How do I get transit routing maps back in iOS 6?

Hi there,
My phone stopped receiving messages, and I was forced to update to iOS 6 on my 4S to get it working again.
I've heard bad things about Apple maps (the reason I was holding off updating), but I can't believe how bad it is. Here in Montreal, it is completely unusable.
I use Google maps all day, every day for transit directions and need to get it restored. I tried the web app, but it doesn't work well at all.
So, short of buying an S3, how do I get native Google maps back on my 4S?
Annoyed at such a drastic loss of functionality and disregard for user experience.

I hope someone from Apple hears this clearly.
I've been extoling the virtues of the iPhone and iOS since day one, but with this, you leave me nothing to stand on. I can't argue in it's favor without sounding like an idiot anymore.
Removing Google maps, giving priority to your business interests over the user's experience, is the last straw for me.
To S3 and functional mapping I go.

    how do I get my camera roll back following iOS 8 upgrade?

    Then Apple should tell owners about this before the upgrade, so we know what to do. This is very typical of Apple, who assume owners are geniuses and can get themselves out this kind of issue. You say I should be importing pics to my Mac, why should I? I import the pics I want for the longer time and don't import others that I want to keep on my iPhone. What I don't expect is for an upgrade to delete stuff without a clear warning. I will be taking this up with Apple. I remain pretty fed-up.

  • How do I get the internet connection back onto ipad even though it connects to Wifi successfully and I have checked on my iPhone which does connect via the same wifi and to the internet?

    How do I get the internet connection back onto ipad even though it connects to Wifi successfully and I have checked on my iPhone which does connect via the same wifi and to the internet?

    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make/model, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat.

    How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat. We had this working using Messages and Facetime (on the new machine) talking to my existing iChat account. One day last week, when Facetime rang, my kids answered on the iPad. Dang! Now it's all fouled up! The new iMac won't see my AIM account name and shows that I'm offline, because the iPad is off. We were able to call using "most recent call" in Facetime, but now I can't go and control that new iMac remotely to help with some email concerns the user is having. I'm trying to not personalize this too much, but it's grandkids talking to Grandma and Mom and Dad trying to solve new machine hiccups. Normally, I could just go in via iChat and control the other machine and troubleshoot, but I can't do it with Facetime only. My buddy list doesn't see  the other computer even though we are connected on Facetime right now. My name is not highlighted for the other computer. What could have gone so wrong?
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • I have authorized a new computer, and itunes is not registering recent purchases. How do I get my entire library back on this new computer without having to re-buy them all?

    I have just gotten a new computer which runs windows.
    I have authorized this computer with itunes...
    But the library and playlists I had on the first computer are not showing up on this one, and when I log into the itunes store, it is not showing any of my recent purchases (like one I bought as soon as last night.)
    How do I get these songs/playlists back, or do I have to actually re-buy all these songs?

    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

  • Since installing 4.0.1 I can't right click on the Icon in my task bar and have Firefox give me the option of "close and save" the tabs. Only let's me know I'm about to close multiple tabs. How do I get "save and close" back?

    Before installing 4.0.1 I could right click on the Firefox icon on my computer's taskbar and hit close window. It would then give me the option to "save tabs and quit" or "close all tabs."
    Now it just alerts me that I'll be closing multiple tabs.
    It was convenient to be able to close Firefox and open it with all of the tabs in place. There is nothing more irritating than having multiple tabs lost because your computer did an update overnight and restarted. Also it was helpful when you wanted to run a tun-up or cleaner that asked you close out of your browser for optimum result's.
    How do I get "save and quit" back?
    Thanks

    Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • I have used the same Apple ID on my children's iPads. Both iPads are now showing as the same. How do I get the missing account back?

    I have used the same Apple ID on my children's iPads. Both iPads are now showing as the same. How do I get the missing account back?

    You can clear the iPad and start again with the other account> Settings->General->Reset->Erase all Content & Settings
    Or you can go to Settings->Itunes and App Stores->Apple ID->Sign Out,
    And Then  Sign in with the other account. You can then download the Apps with that account. Though you may block the other account for 90 days.
    Your best bet is to set it up again using the orighinal account it had, so you can get their Apps back. without affecting your account.

  • HOW DO I GET THE OLDER BROWSER BACK???

    ORIGINAL REVISED QUESTION =
    AFTER ALL THAT ~ going through the whole MESS you have created and YOU TELLING ME that "in order to have a chance of getting my question answered ~ to give you ALL THE DETAILS I CAN", you REFUSE to accept is by saying, "Please keep the length of your question to 255 characters or less ..."!!! Are you INCAPABLE of saying that BEFORE I go through all the other MESS??? HOW DO I GET THE OLDER BROWSER BACK???
    ORIGINAL QUESTION = I had SEVERAL plugins that WORKED!!! Then, I "upgraded" {as you, LAUGHINGLY, claim} to your Firefox 4 version after being promised by you that it's BETTER and, supposedly, an IMPROVEMENT over the older version. After I installed the NEW one ~ IT TURNED OFF ALL MY PREVIOUS PLUGINS!!! Your WISHTHEYWUZ "PROGRAMMERS", very cleverly {and, actually, HATEFULLY} ummmm, kinda "forgot" to make the new browser BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE so that it didn't DESTROY everything we, already, had ~ that WORKED before YOU got hold of it!!! So, now, *HOW* do I get the OLDER version back??? I think you should KNOW what you can do with this newer "UPGRADE" that is, actually, a LIE!!! UPGRADES do NOT take you in REVERSE ~ making things WORSE ~ real upgrades make things BETTER!!! DUH-H-H-H!!!
    ORIGINAL DETAILS =
    I, recently, purchased a new HP 4500 Printer and it came with a video-capture extension/plugin. Attempting to use it, the program informed me that I needed to be using, either, an EI or a Firefox Browser mentioning version 1.5 {I think it was} or later. The Firefox browser I was using was 3.something; so, everything was going along FINE. When I installed the video capture program, it added the plugin to the browser ~ PERFECTLY!!! I, also, had MANY other plugins that worked and that I used somewhat regularly!!! NOT ANY MORE!!! YOU and your TOTALLY INEPT, WISHTHEYWUZ "PROGRAMMERS" have STOLEN nearly HALF of my COMPUTER!!! I can, no longer, USE ANY OF THOSE PLUGINS, simply, because YOU "forgot" {let's say} to INCLUDE them in your new browser version 4. WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THEM??? WHY DIDN'T *YOU* WANT ME TO BE ABLE TO USE THEM, ANY LONGER???
    Apparently, YOU think that the computer world revolves around YOU and that YOU are its AXIS!!! You feel that YOU have NO RESPONSIBILITY to make YOUR programs in any way compatible with what is, already, available ~ according to the "advice" I noticed on one of YOUR pages WHILE REACHING THIS ONE, you said that everybody else must accommodate YOUR claimed "improvements" that do nothing but DESTROY!!!
    All I want is for YOU to, either, MAKE YOUR VERSION 4 COMPATIBLE; or, advise me on HOW to get the EARLIER version back that *IS* compatible. Otherwise, I'll switch to a different browser and advise all others over whom I have any influence to do the same for the sake of their overall computering enjoyment!!!
    PLEASE ADVISE!!!
    I see that you have provided {below this window} a space for, likely, a SINGLE Extension / Plugin. Therefore, a PARTIAL LIST follows ~
    ArcSoft Video Downloader Extension 2.0.0.8
    Copy to Wordperfect Lightning 1.0
    Google Photos Screensaver 2.0
    HP Smart Web Printing 4.5
    iWinGames Plugin 1.5
    Microsoft.NET Framework Assistant 1.2.1
    RAW Thumbnail Viewer 2.0.0.11
    Real Player Browser Record Plugin 1.1.3
    TVU Web Player 2.5.3.1
    Yahoo! Toolbar 2.1.3.20100310105313

    THANK YOU, TREMENDOUSLY, for the responsive information!!! Although, the WISHTHEYWUZ "programmers" and those that are, actually, controlling and "in charge" of this website ~ you know who I mean ~ those that are so SUPERB at, ONLY, "PASSING THE BUCK" in order to get the regular USERS to answer the questions directed at THEM {as mine was}!!! In that way, of course, they EVADE countless issues and what would be EXTREME PANGS OF GUILT to anyone that "stood responsible" for their actions!!! Regardless, even though, "THEY" continued to lay the blame for the SHODDINESS & EXTREME INEPTNESS OF *THEIR* PROGRAMMING ATTEMPTS onto others ~ the links that *YOU* were kind enough to share with me *DID*, in fact, get my older ~ MUCH MORE USABLE browser back!!! Of course, NOW, the shoddy WISHTHEYWUZ "PROGRAMMERS" have rigged everything so that I will be HOUNDED and HARASSED in order to try to FORCE the crappy version 4 back onto me!!! I, still, wanna provide YOU with all the ACCOLADES possible!!! Your desire to attempt to HELP OTHERS is, truly, a remarkable characteristic in today's world of SELFISHNESS and UNGODLY attitude problems!!!

  • After syncing my phone my email shows differently...It showed all of my emails as unread. Now it shows how many emails I have withthe red oval beside the envelope icon rather than just the new ones. How do I get it to go back to only showing new emails?

    After syncing my phone my emails all showed up as unread. Even after reading them again! I still get the # of total emails in the red oval beside the envelope app picture. It used to only show the number of NEW emails. How do I get it to go back to that?? HELP!

    Is there a setting in about:config that controls the length of the alltabs list? I would look for such a thing, and change the setting if it is there. A setting of -1 should make it limitless.
