Does Apple do anything now about the 5th Gen Audio problem?

My 30gig has worked wonderfully up until 2 weeks ago. Suddenly no sound output. If I squeeze the lower right side near the wheel I will get a short burst of the song. I am not a daily user of it as I'm always nervous about hurting it,so I've maybe used it as much in the last 4 years as some people do in 6 months. I've been using it on car trips so had my cable to hook it to the car radio.
I decided to start walking 2 weeks ago and couldn't find my headphones so I borrowed my 1o yr old daughters. No sound came out but I figured it was just because she had damaged her headphones. I finally went and bought myself a new set and headed out to walk last night,nothing.
I have read a few sites mentioning this problem back to 2007 and many people were able to get a free,out of warranty replacement. But I'm not seeing anyone have luck with it in the last 6 months.
To be 100% honest I had never wanted an Apple product but my husband,parents and brother went together to get this for me. I had fallen in love with it and had started putting money away to get my girls Touches for christmas but have changed my mind on that. If mine breaks sitting on my dresser than what will happen to theirs?!

4 years is actually pretty good compared to what most get, which is usually 2 - 3 years. These things are not designed to last forever and different components have a tendency to burn out over time. That's the case which just about anything you purchase, especially when its something with moving parts.
You can try calling Apple support anyways and presenting your case, but they are under no obligation to replace it since it's well out of warranty.
Sorry.

Why does appple not support Firewire to the 5th Gen ipods?

I just picked up a new 5th gen iPod and am upset that it does not allow for connection to my older G3 iMac via Firewire (as did my older iPod Photo 40).
I can connect it using usb 1.0 but that connection is painfully slow. Why not support Firewire conectivity? Perhaps Apple wants to force me to buy a new computer?
G3 imac (CRT) Mac OS X (10.3.9)

"Apple is aware that iMac users could use Firewire with older iPods, but not my new one. It has nothing to do with updating computer hardware."
While it is true there is nothing you can update on your computer to make the iPod work on a Firewire port, it has everything to do with the fact that the iPod no longer supports the HARDWARE (i.e. chipset) for Firewire transfer in the iPod itself. It has been this way for well over a year now.
"IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME THAT I NOW HAVE TO USE USB WHERE I USED FIREWIRE TO SYNC IN THE PAST."
Extending your flawed logic further, I used to be able to use SCSI drives, ADP keyboards and Mice, AUII network ports, RS-422 serial ports, etc. so should I still be able to use those now? How's that floppy drive working out on your Mac? Used to be those as well, so I guess your Mac has one now?
"This feature is dreadfully slow,"
Yes, USB1.1 ports are very slow which is why all Mac computers for MANY years now, have all come with USB2 ports for high speed transfer. While I know it ***** when you have an older computer that doesn't support the latest in higher speed ports, but you can not expect Apple to support all port types forever on every device and machine.
When the original iMacs came out, everyone moaned and complained about the loss of a floppy drive and all the devices that no longer would work, like tablets, because there were no ADB ports and all the external SCSI drives that couldn't be used. Guess what, everyone got over it and moved on. Now you would laugh it Apple put a floppy drive into a new machine.

What does Apple plan to do about the JAVA issue?

I was out of town on business last week and took my brand new MacBook Pro with me to stay connected to my work VPN. However, I was unable to connect to the VPN the entire time I was away. I found out from out IT department today that it is due to Apple not allowing any programs that require JAVA. Is anyone else dealing with this issue? What is being done about it? If I cannot use my laptop to connect to my work VPN then it is useless to me. If Apple does not come up with a solution quickly, I will be returning my brand new MacBook Pro for a windows based laptop that allows me to function at work. This is a shame because I was very excited to have an apple laptop....very disappointing!

There was a major vulnerability in Java that was being actively exploited to drop malware on both Windows and Mac OS X. Oracle, who is responsible for Java, was slow to get a fix out, so Apple blocked the vulnerable versions of Java in the web browser. (Mozilla did the same with their Firefox browser.) Updates are now available for Java that work in Mac OS X again.
Java has been a repeat source of major vulnerabilities and malware over the last couple years. It is EXTREMELY insecure. If your business is relying on web-based Java applets for secure communications, your business' IT department is collectively insane.

Has Apple done anything to address the issue of Mountain Lion's inability to support Epson printers? I have a Stylus Photo RX620 that now is useless. I am not a computer geek so would rather not try to do an uninstall of Mt. Lion and go back to S.Leopard

Have you tried to open System Preferences, then Print & Scan and then try to Add + a printer?
I have an Epson RX580 and am using OS X 10.8.2 and it is working as a (Bonjour) printer. My Epson RX580 is plugged into my AirPort Extreme and I can print over my wireless network to the RX580. However, I do not see any Scan options with this setup.
Anyone know anything about getting the scanning portion of the RX580 to work over the network like the printing function does with my Airport Extreme? Or can I not "share" a scanner over the USB port on the Airport Extreme? I know, kind on topic/off topic - but I think it fits under OS questions better.
Thanks for your advice!

Nothing. The 2nd Gen Touch is OBSOLETE and is WAY past its support life. If you want to run the newer apps you have to buy a newer iPod.

Ipod touch does not do anything stuck on the apple logo screen.

You may need to hold the sleep/wake button and the home button until the apple logo appears. Or anther thing you can try is draining the battery until the battery is dead. That's what i tried and worked. You may need to do those things more than 2 times. OH anther thing is you can try connecting you ipod to your computer and see if it appears on itunes. If those don't work you can send it to apple. So that's what helped me I hope I answered your question.

I have an iPhone 5 and a PJ205 ipico Handheld LED Personal Projector for Apple iPhone 4. I bought the apple adapter but now need the app. Apple's App Store doesn't have it anymore, where can I get one?

Hi Chris.
It's asking you for my apple id password. not going to give that out, sorry.
However I did try this projector on my mother in laws iphone 4 and on my old iphone 3. ipico software isn't needed. plug and play any video through standard movie player or camera saved video.
I tried on my girls iphone 5 with the adapter. The ipico software and projector doesn't work on this phone.
Hope this helped you. Better to buy a used iphone 3 or 4 and use it for video storage.
I also found that the battery on these projectors are a joke (30-60mins max). I rigged a longer lasting battery on the outside and keep it plugged in while using. This doesn't charge the phone though so I replaced the battery in the old iphone 3 and now get at least a full length movie from it. Great in bed projected onto the ceiling.

HT5423 Does Apple have anything official documentation listing compliance with UN38.3, UL 2054, and UL 60950-1?

While it's nice to claim compliance in a Press Release, does Apple have anything official backing this up, like a test certificate, or at lease a Statement of Conformity listing UN38.3, UL 2054, and UL 60950-1? These aren't listed in Apple's "Important Product Information Guide."

Obviously aviation is a special use of the iPad. You come to a forum of regular users with an attitude about Apple and it takes numerous posts before you so much as give us a hint as to your (alleged) real needs. Perhaps if you're really interested in the information, rather than simply trying to make some sort of a point, you would ask United Airlines or American Airlines why they chose the iPad. Naturally, you could also ask the FAA why they gave their approval. In fact, you could always ask Apple, which apparently you never did.
On the other hand, you could simply stay here foolishly trying to make a point about Apple.

No.

Hello elabbady2002
The only option you have when it comes to Activation Lock is trying to get in contact with the previous owner, as they are the only one that can remove it.
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
Contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps to remove the device from their account:
Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
Click All Devices to open a list of devices linked to their account, then select the device to be removed. It should show a gray dot or the word “Offline” next to the device name.
Click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from their account.
After the device is removed from the previous owner’s account, turn the device off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button located on the top-right side of the device. Then restart your device and proceed with device setup as you would normally.

Does apple replace my phone if the home button keeps falling off?

does apple replace my phone if the home button keeps falling off?

Yes.
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

Rob, others,
For CS6 (as for CS5 and CS5.5), registration with Adobe forms part of activation, so none of them can be run without Adobe having your registration number.
So they must have it, and you must be able to get it, through your Adobe ID, or if that has changed through some other information such as name, email address, or something.
You should be able to get help one of these places if needed,

My screen cracked, does apple care or warrant cover the costs?

Yes, unless the damage occurred due to an accident. In other words the warranty is applicable only if the crack occurred due to a manufacturing defect.
