Apple Watch shipment window? 4/24 to 5/8

What gives? All of my pre orders for Apple products in the past have actually stated their delivery date. Does this mean Apple doesn't expect to deliver on April 24th and this is a way to cover themselves? People are going to be pretty upset if nobody actually gets their product on April 24th. Which, it looks like people won't be getting them then. Why else would you state delivery from 4/24 to 5/8. That's a pretty big 2 week window. Anyone have any ideas what is going on?

First off, I find it strange for Apple to have announced the Watch September saying only that it would be available in "early 2015".
And it is NOT truly available to more than a small subset of customers until June, which is undeniably mid-year. Stop and think about it - predictions of 2015 shipments are generally in the 20 million plus range. A hair under 1 million US pre-orders were taken on day one and a large portion of them were already slated for June delivery.
In my own case, having placed my order in the opening minutes of 4/10, getting a 4/24-5/8 shipping window, I still haven't gotten anything but some hokey email on 4/22 saying "they are "working" on my order". Obviously, that was their way of telling me that I wasn't getting anything on 4/24, yet for some reason they couldn't come right out and say it.

Apple watch shipments

hello everyone, I ordered the 42mm SS Milanese Loop Apple Watch April 10th with a confirmation email around 2:05 CST with a delivery window of 4/24 - 5/8.
I paid for the watch using apple pay and still haven't seen any charges come out of my account. I've been checking constantly my order page and it still is saying 'processing'. Is anyone else in the same boat?
It just ***** seeing everyone else statuses updating; even those who wasn't in the launch window changing to preparing for shipment.
Am i overreacting and maybe my watch just hasn;t been checked in or its most likely i won't be receiving it by friday.

Call your store and ask them. Nobody here will know....

Has anyone in the uk had a preparing for shipment email about there apple watch yet

has anyone in the uk had a preparing for shipment email about there apple watch yet ?

Hang in there Smurf ! Mine only updated 30 mins ago ( not that I was checking. Cough ! Cough! ).

Is there no pre-sign button on the Apple Watch shipping notification

I have received the shipping notification email from Apple. It says the shipment requires a signature. The usual "Pre-sign for this shipment" button is missing. Is there no way to leave a signature for UPS delivery of an APPLE WATCH? I have always been able to do that with iPhone and iPad UPS deliveries. This is a major hiccup.

I contacted Apple through the online live chat this morning, and the representative e-mailed me a copy of the pre-sign agreement for my watch order.
I just did a chat and got the following. So no pre-signing for me.
Because the Apple Watch is highly sought out, a signature is required. If you're not home when the courier attempts delivery, they'll leave a note on the door, and you can mention on the back of that note if you'd like them to leave the pakcage in a specific place!

Apple Watch Shipping Notices

Just curious if anyone has received a shipping notice yet for their Apple Watch If they were lucky enough to get an early delivery date (24th). I know if is probably a bit early but worth asking.
thanks

I got my order on on 4/10 at 12:03 PST - at least that is the time on the email from Apple acknowledging the pre-order. And no, as of this evening my status has not changed from Processing Your Order to Preparing for Shipment.
I sincerely doubt if anyone will see that update until at the earliest next week. And even if they do ship, Apple's policy in the past for new releases is that the shipping company does not deliver before the release date. (Now I am sure that there are some stories about a mistaken early delivery - or perhaps a hefty tip to the UPS or FEDEX driver......)

Apple Watch cannot synchronize contacts

Hi all,
My Apple Watch cannot synchronize all of my contacts - my favorite contacts are always empty after 4 days.
I have two iCloud accounts (one for my myself, one for family) for contact and the iPhone contact.
I found that it can only synchronize one of the iCloud accounts and the iPhone (itself) contacts; which it left my another iCloud accounts (onwith over 1500 contacts.
Is this a limitation of Apple Watch to synchronize only one iCloud accounts - can I force it to synchronize my another iCloud accounts?
Thanks.
Vincent

I am bloody livid. My synchronisation from N95 8GB to Outlook stopped working a few months back. I tried reinstalling the software but it warned me that there was a problem with the installation so I tried to close the modal window. A dialogue box came up saying it could not exit without damaging the phone so I let it complete and there was no marked difference - and the phone still would not sync.
I have been unable to synchronise/backup since then so, this morning I got an update software notice and assumed that would be a good move. The download started followed by the installation. The installation halted half way through telling me I was disconnected from the phone. I read the warning that says 'Do Not Disconnect' So I went out without my phone leaving it to do what it would do. On my return I found a Dialoge box telling me there was a problem with the installation.
My phone had cleared completely. Completely reset. No Calander, No Contacts, No Notes - all gone! And now? I still cannot synchronise with Outlook. I have a phone with no contacts and no means of getting them on other than manually
The problems this will cause me are immense. I suppose there is little anyone will do about this but I was delighted with the phone until this occurred. I am now trawling the net to see if comparitive competitors phones have synch problems because it would appear from this and similar threads that I am not alone with this problem.
I should have calmed down by now but I haven't. I am bloody angry.

HT4436 how to login Icloud with apple ID on windows 7

how to login Icloud with apple ID on windows 7

If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on each device, yes. However, you can use the same Apple ID for iTunes content on each device, but different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc., on each device. That way, you can have whatever iTunes content you want on each phone, but keep all of the other data separate. You can create another Apple ID here:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US
Must be a verified email address.

Can you sync the apple watch to more than one phone?

Say I wanted to leave my phone at home. Could I sync my apple watch to my husbands phone but still get my texts etc???

If you're within about 20-30 feet, sync will be via Bluetooth. If the phone is on a wifi network, you can be farther away: exactly how far varies according to the quality of wifi, walls etc.

My "regular guy" impressions of using the Apple Watch for a few days

I was asked by friends to give my impressions of owning an Apple Watch. I guess it all comes down to:
Is the Apple watch worth about a dollar a day for the first year, and free thereafter?
I guess that depends on how much value you put on being able to leave your phone on silent, remaining in your pocket most of the day.
Because of the Taptic notifications, which are distinct "taps" on the wrist by the Watch for different things, I no longer have to keep my phone volume on all day (iPhone vibrations weren't strong enough in my pocket to notify me reliably) leading to a much nicer all day experience. On top of that, when I do get a notification, I can quickly flick my wrist to see what it is instead of digging my phone out. Much nicer to quickly glance at the latest 20% off offer from "YouNeedThis!.com" and dismiss it than dig the phone out, unlock it, click on mail, ...grumble.
The ease of notifications alone makes it worth it to me. It is easy to quickly respond most of the time, too. I find myself using my phone WAY less, which is refreshing (and I am sure appreciated by those around me.)
And the chirps, pings, whistles that used to emanate from my pocket all day are gone. Ahhhhh.
A few other things I have found convenient:
Actually knowing the time, date, weather etc. easily. Sure, I could have been wearing a wrist watch for some of that, but for the last few years I have used my Smartphone for these things. They are just so much simpler on the wrist.
Answering the phone easily when doing something. I am not one to wear a Bluetooth headset around like a Borg, so being able to easily answer when my wife calls as I am fixing lunch for the kid is really convenient.
Having the next thing on my daily calendar right there visible when I look at the Watch. I use the Mickey Mouse watch face normally (hey, I have an 18 month old daughter who loves pushing and seeing Mickey "dancing") and right there on the bottom it tells me the next thing on the list. I don't know how other folks do things on their phones, but I always had trouble sifting through notifications on the phone seeing what was on the agenda for the day. Yeah I could go to the calendar several times during the day on the phone, but it wasn't convenient. It is simple on the Watch seeing what is coming up during the week. And I say "week" because the Watch only shows you what is coming up in the NEAR future. To me that makes sense. Again, it is all about quick information and what works best in a glance. On the Watch it makes sense to quickly see what is coming soon. On the phone it makes sense to meander over months and make full edits in a more convenient manner.
Setting quick timers, reminders or alarms is a breeze using Siri on the Watch. So much more convenient than digging out the phone.
Getting a quick overview on the Watch on how active I have been (or not been) has already spurred me to get up and move more often. Yes there are other devices that help with this (I had a Fitbit previously) but having it all self contained within the Watch is nice and (here I go again) convenient.
A few things that are not perfect on the watch:
The speaker is pretty quiet when trying to have a hands free "Dick Tracy" conversation. Any kind of louder noise in the room and you will have trouble.
Apple is synonymous with consistency. Their entire platform is built on making a consistent experience for everyone that just works. On the Watch, however, there are some inconsistent uses of actions to do certain things. For example, sometimes when I get a notification and I want to dismiss it off the watch I can "Force press" which brings up a "Clear All" button to tap. Other times I have to scroll to the bottom of the notification to "dismiss." I like the "Force press" thing... let's make it happen consistently.
Most apps now are really pretty useless on the watch. For one thing, the screen times out too quickly for them. For another, anything in which one needs more than a glance to get the information is MUCH easier to do on the phone. Of all the apps in the Watch App store, the only things I have downloaded and find I actually use are a quick note dictation app, a "what is nearby me" type app, and a sports scores app. That being said, I am perfectly OK with that because that is really not what the Watch is for in my opinion. We aren't SUPPOSED to be doing things on the Watch that are more easily done on the phone. Things that are designed to be quick (check time, check weather, check who just sent a message) are great on the Watch. Things like searching for the best item on Amazon are just ridiculously silly on the Watch (really, Amazon?)
Conspicuously missing from the core apps on the Watch is Apple's "Notes" app. A perfect use for the Watch is to quickly take a note of something you need to remember later. I was forced to download a 3rd party app, Evernote, for this. The Evernote app works well, but I am very surprised that this was missed by Apple as a perfect example of what would be helpful to use the Watch to do.
There is no way to set the "screen on" time to a custom time period. Six seconds or so is default and unchangeable. This makes the Watch worthless for anyone in a health profession. Nurses and EMTs still take pulses using their watch to time the heart rate. Often, with irregular heart rates, a full 60 seconds must be observed. One just can't do this with the Watch. This is quite surprising as the Watch has actually been marketed to health workers with apps even designed solely to assist health workers in their daily planning. Apple clearly wanted to be able to control battery life with such a quick screen off "feature" but allowing us to decide for ourselves the tradeoff of battery life vs. usability would be a much better choice.
There are ways to make Tweets, Facebook status updates and the like on the Watch, but it really doesn't make sense to try to do it "all" socially on the Watch. It is so much easier on the phone to actually interact socially, that it really only makes sense to do so on the Watch in more of a "one off" way. When you just have to share something quickly, but don't really have time for give and take.
Finally, some things work a bit slow or wonky right now. I expect this to improve greatly over time with future versions of the software. Stuff like this ALWAYS gets better.
So for me, the Watch is working as I expect it should. There are certainly improvements that Apple can and will be able to make, but it is saving me time, adding ease of use to many actions I do every day, and is kind of fun to use. I am enjoying it because I am not expecting it to do things for which ANY wearable would not be well suited. The things it is best for, it does pretty well.
That is worth a dollar a day... to me at least.

To put the iPod into forced disk mode, this is what you should be doing.
Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least 6 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
Have you also seen this?
iPod shows only an Apple logo and doesn't start up.

Calendar App on Apple Watch

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening fellow Appleites,
Received my Apple Watch on April 24th via UPS and have been like a kid on christmas morning since! It really is spectacular. Some glitches, certainly, but thats to be expected from any new product release. Something else to be expected is that not everything will be included in the first release ... As people say what they want, Apple will no doubt incorporate these wishes into future versions of the OS - we all know that, so if some features are missing from 1.0 ... big deal! Having said that ... I have a quick question I am hoping the collective Apple Watch Community can help answer.
On the Calendar Watch App, it appears I can only view the current month ... not future or prior months? I feel like being able to scroll through months is something fairly basic and would be included in a 1.0 iteration ... so I am thinking user error. But i've tried a couple searches on various sites with no luck in finding out how to swipe to future/previous months and am hoping "you" can help me. I thank you in advance for your help!
Happy Time Telling!

I believe it's not possible. It's already 1st of May here in Sydney and I cannot get back to 30th April.
Interestingly I did not notice in the last two days that I couldn't get into May. Maybe I couldn't see May in the monthly calendar but I could at least scroll into May in the day view.

HT203167 I am trying to transfer itunes songs that were purchased using a previous apple id and windows pc ( I now have a Macbook pro). I know the previous apple id, but have forgotten the password.

I am trying to transfer my itunes songs that were purchased using a previous apple id and windows pc ( I now have a macbook pro). When I try and download the itunes files, a message appears telling me that 7 songs purchased under the old apple id cannot be added to itunes on my macbook( the rest are added ok). I know the previous apple id, but have forgotten the password. When I try and retrieve the password using the security questions, I am asked for my birthdate. When I enter my birthdate, I am told this information is incorrect! Thats as far as i can go!
How can I update my apple id( and remove any old ones) if I can't retrieve the old password?

You need a third-party program lke one of those discussed here:

How Do I Install Apple Drivers For Windows XP?

Okay, so I have a 15 inch mid 2012 MacBook Pro that is running OS X Mavericks. After many attempts, I managed to install Windows XP 32 bit as a secondary operating system on the HDD using Disk Utility. The only devices that Windows XP recognised upon the installation were the keyboard and the trackpad. I then inserted a Snow Leopard disc to install the Apple Drivers for Windows XP and it appeared as though the drivers got installed(the Boot Camp icon appeared on the taskbar next to the digital clock). However, when I restarted windows, none of the devices other than the keyboard and the trackpad worked. Does this imply that the drivers didn't get installed? If so, why is this and how can I install the drivers? If the drivers did get installed, why aren't the devices working? Please help me out, if possible. Thanks in advance.

It does not work because you are running Mavericks and trying to use non-Mavericks drivers for an operating system (XP) that is not support on your hardware or your operating system.

How do I get rid of the Apple Watch ad that's just appeared as an app icon on my iPhone 6 Plus?

Ad for Apple Watch has just appeared on my iPhone 6 Plus (iOS 8.3)--how do I get rid of it? Holding the button down to get jiggly app icons doesn't help--it doesn't have a Delete "x"; neither does it appear as an app in settings. I'm a bit unhappy about this appearing unbidden, out of the blue. If I want ads/demos, I'll download them. No call for pushing them onto my phone.

If I want ads/demos, I'll download them. No call for pushing them onto my phone.
It's not an ad/demo. It's the app needed to use the Apple Watch with your iphone. Like all apps that are part of the iOS, it can't be deleted.
