Is anyone else significantly disappointed with Apple TV?

I bought it on the basis that I could stream TV from my iPad - various 'on demand' services in the UK allow you to watch it on your ipad but don't allow it to be broadcast to another device. Whilst I appreciate that suppliers of 'on demand' services could allow 'mirroring' I am significantly disappointed with Apple because they know that they only provide mirroring of Apple products (this is far from clear on any of the product descriptions), but most significantly they do not provide equivalent Applications for the Apple TV (probably because they only way that anyone can watch those programmes is to buy them through the Apple store!).

That is incorrect, mirroring is available for all content. It is the developers of said apps that can choose to block it (there are only a few who have though).
Basic airplay is different as it is strictly for audio/video streams, but the developer has to enable the video for it to pass through.
The blockage can be due to licensing but you would have to contact those providers for an official answer.
Native apps require an agreement from both parties, there could be any number of reasons for them not being available.
In any case, ranting is not permitted here. If you have a technical issue that needs assistance then someone can help with that.

HT3702 has anyone else had promblems with apple itunes debiting your account unauthorized!

Has anyone else had problems with apple itunes debiting your account unauthorized!

I have also experienced this. I've downloaded the 'No Surprises' ringtone by Radiohead three times and every time I get charged for the ringtone by iTunes and every time it disappears after a while. This is really strange... I haven't talked to anyone at Apple about this, but I checked these forums out just now and, it seems, I'm not the only one with this problem.
I'm using my brand new iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.1.1 and I'm thinking it's a software-related problem too...

Is anyone else experiencing issues with Apple TV / iTunes streaming

Hi all,
Until Friday my Apple TV instantly and beautifully streamed all my HD purchases and rentals (new and from my iCloud). Since yesterday afternoon, it's taking aaaaaaaages to download. I also have a recent purchase not showing in my iTunes despite showing as pushased when I visit the item in the store (if that makes sense)? Is there iTunes store maintenance going on? NB: Router has been re-booted and I can stream fine via other sources on my Macbook so it's not the ole interwebs speed / connection.
Thanks in advance for any help

Anyone else having issues with location services since the 7.1 update? Ever since I updated i've been seeing the location services on my status bar at all times.

Anyone else having issues with location services since the 7.1 update? Ever since I updated i’ve been seeing the location services icon on my status bar at all times. I noticed that google was the app that was using it a lot, but after I turned the feature off for google my phone started using the “traffic”, “frequent locations” and “cell network search”. When I turn the feature off for all of those things it’s no longer a problem. So just wondering if anyone else is having this issue or if anyone has a solution?

The "solution" is probably to increase your knowledge. You've done good things. Perhaps this article will educate you a bit more about location services.
Basically, they can be very useful, but can cause a lot of iPhone use. A major example is "Remind me to ... when I leave home."

Is Anyone Else Having Problems With 10.6.1 Freezing?

Is anyone else having problems with iTunes 10.6.1 freezing? On a perfectly-maintained Windows PC, 10.6.1 is suddenly freezing for no reason. This means that my iPhone or iPad can't be synchronized.

From my experience, involving three hours of troubleshooting using Apple's tutorials, without help from Apple:
1. Do the steps here to remove and reinstall all Apple software on your machine, "Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP," at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925.
2. If you care, they don't tell you or ask you to uninstall MobileMe in those steps.
3. After I did as they wrote to do, iTunes wouldn't recognize either my iPhone or iPad. On my own I found that Applie's software reinstallation failed to install the Apple Mobile Device Software Driver. So I followed the steps at, "iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows," which took me 25 minutes alone to find. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Those steps solved everything and iTunes is now back to normal.

TS1702 Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook update? I updated it yesterday and now it won't open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but it still fails to open! Any suggestions?

Is anyone else having issues with the most recent Facebook app update? I updated it on my iPad 2 yesterday, now it will not open app at all. I have restarted iPad, uninstalled app and reinstalled, several times and still it will not work! Any suggestions? I have also closed the append still no results!

I just started having this yesterday. It's only happened twice, but it's annoying. My wife texted me that she was coming home last night, and it showed up immediately on my iPod Touch but not my iPhone. I opened my iPhone and it soon updated. Worked fine after that. Then just a moment ago today my wife texted me and the same thing happened. I heard my iMac and iPod Touch receive the message but it didn't display on my phone until I opened the phone and it showed up again a little bit thereafter. I suppose I'll send Apple some feedback on this issue.

Is anyone else having trouble with the Up To Date Program?

I bought a brand new Macbook Pro with Retina Display from the Apple Online Store, on June 15. Last week when Mountain Lion was released, I attempted to obtain a OX upgrade code throught the Up-To-Date Program. Then...the unthinkable happene! I got rejected by Apple. I first sent in my Acknowledgment of Order to prove my purchase, part of the Up-To-Date Program. I was rejected because Apple found the claim wasn't supported.
SO!!
I resubmitted with my Acknowledgment of Order, "Thank You" document from Apple when I purchased the Macbook, shipping detail I received from UPS when they delivered it to me (apparently Apple wants prove that the product was shipped), the notification of purchase, and the notification of shipping. With so many support documents, I still got rejected hours later.
I AM AT LOSS! What exactly is Apple looking for! It's clear that I purchased the product. I have the documents submitted. I logged in my Apple account and found out my Macbook Pro IS REGISTERED under my name. I even phoned customer support, and the guy over the phone even said, "I see you bought and registered the Retina display model." when I inquired about my claim. So CLEARLY, they KNOW I purchased the Macbook.
Okay. I have the documents. I got rejected twice. The email from Apple the second time left me an address to send an inquiry.
I sent an inqury with ABSOUTELY EVERYTHING (invoice, notifications, etc). That was three days ago. I received NO reply.
Let's recount. Apple knows that I purchased the Retina Display model. I've sent in multiple documents which are only received if one actually purchase their products. They rejected the validation of my purchase outright in addition to the lack of reply and service. The conclusion that I've reached is that Apple doesn't want to give out Mountain Lion codes. Needless to say, I got "appled".
I searched on the forums, and some people who obtained codes from the Up to Date Program claimed that their codes don't work. Is anyone else getting duped by Apple or "appled"??

There have been some ongoing discussions about this problem that some are having - see the "More Like This" to the right.

Anyone else having problems with popups since the new security upgrade? can't get rid of them

anyone else having problems with popups since the new security upgrade? can't get rid of them

You may have inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it. It ought not to be related to any Apple security update.
For a description of how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for Apple's recommended actions read How to install adware. Apple's instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.

Anyone else having trouble with their iPad disconnecting from wifi since 6.0.1 update

Anyone else having trouble with their iPad dropping wifi about once a week since 6.0.1 update?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Anyone else having trouble with Fed-ex?

hi, my apple email said i will recive my ipod on the 1st,(shiped one the 27th) then 2 days later fed-ex said the 4th, then day later fed-ex said the 8th, its begining to make me mad. anyone else having probablems with fed-ex?

Yes, apple's original ship date was the 28th with a delivery date of oct 2-3. It apparently shipped on the 29th but shortly after I got an email from apple saying that my delivery date had been changed to the 8th. Dont think a one day delay in shipment should result in a 6 day delay in delivery but i dunno

Is anyone else having issues with Aperture 3 since downloading Lion?

Hi All,
Is anyone else having issues with Aperture 3 after downloading the Lion update? Aperture 3 is running so ssssslllloooowwww !!! I am a sports photographer who needs this to run the way it used to with Snow Leopard. Any suggestions?????
Thanks,
George

It was one of the many issues I had when I was running Lion. I watched the beach balls and the very, very slow rendering of image edits and restored back to my SL clone immediately. It was looking like Aperture 2 and my sanity just couldn't take that again.
I have to assume that Apple must have tested Lion with Aperture 3, but you wouldn't know it from how it behaved on my system.

Iphone 6 screen scratches very easily, just by normal use. Anyone else? What is Apple doing about it! It shouldn't be like that, it is way more fragile than Iphone 5 and 5S screeens!

Does anyone else have problems with iTunes 10.3.1 BETA?, Does anyone else have problems with iTunes 10.3.1 BETA?

Installed iTunes 10.3.1 on Mac and then all tunes vanished from my iPhone 4. I hooked the phone to the Mac and Synced them together and everything returned to iPhone. Next morning the problem was back. I had to delete iTunes and reinstall an older version from my Time Machine backup. It now appears to be working. Has anyone else had problems with this?

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes for Mac forums.
BTW, iTunes 10.3.1 is not a beta release. Only the iTunes in the Cloud service is beta.
Regards.

I'm so disappointed with Apple!Apple owe me $100!

I've purchased an Apple computer two years ago, I liked Apple so much because I saw they care their customers more than Microsoft, Apple even set Genius Bar and phone support for any technical problem, which I though if I have any problems, I can find customer services easily. So, when thepeople who worked in Apple asked me if I wanted to purchase a printer in promotion with my iBookG4, which was free after I mail my rebate, I purchased it as they told.
However, the problem came! I've waited for my rebate for half year, which was supposed to be three months. Therefore, I called apple for the promotion inquiry, they told me to mail my information again, and so I did. And I waited for another three months, they told me they mailed it to me already, but I never received it. Therefore, I do as they told- wait for another month and they'll mail my rebate to me again. Then, another month came, but I did not received my rebate! And during this two years, I kept calling for my rebate, and they said they will mail it to me, but I never ever received it! I felt like I got deceived! And last time I called, they told me the promotion is closed, but they'll still mail it to me. But again! they didn't! I tried to find anyone who can help me, I went to the retail store, I mail to a costomer service line, but they never ever helped me! My rebate was just a $100 dollar, but seems like Apple is not responsible and do not care about their customers, therefore, I told this to all my friends, and recommend them not to buy Apple.
Apple owe me $100!
My friend told me that Apple is not being responsible, they are lying to me that they mailed my rebate to me. It is because they should first file a lost track on the check that should be mail to me, and then mail my rebate back to me after they file it!
I am so disappointed with Apple, and I'll recommend me and my friends, and try to declare to all the forums we should never purchase anything from Apple because they are not responsible for their costumers!
I'll never stop declaring to the people that Apple is being not responsible until Apple is being responsible and would give me my rebate back!

This is, of course, the wrong place for your gripe. There is nothing we can do about it. There is a legal presumption that a letter mailed is received, but it is rebuttable. Letters can get lost or extremely delayed, I had a postcard take six months from Denver to New York City. Go to Apple and insist that that you never got your check. What really counts is was it cashed. Insist that they check that.

Is anyone else significantly disappointed with Apple TV?
