Why can't Apple let go of the old designs?

Apple is a very innovative company, Why do we not see innovation in their websites and interfaces?

What is your technical support question for these user to user technical support forums?

Why can't Apple just turn up the **** fans?

We all agree that the macbook pro is an incredibly toasty little computer. Not a laptop - a notebook....
When I run the CPU at full throttle my MBP gets cooler because the fans start. So, even though the CPU is running at 73C, the upper surface temperature is just warm, not hot. When the CPU is at 63C, the fans are running at low rpms and the surface temperature is bordering on hot.
Apple, we NEED the fans to cool this beast. If Apple could just lower the threshold for the fans the MPBs would run much cooler. Or maybe all they need to do is up the rpms since the fans seem to be going all the time anyway.
Isn't this the easiest solution for them?

You know, I just ran the ** outta my comp with two HD quicktime movies in a loop, itunes with visualizer on, two "yes" test going. Both my processers were maxed out, and my comp was still running at 77F and I ran it for 25mins and after all that time, only my left fan had kicked on....the only thing that really got any hotter was my HDD, but i think thats because i was pulling so much info off it at once.

Oh, I might also want to add that I had no abnormal sounds coming out of my MBP! So I have to say that I got a "good one". And I couldnt be happier. Im sorry that your having problems, but hopefully apple will fix them sooner rather than later.

Why can't apple let us sync two computers over bluetooth?

I am extremely annoyed that mac won't let you sync two computers via bluetooth, when you can easily do it with phones and pdas. It seems to me that it takes the exact same technology to do so, and the only reason mac does not let you sync two computers is that they want to force you to pay $100 for a .mac account. Very Microsoft-like of them. Apple advertises that you can do this function as part of the OSX, but fails to mention it requires additional cost. I hope they provide this in the future.
I've heard a new program, spanning sync, may work, but that is just for your calendar.

1) Apple always advertised its computer to computer sync'ing as ".Mac sync" (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/dotmacsync/) so I don't see where they "fail to mention it requires .mac" or put that "in the small print no one reads"
2) Peer-to-peer sync'ing leverages many conceptual problems that sync'ing with a central server does not have. It takes a lot of effort to have proper, reliable, secure, yet simple-to-use peer-to-peer sync'ing. It becomes even worse when more than 2 peers are involved, and becomes a total nightmare when there can be cycles in the sync'ing swarm. Apple took the simpler, reliable approach. Of course, Apple can put money to provide some peer-to-peer solution but it's likely not worth the money yet for Apple.
3) Third parties can provide peer-to-peer sync'ing in no time (if it were that simple) since Tiger, thanks to Sync Services... yet there isn't many solutions out-there... however, maybe you should take a look on VersionTracker. You might find what you want:

Remember... sync'ing is never that simple.
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

HT201472 Why can't Apple turn on the Find My iPhone feature if it's been stolen?

A friend of mine's house was robbed this morning. They lost tens of thousands of dollars worth of belongings, including a new ipad 4. They have icloud on the device... and had the Find My iPhone app on other devices, but not the new ipad. In extreme cases, why can't Apple remotely turn on the Find My iPhone feature? If they could find the ipad it could lead them to the people who stole everything else from them.

The suggestions has, more or less, been implemented in iOS 7: with iOS 7, you can make stolen devices unusable, and still display a text that might allow them to be recovered. See, for instance, http://www.imore.com/ios-7-preview-activation-lock-aims-keep-out-crooks

You can only sync to one computer.
You would have to transfer purchases, but the apple ID would need to be the same.
Or find a 3rd party app to transfer content.

Why can't Apple TV stream movies like the iTunes store can?

I'm in the UK with an Apple TV 2nd Gen. 9Mb/s broadband speed checked and have conclusively failed to rent one single movie since I bought this a year ago. Every time I log in, select the film, purchase it, hit play and all I get is "connection error please try later" Playing movie trailers and everything else is fine. Surely the point of renting a movie online is so you can watch it straight away. Lovefilm works just fine via my PS3.
The other day I tried again on Apple TV with the same error so figured I'd try and rent the movie direct from iTunes Store on my laptop, hey presto, 2 mins later I'm watching my film via my Macbook Pro hooked up to my TV.
So the big question is: Why can not Apple TV stream a movie like the iTunes Store can? Of course I appreciate that a certain amount of buffering has to happen but that is never evident on Apple TV.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
Consistent Problems
A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
Port
Type
Protocol
Used By
80
TCP
HTTP
AirPlay
443

HTTPS

Bonjour/AirPlay
Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.

Why do i constantly get cut off on calls. I've had this problem with my 3GS, my 4S and now my iPhone 5. When the core functionality is Phone, i.e. the ability to talk, why can't Apple make the iPhone function as a Phone? is there an App for that !!

Well, since you've had the same problem, with three different phones, that all use different size sim cards, it seems pretty obvious the problem is with your carrier/coverage & nothing to do with your phone or sim card.

Why won't Apple let a screen recorder on the App Store

Hi why won't Apple let screen recorders on the App Store?

You'd have to ask Apple. We wouldn't know - we are just users like you.
Sorry,
GB

Why can't GB let me use 'electric guitar' option when using Nio 2/4 interface - I have to use real instrument and miss out on all the effects. Is this normal for all interfaces?

Usually effects packages are AU plugins that would have no effect on track selection. Interfaces should have no control over what kind of track you can select. I really think something else is going on her maybe something you overlooked.
Did you choose the input channel in the track info pane. Try both channel 1 mono or channel 2 mono. Make sure the track is record enabled.

Why wont my homesharing let me control the apple tv?

Why wont my homesharing let me control the apple tv?

Could be a hardware problem.
First try a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.

Why can't Apple accept that smaller cities and countries exist??

I just wish that Apple would realize that there are other places on earth besides the US, Europe and Asia!!
I am trying to put in my city code for my clock on my iphone 4 and it will not let me put in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago. My Nokia phone bought in 2005 allows this and my cheap Casio watch recognizes other smaller cities on earth...why can't Apple??
I thought the general idea was to have ALL citizens on earth using your products??
Please do something update wise (and NO, I do not want to enter Bridgetown, Barbados as a 'next best bet'.
Thank you,

I was looking for how to add any city in Trinidad to my world clock and came upon his post. It wasn't necessary to dig it up but I had the same complaint and because the posters here were mostly un-kind and un-understanding towards hm, I hoped he would know that not everybody thinks his complaint is invalid.
Not having the capitol means the whole country is not listed. Any city. It's hard to use another country's time zone because times may change due to things like daylight-savings-time in one country but not in another. If you live on the east coast of the US, you can still use a city from your own country in the same time zone. I can use Toronto even though that's not my real hometown in Canada. I can use Beijing for my current city even though I live 1000's of miles away but still in China. There's no city listed for all of Trinidad. I'm not sure what city to list for the same time zone as Port of Spain without worrying that it will be wrong at sometime because country differences.
Of course not all cities in the world can/should be listed but perhaps all capital cities or the largest city in even the smallest of countries could be listed.
I guess I do not have a grip on your reality. In my reality your post makes no sense because it only tries to insult another poster and offers neither help nor explaination. I'm not sure what you gain from that. To be fair though, it does seem like many people like to post in this way.
Thanks for your suggestion Michael Black.

Why is itunes so hard to use - and why can't apple fix it?

why is itunes so hard to use - and why can't apple fix it
I dont know anybody who likes the way itunes works.'
This last version is beyond awful. It took an already hard to use program - but one that I had at least figured out and made it even harder.

Wendy,
If you are experiencing a particular problem, please post specifics, and most likely someone here will be able to help.

When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
Good luck.

Why can't Apple give us some feedback re blank purchased app screen

There have been numerous complaints about purchased apps not being able to be downloaded due to blank screen.
WHY CAN'T APPLE PROVIDE SOME FEEDBACK????

These are user-to-user forums consisting on people like you. The only Apple employees are the Hosts who keep the wheels from falling off the forums and break up the occasional donnybrook. So no one who posts here can speak for Apple.
The most effective means to get iPad issues/concerns to Apple is this:
