Dear Apple, why not fixing basic bugs?

I was sure that installing Leopard and using the new Mail.app I was finally able to use rich text format with my own font having all my recipients receiving the email message with the correct font.
This is still not happening!! I can't believe it...
So, why adding "300 new features" and not fixing this kind of annoying (and really old) bugs?
I do have the most advanced operating system running, but I still have to "write the message, select all text, and set the font" everytime I send a new eMail.
Any plan to finally fix this problem, forever?

This is one:

There is a bug mentioned there which I think has not been fixed in Leopard.
If you try to use the font button in the new message pane to set a new font size with rich text for the same font which you have set as the Message Font in the Mail preferences, it will seem to work but in fact the html generated by Mail contains only the size and not the font name. So it will be displayed at the other end in whatever font the user has set for his default. The workaround for that has been to make sure these fonts are different.
This also seems to happen with Leopard Stationery. If you create a custom stationery for Helvetica 36 while your Message Font in preferences is set to Helvetica, the stationery code will have no font name in it. The way around that is to create your custom Helvetica stationary while your Message Font is set to something else. That stationery can then be used later whatever your Message font is set to.
Though totally different from the question of having a preference setting for a default outgoing font, this really is something Apple should fix.

  • Dear Apple, why not SIMPLY bring Photo Booth and Facetime together?

    Dear Apple,
    as I was going through your Website I noticed that FaceTime and PhotoBooth are very similar. I don't know how these two are built, but ins't this a great idea bring them together? Because I don't see any problems. And how about having iChat integrated like Windows Lync (Coorporate Communicator)?

    Hi,
    In actual fact iChat came first.
    It had Video Effects before Photo Booth came out and could/can take snapshots of the Preview pic or the chat.
    Face Time at one level (visually) is a much simpler app all round.
    It does one job.  Connecting Video chats on a 1-to-1 basis.
    iChat can connect to Jabber servers and/or use the AIM Network (i.e Screen Names and IDs from other servers)
    Face Time uses Apple IDs
    Face Time also uses port 5223 the same as Jabber servers do (Jabber servers use this for Login).
    Currently an MobileMe name ending in @me.com is:-
    1)  an Apple ID  (Access to Communities with an Alias, iTunes, On Line Store, MacApp Store and so on)
    2) A Working Email
    3) a Valid Screen Name with the AIM Service (providing your password is 16 characters or less (AIM Limit)
    4) a Face Time Name. (re 1) )  (Listed only to stress the point)
    A @mac.com name is:-
    1) a valid AIM Screen Name (Same password Restrictions)
    2) An Apple ID  (There was a time when names could be registered after MobileMe  was launched, up to about 6 months ago when the Apple ID part was Optional)
    3) May be a working email if linked to an MobileMe account at the Mobile Me launch.
    An Apple ID  can be any other name, most likely an email address that has been used to register in any of the places in 1) in the Mobileme bit.
    If an Email was used this way it cannot be linked to a new Apple ID (Such as an @mac.com registration for iChat or Face Time)
    There would be some use in Face Time having a Jabber server so that Face Time to iChat could be done.
    (It remains to be seen how many would wish to add Jabber as well as having an AIM (Valid) name in iChat.
    iChat and Face Time can in fact access the camera at the same time (the only two apps that I know can do this without the Camera in Use message).
    There might be a call for Video effects in Fact Time but this may be beyond the processor capabilities of iOS devices.
    All in all linking Photo Booth and Face Time would only recreate iChat.

  • What is apple doing to fix the bugs from IOS 7.1.2 update? this update has ruined my phone

    What is Apple doing to fix the bugs from IOS 7.1.2 update??? This update has ruined my phone! Why would you put out a update you know is going to ruin someones phone? Whats being done? I have tried everything to fix my phone which was just fine before Apples IOS 7.1.2 update!!!

    I have also experienced issues with my iphone5 since updating to ios 7.1.2, prior to this update my phone was working perfectly fine and I know I didnt cause any damage to the phone because I baby my iphone as if it was my child. Ever since I updated to 7.1.2 my phone shutts itself down while I am using it, it can be while using whatsapp, browsing the internet or using apps, more than anything it fails while using the internet. The screen will either start to flicker or vertical lines will pop up and then the phone will fade to black, after this happens the phone will get really hot and to turn it back on I have to wait 5-10 minutes and hold down the power and home keys at the same time for about 15 seconds for it to turn back on, I have to wait 5-10 minutes because if I dont when I boot it back up it immediately shutts down again. This is a constant all day thing and for now i get by just making phone calls and sending regular text but I try to keep the action down to a minimum to prevent missing a phone call. I tried clearing the phone and rebooting it to original setting but this didnt fix it. After reading and speaking with several techs they tell me that ios 7.1.2 rolled out some performance adjustments one particular that affects the amp levels that the battery works at and supposedly the iphone 5 cant handle it, they explained that the phone for certain activities is asking for more or less power and the phone panics into safe mode and shutts itself down. My battery life is fine so I havent changed the battery like someone had suggested. In the diagnostic data it gives a panic.ips error. Id really like to know if there is any possible way to roll back to 7.1.1 through jailbreak or any other way, I was perfectly happy with this phone and didnt plan on buying another one for atleast 1-2 more years. If anyone can help me out this would be greatly appreciated, if not I hope apple is working to fix this.

  • Apple should still fix iWeb bugs.

    Apple should still fix iWeb bugs, even though it has been discontinued. There are many many bugs still in the latest version.
    One of which is failure to save your current work and to enable the publish button when changes are made.

    That's like asking Ford to continue to provide parts for the Edsel or Chevrolet for the Corvair.
    What system and iWeb version are you using?  iWeb 2 (08) is not compatible with Mt. Lion.  iWeb 3 is. Others who have had that problem did find fixes.
    As Roddy pointed out you could learn how to use iWeb and it's menus?
    iWeb 2
    iWeb 3:
    It's really not that hard.

  • Apple will not fix my Iphone?

    I had called earlier today to get my first generation IPhone repaired because of water damage. The representative I had talked to said that they would not fix it because it is out of warranty. I thought that the warranty only covered problems to the IPhone that were Apples fault not my own. On the Apple site it says it is $199 to get the Iphone repaired for "Out of Warranty & Accidental Damage Repair". So I am confused on why my Iphone could not be fixed. Can someone help explain this to me please.

    You are entitled to an exchange for an additional fee.
    "10. What happens if I return my iPhone for warranty service and it is determined that it is not eligible for warranty service?
    If you requested in-warranty Advance Replacement Service and the reason for the original iPhone failing is not covered under warranty, you will be responsible for the equipment replacement value charge of $399 for the 8GB model and $499 for the 16GB model.
    11. What happens if I return my iPhone for out of warranty service and it is determined that it is not repairable?
    Only iPhones that are repairable are eligible for Out of Warranty Advance Replacement Service. iPhones that have been subject to liquid damage, catastrophic damage, or damage as a result of the unit being opened are not repairable. If you requested Out of Warranty Advance Replacement Service and the the original iPhone is not repairable, you will be charged for the Advance Replacement Service Out of Warranty Cover Charge (ARS OOW Cover Charge), which is the difference between equipment replacement value and the Advance Replacement Out of Warranty Fee."

    Please print the link above and take it to an Apple store. If they give you any problems, please speak to a Manager and insist that you need to walk home with a phone. Let them know you're serious and settle for a display model iPhone 3G (or 2G).

  • Apple, why not an in-app purchase for iPhone OS?

    How many people bought an iPhone3G last year and now likes to have some new software-features that are active only for the new iPhone3G-S, but thinks that his iPhone already works well and isn't the moment for spend more money for the new iPhone and his new features?
    Why not to make an in-app purchase for iPhoneOS?
    Video recording for example... 4,99§ / 9,99§ for software extention?
    I think it will be a good idea..

  • Dear Apple, Why is your post sales customer service so bad?

    I am very new to Apple, after 2 weeks I have enjoyed my iPhone 4 so far but the 1st problem (Apple ID Disabled) is a nightmare to resolve. A search on these forum shows this is a regular issue. Apple do not seem to have implemented the systems to deal with this appropriately. I have changed my password, completed their web form 3 times and contacted Apple support by phone. No one is helping me. I was seriously considering the iPad 2 as I had found the iPhone so usable but without access to app store for updates or itunes its just another phone. No iPad for me I think.
    If anyone knows of a quick way to get Apples attention to resolve this then I would be grateful for the steer.

    You are not addressing Apple here at all.

  • Why has Apple NOT fixed the bug on iphone 4s on Meteor?

    My phone has never worked since i bought it.. It is not fit for purpose. it constantly keeps searching for network..  both my Texts and Calls fail on almost every attempt.  ive been bounced from Apple to Meteor, back to Apple and still i have a dud phone!!! I have restored it 4 times. sent it bake to meteor, changed sims and still it does not work.
    this issue is know to both Apple and Meteor, yet both companies seem happy to allow customers to have this outrageous experience.
    Apple what are you doing to fix this?

    Your not speaking to Apple here just user to user like you and I.
    have you tried resetting your network in settings.
    Apple doesn't control networks, that would be your carrier they activate your service, so your anger you be towards meteor not apple.

  • "Why Apple do not fix light sensor bug in ios 6 ipod touch 4g plz give me update for this"

    Light Sensor increase but not Decreas light

    As you have been directed in the other posts you've made on the issue, this is most likely a hardware problem with your particular iPod, and you won't get different answers by posting more threads on the topic. If this was a bug in iOS 6, I'm sure we'd have seen many more posts on the problem, so this is more likely to be a problem with your iPod, not with iOS 6 itself.

  • Why apple has not fixed or atleast responded to users on LION Overheating issue???

    I am having a MacBook Pro 13 bought last year.
    I was happy with my snowleopard but, my friend sugested to upgrade to LION, paid all money and upgraded to LION,
    Within a week overheating started, and it was difficult to keep it on my lap.
    I have tried all the tricks mentioned in apple communities and other websites to solve this heat ,, sorry OVERHEATING issue .. but no benefit....
    My MacBook Pro 13 had been thouroughly checked in apple serivce centre and no hardware issue had been found for the heat issue... so its LION only...
    Also to mention that i use very less number of applications opened at a time, like firefox, chrome and itunes. So the heating is not due to usage of heavy applications .
    After searching the whole interenet and apple community forum, i am surprised to see that there is no response from anyone in apple.. dont they periodically check what apple users are facing.. ?? dont they monitor the apple community so that they can fix the issues before it gets out of hand.....
    I think Apple doesnt care on whats happening in Apple community portal, so we all are on our on... 
    I had a very good impression abt apple. until before upgrading to Lion... crap my MONEY IS GONEEE.
    For anyone who got solution for this issue, other than the trick to delete Citrix plugin, disable spotlight etc, I am ready to welcome any new WORKING solution for this OVERHEATING...

    @@ds store i am thinking the same now...
    @@Eric. i did trying that 2 weeks back itself.. no improvement
    @@OGELTHORPE i already have the iStat Pro. this we can monitor the heat. thats it.. this wont solve the issue.
