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.

Apple already supports BT4, and has supported it for some time (since it became available)

HT204003 if i open passbook on iphone 5, it always say cannot connect to itunes, any fix from apple tech support? and whats the reason for this problem? why do we have to figure it out and not even apple can give answer??

if i open passbook on iphone 5, it always say cannot connect to itunes, any fix from apple tech support? and whats the reason for this problem? why do we have to figure it out and not even apple can give answer??

actually i found out how to fix it
1 sign out of apple account
2 close down passbook app
3 change year to 2013
4 reopen passbook and sign in at the button with your apple ID
5 change the time to auto update and it should work from now on.
this worked for me let me know if it work for you:)

How can I reset my IPAD 2 to resolve the fact that Apple will not let me use the APPLE ID and passwords that I want to use becasue they may have been used in the past year. I am very close to donating this contraption to the Good Will.

I have been an Apple User for almost two decades and have had no problems with my G4 Powerbook, my Intel MacMini, nor several other Macs as well as Windows 7 machines. However, the IPAD2 poses a problem of unfathomable disgust with the concept and implementation of the Apple ID. There is one for the computer, there is one for support, and there is one for itunes, and possibly another one for apps. There are different passwords for each. I am continually faced with notification that my Apple ID is incorrect or the password is incorrect. I have to keep an Excel spreadsheet with all of this unnecessary NANNY State protection matched only in pervasiveness by the Federal government.
I am told that an Apple ID can never be destroyed and replaced. Who dreamed that one up? I am told I cannot use a password that has been used in the past year. Why? By whose authority? I am not a walking encyclopedia that remembers every telephone number he ever dialed. Thankfully my cheap LG clamshell telephone keeps numbers and talks to Ford Sync successfully.
Bottom line is that the IPAD has become almost totally useless since I cannot change the several necessary passwords to anything I can remember because they are not novel enough. I also never seem to be able to keep the Apple IDs straight as they are too numerous to remember and I don't want to remember them anyway. Why? Even if you enventually get the ID right you have the wrong password and have to go through a merry-go-round of emails to change the password to something you have already used in the past year which is not permitted.
Has anyone out there used a competitive device with less cumberson overhead? Surely this is not the best American technology can produce.
Thanks for your comments.

Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
Thanks for your comments.

Is there any chance that Apple will bring back spaces as it was in SL?

Why did they discontinue it?

Spaces feature is been replaced by mission control: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4689
Doesn't look like spaces will be back...

I bought my macbook pro in march 2007. I am currently running osx 10.6.8, but want to upgrade to lion or mtn lion. Apple website says i need a mid 2007 or later macbook pro, how do I tell if my Macbook pro will support this upgrade?

The Mid-2007 model didn't come out until June 2007, so you must have bought an earlier model. It won't run Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.x), but it might run Lion (10.7.x) if you can get hold of a copy, depending on which earlier model it is.
Lion requires at least a Intel Core 2 Duo processor. The first MacBook Pros came out in January 2006, but they had "Core Duo" processors (no "2"). The Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros came out in October 2006. You could have bought either in March 2007.

Is there any hope of apple adding a 're-link with media folder'-type function to iTunes?

Is there any hope of apple adding a 're-link with media folder'-type function to iTunes?
I have 1000s of broken links after installing the latest version of iTunes and updating some files in my media folder. The location of my itunes library has not changed, and all the files are there (I know because I've just waited several hours for the files to be updated by my ultra-slow computer) - by my logic, there should be some menu option that simply re-synchronises with the media folder, just like itunes would do with an ipod - it can't be that hard can it? The only way I can restore a link is by clicking every song (I have over 28,000) and locating the file in the folder that iTunes claims to use as its media folder - the new version 10 option of then using this location to restore all broken links doesn't work because it only looks in the specific album file, and after a couple of times this dialog box no longer even comes up, so I couldn't ask it to do this even if I wanted to. At the moment the only option I can see is to completely wipe iTunes and re-load all my music from scratch - using my tired and over-worked computer this will realistically take around 15 hours that I don't have, and my computer will melt in the process. I wish I'd never tried to 'tidy up' my iTunes library...
PLEASE Apple, how hard can it be to have a function that searches for and restores broken links by itself????? I've told you where the music is - just flipping look for it yourself instead of getting me to do it!

You don't have to re-rip, re-import or re-download all your content. You can clear the iTunes library, either by selecting all in the libary and pressing the Delete key, saying "no" when it asks if you want to remove the files themselves, and then use the Add To Library command, selecting the iTunes Media folder (or iTunes Music folder, as applicable to your situation), and that will add back all your content. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes; if it does, something may be amiss with your hard drive or the library file is corrupted (in which case just delete the library file and re-do the Add To Library command).
Regards.

I have a game but it only for one apple id and one divece but someone i dont know id play that game and using my apple id and i want to know if u can block them from using ur apple id and also erase all the games they downlode with the apple id

There probably is, but it requires that you be able to use punctuation and write in sentences so that we can understand exactly what you want.
You can block others from using your Apple ID by changing your password. There is no way to erase what was already downloaded on to someone else's device, for obvious reasons,

In general you can only down load technology products.

Hi there. My iPod Nano was stolen from my car today. I do know the serial number of this stolen device. Is there any way that Apple can block another user from connecting this stolen device to iTunes?

Is there any way that Apple can block another user from connecting this stolen device to iTunes? Also, if another user was to attempt to connect this stolen device to iTunes, would Apple be able to inform of the username of this person in order that I could then pass this information to the police?

Good day Sidharth Namrta,
It sounds like you are unable to make any calls, but you can recieve them, and everything else seems to work fine. I recommend you use the troubleshooting in the following article to help you get that resolved, named:
iPhone: Troubleshooting issues making or receiving calls
Follow the steps below to resolve this issue. Please test after each step.
Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
Check your phone settings:
Check your Do Not Disturb settings: Tap Settings > Do Not Disturb.
Check for any blocked phone numbers: Tap Settings > Phone > Blocked.
See if Call Forwarding is turned on: Tap Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding.
Ensure that your software is up to date:
Check for a carrier settings update.
Check for an iOS software update.
Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
If the iPhone has a SIM card, reseat the SIM card.
If the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s is on the Verizon network, dial *228 from the iPhone and select option 2 to update the Preferred Roaming List (PRL). The PRL determines the cellular towers the phone uses for cellular service, selecting those with the best signal strength.
Reset the network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Try to make or receive calls in another location.
Attempt to isolate to one network band:
If you're having the issue on LTE, disable LTE, if possible, and try again.
If you're having the issue on 3G/4G, disable 3G/4G, if possible, and try again.
Contact the carrier to check the following:
Your account is properly configured to use the specific iPhone that has the issue.
There are no localized service outages.
Your account doesn't have a billing-related block.
Your calls don't have errors on the carrier system.
Restore the phone as new.
If the above steps don't resolve the issue, go to an Apple Retail Store, carrier, Apple Authorized Reseller, or contact AppleCare to send the phone in for service.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Is there any reason that Apple can't support iOS4.3 on the second generation iPod touch?

I have a number of Apps that can no longer run on my iPod touch second generation because these Apps now requires iOS to be v4.3 or later. For example, I used to be able to run Skype on this iPod touch, but it failed a couple of weeks ago. I could not download it from App Store again since it requires v4.3 iOS and Apple does not support v4.3 upgrade on this iPod touch. The hardware is perfectly fine - I don't see any reason that it cannot support v4.3 upgrade other than Apple wants us to buy newer products. If that's the case, it leaves a very bad taste on customers' mouth. How can Apple force their customers to dump what they bought a little over 2 yrs ago because Apple doesn't allow iOS upgrade and customers can no longer run the Apps they need on this device as a result? There is no way that I am going to buy another Apple product based on this bully behavior!

I am not sure that I buy that. Even if that's the case, why can I not continue to run the Apps that used to be supported on v4.2? I should be able to run the version of Skype App that is compatible with iOS v4.2. Since Apple controls the App Store content, they should allow those who stay on v4.2 continue to access the Apps that they used to run on v4.2.
Becuase App Store continues to push for updates, now it has pushed my iPod to a point of no return as those Apps are no longer supported on v4.2. I cannot go back to the versions of the Apps that could run on v4.2 - I was happy with Skype (and other Apps) running on my iPod but that version of Skype is no longer available because App Store does not allow that. It renders my iPod touch useless due to Apple's monopoly control!
If anyone knows how to download the older versions of Apps that can run on v4.2, please advise - many thanks!

HT4818 Is there any word on when apple will support Windows 8 in bootcamp?

Hi all,
Is there any word on if Apple will officially support W8 using Bootcamp (and not Parrallels etc)?
I assume that it will happen once W8 is officially released in October however I was wondering if anyone has any official word.
Otherwise, if a clean install of the Win 8 RTM is already able to be done via bootcamp can someone point me to some instructions (the only reason I dont want to do it myself is because all the drivers from BC are for Win 7)

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Apple will support it when Windows 8 is released. You can install Windows 8 at your risk, because Boot Camp doesn't support it now

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