What's with the new lightning cords??

I've only had my iPhone for a year and I have already gone through 7 chargers. I know many other people that have had the same problem.. I'm so tired of buying new chargers that continue to fail me.

Then you're choice,
try handling the cables a little more carefully ,as in pulling out at plug not tugging on wire

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.

HT1665 Bose sound dock with the new Lightning connection of an iPhone5?

There are many accessories for use with the original 30pin connector, how are we to use these still great and useful items like sound dock with the new lightning connector?

Use the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter - this will make your iPhone or iPod very wobbly on the SoundDock. To correct this and prevent damage to the 30-pin connector, make a upper support for your device from a white polymer eraser. Cut it in an 'L' shape as shown in the photo, the dimensions depending on whether you do or don't dock with a case. You'll find your device is even more stable than when you used the 30 pin adapter. One eraser will make 3-4 of these supports, depending on the dimensions you choose.

What's with the new maps ???

Is it just me or is anyone else who has downloaded the latest OS6 for iPhone 4S massively disappointed with the new apple maps. Google maps had far better quality images. Will they improve to google maps quality. If not, I want google maps back ASAP !!! Is it just me ???

Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bing/id345323231?mt=8
You can use Google Maps by creating a shortcut to the Home Screen with help from the article below.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/09/20/how-to-get-google-maps-on-ios-6
MapQuest also has a very nice app available.

Nokia Maps is another great service that you can add to your Home Screen via a web shortcut.

What's with the new version of numbers?

I can't open any of my numbers spreadsheets, and Apple is telling me that to open them that I have to get the latest version for $19.99. What's with this? Is there another alternative?

I can't open any of my numbers spreadsheets
How are you trying to open them? What error message are you getting?
Apple is telling me that to open them that I have to get the latest version for $19.99.
How is Apple "telling you" you need to pay $19.99? If you have been using Numbers 2.3 on your Mac, downloading Numbers 3.0 is free.

What's with the 'new' BIOS?

Does anyone know anything about the new beta BIOS 1.32? The text file in the ZIP sounds like 1.20, but the biggest file in there, a6702vms.132, is dated 05/02/04.

In 1.2 you could set the vCore above 1.6v! But now you can only set something like 1.57 (I can't remember exactly).
Also with this bios it seems that only the Auto vcore setting is worth using as I tried to bump mine up a little to 1.52 manually and then the vcore actually dropped to 1.3 or something!
Some weird goings on with these bios' at the moment.
On my board the highest option I've ever had was 1.55v. And I'm currently still using the 1.2 BIOS. I'll be giving 1.3b2 a shot tonight probably.

What's with the new edition of Pages using Maverick? Google rejects the files with the following message attached "The reason for the problem: 5.3.0 - Other mail system problem 552-'5.7.0 This message was blocked as its content security threat?

I recently upgraded both Pages 09 (I believe) and went to OSX 10.9 Maverick .... now I am unable to send a pages document to a friend on gmail. Google rejects the message and attachment with the following explanation -
The reason for the problem:
5.3.0 - Other mail system problem 552-'5.7.0 This message was blocked because its content presents a potential\n5.7.0 security issue.

Same Problem here
IWORKS 09 pages, keynote, numbers does not send in MAIL (mac) because of "This message was blocked because its content presents a potentialsecurity issue"
its a problem not only on GMAIL but also Live, Hotmail, Yahoo, and other services...
The problem is that gmail and others haved yet accepted the latest iworks 09 files. its a problem that apple can ask then to fix but its up to the gmail and others to fix it.
Solution!!!:
1 - Send it by exporting to office files
2 - Saving the files as old iwork documents
3 - Command P and save as PDF
4 - Save in icloud and send the URL
So you can still send them but have to take a bit more of your time
i hope you understand my english is not optimal
And if you have any questions feel free to ask me

What's with the new Samsung Spinpoint F1 ??

Good performance data reported at Tom's Hardware on the new Spinpoint F1 1TB, but the reviews at NewEgg are horrible. Any other feedback would be appreciated.

Comments by rob_ART here, and reader reports on

Rob said it worked much better through an SATA controller rather than on the internal SATA.

HT3965 What about with the new iTunes and a non iOS device like my iPod nano 4??

The apple help forums don't tell me how to rename a non iOS device with the newest iTunes where you can't highlight the name or even right click! Help?

What's with the new user acct after using Migration Asst? Can I merge users or should I even care?

I used Migration Assistant to bring over photos and music from my PC and a new user account was created on my iMac. I expected this since the instructions on the Apple site mentioned this would happen. But now that it's all over and done it really annoys me to have 2 user accounts. Is it something I should just accept or should I merge the accounts (if that's even possible)?
I would be very appreciative of any feedback

Please look over http://pondini.org/OSX/Setup.html towards the bottom where he discusses that. Once you have the data moved into the account you want you can remove the account you don't want by using the System Preferences - Users & Account. The remaining account must be an administrators account though.

What's with the new iTunes color background?

You see, today I opened iTunes and started seeing this pink/purple background. Is this the mandatory new face for the newest version of iTunes? Or is there anyway I can reverse back to the original clean, white background? Thank you.

What is with the new update of Safari

Why can I not go on google anymore( when it comes up now, all I see is Yahoo and 4 other stuff)

Have you checked
Settings>Safari>Search Engine. This is the setting for the default search engine that Safari will use when you search directly from the address bar. Try to change this setting to Google.
If you are speaking of the four icons (Apple, Disney, ESPN & Yahoo) that show up when tapping the address bar, these are simply favorites that are preinstalled with iOS 7.

HT4993 Whats up with the new update?

Why is everyone not being able to use imessage and faxetime

Everyone is not.
Only the millions of users that were insistent upon updating iOS today simply because it was released and now need to activate FaceTime and iMessage.
I chose not to update today, my iMessage has been working flawlessly all day.

In version 3.6 I can not open a website link from original page, I keep getting a new window that is blank and asking me to put in a web address. What has changed with the new version?

When on a page if I click on a web link I get a new window that is blank and asks me enter a web address. This started happening with the new 3.6 version. It seems to have something to do with what I choose for the location in my privacy settings as the window changes with each setting but I still cannot get to the new site. Any ideas? I have no problem with this in IE and I have to keep opening IE when I encounter the problem on Firefox which is annoying.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
