Does apple have program for kids and adults with learning disabilities

My daughter has learning disabilities and we were wondering if Apple has program that supports adults with disabilities. We thought that the gps function and Siri would be a wonder tool to help her if she gets lost. We want to teach her independence and so that means letting her do things on her own. We want to get her an Iphone but have to wait untill our contract comes due. Any suggestions on who to contact at Apple?

I don't believe that Apple makes any specific programs for "people with disabilities". That is term covers such a broad range of issues! People who are blind have different needs than people with autism or people with spinal cord damage. Apple does include various accessibility options as part of the iOS.
However, just because Apple doesn't create such apps doesn't mean they don't exist. I would start be looking around the App Store (which you can do by downloading iTunes to your computer). There will no doubt be general purpose apps that can be useful as well as apps designed for specific needs. Also, contact a support group for whatever specific disabilities your daughter has. They may have a forum or blog where useful apps are discussed. Do an Internet search for apps and her specific issues.
Best of luck.

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.

Does Apple have fix for the Canon Digital Camera issue and 4.7 update??

Hi All,
does anyone have any info about a fix for the communication issues with canon digital cameras and PPC users who updated to 10.4.7?
I think it's sad that a machine peopole buy to use for graphics can no longer download picture from a digital camera after up-daing software, as Apple recommends........
Alos, what is the kernel fix....?? any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Bill Anderson

Hi,
What apple are you running?
I have a Digital Rebel XT with PPC G4 with update 10.4.7. And many users with PPC and the update are having the same issue.
Also, if apple would get their updates to the other groups (e.g CANON), then maybe these issues would not come up, but Canon told me "We just can not keep up with Apple updates, and we got the intel versions working, but PPC have toubles..."
OS updates should not affect peripherials such as digital cameras, and the computer does recongize the camera on the USB connection.
thanks,
Bill Anderson

Example program for returninng and importing with value addition

HI ,
I want few example programs on how to use the abap oops with returning addition and importing with value addition as Im getting syntax error for the Program when Im declaring them with these additions
Thnaks .

Hello,
This statement declares a general instance method meth. Use additions ABSTRACT and FINAL to make the method abstract or final.
The additions IMPORTING, EXPORTING and CHANGING define the parameter interface of the method. After every addition, the corresponding formal parameters are defined by a specification of the list parameters.
The other additions determine which exceptions the method can propagate or trigger and determine whether the method is abstract or final.
Note
Within a method, you can use the logical expression IS SUPPLIED to check whether an actual parameter was assigned to an optional formal parameter at the call.
Addition 1
... IMPORTING parameters PREFERRED PARAMETER p
Effect
IMPORTING defines input parameters. When calling the method, you need not specify an appropriate actual parameter for every non-optional input parameter. During the call, the content of the actual parameter is passed to the input parameter. The content of the input parameter - for which the reference transfer is defined - cannot be changed in the method.
Use PREFERRED PARAMETER to identify an input parameter p1 p2 ... of list parameters after IMPORTING as a preferred parameter. This specification makes sense only if all input parameters are optional. When calling the method with the syntax
CALL METHOD meth( a ).
the actual parameter a is assigned to the preferred parameter if you have appropriate use of a functional method at an operand position.
Addition 2
... EXPORTING parameters
Effect
EXPORTING defines output parameters. When calling the method, you can specify an appropriate actual parameter for every output parameter. The content of the output parameter - which is defined for value transfer - is passed to the actual parameter at the call after the method has been completed successfully.
Note
An output parameter that is defined for the reference transfer is not initialized when the method is called. Therefore, no read access to it should take place before the first write access.
Addition 3
... CHANGING parameters
Effect
CHANGING defines input/output parameters. When calling the method, you must specify an appropriate actual parameter for every non-optional input/output parameter. The content of the actual parameter is passed to the input/output parameter at the call, and after the method has been completed, the content of the input/output parameter is passed to the actual parameter.
Example
The method read_spfli_into_table of this example has an input and an output parameter, which are typed fully by reference to the ABAP Dictionary.
CLASS flights DEFINITION.
PUBLIC SECTION.
    METHODS read_spfli_into_table
       IMPORTING VALUE(id) TYPE spfli-carrid
       EXPORTING flight_tab TYPE spfli_tab.
ENDCLASS.
Addition 4
... RAISING exc1 exc2 ...
Effect
Use addition RAISING to declare the class-based exceptions exc1 exc2 ... that can be propagated from the method to the caller.
For exc1 exc2 ..., you can specify all exception classes that are visible at this position and are subclasses of CX_STATIC_CHECK or CX_DYNAMIC_CHECK. You must specify the exception classes in ascending order corresponding to their inheritance hierarchy.
Exceptions of the categories CX_STATIC_CHECK and CX_DYNAMIC_CHECK must be declared explicitly, otherwise a propagation results in a violation of the interface. An interface violation results in a treatable exception CX_SY_NO_HANDLER. Exceptions of category CX_NO_CHECK are always implicitly declared.
Notes
The declaration of exceptions of category CX_STATIC_CHECK is checked statically at the syntax check. For exceptions of category CX_DYNAMIC_CHECK, the check is executed at runtime.
In a method in which class-based exceptions are declared with the addition RAISING, you cannot use the statement CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS. Instead, handle the relevant treatable exceptions in a TRY control structure.
Example
In class math, you can propagate all exceptions represented by class CX_SY_ARITHMETIC_ERROR and its subclasses from within method divide_1_by. If, for example, the input parameter operand is filled at the call with the value 0, then the exception CX_SY_ZERODIVIDE is triggered, propagated, and can, as shown in the example, be handled by the caller in a TRY control structure.
CLASS math DEFINITION.
PUBLIC SECTION.
    METHODS divide_1_by
       IMPORTING operand TYPE I
       EXPORTING result TYPE f
       RAISING   cx_sy_arithmetic_error.
ENDCLASS.
CLASS math IMPLEMENTATION.
METHOD divide_1_by.
    result = 1 / operand.
ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.
START-OF-SELECTION.
DATA oref TYPE REF TO math.
DATA exc TYPE REF TO cx_sy_arithmetic_error.
DATA res TYPE f.
DATA text TYPE string.
CREATE OBJECT oref.
TRY.
    oref->divide_1_by( EXPORTING operand = 4
                       IMPORTING result = res ).
    text = res.
CATCH cx_sy_arithmetic_error INTO exc.
    text = exc->get_text( ).
ENDTRY.
MESSAGE text TYPE 'I'.
Addition 5
... EXCEPTIONS exc1 exc2 ...
Effect
Use addition EXCEPTIONS to define a list of non-class-based exceptions exc1 exc2..., which can be triggered with the statements RAISE or MESSAGE RAISING in the method. You specify identifiers exc1 exc2 ... for the exceptions to be defined at will and directly. Exceptions defined in this way are bound to the method - similar to formal parameters - and cannot be propagated.
If such an exception is triggered in a method and no return value has been assigned to it in the addition EXCEPTIONS of the CALL METHOD statement in the method call, then a runtime error occurs.
Note
The additions RAISING and EXCEPTIONS cannot be used simultaneously. For new developments starting at release 6.10, we recommend to use class-based exceptions, which are independent of the respective method.
Example
In the class math, for method divide_1_by an exception arith_error is defined, which is triggered in the method with the RAISE statement if an arithmetic error occurs. If, for example, the input parameter operand is filled with value 0 at the call, the exception arith_error is triggered in the method-internal handling of exception CX_SY_ZERODIVIDE and handled after the call of the method by evaluating sy-subrc.
CLASS math DEFINITION.
PUBLIC SECTION.
    METHODS divide_1_by
       IMPORTING operand TYPE I
       EXPORTING result TYPE f
       EXCEPTIONS arith_error.
ENDCLASS.
CLASS math IMPLEMENTATION.
METHOD divide_1_by.
    TRY.
        result = 1 / operand.
      CATCH cx_sy_arithmetic_error.
        RAISE arith_error.
    ENDTRY.
ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.
START-OF-SELECTION.
DATA res TYPE f.
DATA oref TYPE REF TO math.
CREATE OBJECT oref.
oref->divide_1_by( EXPORTING operand = 4
                   IMPORTING result = res
                   EXCEPTIONS arith_error = 4 ).
IF sy-subrc = 0.
WRITE res.
ELSE.
WRITE 'Arithmetic error!'.
ENDIF.

How long does Apple usually take for revising and accepting an App?

It's beeing 4 days since I sent my App and I'm still waiting for news from Apple. Have any of you guys ever sent an App? if so, how long did it take?

One program for pc and mac with different imports

I am trying to port my Java program from the PC to the MAC. I would like to have one program that works on both, the PC and the MAC. So I am using the
if (System.getProperty("mrj.version") == null) //PC
else //MAC
condition to see if I am on the PC or MAC for making sure that the About menu is at the Help menu on top of the application window (PC) or at the Program menu on top of the screen (MAC) and the Control key (PC) or Command key (MAC) is used.
However, the Mac also uses additional imports, such as
import com.apple.laf.*;
import com.apple.mrj.*;
import com.apple.eawt.*;
I cannot make an if statement before the imports. How can I make sure that the imports are only used on the MAC?
Thanks for your time!

>
..my program has a GUI...>Cool. OK - if you have not tried applications launched by JWS (Java Web Start) it is usually handy to get a feel for how they work for the end user. The biggest difference is between sandboxed applications, and ones that request extended permissions in the form of either j2ee-application-client-permissions or all-permissions. The first removes the warning banner from the bottom of windows, and adds a few other allowable actions, while the latter is, as it implies - all permissions.
Examples of all-permissions/sandboxed can be seen in this [demo of the JNLP fileservice|http://pscode.org/jws/api.html#fs].
>
.. It is a computer graphics program, and it has a Tools palette where you can specify what and how you want to draw or select or move, and it has a Measurements palette, where you can use numbers for your drawing.>Does it offer to export the resulting graphics (e.g. save them to disk)? Does the program load graphic objects from disk? The reason I pointed to a demo of the differences between sand boxed and trusted apps., is because if the app. wants to 'access the local disks' it will either need to request all-permissions or as demonstrated in the example, use the [JNLP API|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/jre/api/javaws/jnlp/index.html] (a group of classes only available to apps. launched by webstart) to do common things like access disks or printer, or take control of downloads...
If you click the [Launch File Service (sandboxed) demo|http://pscode.org/jws/filetest-sandbox.jnlp] link, you can see what the experience would be like for the end user if the app. were converted to use the JNLP API for file I/O and was delivered entirely sandboxed.
Of course, if your app. could work entirely sand boxed, like an applet - no code signing or extra permissions would be necessary, but that is uncommon for a desktop application.
>
So could you please give me some explanation or reference how to do launching it using webstart, and putting the mac specific resources into a resource section flagged for the Mac? >Launching an app. via webstart is not entirely 'simple', especially if you are new to it. OTOH it is well worth the effort - for the sake of the end user.
The very basics of webstart is that you create a JNLP file to launch the app., I guess it is similar to the Mac .plist (or whatever they are) that you are discussing in another thread. Java JNLP files are a form of XML. Here is an example of what one might look like for an app. that provides different resources to different OS.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jnlp spec="1.0"
      codebase="http://ananya.com/lib"

..Well, I am a complete beginner at this.>It can be a steep learning curve to first use JWS successfully, but it is well worth it.
There is a good [overview of webstart|http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Programming/jnlp/], but I also find it handy to keep the documentation on the [JNLP file syntax|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/javaws/developersguide/syntax.html] nearby.
Unfortunately many IDEs (and people) are not that competent at writing JNLP files, so I provide a JNLP XSD and [YAX-V|http://pscode.org/xml/xmltools.html#yaxv] to validate them.

I just purchased an ipad, and now my husband is seriously thinking of purchasing one also. When we buy a book do we have to make 2 purchases of the same book for each ipad? Or does Apple have the same arrangement as the Amazon kindle.

I have just purchased an Ipad, and now my husband is seriously thinking of also acquiring one. When we purchase books must we buy 2 of each title, or does Apple have a similar arrangement as the Amazon kindle?

If you use the one iTunes account between the two of you then you can both download the ibook onto your iPads - I have some of my ibooks on both my iPad and iPhone. If you decide to have separate iTunes accounts then if you use the same computer's iTunes to sync to (with both accounts authorised on it) then you should be able to sync the book to iBooks on both devices.
If you have separate accounts and sync to separate computers then you can copy the ibooks between the computers via, for example, a flash-drive and add it to the second computer's iTunes (File > Add To Library). There is a risk that if you sign into the second iPad (or computer) with a different iTunes account and re-download one of its past purchases that the iPad (or comptuer) will become tied to that account for 90 days, so copying it over manually would be better than re-downloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

Ipod nano 2nd gen, 5 years old, has short battery life. Can the battery be replaced? If not, does apple have a replacement program? how much?

Details:
5 year old 2nd Gen Ipod nano only works for an hour the most. Battery may be approaching end of life.
Can this still be replaced? if not, what are my options? Does apple have a replacement program?

Just would like to share with you, my experience with a friend's Nano with a smiliar problem
The battery level could be too low to boot up the OS of the iPod, which even may corrupted (if you see a folder icon).
The best way to fix it, is to connect it with different device other than your PC as it is likely not get charge at all, e.g.
1. car charger
2. ac charger
3. ipod speaker dock system
4. using firewire cable
5. with a Mac computer
The key is to charge the battery level up to the minimum for you to put your Nano into disk mode
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
once you see the "tick" mark, connect it with a computer, and try to do a Restore for your iPod. In case you still do not manage to get your iPod to be recognized by a PC, I am afraid you have to connect it with a Mac, very likely it will allow you to do a Restore as I did last night

<Edited by Host>

Sorry, but that opportunity has long passed. Your options now are:
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
     Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
         See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

Does iPad air have flash for pictures and video rec.?

Does iPad Air have flash for camera and video rec.?

Do you mean flash the program? or flash as in a camera flash?
The answer to both is no.
Apple products do not natively support the flash program. ANd iPads do not have the LED light for a flash.

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?

I bought an ipad 3rd gen 5 months ago. Does apple have a trade in program to purchase the 4th gen?

Really?!? As an Android phone user, I find that Apple does everything the hard way. Android is much simpler to use, in my opinion. You want to delte a photo or an app? Just delete it from your device. It won't keep popping by up every time you do a sync with iTunes........oh, wait. You don't have to do that on an Android device .
Good thing I like Android, because after today's announcement, when my now obsolete, no longer being made or sold iPad 3 bites the dust (obviously sooner than later since Apple is no longer making it for "some" reason......hint, hint) I will return to an Android device for my next tablet. I waivered back and forth numerous times before I decided to go with the iPad 3 over an Android tablet. My bad! Thanks, Apple. Lesson learned.
