Thank you Steve Jobs

I bought my first macbook and I absolutely love it, thank you Steve Jobs for making computer so easy and yes all those Mac Vs. PC ads are true, there is 100% not a single bloatware like all those Windows PCs do.

This is my 3rd Apple notebook computer in approximately 10 years:o) I initially had a green "toilet seat", which I traded/upgraded for a 2003 Apple ibook G4. Just two days ago, I upgraded once again for a 2008 Apple macbook. The only minor problem that I ever had was with the ibook's trackpad, which Apple gladly and promptly repaired/replaced.
Once you can get used to the differences(and applications) between Apple and Windows software, I think you'll find that Apple's are superior to the other computer/software companies.

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,

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.

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.

Thank You, Steve

Dear Steve --
Thank you for offering to give us early IPhone adopters a $100 Apple Store credit. That is very kind of you because you have nothing to apologize for.
People buy electronic and other high-end purchases (like cars, furniture, cell phones, designer fashioins, TVs, etc) and then find within a few weeks, the product "on sale," tied to a rebate or other promotion. Rarely, does the company give prior purchasers the cost differences, especially those bought 60 days before.
I think some folks owe you and Apple an apologize for the childish rants on this site. I don't think they would be happy with anything you did except (1) give them the full $200 difference, (2) give them a free 8 gig IPhone if they chose to originally purchase a 4G -- as if for some reason it won't work any more or they didn't have that option in the first place -- or (3) all of the above.
I wonder what these people will demand when Apple announces an updated IPhone with new features, more storage or a different price as you inevitably will probably early next year?
I am an Apple customer, not an employee. In fact, I'm a pretty nontechnical customer, which is why I love Apple. Your products are not only cutting edge, but cool, fun and easy to use. I've enjoyed my IPhone and find it the best cell phone I've had. I really needed a phone -- mine was literally hanging on one screw -- and I hobbled along for 3 months until the IPhone came out. I have no regrets for purchasing it when it first came out. Being the center of attention was fun while it lasted.
Thanks for the $100 store credit. Again, that's what makes Apple so different from other companies -- you DO listen to your customers. I will using my credit to buy IWorks (which I had planned to but now can get it "free") and maybe an IPhone auto charger.
A Happy IPhone-Apple customer
PS -- Steve, let's see how I get flamed for my thank you note.
Bodhiness
Houston, Texas
PPSS -- You don't even need to apologize for that Performa I bought as my first Apple computer. Heck, you weren't even with the company at the time!!!

I'm actually really happy with Steve's letter, as well as the rebate.
Of course, in this market, Apple had absolutely no legal, and **** near no ethical, responsibility to do that.
But it is we who make the market what it is; Companies offering services, but defined in our culture by their bottom line; and consumers, who often feel like sheep in pasture of price-points and profit margins.
As Mr. Jobs states, Apple enthusiasts (and, dare I say, Apple Fanatics) have a high expectation of Apple. They have grown accustomed to a high-touch, if slightly higher ticketed, line of products, which tend to foresee the customers' desires in the usage experience.
But there is also the Marketplace Experience; the sense of trust, which is fleeting, between consumer and company. In our marketplace, there is a growing expectation that mistrust will be part of the Marketplace Experience.
So kudos to both the complainers (particularly if the complaints were polite, but bewildered) and Apple.
The complainers, in the most notable show of dissatisfaction with a business decision in my memory, demanded a right to be a voice and be heard; to state what they can and can't abide in the Marketplace Experience. In a capitalism, this is necessary, and has been sadly lacking in our current marketplace.
Apple acknowledged to those same consumers that they had a point; while the price drop was aboveboard, and perfectly in their rights, they had an image to maintain; trust to maintain. And they felt the need to express, for once, why they made that particular decision from a modern business sensibility.
So, holy chao, we had a dialogue in the marketplace. In less than 24 hours. At the speed of light. Where the consumer got verbal, and the Company remembered what their bigger purpose, beyond profit, is; to serve the consumer what they want.
And a lot of us crave the trust between consumer and company that most of us Apple enthusiasts, the early-buying, hardcore fans, have had. In my case, that trust worked both ways; I did have some few experiences with Apple that were less than stellar, to say the least, but I trusted their products, their sensibilities, and understood that the market is sometime predatory, and I cut them slack on some of those issues, knowing that pushing the resistance to service was going to leave both parties angry and frustrated.
Well, this time, it happened to enough of the faithful at the same time, and, to tell the truth, because our market has devolved in consumer-orientation for some time, Apple had no responsibility to do bupkis.
But the kicker is that they did something. There will be those saying "It's not enough" and those who say "Why are you coddling those early-adopters?" (Of course, the answer to that should be simple to see for a company with a dedicated and enthusiastic fan-base.)
But the fact that a dialogue and compromise could be achieved so quickly, well, that's a testament to Apple and the consumer; they both recognized that they make the market what it is, and can make it better, since they can't expect it to be perfect.
Pretty neat moment for all involved, I think.

Thank you Steve; My Trust Restored

Glad to know you do still care about your loyal fan base.
I don't mind a price drop; $200 was just too much too fast.
The $100 store credit sure takes the sting out of the bite.
Thanks!

My thoughts exactly

Thank (GOD) Steve Jobs for Safari 5.0!

I LOVE IT!
It fixed all the problems I was having with Safari 4.0.5.
No more issues,
I am in heaven.
It works perfectly & lickity-split fast.
I have no more questions to ask.
Thanx

i guess the kinks are being worked out.

Steve jobs have you seen Logitech Revue google tv for only 99 bucks ya'll are supposed to be the cutting edge from the iphone 1 to now the 4 i have owned them all i currently own the ipad 1 and two and i love your products but i must say catch up

Here it is in question form
How can logitec and google sell something so affordable That is not so futuristic ? From the first to the fourth the Iphone has been my companion
In many so ways . Currently I own the Ipad 1 and 2 Let me tell you now the ipad 2 camera ***** compare it to the iphone 4
Steve Jobs thank you for your vision but my question still stands . 99 bucks even if it is crap i.ll roll the dice your turn

If it does the job for you and you are happy with it then that's all that matters. I assume you are unaware that you are one of a very small minority as google Tv actually had negative sales last quarter, yes that's right more people returned them for their money back than were sold.
Did you have a question.

Is there a way to transfer or copy all my apps to another iPad with a different account? I was required in my job to use the one at work, but I would like to also see my current set ups and apps as in my personal one. Thank you so much!

Is there a way to transfer or copy all my apps to another iPad with a different account? I was required in my job to use the one at work, but I would like to also see my current set ups and apps as in my personal one. Thank you so much!

What I suggest is that you try to pair your apple ID with you company ipad and see if it works.
Here is why::
I believe that the Apple rules let you. They are something like:
-- for a shared iDevice, you may put the app on one device
-- for a device you use exclisively, you may put the app on five (or some number) of iDevices
I'm not lawyer, so how you interpred this is a question.
Now, you need to figure out how to do this.
In the past at least, apple used this terminalogy.
    Personal
    Institution
    Layered. combines personal & institution.
It depends on how your company has configured the iPad.
I have read where you can have upto three apple id per device.

It sounds like you are looking for a program like Typinator.
It isn't free, and the site doesn't specify compatibility with any OS above 10.7.
As of today, the latest release is dated May 29th, 2012.

Thank you. I did not realize that there was a print center on my iPhone 5,I was sending it too many jobs back to back,

Thank you for your response. My iPhone 5 is now air printing. I found out that there is a print center on my iPhone and I was overloading it by sending it too many jobs at once.

OPEN LETTER TO STEVE JOBS

I'm not a developper, I'm not an English speaking guy (so sorry for my english) and this is an off topic message but I need to say something....
I have just read abut Steve Job's resignation and I think Apple would never be the same without him. I've read a lot of about Steve and I know he was involved in every little step of every apple product (from the initial design to the final product)
Did you know, for instance, that the Iphone has got just one button thanks to Jobs obstination to simplicity?. Nobody thougt it could be possible but him. He has the ability to transmit his energy and faith to everyone in the company to make his ideas possible.
I'm a mac user 7 years ago, not much, I know, but it is time enough to have my own oppinion about apple and what Jobs represents to the Company.
Mr. Jobs...thanks for my Iphone 4, its simplicity and efficiency that everybody wants to copy from, for my Imac Intel based , for my Lion OS in which I work on what I need without wasting my time in fixing OS problems, for my Ipod and above all...for make me feel I'm in touch with the future every time I use anything from apple.
I hope you'll be in the heart of apple for many many years (even not from you CEO position) ank keep all of us dreaming of the future everytime we see a "bitten apple".
Regards,
C. Llerandi

*1. All Customers should be treated Equal.*
From the ones who purchased the iPhone on Day 1 to the ones who bought an iPhone yesterday. There should be no difference or discrimination on timeline.
Nor should be any difference based on the whims of store personnel. Yesterday some customers got $200 refunds even if they were outside of the 14 day window.
Having set this precedent Apple should follow it for all customers

ITunes Truncate Track Ending, Unsolved in 2+ Years: My Letter to Steve Jobs

I have posted this problem twice in this forum. Twice they were answered with something totally irrelevant, and then marked "Solved" and deleted.
Finally, I am going to mail the CD, and this letter to Steve Jobs, to let him know personally the bug, after so many years of iTunes, and the bullish way his stuff has been treating my questions.
Dear Steve,
My name is Leping, Ph.D. in Physics, working in the San Francisco Bay area as a senior medical imaging scientist. I am a long time and loyal Mac user and promoter -- actually I have not yet really needed to use a PC in my life (except for serious music ripping -- see below), and in the graduate school days our five+ million dollar NMR lab was run from a Mac.
Unfortunately, I am also an avid classical music enthusiasts, and part time musician. Needless to say I am now with my 6th iPod, and I believe I understand all the bells and whistles of iTunes. I am not talking about the higher-level bit-wise accurate CD ripping, that is only available on the PCs, through the EAC software, since also, as a well-regarded and published photographer, I know when is the time to use the pro level applications, such as Adobe Photoshop instead of iPhoto. For my photography works please check out my website at http://www.lepingzha.com -- I will be more than glad if you and/or Apple have use of any of my images.
However, I know a long time iTunes bug, that have never been addressed. Actually I posted it twice to the Apple web discussion forums, but was twice offered irrelevant answers, followed by the subject flagged as "Solved", and subsequently deleted.
Please open the still sealed compact disc in this letter, which I got in a retailer just to show you the problem. The title, Deustsche Grammaphon (DG) B0003902, is "Lang Lang plays Rachmaninov Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 2 and Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini". It happens I am a Chinese American, but I want you to listen a bit into the disc not because I am a fan of Mr. Lang's playing -- as a matter of fact I actually not, but for the much more serious reason.
Please rip the Rhapsody in iTunes, to any format (AAC, Apple Lossless (ALAC), WAV, MP3...) starting from track number 4. A few tracks after that point would be adequate -- these are very short (10-30 seconds) tracks that truly highlight the problem. Listen to the resulting music, and the original CD, you will immediately hear the big problem, start right at the end of track 4 and at the end of every of these short tracks -- fraction of the ending second(s) are harshly chopped off, brutally truncated, and uncover-ably lost.
The same thing happens anywhere I use the Apple codecs, for example, converting the EAC (bit-wise correctly, as confirmed by its check-sum feature against the known sum database) ripped WAV files to ALAC or AAC, for instance, either on a Mac or a PC. The very same thing just happen, while there is no problem to any other non-Apple codecs (mainly to flavours of MP3 -- since Apple has the AAC and ALCA codec nobody bothered to write their own, I guess). So for our serious classical listeners, the iTunes and the Apple codecs are very problematic if not useless in many cases (operas immediately in my mind)!
Please alse not that, over the time the same problem has always been reported here, there, and basically everywhere, but every time there are gurus made comments which does not solve the issue. The followings are some recent examples.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6246698&#6246698
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6513266&#6513266
I hope you, my much respected and praised Steve, realize, that, how could, and mostly unthinkable, after so many great years, there can be still such very basic and serious issue the iTunes codecs can not handle in the right way? Does the track length information get truncated somewhere (or floored to an integer)? Why it is so difficult to acknowledge such a basic issue, and to have it fixed in the next release?
Thanks for your time and hope you enjoy the music.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,
Leping Zha, Ph.D.
San Mateo, California, U.S.A.

Finally found the reason: in the track's option field for some reason the "stop time" flag is checked and the timing is always about a second earlier than the actual track length.
Searched Doug's scripts and there is nothing to batch reset, or unflag the "stop time" tag. Anyone has a better idea rather than trying to deselect the tag track by track?
Once the "stop time" is unset the converted tracks will play through without truncations at the end.

IMac either or has been remotely accessed, has malicious code, is hacked and/or all of the aforementioned or something that I have not yet researched. With my health issues, my Mac keeps me from thinking about the pain and disability I have. Thank you.

Hello,
I'm giving it one more chance and then Mac goes into trash. My iMac is either remotely accessed, perhaps malicious code, hacked and/or all of the aforementioned. I am not savvy in these areas. Please read some of the many symptoms and if you can assist me -- I am beyond grateful. If you want to say it is my fault because I allowed somebody to use my computer or other nonsense please do not waste my time or yours. This is serious and has been going on for a period of time that is longer then I can remember!
I have a neighbor, lives in my apartment building, 'had' physical access to my iMac. Shortly after this I started to have problems that beyond any nightmare I have ever heard of - whether it be Windows or Apple! Please feel free to ask me any question(s) that might help me rid my iMac of this malicious act as the police have been useless -- say they do not have equipment to check my Mac. FBI can't b bothered.
It is more then clear that a person(s) has access and has messed up the OS, among other terrible things. He took over my Facebook account months ago, posted as though he was me. He also prevented me from getting back into FB and Yahoo to close those connected accounts. Went to an Apple store, under protection of their router and removed FB/Yahoo accounts. The pages that were showing at home turned out to be fake pages controlled by him. (Think they are called "defaced").
Anytime I did a 7X or zero out clean install -- he was there before I even hooked up the router!!!
It came to a point that I can no longer even get to the erase/Utility/install from my apartment so I took it to Apple more then once. Besides erase/install, I turned off ALL Sys Preferences that could alert him to Mac. The last time I received a gray Install CD and was told to take it out of the building and do another erase/install. There is no sense of going through this until I know if/how to get rid of him.
Also when I first sign on I ALWAYS get a 192.168.100.11. I do NOT have a router. I then go to System Preferences to Network and click "renew DHCP" several times before I get an IP addy! I am not savvy in this area but do feel that this is a major clue.
Passwords have been changed, master password is not something I can access which prevents me updating, etc., etc.
I will not bombard you with every detail as that would take several pages. I am beyond desperate. Will be happy to provide further details to serious responders only.
Thank you.
'REQUIRE ASSISTANCE'
Heartfelt sympathy to the many family members, friends, people who loved Steve Jobs even though they never met him -- RIP Steve. You are missed.

If you really believe that your system has been compromised, here's what you do:
Disconnect your Mac from your cable modem;
Back up any documents on your system that are important to you;
Boot your Mac from the system installation disks that came with it (insert the disk, restart your Mac, and hold down the "c" key until you get the "spinning gear" icon);
Choose a language and click the arrow button to continue;
From the Utilities menu, choose Disk Utility;
In Disk Utility, select your computer's hard drive;
Click the "Erase" tab;
Click the "Security Options" button and select to have it overwrite all the data on the hard drive;
Click the "Erase" button and allow it to process;
Once the "erase process has completed (it will take a while), reinstall Mac OS X.
Or, if this is too much for you to accomplish on your own, take your system to an Apple Store and have them help you perform these steps. If your system was indeed compromised, this will remove any such hack. You can then set up a new user account for the computer, reinstall your applications (reinstall only from original disks or downloads from the company making the software) and documents, and reconnect to the Internet.
Note that when you reconnect to the cable modem, you may still get an IP address starting with 198. This is normal with some cable modems and probably not a cause for concern. It will not be an indication that your system is still compromised; that will not be possible if you perform all the above steps.
Regards.

Thank you Steve Jobs
