Apple software developers please read

Many people have converted their personal spreadsheets to numbers to take them on the go. You need to give an option to password protect the numbers program. If someone steals or if I misplace my iPad, I do not want others to have access to my spreadsheets!
Please insert an option to password protect numbers!

I wonder if the apple software developers can come up with a password input before you switch your phone to airplane mode?

Could this be a solution to making your phone less prone to be stolen and easier to find in such case?
Just asking.

Apple Windows iTunes Developers: Please Read

Seriously, as a professional software engineer, can I BEG you to read http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/s3w9x78e(VS.80).aspx. Its really not a difficult function, ALL, and I MEAN ALL of your I/O belongs in a THREAD! You can use http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9tdesxec(VS.80).aspx to update your progress dialogs. Its THAT simple. Yes, it is. Read it again, and again, and again, heck heres, a highly oversimplified example!!! Yes, feel free to use any of that...There is NO GOOD REASON as a WINDOWS APP to grab the focus EVERY 10 SECONDS! Thats just a hack to prevent windows from saying this program is not responding, and any developer sees right through it. Quit with the lazy programming, and put your I/O in a thread where it belongs (or I suppose ASynchronous I/O would be acceptable), and stop interrupting me every 10 seconds while my iPhone updates! Seriously!!! Knock Knock? Who's there? Interrupting Jeeves. Interrupting Jee....INTERRUPTING JEEVES!!!!!! yeah, iTunes is kinda like that, over and over and over again. Even better to note, the windows API for threads mostly maps pretty easily to POSIX threads, so you could do something VERY similar to the thread portion of that code, and have it work on both platforms. I've written thin POSIX layers for windows with some inline functions, and a lot of #defines. Or, you could just use a cross platform system like QT. Its LGPL now, it works on Mac OSX, Linux, and Windows, same code compiles on all three. You could easily bring iTunes to linux and open up a whole new market! That might be the smart thing to do....probably why I do stuff like this every single day...
Seriously though, and I mean seriously, PUT YOUR I/O IN A THREAD!!!!!!!!

Apple/Safari People Please Read -- Interface Language Gripe

The Apple/Safari people need to read this.
First, thank you for making Safari available for Windows. It's very nice, but could be better. Please address the following:
My native language is English. I live in Japan and use Windows XP Japanese version. My computers and I are bilingual. I choose which language to use for whatever function. I was pleasantly surprised with Safari 3.0.4, and hoped to see it develop into something better. It installed nicely in English. Safari 3.1 thinks it knows what language I want, but it's wrong. I want the English interface. Deleting the ja.lproj folders did not work -- it reset itself to Japanese. Please let us install the language version we want, regardless of the OS. I unfortunately won't be using Safari anymore until this is fixed.
While I'm at it: I noticed that 3.0.4 always automatically "sniffed out" (from the OS) any Japanese home site for big multi-language sites: Google, Yahoo!, etc. If we click a link to the English site, or type in the URL, we don't need software figuring out which language site we want to go to. We multi-lingual/expat-types know what pages we want and how to go there. Be like Firefox and don't decide for us. Please ignore the OS language. Please!
Also, when creating my Apple ID, I was given my choice of language -- Japanese. Because my address is here Japanese was the only language choice.
Once again, thanks; but please realize that we all don't fit in the cookie cutter group, and give us the freedom to choose our languages.

I totally agree.
I usually speak four languages, and choose depending the country I am in at the moment.
I want my Safari 3.1 to speak Italian now, I know it can as I can locate the it.lproj folders into the source folder. Still I can't choose, Safari does it for me and chooses English...
Very annoying.
I see this as a major overlook.

**BUG (workaround) Sluggish PRE (Palm software gurus - please read)

Not sure if the Palm Developers ever get on here and take a look at issues, but there is s STRANGE workaround found for a Pre that becomes sluggish.
Every so often the Pre will start slowing down and acting really jittery when trying to open/run applications. BUT if you go to your call history and Clear it out... the phone returns to working faster. It's really sad that it doesn't take many calls in the history to make the Phone application start lagging heavily, but to have the rest of the phone's applications speed up once the history is cleared is nothing but crazy.
I truly hope Palm addresses this whacked out bug soon because I'm sooo tired of having my phone slow down (it isn't that fast to begin with). This is by far the BEST phone I've ever owned, with WebOS being sheer genius. But please address the issue of call history affecting the speed of all applications.
Thanks!!

IPhone developers, please read...

If your question is specific to the iPhone, please clearly indicate that in the subject of your posting. The iPhone SDK is apparently quite different that the Mac API. A couple of times I have answered some questions incorrectly because I didn't know someone was working with the iPhone SDK. I have also seen the reverse, where someone answered a Mac question with an iPhone response that might not be appropriate.
Most of the time, I can tell right away that a question is about the iPhone and I can ignore it. I have nothing against the iPhone and I may play with it in the future. But for now, I'm clueless about it and I don't want to provide useless and incorrect answers.
Thanks

Additionally,
To post your code unaltered by the formatting you need to bracket your code like this:
{ code }
your code here;
{ code }
without the spaces near the brackets to get the desired effect.
foo = [self bar:foo];
Having your code correctly represented will help you immensely when asking people for help with debugging.
Also the correct place to report bugs and or make feature requests is: https://bugreport.apple.com
That is the only official feedback site that is guaranteed to get the issues in front of the people who actually work on the things you're reporting about. Even if you get a "Duplicate Report" message for every bug you file volume of reports about an issue can help move it to the top of the queue.
Apple does pay attention and track issues reported here - especially for beta releases - so good, clear, concise bug reports entered here helps everyone. However, if you are new to Cocoa please make sure that the problem actually lies with the thing you're reporting and not with your understanding of the thing you're reporting. Keeping the signal to noise ratio good will again help everyone involved.
Thanks for your attention,

ATTN:::Nightmare with Titanium Software Onyx Please read

I was doing some cleaning using Onyx and executed one of the auto scripts and sinsce then Logic Pro will not open - it goes as far as "Searching for Audio Unit Plug-Ins" and just freezes.
Here is what i have tried.....
Trashing Audio Unit and Logic Pro caches & preferences - Result - No Change
Holding CTRL and selecting no when asked to load Core Audio - Result - Logic opens but no Audio Unit Manager and any plug in marked has cross through it.
Opening Logic from a song file - Result - Song opens but all plug ins used have a line through them.
Removing Plug-ins from component folder - No Change
I remember that during one use of Onyx I selected delete Audi Unit Cache and on another reset launch services
has anyone else had this issue? I have searched the forums butcannot find this problem. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH ONYX as I would not want this happening to anyone else.
any advice very very welcome.
Ivan

Solution:: trash the cahce folder in both computer/library/cache and user/library/cache
do not tick the box for onyx to delete the audio unit cahce

View Link Bug! - JDEV Developers please read.

This has to be a bug. When I am done with my project for the day I check in the files into PVCS. After check in the files are deleted off my local drive. When I recheck out my project and do a rebuild on the project, I get several View link XML files that say that they are not correct. However when I pull them up in the editor and relink them, there is NO CHANGE to the XML file that stores the DEF. Below is a sample of one of the files. If I go into this view link with the visual editor and reselect the linking nodes, all is fine in JDEV.
Is this a bug that is being worked on for the next version?

Is ther an Apple software update server solution for a Microsoft environment?

My organization has more than 3000 Apple devices. Im trying to centralize mac sotware updates without adding a mac box. We are a Windows Server 2012 R2 environment. Thanks for all the help.

No, but there is a Linux one:

Repeat One!... developers of apple iPod and iTunes read this!

It’s not an issue I think anyone can help me with but I hope the developers of apple iPod and iTunes read this.
I am a full supporter and user of both iTunes and iPod…. But some things have always bugged me. :P
Repeat one
Can you please, for everyone’s sake, fix the repeat one function? Yes, when the ipod gets to the end of the song I want it to repeat the song ones more. But when I select next (>>) I’m sick of the song and wound like the next one. But instead it just starts over on the same track.
Today I have to click menu, scroll down and select play on the next song to move forward… meaning I actually have to take the iPod out of my pocket and see what I’m doing.
iTunes music library.
Another thing which would have been practical in these holiday times would be a separate music library function for iTunes. In other words be able to select, load and save different library for different usages.
Why you say?....
1.I don’t need my holyday Christmas songs clogging up my library in the summer.
2.When I do sound work for animations I like to have my sound FX and background music outside of my music list.
3.Some people are, (believe it or not), ashamed of some of their music and would like to store theme where no one can se them. Say I invite the boys over for some iron maiden and they end up finding my backstreet boys album. (yikes)
4.Say you have some very privet videos or sound books you don’t want your kids to here or see.
5.When I need background music for some tabletop role-playing I wand them in a separate list as well.
6.ETC
And before you say it… NO… play lists, and do not include in shuffle isn’t the solution…. neither is users. Have you even seen how terrible Microsoft user system works? (Yes I know get a MAC, but you can’t always play that card.)
This function really shouldn’t be difficult to make since you have the “iTunes Library.itl” file already.
This is just my opinion so fare, but if anyone agrees or disagrees; Pleas post a reply.
It’s all in good fun… As I said, I love my iPod and iTunes except for these issues. (Well I could talk about volume but… naaa, enough badgering for one night :P)
Best of days
