Depends what you want the maps for. The image quality of the satellite images is far better than google, the 3-D imagery is fantastic and very useful for me. I do not use the maps app for finding routes so I can't comment on that. For me, the only downside is that you cannot download imagery for offline use, though the app does cache imagery that you have viewed when online, so that is a partial fix. As far as I am concerned, it is way better than anything else I have seen.

Highly unlikely that it says any such thing.
Try telling us exactly what version of iTunes is installed and what if any messages appears when trying to update it.
What Operating System is the computer running? -
I just got my MacBook Pro a month ago. However I am realizing I need more hard drive space due to aps and programs. I use am external but am concerned about the space. Is there a way to upgrade my hard drive from apple and keep my warranty valid?
That would depend on whether your model actually has a hard drive. If you have the new 2013 Retina model, then you have a fixed storage device built-in that cannot be modified after purchase.

I have just pre-purchased the Iphone 5 and am concerned about the Nano_SIM. I am with Telstra in Australia. How and where do I get a Nano M and how do I get my pre-paid account onto the new SIM?
The nano SIM should come with the phone if you set it up with a carrier.
If you purchased an unlocked phone, you'll have to contact your carrier to get a nano sim card. -

i wanted to buy a macbook but im concerned about dead or stuck pixels, now i do music production and a lil bit of photography and i need a really clean display, ive had dead pixels and stuck pixels, in my past monitors and i just dont want to be running up and down trying to find a good macbook with a good display
And, what do you propose we can do to help you? Bad pixels in displays is a manufacturing problem. Testing a display is the only way to assure it doesn't have bad pixels. "Running up and down ... to find a ... good display" is the only solution. It’s not something with which we can help you.
In the future if you have a question or problem, then please post it as such. -
My wife had a problem with her iPhone 5C with no voice on the Maps app. I visited my local Apple store and they said the problem was in iCloud. We did a new install and it works great now. Now 4 days later my iPhone 5 that is tied to the same iCloud has the same problem with the Maps app. I really don't want to go through a new set-up with my iPhone 5. What's going on with iCloud?
I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot! -
pls. help me about find my iphone lock. because i buy a second hand iphone 4s but still lock to the previous owner when i restore factory settings still searching for the previous owner of this phone still now i cant use this phone
Hello jimmy ii
The only option is to contact that person to have them remove Activation Lock from the iPhone. They can do it online and do not have to come to you. Check out the article below for more information.

I'd like to buy an iPhone 4S in France directly from the Apple Store, not from the operators. But, I will go back to my country, Thailand. So, I'm wondering to know that there is an INTERNATIONAL warranty for iPhone, and is it valid in Thailand (warranty). Would it be able to be claimed at the iStudio in Thailand?
There is NO International Warranty for the iPhone. Your best bet is to purchase one in Thailand. If you purchase a phone in France, you will NOT get warranty service on it in Thailand and will have to return it to France (or any EU country) for warranty service.

I would like to buy an iphone 4s but I prefer it with ios6, if I buy it now from stores in USA does come with this ios6
Typicaly, devices liek this are loaded witht he production software at the time that they are manufactured. If you buy a unit built before the release of IOS6, you will have IOS5. Once the evice has been boxed up, it won't be touched before sale.
If you buy the iPhone from an Apple store, you can ask them to help with the IOS6 install.
But I have a question for you. Why do you say that "ios6 built with iphone when we buy it better than the uodated one" ? It may be easier to not have to do the install but why better? -
It's been only 2 months I hav purchased iPhone 5 invested all my savings.i know how I manage to buy an iPhone . But today apple had declared that iPhone 5 has Been discontinued . I m feeling so low n comfort less ,I want apple to support me.pls Help me????
No worries. Apple will continue to support your phone. By "discontinued", they just mean that they are not selling new ones anymore. You will still be able to get IOS7, you will still be able to get support and service, you will still be able to buy apps and music, use FaceTime, Mail, Messages.....
Nothing has changed except that you can't buy a new one....
Cheer up - all is well!
Cheers,

i am from argentina and i want to buy an iPhone 5s, but in my country i can only use it if the phone is unlocked , i want to know if i buy one of t mobile with no contract and i travel to mi country ( internationaly) i can use it with a sim from argentina
You should go onto the Tmobile web site and look around. Very soon a pop up window will ask you if you want to chat. You can try asking for someone who knows Spanish (if you prefer), they might have someone available who can chat with you in Spanish.
I give this suggestion because I remember on the Tmobile website, you can order on line, but they let you choose to pay only a little money up front, then pay off the rest over 24 months, or you can choose to pay for it in full. However, their ordering process does not say whether the paid for in full phone is going to be unlocked or not.
It may not be, You may have to make a request and say that since you have paid in full please unlock. I am not so sure that a paid for in full phone is automatically sold in unlocked state.
This is why I suggest you talk to Tmobile to get a definite answer.
Unless someone else on this forum knows for sure? Hope someone else jumps in to answer. But the best way is to ask for yourself directly from Tmobile. -
I am considering installing the latest version of OSX Mountain Lion but am concerned by the number of users that have had severe problems. Has Apple sorted this out?
As I told you, you have to do some steps before upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion.
First of all, make a backup of your files using Time Machine and/or Carbon Copy Cloner. If you make both, good, but if you only make one, it's OK, too.
OS X Lion and OS X Mountain Lion aren't compatible with PowerPC applications, so you have to check if your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com If you have to update an application, do it before upgrading, because the Mountain Lion installer moves unsupported applications to a separate folder.
After doing that, open Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" in the sidebar and repair permissions. Then, verify the disk to check if it's OK. If everything is right, just open the App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion -
I am so confused. I am thinking about buying an iPhone 4S but I want to use those card things that you can put the code in for the phone is this possible? I'm not talking about the 50$ unlimited card just the regular 20$ cards that hold mins and texts... As long as it has the support for the service it's hooked up to?
As far as I know there is no US cell carrier that allows pay as you go with an iPhone. You can purchase an unlocked iPhone 4S at an Apple Store and try it with a non-supported carrier.

I've read that Promise Pegasus2 R6 thunderbolt 2 series does not sell replacement parts (no replacement parts for any of the Pegasus line). I'm buying the new MacPro but am concerned about spending $2K for storage (12tb version) that may break and cannot be fixed (am told that one must purchase a new unit if a part breaks). What are others buying for storage for the new MacPro? Thanks so much for your help.
Discussion about this issue at MacWorld.com: http://www.macworld.com/article/2082783/first-look-promises-pegasus2-r6-thunderb olt-2-raid-array.htmlI've used the original Pegasus R6 units for a couple of years now and have been very pleased with them. On the two occasions I've had to call on their technical sujpport, I've found them readily available, knowledgeable, and very helpful. In one case it involved the reset of a unit after a power failure at an inopportune time; in the other case it was a question about upgrading disk drives to higher capacities (1 Gb gto 4 Gb). I was pleased to learn that their tech support people were in California and as good if not better than upper-tier AppleCare reps. The hardware itself has functioned flawlessly so far.
