What's with the ios compatibility changes??

ios 7 was available for iPod 4 when 1st announced that the new software was coming out....but only for the 16g and up iPod 4 bought my kid an iPod 4 last Christmas and now she can't update! Not cool Apple!!! If the update is available for other device previous versions why not for the iPod 4

No, it was not. Again, Apple never said that the fourth-generation iPod touch would get iOS 7. In fact they said that it wouldn't back in June when iOS 7 was first announced. Quoting from the press release on June 10:
iOS 7 will be available as a free software update for iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, iPad mini and iPod touch (fifth generation) this fall.
The 16GB iPod touch in the Apple Store, released in late May, is a special edition of the fifth-generation model.
There's nothing further to be said. iOS 7 will not run on a fourth-generation iPod touch. Period.

  • Where's the music on iTunes, and what's with the quality and compatibility?

    I'm just curious as to whether anyone else has had this issue or not: Does anyone else feel like, after searching for specific songs, there's just little to nothing in the database? I feel like most of my searches are pointless because iTunes has either no data of my requested search and/or only has bits and pieces of it.
    Another question I have: After having a slightly successful search, why am I left with low quality tunes? I mean, you can hear the compression... badly. (I know it's not my speakers)
    Last question: If I'm paying for the song, shouldn't I be allowed to download a universal file? iTunes uses a unique format that no other application uses. In other words, more money has to be spend for m4a to mp3 converters (unless you're a cracker [not a racial comment]).
    To me, I value iTunes and its team, so I'm sorry if I've offended anyone. I understand there are contracts involved with the artists and it's hard to please ALL of the subscribers. But seriously, where's the music on iTunes, and what's with the quality and compatibility?

    Today I thought of finally putting lyrics on my songs. So I've been quite some time busy doing that, then I tried it on my iPad (2) and I can't find them. Just as the people above say. Then I went to search where I can find them and I found this page. I'm really dissapointed and I don't understand how something like this could happen. So I hope Apple will fix this soon.

  • At times, the type in the bookmarks toolbar as well as the tabs changes to white with a drop shadow on a white background, making it very difficult to read. I do not know what it causing the colors to change. Is there any way to fix this?

    Try a hard reset: hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

  • I got my iphone 5 3 weeks ago and the battery life is very short. It drains out very fast. Does anyone know if it's a problem with the iOS or with my phone? Because I'm a bit concerned

    I recieved my iPhone 5 3 weeks ago and the battery life completely *****! After doing a few things and maybe using it for about 30 minutes the phone start overheating like crazy then the battery starts dropping very fast. Does anyone know if it's a problem with the iOS or with my phone? And is anyone else expierenceing these problems?

    It sounds like you have an app that is incorrectly continuously using data and power... from normal use the phone should NOT be getting that warm... only constant video playing via data like Netflix for example would result in that...
    I'd say that you should remove all apps in the recent app tray... tunr phone off... then once you power back on...
    Hold BOTH home and sleep wake buttons together until you see a white apple symbol... then release both buttons...
    This will ensure you have no apps running...
    I've experienced a hang up with mail while out and about that has resulted in this on my iPhone as well... Once I performed these steps it was fixed... it seemed like it got stuck and that's what caused the warm phone and battery drain...
    I notived that when it gets stuck (mail app that is) I will see the text connecting at the bottom and it never changes to "updated" like it should... this is my trigger that it's gotten stuck.
    Have not really figured out what causes mail app to get stuck yet...

  • What's with the new Firefox 8.0? I made the mistake of updating mine and about 30% of the icons in bookmarks disappeared. It looks like you are requiring a favicon. Anyway, BAD IDEA!!!!!

    Briansyddal - you might be able to manage your phone without a PC, but many of us can't, especially those of us with large iTunes libraries.  How do you propose I manage my 250GB of music using only a phone?  Maybe I could go out and buy 10 iPhones and spread my library out among them!
    Catz537 - I have the same problem as you and I've spent hours on the web trying to find a solution to it.  It was a problem with iOS 7 and  8.1.1 doesn't fix it.  The the only advice from Apple is completely useless because it requires you, effectively, to delete and recreate your iTunes library and lose all your metadata, album art, notes etc and there's also no guarantee it will work.   I wish I could be more help (even more - I wish Apple could be more help) - I updated to 8.1.1 at 1400 today.  At 2200 I'm still "waiting for changes to be applied" for a measly 16GB of music transfer. 

  • Can AIR use the IOS Significant-Change Location Service?

    There seems to be no discussion on this topic what so ever so far as I can tell...
    Does anyone know if this can be used in AIR?

    There is no searchable information on AIR / AS3 / ANE implementing the IOS Significant change service.  
    Possibly AIR via Native Extension cannot do this?   Perhaps from some structural limitation of AIR?
    If someone has done this before with an ANE, enlighten us.

    The next iOS update won't change this.

  • What will be the consequences of changing the apple ID on my iPad to a different apple ID on my iMac?

    Hi,
    I have an (iPad 2) and an iMac (2012). I have one apple ID used for both the itunes and appstore on the iPad, and on the iMac a different apple ID used for the appstore and itunes. What will be the consequences of changing my email ID on the ipad to the one used on the imac? I don't want to delete the iPad apple ID, just never use it again. I just want to work with 1 apple ID over the 2 devices.
    I have purchased apps on the iPad and other documents/movies/books etc and if I sync to the iMac will all that be deleted? How can I just use the one apple ID for all? Does it mean that every time I connect my iPad to the iMac that I have to login to itunes using the iPad apple ID? Maybe it is that simple I don't know.
    What will be the consequences of doing this and is it possible?
    Thanks.

    settings->itunes & app stores->click appleID and choose logout

  • Is there something wrong with the IOS 6 update?

    Ever since I downloaded the iTunes IOS 6 update on my 2nd-gen iPad, I haven't been able to check my list of purchased apps in the purchased section the iTunes store app. I tried logging out & signing back in and I tried rebooting my iPad, but neither of them worked. Can you please fix the IOS update? Thanks if you and keep up the incredible work!

    Never mind, there's definitely something wrong with the IOS 6 update. Sometimes the App Store doesn't show that an app has been purchased & it only shows the price of the app. Other times, it doesn't show that an app is currently being downloaded or that it's installed.
    Still though, Apple, you really do need to fix this IOS 6 because the Purchased Apps section won't finish loading & display the ones that have been purchased. Also, you need to improve the App & iTunes gift card payment method because if you use a credit card & then switch back to gift card, it doesn't remember how much leftover money you had before & you can't combine the change from the previously-used ones together into one lump of money.
    32 cents isn't enough to buy anything, not even a $0.99 app. The money is going by without being used and its a waste of money! If it's possible, please fix these two problems. Thanks if you do & keep up the incredible work!!!!!
