When will Apple solve battery issues, this is crazy! MB Air instead of up to 8 hours of battery life, 4:32 on average!

Apple really needs to fix the battery life problem or come with a downgrade option to 10.7 and refund our expenses for buying 10.8 !!!!!!

    When will Apple resolve its issue with Adobe so iPad users can access flash?

    That isn't going to happen. Adobe has not only given up on iOS, they have given up on all mobile device now.
    Why do you think you need Flash?

  • When will Apple resolve burning issues?

    Many pages on this board show issues with iTunes failing to burn CDs. Numerous makes and models and operating systems are involved. Error messages, failure to complete the burning process with no error, etc.
    We can all run our diagnostics, change settings, update firmware, as many of us have done with no success.
    Will the folks at Apple give us a fix?
    This is obviously an inherent problem since most of us can burn CDs in other programs and formats.
    My issue - iTunes just stops after initiating the process. It checks the playlist and then nothing.
    This began two updates ago during the 7 series update I believe.
    Settings are OK. HP has been contacted. Everthing is OK on my end.
    Where are you Apple?

    I was able to get my computer to run diagnostics on my CD drive. Oddly enough I opened the task manager window and ran diagnostics returning the following output:

  • When will Apple solve all the problems with Yosemite

    I have problems with Wifi, Mail ,Safari, computer waking up and resuming activity etc...

    Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
    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.
    Feedback
    Mail Feedback
    Or you can use your Apple ID to register with this site and go the Apple BugReporter. Supposedly you will get an answer if you submit feedback.

  • When will Apple fix CS5 issues?

    So... my newly acquired CS5 set-up (Macbook Pro mid-2009, 8GB RAM) has been crashing like a hijacked plane ever since Apple gave us the wonderful 10.6.4 update.  Adobe even have a support document to this effect: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/854/cpsid_85423.html
    Which is basically a giant shrug of the shoulders.
    Now, is it just me or is this one giant joke that such an expensive combination of software and hardware would be completely unusable?

    posting your video card info would be helpful -- there are some known issues with certain cards that are causing these problems
    i recall it is the nvidia cards that have the problem i am referring to
    apple is aware of the problem

  • When will apple fix the disappearing cursor problem in MacBook Air?

  • When will Apple come with an update so 2010 Macbook Airs again can use the Appstore?

    the problem appears in Lion and Mountain Lion and came with the last update to the operating system

    well, Apple fixed the problem and if so, thank you.
    I have a late 2010 Macbook Air, and I did the following:y
    formatted the SSD disk and installed Snow Leopard again from the usb-stick and made the updates
    Then I made a partition called Lion and downloaded Lion from App Store in Snow Leopard and installed it on the partition called Lion. The version of Safari with it was 5.1.6 and App Store worked. Then I made a copy of Safari to the desktop, updated Lion (except Safari). Then I transferred settings etc with Transfer assistant from my Mac mini to my Macbook Air in Lion. Safari 5.1.6 was not working, but App Store worked and Firefox did.
    Then I downloaded Mountain Lion once more from App Store and installed it over Lion.
    And ... hooray.... Safari is version 6 and App Store is working

  • When will Apple have the audio driver problems repaired?

    Cannot find Audio Devices !!!!!!?????
    No Cuebase ???? No Presonus hardware interface !!!
    Now that all new macs ship with OSX Lion when Will Apple solve the problem I would have thought the engineers would have seen this coming and thought this through.
    I had to downgrade back to Snow Leopard!! The whole incedent cost me valuable time and money
    I loved the Lion interface but c'mon guys ...!!! did you hire a bunch of laid off microsoft windows Vista programmers or something? 
    I can't believe you all made such an obvious mistake "not making OSX Lion backwards compatible with Snow leopard proven third party drivers"
    I did not expct this from Apple ..What a disapointment ......

    It's up to Samsung to do that, not Apple. You need to ask them.

  • 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

  • Will Apple help me with this issue?

    Dear Sir or Madam,
    I am a student in China, I really need your help, my iphone now problems bothers me! HELP ME PLEASE!!!
    As I bought my iPhone 4s(16GB,White) in the USA from Sprint, full price with tax,  unlocked ,it was excepted to be a global phone. But now I come across with some problems in China  using local carrier.Now I am in China, not the normal use of the phone, I rely on odd jobs to earn, very not easy, English is not my mother tongue, maybe there are many grammatical mistakes, I hope you'll forgive me! Mobile phone can not be used normally I am very sad, I can not contact the parents and friends, can not let them worry about me, I've tried all means, including the upgrade to 6.1, but still can not solve the problem, I think maybe I am in China, so can not be used normally, at this moment I am very anxious, because of the time difference, it is later I can send mail, you can see it, please help me, a Chinese student's request!
    I tried all the possible solutions from the Internet, and the Official solution offered by Apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4459), but it doesn't seem to work.
    Will Apple help me with this issue? Please do.THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

    We are not Apple, and Apple does not unlock phones. Sprint will unlock phones, but you have to qualify. One of the qualifications is to have been a customer in good standing for a period of time. You can check their website for what that is. After that, they can unlock the GSM side of the phone for International use, that is it. If you are on a CDMA carrier, then it cannot be unlocked. Are you trying to use a local SIM card in China?
    Your only option is to contact Sprint to see if you qualify for an unlock. Only they can unlock it. Sprint is one of the poorest choices to take to another country.

  • When will Apple give the Battery Percentage option for the iPod?

    When will Apple give the Battery Percentage option for the iPod?

    It's hard to tell since Apple has never included it in all generations of the iPod and I assume you mean the iPod Touch.
    Apple could place it in the sixth generation iPod Touch but Apple has been pretty tight lipped on the possiblity of one coming. It's been since 2012 when the fifth generation arrived in the fall so the iPod lineup is due for an upgrade. Some reports say it won't come this year and others say different. But with the new iPhone expected to debut with larger screen it is still possible the new iPod will come with a larger screen alongside the new iPhone. It happened back in 2012.
    But no one really knows. Until then download an app to measure your battery percentage. I have battery doctor and it's really useful to determine how much battery my iPod has left and it also can clean up your memory and any junk files.

  • When will Apple fix the iTunes update msvcr80.dll issue?

    Just for the records, my Windows iTunes has become unusable, too. The buggy update 11.4.1 ist still offered to my other windows installations. At least, it should be immediately pulled back.
    When will Apple deliever an automated bugfix to this update-mess? I do not intend to de-install and reinstall all my Apple-programs on my Windows machine (in fact, I don't use iTunes on Windows  anymore, my Macs run flawless and there I have the actual database). Apple: you broke it. You fix it.

    These are user to user support forums.  There is no logical reason to expect a response from Apple here.  Frankly Apple rarely releases statements, only software updates.

    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.

    There is no charge to use iCloud. It is free.
    You may have optionally chosen to pay $40 to upgrade the storage space in your iCloud account, but that charge is not to use iCloud itself - just to upgrade the storage.
    MobileMe never had any guarantees either - even at $100 a year. I guess you never read the Terms of Service you agreed to when signing up?
