Hope that Apple reads this.

Purchased and Imac in 2011...great machine and still believe so. However just as the warantee ran out the mother board and hard drive faild.. This cost me a fortune to repair as there was no comprehencion from Apple. Since then Apple service have repaced three hard drives as well as having to leave the iMac on several other occasions due to OS issues not allowning start up. I have tried to discuss this Apple and all I get is YOU ARE OUT OF WARANTEE. I am not even asking for free service I just want to bring to their attention that here we have a real problem machine and the number of times it has been for hard drive replacements etc..are not aceptable.
I guess this is what come from not wanting to listern to the customers.
I dont expect any reply but want to tell sombody.

I do understand your frustration. I too own a mind 2011 iMac and I absolutely love it. While I cannot advise you how to bring those issues to Apple's attention, I can probably share with you a tip that helped me in the past. If you bought the machine using a credit card, you may be automatically eligible for an extended warranty (not from Apple, but from the credit card company). I bought mine with a visa credit card, So, when I had my GPU replaced at the Apple Store outside of the 1 year standard warranty, visa reimbursed me the repair costs (about $250).
Also, I see you mentioned hard drive. At that time when my GPU failed, I also had a HDD issue and Apple replaced my HDD for free. There was a replacement program at that time for faulty Seagate 1TB HDDs used in some of the 2011 27" iMacs. I don't know if they are still running that program.
And this weekend, the AMD 6970M GPU failed again. I went to the Apple Store today thinking I had to pay $250 again, but was told that there is currently a replacement program for that GPU used in some of the Mid 2011 27" iMacs and that I will not be charged for it. This program did not exist when I had my earlier repair done.
So, I think Apple is looking at the issues reported and repairs done on various models and is working on appropriate replacement programs. Anyway, just wanted to share my experience with my iMac.

I don't understand: Can't you use the version of WhatsApp which is already available for the iPhone?
In any case, it's up to the people who make that app to create a version for the iPad, not Apple. So you need to write those people about it or nothing will happen.

Hi, My OS X is Leopard v10.5.8, w/Safari v5.0.6. I am considering downloading ClickToFlash 2.9.2 for general security reasons. I’m assuming this a good fit, being that Apple endorses this extension on their site. Does this mean i can download it w/out having to worry about any conflicts?,.. that its coming from a safe source, etc? Does it have any downsides? Is it easy to install?, ..or uninstall if i dont like it?
ALSO~ I’m assuming i dont need ClickToPlugin, because when on internet i always have “Enable Plugins” ~ DISABLED.
Thanks for any advice,... Jean in NJ

I dont really understand~ When i open my Flash Player pane, click on Advanced tab, the heading "Updates" reads~ "Not updating may leave this computer vulnerable to security threats." The reason for my concern is that Adobe no longer offers FP updates for my OS [10.5.8],not even archived. So my original question probably should have read~ When visiting a web site does Flash automatically load onto safari. If so, can using Click to Flash;... and NOT clicking to flash, prevent Flash from loading, and possibly carrying a "security threat" [virus?], into Safari or my Mac? Not trying to beat a dead horse,..just trying to understand what makes him run, Thanks

Hope Someone at Apple read this

One month ago i've recived a new 23'' Apple monitor and soon i've noticed one pixel (in the center bottom of the display) not working properly.
I said one is not too bad!
but now that i'm writing the pixels not working properly are growing in the same area making them more evident (for precision today 10; sometimes are less but sometime are more 10 is an average number).
I can remeber Mr. Jobs sayng in one of last keynote that Apple lcd monitors are the best! Apple refuses the lcd display other companies use for their top of the gamma...etc.
Well ..... I've two 30'' and this 23'' in my studio and when i look at them...they are beautifull !But i'had troubles with pixels in 30'' (now solved) and the new 23'' has problems too.
I found difficult to trust Mr. Jobs words because i'use also other brands monitor (Sony, Eizo) and in no one i have one single broken pixel .
May be Apple should pay more attenction to the quality provided by their chinese suppliers.
Come on Apple!

You may be able to convince apple that you have too many dead pixels. Try taking it into an apple store and see what they say

Major Security Flaw in 2.0.2 (APPLE READ THIS)

2.0.2 gives almost full access to the iPhone even while under password protection...
Steps to Reproduce
Set iPhone to use passcode lock, have contacts marked as Favorites with links, phone numbers, addresses, etc in address book entry.
Tap "Emergency Call" keypad from passcode entry screen.
Double-tap home button.
Tap blue arrow next to contact's name. You now have full access to applications such as Safari, complete Contacts list, SMS, Maps, "full" Phone access, and Mail by accessing various entries on the Favorite's page, i.e. tapping their home page brings up a full, unrestricted Safari.

Who do you think you are kidding? I absolutely guarantee that more than a few people at Apple read these forums. I have a friend that works there. They are not supposed to post here, (but some occasionally do). Stop spreading this nonsense that they don't read these forums.
If you REALLY want attention, post this on Slashdot.
But then again, I don't know many people who lock their phone.

I want to reject blocked calls. Any hope that apple will support this feature in the near future?

This is a pretty simple thing I want to do... I want to reject any incoming calls that do not reveal their phone number. Simple, right? Wrong. My current choices are jail breaking the phone (and then buying an app to do what I want), or going through some pay-by-month site to display calling numbers. It should be so much easier. There are so many postings about this issue on the internet. Why is not getting addressed by Apple?
Thanks, -Jim

Unlikely Apple will do this as this is done on a carrier level, not a mobile phone level.

IPhone reception is poor (it's actually NOT AT&T).... Hope Apple Reads This

After using the iphone all I could think of was...."fewest dropped calls" my a--. I've never has so many dropped calls in my life since switching to the new iPhone.
Here are steps I've taken:
Verified that I'm in an excellent coverage area (with AT&T)
Swapped SIM - It was suggested online, and by Apple Support.
Swapped iPhone
Purchased Wi-Ex zBoost YX510 Dual band signal booster.
All to no avail.
I've determine it's not AT&T that is the problem it's the iPhone.
When the phone is sitting, I can get full signal, 4 bars. As soon as I pick up the phone...I get dropped calls, zero signal, no service, or maybe 1 bar (barely).
Even after doing all the aforementioned items, I still get loss of service. Clearly this is a problem with the iPhone, a search of the web shows TONS of people experiencing the same issue.
Not only that, but I contacted Wi-Ex the makers of zBoost which was HIGHLY rated by several reputable magazines etc...and they stated they have actually gotten a LARGE number of calls with respect to iPhone users having poor reception.
He pointed to transmit power as possibly being the culprit. I'm not a phone expert, I'm a Senior Systems Engineer, so not sure what that would have to do with anything. But he stated it used to be the old Motorola RAZR that they constantly got calls about and he verified that they definetly had the worst trasmit power out of any cell phone seen. Which is probably why so many people complain about the RAZR but now he states the iPhone calls are slowly taking over.
Even with the booster in my house, I reguarly get FULL signal 4 bars...but like I said...as soon as I touch the phone or make a call...it's all over.
I'm hoping this can be fixed through an iPhone update. I would hate to think I have to return the phone can cancel service, but I can't operate like this.
If Apple is watching, I'm willing to be a beta tester in anyway you see fit. I love the phone but I can't deal with all these great features but constant call dropping.

Hi Derrick,
Similar situation to you but..
I purchased yx500 cel single band (800 MHZ, that's the one iPhone uses at my location) actually 2 of them. Yeah I know alot of money to spend to get service at my house. But the 1st purchase was an absolute neccesity for my wife's iPhone. He phone is her ONLY phone for business and no service or 1 bar was not acceptable. The gain on the supplied base station omnidirectional antenna is only so so as the signal strength diminishes about 10 feet away from the base station. I tried the directional indoor base station antenna to get more distance from the base station, with no luck. So the 2nd purchase was another 500 cel for use in the other end of our downstairs, for me. 2 outdoor antennas on either end of the house.
The interesting part of this discussion is that my wife had Sprint previous to the iPhone and service was pretty much the same as it is now with ATT. Sprint's and ATT's towers are next to each other about 1 mile away, as the crow flies, from my house. I had and still have a Blackberry Pearl (now used as a backup phone just in case) and the service was the same as the iPhone. I had a friend over for dinner this weekend who just bought a Blackberry Curve (ATT) Same story with the service, 1 bar to no service. ATT's coverage map indicates (at street level) that we are in an excellent service area. I think our problem is that there are dense trees between us and the tower. Digital signals don't go through trees very well if at all.
For me and my wife the wi-ex product works although (and pertinent to your experience) occasionally the signal will drop inexplicably and dramatically.
On the road the iPhones work fine, and the very infrequent dropped calls are due to known (by me in my years of travelling) holes in the coverage area.
All of this stuff, unfortunately for people like us (at least for me), means that there are no definitive answers to the problem, and like you I have had to spend alot of money, and go through a long process of trial and error to maybe have an answer to the problem of service.
I'm traveling to Colorado, Denver in fact in a few weeks and will be very curious to see how service is there.
Will keep everyone posted.

IPod Shuffle green/yellow flashing APPLE READ THIS AND POST IT!!!

APPLE: read this ...

hi apple,
leopard is slow in starting and shuting down, admin gone twice (since yesterday evening), repair permissions does'nt work and so on ....
are we your paying betatesters ?????
i hope you solve the problems soonest !
regards,
sascha

p.s. i love and use apple since 20 years and was (nearly) never dissapointed !

Ipod not connecting again, apple please read this.

First let me state that I made posts awhile back about my Ipod touch not being able to be recognized by itunes at all and just as a camera by windows. Now every single guide did nothing to help and the FEW people that posted had posted things I already did that did not help.
HOWEVER the version of Itunes that was prior to the one I just downloaded connected PERFECTLY with no issues.
But I just updates and wouldnt you know it, the connection problem is BACK. Apple please read this, the last version of Itunes had something different with how it connected to the Ipod...PLEASE bring that back, its so inconvenient not being able to connect to my own Ipod
If someone wants to post a reply that might help feel free...but everything on this website and even a few others not posted here have not worked, this is mostly me praying that Apple reads it...that tiny difference on how it connected made a huge difference with my computer.

Thanks. I worked out a simpler method of turning off the internet access - just switching off my wireless modem. Either way, this works and with the PC not connected to the internet, all three Apple devies will sync.
Thinking about it now, I had a similar problem a few versions ago which I recognised because with Home Sharing on and connected to the internet iTunes was trying to find files from someone in another hotel room who also sharing the hotel's wireless network. My devices would not sync then either. This seemed to be resolved with subsequent itunes upgrades until now ....
Thanks for the advice. Let's hope Apple's next 'update' actually updates itunes so it can sync Apple devices whilst simultaneously connected to the internet (not a big ask really).

Why do I get "iCal can't read this calendar file. No events have been added to your iCal calendar." when I am trying to sync an Apple Workshop appointment?

I made a reservation for an Apple store workshop, but when I try to open the download in iCal (Lion) , I keep getting an "iCal cannot read this calendar file." message. Very frustrating. Any insights would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bmoregirl

Greetings,
What version of the Mac OS and what version of iCal are you running?
Are you using MobileMe calendars (or any other server based calendars like Google) in your iCal?
While you answer those questions you can try the following troubleshooting:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

My iTunes Wish List won't let me remove items, how can I (or Apple) fix this?

I have a pretty full iTunes Wish List but when I want to remove a song/album, it says it will later but it never does, this is driving me nuts, I need some assistance without deleting my entire iTunes Library

I'm having exactly the same problem, also with 10.2.2 and OS 10.6.7. I've got about 40 items in the list and I have repeatedly tried to delete about half because the price went up but they won't go away.
Additionally, when I point at any one of the items, instead of a single delete circle (far right of the item), I get two, one larger than the other. Neither seems to make any difference. When I do delete the items, the total in my cart does not decrease and if I click out of wish list and back in, all the items I deleted return.
Sorry that's not help to you, but I hope that Apple notices and does something about this.

If you are desperately waiting for a new update... Read this!

WOW! Just saw this post. This is really pushing me towards Roku or Andoid mini-PC... I did their survey and commented in there that I do realize technology is always changing/improving/etc... But the existing WD TV lives that I have could very easily be fixed with a proper firmware update. One that fixes the rather serious memory leak, particularly with Netflix. And I know it wouldn't be that hard to get a proper programmer to resolve how slow the device is to refresh it's library from an NAS. Just need someone to take the time. Really hope WD is reading this, as they are going to end up putting a really bad name behind a device that has some amazing potential! It just needs to be finished, rather that left in this "beta" stage it's in now.

I believe it was more to do with a licensing thing so they took out Netflix. We know the WD TV (2014) got a FW update 1.01.30 at about the same time that WD TV Live Streaming had it's last release 2.02.32 - and it was mainly about introducing pretty much the same feature set to both (in BOLD and italics): WD TV FW v1.01.30 Aug 2014:Resolved Issues:• Supports BBC iPlayer, BBC News and BBC Sport (UK only) • Supports search feature at the Grid UI home screen from the WD IR remote • Updated WD TV End-User License Agreement (EULA) • Updated TMDB API image URL process• Resolved reboot issue when manually getting content information• Resolved issue with content playback stopping after long duration of play• Resolved audio out of sync and intermittent video freezes with .mp4 formats with AAC audio vsWD TV FW v2.02.32 Aug 2014:Resolved Issues:• Supports Miracast.

3rd Party Software Not Seeing That Adobe Reader XI Is Installed.

I have a few pieces of (custom) software that with previous versions of Adobe Reader (7, 8, 9, and X), would open Adobe Reader automatically when selecting to open a PDF from within the software.
When the pc's were updated to Reader XI, the software no longer sees that Reader is installed, therefore will not open the PDF files as it should.
I have since rolled the pc's back to Reader X and the software works, but I would like to get XI working due to some needed features in XI.
Is there something within the Adobe Reader XI install that is different, or in different location from previous versions? (i.e. different registry key locations, some Reader files installed to different locations, etc?)
If anyone knows something that did change, I may be able to work with the 3rd party developers and get this resolved.
Please let me know.
Thank you.

Hello,
I just solved this problem on my computer.
Windows 7 comes with only one "Voice" installed. "Microsoft Anna - English (United States)" I'm not sure what you get if your in another country.
You can test your "Voice/Voices" by running Microsoft Narrator. Click [Start] button and type "Narrator" in the [search programs and files] box. Press [Enter]. Your computer should begin talking. Click [Voice Settings] button to see a list of installed voices. Take note of the voices listed. "Mine has just the one."
Adobe Reader must have a voice selected that you have installed. To verify your settings Run Adobe Reader. From the top menu click [Edit] then click [Preferences] at the bottom of the list. In the Preferences window click [Reading] from the left hand list. Find "Read Out Loud Options" Un-check [Use default voice] Choose a voice from the drop down menu that you have verified is installed on your computer. Click [OK]
My Adobe Reader had 4 voices listed to choose from. I found this curious because I only have one voice.
Hope that helps.

Hope that Apple reads this.
