i would very much like to understand why Siri is being marketed as something new. before the latest iphone Siri was a free app which was present on my old iphone. Recently purchased another 3G and Siri is is no longer available??? Assumption is to use Siri I must buy the latest and greatest iphone.
Siri that is in the iPhone 4S is "new". It is based on technology the old app used (Apple bought the company), but it has been extended, enhanced, improved and integrated into the OS in a way the old app never could.
So, yes, now to use Siri you need an iPhone 4S. It is no longer available as a separate, third-party app.

I would very much like to do away with hotmail email, but its connected to my apple id…its my only email besides my iCloud,me,& mac....any advice would be great!!
The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

Hi! I am from Russia. I would very much like what would my phone 4 reminded me of birthdays of my contacts. It is very convenient. Thank you.
Go to your contacts, click add field, select birthday, and put in their birthday.
Then, go into settings --> mail, contacts, calendars --> scroll down to calendars --> default alert times --> and choose what alert time you want for birthdays. -

Because you have not entered billing information and it is required to confirm you are in the country which you are attempting to acquire content from.

Features I would very much like to see in Flash CS5
Just a preface: I'm coming at this from the perspective of a professional Flash character animator. I've worked on two TV shows and one big-budget online virtual world/game and I've been using Flash professionally since MX 2004. I've also written a lot of JSFL commands and done a little actionscript programming (I used to be a software engineer, so the programming comes pretty maturally to me).
So with that said, here are some of the things that I'd really like to see in the next version of Flash, approximately in order from more to les important:
3. Stability and user friendliness. Please, guys, spend a little more time on polish and leave off the one or two extra cool features that you were thinking about throwing in.
13. Color management. I can't emphasize this one enough. COLOR MANAGEMENT! Take a look at Toon Boom Studio for what I'm talking about. Particularly in large projects, the ability to have a real color palette, rather than just having each shape have an RGBA value, would be incredibly useful. That way if I decide I don't like the color of a character's shirt I could just change the shirt color palette entry and it would automatically update every shape in the file that used that palette entry. An extra bonus, though less important, would be to be able to control it from Actionscript -- to be able to change a palette entry dynamically at run-time.
5. non-affine transforms for symbols. Particularly, we want trapezoidal/perspective skew! I've heard SO many people talk about wanting this. I was hoping that the 3D stuff in CS4 would allow it, but no such luck. While it's theoretically possible the controls just aren't set up to allow it.
1. Make EVERYTHING in the Flash authoring environment scriptable. Currently there are a number of things that can be neither scripted nor given a keyboard shortcut, (for instance the onionskinning controls).
2. Make Flash remember its maximized status from the previous session (this is a problem in many Adobe products).
4. Real hardware 3d acceleration.
6. Refine the JSFL API to be more thorough and consistent (see also #1). Make it so that everything you can do in JSFL happens in a way that makes sense. For instance, a couple problems I had recently: delete a shape from the stage and then draw a new one with Path.makeShape() and the new shape is created as if the old one were still there (with extra vertices at edge intersections); and Path.makeShape() won't create cubic paths -- it automatically converts cubic contours to quadrilateral ones.
7. Speaking of types of paths: Make the distinction between quadrilateral and cubic paths clearer to the user. Most people I talk to don't have any idea what the difference is, or that cubic paths are likely to produce more vertices than they expect in the final SWF. In fact, I think you should consider ditching the distinction entirely, at least from the user's perspective. Make every path in the authoring environment cubic, and just convert them to quadrilateral (if you must) on export. This'll relieve a lot of annoyance from users unexpectedly finding that their shape they just created very frugally suddenly has three times as many vertices.
8. Make bones work better on raw shapes. In fact, make them work more like Maya: each bone should affect each vertex to a degree decidable by the user. Currently bones affect each vertex either 0% or 100%, which means that, for instance, it's nearly impossible to get a smoothly curving snake.
9. Add at least one new fill style: we have radial blending, but the major one we're missing is the OTHER kind of radial -- with rays shooting our from a center. Perhaps less realistically, I can't tell you how much it would rock to be able to use a path-based color blend -- where the blend actually follows an arbitrary path (like what you can do in Synfig -- www.synfig.org).
10. Add precision to the stage. Currently it's very hard to position things when zoomed in close, and display artifacts are show up on curves, where they get flattened out for no apparent reason. I think the display artifacts are new to CS4, so perhaps it's just a bug that needs to be worked out in the new display engine? But the current situation is a real pain -- where any symbol that's created relatively small will unavoidably contain rendering and positioning issues.
11. A feature that's been missing (and sorely missed by TV animators) since Flash 8 is the ability to smoothly copy and paste from Flash to Illustrator. There's absolutely no reason this shouldn't be an easy task, and I'm still confused as to why it disappeared from MX 2004 to Flash 8. It's extremely useful for applying art brushes to paths or animating 3D door swings in Illustrator and then bringing the art back into Flash.
12. For that matter, what about art brushes in Flash? I realize they would be heavy in the SWF -- either in rendering time or in space used -- but you've already got stipled brushtrokes, and aren't those just as heavy? Art brushes would be INCREDIBLY useful to animators and designers.
14. Engage with the people who use Flash. Get some dialogue going on between users and developers. Most Flash users I meet (admittedly mostly character animators and character rig builders/designers) have very specific wishes for Flash, and for the most part they coincide very nicely. Yet release after release we don't see any of the changes, features, or bugfixes, that seem the most obvious.Hi there,
I can assure you that the wishlist is monitored by our team. It does not go into a black hole or shredder - the messages are read by the Flash team, and forwarded as needed, and non-duplicate/legitimate bugs are filed.
Some of the things on your list are known. I'll go through the items, and encourage you to send some messages along these lines (I'd recommend one submission per item, but this is up to you).
* Stability and performance: This is definitely still being worked on. You'll see a lot of that work in the Flash 10.0.2 update, and I can assure you it's still a priority.
* Color management improvements: We do have bugs in this area filed, I believe very similar or the same as you have below, but please feel free to your ideas in this area if you'd like to ensure they're covered.
* Transforms for symbols (3D), and hardware acceleration: Should submit this to the Flash Player wishform (which is external, enabling votes) - if they support it, that support can be transferred to the authoring tool. http://bugs.adobe.com/flashplayer/
* Keyboard shortcuts and JSAPI: Please submit any specific requests (exact areas that are missing). For the keyboard shortcuts for UI where they cannot yet be assigned, this would be a separate request (I'm not sure about the feasibility of buttons as opposed to menu items).
* Cubic vs quadratic paths: This is known and is a difference between the authoring tools/UI and Flash Player, and it's the reason for "10" (more precision to the stage). It's not really about artifacts or precision, but about how Flash Player renders curves in general. If you draw in an AS2 document, you won't see the change from curves to flat edges. If you export that document to the Player in AS2, you'll see the "artifacts" you see on the stage in AS3 documents. This is a known issue of the authoring UI and drawing tools, and making this better is really really high priority in my books too.
* Bones: Many issues are known and presently being worked on.
* Fill style: Please feel free to file this enhancement request, I'm not sure if it has been requested.
* Cross-product copy/paste (Illustrator): This is known, but if you have some specific issues or workflows you've encountered and want to make sure its rectified, please send that along.
* Brushes: Definitely requested/known. I'd love to see that too, in particular.
* Engaging with users: Definitely covered too! That's why we have betas (which do include prominent animators), why I hang out here, and so on. We do have designers (I went to art school) and animators on the team too. I know how it feels though - many of the features I'd most like to see can't be added yet, as Flash covers such a broad user base from coders to animators (many releases have left the coders feeling the same way). All I can say is please submit your feedback to the wishlist, and continue to voice up about what you'd most like to see in Flash with the specifics.
Great feedback!
Thanks. -
Brought thee Microsoft office app on istore but app is faulty, would like a refund.. What can I do about it please?
There is no Microsoft Office app for iOS devices. What you bought is almost certainly only a book or guide about using Office on a computer. That's usually made pretty clear in the description for the book, so you probably cannot get a refund, since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
It's possible they'll make an exception for you.
Good luck.

i cant use the highlight, underline, or strikethrough function in a specific pdf file. The file isnt locked. I used to highlight texts from that file before the latest update. The problem occurs only with that file. Urgent need. Please help. Thanks!
Chester31,
Thank you very much for sharing your file with us! Now that we are able to reproduce the problem at our end, you may stop sharing the file on Acrobat.com.
Do you know when this problem (for not being able to add new highlight/strikeout/underline) has started? Did you update your iOS from 7.x to 8.0 recently?
We will continue investigating the problem and let you know what we find.
Thank you again for your help. -
The church's iMac was registered by an employee that is no longer at the church. We would like to update the OS to Lion as well as some of the software. Since we do not know the password, is there a way to reset it it? Or do we need to wipe and reinstall the OS, register and then update? If so, how hard is it to reboot?
OK, thanks for that. Look on the original OS X install disc and see if that say Leopard 10.5.x or Snow Leopard 10.6.x. You advised in the last post the system is running 10.6.4, which is Snow Leopard. The most up-to-date version of Snow Leopard is 10.6.8, once we get your password changed we can work on getting it up-to-date.
So to change the administrators password you will do the following:
Insert the Snow Leopard Install Disc into the SuperDrive and restart the computer , when you hear the Startup Tone hold down the Option key.
Choose the SL Install Disc
Choose the language
Select the Utilities Menu - Select Password Reset
Select your Mac OS X hard disk volume.
Select the user name of your original administrator account. (you can change this later!)
Enter the new Password (remember to re-enter in the second box)
Quit the app by hitting the Command - Q keys
Quit the Installer (Command - Q again)
Restart -
Third party accessories no longer supported... All my charging cables were great before the latest ios update, why?
I don't know which accessories you have, but the 'better' ones are usually made with Apple's cooperation. Stuff from Targus, Kensington, Belkin and the like.
Ive used a belkin and Onn lightning cable with my iPod with no error messages.
You SHOULD be able to keep using the accessories and just ignore the warning. But I say should because that may not be the case with everything.
The issue stems from various incidents involving shoddy third party accessories malfunctioning - sometimes quite spectacularly. But the headlines never read 'cheap knock off cable shorted out' they read 'iphone burst into flames' -
My IPad2 just got fixed at the Apple Store, but it looks like they loaded up the latest iOS. When i got it home and mated it to ITunes(MacBook Pro), I was prompted to load the latest OS into my main computer which now runs on OS X version 10.5.8...how do i get the latest OS so i can get the latest iTunes and am i looking at problems with the MacBook buy leap frogging so many OS's?
Buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Install it, update to OS X 10.6.8 using Software Update, and then you'll be all set with iOS 7. -
Every time I try to back up my Macbook Pro with an external hard drive using Time Machine, I receive the error of "the disk does not have enough space". I have a 500GB external hard drive and only 120GB Macbook. It worked fine before the latest Maverick's update. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My guess would be it has created an entirely new backup of your drive when you upgraded to Mavericks.
