Technical issues with Apple maps (visibility, routes)

I am finding the arial views extremely unclear. For example, my house (Katsushika-ku, Tokyo) cannot be made out at all. Is there any way of cleaning this up?
Also, it's practically a straight line (just one turn) from my house to Shinkoiwa station (the nearest train station). But Apple maps has me going in a funny zig-zag pattern, and then walking all the way around the station for some reason to enter from the south entrance. I don't suppose there is any fix for that, is there?
Thanks,
doug

The map doesn't even include block numbers: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8riisipiu8rafs3/Photo%20Sep%2020%2C%2011%2011%2043%20P M.png
It seems that maps.google.com doesn't include street view and some other things in mobile safari.

Issue with heat maps refresh process in EID 3.1?

Issue with Heat Maps in EID 3.1? Heats maps don't refresh unless you go back to home page and then again go back to the Endeca app.
In Oracle Sample app if we open the Map tab we will see that Milwaukee is really hot in the heat map. now if we filter the data to just show data from 100 miles within Orlando, FL then the map will get refreshed to show that area but the colors on heat maps do not change.
Now if we keep the refinements same and go back to home page and again go back to sample app and maps tabs then it will still show area of 100 miles within Orlando, FL which is good but now heat map would have updated and it would show us correct color.
Now if we remove the refinement then it would show complete US map as hot which is again wrong.
I have observed this issue in chrome browser as well as firefox.
Is there anyway to overcome this issue?

This issue was resolved after applying latest patch from Oracle.

When they un-upgrade iPhoto email templates? Along with Apple Maps, another software I won't use anymore.

You can go back by restoreing your backup of the iPhoto library from the previous version a installing the previous version for its original source
Of course I use iPhoto - and I have not idea what
Do you use iPhoto? What version are you using and have you sent photos using it from the iPhoto and used the older templates?
means
one last time if you want help you have to start by being percise and shaing information - for example "older version" is of no help since there are 40 or 50 older versions
again
Sorry but if you have a question then you need to provide information - what are you talking about? What version of iPhoto and what OS version do you have? What upgrade are you talking about? what e-mail client are you using?

Sound issues with Apple TV show rentals/"choppy" sound quality

I have been renting "Lost" episodes from the iTunes store on my new Apple TV. There is something wrong with the sound quality. It's very choppy. Almost like a fan is cutting up the sound. Anyone else experience this problem? What's the fix?

Hello there, cjb1992.

So, about a week ago my macbook pro started having lots of issues: wifi connectivity, slow performance, sound issues, spotlight wasn't working. After going through the issues with apple support, they decided the best course of action was to erase the hard drive and do a reinstall. Since I have a recent backup this seemed like a good enough option. They were kind enough to send me a copy of the snow leopard disk to do the install since we couldn't get it to complete through the disk utility. Not sure why, since it says we are fully connected, it just never completed.
Anyway, so now that you have the background here is the new issue. The macbook pro keeps spitting out the disk I'm trying to install from. Disk utility and using the 'Startup Disk' function from the apple menu doesn't read the disk.
Can anyone suggest a solution to this vexing problem?
Thanks in advance.

Jeremy.Laurin,
have you tried agb76’s approach here?

Why did carefully over heating my 4s restore the wifi function? This, after 2 months of mysteriously grey out wifi buttons, loads of time trying to resolve issue with apple tech only to be told I must pay $199 to repair the problem. I'm disillusioned now

Is the Wi-Fi button greyed out? Try this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
Also, make a backup to iTunes of the device. Then restore it as a new device. If you still have wi-fi greyed out, then contact Apple again, and explain that you believe you have a hardware issue. They may still ask for a $19 deposit, but if it is actually hardware related, then you won't be charged the $19. Only if it is software related do you get charged that $19.

What might be issues with Apple TV's compatibility with Samsung LED TV's, specifically the 5550 or 5500.

What might be issues with Apple TV's compatibility with Samsung LED TV's, specifically the 5550 or 5500?

I am shopping, with a focus on Samsung, and was told by a Samsung rep their TV's were not compadible with Apple TV. I found this difficult to believe so I wanted to pursue with persons knowledgeable with Apple TV.
If I find that Samsung is not compadible I wanted to determine which lines, e.g. Sony, might be compadibile, as I wanted to use Apple TV.
Thank yoyu

IPad air 2 not downloading or updating apps. Is this an issue with apple?

I Just got the iPad Air 2 Wifi 2 weeks ago. I was able to only update a few apps which was very slow, then nothing all together. Can't download or update my apps. Keeps turning in a circle and not loading. Is this an issue with apple? This problem started with my iPad 2 before I upgraded thinking there might be little or no support for it by now. I cannot be going to iTunes every time I need to download an app. Doesn't make any sense.

Thanks Brian. Did that already severally. Didn't resolve it. Had to had reset and reset settings before it started working. It's good now. Thanks once more.

We need a new section entitled: Issues With Apple Customer Service

"This Feedback about the Discussions forum is intended for questions about how to use Apple Discussions and for general constructive feedback about how the Discussions system is operating or how it may be improved. Please use this forum appropriately. Failure to do so may result in your posting privileges to this forum being disabled.
If your question concerns a hardware or software technical issue, please do not post in this forum — instead, go to the Apple Discussions Homepage, select an appropriate product category and follow the links until you reach the correct forum for your post, then click the Post New Topic link. "
Alright, I have a suggestion for improvement. We need a new forum section for complaints about the way Apple is treating us.
To make sure I'm being clear, let me give you an example of just such a post that may be included in such a section.
I ordered online the family packs of Leopard, iWork '08 and iLife '08 on November 6th. I received an email telling me my order had been shipped on November 7th.
On November 9th I decided to check the progress of my shippment by logging on to FedEx. To my surprise, it had been delivered! Not to me but another party. I could download a PDF from FedEx and see the signature.
After trying to deal with FedEx for a few days I was finally told to deal with Apple because they would have to initiate the investigation. Fine. These things happen.
On 11/13/2007 I spoke with an Apple Customer Service Representative and received an Apple Issue Number and Case Number. I was told that it should be resolved in a few days. It wasn't.
11/20/2007, Here's where it gets interesting. In talking with them again I explained that since my signature was not on the FedEx ticket it had not been delivered properly if at all. I explained that since FedEx was clearly at fault the package should be shipped again. Finally they agreed. I was told that my package would be shipped and to expect an email.
11/23/2007, I was told again that nothing would be shipped until after an investigation had been completed. So did they lie? I spoke with a manager who kept repeating that he was sorry for the mis-communication. That became very frustrating to say the least. Remember, FedEx requires a signature. Without it or my permission to deliver somewhere else they must deliver to me and get my signature. The FedEx PDF clearly shows another persons signature.
Equally frustrating is the fact that they will not keep me informed as to the status. I have to call them and wait on hold. I did get a couple of emails with text along the lines of, "We continue to work with our carrier on your lost package. "
However, there is no way to reply to these form letters. The only way to stay in touch with Apple is to call and be put on hold.
Twice, after giving them my order number and being put on hold "while they look up my records" or whatever, the call was disconnected. I'm not saying they did so on purpose but the results were the same. Another call, another round of giving my order number and explaining to yet again a new person the details of the situation.
I've had many problems with Apple since becoming a customer in June of 2006 but I just can't let this go. I need a place to warn others. If you buy something, you might be better off buying it from a store instead of on-line. This kind of information is needed to warn others concerning the business practices of Apple should something go wrong. This is why we need a new section for putting forth such complaints.

It seems to me that the real problem here is with FedEx, as I have encountered similar types of problems with them in the past. Even though a signature is required, I have had packages left on my porch. When I enquired, someone had actually signed (i.e.forged) my name! Other times it has been left on my porch with some other signature. When I call to complain, FedEx just seems to think there is no problem as long as I got my package. They seem totally unconcerned even though a signature is required and I definitely did not authorize delivery with no signature. I have expressed my concerns directly to Apple, but have no way of knowing if it has done any good. I think this problem is worse with FedEx ground, as that is contracted out. Around here anyway, i think the drivers will sign the ticket and leave the package just so they won't have to make another trip. It's not right, and it's not supposed to happen this way, but i know it does.
Apple entrusted your package to FedEx in good faith that it would be delivered to you, and that your signature would be required for you to receive it. That should have resulted in you receiving it. however, due to a false signature, you did not. Clearly, FedEx is responsible.
If the package was supposedly delivered to your address, but has a false signature, I wonder if the driver might have signed the delivery ticket or gotten someone else to sign it and just left it on your porch or something like that. If so, it could have been subsequently stolen. If something like this happened, it might explain why things are so bogged down in the investigation at Apple. From their viewpoint, the package was delivered and a signature was obtained and they are probably being stonewalled by FedEx.
A user to user discussion forum such as Apple Discussions won't help with delivery problems. It's best to report them directly to Apple as you have done. If you continue to have problems, you can call Apple and ask to speak to Apple Customer Relations. They may well be able to cut through the red tape. You could also express your concern in the "Feedback to Apple" section. Maybe if enough people complain, they might consider awarding the shipping contract to someone else. Or perhaps the other shippers are even worse.
One of my recent shipments was evidently lost in a typhoon. But when I called Apple, a replacement was sent out immediately. This is more what I would expect of Apple, and you have every right to expect similar treatment.
If FedEx delivered to the wrong address and got a wrong signature, they should be expected to go back and retrieve the package. But if they delivered to your address and did not get your signature, then you would be well within your rights to go to your local Better Business Bureau and file a complaint against FedEx. That might possibly get some action of some sort. FedEx cannot ignore the BBB as easily as they can ignore you. If your signature was actually forged, you will certainly be able to prove that the signature on the delivery ticket is definitely not yours. And you could forward the BBB complaint to Apple. I don't know if this would help or just muddy the water, but it would put a little more pressure on FedEx I would think.
In the meantime, I would certainly speak to Apple Customer Relations and see if they can help you out here. They want happy Apple customers, and I think they would like to know about the extreme frustrations you are experiencing through no fault of your own.
I sympathize with your problems, and I hope that you are able to get them resolved soon.
Good luck!

Norton 360 issues with apple tv

My Apple TV 2 will not stay connected with my home share. I know iTunes is running, I know home share is set up in iTunes. I know my apple TV is connected to my wireless router. After I shut everything down and restart then Apple TV will find the home share but after a day or two it will lose it and I have to restart everything. I am wondering if it has something to do with my Norton 360 firewall. I have tried disabling the firewall but that doesn't seem to do it. First, any ideas what the problem is? I didn't want to just assume it was with the firewall.

there are often issues with these
preinstallled boatware firewalls and virus scanners
which are there mainly because the company paid the laptop
maker to put them there and expect the don't know any better
user to start paying after the 30days trial / first fix is free thing
just disabling the firewall may not be enough you may have to restart the computer too

Aperture 3.03 sync issue with Apple TV

Hi to all,
I would like to ask you for a help in the following issue:
When I sync Aperture with Apple TV I then see that only masters were transferred. When I make some photo adjustments (without creating a version from master) they are not visible on the Apple tv. I can only see a master photo without any adjustments.
How can I transfer a photo with adjustments made on it? Do I have to create a Version from master and then sync only that version with all adjustment made on it?

Related question from me.
I've got my Aperture library on an external hard drive connected to my Airport Extreme. Now version 3.0.3 of Aperture opens beautifully and reads my library, but when I try to sync my photos with my Apple TV then iTunes doesn't recognise any photos in my library, although it does recognise the projects and albums . :-s
Any ideas? Looking like a bug to me at the moment...

WRT120N connection issues with Apple devices

my family has a plethora of devices we connect to the internet wirlessly through our relatively new WRT120N router, including a desktop, 3 laptops, 2 iPhones, 2 iPod Touches, an iPad, and a Playstation 3.
The wireless on the laptops and desktop (all are PCs) is fine, but the wireless on the Apple devices is terrible. every 5 seconds or so the signal will drop and the devices will lose the connection with the wifi. You have to go to settings and wireless to reconnect, but that will only last you another 15 seconds (if you're lucky). I have updated the firmware on the router, but it didn't do anything.
Does anybody have an idea of how to fix this problem? It's ridiculously annoying, and I have a feeling can be fixed with relative ease, especially since it's just the Apple products that are affected.
Thanks!

@ jimmypat1221,
Same here and I did some research and here’s what I found. I accessed the router settings by typing the 192.168.1.1 (http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=856544c9d38d4e7a870493667aac568b_20603.xml&pid=80&...) and I found out that the firmware is not updated, so I upgraded the firmware my self. I downloaded first the firmware (http://support.linksys.com/en-apac/support/routers/WRT120N) and saved it to my desktop screen. Going back to the router settings and I just follow this link on how to upgrade (http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=96&vw=1&articleid=4030) and it was successfully upgraded. I set my set settings on the router with channel 11 and the security was wpa2 personal. From then on I don’t have issue with any of my apple devices.

Sound issue with apple tv

hi ,
I am getting sound issue with my apple tv recently. when you navigate around the apple tv menu, the sounds are there but when i try to play any video, the sound is not coming out. (Same with airplay)
The issue can be fix with restarting my apple TV. However, i want a permanent fix. it's not APPLE product at all to always restart to get the apple TV to play sound.
Anyone know any permanent fix? All the software are latest.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
The following article(s) may help you.
