NOTIFYING APPLE ABOUT THE MANY PROBLEMS OF ITUNES

I have gone back and read all the posts that sounded similar to my problem with copying a playlist to a CD via iTunes and not having them record. And I'd also like to know where the file extension .m4a came from. Sounds like a lot of problems with the new 8.0 iTunes out there. How do we let Apple know of this? Do they every read these posts? Thanks for any help.

I'd also like to know where the file extension .m4a came from.
The .m4a extension is the standard extension for MPEG-4 audio as defined by the standards committee.

  • Just called Apple about the signal problem

    I was on the phone for about an hour, mainly on hold. The first rep was very nice, and told me she was trying to get her supervisor on the line and that they were busy due to high call volume. Her and her supervisor both asked me if I had restored my phone or hard reset it, which I have not. (Has anyone else done this? If so what were your results?)
    Supervisor submitted a ticket to the engineers and said he would contact me tomorrow. He sent me an email with his contact information.
    Part of the email:
    Armand,
    Here is my contact information. My direct line is listed at the bottom of this message. You may call or email me regarding this issue. I have passed this on to our engineering and will follow up with you on their response.
    Sincerely,
    David **

    I reset the network settings and reception has been fine since yesterday.

  • Public request to Apple about the WiFi mess

    As a faithful Apple user I am deeply disappointed by the lack of response by Apple about the wifi problems many users (including myself) are experiencing. What makes the whole issue worse is the lack of a public statement by the company over this mess: calling the support doesn't take us anywhere as we are treated like idiots who can't use the device - "Are you sure your router is working properly?" - "Try with another wifi" - ""Have you tried to reinstall the Os"....
    It's time Apple publicly acknowledges the problem and offer some sort of solution as more and more users (including myself) are swiftly thinking about switching to a more reliable company. It's very sad to witness the downfall of a good company like Apple who is basically refusing to acknowledge this problem. Leaving things in the dark won't help the reputation of the company, quite the opposite!
    If it is not a hardware issue, as it maya well be, let us downgrade to a previous version of the iOS and check if it works.
    I am on the verge of loosing my patience and frustration is building up too quickly. I have strong doubts I will be buying Apple's products in the future.

    WiFi problems have been around as long as there have been WiFi devices on all hardware. Go to support sites for any mobile device and you will see WiFi issues so buying other products may not solve your issue.
    It may indeed be a hardware issue that became evident on your iPhone during the upgrade. Have you had your iPhone checked?
    Apple rarely announces what they are doing with issues like this. With WiFi they might as well issue a blanket statement that they are constantly working on it (and they are). Go here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html and enter detailed information about your issues and have your phone checked out.

  • Mavericks; is Apple never going to do something about its many problems? I've about had it with Mac.

    Mavericks:
    Is Apple never going to do something about Mavericks many problems? I've about had it with Mac and when today's Mavericks update appeared, I declined.
    I updated to Mavericks 6 months ago on my new Macbook Pro and have had nothing but trouble ever since -- despite numerous trips to the Genius Bar. They all act as though It's only my machine yet I'm reading literally hundreds of similar complaints on the Internet. To start:
    1) My machine now "runs" very slow (as in 1980).
    2) Search and Spotlight yield jumbled information.
    3) MAIL and CCONTACTS are near useless with a spinning beachball the norm.
    My Apple store had my machine for 5 days with no loaner! They did a manual rebuild and shrugged their sholders when it still didn't work after all that.
    I have the distinct impression that Time Machine is at the bottom of some of my problems. I've used it to migrate data from my last three machines and I'm seeing some odd stuff from my other machines. In particular, I used an exact Macbook Pro loaned by a client after my last Mac crashed (I was backed up) and I'm seeing their grayed out login ID autoentered when I try to update Imovie and so I cannot log into my apple account.
    I've used Mac since 1995 when the first SE came out and I'm very tech oriented. I can only wonder how frustrated the lay used might be. Any thoughts out there? 

    Supply information about your Mac (guessing is no use)

  • Giving feedback to Apple about these iChat problems...

    Without making a huge fuss and starting a flame war or anything - I've sent some comments back to Apple about this AV problem that a lot of us have experienced since 10.4.4.
    I suggest that if you're having problems with it too and getting nowehere, send some comments back - it certainly can't harm the situation and someone might pick up on it, hopefully.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ichat.html

    To tackle the iPhone feedback question: It is very hard to be able to tell what they do and do not take into account. I am sure that at least some of the feedback is looked at and considered but to what degree I for one do not know. I would hope it isn't there as a mirage to let us get our steam out, but when sent it doesn't get received. Again I think at least some of it gets noticed.
    The 1.1.2 update was significant in securing a TIFF exploitation that was overlooked before. The international keyboard helped some people here but I don't think it was significant. It also brought back the ability to add ones own ringtones to the iPhone which is a plus.
    As far as extra features Apple is secretive on this just like they are on when an update will come out. Until released no ones knows what it will entail, except the announcement of the iTunes store on iPhones. The SDK is going to solve a lot of things that are missing, I honestly believe it will be a significant step in iPhone development. http://developer.apple.com/iphone/devcenter/thirdpartyapps.php

  • When will there be a fix for the permissions problem in iTunes 11.1.1? I get a list of three or four-hundred when I run the repair program.

    Likely someone does but Apple has not stated if/wehn.

    Then don't use the repair program unless you are actually having an issue.

  • Music, Photos, Videos... I can't sync anything for iPhone 4. When will Apple release the new version of iTunes?

    I tried every methods up online trying to sync the music, photo, and videos. Nothing is working right now ever since I updated my ios to 7.
    This is happening to most of people who owns iPhone 4, 4S, and 5. Does anyone know when will Apple release the new version of iTunes which will fix the sync problem?
    What's the point of having a smartphone when you can't sync anything?

Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!

    Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
    If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
    Backup everything up as quickly as possible.

  • How many problems with iTunes?

    I posted a question regarding iTunes 8.1.1 about 5 hours ago. Having just checked for any replies, I was a bit taken aback to find that during those 5 hours, there have been so many new questions posted, I am tucked away on page 3 - no wonder I don't have any replies! Makes you wonder whether Apple must be questioning the benefit of 8.1.1 - I know I am...

    It could be that no one else is having the same problem and therefor, no one has any knowledge or suggestions to share. Sorry not to have more.
    Along these lines, 5 hours isn't a huge amount of time. Don't forget that the people responding on these forums are just other users like you, not Apple employees.
    You asked your question on the itunes forum, so you have to wait for somebody to happen along with the same model phone as you, with the same problem (and a solution!) with the same version of itunes. With a question involving a specific item of hardware that involves a diverse use piece of software like itunes my inclination would be to post the question on the hardware forum where it will get the attention of other iphone users. On the itunes forum your question may get lost among all the other questions about itunes that have nothing to do with the new version, or iphones.

  • Last ditch question about The older version of iTunes cannot be removed...

    I've spent two weeks trying to upgrade iTunes. The error is always the same: "The older version of iTunes cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group." I went through every step in the detailed documents on the Apple Web site except one: I don't have a clue what to turn off with MSConfig. I have also used the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and have manually deleted all references to Apple, iTunes, and iPod in the Registry. All these things have been done not once or twice but at least half a dozen times.
    I also spoke with Apple. They walked me through the same processes that I had already tried many times, then said that this particular error means there is a problem with the Windows Registry.
    My questions are:
    1. In general, does anyone have a clue how to solve this problem other than the steps I have tried repeatedly?
    2. Does anyone have a complete list of the items iTunes adds to the Registry? Perhaps there is an item that does not include the words Apple, iTunes or iPod.
    3. Can anyone suggest likely culprits that I should turn off in MSConfig?
    Thanks for any and all suggestions.

    3. Can anyone suggest likely culprits that I should turn off in MSConfig?
    the first thing to try with MSCONFIG is turning off everything except for essential Microsft services and the itunes/quicktime background processes. the following document contains a good set of detailed instructions on that:

  • Many Problems with iTunes

    Recently, I have purchased a new external DVD / CD burner to replace my faulty one in my Dell Laptop. After updating to the latest version of itunes, I have encountered many problems.
    1 - I cannot burn a CD. Whenever i create a playlist and attempt a burn, it will read the playlist, start to initialize, then the hazard sign in the top right corner closes, the disc ejects, and it says "An Unknown Error Has Occured (2122)" This happens on every attempt, both trying to burn purchased music or music i've already imported onto itunes.
    2 - I cannot import a CD or play a CD. When I put a CD into my drive, itunes will recognize it and go get the track names, but then when i try to play the tracks, it just skips down the list one by one, and no audio comes out. When trying to import songs, it'll import then rapidly (one after another, obvious that it didn't work) and then they have no length in my Library.
    Ran CD Diagnostics, here's what came out:
    Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)

    hi Charlie!

    hmmm. some people have been reporting success with the 2122/2212s when they change their Windows autoplay settings:
    MD329, "CD Burn (Error 2122)" #30, 07:58am Oct 18, 2005 CDT
    there are some hints that reducing burn speed might be helpful in some cases too (MD329 has been busy on our behalf with these errors):
    MD329, "Error 2212" #21, 11:37pm Oct 8, 2005 CDT
    ... and i've seen one report with the related 2123 that changing types of media might be helpful:

  • I spoke with Apple about the battery and they said...

    it might be a software issue to where something is not installed properly in the backend in which im hoping. I talked to them for a good 20mins in regards to what alot of us are experiencing about the battery life not being what its supposed to. he said they've gotten a good amount of calls this week about the iPhone not holding its battery charge throughout the day. I asked what can i do on my end to try to fix this problem. he said to backup and restore your iPhone like you just bought it to reinstall the software.
    plug in to iTunes -- backup iPhone -- restore -- when "set up or backup" screen comes on, unplug. keep notice of the battery to see how its going. if its still dropping noticably then its a battery problem, if not then it should be working as normal. i might have to drive 2hrs to get a new iPhone if this doesnt help but hopefully this will help some?

    Some clearly have faulty batteries.
    hopefully Apple puts out a new update quick.
