Dear Apple. Please let me choose default apps on my iPad.

It's not that I dislike safari but I need some features it doesn't support.

@Schack, Not gonna happen.  Apple has the iOS locked down so that people can't share files and I am sure a big part of this is in the way they lock us into specific apps like Safari and Maps.  The OS is tied to a specific set of UI coding to get to things like, address books, URL's, music, etc. so they are not going to unlock it for us. 
I agree it would make the user experience a lot better to be able to customize the way the device you paid so much money for works, but it is a closed ecosystem and we are tied into it.

  • My itunes in computer wont let me transfer my apps to my ipad.  I have the latest version of itunes. Please help

    My itunes in computer wont let me transfer my apps to my ipad.  I have the latest version of itunes. Please help.  When I press sync it says its syncing but at the end the apps are still not on my ipad.
    I need help. Hope you could help me.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

    Dear Apple – Please help me restoring my purched iTunes tracks on my ipad mini

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support or Apple.
    Music can't currently be re-downloaded in all countries. If you are in a country where music can be redownloaded, and if it's still in the store, then it will show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad. If some of your music purchases show there but not all, then check to see if any are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music, or if it's no longer in the store, then you will need to re-sync it from your copies on your computer's iTunes (or your backup of your downloads). If you haven't got a copy of your library anywhere then for the tracks that are still in the store you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    You want a button to delete stuff from iTunes?
    The Delete key and iTunes menu Edit -> Delete aren't enough?
    Make suggestions to Apple here -> http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    What "big red delete click" at the the top of the Finder are you thinking of? I don't see it.

  • Apple, please let us have "Search"!

    Apple,
    Please let us have the Search feature that the new "enhanced" 5th gen. iPod has.
    I just got my iPod video about 3 months ago, and there is no way I am buying a new one yet.
    Cut us all a break. Most of us already bought 5th gen ipods, and spent $300 - $400 doing so. With the recent 1.2 software update you gave us "old" users every feature except for search?! Why can't you just add it...?
    I know Apple doesn't read these boards but I reall think Search should be added for everyone with a 5th gen ipod (and nano) and newer.... don't you?

    Sorry but i don't agree, i have over 8,000 songs now. It's pretty easy to find the song i want with the normal search facility, rather than spending 5 minutes using the click wheel as a keyboard.

    You can copy the app to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the phone to it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - an actual backup (either on your computer's iTunes or to the cloud) doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content and settings, for a restore to work the app needs to be either in your computer's iTunes library (for and iTunes backup/restore) or still in the store (for an iCloud backup/restore). Or you could just sync the app from your computer's iTunes (which will only install the app, not any previous content)

  • Dear Apple, Please Read This

    Dear Apple,
    I really like the idea of the iPhone, but it's just too fragile. I need a phone that has a rugidized clamshell design, and all the buttons on the outside of the phone are automatically locked when the phone closes. It also needs to have that phone charm hole in the top of the phone. See, I keep my phone in my front pocket and I attach my keys to the charm hole. That way I can't loose my keys, and I always have them for opening boxes at work. Because of my work, my phone gets beat to death while still in my pocket. My keys swing and hit it, it falls out of my pocket constantly, I balance heavy boxes on the front of my hips (where my phone sits), so I can't have an iPhone as it exists right now.
    So here's my ideas. I have a Samsung Rugby, so let's start there. The iPhone Rugby should be wider and thinner, so the touch screen has the room to get bigger. When the phone is open, the bottom is the touch screen, the top is a regular screen, kinda like a DS. All the buttons on the outside of the phone are all located on the sides of the phone, no buttons on the front. And the only button that works when the phone is closed is the volume button that turns the ringer off when you don't want to answer that call.
    The touch screen on the bottom should default with the usual 2abc 3edf format with T9 so when I'm balancing boxes in my left arm, I can text with one hand. The top screen can pivot and turn sideways for those that want a Qwerty, but I personally prefer T9. One hand texting is really important for me.
    So when you figre out how to make a ruggid clamshell that won't pocket dial, doesn't require locking your buttons, has a piece I can attach my keys to, and can withstand being hit and dropped and beaten, let me know. Thanks.
    With Love,
    Nikki

    Me! Who Else?- Actually, My usage on the IPhone tops all your concerns/Issues/Ideas. I have a landscape construction company (as a second income) where the work and preform activities that make your durability concerns seem minor. I keep the IPhone in my pocket (sometimes with a cover, the otterbox brand+ a zagg invisible shield, sometimes without) and frequently carry paving stones, concrete debris, tools of all shapes and forms, get thrashed around in my skid steer (bobcat) and generally grind the IPhone into the these tasks and more! I keep the screen towards my leg side and it has been the only phone I have owned to even make it close to lasting the duration of my three year cell contract! I have dropped the phone in sand, loam, clay mud, and once into wet concrete! A quick dust-off with compressed air and wipe was all it needed.
    On an aside, I went ski touring this past winter and forgot to take the phone out of my sweaty pants for the ascent up and nearly soaked the IPhone with sweat. I dried the phone on the front defrost of my car when we returned and I (and my friends alike) were amazed that the IPhone had better reception in the Rogers Pass area (in Canada) than all the other phones.
    I work as well in a hospital as a professional (Nurse) and use the IPhone there as well for calculations and reference.The Iphone is perfect as it's smooth, nearly buttonless features allow me to clean the phone effectively with bactericidal wipes at the end of each shift. Imagine a flip phone, or a phone with all those nooks and crannies for viruses and bacterias to hide? Disgusting!, considering there are so many keyboards in the hospital. Maybe the IPad will make an appearance in hospitals one day?
    Anyways, I dispute your ideas and challenge them with my own experiences!

  • Please let us choose what to see in Itunes?

    Hello dear Apple developers,
    Usually I never take the step to write a post like this, but this time I have to.
    Till the new iTunes 11, I was so happy with iTunes!
    But now it seems that IOS is leading in the iTunes Store when it comes to functionality.
    I use the iTunes Store a lot for finding AND BUYING all kinds of music, but now the genre column is gone in "view all" and I can not find a way to switch it on. For example, if I want to make a crazy playlist of "White Christmas" songs, I used the genre column a lot.
    I can understand that you make the default without this column as it looks nice, but why is there no way to switch it on again?
    I also do not understand why you do not give people a chance to switch from 11 view to classic view as you did in Mail.
    Please, change this in the coming updates/upgrades! If you have any questions contact me!
    Best,
    Sander
