Why bother with iOS6 on iPad 2?

Why would Apple market iOS6 with Siri technology if it won't work with iPad 2?? I am HIGHLY disappointed.

They didn't market it as running on the iPad 2. They marketed Siri originally on the iPhone 4s, at that time running iOS 5.1.1. Now they market it as improved running on the iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, new iPad (3) and the iPod Touch 5th Generation. Since the iPhone OS progressed into iOS there have always been hardware limitations for certain functions on various models.

Why Bother with Objective C?

Given the tools out there for writing iOS apps in HTML, Jquery, C#, Ruby, etc, including some with generate apps that can run on both Android and iOS,
why bother writing in Objective C?
What are the advantages?
thx

Interesting. Do you know of any similar projects with different languages? RubyMotion looks cool, but only if, as you say, "Ruby is your thing". For me, it is just another syntax. Objective-C is just C with a few "@" characters and a lot of "[]", so why bother? Now if there was a Perl front-end, that would be interesting.
I found the following list of LLVM front-ends:
Here is a tutorial on building your own: http://gnuu.org/2009/09/18/writing-your-own-toy-compiler/
LLVM Projects page has more information: http://llvm.org/ProjectsWithLLVM/
Now, where am I going to find a BNF for Perl
PS: Yes, I know about CamelBones. Unfortunately, both the project and its author are no more.
But to get back to the question of why bother with Objective-C, the answer is clearly the Objective-C runtime. It doesn't turn C into Perl, but it comes quite close. It comes so close that it really isn't worth ones time to bother with Objective-Perl.

Why bother with payin for sim free?

why bother with payin for sim free when you still have to wait for updates for months?
I bought my 5800 sim free on order to get updates faster and it seems to always be the last to get firmware update releases
not that i can update anyway as Nokia in all it's wisdom has failed to add support for windows 7
for its software update program only the fastest selling OS in history means that most users are using it
I want V40 now not in 12 months gawd

totally agree Jimmy shame branded phones often see and update before me with my unbranded simfree phone despite me paying extra and buying outright
Phones supplied by network operators are network-branded. This means that they alter the features of the phone to suit their marketing needs and basically turn it into a semi-functional device used to advertise to you. Features that they don't want you using are removed, their logo is plastered all over the place and links to their services are stuffed into the menus.
In some cases, they add a few features that are required to take full advantage of their subscriber services.
Given that the firmware in these phones is something based on Nokia's original firmware but subsequently modified by the network operator, any updates that the operator is planning on releasing will become available to your branded phone after they've been made available to generic, SIM-free phones. You will have to wait for your network operator to modify the firmware and release it, and this can often take a very long time, if indeed the operator bothers doing it at all. You may well be left with buggy firmware while users of SIM-free phones have already updated theirs and thus eliminated the bugs. Not to mention bugs introduced by the networks themselves during the branding process.

Why bother with the software upgrade BT ?

I've still got the old silver BTVision box, I've had it since launch which is quite a few years I can tell you !!. At the start the software was very dodgy, even watching TV had its problems. After some very overdue software upgrades the box now runs as sweet as a nut.
My question is, with the new HD Youview box on the horizon (which I will be getting day one), why bother upsetting the applecart ??. The old boxes are running fine so why introduce a new slow, buggy UI to a platform that is on its way out ?. What is BT trying to achieve here apart from forcing an upgrade on people that apparently doesnt provide any extra features and wipes all of your recordings ?.

If it's in use by non-beta testing customers, as it appears to be, then it is not in "testing mode". Can I stick with the old look please!
And yet you want multi-room. Which one cannot have on the WinCE platform as it has no flexibility. But the new platform will, eventually.

So why bother with Notes at all?

I was an avid user of Palm Memo's and have transferred to using Notes on my iPhone 3G. I was just updating a note that contained a bunch of measurements, when the phone went crazy and started deleting each word of the note before my eyes. I'd tap the screen and it wouldn't stop. I'd keep touching and it still wouldn't stop. It was like it was permanently "touched" (pun intended). Finally I just hit the Done button and it went back to the main page but my whole note was gone.
I've just spent the past 2.5 hours scanning the net trying to figure out how to restore that one note to get back all the measurements. Yes, I faithfully backed up my iPhone and and synced and it was on my computer, so I knew it was there. However as soon as I plugged it into the computer to try and restore, it backed it up again and I couldn't cancel the sync and now my latest backup contains the corrupted note!
I've been pouring through perl scripts to try and at least dump the information from an old backup, but it looks like "dbextract" doesn't work on the newest phones. I tried MobileSyncBrowser and it worked great and gave me the newest and most corrupt version of the Note that just got backed up, but I can't look at older versions of the note and its not meant as a restore tool either. I could completely restore from a backup but can I do it from the "2nd oldest" backup? And will it restore Notes? I've read that a restore doesn't do SMS messages or notes.
I have to tell you - why bother relying on Notes?
Thanks,
Janice

Cool app, but I agree, this should be part of the iphone's built-in features. We shouldn't have to shell out an additional $19.95.
Notes should also be organized alphabetically, or at least have a preference to do so.
I came over from the Palm world also and used their version of "Notes" ("Memos") all the time. This should be one of Apple's top priorities for the iPhone IMHO, along with copy/paste (come on, it's a computer for crying out loud!), and a real data search function (For example: search "detroit" and get a list of calendar items, contacts, memos with "detriot" in entries.) This should also be included with the high price of admission.
Yes, I have requested these features to be added. After my 2 year contract is up, I will be looking at the competition if these basic issues aren't addressed.
PS - Still an antiquated STILL camera, and no ability to send or d/load attachments like movies? Not exactly cutting edge.

Having problems with ios6 for iPad

Just recently installed ios6 to my iPad witht he following problems:
Cannoct connect to itunes store
Cannot download any apps
The new Maps app is unable to locate my current location
Some Facebook features are disabled. "Tap retry" doesn't respond
Some other apps are not working
Safari is not able to connect to the server.
My internet is fine throhg my apple laptop. No problems on this end
I have shut the iPad off completely and turned back on. No difference
I have accessed all the apps in "Settings" to locate possible problem. No difference
HELP!

with network problems, try toggling airplane mode, leave it on for a solid 10 seconds, then off. if that doesn't help, try resetting the network settings by Setting> General> Reset
if those don't work, perhaps restoring the device would be in order. just be sure to save a backup of the device.

Why bother with favorites

Every time I call Verizon the first thing they do is reset my box. Then I have to manually reenter my favorites. I set the favorites to the channels I actually receive. Why have to look thru the entire list (unless you are try to sell me something). If you ask the tech on phone or online they say you can restore and then painfully s-l-o-w walk you thru how to reenter it after the call. Im already an expert by now.

Why bother with a landline?

Our Verizon landline has been without a dial tone for almost 24 hours now. The online repair system promises that the situation will be resolved by next Tuesday evening, six days after the problem was reported! We even pay a monthly fee for a wiring maintenance plan in case the outage is caused by wiring inside the home (which, after testing at the NID, we know it's not).
Thankfully, our household has Vonage and Comcast Voice, as well as wireless service. Each of these vendors is able to diagnose and resolve problems within hours, not days or weeks.
I'm wondering why we - or anyone for that matter - would continue to maintain a Verizon landline when the cost is excessive and the service abysmal. It suddenly makes sense that so many of our friends and neighbors have given up their expensive and redundant landlines!

I am completely with you. My landline has not been working since July 8th. Verizon came out on the 9th and said it would be working within 48 hours but it's been almost 2 weeks now and still no phone service. I have used up almost all of my monthly cellphone minutes trying to get my phone working but to no avail. It's really, really ridiculous that Verizon who is supposed to be a phone company cannot get my line working. I never had issues with my landline when I was using Time Warner.
I am so fed up with verizon that i am ready to cancel my services (FIOS triple play) and go back to Time Warner. Since i am still under my 1 yr contract, would I be hit with the early termination fee b/c I cancel my account due to it not working?

Why bother with BSP???

Howdy,
I'm an ABAP programmer and I can't understand what is the benefit of creating BSP pages?
Aren't they just a way of displaying a report in a web-browser, rahter than in SAP? If so, what is the big deal with that?
Why should our company use BSPs is probably the question that I am trying to ask and is there much f a future for it? For unlike JAVA or ABAP, BSPs are not core SAP technology, are they???

This is a topic that's come up quite often.
I would suggest you read this forum thread and all the attached links to weblogs.
;\ New BSP Weblogs
BSP's are ABAP and HTML mixed together and they are a lot more than just displaying a report. You'll see several great examples in the link mentioned above.

Why Bother with Apple TV?

Get a Mini, hook it up via DVI to your TV, and enjoy your music, movies, rented movies, downloaded movies, photos, etc - without streaming anything or buying another box that will just need to be replaced in 6 months. At least with a Mini you get a whole computer for only $300 more that you can also use email, internet, work, etc.
Other than HD, I just don't see the difference...

The difference is more than $ 300, there is a major difference in concept when it comes to using a computer to do a consumer products job.
I initially had 4 tv's throughout the house but used the wife's mini in the kitchen in place of an tv there. No one used it and went to another room where there was an tv to use it instead. Eventually I bought the fifth and used it instead of the wife's mini and now everyone uses it.
The mini may well do more, be capable of higher quality and have unlimited storage capabilities and front row may not be all that different to the tv, but that difference is enough to be the difference between whether it gets used or not.

Please don't use ALL CAPS. It is bad forum etiquette. It is viewed as shouting.
If you originally set up your iTunes/Mac App Store account for the SIngapore store, then the first thing is to change the country for your account using the iTunes app on your Mac.

When i take pictures with the new ipad why is there static

when i take a picture with the new ipad why does the picture have noise in it but when i look at pictures online the photos are perfect

Because both cameras have different resolutions. The camera on the back of your Ipad (3rd gen.) is 5 megapixels; while the camera in front (used mainly for Facetime, etc.) is only 0.3 megapixels. Hope this helps.

TS3274 why i cannot sync the iPad with iTunes

Can somebody help? why i cannot sync the ipad with the itunes right after i have synced my iphone sucessfully.
they are both with the latest vesions. the dialogue box keeps on "dong..dong...dong" all the time and is saying "itunes could not connect to this iphone. This iphone is no longer connected".

I have no clue what "dong, dong, dong" means unless you actually referring to sounds cpming from the computer.
Eject the iPad, quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and try again.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

HT204387 Why can,t I bluetooth pair my iPhone 3GS with my new iPad, it does not even show up as discoverable. What can I do to fix this

Why can,t I bluetooth pair my iPhone 3GS with my new iPad, it does not even show up as discoverable. What can I do to fix this

For what purpose are you trying to pair them?
Only supported peer to peer apps such as photo transfer or multiplayer games can connect to other iOS devices via Bluetooth. You initiate the connection inside the app running on both devices.

Why won't iMessage stream to both my iPhone and iPad?

why doesn't imessage stream to both my iphone and ipad?

P.S. When you go to the "Info" tab of the iPhone while connected to iTunes and click on "Sync notes", it reads: "Your notes are being synced over the air. You can also choose to sync notes with this computer. This may result in duplicated data showing on your advice."
I'm confused why everything else syncs via USB except Notes. Why "over the air", which appears to be unreliable? And I don't want duplicate notes. Any advice how to fix this would be great. I take notes all the time on both devices, and have been caught unprepared in the past while out in the field without a note I took on the iMac and that I needed, say, to get where I was going. Really would like to get this resolved so I don't have to think about it anymore. Thanks again for any input!
