why doesnt apple let iphone 4 be compatable for the ios 8 update this fall?

For the the same reason iOS 8 won't support the iPhone 3GS and 3G. Because the iPhone 4 is obsolete.
Look at the models of iPhone Apple currently sell: iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 4s. No iPhone 4, it was dropped from the lineup when the 5s, 5c and iOS 7 were released. Hence iOS 7 was the last version that would run on the iPhone 4. The iPhone 4s replaced the iPhone 4 as the entry-level iPhone. Exactly the same thing will happen this Fall when the iPhone is released, the iPhone 4s will be dropped from the lineup because it is obsolete and iOS 8 will be the final version of iOS for that model. Presumably the iPhone 5c will then drop down to become the new entry level model, and it will be dropped the following year when iOS 9 is released.
New versions of software like iOS typically require faster processors, more RAM and other things to support the newer features, eventually it becomes impossible/uneconomic for Apple to keep older, slower hardware in the lineup so it is dropped and support for the latest OS versions on it ceases. So far this has happened on a very predictable schedule with the iPhone.

    My ipod was fine until i tried to play a song it froze then went black and it wont turn on or charge.

    Hello starlight2190,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Have you tried a simple reset of the iPod yet? To do this, toggle the hold switch on and off, then press and hold the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together until the Apple logo appears. If it doesn't work the first time keep trying.
    Otherwise, if still no response, you may have to wait for the iPod's battery to fully drain. Once it has, let it charge long enough to power on and once it has, go ahead and restore it via iTunes.

  • Here's a challenge please read and help.......

    I work for a company of a 1000 people and the owners bought everyone an ipod.
    the problem is that my boss wants me to record each persons serial number to their ipod and print it out for his records.
    i know that the serial number is on the back of the unit but that would take to long.
    I also know that when its plugged into the ipod updater program the serial number also shows.
    I would like to know if someone can build me a script that would grab the serial number to each ipod i plug in to the updater (maybe bash script, grab from string) copy it to the clip board and paste it to a text edit document. ohh and also a dialog box so i can write the persons name down. and if that can be added to the document as well.
    Sincerely
    an over worked employee.

    If you still have the boxes handy, check to see if the S/N is printed on with a barcode. If so you can just zap those all in with a reader and be done with it in minutes.
    Otherwise, to fish that string out of Updater first you must launch Apps/AppleScript/AppleScript Utility.app and check Enable GUI Scripting (enter an admin pass), then you can run this script…
    click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">tell application "System Events" to tell process "iPod Updater" to set an_sn to the value of static text 6 of group 1 of window 1
    tell application "TextEdit"
    activate
    set a_name to the text returned of (display dialog "Enter a name for iPod " & an_sn default answer "")
    if the length of (get documents) is less than 1 then make new document
    tell (a reference to the front document's text) to set contents to contents & an_sn & tab & a_name & return
    end tell</pre>Edit

  • HOW CAN I GET A NEW LAYOUT/HOMESCREEN? PLEASE READ AND HELP

    Hi, I currently have the Blackberry model Curve 8530, and I have been trying to get the new update (the menu style like the torch) because all my other friends have the same phone and I can’t download the update. My phone and computer say that I have the update v5.0.0.973 (platform 4.2.0.422) how can I change the menu style or platform to get it like the torch or the newer blackberry menu’s, because my phone desktop manager says that the phone is updated but it is not. Is there anyway to fix this?
    Thank-you for your time.

    Yes, they do. All my data, and the confirmaton of this, is in the battery curves thread, which I assume you read as it's referred from the FAQ post.
    People should also post their players, although it seems you're after Micro data.
    In theory you shouldn't see much variation from the above data, but it depends how people use their players.

  • Users of systemd and lxdm or lightdm please read and comment [solved]

    I'm trying to confirm that both lxdm and lightdm do not properly establish a systemd session upon login.  Thanks to tomegun in this thread for the detective work.  In short, if you both use systemd and login graphically with EITHER lxdm or lightdm, please post the output of:
    $ ck-list-sessions | grep TRUE
    $ loginctl
    For me, logging in with lxdm or lightdm, the result is:
    $ ck-list-sessions | grep TRUE
    active = TRUE
    is-local = TRUE
    $ loginctl
    SESSION UID USER SEAT
    0 sessions listed.
    So lxdm or lightdm are not establishing systemd sessions correctly... if I log in with gdm, the results for the `loginctl` are different:
    $ loginctl
    SESSION UID USER SEAT
    9 1000 facade seat0
    1 sessions listed.

    this to me is crucial cause i cant manage anything in terms of files right now on my playbook and i have 64GB of data i could store but there is no point of filling it all up if i cant even manage any files as of right now. its to the point that i rather store stuff in my BB smartphone than in my PB! which makes no sense!
    Also,
    -auto correction would be nice
    -view pictures in portrait mode
    -themes on PB would be great
    -wi-fi music sync just like on my BB smartphone would be very good as well
    -a .rar and .zip file opener and extractor for downloaded files
    -BBM BBM BBM BBM! please BBM!
    -Social feed app! that ill be amazing! or bridging the one i have on my BB smartphone!
    -BB protect for PB is going to be necessary and mandatory over time! very important!

  • If Adobe competed against Microsoft Word... (important, please read and participate!)

    Ever wonder what a word processing program by Adobe would look like?
    I have.  It would be full of Adobe-style timesaving Shortcuts, such as:
    Being able to delete text on page 34 while you're looking at page 2, or
    Being able to bold, resize and italicize text on page 7 while looking at page 15
    Sound ridiculous?  That's because it is!  Yet, as ridiculous as it might sound for a word processing program to allow users to do this, that's the same nonsense that goes on in Premiere Pro.
    For example, here are some of the things users can all too easily do to selected media that isn't even in the visible portion of their Timeline:
    Delete clips
    Ripple delete clips
    Modify Video/Audio effects
    Modify Motion settings
    and now in PP CC, even add video/audio transitions
    Which long time Premiere editor has never deleted an unseen selected clip by mistake, only to discover the mistake long after the fact (when no number of Undos could fix the problem)?
    Which new CC editor has never mistakenly added transitions to unseen selected clips?
    Are there any situations when users would actually want to change Timeline content that isn't within the Timeline's visible bounds?
    Apparently Adobe thinks so.  Could it be Adobe programmers feel that actually seeing the clips you're modifying is somehow unnecessary and even passé?
    It doesn't take a genius to see just how incredibly stupid this is!  IMHO, the ability to erroneously modify unseen clips in so many different ways, makes Premiere Pro unnecessarily prone to user mistakes, while providing 0 benefits in return.
    My proposed solution is simple.  Let's unite and all send Adobe (www.adobe.com/go/wish) the following official Feature Request, for the benefit of PP users:
    *******Enhancement / FMR*********
    Brief title for your desired feature:
    Only allow clips that are within the visible portion of the Timeline to be modified.
    How would you like the feature to work?
    Never allow selected clips that fall completely outside the visible bounds of the Timeline to be:
    -Deleted
    -Ripple Deleted
    -have video/audio transitions added to them
    -modified in the Effect Controls window
    -etc.
    Note: If a clip selection is partially within the viewable bounds of the Timeline, then all relevant actions above should be allowed.
    Why is this feature important to you?
    I can't think of a single instance in which any user would ever want to modify selected clips that are completely outside the visible bounds of their Timeline.  The ability to change unseen clips provides zero user benefits while making Premiere Pro extremely prone to user errors.  Please fix this by only allowing users to modify clips that are within the visible portion of their Timeline.
    User attempts to modify unseen clips could bring up a discrete warning, such as a small red bar that would flash once over the track(s) that have the unseen selected clips.  For example, if a user hits the Delete key while there's selected clips on V1, V2 and A2 to the left side of the Timeline's visible portion, small red bars would flash once on the left-hand edge of tracks V1, V2 and A2.  This would visually inform users that they have unseen selected clips on those tracks, and therefore the current 'Delete' command can't be used since the selected clips are outside the visible range of the Timeline.
    For the sake of accommodating the preference of all users, this visual warning could be turned on/off in PP CC's new Timeline wing menu.
    The more we speak up to let Adobe know how we want our software to work, the bigger our chance of eventually getting it, so lets all pitch in!  If you've ever modified an unseen selected clip by mistake, please do your part and Copy/paste the FR above to send it to Adobe, or write your own version.  Thank you!

    Steven,
    It's clear from your response that you don't even understand the details of my FR.
    Did you miss the part where I wrote: "Note: If a clip selection is partially within the viewable bounds of the Timeline, then all relevant actions above should be allowed."  This means if any action, such as a Ripple Delete is performed on a clip(s)/clip selection that is partially visible in the Timeline, in would work as it currently does (Rippling all clips in and out of the visible range). If the user tries to Ripple Delete selected clips that are completely out of view of the timeline, then the action would not be allowed, in order to prevent users from deleting clips by mistake and not even immediately seeing the result of that action.  I thought it was already clear, but hopefully this clarifies it even further.
    I'm talking about Premiere not allowing users to edit selected clips that are completely out of view on the Timeline.  Chances are that if a user has selected clips that are completely out of view on the Timeline, he/she has forgotten about those selected clips and does not want to be able to modify those clips by mistake.
    Regarding suggesting that I go to FCP just because you didn't like a FR request I posted, which you didn't even care to understand fully before responding... really?
    Jim,
    How often do you actually want to perform edits on selected clips that are completely outside the visible bounds of your Timeline?  When does doing so actually save you time or provide you with a 'very real benefit' as you say?  In my case, never.  I'm guessing in the case of most people, it's never as well.  I'd appreciate it if you could provide an example of when being able to do this is useful because I can't think of any.  Thanks
    Perhaps another approach would be to allow off screen changes to be made, as is currently the case, but have the red bar warnings I mention.  This way, users would know everytime they change media that's off screen.
    The ideal solution might be to have this as a preference:  An 'Allow changes to off-screen Timeline clips' checkbox.  When checked, things would work the error-prone way they currently do.  Unchecked, they'd work the way I suggest.  The red warning indicators could also be turned on/off as I mention in my FR.  What do you guys think?
    I sure would find this forum a much friendlier/more civilized place if people tried to help each other with constructive suggestions rather than just dismissing each other's ideas and making ridiculous comments such as 'if you don't like it, go back to FCP'.

    After you click on "Add a Printer", do you select "Add a Network, Wireless, or Bluetooth Printer"?
    If that doesn't work, there should be a way to connect by specifying the IP address of your AirPort Express.
