What happened to the multi-touch imac

I heard from several people that apple has patented the idea of a multi-touch imac.
Is apple actually going to build it?

if I knew that I would probably be a rich man. they did file a patent that goes somewhat in that direction, that's all.
don't wait for it, it won't be coming for the next couple of years. get a magic mouse instead ^^

  • What happened to the multi-touch gestures in Finder?

    I've updated to Lion last week.  Overall, I think what Apple did was great to the overall experience.  However, my only gripes are in Finder.  What happened to the multi-touch gestures?  The only thing that I can do is flip through files in cover view using two finger swipes.
    What happened to the pinch to zoom in and out?  I've seen other posts about this so I'll stop here.  Apple please bring this function back.  I'm tired of moving my mouse to the drag handle. 
    Secondly, I was using three finger swipes to navigate to the previous and next folder in Finder.   Since two finger is used to flip through cover view, I see why they couldn't extend the back/forward function to two finger swipes as they did in Safari and I know that three finger swipe is used to change desktops.  I wish that Apple was more creative to leave this function in somehow.
    Is there a way to bring these functions back to Finder?  These are the functions that I used all the time.

    That doesn't explain why they would remove the pinch to zoom in and out.  That is not be used by anything else in finder.  If I'm going through pictures, I would like to zoom in on the images for cover view.
    As far as the three figure swipes to go back and forth in finder, I understand why that has been removed.  However, Apple could have implemented the two finger swipe just like in Safari which is sensitive to the acceleration of the swipes.  If you swipe with two fingers somewhat fast, you can go back and forth between previous and next page.  If you swipe with two fingers slowly, you can pan left and right on the same page.
    They could have done something to retain the functionality versus taking out the functionality all together.  As of now, these functionalities do not exist.  I'm hoping that something is going to change and we'll have to see what the future brings.

  • What happened to the multi-vlan feature?

    I've read cisco documentation that discusses the multi-vlan feature on the 2900 XL series, but not for the 2950s. Is this functionality provided in a different way on the 2950s?

    The short answer is yes, via trunking.
    The multi-vlan feature was originally supported on the early 2900XL hardware since the asics used at the time did not support ISL or dot1q encapsulation. When the updated 2900XL and the 3500XL were released they had asics that did support ISL and dot1q encapsulation and so multi-vlan support was no longer required. A decision was made to keep the multi-vlan feature available for these platforms... I assume... so that customers with a mix of 'old' and 'new' hardware could configure them the same.
    When the 2950 and 3550 were released a decision was made to no longer support the multi-vlan feature since the hardware of both already supported either ISL and dot1q (3550) or dot1q (2950).

  • I think it is a shame for a company this large and world wide not to have  live people to TALK to on the phone to help with issue instaed you have to type in to a computer . What happen to the personal touch and caring for your consumers it is SO frustrat

    I don't understand why your company would not want to be customer freindly and helpful , If i wou;d have known there wwas no way of communicating with you other than typing i would not have purchased any of the ipod items we own . I think you should be ashame for your company  for not adding a personal touch not every one is conputor savy and do make mistakes when typing  but nno one in your company will help  unless i chat online i don't always have time to do this and it makes me upset and angery  when i have to talk to a computor instead of a live person  I hanve talked to pple representive 2 were very freindly i was a complete A## and very rude  i don,t understand how your company grows with bad attitueds and taking so long to respond back to you .I wish i could find another brand that did what the the ipod does  andd i would toss mine for it .

    First, please understand that you're not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. Everyone here, with rare and limited exceptions, is just a fellow user.
    If you want help directly from Apple with a technical problem with an iPod, you can either visit an Apple Store, if there's one near you, or you can call Apple tech support. You can find a list of phone numbers for Apple support for the various countries here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you are referring to problems with the iTunes Store, then as is common with most if not all download stores, Apple only provides technical support via email. I presume that they find it not to be cost-effective to provide phone support for such small purchases.
    BTW, the forum you posted in, iTunes U, is for colleges and universities who provide content through the iTunes Store. For user questions about iTunes, use one of the general iTunes forums. If you want to comment to Apple, their feedback pages:

  • What happened to the i5 & i7 iMac models?

    Was just looking to upgrade my old G5 iMac, to a super powered i7, and that option is not listed anymore.

    Unfortunately, there isn't a whole lot I do aside from playing WoW occasionally.
    I also have Fink installed on it, and I watched it compile a few programs. The only other thing I used to do on my Mac was to re-encode capture using ffmpegx. Haven't tried since my G4 was my vid cap machine.
    I don't have any "pro" apps on my machine, but compiling stuff with gcc is fast. Almost makes me want to develop for iPhone/iPod touch. (;

  • What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

    What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

    If they are both using the same iCloud ID (assuming you are running your mail from iCloud), then yes, the email will disappear from your Mac after you delete it from your phone and after your phone sycs with iCloud and your Mac syncs with iCloud.
    I use a windows phone, but it works the same.

  • I installed Lion, but did not get the multi touch gestures feature. Also my "front row" is gone.

    I installed Lion, but did not get the multi touch gestures feature. Also my "front row" is gone.

    What model computer do you have? some early trackpads will not support all gestures.
    Front Row was dropped by Apple in Lion. I beleive it can be recovered from Snow Leopard, I haven't tried it myself.

  • I have both the 250 gb high performance hard drive and a 1 ter byte hard drive.  What happens when the 250 gb hardrive is full?

    I have both the 250 gb high performance hard drive and a 1 ter byte hard drive.  What happens when the 250 gb hardrive is full? This on Imac desktop

    Never let a drive get more than 80% to 85% full.
    AND keep 50-100 GB of free space on a startup drive to allow proper function of virtual memory in all OS X versions from 10.5x to current versions.
    10.4x can get by with 20 GB of free space on the boot drive, but more is always better.
    I try and keep all boot drives between 50 and 60% of capacity.
    Beyond 60% and up to 90% capacity, seek times increase almost exponentially; performance suffers.

  • What happens when the Time Machine drive is full?

    I'm on my second iMac. My first one (G5, 1984) died, and I replaced it early 2010 with an Intel mac. The transition when exceedingly well largely due to Time Machine. I just hooked the Time Machine drive to the new system, and I was soon back up running!
    My home folder has 70GB of data. The Macintosh drive has 105GB of data and 395GB free. The Time Machine drive has 220GB used and 30GB free.
    1. What happens when the Time Machine drive is full?
    2. Do I have control over what backups get deleted?
    3. If lightning strikes twice, will I still be able to restore my Intel mac like my G5 mac, even if backups get deleted?
    4. Is there anyway to control what backups/backup files get deleted?
    5. Any other thoughts?
    Thanks.

    Do you mean all of them? The entire Backups.backupdb folder?
    That's a large mess. First, even a normal delete will take a very long time, as there are probably hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of files. Your best bet by far is to simply erase them with Disk Utility -- that will only take a few moments. If your TM drive has a single partition, see #1 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html]. If there are other partition(s) on the drive, see #2 there.
    If not, and you only deleted some of the folders, you have a different, worse problem. Unfortunately, Apple doesn't do a very good job of warning folks: +*Never move, change, or delete anything in your backups via the Finder or Terminal.+*
    You shouldn't have to delete backups at all, since Time Machine will do that automatically when the disk/partition gets full. But you can do it without harm via Time Machine. See #12 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    A normal delete will take a very long time, as there are probably tens or hundreds of thousands of items, each of which must be individually deleted. A secure delete will take much, much longer, as each deleted file must be overwritten with zeros.

  • After upgrading what happens to the apps on my 3G?

    I just received my iPhone 4 and put my backup from my iPhone 3G on. It works fine, and there is no more AT&T service on my iPhone 3G. I intend to use the 3G as an iPod Touch. I understand the SIM card needs to stay in the phone for this, even though it is not activated with AT&T.
    What happens to the apps that are still on my 3G? They are still working. I assume they will stay there until I need to sync. Then I will have to set up a new iTunes account, under a unique computer user name, for the 3G and buy the apps all over again for the 3G.

    Nope, the apps stay there until you delete them.
    I currently sync 2 iPhones and 2 iPod Touch units all to one iTunes store account, and per the Apple licensing, they all can run apps I have purchased. I had a similar question as you when I first started using multiple devices, so I sent an email to the app author for the app I wanted most to do this with. His response was that this is Apple's terms, so if I didn't want to purchase a second license to use his app on a second device, then I didn't need to (but he wouldn't stop me if I wanted to either). In the end, I found this app author to be very dedicated to his app, and very responsive to my comments/requests, so I did purchase a second copy of his app (yes, I had my wife create an iTunes account and purchase it under her account).

  • What happened to the youtube app and why does my ipod keep crashing?

    I updated my ipod touch 4g to iOS 6.0 and what happened to the youtube app? And why does my ipod keep on crashing when ever I go to the app store? Now i can never buy anything!!! or watch youtube videos and I'm always on youtube!!!!!!!!

    As has been very well publicized in the news and all over the internet and forums, youtube is not part of ios 6.  Google it.
    You can get the app from the app store if you like.
    Have you tried the basics from the manual to stop the crashing?
    Restart, reset, restore.

  • What happen to the ability to select text for speech?

    What happen to the ability to highlight text and have the imac read the selected text out load back to you?

    I am having this problem too, on mountain lion.
    For example, before in Preview, you could select text to be read in text-to-speech. Now, this feature seemed to have just vanished! What happened?

  • The Multi-touch surface of the Magic Mouse could be more smoother and the sensor could be more sensitive on different kinda surfaces.

    ) I have a ProLink bluetooth mouse with me labelled 2.4GHz wireless mouse with this USB bluetooth stub that is inserted into the USB port in order for the mouse to connect to my iMac. (i'm not a techincal guy)
    Is this mouse connected at the same time as the Magic Mouse? If so, unplug it.

  • What happens to the open item in bsid table when it is cleared

    hi experts,
                   i have a doubt about open and cleared items of accounting documents. as we know open items of customers are stored in bsid and cleared ones in bsad. For suupose, an open item is closed ina particular period then what happened to the entry in bsid and bsad table. an entry regarding is stored in bsad (cleared),and what happens to the entry in bsid, still it will be there or removed from it.

    Hi,
    When ever we clear the document(Complete payment) that document will be moved to BSAD table. Other wise it will remain in BSID.
    If u are making partial payment then all the partial payment documents along with original document will be stored in BSID till u made the complete payment for that invoice.
    Assumption is u have to give all partial payment documents made for particular invoice item while u are making complete payment in F-28 transaction. So that these partail payment documents will also be cleared while making complete payment and moved to BSAD table.
    This trasaction can be used for both partial and complete payments.
    Irrespective of complete or partial payments made all the documents will remain stored in BKPF and BSEG tables.
    BSID and BSAD are index tables to address performance issues with BKPF and BSEG tables.
    So all open and cleared documents will be there in BKPF and BSEG tables.
    All cleared documents will be there in BSAD table.
    Alll open documents will be there in BSID table.
    Hope it is clear.
    Thanks,
    Vinod.
