hi im doing a design technology course and i have to design a exhibition stand for apple and i was asked by my tutor to find out what apples mission statement was for example being enviromently freindly or modern excettera if any one could help me that would be great?

Q: What is Apple's mission statement?
A: Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh. Today, Apple continues to lead the industry in innovation with its award-winning desktop and notebook computers, OS X operating system, and iLife and professional applications. Apple is also spearheading the digital music revolution with its iPod portable music players and iTunes online music store.

I need Apple's Mission Statement for a paper and I cannot find it anywhere...

I need to find Apple's mission statement for a paper for school and I cannot find it anywhere. This is too bad because I am doing research on the top companies and their mission and value statements and I figured that Apple's would be the top pick... Does anyone know where I could find their mission statement?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

It seems apple has never officially issue a formal Mission Statement, but...
Two posts at this link are pretty good in lieu of one:

What is Apple's mission and vision statement? Where can I find it?

I've thoroughly searched the Apple website for their mission and vision statement. And I have still not found it anywhere. Please help, as I am writing a paper about the organization as a whole.

"Apple is committed to ensuring the highest standards of social responsibility in everything we do. The companies we do business with must provide safe working conditions, treat employees fairly, and use environmentally responsible manufacturing processes wherever Apple products are made. "
"To produce high-quality, low cost, easy to use products that incorporate high technology for the individual. We are proving that high technology does not have to be intimidating for noncomputer experts."

Tim Cook: said this last year during a conference call with investors:
"We believe that we are on the face of the earth to make great products and that's not changing. We are constantly focusing on innovating. We believe in the simple not the complex. We believe that we need to own and control the primary technologies behind the products that we make, and participate only in markets where we can make a significant contribution. We believe in saying no to thousands of projects, so that we can really focus on the few that are truly important and meaningful to us. We believe in deep collaboration and cross-pollination of our groups, which allow us to innovate in a way that others cannot. And frankly, we don't settle for anything less than excellence in every group in the company, and we have the self-honesty to admit when we're wrong and the courage to change. And I think regardless of who is in what job those values are so embedded in this company that Apple will do extremely well." (Source).

Not every company has such things in explicit public statements or records (there is certainly no requirement for such things).

HT4314 Hello, I have an Iphone 3GS and can't connect to Game Center. It recognizes my apple ID account, states it was never used with Game Center. Then asks for country, birthdate, then returns to ask country again, then birthdate, and returns to the loo

Hello, I have an Iphone 3GS and can't connect to Game Center. It recognizes my apple ID account, states it was never used with Game Center. Then asks for country, birthdate, then returns to ask country again, then birthdate, and returns to the loop. Never ends the loop unless I cancel the setup process. I have restored the iphone to the factory settings and restored the backup, but did not work. Any suggestions on what can be the problem? thank you.

I just read another post that says you can go into a game that allows for multiple players and utalizes game center and enter your account information that way. I haven't tried it yet, but it seems to work for others that had this issue.

What is apple's replacement policy for a macbook pro?

Macbook Pro, 13" from Summer 2011 running Mavericks
Still under applecare, but will run out in approximately a month.
As stated above, I bought the computer in the summer. A couple months later, I took it in to the store and ended up having the logic board and entire screen replaced because there were issues with both.
This past march (2014) I took it into the store and had the hard drive cable replaced because my hard drive was "missing"
Afterwards, I was having issues with the computer shutting down randomly. I would close the lid - putting it to sleep - and then I would sometimes hear later on (not immediately afterwards) the disks start going again or the fan start blowing as if the computer was turning on again and working on something. Sometimes I would put it in my backpack and 20 minutes later take it back out and find that it was super hot and the battery had completely drained. The computer also got a lot slower. I talked with apple on the phone and the person I talked to even commented on how slow it was going as she had me open up certain things to check settings, etc. That resolved nothing so I took it in to the store. The store technicians took it and then gave me a call later and told me they found nothing wrong with it. They offered to send it in to the factory or some other repair center for a more thorough search and repair. Due to certain work circumstances, I said that I would see if things got better. A few days later, things got a lot worse and I ended up taking it to the store and having it sent out to the factory. Both times I was at the store I could see exactly what the technicians were writing down, and despite me telling them over and over again, they wrote down things that weren't really the issue. Maybe this is minor, but for example, I would tell them that my battery heated up when the computer was supposed to be asleep and it would get hot and drain completely in a very short time while it was supposed to be asleep. They would write down "battery drains quickly." They also just didn't seem to care very much - walking away and helping other people despite my appointment, etc. Well they sent it off to the factory and then shipped it back to me after replacing the logic board, battery, fan, and ram. I called apple as it was being shipped back to me and asked to talk to a manager because I thought it was rather ridiculous that my computer was having so many issues - I felt like as soon as my warranty was up it was just going to have another problem and I would end up paying for it. He to me he would extend the warranty some and he alluded to possible a possible replacement of the computer down the line if I was still having issues. The day I got the computer back, it kept trying to shut down. It froze once. I wasn't even doing much with the computer - it shouldn't have been overloaded by a long shot. I called and left a message for the manager. He called me back a couple days later and I told him what the issues were as soon as I got the computer back. However, they abated between the time I got it back and the time he called me back, so he attributed it to the fact that I had been using google chrome and said I should check my updates. I switched browsers and made sure I was updated and for a time it was ok-ish (still slow). Then I had an issue where I was copying files to my desktop. The copying went on forever and ever and my computer started freezing. I tried shutting down and I couldn't. I hit the power button and it wouldn't turn off. After forever, I finally got it to turn off and restarted. Then the random shut downs started again. And then, finally, I was left looking at a folder on a gray screen. Called the manager again and he said it was probably the hard drive cable. He said that if the cable replacement didn't fix it, we would probably be looking at replacing the computer. I took it in to the store and had it replaced. It didn't do any good. Now the manager wants me to send it to the factory again. He says that I almost had reached the amount of repair issues that would get me a new computer, but the first issues right after I got it didn't count since they weren't very recent. What is apple's policy on replacing laptops that seem to just be lemons?

We cannot answer the question nor will Apple. You will need to consult your state's lemon law to determine whether you have a case. Most likely you will need to go to arbitration. If you need to go to court you will need to hire an attorney or use small claims court if your case is eligible.
If Apple has such a policy, then only Apple knows what that policy is. So you will need to take the matter up with them through the local Apple Store.

Why won't the mission statement box stay in line with content?

Thank you! Well that helped get them in line with each other the only problem is now for some reason the mission statement is to the left of the content information and the mission statement is supposed to be to the right. Sorry I am obviously a beginner and I'm sure its something simple but I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
This is how I changed the style sheet:
#content {
          width:482px;
          float: right;
          padding-bottom:181px;

Now it looks like this:

OK, as always I waited before downloading a new OS and I sure glad I did. On the APP store I sorted comments by most critical...and WHOA...what is Apple doing? No support for Logic 9, MS Office? Is Apple only trying to reach the iphone/iTouch crowd? HELP!

OK, as always I waited before downloading a new OS and I'm sure glad I did. On the APP store I sorted comments by most critical...and WHOA...what is Apple doing? No support for Logic 9, MS Office? Is Apple only trying to reach the iphone/iTouch crowd? HELP! I was going to buy a new Mac pro & two 27" monitors but until I see some real problem addressing by Apple...I'll keep what I have and see how everything pans out. If anyone has any comments to ally my fears, I welcome them. I've been a devoted Mac user since 1993. 7500; G4; G5; and my latest Mac Pro...Where do I go? Again...HELP!

Hi there,
If you look through ALL the reviews, they are mainly good. I feel that Lion is an excellent upgrade, although not essential.
There have been some issues with MS Office, but right now, it is up to Microsoft to issue a Lion compatible update, which will come in time. Saying this, MS Office has been working fine on my mac, it seems to be an isolated issue.
Logic 9 seems like a strange issue. Again, an update looks to be coming soon, with Lion support.
I do not feel that apple only focusing on the iPhone and iPad user base. There are many features carried along, but the machine can still be used for pro tools and use just as well. It still is a fantastic, reliable, fast, easy to use OS, which I have had very few problems with. Some additions you may not use, but they don't get in the way. You will love the new Exposé, Mission Control, as it is great for pro users who have many windows open at once, and the new spaces. You may however, never use Launchpad, but you don't have to, just drag it away from the dock!
I really reccomend buying a mac with Lion, although if you are worried about bugs, wait a few months for the issues to be ironed out, and updates to be given. Because the update is so very cheap, I really think you can hardly go wrong. Try it out with your current mac, and if you like it, go ahead and buy your new ones.
Lion is fantastic, albeit maybe rushed.
Any other queries, just ask,
Nathan

So, we're the "stupid ios users" yet you are the one posting a link to something that simply says what we all said here?
"Starting May 1, new apps and app updates submitted to the App Store must be built for iOS devices with Retina display and iPhone apps must also support the 4-inch display on iPhone 5. Learn about preparing your apps by reviewing the iOS"
What part of that statement in your link do you not get? App developers will or will not make those changes, not Apple. It is entirely possible some apps will never get updated for retina, as their developers will drop those products and move on to new ones. Yes, Apple may set certain minimum standards and requirements for inclusion of anyone's app in their storefront (as I already said), but it is entirely up to the developers to actually implement those changes. Complaining on an Apple forum that a particular developer chose not to is pointless and a waste of everyone's time.

What's Apple saying about the 34 admitted errors in Intel CPUs?

I'm reading a lot about Core Duo and Core Solo errors. 34 of them. Intel intends to fix just one of them.
I'm yet to find an Apple article on the issue.
I had been contemplating adding an Intel Mac to my stable but I'm pretty certain I'll not be rushing into this until Apple makes a statement to relieve my concerns.
PMG5 2x2.5 +30 Cinema Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well, I'm not so sure. Owners of new Intel Macs
certainly appear to be having problems.
Those problems are unrelated to the flaws in the Core Duo.
Processor flaws are "normal", you can't build a chip with several million transistors on it without there being a few problems. That said, the flaws are really edge cases and you'd have to be doing something downright weird to encounter most of them.
It's also worth noting that more than half of the flaws can only be encountered if the processor is in debug mode.
I'll wait for the Apple statement.
I very much doubt you'll get one. They didn't release a statement for the 24 known flaws in the G5 or the 36 known flaws in the G4.
If you hold off buying a computer because the processor has flaws then you'll never buy a computer.
I suspect what's happened here is that a journalist who doesn't understand what's going on found an Intel errata sheet and started yelling about the sky falling. Since most people never hear about these flaws they assume that they're indicative of a broken design. The truth is that nothing is out of the ordinary, there is nothing to be worried about.

What is Apple's substtute for Adobe Flash Player on iPad?

What is Apple's substtute for Adobe Flash Player on iPad?

Until Adobe can develop a version of Flash that works for mobile devices that is stable and doesn't hog memory resources or ***** up battery life, there isn't much anyone can do about this!
Android devices claiming to run Flash are having these issues, too. Steve Jobs and Apple simply won't allow Adobe Flash to with their mobile hardware/software with the state of affairs with Flash, now. If Adobe has a breakthrough and can develop a version of Flash or some sort a content providing software that works and plays well with mobile devices and platforms, the situation may change. For the foreseeable future, Flash is going to be absent on current and future Apple mobile devices.
On another note, PPC Macs are obsolete technology that is, at least 6 years old. OS X 10.5 was the last Mac operating system to still support PPC Mac architecture. This OS is , at least, 3 years old. OS X 10.4 Tiger is, at least 5 years old.
You can't expect either Apple or Adobe,or any hardware/software manufacturer/developer, at this time, to keep supporting older technologies. Especially, anything 5 or 6 years old or more. It's just not cost effective or practical.
Technology marches on. There are many of us, probably, still using PPC Macs, including myself. We're all in the same boat.
At some point, we're going to have to play catch up to the latest and greatest to be able to stay current on the grid and to be current with new technologies, hardware, and software.
I do not think this is a rational reason to jump ship on a company who, arguably, makes the best technology hardware/software integrated devices and computers in the world.

What would apple do if my ipod touch is broken and is still under warranty?

What would apple do if my ipod touch is broken and is still under warranty?

It depends on how it was broken. Apple are very strict when it comes to enforcing warrantys so unless the damage was a result of a manufacturing error then you have little chance of having your device replaced or serviced without having to pay a fee.
The warranty states that Apple do not cover;
damage resulting from accident - ie. accidentally dropping it
liquid damage
disassembly
unauthorised service - ie. trying to fix the hardware yourself
unauthorised modifications - ie. "jailbreaking"

What is Apple's official line on hand-cut nano-SIMs?

I use local SIM cards whenever I travel and I never pay roaming charges. The downside is that I need to obtain a new SIM card for each new country that I visit.
Whilst many carriers now issue nano-SIMs, there are some who still don't or they make it difficult for prepaid customers. I'm getting a bit fed up with ordering or buying a nano-SIM (which should be 12.30x8.80x0.67mm) but receiving a hand-cut nano-SIM (which is 12.30x8.80x0.76mm), i.e. 13% thicker than it should be. Although 0.76mm-thick SIM cards can be forced into an iPhone 5, they don't go in easily and I've read reports they can get stuck so it wouldn't surprise me if this invalidates the iPhone 5's warranty.
Some examples of offending networks are:
O2 Czech Republic - despite the advice on their web site, many of their shops use SIM-cutters to create a 0.76mm-thick SIM card for prepaid customers.
LycaMobile and Toggle Mobile - one of the fastest growing prepaid MVNOs in many developed countries, with prices very suitable for short-term visitors to a country. If you order a nano-SIM, they send you a hand-cut 0.76mm-thick SIM card.
What is Apple's official line on using hand-cut nano-SIMs? It would be useful to quote a knowledgebase article to the errant carriers.

Apple will support only SIMs that are manufactured in the correct size appropriate for the iPhone model. They will, as Tim said, instruct you to get a valid, correct SIM from your cell carrier should you have any problems with an iPhone that is using a cut-down SIM. And if a cut-down SIM causes damage to the iPhone, that will most likely void the warranty on the iPhone. The warranty statement has terms that exclude coverage for damage resulting from use of other products or caused by the user. So from that standpoint they have an "official position", if you wish to consider it as such.
Regards.

HT1391 Recently my iPod touch 4th gen. was stolen. I have had it for two years, so I don't have a warranty on it anymore. I reported it to the police, but what will apple do? This one kid reported to them that his was stolen and they gave him a new one.

This one kid reported to them that his was stolen and they gave him a new one. Will they do the same for me? Is there any other way I can get all my pictures from my iPod without iCloud set up? Would Apple be able to lock up my iPod so they cant use it at all? Please help me, thanks (:

Nothing... why would they do anything?
Apple does not provide insurance and they are not law enforcement.
