What does Apple plan to do about the JAVA issue?

I was out of town on business last week and took my brand new MacBook Pro with me to stay connected to my work VPN. However, I was unable to connect to the VPN the entire time I was away. I found out from out IT department today that it is due to Apple not allowing any programs that require JAVA. Is anyone else dealing with this issue? What is being done about it? If I cannot use my laptop to connect to my work VPN then it is useless to me. If Apple does not come up with a solution quickly, I will be returning my brand new MacBook Pro for a windows based laptop that allows me to function at work. This is a shame because I was very excited to have an apple laptop....very disappointing!

There was a major vulnerability in Java that was being actively exploited to drop malware on both Windows and Mac OS X. Oracle, who is responsible for Java, was slow to get a fix out, so Apple blocked the vulnerable versions of Java in the web browser. (Mozilla did the same with their Firefox browser.) Updates are now available for Java that work in Mac OS X again.
Java has been a repeat source of major vulnerabilities and malware over the last couple years. It is EXTREMELY insecure. If your business is relying on web-based Java applets for secure communications, your business' IT department is collectively insane.

Nothing. The 2nd Gen Touch is OBSOLETE and is WAY past its support life. If you want to run the newer apps you have to buy a newer iPod.

Does Apple do anything now about the 5th Gen Audio problem?

My 30gig has worked wonderfully up until 2 weeks ago. Suddenly no sound output. If I squeeze the lower right side near the wheel I will get a short burst of the song. I am not a daily user of it as I'm always nervous about hurting it,so I've maybe used it as much in the last 4 years as some people do in 6 months. I've been using it on car trips so had my cable to hook it to the car radio.
I decided to start walking 2 weeks ago and couldn't find my headphones so I borrowed my 1o yr old daughters. No sound came out but I figured it was just because she had damaged her headphones. I finally went and bought myself a new set and headed out to walk last night,nothing.
I have read a few sites mentioning this problem back to 2007 and many people were able to get a free,out of warranty replacement. But I'm not seeing anyone have luck with it in the last 6 months.
To be 100% honest I had never wanted an Apple product but my husband,parents and brother went together to get this for me. I had fallen in love with it and had started putting money away to get my girls Touches for christmas but have changed my mind on that. If mine breaks sitting on my dresser than what will happen to theirs?!

4 years is actually pretty good compared to what most get, which is usually 2 - 3 years. These things are not designed to last forever and different components have a tendency to burn out over time. That's the case which just about anything you purchase, especially when its something with moving parts.
You can try calling Apple support anyways and presenting your case, but they are under no obligation to replace it since it's well out of warranty.
Sorry.

What does Developer Center outage say about the Cloud?

Why would anyone trust ANYTHING to the Cloud?
The Developer Center has been crippled for over two weeks.
Yes, some will smugly reply "it's working for me".
Lucky you.
But suppose you were one of those who have had ZERO access for over 2 weeks?
Why would anyone trust ANYTHING to the Cloud?

I can hear just fine . No need to yell.
If you call, you'll find out what they say. We're just users here.

Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates?

Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates? All of a sudden without changing any settings, the audio on my NEW ipad cuts in and out on applications/ games, keypad noise and lock sounds. The rocker button only seems to work while the sound is intermittently being heard before, after a few seconds of noise not doing anything when sound goes off.
This is highly frustrating as I've noticed others posting about such issues as far back as April. Anybody had the same thing happen to them? Is this likely software (ios6) or hardware issue? What are the solutions Apple???

Apple has no physical stores of their own in Dubai, so unless you mean that you purchased from the online Apple Store for the UAE, you purchased from a dealer, who may or may not have been authorized. You can check the expiration date of the warranty on your iPad yourself by entering in the serial number here:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
If it does indeed show the warranty has expired, then what you need to do from here will depend on who you purchased the iPad from and when you really did purchase it. Perhaps you actually purchased it in August and are just misremembering? Check your receipt. If you confirm that you did purchase within the last calendar year, tell us exactly where you got it and we can probably offer advice.

My iphone plus is bending, what does Apple offer regarding this issue?
I am trying to get to contact with Apple Customer Care, but not clear to me how to do it beside this channel of communication. I bought the phone from kosovar carrier which is under Slovenian ownership. This means that the original warranty comes from Slovenia, bit complicated but still I would like to get an urgent answer how to proceed with this issue, thanks

Maybe i should have only asked if anyone is aware on apple's policy
regarding bending. I took the point that this seems not a proper forum to
pose Q's to apple thanks to both

What does Apple mean by "For best battery performance, leave your device connected to a power source until the restore is complete."

I just recently returned an IPad air and exchanged it for another. I first set up this new one as a new IPad but then deleted all content and settings right away (since I wasn't getting the progress I had made in apps and games) in order to restore it from my previous IPad Air. I then checked after on how to backup via icloud and saw this line under the subtitle of how to restore from a backup, "For best battery performance, leave your device connected to a power source until the restore is complete." What does Apple mean by "for best battery performance"? Im just a bit worried of issues.
p.s. And yes I did have it connected to the power. And the ios is the default ios for new IPad Airs.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It only means you should restore whilst it is connected to a power supply, so that your battery doesn't go flat during the process.

I'm just curious, what does Apple name the second hard drive

I got a G5 with one hard drive which was by default named "Macintosh HD". When someone orders two hard drives what does Apple name the second hard drive by default? I'm just curious.

Does Apple plan to add a delete key to iPad in the future?

Does Apple plan to add a delete key to iPad in the future?

There already is a back-delete key - if you mean forward delete key then nobody on here will know until if/when Apple announce something. If it's something that you'd like then you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

What does apple do if the ipod is 2 weeks old and was stolen then found but damaged

What will apple do for you if what does apple do if the ipod is 2 weeks old and was stolen then found but damaged

If the damage is due to a manufacturing defect, they will unquestionably replace it. If the damage was caused by misuse or mishandling, such as dropping, Apple is obliged to do nothing. Your best bet is to go to the Genius bar at an Apple store and explain what happened, perhaps they will replace the iPod. Also, If you bought your iPod with a credit card, check with your card company. Some cards provide Purchase Protection insurance which will replace or repair any item lost, stolen or damaged within 90 days of purchase.

When my wife tries to update one of her apps a strange Apple ID pops up. Her Apple ID is correct in settings and in the apple store. What does this mean? Where did the other one come from?

When my wife tries to update one of her apps a strange Apple ID pops up. Her Apple ID is correct in settings and in the apple store. What does this mean? Where did the other one come from?

There is something on your iPhone (a music file, iBook, document or video) that belongs to another Apple ID. Only your wife would know how that file arrived there. Your iPhone is asking for the correct Apple ID for all of the files that are resident on the iPhone.

What does Apple have that compares to Adobe flash player ?

What does Apple have that compares to Adobe Flash Player, I keep getting Blocked plugged message and it tells me to download Adobe Flash Player and when I do nothing happens. Also when I purchased my iMac it came with Leopard osx system, last year I installed the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 system and since then cannot read CD's or DVD's from PC or my husbands new iMac with Mountain Lion system.

There is no equivalent to Adobe's Flash Player. You either have it installed or not. For the reasons outlined below, Apple no longer sell Macs with Flash Player pre-installed, you have to obtain it from Adobe.
Flash - Apple's official position:
http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
Flash v. HTML5
http://www.streaminglearningcenter.com/articles/flash-player-cpu-hog-or-hot-tama le-it-depends-.html
Apple may have more reasons behind not installing Flash by default other than the stated reason of ensuring that users always have the most up-to-date version. Having Flash installed can cut battery runtime considerably—as much as 33 percent in our testing. With a handful of websites loaded in Safari, Flash-based ads kept the CPU running far more than seemed necessary, and the best time I recorded with Flash installed was just 4 hours. After deleting Flash, however, the MacBook Air ran for 6:02—with the exact same set of websites reloaded in Safari, and with static ads replacing the CPU-sucking Flash versions.

And this:
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/columnist/kimkomando/2011-02-18-changes-web_N.htm
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
