Privacy Concern with Apps

When is Apple going to allow the iPhone and iPad users to delete YouTube and Map applications from our devices.  Apples privacy policy indicates that with third party apps, the privacy policy is set by the third-party provider and not apple.  For Youtube and Maps that third party is Google.  I don't like Googles new privacy policy and don't wish to use their apps.  However on the Iphone Apple loads these apps, is not responsible for what happens with my information, and won't let me delete the apps - I should be able to delete these applications with the same ease that I can delete any other.  When will this change?

  • Privacy concerns with Update Profile Photos

    Hi,
    I updated to Mac OS X 10.8.2 and enabled the system-wide Facebook account in the System Preferences.
    The preference pane offers the option of updating contact photos in the address book with those found on Facebook, using phone numbers and mail addresses as search keys.
    I tried this option and was very surprised of the result, in particular:
    many pictures were fetched of people who are in my address book, but are not my friends on Facebook
    those people had elected not to make their email address or phone number visible to non-friends
    as in my country (Italy) mobile operators "recycle" after some time mobile phone numbers which have have been dropped by customers, and I had old records in my address book with some of these "recycled" numbers, pictures were added of "strangers" who do not have anything to do with the person in my address book.
    It seems to me that this integration between Facebook and the contact list is too "aggressive" to say the least, and it is possibly breaking Facebook's privacy settings.
    I believe that only pictures of actual Facebook friends should be fetched, and only of those friends whose phone number or mail address is visible in accordance with their privacy settings (e.g. I have my mobile phone number on Facebook, but it is visible just to "close friends").
    I did not find a way of reporting this behavior to Apple, so I hope Apple staff is monitoring this discussion board. I would be glad to have suggestions from readers of this board for a better way of bringing this information to the attention of Apple.

  • Now I have privacy concerns with ATV2

    After last night's epic failure of the ATV system, what we have learned is that every single video you play on an ATV2 has to be authorized by apple servers.
    I understand it if the video has Apple's fairplay DRM, but much of the video I have in itunes is my personal video or DVDs i ripped with handbrake.
    Last night Apple's servers were down and anybody who owned an ATV2 could not play any videos.
    So keep in mind they have to authorize every video you play, and if their servers are down like they were last night, you can't play ANYTHING...

    Gosh
    I hope that's not true.
    Am I correct in thinking you're saying that this outage prevented you streaming unprotected content to AppleTV?
    DRM is a pain in the neck that only affects paying customers who want to use their content in a versatile manner.
    I previously took AppleTV2 on a trip along with iPad, MacMini and old AppleTV - bit of overkill.
    Where we stayed had no internet connectivity that I could easily use for AppleTVs.
    No problems playing DRM content from the AppleTV1's hard drive.
    No problem using Mac Mini hooked up to TV via HDMI to play back DRM content.
    I ran into the authorisation issues when trying to stream conetnet from itunes to the AppleTV 2 or using Airplay to send things to AppleTV 2.
    If Apple now invokes internet authorisation just to play anything they are crippling the device if there's a server or interent issue which is wrong.
    This goes hand in hand with the fragility of the iTunes DRM content ecosystem in that in the unlikely event iTunes store closed if bought out/Apple failed and servers were shut down then your content would be rendered useless.  This is quite unlikely in the forseeable future but who knows in 10-20 years time ?

  • No wi-fi with apps

    I am able to connect to a wi-fi signal, and able to get on the internet with Safari, but cannot connect through apps, such as Facebook, linkedIn, Pandora, Netflix, etc. I have been on several different networks over the last 2 days, and experienced the same problem on both networks. These are not new networks, as I have been using them for several months. The issue seems somewhat spontaneous. It worked last week, then the battery died completely. Fully charged the ipod, then I noticed the time and timezone changed after the charge. Network settings and all are still there, but can't join the apps that require internet, except for Safari. I hardly use safari, so not concerned with spam necessarily.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    I deleted the known networks, set them up again, and no change to the wi-fi issue.
    Help!
    Jacob

    1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
    2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

  • I can't turn off "share crash data with app developers"

    I enabled this feature accidentally during the onboarding process for my new Macbook Pro, and now I can't turn it off as the button is greyed out.

    The feature is located in in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy.

    Any suggestions for how to do this?

    cezinho,
    Click on "Send diagnostics & usage data to Apple."
    That will enable you to change "Share crash data with app developers."

  • Privacy concerns about the skype service

    HI Skype community
    I just opened my first skype account and have dire privacy concerns for  valid reasons. On facebook you have an option of viewing how others see your information and controlling what people see. I want no information of mine on skype to be seen by contacts or anyone for that matter.
    I noticed the first contact i made was able show me their contact list amount, date of birth ect . Things i dont need to know however the information was their making me concerned as to what and why skype would allow without my consent information regarding my profile to anyone on the skyping network .
    If you have a solution for this and a way to basically insure no one can see how many contact I have ect more importantly a way to ensure nothing of my information is available to be veiwed by public serachers and contacts that would be appreciated. Im in adesperate attempt to remain private and away for any information that could be seeped about my social activities and social life not that its the greatest one, but it could lead people to information about me i wouldnt otherwise have been asked for my permission to know about let alone given anyone permission to know about.
    Regards,

    Hi, Sashag, and welcome to the Community,
    Many of the profile settings are set by default to display to the public or to contacts only; only a few of the settings provide a drop-down menu choice.  For any data which you do not want displayed to the default audience, simply leave the setting as Blank or Not Specified, as appears in the screen shot, below, with the Birth Date setting highlighted.
    Regards.

  • Iphone 4s wont sync when I connect it to the pc( not apple). It is connected as it comes up on itunes but when I try to sync it with apps/ music etc it wont. I am doing something wrong or is it a mistake with the phone.

    My iphone 4s wont sync when I connect it to the pc( not apple). It is connected as it comes up on itunes but when I try to sync it with apps/ music etc it wont. I am doing something wrong or is it a mistake with the phone. I am still able to download apps and music from itunes on my phone though.
    I already restored it but that didn't help.
    TIA for any replies.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup? 

  • I want to install apps from itunes to my ipod and manage them manually but there is only one option to do that replaces my apps on ipod with apps in my itunes library . Is there any way to install the apps without replacing them??

    I want to install apps using itunes from my pc but there is only on option for doing that i.e. itunes replace the installed apps with apps on itunes. Is there any other way for doing that without replacing my apps ???

    Ipod touch will sync with one computer at a time.  If you sync to another then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

  • I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state.

    I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state. I have tried signing out/in of my account, rebooting and removing/re-installing the apps.  This started shortly after going to iOS 5 but I am not certain if that is related.  All updates that I try now are stuck in "waiting".  I also tried removing the apps and then installing via iTunes desktop sync with no improvement.  The only thing that I have not tried so far is a restore to a prior iPhone backup.  I have not been able to find anything to indciate what the updates on waiting on.  There is plenty of space on the iPhone (16gb available).  Any suggestions on what to try next? 

    Hello there, Missy.
    First thing I would recommend is to check your downloads queue to make sure there is not an interrupted download per the following Knowledge Base article:
    iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    1. From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    2. For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    3. Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    4. Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
    If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
    For Apps, you can also try tapping on the application icon to resume the download, as outline in this featured discussion:
    App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
    Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
    Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
    If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • My ipad2 has gone haywire with apps opening and closing pictures flashing on safari history messages, key board etc. I have tried rebooting it to no avail.

    My Ipad 2 is possessed. I was reading a book when the pages started flipping on hteir own, with apps opening and closing. I did a cold boot, but it was no help. No, it has not gotten wet.

    Sounds like a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support.

  • I just bought my 10 year old autistic daughter an IPOD touch that she needs to take to school with just limited music on it but she also also has an IPAD mini for home that is fulllyloaded with apps .  How do I set up Itunes to make this work

    I just bought my 10 year old autistic daughter an IPOD touch that she needs to take to school with just the music (no apps) on it but she also also has an IPAD mini for home that is fullly loaded with apps.  The last time I tried to connect 2 devices to Itunes I ended up loosing my own music library so I am a bit hesitant to start setting up this new IPOD touch with outsome help. Anyone have any ideas on how I set up Itunes to make this work and not loose her IPAD apps and media?

  • HT2188 I bought my iPhone 4s Nov. 20.  I updated immediately to ios6.0 and cannot make it through even 1 day without the battery going down to almost zero.  Thats with apps closed, wifi off, screen off, etc.  It's a horror.  I have to constantly keep char

    I purchased an iPhone 4s on Nov. 20th.  I immediately had to update the software to ios 6.0.1.  I cannot even get through 1 day without the phone battery losing all power.  It loses 10-20% per hour, and that's with apps closed, wifi off, bluetooth off, screen dark, updates current, etc.  You can hold the phone in your hand and watch the power go down.  It also gets very warm.  I have to charge it once or twice a day so I have it when I need it.
    I took it in to the Sprint store for diagnostics to see if there was something wrong with the phone.  They said the phone is ok, but one of the agents said it's the last update - he has had problems ever since.  He said he thought they are working on fixing it & we should be getting another update to fix it.  Is this true?  I sure hope so!  They also showed me how to reboot the phone, especially when it gets so warm.  Is there anything else I need to do?  Please help!
    This is my first iPhone and I am very frustrated and disappointed in Apple.  If it's the software, I would think they would be frantically trying to fix it.  This phone was not the cheapest phone, so the battery life should be better!

    After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery.  I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on.
    Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.
    She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old).
    After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.
    I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it-
    Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743
