HT1349 how come Apple Apps are sometimes complete rubbish and do not work - do Apple not check what you can buy in the Apple store?

I have just bought a thermometer on Apple Store and it is useless - do Apple not check the apps they sell?  I had to pay for this one.

Take it up with the developer. Apple did not make the app.
Yes, Apple does have a screening process or else there would be floods of scams. When you get your email receipt, click the Report a Problem link, follow the steps and say the item was not as described (depending on how you define "useless"). Sometimes a bad one slips through.

  • TS1646 I'v tried many times to update my applications however, my account can't do it because security code for my card is incorrect note that I'm sure my card details are correct completely so i need help to fix it as much as you can plz. Thnks

    Hi
    I'v tried many times to update my applications however, my account can't do it because security code for my card is incorrect note that I'm sure my card details are correct completely so i need help to fix it as much as you can plz. Thnks

    Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
    If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
    Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
    I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful.

  • I just download mountain lion to my mac,  now microsoft office suite doesn't work....it says 'you can't open the application 'microsoft word' because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.  What does this mean and what do I have to do to fix it??

    Install Snow Leopard on another boot partition, or upgrade Microsoft Office to a newer version, or use any number of better alternatives. Some of them are free.
    Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice ($10)
    OpenOffice (completely free)
    In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.

  • TextEdit.app is corrupt. I have tried repairing and I have tried reinstalling but it still says You can't open the application TextEdit.app because it may be damaged or incomplete.

    TextEdit is  not working. I have tried repairing and I have tried reinstalling but it still says "You can't open the application TextEdit.app because it may be damaged or incomplete."
    Can anyone give me some other ideas as to how to fix.  Thanks.

    Thats the first thing I tried last night. And reinstalled just textEdit but no luck, then I deleted TextEdit and reinstalled it again and I was still getting the same message.  Tried pacifist this morning again but this time I tried reinstalling the whole apps package half way through its says it cant reinstall due to multiple missing files.
    Tried the repair option on the OS  disc it says everything is fine

  • How come Apple Store does not sell 6 Core or 12 Core Mac Pro?

    It was around March they had Apple Mac Pro 12 Core for sale but now they don't how come?
    I tried looking on other websites and they said it's discontinued.
    I tried eBay they have a few new ones for sale.

    Just "Select" one of the new black cylinder models. Then you get a new screen that allows you to specify "features". One feature is 12 cores.
    The cost of that Mac is nearly double the cost of a 4  core. Are you sure you are doing enough Ray Tracing or Compressor or similar work to keep that many cores busy?
    For about the same money as the 12-core, you could have two complete four-core models.
    For only US$500 more than the four core, you could have a 6-core, a nice balance between practical everyday capability and some modest ability to stretch into the heavy rendering work.

  • HT1414 How do I get apps that require iOS 5 on my Iphone 4S with the latest version of 6.0.1 currently installed on it?  I cannot install many of the apps I want to use and am not sure what to do.  Thank you.

    I am not very good at navigating the Iphone so please be patient.  I have an Iphone 4S with the latest 6.0.1 and I would like to be able to download some of the apps that require iOS 5 on my iphone.  How do I do that.  When I look for the iOS 5 update it is no longer available.  I found that it is supposed to be available on Itunes.  I have not found it on Itunes.  All help is appreciated.  Thank you.

    Well, no. It's because that the iPod 4th Gen has iOS 6 and the apps need iOS 7. I suggest that you get the new iPod 5 because it has iOS 7. Also the iPod 4 does not have enough CPU or RAM. The new iPod 5 has enough CPU and RAM to store iOS 7 apps.
    Thanks!

  • Why are certain Gmail messages and conversations not appearing in Firefox 4 (I get the left sidebar, top bar, but message fails to appear), but functions fine in all other browsers?

    Certain messages in Gmail are not displaying properly (http://img607.imageshack.us/i/screenshot20110228at101.png/). These messages appear properly in all other browsers (including previous versions of Firefox), and also appear when I disable all labs. Disabling Right Side Chat labs appears to enable display of the message, but destroys all formatting (page stretches to the right beyond viewable resolutions, line breaks disappear), and so on.

    Thank you for your prompt email.
    I have thoroughly checked and double-checked all the factors below.
    On two different computers. Unfortunately, nothing has helped yet.
    I can assure you that each item listed below has been checked several times during all my searching today and ALSO again right now.
    There are no problems with Plugins, Themes or Extensions found. No permissions blocked, No media blocked images, No third-party permissions blocked. No images blocked from any domains. And images are 'Enabled'. There are no exceptions in place to the loading images. No exclusions in my security software settings.
    AND I have checked all of this on a second computer that is also having this same problem. That person is using a different security software than I am but they are having the same problem with images in only their Gmail account also - but NOT when using IE9. Only when signing in through Firefox. And we both think it started yesterday or this morning.
    That pc is still on Firefox version 12.0. I updated earlier today to version 13.0 but the problem is still ongoing for both of us.
    Any further help will be greatly appreciated.
    I have to get something accomplished. WAY behind now.
    Thank you,
    ElaineB.

    How come although iPads are getting more powerful, the iOS apps from apple are so mediocre and just not that great? We spend all this money for the latest ipad and all we get is these $5 video and music apps from apple. Why create the iOS platform and only offer so so apps like IMovie and GarageBand ? While other developers are offering much better apps like pinnacle studio for video, Cubasis and Auria for music production, apple has not showed much growth in terms of innovation. While there's nothing wrong with making an app like GarageBand where "anyone " can make a song, how about something for real musicians or an app not so basic as it get for video editing? After spending 0ver $700 on an ipad I'd be willing to spend more than $5 for a better video or audio app.

    First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • How come my apps stop working?

    how come my apps, they work but then they stop working and sometimes (actual all the time) i have to re-download them. and even after i do they work for about a day then stop working.

    Try the standard fixes:

    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Restore from abckup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • How come some apps won't play sound on a USB device but only on the internal speaker while others can?

    How come some apps won't play sound on a USB device but only on the internal speaker while others can? Mac OS 10.8.5

    You can simply set your system preferences
    Sound preference
    output - to whatever your USB device/audio interface is
    Your question seems a bit vague to me though. So can you actually inform us of what it is you are trying to do and give us examples with named kit.
