Are apple becoming the new microsoft

Having only had a classic less than a week, and had bout a day and a halfs use out of it, due to the disc spinning problem, are apple now becoming the new microsoft poor products rushed out to the public full of bugs some minor some rendering the product unsable to people, i no apple have never been saints but you used to expect so degree of quality, the classic just plain *****, the slow menus, the slow photos, the sometimes random itunes connecting, the constant hdd spinning which will no doubt end up with one or two users killing the hdd and apple saying its not their fault, the fact that to change the volume when the classic goes into screensaver mode you have to run your finger round and round the scroll wheel until it thinks hey wait a minute someone wants to change the volume, the coverflow which takes an age to load album art(THE WHOLE POINT OF IT) and I only have 4.5gig of music on it I would hate to image ow coverflow works with 80 or 160gig of music, seriously apple I hate the classic it just feels like you wanted to get the touch out and left everything else behind

Steve,
1) Have somebody wash your mouth out with soap for the subject comment.
2) Return your classic for a nano.
I have no problems with my classic, but you may feel yours is too slow. I'm guessing the nano will be faster for you.

    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

    i would just like to ask apple if they can make ios 7 for ipod 4th gen because my friends are showing off the new ios 7 with there ipod 5 or iphone

    No. The hardware in the fourth-gen iPod touch won't handle iOS 7 or Apple would have released it for your model of iPod. If you want to run iOS 7, you'll need a new iPod.

    Hello guys..does anybody know how to install and use adobe master collection with the new lion?
    I need to use Flash and illustratore, but apparently those programmes are incompatible with the new operative sistem...
    I am a new mac users and I'd like to know if there are other similar programmes I can use with lion!

(see FCP X)..
    good luck with apple dude..
    Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
    And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
    <The only think I can really do is to go back on my old windows...give back this orrible lap top and ask for my money back!>
    Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.

  • An Appeal to Apple about the new iWork release

    I start with a quote from Jason D. O'Grady at ZDNet written in the beginning of this year:
    "Apple is missing a prime opportunity here and basically ceding the market to Microsoft. Its users have a natural aversion to Microsoft products -- at least on the OS level -- and it's baffling that Apple isn't capitalizing on it with regular updates to iWork. Apple could simply add a couple of features, tighten up the UI and release iWork '10, iWork '11 every year (like almost every other software developer does). I know that I'd probably upgrade.
    Instead Apple proceeds with its release and abandon strategy."   
    Why did Apple released this new iWork-version to us serious users? I love my iWork '09 and its truly intelligent and useful interface which has speeded up my workflow tremendously compared with using MS Office.
    All users of a program expect that the next version will at least be as good and useful as the previous one, that features have been improved, useful stuff added, improvements leading to an even better and efficient workflow have been added etc. etc.
    iWork could have been an important piece in increasing the market share on Macs worldwide and a fantastic alternative to MS Office that most of us are so tired of because of its lack of intuitiveness, poor-working word-formatting and layout-functions etc. etc.
    I have been using iWork professionally for years now. The new version is not an alternative for me. It would ruin my iWork-work for years including my business as a technical writer.
    I appeal to Apple:
    Call the new iWork version for ’iWork Lite’ or ’iWork for beginners’.
    Announce an iWork Pro-version as soon as possible and give an estimation of release date.
    Let iWork ’09 be the minimum baseline for the version.
    Assure a good backwards compatibility.
    Do not change the basic interface compared with iWork ’09 with for example its customizable toolbar and floating inspector.
    Give it a competitive price (compared with MS Office).
    Give it great cloud functionality (greater and better than MS Office)
    We all need better programs that Microsoft offers us.
    You guys at Apple have been on track to make it. I appeal: Switch over to this track again! Today!

    I disagree. The floating inspector was very useful as you could keep it away from the writing area, pull it off competely when not needed and call it back on request. At least, this should stay as an option rather than that invasive new sidebar.
    I agree. Having the movable Inspectors was one of the best features of iWork. The way it was implemented with the descending order of tabs should have been widely adopted. Not trashed.
    I keep my Inspectors and other palettes on a second monitor to allow a full view of my work on the first.
    Having an independent Inspector, one not tied to context, allows the User to look for information and options without losing what you are doing at the moment.
    Contextual linking suffers from a major problem. You must know the exact selection/combination of actions to make the controls appear. In other words you must know the correctly worded question to get the answer.
    Don't get the wording of the question exactly the way the programmers want it and you will never find the answer.
    There are examples of that in Pages 4.3, other Apple software and many areas of OSX in recent times.
    It is very bad User Interface Design to conceal the access to solutions.
    Effectively you turn the software into an Easter Egg hunt. Something that seems to amuse the personalities who program, but not those who are using software to an end and not just playing games.

  • I want to transfer my music from one computer to another, however a large majority of my songs are already on the new computer, is there a way to transfer only the ones not there? or to see what songs are only on the one computer

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Homesharing gives you the option of seeing only the content in the shared library, that is not already in your own library.

  • I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos

    I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos and say that I need to upgrade my I photo to a newer version. The old mac has no more support from apple in software update so I am not sure where I should go from here. can I use new soft ware with the old mac

    The other part of the upgrade message was a warning that once you upgraded you would no longer be able to open the library with the old version which is exaclty what you did and what happened when you choose to continue
    The iphoto library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library. Cancel or upgrade.
    So now your choices are to not use iPhoto with the previous version using it onky with the newer version, restore your backup from before you did this upgrade or purchase iPhoto Library Manager and use it to rebuild the library using the older version of iPhoto (instructions are on their web site) thereby downgrading it (without projects)

  • Is it worth it spending $200 dlls in the new Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac?

    I am trying to decide whether to upgrade my Mac to the new Microsoft Office 2008. Is it worth it? What are the differences between the new version and the old one?

    There are more differences than would be practical to list here.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicrosoftOffice_2008_forMac
    might be a good place to start, as well as Microsoft's website for a full description of new features. ArsTechnica also has a review of it on their website somewhere too.
    Is there any specific reason for upgrading? If not, then I would recommend sticking with 2004. I went out and got 2008 about a month ago (student licensing, so it only cost me $40) and I'm not at all impressed. It's slower than 2004, even on my quad-core Mac Pro. The overall responsiveness of the application is sluggish, especially in Powerpoint. Dragging textboxes and other elements around the page, for example, is incredibly laggy and feels imprecise. No to mention Microsoft broke Endnote compatibility in Word 2008 as well, so if the Cite While You Write feature is important to you, forget about it. I'm sticking with Office 2004 and iWork for now. I don't feel so bad since I only spent $40 on it; no way would I justify $200 unless I needed 2008 for a specific reason (ie work compatibility, etc)

  • Music, Photos, Videos... I can't sync anything for iPhone 4. When will Apple release the new version of iTunes?

    I tried every methods up online trying to sync the music, photo, and videos. Nothing is working right now ever since I updated my ios to 7.
    This is happening to most of people who owns iPhone 4, 4S, and 5. Does anyone know when will Apple release the new version of iTunes which will fix the sync problem?
    What's the point of having a smartphone when you can't sync anything?

  • Why didn't apple cal the new Ipad the iPad 3???

    Why didn't apple cal the new Ipad the iPad 3???

    Apple has not explained why, so nobody here could tell you for sure. Perhaps to keep it in line with naming polices for computers (all iMacs are iMacs, all MacBook Airs are MacBook Airs) rather than the iPhone.

  • I purchased a MACBOOK PRO  oneweek before apple announced the new editions

    I purchased a MACBOOK PRO just oneweek before apple announced the new editions to the product.  I paid full price for a product that  became out of date the week after the purchase and feel very strongly that the use of the Apple online store should protect me from such poor information.  If you are planning a major upgrade to a product momentarily, PLEASE inform those buying online so they can delay for a few days for the better system. 
    I don’t know what options I have but would like to return this macbook for the current system.
    Thanks

    What absolute rubbish.
    They we're just updated 4 months ago.
    Where & when did this "Announcement" by Apple take place?
    ......exactly.

  • Will Apple include the new earpods to new shuffle?

    The price of the old earphones is same as that of the new one.But Apple still did not include the new 'Earpods'to the new ipod shuffle.
    Will Apple include the new earpods to new shuffle?Is there any movements going on there?

    They have only announced that the EarPods will be included with the iPod Touch 5G, iPod Nano 7G, and iPhone 5.  Otherwise, you'll have to purchase them seperately.  That's all we know right now as all of us here are only end users like yourself.  Sorry.

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on the version twice, append the last three digits of the computer's serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= , load the page, and check the computer's maximum OS version. If that's the current version, click here and read the entire page. If not, you can't use the Mac App Store version.
