For those of us who decided to wait...

With all the previous issues that 2.3.4 wrought, it seemed prudent to wait before rushing into the upgrade. Does anyone know if there is a way to eliminate the constant reminders that the upgrade has been downloaded and is ready for install since many of us are not interested in pursuing this option considering all that is going on for a 2nd time?

If the update has been downloaded already the update will continue notifing you about the installation and also if you dont power device down at night you may have the installation complete on its own during the night...
The only solution I see that may work is to contact the CS and have them disable the update push and then hard reset the device to remove update date.

Why haven't they done a patch for those of us who have not updated and prefer to use iOS 6?

Totally agree with Andy. Apple needs to support its users whether or not they decide to update to iOS 7.
The reviews from i Pad 3 owners (like me) is that when they've updated to iOS 7 they've experienced latency and sluggishness. Why would I ruin a perfectly good iPad by updating to iOS 7?
Please let me know where I can find a patch for iOS 6.
Thanks!

What is Apple doing for those iMac owners who failed to have their Seagate HD replaced by April 12, 2013?

What is Apple doing for those iMac owners who failed to have their Seagate HD replaced by April 12, 2013?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you purchased the iMac less than 3 years ago and it has got one of the defective hard disks, Apple will still replace it for free. Make a backup of your files with Time Machine and take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller. A Genius will check if your Mac was purchased less than 3 years ago.
If the computer is older, you will have to pay. Note that if you already have the iMac on April 12th, 2013 and before, and you knew that your iMac had a defective hard disk, you should have taken it even if the hard drive was working correctly

I'm deaf in one ear and need a stereo-to-mono earbud so I can use my iPod and iPhone. It is not good being able to hear only one channel. Can Apple consider making such a thing for those of use who need such a thing?

I'm not sure which version iPod you have, but I just checked my iPod nano (current generation) and it also has a Mono Audio setting in Settings>General>Accessibility.

For those of you who have the "Perfect Timing" ringtone from the commercial

I posted this in the plain 'ol phone forum but haven't got a response yet. I hope I get one here.
For those of you who have the ringtone from the iPhone TV commercial -- do you remember what portion of the song (or can you check in iTunes) you used for the actual ringtone? If you could tell me the counter (in seconds and minutes) that you started and ended your tone at, that would be great. I'm trying to get it exactly like the commerical but I don't think I have it just right. Thanks! By the way the song is called "Perfect Timing."

"I downloaded the free version of malwarebytes and ran it when my computer was in safe mode, which found 93 malware "issues" on my computer."
...and you're surprised that you had installation issues with iTunes? This makes me wonder whether others who report problems installing iTunes have computers that are equally infected! For reference, I just checked the logs from the last Malwarebytes scan (I run an automated scan twice a week) on my main iTunes system (on which, like the other iTunes instances I run, never seems to suffer from any installation issues) - zero issues

For all the folks who have to wait until Oct. 7

Yes, i am one of those guys who have to wait for my upgrade on October 7
How long do you think we are gonna have to wait to get the new iphone? its not looking very good for us, i've heard is gonna be something like 2-3 weeks, even a moth! what do you think?

Do you mean how long after you are eligible to order on the 7th? Or do you mean will you have to actually wait until then or will VZW be nice and let you order/purchase sooner? Like mentioned, it depends. If your local store(s) aren't sold out you may be able to just walk right in and purchase. There are a lot of people that aren't opting to pay full retail and so they'll take the loss of unlimited data and purchase on the 7th...which would mean a whole new "rush" of sorts that could cause delays. As far as how long will it take for you to receive it after you are able to order....depends on demand regardless of when you order. In general though, most people that preorder spend days stressing over the lack of tracking info...yet usually receive their device on or a day or so before the official release date. After that....it's hard to say. Just expect poor to slow communication as far as tracking info, shipping, etc....the last 2 iPhone releases seemed to be exactly the same on that issue.

RSD Repair - For those of us who do not have AppleCare

My 2.0 GHz MacBook has been suffering from the popular RSD issue for the past few weeks (I purchased it at the end of May). I was waiting for Apple to make some kind of formal statement about the problem before I sent it in for repair. I didn't want to end up like many of the people on these boards who have sent their MBs in for repair only to have to send it back in a second or even third time because Apple didn't fix the RSD issue. However, now it seems that perhaps Apple has figured out how to fix these computers, so I want to get mine repaired.
Since I bought my MacBook in May, I am past the 90-day period in which I would have free AppleCare phone support. I have tried registering online to set up an appointment with a Mac Genius at my local Apple retail store, but for the past 3 days I have been receiving the message that I can't sign up for an appointment because of unexpectedly high demand.
Can I call AppleCare free of charge just to get details on how to send in my MacBook for repair? I'm not going to pay $250 for the 3-year phone support and service contract.

If you plan on holding on to that MacBook for quite awhile, I would suggest getting AppleCare. Shop around for it. I recently got mine off eBay for $126.00.

If Apple is so full of geniuses, why can't they come up with a usb cable to connect the iPad to a printer? This would seem like the most intelligent first choice for those of us who are absolutely frustrated with iPad printing functionality.

My sister has an iPad and an HP printer. She cant' print from her iPad even though a genius at the Apple Store sold the combination to her with the idea that it would be easy to do. Instead, I have to go to her place with my MacBook, she sends me an email, and I hook up my laptop to her printer to print what she needs. Why can't the Apple geniuses come up with a USB cable and an OS update to make it easy and NOT SO FRUSTRATING to print from the iPad?
I've been a Mac user for fifteen years but I could not, in good conscience, recommend an iPad to anyone until Apple considers that ease of use does not include regularly getting frustrated with the easiest of tasks.

all printers speak a diffrent "computer language" for a device to understand this language
a driver is required
some devices such a computers come with drivers for a long line of printers and other devices
apple decided that it was better not to include that huge list of drivers as users would then not have
much storage left for media and apps
then apple let printer makers make apps for printing in app store and make printers support airprint

For those of you who have had issues installing Itunes on Win 7 or possibly another OS

This MIGHT help you.
I tried all day yesterday to install Itunes and I could not get it to work for the life of me. As of today I finally got it installed, so I am giving a quick list of what I did.
First check to make sure windows is updated and then make sure your SQLserverCe31.msi file is not missing or corrupt. if so I was able to download it through Microsofts website.
I then used my Windows system file checker tool to repair any corrupted windows files which I had none.
After all of that I downloaded the free version of malwarebytes and ran it when my computer was in safe mode, which found 93 malware "issues" on my computer. I quarantined all of them and ran it again
I then used msconfig and disabled ALL of my NON Microsoft services and ALL of my startup services (Selective startup)
I tried running the Itunes installer again and BOOM everything installed correctly. I hope this helps SOMEONE

For those of you who had to get a new iPhone after update bricked you...

Can you explain what is involved in the process of setting up your new phone? Is it like a SIM card transfer, or is it a setup through iTunes like you have to do originally? My setup process was much more complicated than most (long story involving business plan) so I am reluctant to get the 2.0.x update because the guy who set up my phone for me seemed to be the only one in the world who could do it.
Thanks.

I have gotten a new iPhone because the previous one didn't want to restore. The Genius simply transfered my SIM card to the new iPhone and I was on my way. At home, I connected my new iPhone to iTunes and restored it from the last backup (even though I should have started from scratch). It worked perfectly, all apps, music, video, contacts, email, ringtones, etc. have been transfered to the ne iPhone and I've been using it without any problems.

For Those of You Who Burn Discs, This Might Be of Interest!

Well, I suppose most of you have now seen my query about why I could burn BD-RWs, but NOT BD-Rs, In that I indicated that I use Verbatim exclusively, and that I was recently stopped within Encore from burning Verbatim BD-Rs. There is a good chance that my difficulty suddenly and inexplicably rested not with the Verbatim discs per se, but the fact that both of my Pioneer burners were rated at X2 writing speed, while the BD-Rs were rated at X6. Now and subsequently, I have no difficulty burning Verbatim BD-Rs rated at X2.
If you ever have difficulty in even starting the burning process in Encore, or in utilizing such programs as imgburn, the stated disparity may be the basis for the problem, and if you have read this far, that should be enough!
After all was said and done, I looked at the cylindrical cases in which the Verbatim discs were delivered, and discovered the following: "CAUTION: For use in drives or recorders that support 6x speed 25GB Blu-ray discs without cartridge. Insertion of this disc into non-compatible hardware may damage data, disc, or hardware." I had used quite a number of these previously from other packages, and the ones I had difficulty with were from two newly opened packages of 50 discs each. These discs were made in Taiwan, according to the package, with a part number of 97339. Apparently I am not alone with this disparity; although the sample of user data is almost next to zero, here is the reaction of one reviewer on Amazon, a reaction similar to mine, until I examined the package, and thought further about the issue: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2Z4Z7B9SWCVWJ/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R2Z4Z7B9SWCVWJ . The Part Number of the identified discs is different (reflecting a new manufacturing process of Verbatim, according to other sources), but the specification for the discs is otherwise the same. I have now ordered a couple of packages of Verbatim X2 25GB printable BD-Rs - it may well be, given the notable difficulty that I had in even finding these, that Verbatim has ceased manufacture and distribution of the X2 discs except as individually packaged discs. All of this makes streaming even more attractive!

Jeff, no I don't remeber where I purchased them, and could only identify the
supplier by going through very extensive receipts kept for tax return support -
so until the IRS audits me, that will probably remain a mystery.
In the meantime, I have just ordered a Pioneer 6x BD recorder! About time,
IF 6x will prove as reliable as 2x!

Bill

For those of you who cannot afford a proper video editing system...

...don't buy any prosumer video editing program (including Premiere Pro CS5.5). Here's why:
Last night, I ran the PPBM5 test on an Intel i3-2100 system with 4GB of DDR3-1333 RAM, a 500GB OS drive and a 1TB project drive (both drives are 7200 RPM) and integrated (onboard) Intel HD Graphics 2000. (This is the kind of system that one might buy for the purpose of Interner surfing and some limited gaming.) I have just submitted the results to the PPBM5 site.
The result?
With a total time of 976 seconds, that system is around 20 times slower than a fast i7 system (although it was marginally faster than the other systems with dual-core CPUs on the PPBM5 results list). That i3-2100 system also proved that no system with a dual-core CPU performed as fast as a system with even a mediocre-performing quad-core CPU.
In other words, at the lower end, you get what you pay for. This post and thread is to inform how senseless it is to cheap out on the components when building a video editing build.

If you absolutely can't afford the "fully ready" cost of...
16GB DDR3-1333 RAM: $120
4 x 1TB 7200 RPM SATA hard drives: $240
320GB or 500GB 7200 RPM SATA hard drive (for OS): $45
You could START with...
8GB DDR3-1333 RAM (2x4Gig)
2 x 1TB 7200 RPM SATA hard drives
320GB or 500GB 7200 RPM SATA hard drive (for OS)
And then add Ram and/or hard drives as need and $$ is available
The computer I built a bit over a year ago is described at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652694?tstart=0
My 3 hard drives are configured as... (WD = Western Digital)
1 - 320G WD Win7 64bit Pro and all program installs
2 - 320G WD Win7 swap file and video project files
3 - 1T WD all video files... input & output files

For those of you who ordered your macbook online

I recently ordered a macbook from the online store, and I was wondering if any of you who ordered yours online know where apple ships their products from. I've hear a myriad of answers, from Taiwan to Shanghai to Cupertino. Thanks in advance.

I purchased my BlackBook online because I wanted it CTO (configured to order). I expected it to take longer than the spedified delivery date (two weeks) because the additional hardware (2G RAM, 120G hard drive, etc) had to be installed.
It was shipped from China and arrived via Fed Express within 5 days of the date of my order.
Hope this helps!

For those Windows users who suddenly cannot see their device in iTunes. Here's a solution that has worked.

I know this seems to be an emerging issue ever since the update to iTunes 11.1.4, some iPhones or other iOS devices are not showing up in iTunes or syncing. I'm not sure if Apple really knowns of this issue, but tech support has a (mostly) sure fire way of resolcing this issue. It's only for Windows computers though.
Go to the article http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538 and follow the Section 5 Verify Apple Mobile Device USB driver is installed. When you clik on that section, go to your version of Windows (it seems to be happening mostly across Windows 8) . And then to the section: If Apple iPod, Aple iPhone, or Apple iPad is listed.
The gist of what you need to do:
Windows 8 (since it seems to be the most affected) move your cursor to the upper ight corner of your screen) and click on the Magnifying glass. Type in devmgmt.msc and this should bring up the Device Manager. Onc eyou are in the device manager, look for the "Portable device" or "Universial Serial bus Controller" list, and you should see the "Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod" listed. Onc eyou see it, right click it, choose "Update software driver." Now, IT WILL SAY THE DRIVER IS UPDATED. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. Select "Browse my computer for driver software." Onc eyou choose that, select "Let me pick from a lsit of drivers on my computer." You should see the option "Have Disk." Choose that. Again, I KNOW you do not have a physical disk, but the file we need is already on your computer. After Hard Disk, choose Browse again. Follow this file path to the file we need: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.. In the Driver's folder, you should see the "usbaaple" or "usbappl64" (if you have the 64 bit for Windows). Double click on that file, and hit OK. The file should install, and once it's finished check your iTunes!!! You may want to unplug your device and plug it back it before doing all of this. I REALLY hope this works for you all as well!

Would you believe?
There might be another cause?
I tried ALL of the suggested solutions here and any other forum I could find. Remove and reinstall ALL Apple software, try re-install driver options, even the solution here, which sounded Perfect!, but failed for me :-(
And My solution to this exact same problem was Soooo simple, I wanted to Scream.
Try A Different i-Device Cable.
Yup.
A different cable for my iPhone, iPads, iPod...
All of them instantly worked again!
I spent HOURS on this before the Bride said;
"Maybe the cable is bad..."
I might have to burn my IT degree... ;-)

Why doenst iLife 09 have an upgrade for those of us who bought iLife 08?

Just curious

One would have to ask Apple - no one but users here
LN
PS - did your digital camera get upgraded to the new model when it was released? How about your car - or your TV set - or anything else that you have ever purchased that did not have an announced upgrade as of the time you purchased it?

For those of us who decided to wait...
