In support of Apple
All I've been reading are alot of negative comments about Apple's iPhone 4.
I would like to go on record as saying that I LOVE my iPhone 4. Yes, I have some reception issues. Yes, I paid $30 for a "Bumper" But that is... to me... a very small price to pay for the best smartphone on the market today which is totally compatible with my mac book pro for email, contacts, calendar, etc.
I lieu for all the complaints, please don't forget to give Apple credit when credit is due... and I do not work for Apple nor am I affiliated with any Apple product, organization, etc. I'm just an ordinary user.
Thanks!

I've already supporting Apple by purchasing thousands of dollars worth of products including all the iPhones except iP3GS.
I thing by returning the iP4 within 30 days without a restocking fee is admirable by Apple. But here's the problem.....most won't because it's a phone and the majority will not because they don't want to be without a (smart)phone.
There's an allusion by most that returning a iPhone4, then re-activating and syncing and old phone, getting re-authorized by AT&T for a free upgrade, and returning to your original contract is a hassle that most people will not go through.
Therefore the majority will keep a defective phone (iP4) to avoid the "hassle's".

I uploded the new itunes software and now my ipod touch is not getting reconized in my itunes. I went through all the trouble shooting support from apple. But I do have a avast antivirus on my computer i wonder if that is what is holding it up
Could be since it (security software) is listed as #5 in the following:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows -
I have a G5 which I intend to keep.
Now that I have updated my iphone 4s to iOS 7.0.
I cannot add music to my iphone or upload photos to iphoto.
I have the last itunes 10.6.3. which was supported by apple.
itunes will not interact with my iphone on any level.
Apple made all the equipment I use.
Bentley and Ferrari etc do not stop making parts for their cars?
The least Apple could is.
A. Update itunes to run on a G5
Regarding iOS 7.0 you have totally lost the plot.
We buy apple why?
Quality.
Intuitive interface.
Stable software.
Design.
All that Steve Jobs consider sacrosanct.
Quality is about ongoing support longevity of product.
Its not about trying to sell to every person on the planet, others are way ahead of you.
So try respective the customers you have, it wont be long before theirs a better operating system and your lead in hardware is marginal.

My post on facebook this morning.
If you have an iPhone or iPad do not update to ISO 7 unless you want an operating system that looks like windows 8. The graphics looks like it was designed by a artistically challenged mongoose and the operating system is not intuitive something apple users expect. Overly complicated ugly and generally change for the sake of apples paranoia since the death of Steve Jobs.You need to update iTunes to 11.1 on your PC

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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 backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How to get direct support from apple
Hi, I am a new iPod user... I have just created a new account and I am having problems with language support. So I tried to get support from Apple and ended up here...
So my first question is, is this forum being maintained exclusively by iPod users or are there any apple employees helping too? Is there otherwise some other way to get help online from apple or are we on our own, just as if we were using any piece of freeware software?
And here is the original question that made me look for support: I live in Spain but like to use my PC in English. My Windows is configured for English, and so is the iTunes software. But since I have registered my user account under a Spanish location, I cannot avoid getting the iTunes Store in Spanish language. The result is a mixture of Spanish and English in the iTunes window. Is there a way of changing that and keeping my Spanish profile and billing details while getting all text in English?
By the way there must be a bug in the registration process... the first time the credit card data is requested, it says "if you live outside the US click here", so I clicked there, then selected "Spain" and I got an OK screen which ended my registration process... but the account was not created, since I was getting "unexistant account" responses. So I had to create the same account again... the second time iTunes knew I was in Spain so I could proceed with the credit card data and the account was created. This means that the screen flow fails to create a proper account in the cases where you have to select a different billing country.
OK... that is all, sorry for the long list of questions.is this forum being maintained exclusively by iPod users or are there any apple employees helping too?
Though on rare occasions you will see a post from an Apple employee, the Discussions are intended for user-to-user assistance only. There is no guarantee, nor even a strong likelihood, that an Apple employee will ever respond to any post here.
Is there otherwise some other way to get help online from apple or are we on our own, just as if we were using any piece of freeware software?
It depends on the problem. If you're having a technical problem with iTunes or an iPod, you can call Apple tech support (there is no support via email for problems with Apple hardware or applications). The call may not be free, depending on when you purchased your iPod and whether or not you have AppleCare for it.
If you have a problem with the iTunes Store, then go to the iTunes Store Customer Service site, select the page most appropriate for your issue, and submit the web form that you'll find at the bottom of those pages (note that the form won't be on any KnowledgeBase article page, only those from the Store itself).
I cannot avoid getting the iTunes Store in Spanish language.
To the best of my knowledge, the Spanish iTunes Store itself is only available with Spanish titles, etc., regardless of what language you have your system set for.
As to your registration, did you get the account created successfully? Or is there still a problem and if so, where is it hanging up? -
I have made a website using iweb, as this will no longer be supported by apple, does that mean the gallery I have created on my website will no longer work even though I am hosting it with a different hosting provider. Will the other widgets no longer work?
There are a few things that won't work on other hosting sites; hit counters and pop-up slide shows for sure.
See http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No.iW11.html for more info, and/or the iWeb forum at https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iweb -
Presently running mac osx 10.5.8. Recent Firefox update says it no longer works with osx 10.5 and it's no longer supported by apple. Any suggestins?
Use an earlier version of Firefox, use Safari, or upgrade to a later version of OS X. Any Intel Mac can run Snow Leopard.
Latest version of Safari for Leopard: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1422

Itunes will not install. I get the error message "Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\com.apple.IE.client_main.dll Verify that you have access to that directory."
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -
Unbelieveable lack of support from Apple (error -50 issue)
Well I've just updated iTunes again and of course, I still have the -50 error trying to download the video I purchased over a month ago. That's at least 3 or 4 releases of the software and still no fix. And before somebody recommends that I do the things mentioned on this forum (like deleting the .tmp file and rebuilding your music), I've done all of those. Also, I purchased a ringtone the other day for my iPhone and it downloaded just fine SO THE ISSUE IS OBVIOUSLY RELATED TO iTunes and a large (over 2gig) video file and has nothing to do with my computer.
What really gets me is that I've posted more than once on this subject, along with other people, and have absolutely no support from Apple. Oh well, at least I have a $100 voucher I can use for something. Maybe I can get my $10 back for the video I paid for....
I also have a mac Mini so I really consider myself a good Apple customer. To bad they don't really seem to care....
Andrew McIntyreJust a thought,
have you tried deauthorising your account and reauthorising?
don't know if it would work but just trying to help -
Impeccable support from Apple...
Dear all,
I feel that I need to say this, in view of all the negative posts regarding support from Apple.
I am, admittedly, on my 4th MB. 1st's case was badly designed, and I returned it straight away as I had so many problems of the same ilk with my old PB. The next RSDd, but had great, if not perfect support from Apple, and came away with a perfect model, apart from its line out not working. I tour with my laptop, so this was retty much a killer for me. Now, here I am on my week 38 and am not having any problems at all.
While I know that some would consider a 4th replacement hard to bare, I have had wonderful support from the Regent Street store. They have been very accomodating and helpful, and most of all understanding. It seems that they take your situation in to account very seriously indeed, and I guess the only service I have had comparable to it is private banking. All of my cases have been reviewed individually, and I feel that they take all of them seriously, offering the best solutions they can.
I know that some have had bad experiences: the point of my post is not to gloat in any way at all, it is purely to say thanks to the staff who have been so helpful, and also to provide a very positive experience were anyone to do a search of these forums.
I do rely on Apple products for my profession, but in no way feel any affiliation with them for those reasons. I do feel very indebted to them, however, for providing great customer support and, whilst experiencing teething problems with their product, dealing with it in a very professional way indeed.
To those having difficulty, I wish the very best of luck, but I just wanted to add something that I feel is very positive to these forums which tend (of course, due to their nature) to be full of negative views.
All the best, FredApple no longer directly approves nor sponsors user groups. The coordination of user groups has been passed to a separate advisory board. You can find information and ask to be included in their listing here:

Can i install Windows 8.1 on a 27 inch, iMac late 2009 model? Is this supported by Apple?
Hello, before i start this endeavour is it supported by Apple to install Windows 81. on a late 2009 iMac 27 inch model? I get confused by all posts out there including on Apple's website. I'm happy to try it out but want to be sure that if i create a second partition for windows, my primary partion with MAC-OS does not get impacted in any way.
Thanks,

Someone who can say how to get Adpbe flash player version 11.2.202.197 to work together with Lion on mac mini. Support from Apple can obviously not help the problem and do not care if it works
Adobe flash player version 11.2.202.197 is for Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Vista 64 / Windows 7 64
Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.102.55 is the current version for Snow Leopard and Lion.

WPA/WPA2 Enterprise Support - Please Apple PLEASE!
I have been searching through this discussion board and I have found many discussions like this one.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1106197&tstart=0
People who complain of not being prompted for a Username and Password for WiFi access are complaining of lack of WPA/WPA2 Enterprise Support for Apple's iPhone. Many college campuses, major workplaces and public libraries use WPA/WPA2 Enterprise support, which prompt you for a Username AND Password.
Why doesn't Apple's iPhone support one of the most common WiFi protocal's in today's world?
If Apple doesn't implement WPA/WPA2 Enterprise support, many people are going to look for alternative ways to connecting to a WPA/WPA2 Enterprise WiFi network with their iPhones. Example: hacking their iPhone and using a risky 3rd party application.
I STRONGLY recommend to Apple to get on this as soon as possible...
Does anyone know if Apple is working on this currently?
Thank You!This is a user to user help forum only so no one here knows what Apple is working on.

Started to get pop ups when tried to open a video on face book. Directed for a download of MPlayerX-2.dmg and did attempt to install but never got video up/.
Error message also states to
To fix it please call Support for Apple +1 800-680-4131 (Toll Free) immediately! and also gives out a web site of http://mac-online-support.comYou may have installed the "Downlite" or "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the support article, you may also need to remove this item in the same way:
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This malware is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked. -
