SDK 3.0 now free! Thank you Apple!

Thank you apple for ceasing to charge 99 dollars to us plebes in order to access technical documentation and developer's tools for our ipods and iphones. It is much appreciated. I will need this forum less now that I can rely on authoratative documentation again..
And as I learn more, I might even shell out the big bucks for the spiffy wwdc iphone videos you just mailed me about. But before I do that, I intend to wade through the FREE CLASS on iphone development from Stamford available on Itunes U and taught by apple engineers. Thank you for that too.
It is these occasional delights which keep me a loyal apple customer. All of us techies can build a machine on the cheap for ourselves but we don't because we love your stuff.

bob,
thank you for confirming what i said. i feel a bit less loopey after julian corrected my letter of gratitude.
as far as the nda goes, i think almost everybody at devcon has signed an nda anyway to use a preview of something even if it is safari. Yes, I take it seriously, btw. Not sure how it related to the issue of charging a hundred bucks to look at documentation. It sure put a lot of guesswork into upgrading the os because outsiders couldn't know what they were getting or how well it might work for weeks after the introduction.
For instance I did not know that the os natively handles files from .numbers and .rtf-- there are tons of stuff I can transfer into the ipod as spreadsheets without buying 5 dollar apps to track my gas mileage,eg. And I will stop printing my nisus writer documents as pdfs to read in the ipod touch.

  • Disappearing Songs on iPod - Thank you Apple!

    4000 songs gone, about 1 months of work ripping my CD Lib lost. Thank you Apple Engineers!
    Background:
    When I Rip a CD, I store temporaly the files on my PC HD, then I update the iTune Music List, then I synchronize the iPod. Afterward, I delete the file from my PC but keep the song names in the iTune libray list. They are flagged with an error "cannot locate the original file", but it has never been a problem, and so it is specified in the help on line.
    iTune 5.0.1 Upgrade:
    When I upgraded to 5.0.1, all the files on the Ipod with a file name in iTune Library that cannot be located on the PC HD, disappeared from the iPOD. I still have a 4000 songs list in iTune but no more files in the iPod. That is marvelous!
    ------

    I concur that you have identified a serious design flaw in the iPod / iTunes interface.
    I encountered a similar disaster when I moved to a new machine (windows). I installed iTunes, connected my fully loaded ipod with all my songs, ratings, playlists, etc. and proceeded to connect to the iPod. I didn't notice the small print in the connection dialog box that comes up to tell you that the libary in iTunes did not match that in the iPod, clicked yes and the system overwrote all of my iPod information with 'nothing'. Several months of organizing and rating songs were lost.
    Now, several months later, I have yet another disaster in the making. I have two profiles on my Windows machine (thanks to my local IT system afministrator), with 'My iTunes' library files created in both. For god knows what reason, both these files have been corrupted (e.g. lost my playlists, ratings, links to song folders and neither matches the configuration on my iPod!!!
    The system has no ability to upload the config and song information from my iPod to iTunes, and all iTunes does is threaten to over-write the iPod. This will once again wipe out all of my information.
    It seems to me that the Engineers at Apple need to change the linkage between iPod and iTunes giving the end-user more control to upload or download info from an iPod and to Merge the songs, lists, etc.

  • ITunes 7.1 - Thank you Apple, but...

    iTunes 7.1 - Thank you Apple, but...
    ...it doesn't fix my problem with Vista
    Here's the details, and the log from iTunes iPod diagnostics. My laptop previously had XP Pro SP2 and I upgraded (not clean install) to Vista Ultimate.
    I uninstalled iTunes 7.0.2, rebooted, downloaded iTunes 7.1 and installed it.
    My Symptom:
    When I connect my iPod, iTunes freezes, Windows explorer stops responding, and the iPod does not show up as a
    device with removable storage. It does appear in Device Manager as a USB Mass Storage Device, though the device
    appears to reset itself apporximately once a minute.
    Following is the diagnostic log. Here, with timestamps to coordinate with the log, are the steps of what I did over
    the duration of the log.
    17:38:56 - Stopped then started the iPodService (to reset the diagnostic logs from previous attempts).
    Started a windows explorer, looking at "Computer" to watch for the removable device storage to appear.
    Started a device manager, looking at USB devices to watch for the iPod USB Mass Storage device to appear.
    Started iTunes 7.1, to watch for iPod to be recognized.
    17:40:45 - plugged in iPod - USB Mass Storage Device appears in device manager.
    Within a few seconds iTunes was frozen - no screen refreshes, no reponse to mouse. Also, Windows Explorer shows as
    "Not Responding" and does not refresh or respond to mouse or keyboard.
    At this point I waited approx 5 minute, and visible symptoms did not change - iTunes and Windows explorer still
    frozen.
    Periodically, the device manage screen refreshes as if a device were disconnected or connected. This appears to
    corespond with the [DevNodesChanged] log messages starting at 17:41:51, 17:41:57, 17:42:57, 17:43:03, 17:44:04,
    17:44:10, 17:45:10, and 17:45:16.
    At 17:45:40 I unplugged the iPod. (Previous tests waiting up to 20 minute showed me this was the only way to
    unfreeze iTunes and Win Explorer).
    Watching carefully at this point I observed:
    Windows explorer refreshed and Drive E: appeared briefly then went away;
    iTunes refreshed it's screen, and would now respond;
    The USB Mass Storage Device in device manager went away.
    Given that I unplugged the iPod at this point, I think we can safely ignore log messages after 17:45:40.
    The one message that stands out for me is:
    [SERVICE: 0x16C4,17:40:50 ERROR] Did not find first letter of stage
    While this shows as an error, I see no evidence of any sort of error recovery taking place.
    To verify that my USB devices are working, I first plugged in a USB mouse which was recognized properly and worked
    fine. I then tried a USB thumb drive which appeared correctly as a USB Mass Storage device and worked perfectly. I
    tried the iPod on two other USB ports with virtually identical results, so I'm certain the hardware and the default
    USB device drivers are fine.
    Here's the log from the experiment:
    Microsoft Windows Vista Professional (Build 6000)

    The iPod updater logging file cannot be found.
    While I'm obviously frustrated that 7.1 did not resolve my issue, I'll try hard to keep that frustration at bay and
    will make myself available to help diagnose and correct this problem. Contact me directly via email if I can be of
    assistance to Apple and Microsoft on getting this working.

    Well, I found a workaround for my issue. It's described in this article:
    [url="iPod not recognized correctly on Toshiba laptop"]http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300836[/url]
    By disabling the "Sandard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller" in device manager, my iPod was correctly recognized and I was able to sync with iTunes. That's the good news.
    The bad news is that: a) Windows warns me that my "device can operate faster if connected to a USB 2.0 port" - and the sync with iTunes runs slowly; b) if I reanable that USB device (as suggested in the Apple article, my iPod is no longer recognized.
    For now, I'll just disable this device when I need to sync, then reenable it when done. But this is going to be a pain. I really don't consider this a fix. It's really annoying that the iPod is the only USB device that requires this kind of nonsense.
    Looking forward to a "real" fix for this some time soon.

  • HT1459 I tried to restore my daughters ipod and it has a download on the itunes. I tried to open the download and that did not work. Her ipod is still disabled after the 5 hour download. What should I do now? Thank you. Sam

    My daughters iPod is now disabled because of my youngest daughter trying to get on it while away. I tried to restore it as per instructions via support site. It took 5 hours to do the download. I left it over night and in the morning I found the iPod still disabled. I have a download on iTunes so I tried to click on that and it won't open. I have to admit, I am not a computer wizz here. Could someone possible direct me to what I should do now? Thank you.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • A Cool iPhone Story Thank You Apple.

    All Apple:
    We have a great story about a iPhone used by our one of our online instructors (tech savy mom with two kids) using her iphone to respond to online questions, check homework, and to manage students WHILE walking the kids in the stroller, cooking, or nursing!
    The cool thing is that it enables her to manage her life and kids easily. The iPhone has improved her quality of communication and enables her to adjust her on-demand priorities including work.
    We are an international non-profit educating the world about renewable energy and green living.
    Dynamite testimony to great work. Thank you Apple.

    Bee , you are so right that most people only post when things go wrong not right.  Which made me think about the Apple Store in Charleston, SC.  I have never had a bad experience and besides buying my iMac there (which was a really good experience as it took us several trips to decide and they were really helpful) I have had a number of 1:1's and I think one trip to the genius bar which resulted in a new mouse.  Everyone I have dealt with there has been respectful and helpful.  At least with those visits you do get a chance to provide feedback.
    Nice to post these kinds of comments now and then too.

    The YouTube app is not included in iOS 6. You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google), or try accessing it via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)

  • Thank you Apple!!!  RAM-üroblem in older PB

    hy,
    i wanted to give my pb a christmaspresent, 2 gb ram! now there is just 1 gb insind (1x 1gb).
    but i realized that i own a pb, that has the known ram-slot-problem. there is/was the mainboard-replace-recall.
    i got in contact with apple and the said: "no, we are not changing going to fix the problem for free". the reasons: the warranty is finished (?) since 1,5 years and the serialnumber is to old, the number does not belong to the definded numbers of recall-project.
    great, apple! thank you. can you tell me how i should find a problem like this during the warranty-time, if i dont want to buy a second ram-module? the number is correct you say, but the symptoms are the same like with the pbs with the correct number... hey, i dont trust you, if you say there are no significant other ram-problems is this building-series.
    sorry, but this is bad, too bad, apple! grrrrrrrrrrrr....

  • Could apple send me an iPad air. All my friends are making fun of me because I'm stuck with the old device and no phone. I've had app problems with apple before so I think that it would only be fair to get a newer device. Thank You Apple

    First we aren't Apple just normal users just like you.
    Second provide Apple a feedback or send them a mail.
    Third they will never send you a free iPad Air.
    If you want one you have to buy it. (go for refurbished if the device is too expensive) or look for special prices.
    Contact iTunes support if you have a problem with an App.

  • IOS6 - "thank you", Apple

    I own the iPhone 4s and was quite happy with it, using the 5.1 or whatever iOS version. After the release of iOS6 I was curious, so I upgraded to 6.0.
    + DID NOT notice ANY usefull
    - wifi problems (often doesn't connect to my own wifi, never had such problems before with iPhone)
    - battery discharges VERY quickly
    - Safari freezing often when connected via 3G (never before)
    - Useless maps
    - Missing the old built-in youtube client, new youtube app can do nothing
    - Passbook has no use in Czech republic (don't miss this option though)
    - much worse enviroment of AppStore and iTunes
    Simple question to Apple or anyone who can help - How to downgrade back to iOS5.something? I don't want to wait until Apple fixes their stupid mistakes (why don't they try if new system works fine before releasing it?), I want to USE my phone, now I have phone mostly without wifi or 3G, discharging quickly etc. etc., this way I could easily have some old phone, which i'd use just for calling and messaging.
    Thank you very much in advance for any help!

    I am not saying anyone forced me, I am trying to find a solution. I could survive the enviroment (ok, let's say it would be just ME who it bothers), but wifi, battery, maps? That must bother everyone, right? I am not some crazy person who just LOVES apple and everything they do, I like their products, but how can I be happy with suddenly terrible battery and wifi and safari crashing? Is there some way to contact apple directly?

  • Thank you Apple

    Say what you want about Apple, about the slight over-pricing of some of their products, about their policy of secrets, about their not always perfect record on reliability, but I just LOVE their customer service and it doesn't surprise me they always score very high in that regard.
    Long story short, my beloved PB G4 was getting close to his 3-year warranty (in May) and after completing a paper for my research, I thought it was time to clean everything up and upgrade to Leopard and see if there was any issue. Not that I hadn't issues before with it Faulty logic board and battery recall did alter its original entrails but everytime it was well handled by Apple. For the last year or so however, I had more and more white stains on my screen, and judging by some of the threads over here, I wasn't sure that would fall under the warranty or not. I was decided that I would try my luck one of these days at the Apple Store, but I didn't know yet it would happen so soon...
    So anyway, back to my Tiger cleanup, moving most of the media to my iMac, removing many unneeded apps, I went down to only 20GB on the drive with all my essentials research stuff.I usually back up my critical files using .Mac (thesis, papers,...) and before moving to Leopard, I wanted a clean bootable backup using SuperDuper and a couple of DVDs for the rest of my data... Well, can't say it went according to the plan ! 3/4 of the way through the SuperDuper backup, my PB hanged and I started to hear an awful clicking noise from my HD... A reboot attempt was unsuccessful and I started to accept the fact that I just lost my work drive... Scrambling through the partial SuperDuper backup and my previous backups, I made sure I more or less got everything essential. This was late Monday night, around 2an. Setup an appointment at the Genius bar on Tuesday morning, got some sleep and here I am at the Apple Store, with the helpful Genius booting from the network and making sure my drive is real dead. I briefly considered the 3rd party recovery option but I was pretty confident I had everything I needed scattered among my various backups. I did take the opportunity to mention my LCD screen issues, but the Genius was not so sure they would fix it. By 11am Tuesday, I had said goodbye to my PB, and I was not holding my breath of having it back for the week-end which was quite unfortunate as I was, for once, travelling across the country... What a good surprise at 2pm today to receive a phone call from the Apple Store, telling me my PB was ready for pickup 50 hours only after dropping it there.
    Of course, I rushed there, signed the form, got my PB back and was anxious on the ride home to see if my screen had been replaced. By now, you probably have seen it coming, so yes not only do I have a new hard drive, but I also have a bigger hard drive (120GB against 80GB previously, I guess they just don't make 80GB drives anymore ) and a brand new LCD screen! Everything delivered in 50 hours, I'm quite impressed !
    Going now for a clean Leopard install with case-sensitive formatted drive (I do a lot of Unix stuff and will not use this machine to do any Adobe stuff so I should be safe right?), I think my beloved PB will be rejuvenated !
    Thanks for your time !

    Hi Matthieu
    Good news that it's all working so far. I've only had the PB a few days - just playing with it - my new toy . Next week I will be erasing the hard drive and starting fresh with Leopard.
    I'm moving from my trusty old G3 Wallstreet Powerbook - 10 years old. A dramatic difference between the two.
    I've been looking for a while for my specific G4 Powerbook - the very last model with hi-Res display and dual layer burning. I bought it off eBay here for AU $999 - that's about US $930. That price included a retail copy of Leopard.
    Yours seems to be an earlier model.
    I should point out that for my daily work (video editing, graphics, etc) I will still be mainly using my 8 year old G4 desktop.
    Regards. Robert.

  • Upgrade to 10.6.6 ruins DVD drive - THANK YOU, APPLE!!!!!

    Funny, since the upgrade from 10.6.5. to 10.6.6. I too have problems with a formerly more or less perfect system.
    I cannot read or write CD-RWs anymore and I've just discovered a data DVD which the MacMini will not read.
    This was NOT the case before the upgrade and it is not a problem with the CD's or DVD's as they can be read via an external (firewire) drive.
    What the **** have you done, Apple, to screw up my computer hardware through a software update?! Huh!?!?!?! FIX IT!! Or tell me how I can get back to 10.6.5 and I swear I will never ever touch the "Software Update" button. I'm done with that. Jesus, maybe I should switch back to Windows.
    (Really, I'm done with System upgrades. From now on, if the system runs well, no updates anymore. Not even if it's an "important security upgrade". Screw it. I'm speechless.

    This is both a rant and a 4x duplicated post, both of which are a violation of the [terms of use of these forums|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa#terms]. It's very likely it will be removed.
    If you read this before then, note that these two events (the update and the failure of your drive) are not related. This is not a known issue, and for that matter, only a firmware update can ruin hardware... a software update cannot ruin your hardware.
    Calm yourself down, and once you can behave civilly again, call Apple for service on the drive.
