Are the io4 updated apps playing nice with io3?

I've resisted updating my 3rd-party apps for fear that the "optimizations" they've made to io4 will cause the apps to work "less-than-optimally" on my 1st gen touch. (I have io3.1.3 running now.)
In other words, perhaps leaving my apps updated to just before the io4 release is Optimal (to use the devs' word) for old firstie.
Tips? Feedback?
THANKS!!!

Some apps require iOS4+ so you won't want to download those updates. Usually I just let iTunes download all free updates. I have now found that that is a bad idea. I recently had to restore my iPod Touch 1st Gen (no iOS4) and some of my apps would not install on my device because the apps require iOS4+. Luckily I had an incremental backup of my apps directory and was able to roll back the to the old version of the app. I wish iTunes had a way to automatically block apps from updating that require a certain iOS version. Now, I only update apps from the iPod Touch itself. That way I only get the updates that are compatible with my device.
Of the Apps I've downloaded that are built for iOS4 but run on iOS3, I have not noticed any problem with them.

Make Illustrator play nice with OS X Spaces, eh?

Hey Mr & Mrs Adobe --
Can you pretty please make your apps play nice with OS X Spaces? It's only been around since October 2007. I'm tired of having documents in two different spaces. k'thanks.

While I don't believe this discussion belongs here (try Feature Requests, next time), I think Adobe is not completely innocent here. Spaces is a feature of the OS that's been around for two years, and that Adobe has had access to for even longer. Other companies with fewer resources than Adobe, and without developer seeds, were able to support Spaces from day 1. Even programs released before Leopard usually work with it.
Adobe has proven that they do not care about Mac OS conventions or about fully supporting the Macintosh OS. For the amount of money they charge for their programs and upgrades (which are often little more than bug fixes that should be no charge) it is not asking too much for support of basic OS features.

If apple is dropping iDisk are they going to play nice with others?

If apple is dropping iDisk are they going to play nice with Pages amd Numbers apps and let me access SkyDrive, DropBox, Box and so on? Or am I stuck with the lame iWork?

Whether Apple will ever support direct connections to any of the other cloud services is something no one here knows or can say. You can comment to Apple on the matter here, if you wish:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
For now, there is a workaround for DropBox by using an intervening service and the Copy to WebDAV option. Whether there's a similar option for other services I don't know. Otherwise, the only option is sharing via email or synchronzation via iCloud.
Regards.

Why won't iTunes 'play nice' with Windows 8.1

After following painstaking, tedious Troubleshooting hoop-jumping**, iTunes (latest version) STILL refuses to "play nice" with Windows 8.1
Stalls out (Windows Task Manager reports "not responding") and does truly nasty things like blanking computer display and making Windows 8.1 system commands non-responsive (iTunes also has to be Forced closed ['End Task'] using Task Manager)
My question:
ANY HOPE that iTunes will EVENTUALLY actually work with Windows 8.1?? (Of course, there's NO '8.1' listed in drop-down menu, inspiring further confidence!)
Adding INSULT to INJURY - Apple programmers DEMAND/FORCE creation of NSA-grade Password to Login to iTunes!!?! (8 minimum, mandatory Capital and lower case letters, plus number(s), plus NO repeats, plus NO "common passwords" [whatever THOSE are] etc. etc. etc....ad nauseum)
ARGGGH!
** Update iTunes, start in Safe mode, re-start (iTunes & Windows), check AV status, shut down AV & firewall, scan for viruses, check status of all drivers, all DLL's, any "possibly conflicting" applications [whatever THOSE are], create new User Account, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum!
At the risk of repeating myself ... ARGGGH!

Just checking that you've tried "iTunes Safe Mode" as opposed to "Windows Safe Mode"?
Press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT the instant you click the icon that launches iTunes and keep holding until this message appears.
Click Continue, then close iTunes and reopen. Some people seem to have had success with this approach...
Alternatively, have you tried removing all iTunes components and then reinstalling as shown in the second box of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates?

What are the best essential apps for a newbie?? Please help...

I'm new to Mac and in dire need of apps so that I can utilize my Mac for more than the very basic. Other than regular updates, I haven't put anything on it yet. I want to be able to do the basics - type a document/report, a sign, labels or design cupcake toppers or things for my child (a problem I've run into this week preparing for my child's birthday). I'd also like a money/finance app and wondered if there was something available than the usual Quicken. There are so many apps to choose from and I don't want to spend more than I have to or spend anything on something that I don't need or won't use. I'm all for spending money on doing it right, just need some guidance. Any suggestions?
Another question: What's the best way to protect my Mac? I'm careful about emails, etc., and I'm scared to death to download any apps online unless it's the App Store - am I correct in thinking that it's safe??
I appreciate any and all suggestions in advance...this has been quite the headache

Apple's own iWork suite (+Pages, Numbers, Keynote)+ is more than enough for the vast majority of users. I'm a "power user" - I prepare manuscripts for publishing using InDesign and Microsoft Word. Those are the tools I have to work with to be as close to 100% compatible with my collaborators as possible.
*But for all of MY document creation needs, I use Pages.* It's very powerful, providing all of the tools, templates, etc., one could want. And for presentations? Keynote is simply amazing and so much better than PowerPoint could ever hope to be. (and FYI, we're expecting anydaynow that Apple will release iWork '11... +since there is no indication from Apple whether those who purchase iWork '09 apps will have free or discounted upgrates to iWork '11 apps, you might want to wait+).
Labels is the one thing that catches a lot of folks when they move to the Mac - they expect it to be a part of the word processor (Pages), when it's really in a more logical place - *Address Book*! Use AB to track your contacts. Make groups of contacts (like, Christmas list), Select the group you want to print onto labels, and choose File-->Print. In the Print dialogue, you'll find options to choose various label formats and other customizations.
Two essential additions are Perian and Flip4Mac. These are two System Preference add-ons that will allow your Mac to play WMV and other multimedia files that you may encounter on the internet.

Need help Please. Which play nice with macs? Palm Treo's Or Tmobile MDA?

Hi all, I post on here from time to time, but hardly anyone ever answers my questions. Here's my dilema. I bought a Tmobile MDA over the weekend that runs microsoft windows mobile 5.0. And while playing with it have noticed some things about it that i think are'nt that good. For example, I like the fact that its a windows os, but think that it's flawed. I have done quite a bit of research but don't think that it's active sync software is even compatible with mac osx. so have'nt even tried to mess with it. now i'm still in the 14 day window and am thinking about returning it. but here's the thing....
I know that tmobile has EDGE, and it's considerably slower than verizon or sprints EVDO. (since i've researched it i know that edge is around the 70-170KBPS range when EVDO has 300-700KBPS) And tonight i was messing with this tmobile MDA and finally got it to work to connect to the net with it using bluetooth and it's "modem" ability to connect it to the web. But it S U C K S! i went to and did a bandwith test and i was only getting like 12.1-27.1kbps download (after running 2 tests) dude, it feels slower than dialup!
so with that bullet against it, comes the compatible part. I can't sycn this thing with my mac for NOTHING! do any of you out there have a palm treo? (either verizon, sprint, or att.... carrier X?) How does it sync with your mac? is it hard? any extra software i need to get/buy? have any of you used it to connect to the net? and if so, how's the speed? And here's an even bettter question... How long did it take to config it to work using the phone as a modem? Did you use bluetooth? or serial link? was it easy to config? Where did you find the instructions?
I know these are a lot of questions, but this is a large investment for me. I mean this thing ain't cheap and it does'nt really play nice. I don't mind paying a little extra, for some peace of mind, and knowing that it won't crash often and will work with my mac. Anyone out there got any other suggestions? I would really appreciate it. I would like your opinion on which one is the easiest to use that plays nice with a mac, and has a interface that's almost as nice. Thank you so much for your time. I will be following this post closely and comment you all back for your replys
Mac Book Pro 1.83 GHZ 512 Ram Mac OS X (10.4.5)

It really is a toss up cause Ive owned two Treo's and Ive read extensive reviews on Windows mobile devices and it seems to me like they're pretty similar in the way of hardware and software(minus the fact of using different operating systems). So I think the determining factor really ought to be more focused on how much you're willing to pay, and the level of support you get for each device. I recently got rid of my Treo 650 due to an interesting touchscreen problem and got a windows mobile device(should come tomorrow)
in the way of syncing with a mac:
The Treo is extremely simple to set up and use with a Mac(keep in mind Im not talking about the 700w/wx)in every aspect. Palm provides OSx compatible software(though its almost impossible to get rid of after installation). However, in my experience, Palm does not really do a good job in the customer service department. While they have a rather extensive support page for each device(some of the info is outdated), that's pretty much all you get unless you don't mind spending hrs scouring various forums. Talking to customer service is a joke. Like I said I had a problem with the touchscreen and the best the rep could give me was "try a hard reset" and "send it in for repair".
I have yet to experience what windows mobile will be like. At the very least with syncing, theres syncing software made by people who had OSx in mind(ie: Missing Sync or Pocketmac) who will probably be able to help out a lot more in this area and possible also be able to help out with the other issues you mentioned.
a good place to check out would be howardforums.com, you'll probably get better answers there.

What are the must have apps for Snow Leopard

Just downgraded from Mavericks to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Just can't stand the frequent beach balls. Was wondering what are the must have apps that are still being updated by the developers?

Most of the apps that comes with OSX 10.6 are not being updated anymore. It would be great if you could recommend apps that are still being updated for security, stability etc for the following:
1. Email
2. Browsing
3. Office Suite (like iWork)
4. To do List
5. Photo Editor
6. P2P / File Sharing
I am aware that there are reviews in the net for best apps, but I am interested to learn what people in this community have used personally and suggest.
Cheers

Cheap wireless router that plays nice with macs??

Greetings:
I have the older cone-shaped airport extreme base station...
it's working fine & I'm very happy with it.
My situation is this....
Periodically I go thru times of network degradation when I pull my hair out trying to ascertain if the issue is my ISP mothership, my cable modem, the airport extreme base station, or any of the myriad of links in the chain along the way.
It's struck me on more than one occasion that it sure would be handy if I had *another wireless router on the shelf that I could grab & go with.
At issue, however are several matters:
--the fact that many other routers don't play nice with macs
--the fact that I **need to do WEP security (it seems to be being dropped by a lot of newer routers).......but my TIVO won't do WPA & also I still have 2 older imacs on my home wireless network.
I would LOVE to hear a recommendation of something cheap & locally plentiful (like at the local best buy) that still does WEP & will play nice with macs.
Thanks for your help.

You have the option to configure both your AirPort Extreme and the AirPort Express to "participate in a WDS network, so the Express will connect to the AiirPort Extreme using wireless only and then "extend" the reach of the wireless network.
Or, connect the Express to the Extreme using an Ethernet cable and configure it to "create a wireless nework", which will also provide more wireless coverage.....with greater bandwidth because you are connecting routers together using Ethernet, not wireless.
The following Apple document will give you all the options:

How to install the 'january update' apps on a second ipod

I have two ipod touch and I recently bought in the iTunes Store the january update apps. On ipod one, which is connected with itunes on a mac, this smoothlessly installs. On ipod two, which is connected to a itunes on a win PC, I cannot get this upgrade to install. For both ipods I use the same itunes account.
The itunes on the PC tells me that I allready downloaded the apps. This is true they reside on my mac. I than copied the 'itunes/mobile applications' folder from the mac to the windows: 'C:\Program Files\iTunes\Mobile Applications\iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa' location. Restart itunes and resynced. I get no complains but nothing happens, even restart of ipod does not help.
Can anybody tell me how to solve this ?

No, you can use it on as many as you own.
We're actually (Chris CA) trying to get an answer from Apple on an official process for this.
The problem lies in transferring and/or using on two computers you own with the same account...

What are the two mystery apps?

With my iPhone connected to my Macbook, under the apps tab (for my iPhone) - the top right says that I have 169 apps. However, when I count them I have 167. In addition, the apps tab (in the left of my iTunes for my Macbook) - the bottom says that I indeed have 167 apps.
