HT5467 Why has Apple made it SO hard to access Location Services?

Location Services should be on iPhone, on bottom pull up menu, in place of Timer. You could then control GPS battery drain quicker. Now in latest version they have made it even hard to turn off because you now have to confirm closing. At create an easy mode for those who wish to control battery power usage and a longer deep in the setting menu like it is now for those that want to just lock all changes to Location and GPS usage.

  • Why has apple dumbed pages down.

    why has apple dumbed pages down. It is now useful for school kids and maybe party invitations, not for professional work. Now I have to use Word to do my work. This is very disappointing.
    How long will it take for them to realize that some of us depended upon the utility in pages, numbers and many of the other apps.
    Who are they appealing to?
    If they Tonka Toy their hardware, it will be time for me to move on.

    This forum is not really public and is mediated by Apple.
    Pages 5 has over 90 other features removed:

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Export your Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx and trash/archive Pages 5.
    Then rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store where other users might see it before committing.
    I also suggest you let your disappontment be known wherever Pages 5 is reviewed. There is an unfortunate tendency for people who never use Pages or barely use it to parrot the old line that if Apple removed it nobody was using the features.
    This is the same asinine thinking that suggests if you never live in or vist any part of your city that it is OK for it to be bulldozed overnight.

  • Why has apple taken ical and address book sync away on mavericks

    why has Apple taken the ical and address book sync option away from itunes iphone info tab on the new OS Mavericks ???? Absolutley insane !!!!

    Independent of iCloud, here are a couple more options:
    1)  You could sync with Google
    2)  You could set up OS X Server ($19.99 download on the Mac App Store) and set up a CalDAV server and a CardDAV server on your local network, and use that to sync.  A few articles have been written on that, Google for some of those terms and you should find a walkthrough.
    What you CANNOT do is a tethered sync via iTunes.  Given it was removed, I highly doubt it's coming back.

  • Why has Apple decided that online orders for Macbook Air display and speak VO when first opened from the box? I"m guessing 1%or 2 % of your customers know what it is or want it.

    You are not talking to Apple, we are just users like you.  Only Apple knows that answer.

    You cannot put folders inside folders. Newstand is technically a folder. Don't panic.

  • Has Apple made any attempt to fix the 'no deleting apps on iCloud' yet? Would like this feature instead of going to Apple or having write them to get done.

    Has Apple made any attempt to fix the 'no deleting apps on iCloud' yet? Would like this feature instead of going to Apple or having to write them to get this feature. What's the point of having an iPad if you can't manage it. You get an app you thought you'd like, but don't & now it's taking up space for another app that could be useful, if not better.

    Items showing as in the cloud on app store, do not take up any spce on either your ipad or on your icloud, it is stored in the app store cloud.
    The main reason to not delete is it is the history of what you have purchased, you can hide it from view if you would like.

  • Why has apple not made ios 7 available for iPod touch 4th gen?! Ughh

  • IPod Touch Apple-made apps would hardly rotate on sunlight

    Hi everyone!
    I must admit that you might think I'm crazy, but, let me tell you about the very weird behavior of my iPod Touch...
    Since I updated the firmware to >2.0 (including the latest 2.1), my iPod is very reluctant to switch in landscape (or back in portrait) mode when... under direct sunlight! I leave in Japan and every morning, I leave home, walk to the subway ( ~ 15 minutes), take the train and arrive work. When I'm still at home, iPod Touch would rotate everytime I need it, in music mode, video mode, whatever. But, as soon as I go out, under direct sunlight, and for the 15 minutes walk, it would not rotate at all (while I'm walking, I'm holding it on purpose in landscape position, but the music wouldn't change to coverflow). Funny thing is... this happens only on Apple-made apps (music, video, calculator, etc.). I'm also a big fan of "Labyrinth" game and I can tell you: the accelerometer does work!!! Then, just a few minutes I move in the subway ( = not under direct synlight), rotation works again, and all the time I am really puzzled.
    Well, I finally decided to post a message on this forum because firmware updates come and nothing changes. Also, I might be wrong but I really do not think it has anything to do with a hardware issue. First, because as I said, the accelerometer works great with non-Apple apps, even when I'm outside. Second, because the problem appeared JUST when I upgraded from 1.5 to 2.0. Of course, I tried to wipe-off the iPod completely and reinstall but it would still be the same. Finally, I must say that although my iPod might have been hacked at some point in the past, it is not anymore since I am very happy with the Apple Store apps.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks but this page doesn't help. It just says "well, try another video". But, in my case, with same video, same application, when I'm in a closed space it works, and when I'm outside, it doesn't work. And it "selectively" does not work. Easy situation would be that when outside, it doesn't work at all, for any application. But in fact, it does not work for pre-installed Apple apps, but works great for downloaded apps (like "Labyrinth" that I mentionned about).
    (PS: I like the concept of the Vampire iPod!!! Maybe it was made in Transylvania?)

  • Why have apple made such a great item in the ipad2, and then just ruined it by air print, I have a Kodak wireless, and I am not paying stupid ink prices, the cost of air printers is huge, and the ink worse, why have they ruined a good item.

    AirPrint,,,, WHy?      Why have apple robbed us yet again, AirPrint, is useless, or buy another printer that apple have gained massive revenue from, the iPads are great but very high priced, and then you have to buy another high priced printer with high priced inks, I use a wifi Kodak, why should I buy another.
    You have to mess about with other apps and then have your other computer on, what's all that about Apple. Why have they ruined a really good thing.
    I cannot get my printer to work, and might just sell this stupid gadget, I am so annoyed at apple playing god with things, if you want it to work you have to jailbreak it, and the up pos Apple again, if you break it we will not repair it, that tells you exactly that they are playing god, wake up apple and smell the coffee.

    I have a Kodak wifi printer and print using the app Print Magic.  I do not need to have any of my home computers on to do this as they have nothing to do with wifi printing from my iOS devices (if you do not have a wifi printer and are sharing the printer off another computer, then of course, that computer needs to be on and connected to your wifi network).
    You can post with all the hyperbole you want, but none of us have any inside information as to why Apple's devices and iOS do certain things a certain way, or why they do not do things in the particular specific way you wish them to.  Airprint does not work with Kodak printers at this time.  There are numerous apps that will allow you to print to just about any wifi printer.

  • Why has adobe made Illustrator so clunky, difficult and unfriendly to use?

    Why has Adobe destroyed the workability of Illustrator? I've been working with Illustrator, professionally, since 1988 (and almost as long with Photoshop) and this 'Creative Cloud' incarnation is just a f******g DISASTER!!!! Do they deliberately set out to make it as difficult to use as possible? It's bad enough that  you have to sign up to this 'Creative Cloud' nonsense, but do the idiots that design the software ever try to actually work with it?!!! Have they got a clue about workflow?!!!!!
    There is ZERO customer service, and no way of giving feedback. The arrogance of Adobe is just astounding - almost as astounding as the breath-taking stupidity of the people who write the damned software. I just wish they'd stopped at Illustrator 10 - at least that was sensible and workable.
    If someone can actually - I mean REALLY - contact Adobe, you can tell them from me that their software and company policies stink - as does their arrogant indifference to paying customers evidenced by the complete absence of customer support. Also, you can tell them that their software writers are ignorant, incompetent fools.

    The poetic version would be that Adobe don't have a "vision" and simply are limping from version to version as long as they can make a buck with plugging on a handful of features every time. Specific to AI it's pretty clear that the software would have needed to be "reinvented" from the ground up 15 years ago. Similarly, the people responsible for its development now seem to prefer to waste their time with things like the barely workable new curve tool or those ridiculous MAX demos instead of tackling more fundamental issues like the atrocious and unreliable file format, import/ export handling, parametric editing and generative, reusable graphics, genuine 3D tools and whatnot.... Alas, things are as they are and thankfully there are other programs out there aplenty.

  • My iPad Air has the latest software update, since that the location services are not working! What to do? Even my friend's iPod has the same problem. Our version is iOS 7.1.2. I think that the services have stopped working since iOS 7.0.4.

    My iPad Air has the latest software version(iOS 7.1.2) update, since that update the location services have stopped working. have a solution?

    I have had the same problem, so many apps do not work properly without it! Apple says the internet satellite, the Internet satellite says Apple, back and forth with the blame instead of fixing the problem. Have turned location on and off, reset everything multiple times ( lots of hours and bandwidth to download ), Siri is now working part time, I guess she has cut back her hours for the summer. Even in these forums was suggested to check with Skyhook who does the global positioning, and after hours with them, they ended up saying that they have nothing to do with it anymore, Apple does. All to no avail and much frustration! I wonder if this is happening with the iPhone's? i'd like to know if this is happening with others that do not use satellite as their ISP? That would help narrow down the argument with Apple vs. satellite. Fell for you! Someone please help us! Ta

  • Why isn't the Facebook app appearing in my Location Services

    I am an iPhone 4 user with the most recent iOS update. I frequently use the Facebook application. As of recently I am unable to upload new photos. The status bar reads complete, however, nothing happens. I was told to check my Location Services to verify I had it turned on for the FB app, however, upon doing this I realized the application no longer even shows up as an option within the Location Services. I'm guessing this to be part of the issue, however, I have zero clue as to why it no longer shows up period vs just having it accidentally switched off. Anyone have knowledge on how to fix this by chance?

    delete the facebook app,from your phone,and then re-install it from the app store,try that,might work.it did for me.

  • Why has apple removed the ability to sync calendars, contacts, notes, and what ever by hard wire and is forcing people to use iCloud?

    Removing this ability has to be one of the worse moves that apple has made.  Beleave it or not some people may not want to connect to use iCloud.

    I hate iCloud, too
    Never use it. I don't want to trust any of my real important data to remote servers.
    Especially don't trust Apple and their servers with  personal contacts info, my calendar and appointments info, personal note, etc.
    I want the ability back to sync calendars, notes, contacts to my local computer and local storage.
