When will apple start announing ipad compatible external superdrives?

So, we will become able to watch dvds on an ipad and create dvds on an ipad then.

The preferred business model seems to be to stream, store and access content via the internet. thus accessing it via dvd doesn't quite fit into that. They wouldn't have spent so much money on iTunes if they had a plan for physical media.
As to making dvd's, video processing takes a LOT of processor power, more than an ipad can crank out. ANd why make physical copies when the internet and cloud storage can be used for data transfer?

  • 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?

  • When will Apple make an ipad that lets you make and receive phone calls?

    When will Apple make an ipad that lets you make and receive phone calls?

    The iphone is too small for me to use for the internet (maybe it's my age)-- especially for Facebook--where I am a Page Administrator, but the mini ipad would be just right for both phone and internet. I'll bet they make a new ipad able to make and receive phone calls right after I buy the current one.

  • When will apple start selling unlocked iPhone 6 in the U.s

    hello
    i searched in the UK store and the Australian store and the option for the unlocked iPhone 6 is available but the devices itself is not yet but the taxes are much higher and the phone is much more expensive from the U.S store
    when will apple start selling unlocked phones in the u.s ?
    thanks

    No one knows that at this point.  In the recent past, the unlocked iPhones started out as only available in the retail Apple stores and not by on-line order.  When they will be available or how has not been announced so far.
    Keep in mind that purchasing an iPhone in another country is not a great idea since the warranty is only valid in the country of sale so if anything would go wrong there would be no service or support in another country.

  • When will Apple stores have iPad Minis in stock equipped with ios 7?

    Now that ios 7 has been introduced, new devices will be in stores with the upgrade already installed.  I would like to buy a new Mini with the upgrade already in place.
    Anyone know when that will be?

    No one knows.
    You will have to wait for Apple's announcement.

  • When will apple start providing drivers for new mononchrome laser printers?

    I have been looking for a new monochrome laser printer to replace an old one. I looked at Brother, HP and Samsung laser printers. Every one I look at has drivers for 10.8. I have no need for airprint or a multifunction printer (I already have an excellent scanner and 2 inkjet color printers). Does anyone have any suggestions? I have to say this printer driver thing is getting a little old.
    Lindsay

    Apple doesn't provide the drivers.  The printer vendors do.
    My general rule is to always get a laser printer with Postscript support, which can almost always be printed to, even when the vendor abandons the printer.  It costs more, but I get a much longer life from the printer.
    Having said that, my Wife and I are using Mavericks and printing to our networked HP M1536dnf MFP (multi-function printer - print, scan, fax, copy).  I do not know if the drivers were updated for any specific release of Mac OS X (they could have been, I just do not know), but I got the printer when I was running Snow Leopard (10.6) and I can still print and scan with it (I have not tried go FAX, but then again, I can do that manually from the printer itself, so I do not need to use the Mac unless I do not want to print the stuff to FAX first (which would be a benefit, if I needed to actually FAX).

  • When will apple stop being stubborn and start supporting flesh video?

    When will apple stop being stubborn and start supporting flesh video? I cannot fully use CNBC or Bloomber, for example, on IPAD. This is really not how to treat your customers

    I believe Apple is all about innovation, simplicity & thinking of the box. Adobe Flash is an old technology - which over the years has not been developed or succeeded with a better offering from Adobe, leaving behind an application that is slow, buggy and a resource hog. When Apple creates technologies it thinks about future, which is the key to success. Like everyone you too should moved on. HTML 5 is the way to go.

  • When will Apple put the Adobe Flash version on the iPads?

    When will Apple put the MS Adobe Flash version on the iPads?  The iMac desktop has Quick Time, but there's nothing for the iPads that I know of.

    Guess you haven't seen the analysts reports and sales numbers for Android tablets lately... Or heard that the tablet optimized version of IE in Windows 8 will be plug in free... Or heard that Adobe is now pushing a server product that will convert Flash video to HTML 5 for use on mobile devices.
    A 1980 Chevy Chevette will do the same thing as a 2011 Mustang. I guess Ford is going to go out of business when everyone starts driving Chevettes.

    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

    That isn't going to happen. Adobe has not only given up on iOS, they have given up on all mobile device now.
