NASA TV is Free - Why Is It Only Available as a Premium Channel in Houston?

I live in Houston - why isn't NASA TV including in the basic cable package here?  It should be available everywhere as part of the basic package, because it's free.

The question is why should there be legal issues when it's the iPad but not Mac or PC? I don't get the logic. Mac air book is an equally mobile device. What of android tablets? What about having it preinstalled in another market on iPad but subsequently return to South Africa? What is the real reason? Apple certainly should be the one to intervene on this.

  • Why is Siri only available to iPhone 4S

    I am tiring of Apple. Could someone explain to me why Siri is now only available on iPhone 4S other than trying to make us buy a newer model?

    Siri uses the Cloud to be used. so it doesn't store all of its answers or comments on your device which would be a considerable load.
    The idea that Apple would unlock this cloud based service ontop of icloud to the masses is something that doesn't make sense. I've already read that the siri servers were having issues connecting *but that was a puff piece underlining the overall strain to the servers siri is already producing* This is not to say that this is a common thing by any means and I've only heard from people I know, positive things about it and it's capabiliities.
    So my thought is, they will reward those who have gotten the faster processor which will send and recieve the information a little better, which will still be a huge amount of people but it won't be everyone. This is why I think Siri is being limited. 
    I hope that apple releases Siri to everyone as their cloud based computing grows. I even hope the macs get siri as it would create accessibility for everyone. But for now you will have to wait and see. or get the new iphone.

  • Why isn't iphone 5 available on the Irish site? And why is 4s only available with 8GB?

    I was searching for an iphone 5 on the Irish apple store and it doesn't seem to be for sale. I was also looking at the 4s and it only seems to be available with 8GB ,why is that also?

    An iPhone 4s with only 8GB is cheaper for Apple to manufacture. "The idea is to put some distance between the iPhone 4S and Apple's new 'budget' iPhone, the iPhone 5C." ...From this article:
    Remember the iPhone 4S? Apple makes it an 8GB freebie

  • Why is Siri only available for the iPhone 4s?

    I think Siri should of been available for iPad2 and iPod touch (4gen.) in the ios5 update. I mean if its just a personal assistant, why not?!

    I agree that Siri should be available for the iPad2 (which has the same A5 dual core processor) and the most current iTouch4.
    But that not withstanding. Is this the same Siri Assistant application that was a free app early last year 2010?  When I got my iPhone4 (last summer) it was one of the first apps I downloaded but I didn't know how to use it well and it got loss in the abyss of my iphone apps library.
    When I tried to use it again, it did not work, giving me a message "retrieval failed"  Siri could not download required info from server.  It is now longer available within the iTunes Store, probably since it was purchased and put in the new iPh4S as an exclusive.
    Can I do something to make the original Siri Assistant app work on my iPhone4.  It is too early for me to upgrade to a new 4S. 

  • IPod touch audio issue: why do I only get sound from one channel in my ear-pods?

    After upgrading my brand new iPod touch 5th generation to IOS 6.1.2 I only get sound from the right channel of my ear-pods.
    I did not have this issue with IOS 6.1.1. Is this a problem derived from new IOS? Any idea on how to solve it?
    Appreciate your help!

    Have you tried other headphones? If you confirmned it is an iPod problem:
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
    iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
    Replace the jack yourself

    Applications are mentioned free, but when we start downloading one dollar is charged in my credit card, but only for the first time when i switch on and use it for the first time one dollar is charged. and from next application it is free. why?

    Kindly inform any email id or toll free number to contact apple for your below answer, Mr.King_Penguin
    About receiving my credit card being debited for Free App Store Application downloads,
    It should be within a few days, but it might vary a bit by bank/provider :
    I am in India, if the bank don't refunds , what to do?
    Rajagopal.pngr :-  It is only a holding charge, it is not a permanent charge. If it isn't refunded within a few days or so (and it quite possibly won't be over a weekend) then you can query the charge with Apple.

  • Apple PLEASE Read This!  When using Grab, why does Saving only allow ONE Format...Tiff?

    It would be nice for Apple's Grab program to offer multiple formats for saving.  I understand why they offer only Tiff but when I have a problem and I need to grab part of the screen or even the whole window, most Discussions require jpg or png formats.  It takes too much time to save in Tiff, go to the save file location and open the file using Preview, and then saving the file in another format that I need for my own purpose.  WHAT A WASTE OF MY TIME!
    I could use the Print option and first I may need to use Scale  to fit the image on one sheet in stead of 4-6 pages (can be 25% scale for a one page screen save), and then open the PDF drop down button, choose "Open PDF in Preview", preview the image, and if it looks ok, I save as a PDF file.  I could then open the PDF file in Preview and save the image in another format depending on my need.  WHAT A WASTE OF MY TIME!
    I am surprised that, in a Search of the forums, no one has brought this up.
    Apple save us a bunch of time and give us other save formats!  PLEASE!
    Others please chime in and maybe Apple will get the message.
    Remember, "The squeaky wheel, gets the grease"

    Keep in mind that many (if not most) non-techies will never memorize (let alone use) a 3-key sequence when they have a handy-dandy utility that makes so much sense to them.  Grab does fill a very useful gap for the vast majority of Mac users - why make it so unfriendly in this regard?
    Wow, you should re-think that one. I think the opposite to be true.
    And, if you use a free 3rd party app, i.e. TinkerTool, you can not only change the file format for screen capture, but also the default location for the files.
    I think that most people think of Grab as dinosaur software.

    Firefox allows to select part of a word. You can select a word with a double click and use Shift + left click to set the end of the selection, so you need to click at the end of the last word instead of in it.

  • Why can I only sync my iPhone on one computer???

    I was just wondering why I can only sync music onto my iPhone from one computer?? and not multiple like you can with the iPods?? I'm getting really frustrated because i have music on my home computer and 2 other laptops!

    I am unsure on how I interpret the rule wrong, but here is a copy of the actual rule which I made a link to in my previous post.
    Found under, http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/au/terms.html#SERVICE, 10. Purchase or Rental of iTunes Content, Usage Rule (iii).
    "(iii) Your license of Products as authorised hereunder permits you to use the Products on five iTunes-authorised devices at any time, except in the case of Movie Rentals, as described below."
    Also under, http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/au/terms.html#APPS, 9. USE OF PRODUCTS AND THE SERVICE, Usage rule (iii).
    "(iii) You shall be able to store Products on five iTunes-authorized devices at any time."
    When I read this, I understand it that the word Products refers to content on iTunes. But it could possibly interpreted differently.
