Does Creative have ANY plans to release a proper non-beta X-Fi Titanium W7 driver???

I've been trying to get a straight answer out of Creative through e-mail and phone calls regarding them releasing a NON-BETA driver for the X-Fi Titanium HD PCIe card. It's been 14 months since the last driver Creative approves of and doesn't label "use at your own risk". The Beta driver was released 7 months ago and and I have seen no sign that a future FINAL driver release will be coming except for on the driver download page creative says

The attempts at getting answers always result in an automated e-mail reply saying "thank you for contacting Creative about your concerns..." blah blah... and the person on the phone explaining to me that it's being worked on and will be released once finished. I bet if I called asking when the new "quad-core audio card with expandable ram, 4x PCIe, full 7.2 channel DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD encoding/decoding" will be available, I guarantee the guy at the call center will tell me that "we can not provide information on upcoming products. information will be provided only when the product is released".
btw... no such card has ever been rumored to exist. I just used it as an example of how informed their customer support is.
Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks in advance,

Reminds me of the driver support I received with my previous card, a Creative X-Fi Platinum. Creative released the card with buggy Windows 7 drivers which were followed up 6 months later with another buggy driver... then after another 14 months of waiting for a fix, they release a "Beta" driver which said the following in its description:
Take note of the following:
THIS IS AN UNSUPPORTED BETA DRIVER. There is no technical support for this driver.
We recommend that only experienced users install this driver. Do not install this driver on a system used to perform critical tasks.
Users who are looking for stable drivers should wait for the final release. When this happens, user should install the latest Sound Blaster X-Fi Series driver available.
So...Creative. Did you guys ever think it may be a good idea to honor your word when you specifically say there is a final release coming yet never release it? Between the X-Fi Platinum and my X-Fi titanium HD, I'm starting to see a pattern here. Is how you treat your customers?
And before you try and explain how complicated and time consuming revising a driver is, I know that any such excuse is a load of BS. I say this because during the past year a few guys in the Hackintosh community were able to create their own driver which allowed the X-Fi Platinum (PCI version) to run perfectly in Mac OS X 10.5/10.6/10.7. And they did it without the source code for other operating systems.
Btw... just by chance I noticed that both the X-Fi Platinum and X-Fi Titanium HD have Beta drivers, which oddly enough happened to be released only 4 days apart. Upon further inspection (decompressing the installers) I found out that both drivers are almost identical, except for the various device ID's in various ini files and the parameters specific to PCI or PCI-express.
It seems to me that Creative is using the same driver for both the old X-Fi and the new Titanium HD. This also explains why in Device Manager, both my previous card and the new Titanium HD are listed as "Creative SB X-Fi". Could you guys have at least spent a few minutes to change the Device Description and 'Friendly Name' to Creative X-Fi Titanium HD???

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?

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.

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....

Does Apple have any plans for iOS7S for iPods?

Now that all the current iPod touch owners are left hanging by iOS 7's memory requirement, does Jonathon Ivey have any plans to remove the iPhone code and release a smaller iOS 7S update for those millions who paid good money for a product that was made obsolete last month?

Apple has not made any announcement. Based on past history, I expect there to be no more update for the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

Do you Guys have any plan to release Photoshop for linux platform?

Hi Guys,
Do you have existing any photoshop or any plan to release Photoshop for linux platform?
Thanks,
Shailesh

This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.
Over at
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/
there is at least one long-running thread on the issue.
But if you should be unwilling to accept arguments that do not support your point of view it may not be worth the trouble to locate it.

Hello AkankshaSheoranKaler
We have done the following, but we aren't able to resolve this issue. Thank you for your help!
lf
“This happen if the software library is not accessible, readable or unmounted (if it is in shared file system).”
On Enterprise Manager server [nsn175-105], we did the following:
1. we modified /etc/exports to include this line: /export *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)
we start nfs service by executing command “service nfs start”.
On Management Agent server (nsn175-89), we verified that we are able to mount /export directory of EM server.
On Management Agent server, we started firefox browser and were able to run successfully https://nsn175-105.us.oracle.com:4904/empbs/genwallet
After making this change, we ran agent deployment again. We encountered the same error as shown above.
“You can fix the software library or you can download the agent bits in offline mode.”
For fixing the software library, select Setup->Provision and Patching->Offline Patching, then select Offline Patching radio button, download: https://updates.oracle.com/download/em_catalog.zip. Next upload this zip file.
“Try downloading the bits again”
We are not sure what agent bits are. Would you please explain this and provide procedure how we can download this?
(Here I have attempted to fix the software library, but I am new to Enterprise Manager and not sure how to interpret this).

Does Apple have any plan to allow to record phone call?

I have used my iphone 4 for almost 4 years, and I really love iOS because of it's strong function.
But my next cell phone may be the NEXUS, because I really need to a function of recording my phone call.
Why does Apple don't allow recording calls? Is there any plan to allow it?

I think illegal problem is not a good pretext for this matter.
Let's think about how Google deal with this matter.
There are too many people who are using iphone in the world, and there are various law system.
I am a Korean, and it's legal to recording direct phone calls in Korea.
Moreover sometimes recording files would be the best evidence in the court.
I really want this function.

Flickr uploading is a horrible experience. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make it better?

I am using iPhoto and I amd trying to upload several undred pictures to Flickr at a time.
The native iPhoto exporter hangs and crashes.
The Flickr Exporter plugin by ConnectiveFlow does the same.
The web based importer will also do the same and it can only do 200 pictures at a time.
I am considering Apeture, but does anyone have better experience with Apeture's native uploader?
Thanks

I don't believe there's a solution to that. I don't believe there's a way to upload hundreds at one go. But you could contact Flickr support and see what they suggest.

Does Mac have any plans to create and/or update drivers for multi-media hardware that is useless to me after "upgrading" to Mavericks? This is a waste of money for free..

I have found that since I "upgraded" to Mavericks, many pieces of audio hardware that was compatable with snow leopard is not compatable with mavericks. these machines are supposed to be the best for multi-media, now, without any warning, Mac has really messed this up. What are they thinking. I just converted from PC. Was it a $3000 mistake. MAC....Get BUsy, It can't be that hard to create some drivers that are compatable with common and popular pieces of hardware needed to do the projects I bought this thing for!!!!

similar problem here. running the latest 13 inch mbpr and ableton live software, mavericks obvsly.
experiencing crashes only with external soundcards attached. it happened with a usb interface (NI audio 2 dj) and with a echo audiofire 2 (firewire through thunderbold adapt.)
keyboard and trackpad got unresponsive after the crash with the usb interface as they run on the usb buss I suppose.
This is interesting: If i m running usb or firewire interfaces plugged in to my thunderbold display at home - i get 0 problems. it just works 100%
so what does this tell us? is the hardware of the macbook defective?
but why does the FW interface crash then when attached to the computer directly and not if attached to the display?
this is extremely frustrating. basically my job is using this machine on stage and i cant use it. i m back to my 2007 macbook now running 10.6, thinking about getting a USED machine which was before mavericks and haswell - think these are the issues and what i would like to know:
WILL THERE EVER BE A FIX FOR THIS ON THE LATE 2013 MBPr??

N97 Mini - Does nokia have any plans to update??? ...

I have a very simple question.
does nokia still support this phone?
I have always been an avid nokia supporter, but, recently, i have started to question my loyalty.
I, like many thousands of other n97 mini users paid a lot of money for the phone, yet, we seem to be left high and dry... there has been no improvements added for the phone since the last firmware update, no additions.. nada.
are we all expected to keep this phone with the lousy 12.*.* software and get nothing but a slow, almost useless phone? or are we going to get some kind of update?
or has it gotten to that time when we all say Hi Android?????

If I remember correctly, the last update was supposed to be an "interim" update until the next version/release came out. For what it's worth, since nothing has been forthcoming from Nokia, I've installed N-Desk which installs a much improved desktop application, similar to the I-phone's, and Maze Lock which provides an easier to use locking application. With both of these installed, you have a more consistent, easier to use interface. Enough so my wife has stopped complaining about how long it takes to get something done on the phone.
I still hope Nokia will come out with another release in the near future.
I hope this helps.

Does Apple have any planes to fix skip count on the itouch?

When I skip a song on my itouch and sync it later, the songs I skipped don't show as being skipped. This makes almost all of my smart playlist useless! I used to buy songs every Tuesday until i noticed my Itouch was playing songs i was tired of and had skipped many times. I hope it gets fixed soon.

NO, I'm not talking about the play count. The play count works fine. I use a smart playlist that says don't play songs i have skipped in the last year. When I skip a song on my itouch then sync the itouch to my itunes playlist no songs show that they have been skipped. If i skip a song in itunes it shows that it has been skipped. I've tried skipping songs on my itouch from 1sec to 45 sec and not once does it show that a song has been skipped.
This feature has worked for years, but stoped sometime last year and hasn't worked on any of the 3 ipods that I currently own. It must be an software issue. I have seen others complain about it, but no response from Apple about it.

Does Apple have any plans on making an Iphone app to control Logic Pro like Motu has done for Digital performer? They make it for free which is a HUGE plus!

i was wondering if Apple has any intentions on making an Iphone/Ipad app to remotely control Logic like Motu has for Digital performer. Motu has it available for free which is a huge plus but Id be willing to pay for one if Apple came out with one of its own.Im a little mift as to why it hasnt been done, Im sure they are capable of it.

I've been using Touch.OSC, from Hexler. It is not created by Apple but works like a charm on Logic. I've been using the app for over a year both on my iPad and my iPhone. Check the app on Hexler @ http://hexler.net/software/touchosc. Another app (which I still haven't tried) is lpTouch. You can get more info at http://www.delora.com/delora_products/lptouch/lptouch.html. Both are sold at App Store for $ 4.99. Yeah, it would be cool if Apple included its own iPad/iPhone app to control LogicPro on a future update... but for the stick price of the apps I've mentioned you might have a good 'bang for the buck".
