When will Apple offer a Security Update with ntp 4.2.8? In the meantime, are there companies/Consultants that provide online help?

I have a Macbook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.1. Have tried to follow steps to patch npt 4.2.8, but it gets a little too complex when it comes to installing the Xcode into Terminal. Has anyone been able to complete this process? Appreciate any help. Thanks.

my online security company has put me out of compliance with PCI because I don't have ntp 4.2.8.
Why would anyone care what versions of software you have on your Mac? I got out of the roll-your-own-credit-card-merchant-account stuff when PCI came along. I really don't know what it requires. If you want to do that though, you need to play it smart. What kind of machine is PCI actually checking? Is this a server or something? Then give them what they want. That doesn't mean you have to use it. I guarantee that all of the massive hacks the past few years of millions of credit card companies were all perpetrated against companies with perfect PCI compliance. That is a regulatory requirement. To be regulated, you must meet that requirement. Don't let requirements dictate security. Instead, handle your security properly. Then, PCI is happy because you meet their automated tests, your customers are happy because their data is secure, and you are happy because you are using a Mac.

Nvidia 7900 GFX card now out!! When will Apple offer it???

Nvidia 7900 GFX card now out!! When will Apple offer it???
Hoping to get one and run Aperture with it sooner rather then wait months like usuall. PC users always get to use it before us
Where can a person order the 7800 from anyway??? Anyone know?

This would be more of an Apple request than Nvida idea. Apple have certain G5 customers to keep sweet (specificially ME!) who want to trade-up. NVida is not going to decide to offer a specific 7900/7600 card for such a low demand. So its Apples decision, i guess, to make the request, set engineering specs and prices. NVida might just want to charge a steep premium to customise the card bios, debug and then test it. Apple really need to put effort into this for our sake.
All this may be irrelevant IF there is a contract between Apple and NVida that states nVida supply 'latest and greatest' video cards no matter what technology nvida is using. Who knows.
What is worrying is we are such a small quantity of (dual-core) users who need a card upgrade that some toad may think it not worthwhile. Time will tell, but Joe Scherr's (sp?) comment on the 'dual 6600' thread is encouraging.

WHEN will Apple have a new update or fix on their iOS ?

WHEN will Apple have a new update or fix on their iOS ?
Drives me crazy this iSlug 4s aka iPhone 4super slow...
Before iOS 8 it was faster in everything I do, now it even gives me a 3-5second black screen before an app opens......
Come time and money I will switch to Samsung Galaxy S5....
Can't wait for that day !

I tried about most of the trouble shooting tips on the internet, I even did a clean install with ALL the apps,
Update the iOS and even the still black or blue screen for 2-4 seconds between a app opening , all the apps are closed down like nothing runs in the background....
I even cut most of my images to the Macbook and on DropBox or GoogleDrive...
When I tried to chat online to Apple Care, after I inserted the serial number, it gave me a message that the device has been replaced, please contact Apple care.....
It is like running in circles to get an answer....
Speaking to an Apple guru on the phone is like " Oh just make an appointment and leave it here for repairs...."
This is the only phone I run my business from...

When will Apple fix ITunes to work with Windows 7 (64)?

After many attempts, iTunes (10.5.1) can not synchronized with iPod . If I import musics or create a personal folder, all info will disappear after I close and re-open later iTunes. However works perfectly under Windows XP. It looks like an incompatibility problem between these two... When will Apple stop denying this and fix the problem? Two other friends have Windows 7 and they experience the same problem! All programs (iTunes, QuickTime and Bonjour were uninstalled and all folders removed from the computer. Even regestries were cleaned up!....Re-installed twice but iTunes still not function normally as far as synch features.

I don't know about iPod, but I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium x64 and other than a current problem accessing the iTunes store, it seems to work OK. I can sync my iPhone fine. Do you have a conflict with another software package you are running, like an anti-virus or firewall? It might not be, but in troubleshooting sync problems with my PC and iPhone previously, I found that I had a conflict with a firewall. The firewall has since been updated and is behaving nicely with iTunes now, but they can sometimes be a problem. Anyways, I hope this helps, but thought I'd mention that my Win7 x64 and iTunes 10.5.1 seems to sync OK in case it helps you to look for other causes to the problem.

When will Apple stop binding their clients with wasted memory and space?

There are many like myself that will never use some of the built-in apps yet they persist all The same.
With no legal means of removal through iTunes, these apps degrade the product.
When will Apple create the option many of their clients want and allow these superfluous apps to be removed?

Until if/when Apple announce something nobody on here will know, and speculation about Apple and their policies isn't allowed here

How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? Because of the update on apple ID, when I try to delete icloud account I have to put in the password, and it says username or password is invalid (because no longer apple ID).

How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? When I try to delete icloud account (in settings-icloud-delete account) I have to put in the password for the apple ID of my old email address, which is no longer my apple ID, and it says username or password is invalid (I'm guessing because that is no longer my apple ID).

You will wait for the rest of your life. You need to fix it; no one else will. To turn off "Find my iPhone" and its associated Activation Lock you need the Apple ID and password that were used to turn it on. If you know the Apple ID you can contact Apple Account Security and have them reset the password (after you prove you are the rightful owner of that Apple ID). see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.
If you don't know the Apple ID the phone is permanently unusable.

When will apple stop allowing to update apps with ios5/iPod 3 gen?

Hey
I am a Celtic heroes player, a mmo app available in the iTunes store, it will be updated soon, but it will be the last update where iPod 2gen (or ios4) will be supported. Now I play on an iPod 3 gen and I was wondering how long apple will still allow apps to be updated with iPod 3the gen / iOS 5 support.
Tyvm

Ty for your reply but it doesn't give me an answer on my question tho.
What I would like to know is when apple will stop allow new apps to run on ios5 or iPod 3 or existing apps to be updated with iPod 3 g or iOS 5 support.

When will Apple sort out import issue with new itunes?

As it says... when will I see "gracenote" syncing, album, track, and cover art etc. when importing?
Message was edited by: KFF

My question and concern is related to what you are saying. I am not sure about your exact concern though. I don't really know what gracenotes is.
My own concern is that I simply cannot find itunes to be functional at all for importing or burning CDs.
How can this be functional if you can only burn playlists? That decision in the new iTunes may be nice for Apple if they want to sell more media or make it more difficult to easily copy stuff. The problem is that anytime you import a CD, the tracks don't necessarily go into the library perfectly. You alway end up with Duplicates. Why on earth would they make the the one thing that people like to do: drop a CD in and copy it with perfect reproducibility more difficult? If you try this with a mixed CD, it will not only mess up your library temporarily and make you have to corral all of these files just to create a playlist and burn the stupid thing, but it wastes so much time. It can also makes a huge mess with duplicates in your library. I cannot tell you how frustrating this is. I will never use the most updated version of iTunes again unless there is something I am missing. If anyone knows an easier way to go about this please let me know.
Thanks,
Robert

When will Apple offer a "print current page" option????

There are 2 things I like about Windoze:
1. I am tired of having to tab to the pages area of the print dialogue box and type 2 & 2 again, when I really wish Apple would just put a print current page option.
Can anyone who works @ apple see that it gets implemented next update?
2. And also make it so we can resize a window from any side? Windoze does it, why not apple?

Chris,
Sorry, but this is a user-to-user discussion forum. There is no one from Apple paid to read and respond to these posts. I have Never seen an Apple employee respond to the subject of a post here - only administrative stuff like You're not allowed to use that kind of language here, etc.....
Please go to the Tiger Mac OS X Feedback area - that is the place to give input to Apple.

When will Apple offer more than just THEIR brand of cases for the 6 Plus?

I bought a Project Red leather case for my 6 Plus. I have also ordered a Tech 21 case, but the shipping from the UK was $15. I'd love to be able to order a couple of more Tech 21 cases, but I don't want to pay high shipping costs like that again.

Yes, I have. I want Tech 21 since it is my favorite brand. However, they are from the UK and it costs around $15 to ship to the U.S. Apple generally has some awesome Tech 21 cases and I'm hoping that they'll offer them soon for the 6 Plus. Any idea when Apple will offer more than just their brand on their online store? The closest Apple retail store is a couple of hours from me....

When will apple start releasing a good selection of proper movies?

When will apple start releasing a good selection of proper movies? I think people are a little frustrated at the limited choice. HD seems to be ignored. I love my Apple TV but I need good quality content if I am to take it seriously.
Does Apple look at these posts?

apple can only provide what they are allowed to provide by the rights owners.

I've tried to conduct a secure erase with disk utility. I highlight the drive but erase options are not available.

I tried to conduct a secure erase with disk utility. I highlight the drive but there's no place to click "erase."

If you have an SSD, then the best thing you can do it enable System Preferences -> Security -> FileVault, so that any deleted files are just an encrypted jumble of bits to anyone that does not have the encryption key.
And even if you do erase the SSD, it does not work the way you think, and retired SSD zones may have your data, and never see an erase.
This is way keeping the SSD encrypted means retired zones are just encrypted jumble of bits.
If you do NOT have an SSD, is it possible you are trying to erase your boot disk while you are actually using your boot disk? Disk Utility will not allow you to do that either.

When Will Apple Update iWeb?

Im wondering and asking when will Apple find the time to update Iweb?
They have the potential to have the best software for those that want to make lovely sites.
It would need to be of the Iphoto standard or even slightly more advanced with better updated templates.
Now that we have updated OS and now our retina devices we need that standrd to create.
Please Apple fill our needs!

I haven't seen an official notice of discontinuation. But even if iWeb has been discontinued (as its absence suggests), we're all just users like yourself here so would only be able to speculate on the reasons — and, according to Support Community etiquette, we are to "avoid speculation".
