The Best thing to due if Apple does not offer a $200 e-coupon...
After sleeping on the news that Apple reduced the iPhone price by $200, I know in my heart that Apple will do the right thing and offer some sort of compensation to all of us early adopters. If they don't they will have a major angry Apple loyalist on there hands. The best punishment is to not buy a thing from the Company for at least a year... No Music, movies, new imac, Nothing!!! Sorry for sounding mad!
Dont let the door kick ya. Apple has the best technology out there, IMO. Have fun with your new Zune and Vista box.

I am trying to use sites on the internet which require Adobe Flash Player, and when I click for a free download it says that "it is not available for your device because of restrictions that Apple has put in place". Any suggestions on how to overcome this?
Flash is not, and probably never will be, supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus it would be up to Adobe to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, something which they have never managed to do and which they have now given up on trying to do.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so your could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app). -
Hi, deployed to Europe and trying to set up my Apple TV to a JVC Model LT-32EX18, help, it has a 2 port HDMI input, what do I need to purchase in order to set up? TIA
Apple TV doesn't come with HDMI cable, so you would have had to buy the cable separately unless the Apple TV was bought used. Did you purchase the device from Apple or an authorized reseller?
Are you sure you're trying the right input?
The other is a smaller one that is for micro USB (which is used for support purposes only) -
Why Apple does not offer software to copy the content of my iPod Touch to my new computer?
Hi, I got a new laptop. And I want the content of my iPod to copy to iTune on my new laptop. Is there Apple software to perform this function? I do find many third party software to do this function, but I have to pay that software. Can you help?
You don't need to purchase additional software. This link may help you: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527

Why Apple does not offer support for linux?
We all know the history of Apple. It clearly shows a trend to be open source, excepting for the licenses they share with Microsoft. In my personal case, I love open source because it has solved several of my problems. Just to share this with everyone, I am the network manager of a educational institution and I used to have my servers running on windows platform. Since we used to buy it all from Microsoft, they would give us free software for or labs, software like Visual Studio. They even assigned us engineers to plan everything for our servers, free of cost. Guess what? It was a disaster. We had our database destroyed by an external attack. We were “lucky” to have Microsoft in our servers and in our firewalls.
We had to take action, so I decided to switch to Debian, and to use IPCOP (a great dedicated firewall, if there is anyone interested, the link is: http://ipcop.org/ , please note, I am NOT affiliated with them, and I will receive no compensation or benefit if you chose to access it or not ). Both open source. The result, no external attack has been able to pass trough. After that, we switched most* of our e-learning platforms to open source, and guess what? We are saving over 60,000 yearly just in software. So for those who are looking for a good way to get good security without loosing an eye, try open source.
Now back to the point, I do not fully support any operative system. They all have their good features, or at least they should. The ones I know, are because I use them. My home network is composed by computers running in five different versions of Linux, two running in Mac OS X Tiger, and some others running in XP pro. My main computer is running in Ubuntu, and is really sad to see that there is no software from apple available for Linux. That is honestly the worst part of Linux, having no iTunes or QuickTime available. No way to see multimedia in the web, etc. A suggestion for apple would be, give support for Linux, there are a lot of us wanting the same.Apple makes software and hardware. Therefore they
offer a total solution. Now they even can have
windows xp running on their hardware. Making a
version of mac os to run on linix isn't practically.
Under a mac is unix and you can run unix software
with the mac so you could do ever thing you are
doing with a mac.
I did not know Linux was one type of computer, like Mac...
Next topic, If I was willing to pay for it, this thread would not exist, because I can actually use a commercial software to adapt the windows web plug ins to Linux... If I was in charge of Apple, I would propose to develop free software support of my products, - plug ins and so - to other operative systems... But of course, even if I did, it would not be up to me. It would have to pass trough several layers of bureaucracy, and it would take a lot of time to be approved or rejected.
Anyway, the main issue is, the three most important OS's are Windows, Linux, and Mac. And that can't be denied. Now you can even run Windows in a Mac PC, and vice versa... besides being fancy, what else could I do with a Mac PC using Windows, when I can build a machine able to run Windows for less than 300 bucks? OK if you want to try a Mac in a i386 or a x86... but I still rather to be the proud owner of a PowerMac G5 than the owner of a Pentium 4 / AMD using Mac OS.
Also, I thought it would be fun to see the reactions and opinions of other people with this topic, hence, I was not expecting anyone from Mac to read it, and really do something about it, because I know they won't. -
WARNING: Apple does not offer normal warranty for BB OpenBox
I called Apple this week after receiving an iPad Air to register my warranty. Apple would ONLY warranty the item until the end of the first year it was placed in service (4 months from my BB purchase date - not the full year - and the 90 day telephone support coverage was expired so I couldn't receive software support anymore).
Contacted BB CS which offered no resolution.
Before I purchased the iPad I had a chat session with the order desk and I asked specifically (I kept full transcript):
ME: Great, one other item. I noticed you offer "Open-Box" version of this as well. Is there any difference in return, warranty, or anything else if I purchase the open-box vs the New?
BB: Let me check that for you.
It's the same.
So my warning to everyone buying BB OpenBox Apple products is that you could be receiving a very short Apple warranty without any way to know in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hello facmer-
I am sorry to hear about your disappointment with the open box iPad Air that you recently purchased as the warranty on it is not for the full amount of time that a new iPad Air would have.
In looking over your transcript, I can see how the agent may not have correctly interpreted what you were asking about, as the warranty would function the same as with a new product. However, this is obviously not your fault either, so I understand your frustration. It looks like your concerns have come to the attention of our executive support team and a member of that team should be reaching out to you soon. Hopefully they can reach a resolution with you that will be satisfactory.
Sincerely,

Why Apple/MAC does not offer server mounting application?
I am very disappointed to see that MAC /Apple does not offer simple server mounting application.
It is a very basic facility provided in Linux. I am forced to use third party stuff like OSXFuse which still is not a permanent solution.
Hope someone at Apple could fix it.I do not understand your question. Do you want to mount file servers that DO NOT support CIFS/SMB or Apple Filing Protocol (AFP)?
Or do you want to mount file system formats not supported by Mac OS X (ext[234], btrfs, ZFS, etc...)?
Can you please clarify your question.
Finder -> Go -> Connect to server... will allow connecting to file servers via CIFS/SMB or AFP protocols.
Mac OS X will try to mount any directly attached file system (HFS+, NTFS (readonly), FAT, FAT32, exFAT).
What are you trying to mount?
NOTE: No one in Mac OS X software development visits here. This is a User-to-User forum. You can send your feedback to:
<http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html>
You will not get a reply, but it will be read by someone inside Apple. I suggest you provide more details on what you desire, as they will not start a dialog with you as I'm trying to do. -

Water damaged iPhone 5c. what is the best thing for me to do?
i dropped my brand new iphone 5c in water. what is the best thing for me to do? should i just go straight to apple? and how much would i be looking at?
Fact is, the chances of fully recovering from water damage, on an iPhone, are extremely low. Your best bet is to belly up to the bar & pay Apple the out of warranty exchange fee: US $269. Make an appointment at any Apple store.
Good luck. -

Buy Lion on a USB stick or ask a friend to download it for you and provide you with a stick:

If you are lucky enough to live near an Apple-Store, the friendly guys at the genius-bar can surely fix your problem.
It's not $24.99 on a stick, it's $64.99. -

Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified.
Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!
So my options are:
Create a new Apple ID, use that and lose all the apps I've purhcased with it (a fairly substantial amount)
Somehow Migrate these purchases over to a new Apple ID
Apple let me change the primary ID for the account
Anyone else ran into this before?
I've tried accessing the mail through a mail application using the correct server information, and trying both the old 6 character password and the one I had to change it too after they updated the security guidelines - neither work.
Help would be greatly appreciated as I can see more services down the line not working without the address being verified!To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should not need to verify the old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I have another apple ID but I forgot the password and apple does not send the link to reset it to my email. What do I do to have it back? It is really important.
If you know the answers to your security question for the ID you can use that method to reset the password rather than email (by going to https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid).
If you don't, you'll have to contact iTunes Store support for assistance: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html. They frequently deal with Apple ID issues.
