Does Apple have plans to introduce AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mountain Lion?

Does Apple have plans to introduce AirPort Utility 5.6 support for Lion? I ask as I have an older Airport Express that I would like to use for WDS and in using the AirPort Utility on my 10.7.4 Lion machine. If AirPort Utility 5.6 is not supported on Lion, is it supported on Mountain Lion?
Thank you.

My wife is very color deficient and has a hard time with the font colors in call log. Any way to change and does Apple have plans to correct?

My wife is color deficient and has a hard time with the font colors in the phone log and messaging. Is there any way to change color or background and does Apple have plans to correct this?

There are some minor settings in Accessibility that you can look at, however it really isn't much for color changing. As far as what Apple might have in mind, we are not Apple here, we are users like you. It is against the terms of service to speculate what Apple might have in mind.

Does Apple have plan about Thai Language support on "iPod" device? (especially iPod Classic)

Hello Guys,
My name is Dithapong from Thailand, and I'm one of the big fans of Apple products.
I love music, so the "iPod Classic" is the latest device I've bought. The sound is great, more than other iDevice
Only one problem for me, the iPod classic does not support Thai language,
so it's hard for me to play or search Thai song (it show 'blank' in iPod) which is my native language ><
So, I wanna know that, does Apple have plan to release new firmware which have Thai Language support on iPod device?
I and many iPod lovers in Thailand will be very much happy you (Apple) do.
Could you please give my an answer? whether it is Yes or No (with the reason)
Thank you very much
Dithapong

HT5022 I cannot install airport utility 5.6 on mountain lion

I have Airport Express that I can use it for streaming music from my iMac and Sharing Printer for home network computers.
I cannot manage the Airport express with Airport Utility 6.1.
It says I need to use Airport utility 5.6 to manage Airport express.
However, I also cannot even install Airport utility 5.6 on Mountain Lion iMac.
Then, How can I use my Airport express?
Is anyone know how to do it?

My wifi network is 802.11n but there are times changing for 802.11g, and have to restart ... after the update for Mountain Lion

My wifi network is 802.11n but there are times changing for 802.11g, and have to restart ... after the update for Mountain Lion... Help!!!
Several problems with Mountain Lion, APP STORE (login/logout error), WIFI(802.11n for 802.11g), MAIL (horrible)... Apple, what is happening?

Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

Cannot use airport utility 5.6 on mountain lion?

I upgraded to Mountain Lion and now cannot use my Airport Utility app. It tells me I need Airport Utility 5.6 now, but when I try to download it, it tells me that Mountain Lion does not support version 5.6
Does this mean I need to by a new Airport Base Station?

You can do the job also without any tools.

Does Apple have a buy back or an exchange programme for Ipods?

I have an Ipod classic 80gb and a touch 8gb. I want to get rid of the two and get an Ipod touch 64gb without having to throw the old ones in a bin. Is that possible.

Apple will give you 10% off the price of a new iPod if you trade in an old one. (Note, it's not 10% for each iPod. Turning in both wouldn't get you 20% off.) You'll probably get more for them if you sell them yourself. Why would you bin them if they work?

HT4262 How to configure Airport Express (first generation) from Mountain Lion 10.8?

In OS X 10.8 / Mountain Lion, when I open the Airport Utility (version 6.1) and attempt to configure my first generation Airport Express (b/g), the Airport Utility displays the error "This version of Airport Express cannot be configured with this version of Airport Utility. Download Airport Utility version 5.6." However, I cannot locate a download location for Airport Utility 5.6 which works on Mountain Lion (there is a version which works on Leopard and Snow Leopard).
Does this mean I can no longer configure my access point?
Or am I just overlooking the download location for Airport Utility 5.6 for Mountain Lion / 10.8?
Thanks!

See this thread for more info:

The pertinent info is as follows:
The 2nd Generation Express was introduced mid-June this year, so if you purchased your Express before that time, you either have a 1st Generation Express, or an even older model that did not use the "Generation" nomenclature.
Please check the label on the side of the Express and look for the Model No.
If you have the "old" version, you will see Model No A1084 or A1088.
If you have the 1st Generation Express, the Model No will be A1264.
If you do have the older version of the Express, unfortunately Apple will not allow you to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on your Mountain Lion machine. In other words, the "older" versions of the Express are no longer supported in Mountain Lion.
There are some "unofficial" or "unsupported" ways to do this....with no guarantees....so I am not sure whether you want to contact Apple Support or an Apple Store to see if Apple plans to introduce AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mountain Lion, or whether you want to try an unsupported procedure to see if it might work.

Airport extreme A1143 problem with mountain lion

what airport extreme software version works with mountain lion

I have an A1143 here and it works just fine with AirPort Utility 6.2 in Mountain Lion.
It also works fine with AirPort Utility 5.6, which I have on another Mac here.
All you can really do is try a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme to clear out all the old....and possibly conlficting.....settings and try to configure it again.
If you continue to experience problems, I would suspect a less than perfect AirPort Extreme....although I am sure that the seller claimed it was perfect.

Does Apple have any future plans to add the 8x DL SuperDrive to the 15.4"?

Just as the thread reads: Does Apple have any future plans to add the 8x SuperDrive (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) to the 15.4" MacBook Pro? I'm very interested in this unit for college, but I need to have DL burning capabilities.
Thanks!
Randy
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Actually it's not a question of when Apple feel like it.
The old Powerbook was 1.1 inches and had an 8x drive. The drive from the PB was too tall for the MBP. The 17 does not have the problem as it uses a "wider" drive, one too wide for the 15
So until someone manufactures an 8 speed drive as thin as the 4x drive Apple can't offer it.
I hope that helps somewhat - it may be an idea to look at what the major drive manufacturers are coming out with. Also the timings for Blue Ray and DVD HD may mean that Apple decide to skip going back to 8x drives anyway - of course that depends on the size of those drives and Apples MBP form factor staying the same.
Totally agree with what Rachel said also.
Best of luck.

Does Apple have any plan to add Persian support in iWork?

Does Apple have any plan to add Persian writing support in iWork?
like in the next updates?

There is support, OSX has 3 input methods for Persian:
Menu > System Preferences… > Language & Text > Input Sources > Persian/Persian - ISIRI 2901/Persian QWERTY
but OSX has general problems with placing cursors in the right position in R to L languages.
Mellel is currently the best solution for all the R to L languages.
You just missed getting it in a MacUpdate Bundle.

Does Apple have any plans for a similar app as Samsung S Drive?

Does Apple have any plans for a similar app as Samsung S Drive?
Samsung recently released 'S-Drive' - an app for their Samsung Galaxy program which only allows certain features to be used when driving. I much prefer my Apple iPhone, but as my children grow up, this is much safer. Thoughts?

Ah, sorry fellas, and thanks for clarifying that for me. I thought Apple would also have tech's who monitor / respond in these forums. My bad. Cheers though... and let's see what they (might) do.
Is there any way to encourage them / let them know of apps such as this and that it might be a good thing?

My I pad 3 constantly loses my wi fi signal. Does apple have any plans to correct this or should I return it. This was not an issue at all with the original one.

My new iPad 3 constantly loses the wi fi signal. Does Apple have any plans to correct this issue or should I return it. I had no problem with my original I pad. Both are in the exact same location in my house. I'm finding this very annoying and disappointing and am being forced to us my 4 g data plan

You may already have tried this, but before you completely give up, I'd check your home router software and also reset the router. I haven't seen this particular issue arise on these forums with new iPad devices, so perhaps it has to do with outdated software or configuration on the router not playing well with the new device....

I downloaded some home movies onto my IMac but could not find a way to burn them to a DVD. Does Apple have software to do this or do I need to purchase one. If so, what is recommended.

Do you want to create a video DVD that will plan on a TV set via a DVD player or just burn the video files to a data DVD disk for storage?
If the former the read the following:
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Softwareor eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
However, there are video DVD authoring apps that are available at the App Store that will create a video DVD disk. They won't be as extensive as iDVD but can create a simple video DVD.
iDVD 7.1.2 is compatible with iDVD but we don't if it will be with the next system generation.

Does Apple have any good way of managing iPhones for business?

I finally broke down and allowed iPhones into our company when Apple introduced the ability to provision phones like phones (e.g. don't have to teather them to a computer to set up). This and the "business" management tools opened the door, so we got about 30 of them.
WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE!!!!
Apple is now going backward. When a phone comes into our shop, we have to load up iTunes and get the phone to sync before we can do simple things like wipe the phone or troubleshoot "why did my bluetooth quit working". All of their "enterprise focus" seems to be around security and app control, with nothing I've seen for the day-to-day keeping things running. (Not saying app control and secuirty are unimportant, just not enough).
Does Apple have any good business management tools that I'm missing? I know about MDM, but too much setup for a relatively small number of phones. Besides, my understanding is the MDM only does app management / security policy. Right now we use Apple's stand-alone configurator. Fine for pushing policy and apps, but useless for troubleshooting and day-to-day management (like resetting a phone back to factory configs).
Also, is my carrior correct that Apple will not allow them to replace phones that have gone bad under warranty? They told me for the iPhones we have to physically take them to an Apple store for troubleshooting / replacement even after 100% identifying the issue! That is an hour (at least) wasted to send one of my folks to the store. I know we don't just have a bad carrior, becaue they happily send out replacement on other brands after troubleshooting over the phone.
I actually do like the overall look/feel of the iPhones. But unless Apple becomes much more corporate-friendly, I can only recommend that companies refuse to purchase any iDevice. BYOD, sure...but when you buy tens or hundreds of phones stick to Android, Blackberry, or even (sorry) Microsoft based devices.

Does not seem to work that way for us. We plug the phone in, and the first thing iTunes does is say the phone needs to be "authorized for this computer". It also states that the phone can only be authorized for x computers.
It then goes through it's jig while we wait, and finally comes up with the phone. Only then can we try to wipe / update the phone. We do stop the sync process, that automatically starts wanting to run. Maybe has to do with a version difference between what you use and what we use. I did notice that an older version of iTunes seemed a bit friendlier, but would not support our iPads.
However, when we were troubleshooting the bug where wireless / bluetooth quits working it was quite a bit more difficult than this for a phone a user handed us. Troubleshooting steps required that the phone be "restored" in iTunes. However, iTunes insisted on our providing a password that neither we nor the user knew. Maybe just learning curve, but it took about an hour before we were able to get that phone to a point where we could reset it.
Here is a sincere question for you, since you say you support a fleet of phones. Do you really NOT get annoyed when your tech has to take a iPhone to a computer with iTunes, plug it in, and work from there whenever there is a user issue that needs to have the phone wiped back to factory standard? This compared to being able to punch a few buttons on a different phone, right there in the users office, then hand it back to the user and say "your are fixed".
My only assumptions are that IT staff want to solve issues as quickly and efficiently as possible. Requireing a tech to deal with iTunes for simple procedures is not, IMHO, "as quick and efficient as possible".
