When will Apple respond?

When will Apple respond to what appears to be a very negative market response?
As a professional photographer who has purchased Aperture, what are your expectations in the very near future (6 months) for this new application?
Our company recently wrote this review for the Apple Store Aperture web page - it has not been posted.
"Aperture and the Professional Workflow...
Written by CJ from Toronto
Aperture is missing 'key' processing tools - as basic as an RGB info palette. Users have no way of confirming (by the numbers) that the image has been neutralized once the white balance tool has been used. Curves have been forsaken for an entirely new adjustment technique found in the histograms/levels section of the app - our company would have preferred the 'curves' approach. The 'Light Table' feature seems to lock-up on a system which exceeds Apple's suggested system configuration.
Our in-house analysis of Aperture=processed images has revealed problematic areas in sharpening, white balance, unwanted clipping and noise after somewhat subtle adjustments. While the program does a very good job of browsing through raw files, we do not recommend Aperture to professional photographers who are looking to deliver the absolute best raw conversions to their clients."
Is this review accurate?

I don't think it's about Aperture for Apple. Even though I'm sure Apple is expecting more than 4,000 customers for it's professional tool for Photographers (just like Canon sells more than 4,000 cameras for pros) the real opportunity is to win back market share for creative professionals as a whole while selling more 30" screens, G5 Duals and Quads, and all the other accessories.
From speaking with the Aperture product manager I'm clear about several points:
1. Apple doesn't really how far from the mark Aperture is -- and it will take them a while to accept how much more effort is needed.
2. They do realize that this is a 1.0 release and that following up quickly with updates that address people's real needs is important.
3. Apple has a real committment to this product and seeing it succeed.
Time will tell how well and how quickly apple will deliver. For now, I'd only buy Aperture if I got an amazing deal on it (i.e. someone selling it used cheaply!) otherwise I'm going to sit on the sidelines and wait a bit longer.

1.2 software when will apple respond?

The Ipod 1.2 software update has been causing a lot of trouble for many people. There are a ridiculous amount of bugs and it seems like apple hasn't tried to do anything to fix it. I'm just wondering when are they going to acknowledge that something is wrong?

And none for others.

The procress actually starts with the users experiencing problems. In order to acknowledge and fix a problem, it must first be brought to their attention. The more users who report a particular problem, the greater the chances that Apple technicians will will be able to isolate a solution. How many Apple iPod Feedback "Bug Reports" have you issued?

When will Apple allow background processes for the iPhone?

Can't find a suitable subforum so I'll post it here, please refer me to the correct Apple forum otherwise.
When will Apple allow background processes for the iPhone?
When will Apple allow Alerts from 3rd party apps?
Even my first Palm Pilot allowed developers to use Alert beeps.
Why is Apple crippling the iPhone?
If they continue this, Android will be the winner.
Or will the next SDK allow this?

Background processing, simply won't. They already said they won't and explained why.
However, they are currently adding "Push" ability to developers (soon). Originally they did say they were shooting for Sept (but obviously that has passed). Nobody can say "why" it is late or when it will come. Just know it is coming.
Push in case you don't know will let a service (one service) run in the background that apple makes for the phone. that service will ping apple's servers. Apps that want to "run" in the background have to register with that service thus lets say AIM is on your phone, you send a message and close...somebody responds. AIM's servers will send notification to the push service...then the phone will alert you of a notification in the AIM app, you open (thus starts the app again) and it gets the message.

When will Apple support h.264 with HE-AAC v2 (in AppleTV/Ipad) ?

Hello
When will Apple support h.264 with HE-AAC v2 (in AppleTV/Ipad) ?

Maybe because iPad2 has a faster processor

HT202157 When will Apple TV support Amazon Prime Instant Video?

When will Apple TV support Amazon prime instant video?

Most of the YouTube video subtitles are inserted by flash. Unfortunately, ios OS products don't support flash. If you do want to play them with subtitle, maybe you can use a video converter to help you convert YouTube videos to Apple TV. The only thing you should make sure before the conversion is that the videos that you download is bearing the subtitle, then the converted files would have the substitles as well. Hope that would help.

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".

When will Apple have a searchable text reader and upload file capability?

When will Apple have a searchable text reader and upload file capability? I have a large text file I need to upload to my iPhone, search, and dial.
Anything planned?

I had a Palm the I used for work and travel it had a very nice application called DOCUMENTS TO GO. It allowed you to upload, view, and edit .doc, .xls, and .ppt files. this was very handy when traveling. Also, I could sync my palm with my iMac and work PC using bluetooth, took care of the file transfers as well. I would like to have the same capability on my iPhone. I bought it to replace all of my old stuff i need it to the same as my old stuff. I hope that Apple reads this and gets on the ball. Until then I still have to carry my Palm or thumb drive on trips.

TS2755 When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy. I'll never buy another if I can text using SMS or MMS

When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy if you like texting family and friends. I'll never buy another one if I can't text using SMS or MMS. Is there any hope for a patch or new operating system to fix this issue, or an app to use with iPad Air

When will Apple update for Olympus E-5 RAW?

When will Apple update Aperture for Olympus E-5 RAW?

This is starting to annoy me at a level where I'm considering switching to Lightroom when they release a new major version number.
The D7000 hit the shelves about the same time as the E-5 and it's included in the latest update. I realize that Olympus is not exactly mainstream but neither is Aperture. If Apple wants to keep us happy then they must act within this year to supply that update. I doubt that will happen though.

When will apple support Canon EOS M3 Raw?

I have Canon EOS M3 and trying to import the produced raw in iPhoto, however, the format cannot be supported by iPhoto. This raw can be read by canon DPP 4.2.0(hosted in my MBA) and I believe it is because M3 is a new released camera model by Canon.
When will apple update iPhoto to support raw of M3?

APple never ever announces in advance, if an when raw support will be released for a new camera. only Apple knows. Sorry.

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.

Music, Photos, Videos... I can't sync anything for iPhone 4. When will Apple release the new version of iTunes?

I tried every methods up online trying to sync the music, photo, and videos. Nothing is working right now ever since I updated my ios to 7.
This is happening to most of people who owns iPhone 4, 4S, and 5. Does anyone know when will Apple release the new version of iTunes which will fix the sync problem?
What's the point of having a smartphone when you can't sync anything?

So when will Apple release their own iOS file browser built into the OS? No third parties apps....

iOS devices should have a native file brower app built into the OS... (It's hard to believe that Apple iOS devices can't read files from a Apple Time Capsule, right out of the box.) A iOS Finder should be preinstalled on all iOS devices. This is one feature that all other OS such as Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile have preinstalled on their own devices. So when will Apple release their own iOS file browser built into the OS? Please do not over look this request...

"This is one feature that all other OS such as Android, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile have pre-installed. . ."
Which is why those devices don't outsell; not as popular; or as desirable as Apple's iDevices.

When will Apple Support Ultraviolet Digital Copies?

This is something of a cross post for iPad & iPhone, but I won't be cross posting it as they can be a bit annoying.
I'm a huge fan of digital copies, wasn't once, but now am. Having digital copies is something that does factor into me deciding when to buy a film on Blu-Ray and when to wait.
The new thing that is being pushed now is Ultraviolet, a quasi-cloud type service, for digital copies. However it can only be used by a select few devices; Mac (and even Windows) don't support it. Personally I prefer the standard digital copy, I maintain my library, back it up when I make new purchases and save my recipets in case anything happens. And of course a big reason I prefer it is because I won't be hopping between two services for them.
My question is when will Apple support Ultraviolet Digital Copies? Or will there be an alternative where the Blu-Ray will include a code for a traditional digital copy that if used will void the UV copy and vice-versa?
I would personally prefer an alternative as I'd hate managing two accounts to handle my digital copies.
