Here we go again, Apple!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong. Is Apple now selling Logic Pro 8 "new" for $500, where as Logic Pro 7 was $1,000, which I just brought a little over a month!!!! Same thing with the iPhone, dropping prices with no concern for the previous buyers who shelled out the original price. So now if I want 8, I have to shell out another $300, which brings my grand total to $1,300??? Come on - tell me I'm reading this wrong. Ok, so they want to give you a free upgrade if you purchased after Aug. 1 - that still doesnt account for others shelling out all that money for them to turn around and drop the price. My goodness!!!!!

So, are you saying you would prefer Logic studio 8 to be $1000?
Because I've been using Logic for years now and I think paying only 199 to upgrade from 7 is
amazing.
Also, What would you have them do other then what they did?
I would love to hear how you would do it.
Fact of the mater is you bought a product at the end of a product cycle.
Clearly you didn't read or heed all the warning signs that perhaps a new
version was on the horizon somewhere. Just one trip to the Logic 7 boards
would have let you realize that perhaps with all the grumblings from the user base
Something was on the way.
Its to bad for you, but thats all it is.
Should Apple keep a more open line of communication with its users? Of Course.
But they don't, and its their prerogative.
It's also amazing, that a refund possibility exists for you at all, so Good luck.
They don't have to do that either.
But, you got screwed, just like a handful of other people,
and now you've come here to whine.
Well, there there.

MY wife has an Iphone 4 and I have a 5. To date we have used one apple account to manage music purchases/library. I updated ny phone to the new OS version and all her texting is showing up on my phone. I understand if i create an apple account for her I will not see her texts. Recently we bought a Mac and created a new apple account for her. How do I synched her phone with new apple account and get access to the music library under my account on the new MAC laptop before I update her phone to the new OS?
Going forward if I purchase music under my apple id and want her to have it on her device, how can I acheive that?

You can continue to share an Apple ID for purchases.
Sign her in to her new account here:
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (Keep on Phone if you want to transfer contacts, calendars, etc...) then sign in with her new ID
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
Settings > FaceTime > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
Use the same Apple ID here:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID

My daughter forgot her password and now her ipod touch is disabled. When I connect it to itunes it does not come up on the screen as a device. What can I do to get her itouch working again?

My daughter forget her password and now her ipod touch is disabled. Red message says to connect to itunes. When I do connect to itunes, the device is not recognized and then a message comes on the screen that says it is locked and to enter the password to access it. I cannot access the password and since itunes does not recognize the device, it does not come up on the list on the left, i cannot reset it. What do I need to do so she can use her ipod touch again? Thanks

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing you should do is have your friend log out of your account and change your password.
Do you have a back up from when you had the contacts on your phone.

I recently did a factory restore on my imac mountain lion, but when i try to download OS x again apple is not recognizing my id and password

So, what exactly did you do for a "factory restore"? Which method did you try?
Did you go to the app store > Purchases? Is it listed there?
Or, did you try using the recovery method (Command + R keys or Command + Option + R keys while restarting)? Are you able/unable to reach Apple's servers to download the OS?

When my wife tries to update one of her apps a strange Apple ID pops up. Her Apple ID is correct in settings and in the apple store. What does this mean? Where did the other one come from?

There is something on your iPhone (a music file, iBook, document or video) that belongs to another Apple ID. Only your wife would know how that file arrived there. Your iPhone is asking for the correct Apple ID for all of the files that are resident on the iPhone.

Hello,
Perfectly fine working iPad and I attempted to load the software update provided for settings. Now all I get is an on again off again apple. Attempted hard reset to no avail. iTunes no longer recognizes the device. So......? what? how? where?
Thanks, Richard

And one more point, I am not an Apple user. This is my first experience and have had to learn as I go. So any explanations please break it down for a noob. I am fairly computer geeky but when it comes to Mac or Apple or iAnything... I have zero experience.

My wife and I get our iPhone 4s tomorrow. Should we put them both on the same Apple ID, or should I create one for her. All our apple products are on mine at this time.

The answer to this kind of depends on what you both want to do. Apple IDs can be used for multiple Apple services. For example you could both have your own iCloud Apple IDs (which I would suggest), but have only one iTunes Store Apple ID.
So think about how you will each use the iPhones then make your decision. Keep in mind that if you both use the same iCloud Apple ID you will receive each other's texts and emails and all the email, contacts and calendars will be the same.

So here's a question Apple can't answer.!

So here’s a question Apple can’t answer. ‘How do you scale a sequence of images that have scaling effects and import them into a master sequence and rescale the sequence to a quarter of the size’? This needs do be done without exporting the sequence as a movie and nesting as the information in the sequence needs to remain intact.
I’m off-line editing a super wide screen programme that is 2,016 X 576 pixels, The program has a central image that is 768 X 576 with three panels left and right showing a montage of stills. Now in order to edit the panels and see the content make I have edited separate sequences – I do not want to make a movie because this is an off-line and making nested sequences does not let you scale the sequence. Anyone got a solution?

I can nest the sequence and re-scale but will this
give me an off-line that will retain the original
source footage i.e. Tiff files. This is going to be
finished in AE and I’ll be using the the DUCK XML
programme to make the EDL.
I'd do your image sequence in FCP at full resolution. use Duck to move that into AE and then do your scale, resize, etc, etc in AE.
It can be done all in one sequence in FCP but you'd create more headaches. Just nest them (or comp-in-comp in AE).

HT204053 Naive question I know but here goes. One apple ID, multiple apple IOS devices (touch/pad/phone). Books purchased via Kindle sync to ALL devices via iCloud. How can I stop this? I want to separate each of the family's reading prefernces from the d

Naive question but here goes.
As a family we have one Apple ID. All devices are synced via my PC and backed up to it rather than to iCloud.
Books purchased via Kindle App appear on all the devices within the "cloud" option. How do I separate each reader's prefernce to their own device? I want to make sure that the younger one's dont have access to anything unsuitable.
Thanks.

You can have one AppleID for your purchases so that all teh devices can use all the apps without having to buy them again, and at the same time, have different iCloud accounts for each user so that their content is not intermingled with everyone else's. You can even go so far as to have your iCloud Account enabled for "Find my iPhone" for each of the other devices allowing you to keep track of where tehy are when they get misplaced.
If you need/want, you can share iCloud Calendars between different iCloud accounts as well. This is exactly what my wife & I have done. We share calendars so I know when she has classes or dog competitions, and she can see my work schedule so she knows what nights I have to be in late, etc.

Here we go again...restore and upgrade

hi. checked all over here and did everything...in a nutshell...
bought new 32g ipt...gave 16g to my daugher, who is on my macbookpro under her own account, but same itunes account, machine is authorized.
i purchased the jan software upgrade on my imac. i copied the ''mobile application'' file to her laptop.
i plugged in the 16 gig with the upgrade to her library and did a restore. all went well except no upgrade apps.
i have not plugged in my new 32 but am concerned it may not have the new apps either.
so am i stuck paying THREE times now for the apps??
any new answers out there??
thanks everybody/anybody!

before you buy it again, and assuming you have moved the authorization key and you are using the same iTunes account to sync the apps that you used when you originally bought the apps, try downloading and installing 1.1.4 one more time, then go into iTunes, go to the Store menu and Deauthorize this computer then Authorize it, again using the Apple ID and password for the account that was used when originally purchased, then resync.
It that does not work, go to iTunes Store support and relate your problem to them.

My second ipod (here we go again)

Well I didn't think I would ever do it, but I bought another ipod. I posted on here several times about trouble with my first one not being recognized by windows (usb device not recognized) Finally took it to an apple store in Cincy (80 miles away). They said the port on the bottom of was broken, and for $120 they could send it out and have it fixed. Or I could turn it in to be recycled and get a whopping 10% off a new one. So what the heck, why pay that much to get it fixed, when I could just get a new one. So I bought a new U2 edition, worked great for a month, then it crashed. The screen said I need to restore it, so I tried, all I got was an eror message saying... "There was a problem downloading the ipod software for the ipod. The requested resource was not found." So I called tech support and talked to them for over 2 hours with no luck. I kept saying that it seems to be a problem on their end if the software is not available to download, but they had me try everything from making a new windows account to dancing around it chanting in some native language that I didn't even understand, and of course never got anywhere. So, I drove back to the apple store (80 miles) (total miles now 320). The guy restored it in 5 minutes and I was out of there. Great. Then 5 hours later it crashes again, same thing when I try to restore, ..."There was a problem downloading the ipod software for the ipod. The requested resource was not found." So what should I do drive another 160 miles round trip to get it restored again? Waste another 2 hours on the phone? Or go and get my money back and give up?

You could exchange it.
Before you do try a couple of things. 1st, check the settings on your firewall to be sure you aren't being blocked. 2nd, delete the iPod Photo Cache on your computer. 3rd, if that doesn't work, reformat your iPod in Windows (FAT32, not a quick format) then try to Restore in iTunes.
Also, be sure the Temp directory on your computer is empty and finally, try this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304309

Errors With App Updates: Heres's what the "Apple Guy" said

Ever since the app store opened and updates to applications became available I have never been able to get an update without jumping through hoops. Those hoops would be deleting the application from iTunes and the iPhone as well as deleting any files from the application from my computer. Then after all this I have to re-download the application from iTunes.
I realize these apps don't have to be paid for again, but I find it very frustrating to have to go through this process just to get an update. My biggest issue is that I lose any and all data stored in that application because I had to delete it.
After searching these forums and seeing multiple people with the same problem, and no solution, I figured I'd go to the source and just call Apple support for iPhone and here's what they said in a nutshell.
Apple is totally aware that you can't get any updates without deleting the application. The guy was actually surprised when I told him that I have several updates per week. He said her personally only has 2 or 3 apps on his phone and he's never seen an update and thought maybe there was something wrong with my phone that I have so many updates. I told him I have about 30 apps and several of them have had several updates. This isn't a phone issue, it's an issue with iTunes being unable to load the new application without errors.
The gist of it is that there is NO way to fix this at this time. Apple fully expects us to delete the entire application every time there's an update and they don't really care that we're losing all our data. I don't think Apple had any idea that there would be as many updates as there are and so were completely unprepared. He actually told me that they are just now "getting back on our feet" after the big crash on the 11th when the 3G came out and they're doing the best they can. I'm sure this is true, but updates to applications were expected so why was this not forseen?
Disappointing!! Has anyone had any luck with updating applications without deleting everything first??? If so, how did you do it. I have tried since the middle of July with total failure. The Apple support guy was NO help so I'm turning to you guys!

Aha - interesting. Up until a few days ago, I was 'happily' updating apps virtually every day (bar the unhappiness caused by how long it took and the fact it moved the app to a different page from where I'd carefully moved it previously). I had a crash during an app update at the end of last week, after which I had to do a recovery restore. Since then... I'm seeing no updates available on the phone, even when I know they're in the store.
As of today I'd worked that could be because the App Store on the phone doesn't seem to know I've got most of my software installed, even though I clearly have (it marks only a few apps as 'Installed' on their page, whereas I've probably got 20-30). And now, checking iTunes, it's found updates for some apps, but not others. Who knows whether they'll be updated at the next sync...
Bottom line seems to be that as of 2.0.2, there are some serious issues with this aspect of the iPhone experience... along with endless backups (which to me seemed associated partly with the most recent iTunes update)... I really hope that the next update straightens things out!

Here we go again, Apple!!!
