Does Apple have rechargeable keyboard/mouse in their product line?

Does Apple manufacture a rechargeable mouse/keyboard? And if not why not? It makes alot more sense than the magic mouse/wireless keyboard I currently have where I am constantly changing batteries every couple of weeks.

Per the O.P. the problem isn't just not having enough batteries. It's changing them out and having to reacquire the device every couple weeks.
I used to go through that all the time with a Windows keyboard and mouse. MAJOR pain in the backside when you're in the middle of desiging a client's business logo in Photoshop, and suddenly your mouse dies, and you have to stop, change out the batteries, reaqcuire it, check that it ISN'T a few pixels off, and then you can go back to work.
That's the beauty of the Logitech. It warns you when it's getting low, you plug the USB in and you can still use it while it charges. And since the keyboard is always charging (whenever there's light), you never have to worry about it.

  • Does Apple Pay for Ideas That Makes Their Products Better

    Hello
    I have been a PC systems engineer for eons, and have in the past few years moved to the Apple realm, Love it.
    I have had a few patents under my belt, that I have sold in the past, and also have gotten paid to help companies make their products better.
    I have an SUPER! idea to make an Apple product much better, that I feel will be welcomed by 100% of it users. Yes, 100%.
    Any idea where to start with Apple. I have a few kids that still eat and go to school, and I paid dearly for my education. I feel that I should get paid for this, if they were to use it.
    Thanks all.

    I do understand your desire to obtain rewards for the work you do, but frankly, if your ideas pertain to the improvement of Apple's products through their system software or hardware, it's best for them to do it all anyway since for your ideas to work, they'll have to make implementations of them within their product development ecosystem.  If Apple implement your ideas up-front, they have much more incentive to maintain the work afterwards, because it will become a part of their products.
    However, if you have ideas that you can implement above the programming APIs of their system software, then I'd think it'd be better to implement your ideas yourself, and sell them as products at the App Store (or however way you wish to distribute and sell your ideas as products).
    And you can control the use of your ideas much more wisely (by copyright, patent, implementation, whatever) as actual products that implement your ideas rather than just leaving vapour-trails of your thoughts.
    Good luck in your endeavours!  I can see that Apple do have ways for programmers to be successful (through the Developer Connection in particular), however, your first step into that world will have to involve registering as a developer and making a product for yourself which you can sell (Apple would gladly help you sell your products on the App Store) rather than as merely a contribution that influences or affects Apple's own product developments.  Take a look at http://developer.apple.com/ to get started!

  • Does apple have an issue with magic mouse and adobe

    does Apple have a problem with magic mouse and Adobe Photoshop/Indesign/Illustrator, scrolling uncontrollable, pages moving of their own accord etc.
    If so, whats the cure and why does Apple not admit to it?
    Badgolfer4

    it's rare that a mouse would perform in a different manner between different applications
    I would troubleshoot with other apps to see if it was just adobe apps
    and then I would troubleshoot by trying a different mouse
    could be the mouse was defect

  • 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 an inactive account manager data policy?

    Does Apple have an inactive account policy? Like Google has for example wherebt you can choose what happens to your data after an x amount of time (which you choose). This would be good if you die or fall in a coma or whatever. You can choose someone else you nominate to be able to access your data or you can choose to have it deleted forever. Please advise if you know.

    To the best of my knowledge, Apple does have a lemon policy, but I don't know that it is explicitly stated anywhere. I have heard of people being able to get their computer replaced after a series of major repairs.
    Since you are a long ways from an Apple Store, it would probably be best to call Apple and ask to speak to Apple Customer Relations. They are a special tier at Apple whose mission is to solve problems that have not been solved at a lower level and to try to make Apple customers happy. They are also able to authorize a replacement machine.
    Get together all of your repair records and case numbers if you have them and call and make your case. Be very polite and nice, but let them know how disappointed you are both with your machine and with the service you have received so far which has still not fixed everything. Do mention the many hours of your time that have been wasted in trying to get your Mac fixed satisfactorily.
    In the future, it may be better to send your Mac off to an official Apple repair depot instead of trying to get it fixed at an Apple Store. My niece did that, and had very fast turnaround, sending hers off Tuesday at 6:00 PM and getting it back before noon on Thursday. To do that, you call Apple, and they will send you a special shipping box.
    Good luck!

  • 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".

  • 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 do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • 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

  • Does Apple have a web download of Snow-Leopard compatible QuickTIme 7?

    I installed Snow LEopard onto my MacBook Pro 15" on Friday at work. I left the Snow Leopard install disc there, and now at home I realize I did not install QuickTime 7 and I need this to be able to work proficiently in FCP.
    I keep reading that you can download QuickTime 7 at Apple bit every time I try and install after download it says that it is not compatible with this OS.
    Does Apple have a Snow Leopard compatible version of QuickTime 7 available as a download? Or am I screwed and have to wait until Tuesday to get to wotk and install from the disc? Why does it have to be so difficult?
    Dan

    There's also an installer on the "Utilities" or "additional components" installer on the Snow Leopard disc.

  • Does apple have update to idvd so I can use Sony dcr-sx44 camcorder

    Does apple have an update to idvd so I can use sony dcr-sx44 camcorder?

    If you already have iDVD then run Software Update, if there are any updates available for iDVD they will be posted. While that doesn't answer your question directly it is your best option. Looking at the software specifications for the camera it doesn't look like it was ever intended to work with OS X. This is what I found on Sony's website:
    Software
    Supplied Software : PMB Ver.5.0 Supports Windows XP Service Pack3 (SP3)(32bit), Windows Vista Service Pack2 (SP2) (32bit), Windows 7, 64-bit editions and Starter (Edition) are not supported. Not supported by Mac OS.
    Operating System Compatibility : "Windows XP SP3 * /Windows Vista SP2 ** /Windows7 * 64-bit editions and Starter (Edition) are not supported.The Windows Image Mastering API(IMAPI)Ver.2.0 or later is required to use the function for creating discs. ** Starter (Edition) are not supported. Standard installation is required. Operation is not assured if the above OS has been upgraded or in a multi-boot environment. "
    I suspect a camera upgrade may be what you need to do.

  • Does Apple have a way to manage iTunes accounts on Corporate owned devices, meaning if someone leaves the company how does the company access the purchase apps as they are the owner of them.

    Does Apple have a way to manage iTunes accounts on Corporate owned devices?  So, if someone leaves the Corp. how would the company have access to all purchased apps for any device.

    If the apps were purchased using a corporate iTunes account, someone at the company should have the password. If they were purchased under a user's iTunes account, even though the device was owned by the company, the apps are tied to the user's Apple ID and do not belong to the company.
