Has Apple foresaken OpenCL
Hi all: With the release of the new 13 inch MacBook Pro having only Intel integrated graphics, is Apple giving up on OpenCL, something they made a BIG DEAL about with the release of Snow Leopard?
Similar question I just had, only I'm wondering if the new line, including the higher end ones with AMD chips, even support OpenCL. I don't suppose there's any benchmark tests out there just for OpenCL, are there?
Google:

Now, perhaps Google will present me with an article where the OpenCL performance of the previous generation systems are compared to this one...

Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig? IPConfig /flushdns doesn't help at all. Until they fix it I will be previewing and buying my songs thru Amazon.
Doublechecking ... do you still get that if you update to iTunes 10.6.3.25 (just released today)?

Has Apple come up with a solution to remove the iPad sidebar in Mail while in landscape mode?
Hi, Everyone.
When I review open Mail, I need to review it in landscape mode, so I can use the ipad cover's keyboard to type my replies. I would like to be able to hide (or even shrink) the sidebar. Unlike the "relative" privacy of viewing your email at your desk, the ipad is meant to be a mobile device: I use it on the train, I take it to meetings, etc. It's annoying to have people looking over my shoulder or sitting next to me in a conference table able to glance over and, in effect, see the names of the last 11 people or entities that have emailed me - with the subjects. (I work in HR, handling a lot of staff and faculty compensation, discipline, ando other politically charged issues - so privacy is kind of a big deal) Yes, I could flip it to portrait mode and hide the sidebar, but that forces me to tilt my cover's bluetooth keyboard 90 degrees to the side and I am not yet proficient in typing sideways.
I've seen mutiple posts over the past year about this. I'm using IOS 8.1.3. Has Apple resolved this or offered a suitable accommodation?
Thank you for any replies.TThe answer is simple. No Apple has not implemented a way to hide the preview pane of the mail app when you use the device in landscape mode. I use my iPad in landscape mode 95% of the time as well, so that I can use the larger keys on the virtual keyboard. You can hide the preview of what the emails say I Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Preview>None. If you do that, at least you will be hiding the beginning of the message so that nobody can read it. I realize that's not your solution, but it might help.
I also suggest that you leave feedback for Apple.

iPad 1 Safari Crashes Constantly and getting worse day by day. Has Apple come up with a solution? Now I am hearing its also happening on the newer models. My company is about to buy a lot of tablets and I will not recommend Apple anything until they fix the problem. Granted 30 or 40 iPads is not a huge impact but i promise once the outside world hears about this BS things will change. There are plenty of other tablets out there that do not have this problem. At the very least we should have the option of rolling back to a stable IOS...
I have already tried all the things mentioned above as well as other things such as other browsers etc. Its is obviously a problem with the hardware. I also borrowed a brand new 4th gen iPad and it does the same thing. Even after upgrading it to 6.01. An occasional crash is one thing and can easily be waved off but this is clearly systemic and the problem appears to be related to graphical images and videos. Both iPads are the 64gb versions, the only difference other than model is the iPad 1 has ATT cellular. The new version is clean i.e no other APPs loaded other than what came with it. I have 7 more coming but im seriously considering sending them back in favor of an Android tablet or the MS Surface.

I recently lost wifi capabilities on my 3rd generation ipod touch. I reset the network which did nothing so I did a complete reset. This actually removed the Safari icon off my itouch and still wifi is completely grayed-out. Has Apple removed the wifi capabilities to force the purchase of new items?
I find it completely disturbing that only recently has this become an issue for 3rd generation itouch users.
Can someone please help as I am exceptionally frustratedThis problem?
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Has Apple addressed poor sound quality issues with new 160GB iPod classic?
I just bought a new 160GB iPod classic, replacing a perfectly good 80GB iPod Video (5.5), thinking that the newer one would be superior to my 3 year old model. I discovered that the sound of the new unit was flat and muddy compared to the older model. I found that the 5th gen iPod video was more "spacial", if that's an appropriate word to use; the bass was more present and more clearly defined, as was the rest of the sonic spectrum. I searched several forums to research this issue and while there were numerous references to this issue, all of the posts I found referred to the original iPod classics (80GB and 160GB) and not the later 120GB classics nor the new 160GB classics like the one I bought. Has Apple done anything to address this issue since the first classics were released or are the new ones still suffering from the same sound quality issues as the original classics?
Based on your observations here, they apparently have not changed the sound quality since the original 160GB classic. I noticed a clear narrowing of the sound stage (ambiance) between the 5.5G 80Gb and my 6G 160GB. You're describing the same characteristic. I don't own the newest 160GB version and came here today to see if it might have improved the sound quality back to the 5.5 spaciousness. Note that the 5.5G has a higher signal to noise ratio than the 6G, making it difficult for me to enjoy it through efficient balanced armature in ear monitors like the Shure SE530s or Ulimate Ears Triple.Fi 10s.

What the **** has Apple done now? iPhone 4 no longer syncs correctly
After all the B/S of trying to sync a SonyEriccson P1i the iPhone 4 was a beath of fresh air. So typically 'Apple' with its simplicity and efficiency.
Yet suddenly it will not sync correctly. Is it iTunes 10.1.2 or iOS 4.2.1 to blame? I have no idea.
Only some of the new contacts entered into the phone transfer to the Address Book. Those that do not will not transfer in ANY direction ie. neither from MBP to iPhone or vice-versa. Enter in a nonsense address and it will sync. Modify it to one of the 'troublesome' addresses in the Adrees Book and it will not update on the iPhone.
What the **** has Apple done now? Is this another crappy untested update somewhere?Right then, for those who want to know the most likely suspect for all this sync'ing grief is the Sony Ericsson P1i.
Having finally got the iPhone talking to iTunes normally with latest contacts, calendar, Mail accounts etc AND syncing new contacts in BOTH directions (MBP to iP4 and iP4 to MBP) I then synced the SE P1i with the latest definitive up-to-date Address Book using Device Reset in order to wipe the phone first.
Everything suddenly stopped working again with the iPhone/iTunes syncing.
Getting it working again involved importing an old Address Book backup and doing a manual iPhone sync. Then restart everything, throw away the iPhone backup within iTunes, open up Mail and just click on stuff before closing it (because the Mail Accounts had also disappeared from the iPhone again), doing a manual 'One-Time' sync of Contacts forcing the computer info onto the iPhone, re-importing the latest Address Book backup on the MBP, doing one more manual sync, restart everything, throw away the iphone backup and then an auto sync.
Finally, everything gets loaded back onto the iPhone and the ability to add or delete contacts on both iPhone and MBP is reinstated with sync in both directions.
Moral of the story? Crush your Sony Ericsson. The P900 series used to sync cleanly and easily via Bluetooth (both Contacts AND Calendars), but the P1i is and always has been troublesome and difficult and has a VERY unstable Bluetooth connection. I went through months of misery with the third-party app Missing Sync and suffered corrupted computer Address Books all the time. A real piece of SH1T.

Can anyone help...
I just bought a used iMac (2008) from an ebay seller and I'm trying to install quicktime but its asking me for a password and has Apple in the "Name" spot.
How do I retrieve or reset the password?
It came with the upgrade of Mountain Lion but I cannot find quicktime in the applications. When I try to install anything this Installer Password thing comes up... so I'm stuck.ShirlFromNC
I think you're slightly misunderstanding something, so maybe I'll try to chime in, even though everyone has said it in various ways.
Before OSX 10.7 (aka Lion) came out, the upgrades to OSX belonged to the Mac and not the user. Probably there was a technical legality in the user agreement that you couldn't do that, but everyone did. I could sell a Mac with Snow Leopard (or anything before that) by just erasing the hard drive, and reinstalling OSX. Then ship it to the buyer. Now, I was pretty honest as a seller, and including not only the original installation discs but also any upgrade. I would only sell a Mac if I was replacing it, so I always was getting the brand new version.
With OSX 10.7, upgrading was done online, with no disks. So the upgrades were tied to an Apple ID rather than the machine. Recently, I sold a MacBook Pro (to upgrade to a 27" iMac), which came with Lion. I had promised the buyer that it would come with Mountain Lion, but I didn't know that the upgrade was tied to my Apple ID. I made good with the buyer by sending along a $20 Apple App Store card so that she could upgrade to Lion.
So what everyone is saying here is that you need the original Installation discs or Snow Leopard disk to reinstall and wipe out the Mountain Lion that is on your Mac. It doesn't belong to you, it belongs to the seller, and without his Apple ID and password, you cannot use it. Once you do a reinstall of Snow Leopard, then you can upgrade to Lion and then to Mountain Lion. I do not believe you can upgrade directly to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, but I'm not sure.
If the seller claimed that you were getting Mountain Lion, then he was lying to you (or being more civil, maybe he just didn't know like I did). If you bought the used machine from Amazon Sellers or from eBay, then you have recourse through the feedback system or through PayPal. If you bought it any other way, you're on your own. -

Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection?
Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection on the iPad 3?
Cellular connection problem was for US connection in Houston, Texas. Have an iPad 2 which functions perfectely on Wi-Fi or 3G. Bought an iPad 3 strictly to get the increased speed from the 4G LTE connection. Purchased on with the AT &T cellular. Wi-Fi functions fine, but 4G LTE connection is terrible when it connects at all. Went to AT&T and they said no problems with service in my area, but never get over 2 bars and most times, Web pages load very slow or will hang and not load at all. Went to the Apple store and they said it was AT&T network problem and went to AT&T and they said no problems with their service. Went to the Apple communities forum here and discovered that many people were having the same problems with the 4G LTE cellular connection on their iPad 3's. Didn't seem to matter if it was AT&T or Verizon. So I decided that I would just return the unit and wait for Apple to fix the problem. Hence my question.
Appreciate very much your time in responding to my question. -
Has Apple done anything to address the issue of Mountain Lion's inability to support Epson printers? I have a Stylus Photo RX620 that now is useless. I am not a computer geek so would rather not try to do an uninstall of Mt. Lion and go back to S.Leopard
Have you tried to open System Preferences, then Print & Scan and then try to Add + a printer?
I have an Epson RX580 and am using OS X 10.8.2 and it is working as a (Bonjour) printer. My Epson RX580 is plugged into my AirPort Extreme and I can print over my wireless network to the RX580. However, I do not see any Scan options with this setup.
Anyone know anything about getting the scanning portion of the RX580 to work over the network like the printing function does with my Airport Extreme? Or can I not "share" a scanner over the USB port on the Airport Extreme? I know, kind on topic/off topic - but I think it fits under OS questions better.
Thanks for your advice!

Has apple named the the new ipad(3rd gen ipad) ipad with retina display
Has apple named the 3 rd gen ipad ipad with retina display.
The iPad 3rd generation has a retina display, but it was sold for only a few months. The iPad 4th generation also has a retina display and some of Apple pages refer to it as iPad with retian display. However, most of us in these forums refer to the various iPads as iPad 1, iPad 2, iPad 3 or iPad 4.

My iPhone 4 got stolen and it has apple protection care, will apple replace it?
My iPhone 4 got stolen and it has apple protection care, will apple replace it?
If you mean the Extended Warranty, then, no, Apple does not replace stolen or lost iPhones. If you have theft protection through other insurance, then report it to your agent. Be sure to report the theft to the police.
I would not hold your breath waiting for it to be recovered, however. Very few items like iPhones that have been stolen are ever recovered. -
Appletv not updating podcasts - has apple sold a product then dropped support after 1 year? May 2014
appletv not updating podcasts - has apple sold a product then dropped support after 1 yera? May 2014 - None of the podcasts are being updated on appletv. Running itunes 11.2 and it shows podcasts there. Apple looks more like windows every day.
Before blaming Apple, was any troubleshooting actually attempted? If so, what was done?
Or was it simply easier to jump to conclusions?
