Screw steve jobs and apple

this is a bunch of crap. anyone who bought an iphone should get the 100 dollar rebate. Steve can save his crap explanation for someone who believes it. and i also don't think it should matter where you bought the iphone. either way apple got the money for the iphone. i'm done with apple and this is the last purchase I make from them.

Yeah, because your alternative (MS) is such the model corporate citizen. Apple has not "screwed" you. Apple hyped the product, and got the media all involved. In turn, you probably got all hot and bothered over the "NEED" to get this brand spanking new product, and you forked over your money. Thereafter, Apple dropped the price. Why? Who knows..sales may not have been so good...Apple may have decided to try and broaden their customer base by reducing the price. Whatever.
I too forked over my money on June 29th after sitting in line. I'm the idiot for sitting in line, but do I regret it? No. It was a nice break from work and I have a stellar product, which you couldn't pry from my cold, dead hands. This move (price drop and expansion of customer base) will benefit the consumer of the iPhone in the long run (the reason why is too long to explain here). If you can't afford to be an early adopter, then wait. Get some impulse control.
Nonetheless, since you have decided to "quit" Apple forever, then goodbye. You'll be back. And, what's worse, you know it.

Thank You Steve Jobs and Apple, Inc.

Just want these forums to now be flooded with praise for Apple's decision. It's not $200, but I never expected that. After all, we stood in line knowing that price drops would come, although we never expected such a drastic drop. A $100 gift card is a nice resolution to this situation, and my faith in Apple has been restored. I've already called customer service, of who I was on the line complaining to for most of the day, and filed a 'compliment' to thank Apple for addressing this issue and listening to their loyal fanbase. Please do the same. Cheers ~

Why should you feel robbed?? You made the mistake of not spending a 100 more for twice the storage space! There is nothing wrong your phone, you made the decision at the counter to save yourself some dough and these are the repercussions . I believe that this by far the best pr contol that i've seen in a long time. The only unfortunate incident that i see is that now all you crybabies are going to expect apple to compensate you for every price drop in the future, causing them lose even more money. Why do you feel robbed? Are you going to expect a price difference when apple inevitably updates your laptops (probably the least expensive macbooks at that)?? If you do than you should not be a consumer of any sort.

Steve Jobs and his magical powers!

I have found two things I can't do in iWeb but Steve Jobs can...
1) When I drag a photo album onto the page iWeb asks if i want to place all the photos in that album. If you click 'no' it doesnt do anything, if you click 'yes' it sprays your site with all the pics in that album.
When Steve did it in the macworld webcast the album turned into a button (without an alert) which when activated starts a slideshow of all the pics in that album.
Why doesnt mine do that?
2) When I 'manually' create a slideshow and go to view it, instead of the slick looking black background with reflections etc that Steve Jobs gets, I get a crappy 'Quicktime 5' lookalike window thats about as appealing as treating sunburn with a dose of sandblasting. Whats going on?

The behaviour you describe doesn't apply when you drag to a Photo page, which is probably what Steve was demonstrating. These have a Start Slideshow button already on the page. When you drag your photo album to the placeholder area your images are laid out in a grid of thumbnails and you can edit the captions and change the style of the thumbnail frames.
As said by the other poster, you only get the black background and reflection and transparent controls when you publish to .Mac, but there are options available for overriding the HomePage-style slideshow which iWeb defaults to when published to a local folder, as explained in this topic:

Steve Jobs

Hi All,
I know that this may not be the right place to talk about the passing of Steve Jobs, but i wanted to express my condolences to his family, friends and co-workers. He was a genius in his own right!
I have to admit, i never really liked Apple products until i purchased the iPhone 4 last year and then followed by the iPad 1 3G and love the gadgets like anything, to be honest, it is as if they are glued to my hand!!
So, what are your thoughts and experiences with Steve Jobs and Apple products?
God bless Steve x
CG Over An Out

Hi CG,
On a personal note I'd have to agree with you. A true icon of the 21st century.

Thanks Steve and Apple !

I just read the open letter from Steve Jobs and I am feeling MUCH better than I did yesterday. I understand the need to move forward and actually wasn't that upset as I do love my iPhone and all the other Apple products I use daily. It is just nice to see that the early supporters are being thought of as well.

I have had this problem CONSISTENTLY since downloading remote app to my iTouch. The controls will work for awhile then it loses that functionality. It's terribly annoying. I have to reset the Apple TV, delete then reload the remote app, etc. It's not worth the trouble when it's purported to be "easy."

IPhone $100 credit?!! and Apple Repair Service Scam!!!

To Steve Jobs, the Apple Board and Customers:
While I am happy that Apple is concerned about their customers, (and I will debade that in a moment), I cannot believe that you (Steve and Apple) went ahead with this move. Are you going to give me a $10 a share credit for the stock I bought at $140 that is now at $130 because of this pricing move and this credit?!! It's the same thing! Are all the iPhone buyers now boo-hooing because they had to buy the iPhone and didn't feel it was worth $599? You do realize that you now have set a precedent for all future pricing cuts at Apple, as everyone that has purchased a system that gets a price cut will slam Apple with email complaining they paid too much, etc. I want a credit for the money I have lost due to the discounting of my stock for this rediculous iPhone price cut. You guys blew it!!
Second problem regards a service problem. My 12" powerbook to a drop off the couch a year ago. Still working fine. Decided to get the bottom aluminum case plate replaced, as it is causing too much pressure on the DC inboard recepticle for the power cord. Took it in and got a $600 cost. Ok, way over-priced, but better than new systm! Sent it out. Less than a week later, I got a call from App,e, saying that the service team that inspected my system needed to also replace the DC inboard (fine) and the Hard Drive. The Hard Drive worked fine at the store before sending it off. I qouted the back of the service agreement stating that any damage of the system in Apple's care is Apple's problem, so replace it, but not at my cost. The Apple rep said that this did not qualify, as the "crashed" hard drive was due to the drop. I explained there was not drive problem until Apple shipped it, so get the cost from the shipper insurance. Apple rep said the cost was mine to bear and they would not proceed with the repairs unless I agreed to replacing the DC inboard and HD at an additional cost of $375 (3 times market cost from local Appple authorized repair facility). I continued to question the HD crash. She stated that the repair facility said it crashed, no longer operational. I said I can get these parts for a much better price, send the unit back as is.
Well, unit came back and is FINE!!!! HD works perfectly!!! Ran a diagnostic (I am a certified Sun Microsystems and HP System and server administrator!!!) on the drive and no sector damage or HW problems from the read/write testing. DC inboard is still functional. Apple sent this to Flextronics International. I say, CHECK YOUR SERVICE PROVIDERS APPLE, AS THEY ARE COMMITTING FRAUD ON THE APPLE CUTOMER BASE AND YOU FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS!!! I am not making this up, I have the documents proving this and my system is working right now as I type this. I hope to hear from someone at Apple to contact me on this issue, as the store and 800-MyApple jst softly skirted the issue with, "I'm sure there is a problem with the hard drive and it was not working at the repair facility. It is just on its last life and just happens to be working now." Are you kidding me?!!! I wonder if the New York Time would be interested in this problem?!!!
I also noticed the service agreement states that all replaced parts will be replaced with either new, reconditioned or USED parts. GREAT!!! They would take my drive out, put it in someone elses "crashed" drive and take their drive and put it in my computer and get a huge markup for nothing but labor!!!
I am glad I no longer own Apple shares, and anyone who does, beware of this and other devaluing business decisions or over-sight lacking of Steve Jobs, the Apple board and company!!
Sincerely,
Eric

The messed up thing is that I thought I could use the credit on iTunes over time as I buy music, audiobooks, etc., but noooooo, they won't let you use the credit for either iTunes or for the purchase of an iTunes gift card. Truly an empty promise. I purchased all of the needed iPhone accessories (docks, cases, adaptors) before the credit was announced! Now there is nothing else really relevant to buy from the Apple Store (retail or online) if they aren't going to let you use iTunes. I guess I could return the extra dock I bought and then re-buy it with the credit. Now, where is that receipt and packaging?? The only other things they sell for iPhone that I don't have are the crystal film and another one of those silly little adaptors you have to use for a car cassette device all b/c of the recessed jack on the iPhone. It shouldn't be this way, particularly with Apple.

The Mac App Store - changing the philosophy of Steve Jobs

I've just finished Steve Jobs autobiography. I started thinking about Steve Jobs and the intentional philosophy of making sure the hardware worked well with the software to make a "few core products." The MAC App store is a sellout moving away from this truth. Perhaps Apple one day will realize that moving away from "the top five products" to supporting zillions of software apps is a huge error. It is a sellout to make more and more profits. While this may work in the short-term, I would much rather see Apple focus on a few good third-party software products. Perhaps something like a brand certification such as "Apple certified software" to be only awarded to the very best in the App store. It may be a good idea to have an SDK that is required to meet this very high standard. While I know Apple does filter the titles in their app store, it does not offer the true legacy of what Steve Jobs stood for, making the software and hardware work as team to make "great products." "People at Apple were charged to make great products and not great profits," sometimes surprising the public with what they didn't realize they needed. The App store is not built to support the high standard that is Apple. I hope this will change one day.

Steve Jobs comments on flash

Steve Jobs said flash is buggy (under Mac) and it explains why many Mac devices doesn't support flash. As to AIR applications, I do feel the performance and stability under Mac is worse than Windows. As a developer, I wish AIR apps can reach as many devices as possible (including iPhone and iPad). Does the AIR team have a rough estimation when this could happen?

Screw HTML5 - how much longer are we going to be playing with this legacy 90's garbage?
Every new piece of crap 'Internet technology' that comes out claims it'll save the world, fix all the problems, make everything WORK. Sounds like the usual bull. Why are we still playing with JavaScript and DHTML in 2010?? Where is this next generation Internet we've been promised? All I see is more hackish solutions built on top of already hackish foundations.
The only way to ditch this legacy rubbish is to move towards VM-based platforms. It's already happening in the hardware world. Flash/Flex and Silverlight are the Internet-RIA equivalent of the same trend. Stop trying to salvage technology conceived decades ago. What a waste of money and time!
I'd rather see Adobe team up with someone like Microsoft to engineer a next generation browser platform than play nice with Steve Jobs and his kool aid drinking customer base (who seem to be tasting poison more and more lately). Stop trying to build applications within technology that was designed to display static text, and start building applications on technology designed to run applications.

A major black eye for Apple and Steve Jobs - an update on activation issues

I am at 30 hours and still waiting for activation!
I have spent over 7 hours on the phone between yesterday and today trying to get my phone activated. I have been talking to AT&T and Apple and I have wasted my day on hold. No one seems to know what the issue is and everyone keeps telling my they are sorry. I am a current AT&T customer and they deactivated my old phone immediately.
I was on the phone with Apple earlier today for over an hour and the rep had to work with AT&T and still could not correct my activation. She "promised" to call back before 7pm PDT to see if my issue was resolved and I should have known better since of course no call was received. I really was not expecting the call but it should never have been offered.
Throughout my numerous calls I was informed that this was becoming a major issue for AT&T and Apple as the day was progressing and that they had numerous people working on the problem.
Where has Apple and AT&t been in all this? Steve Jobs has been promoting the heck out of his product and now he is no where to be found. No statements addressing the issues on either of their web sites. During my last conversation with AT&T, the rep informed me that at 10:36 CDT she received an update from Apple saying that they are trying to resolve the issues and that it may take 24-48 more hours to resolve. The AT&T rep also informed me that they it AT&T was informed by Apple that the issues with activation are coming from the Apple side.
I know that this is a new product and glitches will happen. But Apple created the hype and they should have been prepared.
In the meantime, I will be charged an activation fee even though I cannot activate and I have wasted my weekend with Apple.
I have a feeling this will become a bigger story on Monday when more stories get out to the press and Mr. Jobs returns from celebrating his "succesful" launch. This is a very frustrating experience and this will probably be my last Apple purchase (I own numerous Apple items).
Good luck to everyone else.
I h

Sorry to hear about all your issues. I am about in the same boat. But, I think mines kinda worse..
Got my phone last night, got the typical Your activation requires additional time. Spoke with an AT&T rep about 4pm this afternoon. He said he would push the activation and give it up to 2 hours more.. Great! 5 hours later and nothing. So I call the 877 number, option 3 to check activation status.... Your phone is activated and you should be able to use all features.. WHAT?! I look at my phone.. I still have a globe telling me to activate iphone, connect to iTunes.. Im 45 mins on hold waiting for a rep again and im more mad then it would have been if it said it was still processing! I understand glitches, and I expected a few issues, but nothing like this..
And as i am typing i just got a customer service agent...
They've done everything they can and i need to wait, since it hasn't been 24 hours yet.. ok, now *** is that?! Im just laughing at how absurd that call was. The customer service rep didn't even understand that i was still at the activate screen, she was asking if i had a dial tone? and if i could get into mail or ipod at the bottom.. oh my.. I really hope I dont have to call AT&T support again for my life with this phone, cause its not starting out good..
Best to all.. lets hope this gets resolved soon!!

Have a new iPad with ios6. Will not send emails. Addresses are valid but get notice each time that recipient was rejected by the server. No help on web site, and Apple's only manual is for previous os version. We miss Steve Jobs.

Have a new IPad with IOS6. Will not send emails. Addresses are valid but get notice each time that "recipient was rejected by the server." Apple has apparently neglected to put out a manual with IOS6 and the previous manual has no indication of what to do. Really miss Steve Jobs.

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works

I am 13 and I am very enthusiastic about Apple. At the moment I am reading a Steve Jobs auto-biography and I noticed something that Steve Jobs did in his early life was join the Hp explorers club. Are there any companies who still have clubs?

I really want to start making electronics as I plan to do a course on the subject
I would be so grateful if you can answer my question

Good catch! Yes there was a time when many companies and other organizations did that sort of thing. Now not so much.
Intel still sponsors clubs see http://www.computerclubhouse.org.
You might also check around, there might be after school programs, sometimes the YMCA or Boys & Girls Clubs have programs.
good luck

Color Picture of Steve Jobs that I would like to send to Apple for use in his honor. I prefer Color

I would like to send Apple a Color Picture of Steve Jobs that I found on Google. it's the same picture Steve Jobs Biography that
Walter Isaacson wrote. except it's in color. What I did was use my Drawing Pad Program to bring in the picture and then I brought in a splash I croped with Steve Jobs 1955-2011 and saved it. I want you all at Apple to have a copy to use for his memormial eash year. And Thank you Tim Cook and everyone at Apple for honoring Steve's values in keeping Apple products the great products that they are and will remain. Siri is such a riot. I have so much with her. I was able to use Best Buy's Trade-in Program and I traded my iPad 2 in for the new iPad 3rd Generation. I am one that needs Siri to help me spell some words when I get brain lock. lol. . She is also fun to play with. I asked her to tell me a joke, she came back with, " Two iPhones walk in a bar, I forget the rest. LOL. you all have an ad with this joke. I haven't asked her any questions on sports yet. I like figure skating in the winter olympics beacause it's so graceful.
Very Sincerely,

Re, "Podcasts about Podcasting" area on itunes and thank you, Steve Jobs.

Hi,
I've just started my About.com Guide to Podcasting and was hoping to eventually be listed in this prestigious list of folks. Knowing that I'm a total "newbie," wondering if any of the iTunes folks/fellow podcasters have any advice about getting listed in this area?
I also searched through the Technology Podcasts (as well as the podcasters on podcasting page) and couldn't find my show listed. Is this just because it's so young? I've heard you need to have four to five shows up before you're considered more than a flash in the pan.
Tangent: In this first episode (at the end) I talk about how watching Steve Jobs present at last year's Apple conference (talking about latest iLife suite) transformed my adult life (obviously for the better!) Didn't know if anyone at Apple (PR folks, etc.) would be interested in hearing it, but I'd love their feedback. I'll have the podcast listed on the about.com site (front page of the podcasting channel) so I hope to have lots of listeners/subscribers.
Thanks for the advice and best regards to all,
John C. Havens
About.com Guide to Podcasting
http://podcasting.about.com

Hi S,
Thanks very much for your help. I'll keep on podding.
Tangent: Do you have any MAC mail experts over there? For my about.com emails, people have said the "reply to" button says, "[email protected]" instead of "com" at the end. about says it's not on their end, and I've done the preferences/account checking thing multiple times. Any thoughts? If you could respond to: [email protected] that would be great because you might be able to see what's happening.
Or here. Not sure what the protocol is, so thanks.
