Someone from apple please read

i know a few people are having this issue, but i though i would make a personal appeal.
i have an iphone 3g and i loved it, worked brilliantly, then yesterday itunes tells me there is an update for my iphone, so i update it, as i always do.
now i have an awful piece of technology.
1. it is slow to do anything
2. the battery life is terrible now.
3. apps hang for a while when opening and closing.
4. some times apps hang and cause the phone to reboot.
5. typing is laggy from pressing the button to it appearing on screen.
please please let me downgrade it on my PC to 3.13 so i can use it easily again, as it is just frustratingly slow and irritating.
i have rebooted the device, and also reset it back to scratch.

Looks like there are a lot of people having the same problem, look at this thread, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2469914&start=0&tstart=0

  • I'm from Brazil and I would like to know if the unlocked iPhone 5 which advertesed on the Apple Store webpage works fine in Brazil. Could someone from Apple please confirm that?

    Hello Apple Support Team,
    I'm from Brazil and I would like to know if the unlocked iPhone 5 which is advertesed on the US Apple Store webpage works fine in Brazil. Could someone from Apple please confirm that for me?
    Thanks in advance.

    The iPhone bought unlocked from the Apple store in the US will work in Brazil on GSM. Nevertheless the LTE frequencies might be different.
    Be aware that:
    You will NOT be able to order from the US Apple online store. You will have to go to a physical Apple store in the US.
    The warranty is only valid in the US and you will not be able to get warranty service in Brazil.
    With all of that, why not buy the iPhone in Brazil?

  • Its not a question, but i just hope someone from apple can read this, i just wish you can make a card just like itunes card, for ipad wi-fi card. would be convenience.

    its not a question, but i just hope someone from apple can read this, i just wish you can make a card just like itunes card, for ipad wi-fi card. would be convenience.

    That's why he gave you the link to make the suggestion.
    But returning to your proposal ... Apple does not sell any of the "wifi" connections. It would be up to providers of service to sell giftcards, and perhaps Boingo or some of other airport-commercial WiFi firms do. I can't think of any other place I've been asked to pay for WiFi.
    Now Verizon and AT&T, as well as other providers in other countries, could sell Gift Cards... and again, perhaps they do, but you'll have to check with them or make the suggestions there. It's really not an Apple issue, as they don't sell or provide any connections, just the hardware to make them.

  • WOULD SOMEONE FROM APPLE PLEASE RESPOND RE: NEW UPDATE & CD BURNING ISSUES.

    I am an OS X user however my husband uses ITunes on his PC and since updating to the latest version can not burn anything at all- neither imported music nor purchased music. And it appears that this has been going on for some time now and there has been not one reply from Apple as to how to remedy the situation.
    At least acknowledge that there is a problem and that you're working on it?
    Thank you!

    This just ****** me off further because I already know how this is gonna go. Apple tech support doesn't have a clue and says it must be with the drive manufacturer. WD laughed in my face and said how about you try this with any of the other, say, 150 known sata combinations out there and then come back to me. We already know the answer to this, the fault is not WD's. No one else in the world is reporting this issue. Only G5 users. I don't want my money back on the drives. I want the drives to work, and the 25-35% speed increase that comes with booting from these drives.
    For once, Im not going to sit around on my butt and wait 6 months for this to be recognized and 'maybe' fixed. I am going to do something about it.

    See? I get chided for posting my crash reports here and really, I understand that. It's over the top but, this just proves my point.
    All of a sudden the replies stop to my problem and I am STILL locked out of iTunes. Setting up a different user account just so I can play iTunes is NOT a reasonable option.
    I've posted of this problem several times and refuse to believe this is a problem only happening with me. My household has 3 Macs. 4 iPods and countless iTunes downloads which translates into thousands (with 5 digits) of $$ spent.
    And I can't get 7.6.1 to work. I can't downgrade to 7.5 (Apple has done something to prevent this apparently). I can't even watch the movie rental I downloaded (which is when the trouble started). That's right. Right after downloading the rental, iTunes became unusable.
    My frustration continues...........

  • Can someone from Apple confirm sync issue.....

    Q. Can someone from Apple please confirm that they are aware of some sync issues that is causing itunes 9.2.0.61 to crash???
    Q. Can we expect a new version of Itunes any time soon?
    I have iTunes running on a windows 7 machine & two ipod touches (Both 3G running the power draining IOS4). My ipod touch Sync's OK however my partner (who uses the same computer and software) has Itunes 'stop & quit' when trying to sync her music. The program quits out at the same point when it reaches the same music track. I did start removing the tracks that has the problem but it was getting to the point that I was removing a lot of stuff - stuff that plays OK in the iTunes software and previously sync'ed OK with the old software.
    The most annoying thing is that Apple (as far as I have seen) isn’t even acknowledging any kind of problem. The same could be said of the ridiculous battery consumption under IOS4.

It's lazy and poor customer support....
    Well, Apple's affiliated with it because it's their site, and about their products. That doesn't necessarily mean that they have to be a part of User Discussions. (after all, at least they aren't false advertising right?)
    I mean think about it, Facebook is affiliated with your Facebook profile right? Does that mean that the Facebook owners are going to meddle with your personal affairs? Probably not.
    I wouldn't consider these forums as CUSTOMER support, more as PEER support. Apple provides customer support other ways, by FAQs, Apple Stores, and Contacting Them. I'm not saying one way whether Apple is good or bad with this, I am simply stating they offer other customer support options.

  • Ipod not connecting again, apple please read this.

    First let me state that I made posts awhile back about my Ipod touch not being able to be recognized by itunes at all and just as a camera by windows. Now every single guide did nothing to help and the FEW people that posted had posted things I already did that did not help.
    HOWEVER the version of Itunes that was prior to the one I just downloaded connected PERFECTLY with no issues.
    But I just updates and wouldnt you know it, the connection problem is BACK. Apple please read this, the last version of Itunes had something different with how it connected to the Ipod...PLEASE bring that back, its so inconvenient not being able to connect to my own Ipod
    If someone wants to post a reply that might help feel free...but everything on this website and even a few others not posted here have not worked, this is mostly me praying that Apple reads it...that tiny difference on how it connected made a huge difference with my computer.

    Thanks. I worked out a simpler method of turning off the internet access - just switching off my wireless modem. Either way, this works and with the PC not connected to the internet, all three Apple devies will sync.
    Thinking about it now, I had a similar problem a few versions ago which I recognised because with Home Sharing on and connected to the internet iTunes was trying to find files from someone in another hotel room who also sharing the hotel's wireless network. My devices would not sync then either. This seemed to be resolved with subsequent itunes upgrades until now ....
    Thanks for the advice. Let's hope Apple's next 'update' actually updates itunes so it can sync Apple devices whilst simultaneously connected to the internet (not a big ask really).

  • Apple please read. Simple Feature needed for iTunes.

    In a future version of iTunes please make it that when you select multiple songs you can still access the OPTIONS features in the Get Info tab. Thank you.

  • Would someone at Apple please take serious steps to locate and block the bots that are attempting to take over Apple IDs?

    I regularly get e-mails (which appear to be legit upon intense scrutiny) from Apple regarding the request for a reset of my Apple ID. Given how often and the timing of these e-mails (spead out and not bunched up like it would be for someone who actually mistook my ID for their own), it is clear that someone is making a serious effort to break into my account (and logically millions of other accounts). Would someone at Apple please take just as serious steps to locate these scumbags and put them down?
    Thank you.

    Thank you.
    I've submitted the feedback where you've suggested. I hope someone will takw the problem seriously because there may come a day when the e-mails will end and my bank account will just get emptied by some cracker* who has found a flaw in the system and exploited it.
    *This is the correct term, "hacker" is a style of programmer, while a "cracker" cracks computer-based security. Blame the Media and Hollywood for getting the terms wrong.

  • Can someone at Apple please help me with iPhone 4s battery life?

    I bought two iphone 4s 16gig's the day they were released from Sprint and am having horrible battery life. I love the phone and its features, but I have tried everything I have found in the discussion groups and in other forums online and am still getting terrible battery life from the 4s's.
    For example, I charged my 4s when I got home last night and then once it was at 100% charge at bedtime, took it off my charger in order to use that same charger to charge my ipad overnight. This morning, the fully charged 4s had dropped to 45% battery life...without ANY use whatsover overnight...! I just asked my wife how her 4s is doing today and hers is down to 63% since this morning with very, very little usage. (She hardly ever uses any of the data features, etc., only makes phone calls).
    Something really weird also happened to the battery life yesterday while I was flying home from Venezuela. I had charged my phone overnight and did not use it at all on the way to the airport, then turned it off on the plane from Maracaibo to Miami. When I arrived in Miami, I turned it on, checked my email, sent a few text messages and also some Heytell messages during my 1:45 minute layover before turning it off before getting on the plane. Our flight was delayed due to mechanical problems and I turned the phone one in order to show my seat mates how Siri works. When I turned it on, I was shocked to find the battery percentage had dropped to sixty some percent...!
    I left T-Mobile after 8+ years as a very satisfied customer specifically to get the new 4s. Was running jailbroken 3gs on T-Mobile without any problem and much, much better battery life. Needless to say, I am very unhappy with what we are dealing with. I wish someone from Apple would at least tell us what is going on or simply replace our phones if it is a hardware issue.

    You need to check out some of the other threads on battery issues (but not the very long one) in this forum.  There are a lot of suggestions from users who seems to solved the problem.
    But you won't get any Apple input here, as this is a user-to-user forum and Apple usually doesn't respond to out posts.

  • Bought an iphone 5 from craigslist and it was stolen, some one from apple please help me.

  • ATTN: APPLE, Please read this!!

    I love my new Iphone 4 but but please provide a way to turn off multitasking. It wastes the battery if not used.

    I have a funny feeling that someone from Apple does monitor these forums...
    Sure - somebody monitors the forums for compliance the the Terms of Use. But those people just that: forum administrators. They are not engineers or policy makers.
    You can go up to the guard at a military base and complain about American foreign policy but it won't do you any good. Or, you can write letters to your Congressman and to the President. It still might not do any good, but at least the message will get to someone who can do something about your concern.

    How can i speak with someone from apple live chat??I want to ask something

    Yes, that is the key to it.   In North America live chat is available, though I would question the value of it.   It usually takes ten times longer to 'chat' than to talk or even send an eMail.  Why don't you ask your question here; by far the most realistic means of attracting a reasonably accurate answer.

    I need to generate a still shot from from a video I made with my camera. I would like to accomplish this task using a single application. If this is not possible with my MacBook Pro as purchased from Apple, please recommend which applications I can purchase that include this feature. Thanks in advance.

    For FREE do the following:
    When you get to othe part of the video you want a still shot from, put the video on pause. 
    Take a screen shot:  Apple>Shift>4 - which will produce a cross hair so you can manually select which part of the video you want.Check inside either your Applications or Utility folder for an app called Grab.  Will do the above with just a single click.
    If you still want to purchase software, suggest that you do a Google & MacUpdate search.  This way, you can find exactly what you want.
