Pages Templates - Why doesn't Apple include CD covers and CD labels?

Considering how music oriented Apple is, I'm surprised that Apple hasn't thought of including templates for CD covers and CD labels. This would be exceedingly useful to have!

iTunes itself can print a CD insert with song titles and time. Labels on CDs, in the long run, aren't a good idea. In a slot loading drive they are a disaster waiting to happen and even with a tray loading drive they can cause trouble; over time the glue dries out and the label can begin to peel. If you really want CDs and DVDs labeled, look to LightScribe or printable discs and a printer capable of printing on them. As for CD covers (and other kinds of labels) Avery has a free program that is pretty impressive. Of course, you can always go to the Avery web site and find a Word template which will open right up in Pages and you can have at it.

Why doesn't Apple include all iTunes extras with bundle purchases?

I have noticed this before but now I am wondering: Why doesn't Apple include all iTunes extras with bundle purchases?
I am currently looking at the Buddy Comedy Pack. On this page they say that the following movies have iTunes Extras:
21 Jump Street, 22 Jump Street, and Step Brothers.
As you scroll down the page it says that if you purchase this bundle, you also receive:
iTunes Extras for: 21 Jump Street, Step Brothers, and The Other Guys
A) Why not include 22 Jump Street's extras with this bundle?
B) The Other Guy's does not have an iTunes extra unless bought through this bundle! (What the heck?!)
Thanks for your help!

HT202157 Why doesn't Apple add Sirius xm and Amazon prime?

Why doesn't Apple expand Apple TV options?

likely because both are their compatitions and I doubt they really make money on selling appletv's but make up for it when people who buy appletv's use them to buy stuff from itunes store rather then their compatition
anyway these forums are user helping users so nobody knows for sure and apple will not get your advice here as they dont read the forums so if you want to pass on your words of wisdom use the feedback channels its the way to apples ear

Why doesn't Apple include server.app with upgrade?

I Received my "free" upgrade for my mac mini server only to realize (after completing the upgrade) that my Lion Server had been DOWNGRADED to a Mountain Lion workstation.
Apple support informed me that the server app was not included in the free upgrade. I feel that they should have at least informed me that I would have to purchase additional software after the "free" upgrade in order to mantain the funcutionality of my server. I had no need to upgrade, the existing software on my server provided everything I needed and worked flawlessly. Now I have the choice of reverting the server back to the old OS and hopefully getting everything working as it was, or pay the $20 ransome and get the server app for Mountain Lion.

My guess is that you clicked the wrong blue button. There were two when I went out to the Up To Date page. One said Mountian Lion, the other said OS X Server. If you had clicked the Server button you would have recieved four emails, the two for Mountian Lion and two more for server. I got my codes this afternoon. Email customer service and tell them what happened. They will probably send you out the extra code and password.

Why doesn't apple's safari support asp on internet pages?

I wonder why doesn't apple's safari support asp?
I am a new mac osx lion user for 6 six months. I'm not a computer speciallist but I know asp is widely used in the world since long time. this prevents me entering data and creating reports on many governmental, commercial and social internet sites. I'm realy fed up with that.
there may be some technical and stability issues but this prevents mac osx lion users from doing their work. Apple has to listen us. we want asp.

Maintaining Macs--Why doesn't Apple tell you more?

This is not a problem that I need to solve but just something I've been wondering about. Why doesn't Apple tell people the routines they need to use to maintain their Macs?
If you do a search on "maintenance" in Support the fourth item is Mac Maintenance Quick Assist:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303602
The things they tell you to do are:
1) Keep Things Up to Date; 2) Put Your Files Away; 3) Name Your Files; 4) Prune Through Your Files; 5) Back Up Your Files; 6) Check for Viruses; 7) Clean the Outside
Where is anything about running the maintenance scripts, checking permissions, checking your preferences, updating the databases, cleaning caches, or anything else that software programs like Onyx, Cocktail, etc make their purpose? Why don't they mention getting a program like Disc Warrior and running it periodically?
The first item on their list is Keep Things Up to Date, meaning download system and application updates. Well after looking at these forums for a while I would have to say that is the worst thing you could do, as so many posts start, " Help! I updated my software and now things don't work...." Even if you look at this article about updating your software...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106704
...nowhere does it mention repairing your permissions! Yet everywhere on this forum that is mentioned as one of the first things to do...unfortunately AFTER people are crazy with problems.
I don't get it. Even in the manuals that come with the computers none of this stuff is mentioned (last time I looked) except in the troubleshooting section. Would you buy a car where the owner's manual had "change the oil regularly" listed in a section on what to do after you've blown your engine?
Granted, a lot of people on this forum know all these things and do them regularly, but I have several friends with Macs who never do any regular maintenance because they've never been told to. One just called me last week because his iMac auto-updated and he had all sorts of problems.
So why is this? Why isn't basic Mac maintenance explained to people better? Going back to the car analogy, people have been taught they have to give their cars tune-ups or face an eventual breakdown. Why not with Macs?
I have been using Macs for years and enjoy looking into this geeky stuff. And I rarely have any serious problems. I would think it has a lot to do with the fact that I don't automatically update without checking MacFixit first and seeing what problems people are having and running a few simple maintenance routines periodically, plus backing up for good measure. Why isn't Apple more upfront with people about maintaining their Macs? Am I off-base here?
ibook G3, imac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I'll provide you with several references you will find interesting reading:
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060413075624652
http://www.macworld.com/2006/08/secrets/repairpermissions/index.php
http://www.macworld.com/2006/03/secrets/tcopermissions/index.php
http://www.atomicbird.com/node/view/29
The document to which you referred is an old one that dates back a ways when permissions repairs were often still needed because many installers improperly changed permissions or caused permissions to change through other improper operations. In reality the only thing permissions repair affects are the permissions on OS X installed software for which there are receipts in the /Library/Receipts/ folder and third-party software that install a receipt that includes information on resetting permissions for that software. The vast majority of third-party applications provide no such information and repairing permissions has no impact on them.
As for maintenance scripts they are now supposed to be run automatically regardless of whether the computer is turned on in the early AM, but this is an implementation with Tiger because Tiger introduced a new method of task launching. It's not 100 percent effective but it's better than it was. However, it's an easy problem to solve because there are some excellent utilities that solve the problem: Macaroni, Anacron, and Pseudo Anacron - VersionTracker or MacUpdate. I use Macaroni on all my Macs.
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.0 is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.2 is Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. The current version, 1.5.1, is Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at www.versiontracker.com and www.macupdate.com.
I know that Joe Average has no clue, but it's not Apple's responsibility to provide Joe Average with clues on how to use a computer. No more than it's not GM's responsibility to teach you how be an automotive mechanic or how to drive. Some things you have to take responsibility for yourself. It's just that Joe Average is too lazy to read the User Guide, buy a book, or in any other way learn about computers before buying one.
As you can tell I am somewhat heavy handed about personal responsibility. Computers are essentially toys that aren't dangerous, but the person playing with them is. What really scares the crap out of me is that same Joe Average has a driver's license and may be old enough to drink liquor. When it comes to driving or drinking and driving Joe Average is no more competent.

Why doesn't Apple list the changes in iPhone updates?

Why doesn't Apple list the changes included with each iteration of iPhone updates? They always post a detailed list of changes for all other major software updates. I wonder why the same is not true for the iPhone, leaving us all guessing and wondering...

Just to add, Ansuz82 pointed out, Apple's track record is that they don't really ever give full published details about what their updates include in any of their products really. If the iPhone is your first product by Apple you may not be aware of this. To them, saying Bug Fixes is enough. If they publicly add more info, it means they really wanted to get that point out. eg: the 1.1.1 mainly just talked about iTunes WiFi store. 1.1.2 mainly talked about the Tiff exploit fixed and keyboard updates for languages. However, with all, a lot more does get changed than just the key points mentioned. And by a lot, I don't mean a lot that you will see. Have to remember, they are still ironing out the OS for the iPhone. A lot of changes to them is just cleaning up and fixing known bugs that many of us as users may not even know exisit (though we see the outcome of them when apps colide and crash each other).

Why doesn't apple tv show song info while using pandora with AirPlay?

Why doesn't apple tv show song info while using pandora with AirPlay?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I'm not really familiar with Pandora but I assume it's an audio app and the app places text on screen to inform you of the current track playing.
As an audio app, it seems to make sense it will stream audio over AirPlay, which doesn't include text of course. For that matter the text is also unlikely to be a video stream either, just to cover the possibility you ask why can't they stream it over AirPlay as video.

Why doesn't apple allow Adobe Flash Player to be downloaded ?

Why doesn't apple support and allow downloading of Adobe Flash Player?

Because there is no version available from Adobe that works on any iOS device.

Why doesn't apple tv appear when playing video in safari?

Hi Guys:
     I just bought an apple tv. I am able to use the mirroring function with no problem, and I can see the apple tv in the "Airplay" menu.
     But When i play a video in safari(mirroring turned off), I can not see my apple TV in the "AirPlay" menu.
      So my question is : why doesn't apple tv appear when playing video in safari?
Does the same thing happen to you guys??
btw, I just dont want to mirroring when play a video in safari, that's why i'm asking this question
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

Experiencing the same issue. Everything used to just work. I'm up to date on *everything* and it's all apple devices (airport extreme, appletv, 2 macbook pro lion, iphone4s, ipad).
My gut says it's the AppleTV since it happens from both laptops that have itunes.
Let me know if you find a fix.

Why doesn't apple have a file of events that ties to the iCal program and the Address book file? By having that relationship it seems that you could call up all of the events tied to a customer while in the address book or likewise call up all of the events tied to a contact that was in the iCal program as a scheduled meeting. Even in the to do's you could easily look back at the events tied to an individual so as to bring yourself up to speed with what you were doing with the individual in mind.

I definitely understand your concern and I apologize for all the frustration. Verizon Wireless has a strong customer commitment to delivering the best from our service and staff. I am disappointed to hear the service you received did not reflect this commitment.
I definitely want to help get to the bottom of this and further assist you. Please reply to my direct message so I can access your account and further assist. I am sure we can get this resolved.

Hi godavina,
Need a little more info here. You are trying to switch back into the British store? Are you living there now? If not, can you tell us where you are and what you are trying to do?
Thanks,

TS2846 Why doesn't apple provide Model info designated for specific country or carrier?

Why doesn't Apple just reveal the model numbers so the consumers know which carrier the iPhone was originally locked to? Instead of having consumers running around to ask multiple carriers in different countries to find out which country or carrier it was locked to begin with.

They are good inputs and they do make sense, it's just there are other forum saying differently as well.
http://gfgsm.blogspot.com/2010/11/iphone-carrier-list-model-numbers.html
or
http://www.gsmreloaded.com/f81/iphone-3g-3gs-model-numbers-country-carrier-13076 .html
Just to name a few.
Although they are not Apple affiliated but few hundreds is still not a big number and if there are lists then that would be helpful.
Just a shot in the dark and wonder if I can get more info out from others.
Thank you all.

HT202447 Why doesn't Apple patch Leopard, 10.5, other than to say "disable Java"?

Why doesn't Apple discuss what it is going to do with 10.5 (Leopard) other than to say "disable Java?" Why doesnt Apple support its product, i.e., computers running 10.5 still COVERED UNDER APPLE CARE? Why must we disable Java and wait (and pay) for a Leoparad to Snow Leopard upgrade disk to arrive by SnailMail? Apple support your products especially when we own over $15,000 of your products. I used to be your biggest fan, suggesting to everyone who would listen that they should "switch over." Why are you ignoring us, still covered by Apple Care????????????

Why doesn't Cloud include audiobooks?

I can use Cloud to transfer/download music, iBooks, videos and apps... but not audiobooks... I don't understand why it isn't included? I'm stretched between three computers and I don't always purchase the audiobook from the same one, but I can't upload it to my phone/iPod except through one computer. If Cloud is supposed to fix that issue, why doesn't it include audiobooks?

Perhaps because the copyright owners won't allow it. Really, though, no one on this board can answer that question with certainly because we are all just users like yourself.
