Where do I complain about an app sending notification spam?

Hi. A few of my apps have recently started spamming me using push notifications. I will unexpectedly get an alert from the app telling me about some special offer or another. My understanding is that they aren't supposed to do this. I'd like to continue using the app but this behavior both infuriates me and appears to violate Apple's rules (according to the first tip here: https://developer.apple.com/appstore/push-notifications/index.html)
I've seen Draw Something do this in the past before I disabled notifications for it and eventually stopped playing it, and TextMe is currently doing it.
Where can I complain about these apps doing this?
Here's an example:

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
You are posting the Mac App Store, apps for Mac computers. You may want to ask for help in the iTunes App Store regarding iOS apps.

Where do I complain about an iPhoto book

Where do I complain about the quality of a book printed in iphoto. It has been printed badly

Just some questions? Do any of the photos have the Adobe RGB color profile? If so that will cause photos to print much too dark and off color. Did you preview the book as descrtibed in this Apple document to see if the preview displayed the book OK: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. If the PDF looks OK the the problem lies in the printing. But the color profile issue might not show up at that point.
Apple is good about refunding the cost of the book but currently it's difficult to contact them. The old return contact page is not longer availalbe so try the contacts given by Peter. Good Luck.

Where do i complain about horrible color on print order?

I just received a order of 163 prints from Apple and iPhoto and the color was horrific. I normally have had great results with them but this order was unacceptable. I set up the shots indoors with strobes and white balanced everything. There are tennis balls in the photos and they are almost orange instead of green and the overall exposure is very bad. Prints look great off my Epson and on screen, they are all 300 dpi RGB files. I have never had a bad set of prints from apple before. Where do i complain or can i get them to reprint my order? All i found was a feedback e-mail.

You can communicate with Apple Customer Support here. You'll have to log in with your Apple ID and password to get to the site.

About callable object-send notification

Hi expertise,
when i create a callable object-send notification,when i test it,an exception occurs:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/activation/DataHandler
    at com.sap.caf.eu.gp.model.fnd.mail.MailFactory.createBodyPart(MailFactory.java:468)
    at com.sap.caf.eu.gp.model.fnd.mail.MailFactory.sendMail(MailFactory.java:396)

    at com.sap.caf.eu.gp.callobj.container.BackgroundCallableObjectsContainer.execute(BackgroundCallableObjectsContainer.java:81)
why?thanks

Hi Jorgen,
This behavior is completely normal. It can seem awkward but what you described is somehow logical.
Let's say you have three actions, the second one is the email notification. When completing the first action, the second action is triggered. As it is a background callable object, it is put into the queue and wait for processing. As the refresh of the screen is faster than the processing of the callable object, the next action (the third) is not yet active/ready to be processed.
When the email is sent (i.e. the background callable object executed), a callback takes place and the next activity is triggered. Then, the 3 action is active and can be shown.
Due to technical restriction of Web Dynpro, it is not possible to refresh the screen when the action is ready to be processed. The user has to refresh it explictly.
With SP12, the processing of the queue has been improved and it's much more faster than before. The "problem" you noticed shouldn't be there anymore.
Hope this helps.
David

Where do I complain about Indian iPhone customer service?

I really don't know where I'm supposed to complain the handling of customer service in India.
Let me explain the situation and perhaps someone can send me to the right place.
My housemate's sister bought an official Vodafone iPhone 3G in August. Last week, it stopped working. No Service, no matter the SIM card. I told her to give it to me for a couple days, let me update the firmware and see if that doesn't fix it.
It didn't fix it. Clearly a hardware problem. Never hacked or anything. Just stopped working, flat out.
So, she took it to the place that she bought it from. She no longer has the receipt, so they wouldn't help her. It's CLEARLY an iPhone 3G, so it's CLEARLY under warranty (since the phone came out less than a year ago). But, still, they told her to go to Vodaphone and have them repair it or replace it.
Vodaphone, wouldn't budge without the receipt, even though it's CLEARLY a Vodaphone iPhone and, again, CLEARLY less than a year old (and, therefore, still under warranty).
So, I called Apple support, the number printed on the iPhone box. They directed me to another number, which nobody answered. I called the first number back; they gave me a third number which didn't work at all. I called them again and they gave me AppleCare's number.
Now, I thought, we're finally getting somewhere. Apple will surely be able to rectify this.
"Press 1 for iPod, Press 2 for iPhone." I pressed 2. I got a message saying "Please contact your service provider for iPhone support" and promptly hung up on me.
So, I called the first number again, and they gave me yet another number (corporate office, I guess) that also told me to call AppleCare. They said I had to press 9.
9 was not an actual option.
I finally got through to someone when I called AppleCare and pressed 1 for iPod. I complained and complained, after which they told me they'd transfer me to the iPhone department.
Why can't you access the iPhone department directly? Because it's not actually in India; it's in Brisbane, Australia.
The guy I spoke to in Brisbane informed me that Vodafone must honor the warranty since it is obviously a Vodafone iPhone (it only activates with a Vodafone SIM and rejects all other companies), and is obviously less than a year old. Apparently, they are responsible for service.
However, to be safe, take a photo id, he said, since you can't find your sales receipt. It shouldn't matter, though, he said.
I wish that someone would tell Vodafone that, though. They refused to honor it because:
1) They couldn't find the IMEI (I wasn't there to throw it in their face, both on the box and in the Settings>General>About). They only know to look for it on the SIM tray (which had been replaced way back in August because it was loose)
2) When they found the IMEI on the box, they couldn't find it in their computers.
3) They couldn't prove it was a Vodafone iPhone (again, I wasn't there to show them how it reacts with any other SIM when connected to iTunes. That's proof enough that it's Vodafone).
My housemate went to the largest Vodafone in Mumbai (Peninsula Chambers) and the manager refused to speak to her (he wasn't in the store, only on the phone. However, he refused to talk to her even when speaking to his lackeys for twenty minutes).
This is a 16GB iPhone, retailing for the equivalent of $700 US (Rs.36,100). The phone is under warranty and never been hacked or tampered with. And yet, no one in this country will honor its warranty and take care of it. Not because of anything but sheer bureaucracy and ignorance.
I mean, seriously, they can't even tell it's a Vodafone iPhone? They can't find the IMEI that's PRINTED on the box and in the Settings?
Who do we talk to to get this iPhone repaired/replaced? $700 is a lot of money for a phone that should be covered under its warranty.
If you could direct me to an email address/phone number both at Apple and whomever at Vodafone to rectify this, the help would be unbelievably appreciated.
Also, if someone at Apple can step up the quality of customer service in India for Vodafone and Airtel (it's the same phone number for each provider), please do. Airtel cannot even call the AppleCare number (it's an 800 number which can only be accessed by landlines and Vodafone customers. I've had this issue when trying to repair my MBP), let alone get through to anybody to fix anything.
thanks.

Right. So you're telling me that Apple has left someone in charge who is totally screwing their customers' experience and no one at Apple will help reign them in and set them straight?
I guarantee you that she's not the only person who's had this experience and it **** well sours me from buying another iPhone if I know it won't be taken care of if something goes wrong.
I've posted this to let Apple know there's something woefully wrong with their partner and to get that fixed as well. I know Vodafone is the one I'm supposed to deal with; I just want that to be improved.

How to complain about an app?

I recently got a new iphone and downloaded an app called mysecretfolder by Red Knight interactive. Its an application that allows you to hide pictures and videos with an extra securtity layer. They claim that your pictures are locally stored in your phone. However when I downloaded the app on my new iphone the pictures stored in my old iphone appeared. To make myself clear I DID NOT do a restore, I simply downloaded the app again and the pictures from my old phone appeared. Meaning that they have stored and backed up my pictures thorugh the internet (network connection which they require to use the app claiming it is just for location services and safari browsing. I've looked through the app store and don't know where to submit my complaint.

Dear Customer,
We take your issue very seriously, as we have over a million happy customers of My Secret Folder, the original and best secure App.
To alleviate any concerns you may have I will answer you as clearly as possible.
1) Let me assure you that My Secret Folder App NEVER uploads or sends any information, data or photos to anywhere else other than in the following situations:-
a)A break-in report sent to your email address (if you set this up, it will send a break-in attempt photo and GPS co-ordinates to your email address)
b) if you choose to share a photo from inside the App via Facebook, Twitter or email.
c) If you browse the internet inside the App, the App will download content for the web page you are viewing.
2) Although we do not specifically support the "restore" feature of your photos in the App. If you have your Apps set to backup to the iCloud (in general), and then subsequently re download the App, then any content (saved data) that is in the App WHEN Apple iCloud backed it up MAY be restored to that App. This would be true for all Apps that are backed up. Red Knight is not responsible for any content that Apple iCloud backs up and subsequently restores to your device.
If you want to guarantee that iCloud does not backup any content to its server, remove the content from My Secret Folder before your scheduled or manual backup, or simply remove the App from your iCloud backup list in settings.
TO CLARIFY - EVEN IF APPLE iCLOUD RESTORES PHOTO CONTENT TO YOUR DEVICE, NO PHOTOS WILL EVER BE SENT TO ANYWHERE ELSE OR AN ONLINE SERVER. APPLE iCLOUD IS MANAGED BY APPLE.
PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK THAT:-
1) You are indeed discussing the correct "My Secret Folder" App, as there are over a dozen such Apps on the store
2) Ensure you are not misunderstanding that you are seeing the "camera roll" on your new phone that will of course contain all of your old photos, especially if you have logged into apple iCloud. This would re-instate all of your old content that you have regularly backed up, particularly if using Photo Stream. This feature is not associated with My Secret Folder and is controlled by Apple iCloud and its backup settings.
3) Double check you did not at any point simply allow iCloud to reinstall your Apps including their content
If you are in any doubt about what the App is sending and receiving, you can:-
1)Disable any network connection and see that the App functions completely fine with no connection
2) Connect the device to the internet using a Wifi connection and monitor the connection using some connection software (Wire Shark) to confirm that no information is sent to or from the device for this App.
You could check this by installing the app from the app store on a new device and turning off your network connection, launch the app and you will see no content will appear.
To confirm, all content stored in the App is stored locally on your device and NEVER online or on any servers
I hope this has clarified how My Secret Folder works and any concerns are addressed.
Please feel free to ask any more questions.

Where can I complain about Apple?

Apple seem to have a lot of contact numbers and support lines but there are no obviously visible ones to make a complaint.
The reason i want to complain is because their software, which i always keep updated, ruined my laptop i.e. it caused me to have to erase all of my drive with all my files because it would not restart after the update, kept getting to the same loading point then switching off. I had backup but some important files were lost because they were not there during my last back up.
The support suggested i pay a lot of money to recover any lost files, but why should i pay when it was Apples product that caused the problem?
If anyone knows where i can actually make a complaint directly to people who can deal with it please share. (I am very frustrated about this)
Thank you.

Any help here? (I can't read the page)
http://www.apple.ro/ro_/apple/
We are users here like yourself. You are not talking to anyone from Apple here.
"I send it back, they keep it for MORE THAN A MONTH and they send back THE SAME PRODUCT"
Of course they will send you back the same product. They will not send you back a different model.
