Does Apple Read These Posts

Transitioning from G4 Panther to G5 Tiger with many issues. Icons, preferences lost. NON-Apple Programs crash. Printer problems. Who needs this? Is anyone important listening to these complaints. I am an original Apple owner from AppleIIE and finally wonder why I continue with these frustrations.
How do you make G5 Tiger RELATIVELY problem free as was the G4 Panther I had for 6 years until the display died??
Please, any sites, knowledge, info welcome.
Thanks, Janet kreller

Hi Janet;
I have to agree with Peter on the fact that I haven't had any problems with my Panther to Tiger upgrade.
Since this is a user to user forum, venting to us will not do you much good.
If on the other hand you wish to tell us about your problems, what hardware you are running it on and how you upgraded maybe we might be able to help you solve your problems.

Does Apple read these posts? I'm having the same trouble connecting iphone4s to my 2012 Prius V. Apple said it was a Toyota problem. Apple needs to help us all!!!!!!!

Cannot connect new iPhone 4S to my Prius V bluetooth . Have been trying so many different fixes. Maybe if the almighty Apple read the posts, the problem could be fixed. Help!!!

From http://www.toyota.com/entune/what-is-entune/phones.html we read:
"Android™ and Blackberry® wirelessly connect your phone to the available Entune™-equipped Toyota using Bluetooth®. The iPhone® is connected via a USB data cable."
There's clearly something different about the iPhone's bluetooth capabilities than the other two phones. To say it's only Apple's or Toyota's problem isn't very helpful for anyone because, yes, Toyota should have designed Entune for full compatibility with iOS devices and, yes, Apple should have designed the iPhone to be at least as capable as the other phones wrt bluetooth.
I still don't know who to holler at.

Does anyone from Apple read these posts?

Just curious, because I see that many people report having the same problems, ye no one is able to provide a definitive answer as to how to fix them.
Any info would be helpful.
Thanks.

WRT to Apple employees and these discussions, see the *Who are the Apple Discussions personnel?* section in the Help & Terms of Use link.
If you or anyone else wants to report problems to Apple, either send Feedback or send bug reports and enhancement requests via its Bug Reporter system. To do the latter, join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure over submitting feedback is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

Does Apple read these? Well if they do. My iPhone 6 keeps restarting randomly after I updated it to iOS 8.1. apple PLEASE UPDATE AND FIX THIS PROBLEM!!

my iPhone 6 randomly restarts now. After I uplayed it to iOS 8.1. APPLE PLEASE RELEASE A PATCH TO FIX THIS PROBLEM!

DOES ANYBODY FROM APPLE ACTUALLY READ THESE POSTS?????

I'm beginning to wonder if anybody who works at Apple actually reads these posts. I've never seen so many posts with zero replies before... Where are all the supposed "gurus" that have been on this software since the beginning? Makes me think there must not be that many people using it, if it takes this long to get a response from the "knowledge base" that sold me the software.
Hello... is there anybody home?

Apple doesn't provide technical assistance here. It's possible they read some of the posts, but I am sure that they always go first to the feedback channel before wading through thousands of irrelevant messages in the forums, which are for user to user help.

Does anyone from Apple read these forums?

If a representative from Apple would read these posts, doesn't it seem like all of us who are having the same problem (the iPod Mini not being recognized by iTunes 6.0.1) would have been fixed already? Check out the number of posts that ALL have to do with this same issue - going back at least a month. This HAS to be related to the most recent software version. Does anyone know of a way (other than calling customer support and being charged for the call) to contact Apple and let them know there is a widespread problem with the iPod Mini and the most recent version of iTunes?

I can't seem to get iTunes up and running on my PC and am not getting any reply - I get the strange message "The folder iTunes can not be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the My Music folder. From what I can tell it is there but am unable to get things connected and running even after a de-install / re-install of the software. Getting frustated now - anybody out there with a suggestion?

So does anyone from Apple read the posts on here

With the battery drain issues being experienced by so many, especially those with iPhone 5, I'm wondering if anyone from Apple may have actually read these posts.With all due respect to the experts, it is clear to me that the iOS 7.1 update is causing this problem. I have turned off numerous functions on the phone, done a full back up and my phone is practically useless. I shot a 2 min video last night and then replayed it. My battery dropped from 75% to 33%. It's time Apple got the finger out and fixed this issue.

I've got some tips for you to save up more battery:
-close apps by multitasking
-do NOT use brightness to the max
-do NOT keep bluetooth, cellular data, wifi on when you do not need it
Make sure that apple's working on this issue since so many apple users have reported this issue
Try taking your iphone to the nearest apple store and show them your iphone, they'll test it and i guess there's an internal problem because i highly doubt that the battery could drop 42% in 4mins

Does anyone from apple read these?

I'm just wondering if any tech people from apple read these threads.... wouldn't it be nice if they would chime in when questions could be easily answered by the authors of this great software?

We know more about how to solve issues than the guys Apple hires. Better than their programmers, better than their tech support lines, better than the "Apple Geniuses."
REAL WORLD experience and all.

Can anyone tell me if anyone from Apple reads these forums

*Can anyone tell me if anyone from Apple reads these forums and does anything about the issues experienced?* I still have a faulty proximity sensor, even after the latest download. I went to the Apple Store and they told me to stop using it with the leather pouch, but it doesn't make any difference. I even tested the test models in the store and they did the same thing.
*Has anyone been able to fix the proximity sensor fault on their phone so that it doesn't come on whilst your talking?*
Someone please help. I loved my iphone 3G, but the iphone 4 has caused me to become so disappointed with Apple. I'm even thinking of moving to the Samsung Galaxy, which has Google Android capability, moving background wallpapers, bluetooth capability, video capability that is compatible the a variety of media players (not just Quicktime), the ability to send business cards to non-apple phones and the ability to be used as a USB drive without needing wifi or itunes.

These Forums are mostly users talking with users, now and then you may see the grey Apple icon of an employee/genius posting and the purple Apple of a Forum host but they aren't here to pass on feedback.
The best way to make your point is to send feedback here:

Tecra M5: DVD drive does not read these mini DVDs

I have canon dvd handycam, and mini dvd works on it. One month back i recorded movie and pictures on mini dvd using handycam and ran mini dvd on my tecra M5 dvd drive, it worked very fine.
Now after 1 month i have 5 mini dvds with movies and pictures which i took on 1 month vacation in diffierent countries, i tried my best but tecra dvd drive does not read these mini dvd, cd drive label appears instead dvd drive when i put mini dvd in it.
All other standard size dvds, cds working fine on it.Its complicated and as well as irritating.
Any suggestions?
Why its messedup?

Seems the lens cannot read this miniDVDs. Possibly the drive lens cannot calibrate and therefore the miniDVDs are nonreadable.
Try the solution from sascha. Maybe youre a lucky man and it works.
If not, try to remove the drive physically from the notebook. Reboot the notebook without the drive. The Windows and BIOS shouldnt recognize the drive.
Then shuts down again, put the drive into the notebook and boot up the unit.
The notebook should recognize the drive and should indicate the firmware again.
Im not sure if this will help you but its attemptable

Does anyone from NI read these posts?

What are the chances an NI representative would answer one of my posts? I don't seem to be having much luck here at the moment.

Yes, as you can see we monitor these posts and generally like the user community to respond to other users first. Generally we like to think of these forums as a tool for 'users helping users' foremost and a technical support channel secondly. If you have a direct technical question that you need resolved quickly, please use the 'Contact NI' link on the www.ni.com home page and request phone or email support. You will recieve a tracking number for followup purposes and we'd be happy to answer your questions in an immediate fashion when using these support channels.
However - keep these posts and questions coming! I definitely know they benefit all Multisim, Ultiboard, LabVIEW and hardware users using our tools for simulation, prototyping and testing purposes.

Does anyone from Apple read these threads?

I've had a problem with iTunes for over a week now. Apparently, it's a very common problem: "iTunes has encountered a problem..." at which point it never launches. I've tried all of the fixes suggested by Apple and even some from some of the other posters; all to no avail. *** is going on here?!?! Does apple really want people to defect and try other products? I've had my mini for just over a year now and due to crappy battery life, I was contemplating getting a nano. Not anymore. Not until Apple fixes this issue. Apple, are you listening?

Hi Katrina, After browsing the Discussions forum for an answer to a question, I read with interest your replies to several people. I am a Mac owner and I, like many others, find it difficult to contact Apple directly... but that's another issue. So I'm turning to you (and/or the forum).
I see you are using PC & Windows XP - &, if I remember correctly, I think you responded to some iTunes questions. Basically, I want to set up my Mum's old PC (Windows ME) with iTunes. I know there are compatability issues.
I am working remotely from Mum's PC at the moment because it's in the shop getting an upgrade. The only specs I can remember are: Pentium II; 300mhz for something or other; 128mb ram; a good Sound Card; and 2GB (I think) for overall memory. Sorry, I just can't remember. Suffice to say, it's no super computer, but by all accounts should be reliable and capable.
The old PC is incompatable with the newer versions of iTunes software , so my questions are, "Would an older version of iTunes work, & if so, do you know if I can download it from Apple?"
I've only used this forum once before, and am not familiar with the etiquette. Hope I haven't done anything wrong in trying to contact you directly (I tried to email you but didn't know how or where to send it.) If I could have worked out how to contact Apple, I would have done so. It seemed that every link I tried would tell me that they were not there to answer specific questions of the type I have just asked of you??? Hope you can help,

How Does Apple Determine What Posts Are Not Allowed to Remain?

Apple has deleted 2 posts that, while not favorable to Leopard, do not seem to violate any of the rules. I noticed that not all posts are favorable (naturally) but remain posted. Does Apple just search for the poster's user name and remove on that basis? I'll try posting the same message under another user name and see if it get's deleted or not. I am assuming that this message will be deemed to violate Apple's policy and Apple will remove this post very quickly.

So if one just says: I installed Leopard and lost all data and all third party applications and the Genius Bar could not fix and the data recovery place could not fix either in response to a posted question: "how was your experience with Leopard?" ..... is that a violation of the policy? It does not seem like it should be but that's the fact scenarioc
Yes. It has nothing to do with asking a specific technical question and asking for an answer.
This is not the Daily Agony Column that Holmes likes to read. It's not what you "seem" to want for a message board post.
The title here is Installation and Setup. I would ask a deeper question, however, which is why you would want to make such a post? To scare others? To make yourself "feel" better? What would be the point? You don't walk into a Post Office and start ranting about a letter you got from an Aunt who just cut you off in her will. I mean, you might, but why?
The fact is that there are many posts here on these boards that are unfavorable towards Apple and Leopard and even Apple staff. But they contain enough "meat" that they are not deleted.
Of the posts that I have seen vanish, most had nothing in them of any value. It's also interesting that many rants are from people who purportedly speak English but cannot spell simple words and know nothing about punctuation. In my holistic view of the world, I am not surprised that their computers crashed upon upgrading to Leopard. I keep repeating that it is all attention to details.

Does Apple Monitor These Forums?

Does Apple have any of their employees monitoring this forum to determine what questions are being answered or are there a large group of questions focused on the same issue without resolution? I ask because I can't seem to find a resolution to how does one go about setting up S/MIME using the Mail application on the Ipad 2. I have a Verisign certificate that works on several other computers that I own, but I can't find any directions on how to get the Mail application to import my certificate so I can then start to use S/MIME. I have purchased the OPENPGP application from the store, but I have many people who don't use OpenPGP. Any help would be appreciated.

No, these are user-to-user forums, they are not monitored by Apple - there are too many forums/threads/messages for that to happen.
In terms of your previous post/question it maybe that nobody who has read it knows the answer - I don't the answer, or even if there is one.

Does anybody from Adobe read these posts?

I would think that someone from Adobe would read this to see what is going on and help with repetitive issues. Seems that several are having a problem installing reader version 9 or upgrading to version 9.
See http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5b178/15
Count me as one with this problem, see my post to above thread, so far nothing in way of help with what appears to be an issue others are having also?

Are you kidding?
How many companies have forums that they SPECIFICALLY designate as 'user to user'?
They 'have' regular support forums where you can read (note: but not post) product support information.
'User to User' typically reads 'lip service'.
