Apps are now sorted by upload date, not release date??!!?!

http://hothardware.com/News/iPhone-App-Developers-Gaming-The-System/
According to that article, the recent change to dates sorting is now changed to use the app upload date and not the actual release date. Some apps takes up to a month to review, so basically what is the point of selling at that point?? Can anyone confirm?

Your choices seem incoherent.
I suppose hobbyist developers can afford to put a lot of work into updates that noone but the initial purchasers of the app will ever be aware of. From a business perspective, the choice is more difficult. Perhaps Apple needs more ad revenue from the AppStore, it is not clear what other venue a typical app would have to efficiently reach iphone/ipod owners.
I don't understand how the appstore change would encourage developers to push out a bad product, just the opposite is true, as you now have only one chance to get it right. The likelihood of more paid but trivial updates is increased, under this policy, but Apple can control that by not approving insubstantial changes, as they could before.

  • I'm looking into how apps use the cloud. Would you consider any app with social media access as uploading information to the cloud? e.g. being able to tweet through an app is the same as uploading data to the cloud

    Most of us in this forum are users who volunteer on technical issues, and not Adobe employees although they do drop in from time to time. As users we simply have no control over activation and that's why you are not getting responses.
    If you havn't done so,you might try the Muse forums and see if you can get a staff member to look into it. Have your case numbers and phone transcripts handy.
    Last option is to keep calling customer service until you get someone who will help or ask for a supervisor.
    Hope this get resolved,

  • Random Records are being skipped while uploading data in PSA from CSV File

    Hi Experts,
    I am facing issue in data uploading in PSA through CSV file, Random Records are being skipped while uploading data in PSA.
    First Load
    We have flat file (.txt in CSV format), which contains 380240 Records.
    We are uploading the flat file data into PSA from Application Server. But it uploads Only 380235 records, 5 Records are being skipped.
    Second Load
    We have re-generated same file next day, which contains same No of Records (380240), but this time it uploads Only 380233 records, 7 Records are being skipped.
    We found 1 skipped record (based on key columns combination, by cross verifying from source and PSA table) from First load. But same records (combination of key column) is available in second load. It means same records are not being skipped every time.
    Earlier (5 months ago) , We have loaded 641190 Records from flat file in same PSA and all records (641190) were uploaded successfully.
    There is no change is Source, PSA and flat file structure.
    Thanks & Regards
    Bijendra

    Hi Bijendra,
        Please check in the file if at the begining if it has got any excape sign then that record may be skipped so the records may be mssing
    Please check the excape sign like ; if they are present at the beginign that recor entirely will be skipped.
    Regards

  • All contact birthdays are now listed as the date before

    Weird problem that affects my iCal and Address Book. I've recently noticed that every single one of my contacts' birthdays are now listed as the date prior to the actual birthday (the date that was entered in the first place). Not sure when this happened, but it has been since upgrading to Snow Leopard (but I'm not really sure that it occurred because of the upgrade). Has anyone had this problem? I'd love a quick fix, one that doesn't require me manually changing every single contact's birthday. But more than that, I'd like to know why this happened in order to hopefully prevent it in the future. Thanks.

    I just discovered the same thing.Had to got through and manually change every birthday. Interestingly, the change was in Addressbook, which is where iCal gets its info.

    You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours.  If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
    You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for).  You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
    You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

    It is possible that you forgot to add a file extension (.json) while saving and in that case you may be looking for the wrong file.
    Also make sure that you search for hidden files and folder in case the file was saved in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
    Firefox won't import the file without a .json file extension ("Can't process ..."), but you can create a backup with any name.

  • Many of my Apps are now crashing after upgrading my iPad 1 to OS 5. What's up?

    Many of my Apps are now crashing after upgrading my iPad 1 to OS 5. What's up?

    Free memory.     You are probably getting crashes becasue you have too much stuff floating sround in memory.  Double tap the home button to see the task bar.   Touch and hold any of those icons until they jiggle, then delete them all by touching the minus sign.
    Do this every day, or more oftern if needed to keep the system freed up.   If you are using safari a lot, make sure to fully close some of the windows by touch the x on the tabs.  Each window uses some active memory.
    From time to time, do a full reboot by holding the sleep and home button until the apple logo appears.  Ignore the red slider.  This also frees up some system resources.
    The iOS system is supposed to do this for you, but since the intro of ios 5 there are a fair number of folks crashing.

  • I re-installed Mountain Lion from a USB stick, and now my Apps can't be downloaded.  The App store indicates that the Apps are already installed, but that is not the case. Now what :)

    I re-installed Mountain Lion from scratch of a USB stick, and now my Apps in the App store ca not be installed, the App store indicates that they are already installed, but that is not the case.  Now what?

    Ok, this is somewhat of a better work around I've found:
    Starting in the Australian iTunes store, I go through the process of signing into the UK iTunes store up until the point it asks for my credit card information.
    I then click the 'X' in the top left of iTunes to exit the store.
    Now when I click on my Apps Updates button it shows me what UK Apps I have that are available to update.
    You can't download these as at this point I've changed the store I'm viewing, but haven't officially switched accounts. Not to worry.
    I write down the names of the UK Apps to update.
    Then, use the 'search store' field in the top right of iTunes to search for one of the Apps.
    Once you've found it, click to buy it / download it.
    iTunes recognises that the App is already in your account and downloads it again for free….
    … now I'm HOPING that that App is now fully within my Australian account… unfortunately only time will tell once there is a new update for it.
    I'll let you know.

    I upgraded to ios7 on my iphone 4s and now many of my apps are prompting me to connect to itunes for push notifications. In most cases, i can just click ok to this prompt and carry on, but it is still a real nuisance. However with the app dropbox and find my phone, I can not get out of the prompt. I have to reboot my phone to be able to use it again. Any suggestions?

    The terms of service of the Apple Support Communities prevent us from helping anyone with a jailbroken phone.
    You're on your own.  Good luck.

  • Looking for a good note taking app: Are there new features for the Notes app in iOS6?

    Hi,
    I've read that the Notes app with Mountain Lion will be available for OS X as well, and I was wondering if there will be any significant updates to the Notes app coming in iOS 6?
    The Notes app in Mountain Lion supports, as far as I know, text formatting, images and attachments. The Notes app in iOS 5 does not have any of these features, yet still it is claimed that the OS X client will sync with the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. This means that there must be some rather significant updates coming for the Notes app in iOS 6 to match up with the features of its Mac counterpart. Still, no updates to the Notes app are listed in any of the iOS 6 feature lists I've seen so far.
    I'm looking for a good note taking app for OS X and iOS. I don't like how Springpad works, neither did Evernote work out for me, it's just too complex - I like Simplenote a lot though, it's just that its approach is too radical in my opinion. I was thinking that the Mountain Lion Notes app might be a good alternative because it combines simplicity with rich text formatting and attachments. I kind of hate the skeuomorphic user interface though.
    best, Ian

    You are only addressing other iPad users here & no Apple employees. We have no way of knowing, so you'll have to wait until iOS 6 is released.
    Here's some general info.

  • Installed apps are now "waiting"

    This morning, I turned on my iPad to discover that 90% (not all) of my downloaded apps are no longer useable and are noted as "waiting" and are slowly downloading. I have tried syncing to my computer to no avail. Any thoughts?

    - By reboot do you mean:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next, I would try reseting network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Last, download the updates on your computer and sync.

  • HT204266 apps are showing in my iTunes but not showing on my ipod

    Hi
    I have just bought a new iPod and all the apps are showing when I downloaded from the cloud but are not functioning at all. They are showing on my itunes screen on the right hand side but not in the tick section on the left hand side where you select the aps you want to use.
    Steve

    How did you set up your iPod? It sounds like you set it up via wifi. In that case you can't sync apps from a computer.
    Or are Restrictions set that prevent installing apps: Settings>General>Restrictions.

  • Address book names are now sorted by first name.

    After installing Snow Leopard my mail it is now sorted alphabetically by the first name, not the last. How do I change it back?

    I just talked to an Apple Product Specialist about the change in Address Book searching with Snow Leopard. Here is where it stands right now:
    In all previous versions of Address Book, the user could simply type 'T' to instantly go to contacts with last names that start with 'T' (and businesses that start with 'T').
    In Snow Leopard, Address Book can no longer search with one letter the way it did before; it uses a 'Spotlight' type of search where the user must type the full name in order to get an exact match. This type of searching is useful for finding documents on the Mac or searching the Internet, but is totally inefficient for finding contacts in Address Book.
    It sounds like someone at Apple decided this was a better way to search for contacts, because this change in search method is described in the new Address Book 'Help' file; it says, "As you type, Address Book begins to search all the information on the cards, including notes, and displays matching contacts, with the matching text highlighted in each card." For example, let's say someone used to type 'T' to search for a contact named Bill Tilman. Now what happens is that Address Book stops at the first person who's first name starts with 'T', and highlights all the T's in the person's card (the T in 'telephone', the T in 'Street', etc. The user must now scroll through all their contacts manually to find Bill Tilman, or else manually type out the complete name 'Bill Tilman'. (If they just type 'Bill', they will only get the first person named Bill.)
    I hope Apple will reconsider and will allow Address Book to do the quick one-letter searches by last name (as opposed to 'Sort' by last name, which it still has) like it used to. (Or at least make this a choice in Address Book Preferences.) This would also be more compatible with the way iPhone searches for contacts; when you select a letter in the iPhone's contacts, it finds contacts who's last name starts with that letter, as well as businesses, just like Address Book always used to.
