When will we see an upgradable and recyclable Retina Notebook?

When I see the new Apple products, be it Retina notebook, ipad or imac, I get angry.
I don't need and don't want a product which sacrifies environment for design.
When will Apple again be avantgarde and design recyclable, reusable and upgradable products?
The stuff I'm seeing frightens me. I stick to Apple since 1993. I've gone through the lows and highs.
What I'm seeing now makes me think to move to a Windows/Linux PC for political reasons. And I really do hate standard PC's.
Apple, please explain yourself!

This is, of course, right. Sad enough.
What I want to say is that Apple goes backwards instead of forward in terms of sustainability. Previous Macbooks were modular, upgradable and better recyclable. The latest products from Apple, all above the retina notebooks, are produced to be trash after 2-4 years. The new imac seem to be just this, too. Who the **** needs a slimmer imac? The display can't be disassembled, the battery can't be changed, many things are glued and/or soldered without any flexibility. Don't get me wrong, Apple products are great, usually work well and are simply beautiful. I work with them since 1993. But along with Apple's intentions to user data collection and latest design directions I start having a problem with it.
But why do I read more objections in the forum instead of support in the same direction? Our opinion matters! And Apple DOES read these user-to-user talks.
Apple is now the big guy. They earn tons of money. They are the worldwide leader, they get all the attention, they have responsibility! They could be the one producing the greenest hardware ever. Particularly with the retina display I would wish to have the possibility to upgrade all the components using the same housing/display/power supply. This display won't be obsolete for the next 10 years.
Imagine what this could save. Imagine what marketing message this would be to the community. Apple could only win. They would lose possibly one lifecycle's display/housing margin, but could compensate this on the replacement components while getting the world's applause.

    Nobody can tell you when you'll need to upgrade, as it depends on the software you're running, the operating system that software requires, and the state of your hardware. You've added memory, which you needed to do with Mountain Lion, and you could replace the hard drive with an SSD for better disk performance.

    When I open iTunes it is slow to open for one, and two when it does see my iPhone and i go to sync it this is what I get in return... The iPhone "My Name here" could not be synced because the iPhone could not be found on the network. that is a pop up box in middle of screen that says that it does it like every time I go to sync the phone after i do app updates. I am getting very frustrated by this can someone please help. I have made 2 other discussion topics about this and no replies on them. Please if anyone can help I ask for help. This has occurred ever since the iOS 5.1 update and the iTunes 10.6.0 and still continues with the iTunes 10.6.1 update just yesterday and perhaps even worse now. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. I have looked through my network settings etc and everything looks good here on my side.

  • 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.

    Just your line that is ported gets the Early Termination Fee if you are still in contract.
    If you keep the other lines active you are still responsible for them.
    Good Luck

  • When will Adobe Muse support ordered and unordered lists?

    When will Adobe Muse support ordered and unordered lists instead of forcing users to create manually formated bullet points? I've asked this question before, but never saw an answer to it. I know others have asked it as well. Adobe has set a high bar with its other solutions. It doesn't look good that Muse does not support ordered and unordered lists at this late date.

    Lance,
    Thanks for responding - I guess I pushed a button
    My perception of the forums and response from Adobe is based upon looking at most of the postings in the "bugs" forum. There are lots of reads, very few replies.
    Given the fact that many users have asked about bullets and other basic text formating I am surprised that there is still no sign of them. Perhaps it is felt that there are workarounds that will do. The truth is, as you noted, that none of the workarounds are great, some are not even practical. For my specific case, I would have been happy to use workaround #1, except that the line items were hyperlinks, and I needed to open them in a separate window using the javascript window.open function. As I've detailed in other posts, there is a real problem with this in Muse. Hyperlinked javascript calls are invoked via the "href=" attribute, but this doesn't work properly in a number of browsers. There isn't a way to tell Muse to use onclick instead (which works for all browsers). This led me to have to use embedded html.
    That leads me to try #2, which is to use CSS styling in the embedded html. This too gave me fits. Using a <style> section to set the attributes for <ul> or <li> did not work. I can only assume that the tags inside the embedded HTML have a Muse-generated id or class. I tried to get the bullets by setting the list-style-type in the <ul> tag itself using the style attribute, but this did not work (it should). It does work if you put the list-style-type in the <li> tags. This is pretty tedious, and led me to create text files containing the html separate from Muse so that I can use an editor to copy repeated strings. Then I cut and paste into the embedded html container.
    Note that, even though I finally found something that works, it is not visible in the design view, so you can't even tell it works without previewing it!
    I haven't tried option #3, but given the need to force the use of onclick I imagine that would not be possible with your widget. I was aware of the list widget however.
    I'll have to look at the Mucow docs and give it a try. The docs are a bit light - any plans to flesh them out?
    Thanks,
    Gareth

    Hello Dr. Lamb,
    thank you for your fast reply here.
    Yes, the actual firmware from last year September
    Is already installed. Also I am checking almost in every day the firmware update page since almost half a year.
    I did contact the hotline support also several times for.
    I was informed about that they will publish an update, but not when.
    Also there was a statement from the Toshiba CEO already in last year that all UHD TVs with the Cevo engine
    will get this update in last year.
    Its a pity and seems a neverending story. I am totally disappointed.

  • When will Filter Category in contact and in BBM will be added in BB OS10?

    Hello BB team, 
    I really love the bb 10 device  and realy want to buy one to support my businnes , but one thing that hold me back is the lack of 2 feature that i usualy use in bb os7 and older.
    the first one is the ability to add category in my contact and filter it so i can SMS my contact base on the category. 
    the second one is the ability in BBM to group the BBM contact base on category  and Broadcast only the group i want, not send to all BBM contact or reselect every time i want to broadcast some important announcement for my specific group. 
    this two feature that i find really help me save some time in my old device but i did not see that in the OS 10.1
    i really want to know whether or not BB team will add this feature in OS 10. ?
    If you do, then when will these features be added in the future update? will i have to wait for long or not.?
    please BB team answer these question honesly because i believe many of your user really need these feature and i believe you have already read a lot of complain about these in many forum. 
    i really hope you guys will listen to us so we can fall in love to blackberry once again.

  • When will we see mobile apps on android?

    Hi, The new CC mobile apps I have been receiving emails about today look great, but when will we be seeing android versions?
    Getting a galaxy Note 4 this week and relay want these apps. It seems a bit of a bad move to make them only available to apple users. I understand the devs are working on Light room mobile for android but at lease give us droid users some word on what is planned to come out and maybe even some rough time frame.
    Any news welcome.
    Thanks.

    To be completely clear, the update to the iPhone's OS that is necessary to support adding applications is expected in June. How soon after that, presuming the update is released on time, we will see the arrival of actual applications will depend on a number of factors including how quickly the developers receive the final versions of the SDK and OS so that they can finish their applications. So we may see some apps in June, but it may take longer. We'll just have to wait and see.

  • My itunes and ipod will not see each other and claim they are on different accounts.  I only have one account

    I can't sync my ipod anylonger.  I have 2 nano's and 1 touch.  my itunes does not recognize them anymore.  Some of the songs on itunes are not on my ipod, and vice versa. I can download songs from itunes, but it does not allow me to log on anylonger.

    I am getting a bit concerned about what is happening in your situation. Yesterday you posted your question in at least two different forums, one of them being here in the Premiere Elements Forum.
    Don't Have Serial Number for Premiere, Only Photoshop?
    Wherever you posted, the reply was to contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat. It is the only one who can sort out this matter for you.
    In the thread cited above I offered to help you with the difficulties that you were having visualizing the Adobe Chat in its web page. I was waiting for your follow up on that in the above thread. Instead, I find your same question in a new Adobe Premiere Elements Forum thread this afternoon with no refer the prior threads or prior recommendations given you.
    I will also mention again...when you buy the Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements bundled in one packaging and with installation files for each on the same installation disc, each program has its own serial number. The Photoshop Elements serial number does not work for Premiere Elements and vice versa. The serial numbers are on labels on a box which houses the installation disc envelope(s). So, if you purchased both programs and found the Photoshop Elements serial number, then the Premiere Elements serial number should be in a label right underneath the label with the serial number for Photoshop Elements. I recall writing this in your yesterday's thread on this matter.
    The moderator will no doubt be along shortly to close or delete this thread. So, just in case, please bookmark your yesterday's thread cited above so that we can continue this communication which is trying to help you.
    Thanks.
