE protection plan, apple is acting as if they do not care about me and my phone. I have never traded in my phone and never had a problem with it until now. My screen is cracked and when i tried to go to the store to get it fixed, all they tell me is sorry you have to get a new phone for $199. My husband and iI are a huge apple fans. We have a mac book, mac mini, ipad 1 and 2 and 2 iphone4s. We are very loyal to Apple, but after this experience, I don't see how i can continue to be. I purchased the apple care plan and thought i would be able to use it since i never had a problem with my phone but they proved me wrong. I didn't want to have to purchase a whole new phone with the iphone 5 coming out because i plan to purchase that in the first shipment. I'm so disapointed and heart broken. I don't know what to do. I wanna cry right now. When it rains it pours. Just disapointed that this had to happen with APPLE!!!! and now i'm reading some of these responces and learning that some people have gotten their phones changed for FREE?!?!?!?!?!? What's up with that? I feel apple should give everyone one OOPS clause. and after that then you have to fend for yourself especially if we have to pay for a protection plan that we will not use or will not transfer to another phone.
So disapointed

Apple Care is an extended warranty, NOT an insurance plan. Ford isn't going to fix your car for free when it gets wrapped around a tree.
With the advent of the iPhone 4S and AppleCare+, the geniuses at the Apple Stores lost the freedom to replace damaged phones at their discretion.
There is no "oops" clause in the warranty. If you've paid for Apple Care, that coverage will transfer to a replacement phone, provided you pay Apple for the out of warranty replacement.

Apple should give us a free iPhone 5 for those affected by this crazy outage!
