How can i write my feedback on Apple devices to Apple Company?, how can i write my feedback on Apple devices to Apple Company?
Im an Apple user for years. Few months ago my iphone4S was stolen by a thief and nothing i can do to trace back my phone. The main reason was my phone was shut down once it took by the thief. I cant locate the position of my iPhone via "FindMyIphone" apps or even iCloud. These problems rise when there's no passlock protection for shutting down the device thus I'd like to voice out my suggestion tat every shut downs of device require entering of passlock. Im pretty sure it'd solve some problems in the very first place.

Where can I learn how to write my own Apple Script?
I am trying to write a script to enable me to schedule email message delivery for a later time for those instances where I'm not around to physically push the send button. I am leary of downoading scripts written by someone else, for all I know they could be Cc'ing thesmelves on every message I send using their script.
So, I'd like to write my own. That is, unless someone has a better and secure way of going about this.
This is somewhat pressing. I would appreciate any feedback you can offer.There are two parts to your request - generating an email, and sending it on a set schedule.
Generating an email in AppleScript isn't hard - there are numerous examples online of how to do this, but the scheduling element is the tricky part. There's no built-in task scheduler in AppleScript (other than the simple 'delay' command), which is why people often opt for iCal which can run an AppleScript as part of an event alarm. That can get cumbersome, though, depending on the frequency and volume of emails you're sending.
There are a few third-party tools such as iDo or PowerManager, so they might be worth checking out. If you want to roll your own you'll need to work out some method of asking the user when a message should be sent and integrating that into your own task manager - not a trivial topic. -
I am connecting an external USB HDD and I can see it on my Apple Macbook Air. BUT this drive is READ only. How can I write to it?
Drive Partition and Format
1.Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive. -
How can you help Apple ID get done and start working write way.

<Email Edited by Host>The link in your post is not leading anywhere. You are in good hands there with @CherylG and @erico and @lasvegaswireman.
I will just echo that you did not get recovery disks with your PC....no PC maker provides them in the box any more. When the laptop is new you are prompted to make recovery disks but most people do not do that. You can download a disk image of your licensed Windows 7 version from which you can burn a DVD and then fill in the drivers as mentioned on your other post. Let me know if you need a link for the download. But frankly it is worth getting the recovery disks from HP. I would not buy them from eBay and I buy lots of stuff from eBay....too much chance you will get the wrong ones. -

I have a complaint about Apple regarding one of their retail stores? How would I contact Apple because the only support I see is for technical difficulties!
Talk to one of the store managers. I am pretty sure they would be interested about hearing about your problems with the store in question. Apple does not have a feedback area for the stores, though you can give feedback about specific products here - http://www.apple.com/feedback/
If you don't feel like talking to the manager would be appropriate, you can write to Apple's corporate address -
Apple Inc
1 Infinite Loop
Cupertino, CA 95014
USA
I would not expect a reply if using that address.
Best of luck. I'm sorry you had a poor experience. -
How can I transfer my old Apple ID purchases into new one?
Dear All,
Recently I decided to change my email address for some security reasons. Now I need to change my apple ID but there is a problem:
I have purchased a lot of things by my ID ( OSX as well as iTunes) and really don't want to pay for them again.
Here is the question: How can I transfer all those purchases to the new ID and how can I close ( deactivate) that old Apple ID ?
ThanksThe Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
You can't. Apple will not merge IDs and Apple will not move content from one ID to another.
There is no need for a new ID, just change the primary email address in the current ID and change your password if you are concerned about security.

Vertical line issue - How can we get Apple to address this?
Hi guys,
As can be seen in this forum (and a lot of other forums, as well), a lot of people are experiencing this problem on their 17" iMac G5 with iSight. Here are some pertinent details (which may be familiar to a lot of people but can be a primer for those who are just starting to experience the problem):
1. For most of us, these lines started appearing between 13-15 months after they purchased them. The lucky ones either had these failures occur during the first 12 months, or had APP.
2. The majority of these units can be traced to the Shanghai factory W8 (enter your S/N in this website to get the manufacturing information of your unit: http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html).
3. A similar issue occurred (or is occurring) with 17" PBs. From what I have read on the Apple PB forums, it seems that this has been a long standing issue and Apple has SUPPOSEDLY attempted to censor some of the posts discussing this. Note that these units can also be traced back to the same Shanghai factory.
4. The "iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues" which certain people have always been referring users to on posts discussing this type of problem obviously refers to a totally different issue (http://www.apple.com/support/imac/repairextensionprogram/) and is applicable only to first gen iMac G5s. I'm sure that everyone appreciates it but, at this point, it is quite clear that it is not the solution to our problem.
5. Based on the number of posts discussing this very same problem in the Apple forums, it is pretty obvious that these are not isolated issues. There are too many similarities (time of failure, how the numbers of line increase over time, manufacturing source, etc.)
6. Some people have suggested that unstable power sources may be the primary cause of the problem. However, based on the locations of the people with these problems who have posted in this forum, it seems unlikely. From what I can see, the problem happens whether you are from a highly industrialized country (where a stable power source can be expected) or a developing country (where power sources MAY be more unstable).
7. Apple has typically responded (to anyone who has taken the time to write or have their iMacs inspected) that this is not a known manufacturing defect issue. As such, the cost to repair this problem, which can go up to USD 500, will have to be borne by the owner.
8. Based on posts of some people who have had their units repaired, it is the LCD that has to be replaced. This is also supported by posts from people who have resorted to purchase a separate display as a workaround.
Now, the question is, *how do we get Apple to address this issue*? Do we all start writing Steve Jobs about it? Do we go to the press? Should we put up a website and Digg it to death? A spoof video on YouTube? MySpace? Or will we just suffer in silence? Suggestions anyone?
P.S. Suggestions that involve any sort of violence or industrial sabotage are not acceptable, please.
Note that Ale_Tog has put up a Flickr page where we can post photos of our poor iMacs. Just send the photo to [email protected] with the subject "Dead pixels on iMac". No text, just the photo attachment. (+Ale_Tog, if you read this, I hope you don't mind me posting this here. Also, I suggest that we at least put the first 5 chars of the serial number, the factory information which can be retrieved on the link in #2 above, and which country the unit is based.+). I highly recommend that everyone send a photo to show that these are not isolated issues.
To get an idea on how many people are experiencing this problem, here are a list of posts in these forums, as well as others, discussing this issue (feel free to add to this):

Please start sending your suggestions. The more the many-ier!Yep. I feel Apple's 1 year manufacturer warranty for the iMac is not adequate, especially for an all-in-one unit with a relatively high price.
My iMac G5 started displaying a vertical cyan line about 4 weeks ago, only about 19-20 months after I bought it for Christmas in 2005.
I called up Apple to enquire what could be done and was told by their customer service that a rather long period had elasped since the warranty expired in 2006. So I was told to take the iMac to an authorised repair centre and Apple will not contribute to the cost of the repair.
I expect respectable service life from my computer and anything less than 5 years is totally unacceptable. Thus I seriously question the value proposition for the iMac in this respect. Does it mean that I have to replace my iMac every 2 years? The computer still feel reasonably zippy, I still have plenty of space left on my hard drive, but the screen is failing ...
Today another line (green) appeared on the screen ...
It is my understanding that a number of LCD monitor manufacturers are now providing 3 year warranties for their products. Now why should Apple only provide a 1 year warranty? Especially when the replacement option will cost more than buying an entire new LCD monitor with even better specifications?
Based on the number of responeses I have seen here, this is not a rare occurance and I seriously question their quality control in their manufacturing process. I think Apple should be responsible for these repairs, and also provide a 3-year warranty for their LCD screens.
My iMac's serial number is W8548Zxxxxx.
Sincerely yours, an unhappy Apple customer. -
I am new to Apple (Retina MacBook Pro), how can I maximize my experience?
Hello, I recently joined the Apple world by purchasing a 13" Retina MacBook Pro. So far, I couldn't be happier. I changed platforms from Google because the devices I have don't allow for local content playback and apps are buggy and slow to respond. (I also hate Windows 8 with a passion). I want to get the most out of my Mac and the Apple ecosystem so I would like to get some feedback from other users about how best to accomplish the following:
Seamless media syncing and playback on TV, phone, and computer
Planning to get an iPhone 6 and upgrade to Yosemite so personal data, photos, music, and video is accounted for
I have used Google Chromecast and have Google Play's music client, but uploading content to that environment is another step
I already have a modem w/ wireless and router built in courtesy of my internet provider, what would be the benefit, if any, to getting an AirPort Express, Extreme, etc?Would like the ability to back up my data - external hard drive is adequate, but wireless backup is tempting
I do writing and programming and I am already getting familiar with iBooks, iUniversity, and XCode - any other suggestions?
I am happy to be a part of the Apple world! Now I want to see what it can do! The bottom line is I want seamless access to all of my content across the devices I have.I have a MacBook. I purchased things apps like Pages, Numbers. etc in the App store. Im' just wondering how to put them on the new MacBook Pro without having to purchase them again. Will the Migration Assistant do this?

My book is assigned to Romance/Gay&Lesbian, but that's wrong, it sould be with Literature&Fiction/Gay. How can I get that corrected? Apple says get my submitter to request a change, or else use a Mac and make the request myself. I don't have a Mac. Smashwords is my submitter and they claim they have no power or influence over what category Apple chooses.
My book could be found by browsing if it was in Literature&Fiction/Gay, but no one can find it by browsing when it is in Romance/Gay&Lesbian. Apple offers no way to browse Gay&Lesbian books in the Romance section.
Browsing is a powerful way for a writer's first novel to be found. I want my book to be listed with all the other gay books.This was certainly worth a try, but Apple responded that they can only make changes in response to a request by the content provider, in this case (at this time, but probably not for long) Smashwords. So, one last try at Smashwords, who (as it turns out) knows less about providing content to Apple than you or I. If I can't convince Smashwords to educate themselves on how to deal with Apple, then I will withdraw my book from Smashwords completely and go buy a used Mac somewhere and become my own content provider to Apple. (Too bad Apple won't allow direct submissions without requiring that it be done with a Mac.)

My wife and I both have iPhone 4 phones. Neither of them have been upgraded to OSI 5. We share the same Apple ID to buy things, etc. We are planning to buy an iphone 4s for our daughter next month. We would all like to share the same Apple id so that we can make purchases from the same account ... that way we only fund one account. We would like to upgrade to OSI 5 and keep/share the same Apple id but be able to set up different iCloud accounts for when we sync our phones. How can we do that? One other thing, we like being able to fine our locations on the same screen (and would add our daughter) using Find My Phone. Can we still do that? Thanks in advance for your help.
You could and should set up different iCloud accounts in "Settings > iCloud", so that every user has its own email account, calendars, reminders, notes, storage for backups and app data (files etc.), by the way everyone could also use his own account for iMessage (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive) and FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) so that you all could write and call each other.
Next the Apple ID for music, apps and other media: You all could just set up the ssame Apple ID in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" for all your media purchases like songs, movies, apps etc. -
"I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them? Can I back those up to iCloud? My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)"
That was all I could put in the initial "box." Then it brought me to this page with instructions on how to write a good sentence.
Proceeding ...
After going back and forth between Apple, AT&T and the police (all telling me to go to the other two) I took AT&Ts suggestion and got a new number. One tech warned against doing a backup, especially on my Mac, saying if my phone had been hacked then whatever bug was there would then invade my computer. But nobody knows how to determine if the phone has been hacked or a virus was planted there. Unfortunately I know who would have reason to do such a thing and all I can say is that he is at the top technologically and could easily do it. Almost impossible to prove, however.
So I need to preserve my text messages and my emails as well. I backed up my photos to that Microsoft product (One-Drive) and it froze (Surprise, Surprise) with four short videos to go, and no way of stopping that (when I tried it crashed repeatedly) so I'm in crisis mode here.

Running 8.0 on 5S
Thanks!Betty I don't know if you fixed your hacking problem but I feel your pain. I've seen some strange things going on between my iMac and my iPhone and Apple has told me the same thing, call the police which I have done. The hackers have stole 500.00 out of my checking account have access to every internet account I use and no matter how often I change the password their right back on the account. I closed my FB account 3 times only to have someone reopen it. Right now I've got a link in my reading list (Safari) that if I click on it, it allows me to log onto my FB account anonymously.
I've seen a green folder come out of no where while I was trying to delete my passwords out of keychain when that green folder was put into the key chain I was immediately locked out. I than went into system preferences to try to make changes to my security settings, when I clicked on the icon it wouldn't open. I've seen log files of automator receiving commands and sending out my personal information thats on my computer.
I have a legitamate program called iExplorer that allows you to look at the contents of your iPhone back ups and saw a transaction someone made at the Apple store for some full length movies, some albums, ibooks and other apps but when I called the iTunes store and they said none of those items were showing up on my account. If their not on my account how can they be on my iPhone 6? One day someone was using my gmail account and unknowingly used google maps to search for an Italian restaurant, than a Mexican restaurant than a coffee shop and their search showed up on my iPhone but I didn't have my gmail account installed on my iPhone 6. Using my computer I logged onto my gmail account and looked at the maps history and sure enough there were the searches when I'd hover my curser over the link it gave me the longitude and latitude of the where the hacker was when he was using google maps. I know whoever reads this thinks Im crazy but I've documented everything and can prove the things that I have mentioned in this post actually happened.
One day I had my laptop (pc) and my iMac next to each other as I was using both. when I clicked on airport it showed that my laptop and my iMac had made a connection and were actually communicating with each other. I know I didn't do it I don't know how. The iMac was logged into my iCloud account while my laptop wasn't. I have formatted my iPhone at least a dozen times, Apple and an Apple retailer have formatted my hard drive not to mention the numerous times I have formatted it but the hackers keep getting on my devices. Im formatting my lap top at this very second because during the course of the night I left the ethernet cable plugged into it and they locked me out of my c: drive, and configured the system so I can't download any updates from Microsoft, overtime I type in www.microsoft.com it changes to ww38.microsoft.com which takes me to a blank page. I right clicked on the page I was redirected to and read the java script and couldn't believe that someone had actually configured Internet Explorer to redirect me to a blank page when I tried to go to Microsoft. Apples answer to all this is there was nothing wrong with my iPhone or my iMac and if I thought there was a problem to call the police which I have done.
Theres no doubt the hackers are reading this while I type it or will read it and I simply don't care anymore. I no longer email anyone, don't use my iCloud account and have taken precautions to protect my credit but if I ever find out who has invaded my privacy to this extreme the police are going to want to talk to me because Im going to hurt them like they've never been hurt before -
I have an iCloud account that I've been using for a long time (since the @mac.com days) which has everything Apple of mine asociated with it (iTunes purchases, AppleCare registrations, Cloud Storage).
I don't use that email anymore. I have a gmail that I've been using for a number of years now. My question is how I can set up a new Apple ID that the @gmail.com email address is the actual ID itself, and not just the Primary Email Address for the the @me.com/@icloud.com. I want to be able to control everything of mine (including iTunes/App Store purchases) on the new ID and just ditch the old email once and for all.
Please let me know if you need clarification on anything. Any feedback is appreciated.
Note: Apple doesn't allow iCloud accounts (Apple IDs) ending in @me.com, @icloud.com, or @mac.com to be changed.It means you have to enter your credit card and billing information (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2589), or create an ID without a credit card as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534.

How can I use a Java program to write an executable Applescript
I'm using a PC with Windows XP. I'm a private developer. I've written a project in Java and wish to deploy it to other people using email. I've written an Install program (the Main-Class) and successfully packed this in a jar file with the project class files and some data files all as described in the deployment trail in the Java Tutorials. A recipient with a Mac with OS X downloads the jar file and runs it to install the project class files and some data files. The install program then writes an Applescript file (Vocab.scpt shown below) on the Desktop to make starting my downloaded program easier but it doesn't seem to work and I think it may be because the script file is not "executable". Could this be the case? If so, how could I change my install program to make the script file executable or alternatively use some other system to start the downloaded program?
Vocab.scpt:-
# Script to start: Vocab Version: 1.0.0
do shell script "cd /Applications/Vocab; Java Vocab"
Many thanks for your interest. Unfortunately I don't have a Mac to experiment with this problem and although I have spent some days on and off trying to find an answer in the mass of information available on Apple's website I can only find small clues here and there to answer my problem (which I would have thought was quite a common one). In Windows a batch file (eg. Vocab.bat) is automatically executable.I didn't expect you to have your customer run the command. I would expect you to create the executable and install it. However, there wouldn't be any difference in what you are creating and the .jar file. Either way it is a faceless icon. For that matter, it is no different than a batch file on Windows. I'm not sure what they wouldn't understand with, "copy the Vocab.jar file to wherever you want and double-click it to run the program." In addition, you probably ought to point out that Java is not installed on Mac OS X Lion (10.7.x) and when they double-click the jar file (or whatever you send them), the system will ask if they want to install Java.
What you really need to do is package up the app inside a Mac application package and provide the user with the application on a .dmg (disk image). Take a look here: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Java/Conceptual/Jar_Bundle r/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40000884
I also found this which uses ANT to create the bundle: http://informagen.com/JarBundler/
