Why did Apple make the new iPod unable to use Griffin iTalk or iTrip?

I was so disappointed when I upgraded to the new 5th gen. iPod and was unable to use the accessories I purchased for my previous iPod. Am I missing something? What am I supposed to do? Is there an attachment that will make them usable? Why would Apple make a new iPod that wouldn't include the same connector?

See below your so-called answer to my question.
I also noticed you have marked it solved. If, as a moderator, you can say that your response was considerate of the people using the system then I guess it was solved. If I was to mark it I would say the reply was very condescending and thus worthy of a 1 out of 10 as far as a reply goes. In the future please do not answer my posts as I would like to be treated with a little respect as I'm sure you would like. Please get some other Mod who can perhaps relate to a person's concern. Your answer may be correct but your way of putting it across sounds like some of the 13 year old school children I use to teach.
You have a good day.

    I did this update just the way I've always done updates and had exactly the same problems: none. Unless you tell us what difficulties you had/are having, we can't really comment knowledgeably.
    If, on the other hand, you just want to complain, you might as well do it where it may do some good. Submit your feedback to Apple:

  • Why did Apple omit the Panorama feature in Camera on the Ipad, when they did the IOS6 update?

    Why did Apple omit the Panorama feature in Camera on the Ipad, when they did the IOS 6 Update? They included this feature on the iPod touch (5th gen) so why not on the iPad?

    I was on vacation in a national park and saw people using their iPads as a video camera...one of them standing in the  middle of a 'river' (read really large stream) at the time.
    I'm going to also go with the supposition of it being a different camera and probably different video handling processor. The iPhone is quite far ahead of the iPad camera wise, so probably has better protocols in place to handle images, especially something as complex as the 'live photo stitch' of the panorama.
    many existing cameras take what the panorama was, a 'photo stitch' where mulitple side by side photos are stitched together into one large panorama. This just appears to do it 'live' instead of individual shots that need to be processed on a comptuer to make the panorama.

  • Why O Why did Apple removed the sidebar colors?

    Why O Why did Apple removed the sidebar colors in the new Aperture update? I used those colors to organize my workflow.
    Everything is Greyscale now. Isn't Photography all about colors? If I wanted a greyscale user interface I would have bought a PC ...

    It's the new design since Lion - Iphoto already has gone gray before Aperture See these links:
    Re: After updating to Aperture 3.3 all my icons appears in Black and white. This includes the inspect button, photo stream button, the Facebook / flicker share button. Could you please help here ?
    How to bring back the color: (for experienced users only)
    Re: Have today loaded the 3.3 up date on Aperture. After the up date the colour of the Menu Bar and all icons showing projects / albums etc are now grey. Any thoughts on how to reestablish the colours.

  • Why did Apple make iTunes 7 look like a Windows XP App.?

    Why did Apple make iTunes 7 look like a Windows XP App.? This version of iTunes doesn't even look like it belongs in OSX. It's ugly is about the only way I can put it. I can't figgure out why they removed the EQ icon and didn't even assign a key command for it. Now yoy have to go into the menu to select it. Also I have noticed that it sometimes downloads the wrong artwork for album covers. The old version of iTunes seemed much better and I have reverted back to it untill Apple fixes the problems with version 7 and makes it look like part of the OSX family of applications.

    Well I wouldn't say it was ugly but some changes do leave something to be desired.
    I certainly aggree about the equaliser button and the visualiser button has gone too but at least they assigned a key command for it. The scrollbars need more colour and I'd prefer the buttons at the bottom to stand out a bit more like the ones at the top.
    I see no reason to go back to iT6 though, especially as I would misss Cover Flow. You could have a long wait for a change of interface and in the meantime you miss out on the good parts of iT7. If your track information is correct and identical to that on the Store then it shouldn't get the wrong artwork. Luckily I already had most of my album covers in place from other sources such as Amazon and just used iTunes to get a few more. My only complaint about the Get Album Artwork feature is that it's getting it from the US store when I want it from the UK store.
    Anyway these forums are really here to enable users to help each other solve problems and not to discuss Apple's decisions. If there are things you want changing then do what I and others do and send constructive criticisms and requests via the link below, if you haven't already.

  • When and Why Did Apple Drop The 160GB Classic Ipod

    Hi
    I was going to go and finally buy a 160GB Ipod tomrrow.I see they don't even list it anymore on Apples site and Future-shop doesn't even list it on the site.
    They only make a 120GB Now
    When Did they Drop this and why???
    Also Do any stores still have them in Stock???
    I won't be spending the money on only a 120GB if thats all they make now
    I've had my Ipod Mini 4GB since 2005 and thought it was time for a upgrade.
    Please do tell me if Apple still makes the 160GB Ipod
    thanks

    Apple has discontinued the 160GB. You can buy one online still, but not from Apple. Or buy a used one off Craig's List.
    P.S. Actually Apple is still selling refurbished 160GB on it's site, if you want to go that route. I also found some new ones on Amazon. Buy.com may have some too.

  • Lanyard headphones: why did apple discontinue them for ipod nano?

    i'd love to purchase the new generation of ipod nano (i need more HD space on my 2nd gen ipod nano), but i have a basic need for the lanyard style headphones. i can't bring myself to wear the old style headphones (i have many bad memories of dropping the lanyard-less ipods).
    i have never had a problem with the lanyard design in the 4+ years that i've used them. why did apple stop production?
    and, more importantly, does apple have any plans to bring back lanyard headphones in the future?
    thank you.

    Since we are all end users like you, nobody here would have the answers to such questions.  Only apple knows.  Either way, I suggest you leave feedback to Apple through one of their feedback channels.

  • In Lion, why did Apple remove the up/down arrows in the scroll bars?  There is currently no way to move up and down in small increments.  WHY????

    Every mac operating system software until Lion had the ability to use up/down arrows in the scroll bar.  This makes it easy to move up and down in small increments.  In Lion, it is impossible to move up and down in small increments.  Click on the scroll bar and it moves up or down an entire page.  When you try to put the curser on the scrollbar and move it up just a little, it moves a whole bunch.  With the up/down arrows, you can click on the arrow and it will scroll ulp or down one line a time.  There is no way to do this in Lion. Why would apple remove the very useful feature of up and down arrows.

    Yes, agreed a missing element.
    Did you try using the up / down arrows on the key board.

  • Why did Apple change the incoming caller photo Id to a small picture in a small circle instead of the large full screen picture when calls are received?  This is useless.  If it isnt cchanged back to the way it was I am done with the iphone.  Hello Galaxy

    This will be my last iphone if thhis minor software issue is not cleared up.  I hate the new caller ID incoming picture.  Too small

    We are all users like yourself. No one here is an employee or representative of Apple. We cannot know why the photo of the incoming caller was changed. We can only say that it is what it is. If that feature change is enough to make you want to change phones then get the phone that best suits your needs. In the meantime you can send feedback to Apple here:

  • Why did apple remove the superdrive from the current mac mini model?

    Also why does the standalone superdrive (USD $79) ONLY work with server version of the current Mac Mini?  Does not make sense.  Was just thinking of buying a mac mini when they changed the line about 2 months ago.  I still use DVD's and CD's as I am sure a lot of people out there still do.
    It has made me rethink the purchase of the current mac mini - since the standalone superdrive only works with the server version.  I wanted to purchase the 2.3Ghz - 500 GB version - but if that does not work with the superdrive - then no good for me.
    The Intel core 2 core duo was the one I wanted and it was perfect for me - but the day I went to purchase was the day the new version was announced - apple is not even offering refurbished one of this model (I have looked at that area of www.apple.com) and everywhere I look on ebay for this version - people are selling them for so much more.  I wanted to buy this new from apple.
    Getting rid of the drive was not the best idea just yet - CD's and DVD's are still so ubiquitious.
    Anyone have any other suggestions on how to get my hands on a brand new Intel core 2 duo from apple? 
    I already have an Imac and a Macbook Pro already wanted to add to my apple collection.

  • Why did Apple remove the Hold-Menu/Backlight function?

    I just updated to ipod software version 1.1.1 and wondering why the "Hold Menu to switch Backlight on/off" function was replaced with "Hold Menu to return to Main Menu" function???
    Ive been a huge fan of the Menu-Backlight switch since my 4G ipod, as I prefer to always keep the Backlight off and use it only when I absolutely cannot read the screen. I find it saves significant battery life compared to even the 2 second Backlight Timer. In the dark, this function is very practical especially since performing a simple operation such as adjusting volume or skipping tracks doesnt require any backlight. Also, I take a dark ghetto commuter bus and try hard to not draw attention to my 5G ipod with a bright glow from within my jacket pocket.
    Why cant Apple offer an option in Settings menu or an alternative version with different Hold-Menu functionality?

    Well the beauty of the old Hold-Menu>Backlight function was that it was basically a quick on/off switch...light turns on...light turns off...whereas the new "Quick Return to Main Menu" function didnt really solve a problem. If you need to get return to the main menu, you can blindly press Menu repeatly until you reach the main menu, how hard is that? Also, you only need to press Menu a maximum 4 times to reach the Main Menu from any submenu (unless youve created multiple subfolder hiearchies within the Notes folder.
    My point is, as a result of elimination of the Backlight "switch" is increased precise navigation, which equals a loss in usability and practicality. So what happens when you suddenly need to use backlight? You either prepare in advance, lets say everyday before you head home from the office, you need to remember to set the Backlight Timer on. Or you face the scenario where it gets kinda dark by the time you leave the office, but you forgot to turn on the Backlight Timer...now what? Well look for some well lit place to change the settings, or if you can blindly navigate to the main menu and scroll carefully and precisely to the Backlight option. Ok a little extreme but I hope some of you reading this GET it.
    So far the only way to retain this practical function is reverting to or continue using ipod software version 1.0. The most annoying thing about continuing to run v1.0 is everytime you connect the ipod to the computer, theres a popup begging you to update the ipod software. By refusing to update, you will miss out on some bug fixes (esp for Videora converted videos) and the volume limiter function.
    Show your support for the lost Menu-Backlight function and maybe Apple will hear us out.

  • Why did Apple remove the INFO tab in iTunes? I like syncing my Outlook for Mac Calendar to my iPhone.

    I find the iCal very restricting and like using my Outlook for Mac calendar and contacts.  But with the new Maverick, they have removed this feature.  Why can't they play nice w/Microsoft?

    This has nothing to do with Microsoft. It was removed with Mavericks for syncing direct with Apple's Address Book and iCal, etc. via the iTunes sync process as well.
