In a related story: General Motors has announced that starting with the 2014 models, all previous models will cease to work. It will be a phased-in shutdown. First the 2001 models, then 2002, until all models prior to 2014 will be non-functioning.
Links or it didn't happen.
In what way is it related?  Last time i looked 'obsolate' and 'defunct' had distinctly different meanings.

  • I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. Help?

    I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air  I can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. It keeps going back to my old apple id and doesn't afford me to alter it. I use system preferences-icloud and it just wants to verify the old apple id but doesn't afford me the opportunity to delete teh account or edit it like the iphone5 and ipad. Help?

    Delete the account from the iPad, log in again using the ID you use on the phone.

  • Will Apple offer student on the new iPad?

    Is there a discount for students that wants to buy the new iPad? If so, how would I go about claiming it?

    There is currently no discount available for students for the the new ipad. Its unlikely that you will see the new ipad discounted unil the end of the year. When they do discount it though dont exect it to be more than maybe a 40 dollar discount.

    What abt ios7 update for my 2012 new ipad???
    any idea guys...

    I don't understand the question.  If you are a developer, ask the question again using the support tools for developers.  If you are not a developer, any answers will need to wait until iOS7 is released this fall.

    A deal is only a good deal if you get the best value out of the deal.
    If you need a MacBook more than an iPad or an iPad more than a MacBook, then it's a good deal.
    Comes down to what value the use of the product is to you.

    Why can't I download apps I have to pay for on to my new iPad Mini. I have had an Apple id for my iPhone for years and have downloaded app to it, no problems. When I try to download apps to my new iPad Mini, it tells me my billing info has to be confirmed. After confirming with same info that is already there it tells me to contact support, no help up to this point.

    Could the credit card be expired?
    Beyond that, what you need to do is contact iTunes support, they can tell you exactly what is wrong, none of us here can do that.
    In the lower right corner of this page is a 'contact us' link. Click on that and you'll see a page full of info and links, one of which is iTunes support.

  • HT5622 can I use one apple ID for both iPhone and iPad?

    hello, i just bought a new ipad and want to use the same apple ID that i used in my iphone. is it possible?
    thank you for helping me

    Philly_Phan is absolutely right if you intend to be the primary user of both devices. Is that the case or will one of the devices be used by someone else with whom you want to communicate over Facetime and iMessage?

  • Apple tv 3 and the New iPad - I WANT to stream only the sound

    Hey guys!
    I've got the new iPad and apple tv 3 which is great together!
    I have a receiver (which is located in the living room)  with Zone2 option and also have outdoor speakers which are connected to that Zone2.
    When I sit outside i want to use my great speaker system and use the outdoor speakers using AirPlay and ATV and stream the content to my ATV but the thing is that when i do that I lose my video on the device and the tv (which is in the living room) shows my video feed.
    That of course is a problem coz I enjoy my great speakers but can't watch the video (like YouTube video or something else)...
    Is there a way to stream the sound only to the ATV?
    I found discussions of people who don't manage to stream their video to the ATV and only managed to stream their sound but that was an error and things like firmware update solved their problem...
    Found no discussions of people who TRY to stream only the sound, like I want to...
    Does anyone have an idea that can solve my problem?
    Thanks a lot in advance!!!

    It's actually very easy and doesn't even require splitting the video stream and extracting the audio track from it (which is pretty easy if you have a desktop computer).
    If you don't want to play back protected content (non-music videos purchased from iTunes Store), all you need to do is getting GoodPlayer, letting it play audio in background (Settings > Background Audio) and connect to your ATV in non-AirPlay mirroring mode. It'll happily play back the audio track of the video while you can do anything in the foreground. (Note that, in addition to GoodPlayer, other background audio-playback players may also work - it's just that I've tested GoodPlayer in this regard between my ATV3 and iPad 3. Let me know if you need more - for example, a list - info on them.)

  • Can I get the Apple IBook Author on the New IPad

    Will the ibook author be available for the new iPad? I've got a MacBook but its easier to use the iPad because of a disability.
    I use an ibook creator on the iPad at the moment, but I would much prefer to use the Apple Ibook creator.
    I haven't actually published anything yet and I'm thinking that it would be better to use the ibook author, so I can submit it straight to the ibook store.
    Also, does anyone know if there are any proofreading and editing tools that I could use, as it is very expensive getting someone to do it for me. I had a quote of around £850 for a 100,000 word book!
    Thank you. Any help will be most appreciated :)

    Have you tried Book Creator for iPad? You can create an ePub file which is already standards-compliant for Apple's iBookstore, so you can publish it without too much hassle.

  • How do I create a new Apple ID for wife's new iPhone 6 Plus?

    Our family has many Apple Devices (Mac Book Air, iMac, iPhone 6, iPad 3rd Gen. iPod 5th Gen. and as of today a new iPhone 6 Plus.  All of our Devices have always been using one Apple ID.  This has created zero issues until now.  With my wife's new iPhone 6 Plus I downloaded Find Friends and also Find My iPhone.  I can't find any way to set up her iPhone 6 Plus tied only to  her email address and cell phone number.  Whenever I open Find Friends on either device and select the appropriate email address it changes the other device to that email address for Find Friends.  I am beginning to think that now with two iPhones we will need to get my wife her own Apple ID.  When I went to Create an Apple ID using her email address it won't allow it because her email address is associated as an alternate under my Apple ID.  Reading Apple Support documents it shows using a common Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases but a separate Apple ID for iCloud if desired.  Bottom Line, I think I have to Delete her email address from My Apple ID Account so that I can use that email for her new Apple ID.  When I delete her email address from My Apple ID Account isn't that going to impact our shared Apps and iTunes Purchases?

    No, she can use the existing AppleID for purchasing and use her own new AppleID for content syncing. If you wish to, you can set up Family Sharing and add her to your iCloud family. That will enable you to share certain resources such as calendars.
