When is apple going to have touch screen iMacs and power books?

Every kind of PC has touch screen now including TVs. It's hugely disappointing that apple is not embracing this especially since they started the movement to touchscreen with the IPhone. Are there plans to begin using touchscreens if not is there a reason? Thanks for any information you might have. 

kind of feel like Apple's losing its "cutting-edge, innovative, pushing new technology, user friendly options & ideas" identity with the passing of Mr. Jobs.
I feel that touch-screen functionality & TV are two areas he would have broached by now if he was still with us to champion them through. Along with, I'm certain, others only he could of come up with.

  • When is Apple going to fix the screen saver

    I've read some threads on how to stop the screen saver from changing back from settings that the user applies and none of them seem to work. So, When is Apple going to fix this problem?

    These are mostly user to user discussions, so we don't know.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • When is apple going to fix the "no service" and dropping calls on iPhone 4s?

    Since you said MY IPHONE the answer is that Apple is never going to fix it unless you call them or take it to a store for diagnosis. MY IPHONE has none of these problems. And it doesn't have a battery problem either.

  • How do I transfer data from one time capsule to new time capsule when TC backs up an iMac and Power Book

    How do I transfer data from one time capsule to new time capsule when TC backs up an iMac and MacBookPro

    It is generally better to leave the old backups and start again.. unless there is something you particularly need.
    But if you desperately want all the old backups you have to copy the sparse bundles.. this will take very long time as it must copy via the computer..

    Take particular note of the initial comments.. ie before you read how to do it.. don't do it.

  • When is Apple going to fix the screen size bug???

    How long has it been since iTunes version 11 was released? There has been an screen size issue (bug) since the release date that is more than annoying.
    Also, since I don't normally vent on support communities, I will take this opportunity to list some features that would be a nice addition to iTunes.
    ADD ADVANCE FUNCTIONS TO SEARCH. My iTunes library is huge (mostly music). It would be great to have a search function for specific composer, title, genre etc...
    It would be stupendous to add a global search function across all levels of iTunes. For example: search for a specific title in Music, Movies, TV Shows, iTunes Store etc. all at the same time.
    Add a feature to disable "Up Next". I personally don't like the added functionality in version 11, and prefer the earlier versions.
    Bring back the Album/song view.
    Windows 8 Pro 64bit
    iTunes 11.0.1.12

    1.   ▼
    2. But really, really slow if you include the iTunes Store, which presumably, is why you asked your first option, which actually does exactly what you say you don't want in your first point.
    3.   ▼
    4. Something like this perhaps?...
    which has the Sidebar (with Playlists, connected devices etc. etc.), the top menu bar, and is showing the Column Browser, with choices to show or not show the columns for Albums, Artists, Genres, and the songs all listed underneath?
    Yes, it's iTunes 11!
    And if that last view is not the one you mean, I'm sure it's there somewhere.

  • When is Apple going to FIX ALU?

    This is a great app /utility with use in multiple programs. When's Apple going to get off their buts and fix it?

    Your right!! I should have given details.
    I don't like the new music app for iOS 5.
    You need to constantly use iTunes to change play list content etc.
    Podcasts won't play in a loop.
    Even the iPhone has more control in the music app.
    I wish Apple had given more music tools instead of removing them.
    I am having a hard time finding the feedback form. Can you help with a link?
    I'll bookmark it for future use.
    Thanks

  • The volume on my iPad 3 has dropped considerably. I have read quite a few posts and followed advice re doing reset and checking settings. Nothing has worked. WHEN IS APPLE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

    The volume on my iPad 3 has dropped to a very low setting. I have tried all the suggestions with setting and did a reset, nothing works and it seems this is an issue with many others. When is Apple going to address this problem?

    You aren't talking to Apple here. This is a user to user technical help forum hosted by Apple. We are all users here.
    For what it's worth I haven't see any change in volume on my iPad 3.

  • When is Apple going to fix the problems with IOS8 Safari either won't work or is very slow.why can't you contact Apple themselves rather than this method?

    ssince updating my IPad to IOS8 Safari does not work properly ie Marriott website it tells me no server is available yet Google works and other web search have the same problem when is Apple going to get fixes out soon I hope.Also why can't we contact Apple direct on this matter ?

    Try some basic troubleshooting steps. Clear Safari, force close the app and reset the iPad.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
    In order to close apps in iOS 8, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    There re are ways to contact Apple directly. Look here for help.

  • I updated to iTunes 10.5 on Vista. As with iTunes 10.0, The DEP will not allow iTunes to open.  WHEN IS APPLE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE?  I can't update my telephone or iPod.  I can't even open the iTunes program!!!

    I am sick of dealing with this issue.  I wish not that I had never even started using any Apple products, beginning with iTunes.  WHEN IS APPLE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND MAKE ITUNES SOMEHOW COMPATIBLE WITH DEP IN WINDOWS VISTA?
    That being said, Is there any way to resolve this?  What I did in the past is completely wipe ALL Apple files from my computer, and install an older version of iTunes.  It was at least functional.  It seems that any version of iTunes 10.0 or more recent is not compatible with the Data Execution Prevention in Windows.  You can not remove iTunes from DEP, yet DEP prevents iTunes from running.
    The down side is that I can't get the latest updates for my iPhone or iPod.  Now, I have a new phone for my husband that needs syncing on my iTunes, and I can't do that because iTunes won't even open.
    Can somebody help me out with this, please? 

    OK, lets do a complete overhaul to make sure it's working ok.
    First to check your Windows system file for any corruption:
    Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
    type in
    sfc /scannow
    let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
    Restart the computer.
    Start iTunes and see if it is ok.
    If it doesn't, will have to go through the whole process of uninstalling and installing acccording to the following steps:
    1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
    2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    (Referenceinstructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components)
    3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

  • I wish to put my photo albums in alphabetical order.  Advice was to right click on pane at left.   I do not have a left pane on my i-pad and only have touch screen,what do I "right click" with and how do I get a "left pane" in my Photos folder?

    I would like to put my i-pad photo albums into alphabetical order.  The advice received previously was to "right click" on an album in the left pane.   I do not have a left pane in my photos folder, how would I get this?   Also I only have touch screen so what would I "right click" with? thank you

    I don't have iPhoto on my iPad, so I can't help with that, but you must have looked at advice for a Mac computer? Maybe browse the iPhoto for iOS forum?

  • When is Apple going to fix the problems with FCP and Leopard

    Apple,
    This is a nightmare.
    I wish I never did the upgrade.
    It's horrible that Apple released an OSX update that doesn't work with some of the most used Apple applications.
    I don't know what I should do.
    Compressor doesn't work, export using Quicktime is having problems...and that's just what I've found so far.
    When is Apple going to fix this mess?
    Hingefactor

    Did you heed ANY of the warnings that were posted here, on LAFCPUG.org, or the CreativeCow.net? We gave many pointers on what to do before you upgrade, so that if you do run into issues with the new (and you WILL run into issues with the new OS) you could always go back to the stable version.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1185645&tstart=150
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1196292&tstart=300
    Apple will fix it when they fix it...that's all we can say. Keep sending in your issues and when they can, they will issue updates.
    The rule of thumb is that if you have a good working edit system, don't mess with it. The machine that I use to earn a living, that is still on 10.4.9 and FCP 5.1.4. My laptop, that I use occasionally for editing, but mainly for e-mail, word processing, web surfing, that I updated. And I am testing FCP on this. So far, I am not suffering any issues.
    If you backed up your system, you could have gone back to it.

  • When is Apple going to fix the problem with slow Time Machine backups with Mavericks?

    I have been with Apple tech support and they got my Time Machine working by doing a spotlight re-indexing and a safe boot.  This worked for about three days and I am back to very slow backups.  It is impossible for Time Machine to back up every hour when it takes six hours to do the back up.  I don't want to take hours to re-index with spotlight all the time.  I think taking six hours to do an incremental backup is a bit much.  I see that there are many people that have this trouble and it all started with an upgrade to Mavericks.  The question is when is Apple going to fix this problem of slow backups with Time Machine for Mavericks.  I have wasted more time than I care to.  I am think of going back to Windows.  I need good solid backups of my machine and Apple has taken it away with the new Mavericks. Oh, I am using the UBS 3.0 connection so the drive should not be the problem.  Also this has occurred in about the last five months, so I am not sure this problem was in the original Marvericks.

    Allen Thanks for your reply.  All I can say is several months ago Time Machine quit working in a reasonable manner.  Right now I have a Time Machine backup that has been running all night and still has three hours to go to backup 6 GB of data.  I am using a OWC 1.5 TB drive connected directly to my MacBook with a USB 3.0 connection.  In the resent past I have added Dropbox, GoogleDrive and a MAMP server on which I am using a program called Learning With Text from Sourceforge.  There have been a lot of questions on the forum about people having very slow Time Machine back ups, so it appears to be a general problem.  I should also state I am getting this very slow backup after doing the Spotlight re-indexing and the Safe Restart procedure that was told to me by apple support.  I have a 750 GB drive in my MacBook Pro which I am constantly trying to keep at a 5% level of free space.  This might be a problem also.  However, I am working on a lot of things and like to have a lot of things on my drive.  Also the heavily loaded drive has not be a problem in the past.  This slow backup business started about three months ago, so something has happen in a very short time period.  Now it seems even the procedure that Apple support gave me is not working.  Currently I am in China and it is difficult to interact with Apple support to solve this problem, but because I am in China having my computer backed up is critical. I have run the EtreCheck and am attaching the results below. I would appreciate any suggestions.  If necessary I will clear out more of my hard drive if that appears to be a solution.  The Time Machine drive was recently reformed so I only have a few backups on it.  I also don't run the Time Machine all the time as I don't want multi-hour backups running all the time.  I run it every few days.
