Why didn't no one lay Fiber in the streets back in the early days

Hey All, I'm curious as to why didn't no one lay Fiber into the ground in the year 2000 and start the fast network from that day Phone lines were never meant to run internet? considering so many issues during the past 15 years Didn't they realise back then that it have to be replaced with proper cables/Fiber in the ground Just curious to hear everyone else's response to this.

I can give you several reasons: 1: when they decided to sell off public owned phone services they screwed up and sold the physical infastructure as well as the customer base. 2: the competitiors argued that it was pointless to double up all the infrastruture and should just pay a rental to the owner of that infrastrucure ( hence why there is some optus and some telstra cable broadband options in limited areas and the reason also why they didnt expand futher) 3: Telstra (which really should have been a customers only business) wasnt going to spend the millions or billions to upgrade the lines out of their own pockets for the competitors to gain advantage over them

If I have forgotten my security questions and am not given the option to send them to an alternate email address because I didn't have one set up at the time, how can I get passed this point? I'm sure I'm blocked out at this time from trying.

Why in iOS 6 (Calendar) it opens at the next day instead of today?

Why in iOS 6 (Calendar) it opens at the next day instead of today?

Nope... some of these are birthday all-day events created three years ago, or more. When I edit the events there is no time zone listed, but here is what I do notice:
When I view the "repeat" information for one of the problem events in iOS, it says "Custom." When I select that I see that it says "Yearly" instead of "Every Year." The events that do not have a problem are set to repeat "Every Year"
The two I just compared were created in 2008 (the one that works) and 2011 (the one that doesn't). I am guessing that I created one of these events using my iPhone, and the other using Google Calendar via a Web browser. I will try to create some test events using both devices to see if there is any difference.

I only have one iTunes account. The other day I made the mistake of downloading purchased songs and movies logged on another user account (Administrator) on the same computer. How do I consolidate all my purchases in my preferred user account?

copy the songs that you downloaded as admin and put it somewhere you can access it from you're preferred account (usb stick / cd / shared folder / external hard drive) log into with you preferred user account and drag and drop the files on top of the itunes icon and they will be imported.
if you have a second computer you could use home sharing to move the music from admin itunes to the second computer and from the second computer to the preferred itununes
ps you can only connect 5 computers to you're itunes account so don't forget to de-autorise when you no-longer wand it.

Why didn't I get a message that the 4.0 update also required an update to Adobe. I only have windows 2000 so I am not able to update Adobe and would NOT have updated to firefox had I known about this

given what now has happened, i would not have updated to 4.0, since i am not able to update adobe on my windows 2000 system

hello, please try the windows exe-installer for plugin based browser from https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html and see if this works to install the adobe flash player. otherwise you'd have to contact adobe's support since that doesn't appear to be a problem directly related to a mozilla product...

HT201058 Why didn't my annual plan change to the new annual plan?

I purchased the icloud 20gb last year and paid $40 but now on my iphone I only have 5gb, I thought I was supposed to be upgraded to the new annual plan

There's no Mountain Lion wallpaper in the library. You can pick something of your choice in System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Desktop tab.

Why is there only one automated audio fader at head and none at tail of some audio clips?

When I select "Show audio animation," top left of an audio clip, on some sections I have two knobs... one at the head for fade in, and one at the tail for fade out. Why is there only one on some of the audio clips and not both? I've set up the clips the same, regarding audio animation, and some have faders at head, but not tail. How do I make another fader at the tail of a clip? Or why doesn't it automatically behave like the other audio clips that DO have two faders? I don't know what I'm doing to make them act differently.
Thanks,
Michael

Tom,
Thanks for reply. I'm attaching screen shots. For some reason my pointer didn't show up with a normal screen grab. Don't understand. Anyway, several versions are attached. There isn't one hidden on the right beyond the frame that pops out when I put my pointer there (or any tool). Strange.

HT1620 Why is it asking me for a pass code and I didn't set one?

Why is it asking me for a pass code and I didn't set one up. This never happen before when I updated to the most recent IOS on my Ipad2?

It is most likely asking for your Apple ID password, but that is just a guess.
Then again as KarenSelena says if someone set a passcode without actually telling you (maybe a Settings -> General -> Restrictions passcode), that might be why you are getting a passcode request.

I accidently closed my window with all my app tabs, now the only window that opens was a 2nd one I had open. How do I get back all my app tabs from the previous window, and why didn't it give me the usual warning you are closing more than one tab?

Then the (App) tabs from that window are lost unless you can restore an older copy of the sessionstore.js file (Time Machine?) that has that lost window.

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File - Export - Album name with number).

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).
Exporting a single Event retains the Event name which is what I'd expect. But highlighting more than one event and exporting it renames the images to Events 001.JPG, Event 002.JPG etc.
I was recently on holidays and had all my events nicely split on Dad's computer but when I went to export it I couldn't retain any of this information. Now I have to replicate this all again on my computer.
It wasn't possible to export the entire library as the external drive was fat32 format an I didn't want all of it. It would be nice to export a bunch of events to someone and have it retain the name.
Does anyone have a work around or will this be fixed at some point by Apple?

Power Mac G4 Cube! Why Didn't It Make A Bigger "Splash"?

I'm feeling nostalgic and want to discuss the now legendary (at least in my eyes) Power Mac G4 Cube. I remember this computer being something more than just "a computer". I saw it as Apple really pushing the boundaries of engineering art and design. Yes Steve blew everyone away with the introduction of the iMac in 1998, but personally I think the Cube at the beginning of the new millenium was when Apple really kicked hardware innovation into a higher gear.
But what puzzles me is why didn't the Cube make a bigger splash in the market than it did? Today most won't even know what it is except for the true Apple fans of the last 15 years. Usually Apple introduces a design language and it runs for a few years before any major revision or retirement. The Cube was introduced and was only around for a year.
I'd just like to know your thoughts on the Cube (maybe personal memories of owning one, if you did) in general and why it didn't make any real impact.
One question to ask would be why didn't the G4 Cube naturally evolve into a G5 Cube like the rest of Apple's lineup at the time?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Mac_G4_Cube

Hi, I seiously lusted after one, but insisted on waiting for the 500 MHz model, by the time they finally got the 500 out, I had spent the money, by the time I had the Money they were gone.
I think there were several reasons...
There werent many Mac users then.
Many thought a real computer had to be BIG.
The lack of upgradability was seen as a drawback by many.
It cost as much as a big computer of a different ilk.
One question to ask would be why didn't the G4 Cube naturally evolve into a G5 Cube like the rest of Apple's lineup at the time?
Same reason there were no G5 Laptops, mostly heat issues, though laptops had an additional power/battery problem... whole reason Apple went to Intel chips.

Why didn't Firefox warn me that it would disable an incompatible add-on prior to silently updating itself?

I just restarted Firefox and a window popped up saying that it had upgraded itself and that it was checking for compatibility with my add-ons. Unfortunately, one of them, which I rely on quite extensively, apparently is not compatible with FIrefox 22.0.
So now I'm stuck. While I'm hopeful that this will resolve itself, I decided to make sure that it won't happen again. I checked my preferences and found that Firefox was set to automatically install updates and to warn me if this would disable any of my add-ons.
So, here is my question: Why didn't it warn me that this would disable an add-on?
I am running (now) Firefox 22.0 on a Mac running 10.7.5.
--wpd

I have no idea why you did not get a warning. It may be possible to enable the add-on. Click add-ons then extensions this will display all add-ons installed on your firefox. Is there a enable option? If not consider removing add-on and reinstalling it. Hope this helps let me know if it does.

Migration Assistant- Why didn't my pictures&music transfer?

I don't own an ethernet cable, so I decided that I would use my high-speed internet to transfer my documents, photos, and music from my (3-year)old Macbook to my new one. However, it took exactly 24 hours. Apparently, it took 24 hours to only transfer my documents folder (which only has about 100 text files that don't contain that much)
Besides the fact that it took so long, I found out that the user from my old computer was locked. I dragged the user into MY documents, and I was able to view my old documents. However, NONE of my pictures (I have around 11,000...) or my music (900 songs) were to be found, despite the insane amount of time it took to transfer.
*Why didn't my pictures and music transfer?*
*Is there and easier way to migrate your information that DOESN'T take a full day?*
Also, *how do I unlock the files* without doing the whole copying process again? For some reason the copying to MY documents allowed me to open them, but its going to be a hassle re-copying all my photos etc. once they've been transferred next time.

Get one. Better yet, if both Macs have FireWire ports, get a FireWire cable.
Or, if you have Time Machine backups or a "clone" of the old Mac on an external drive, transfer from it instead.
Then start over, but use +Setup Assistant+ this time. See [Setting up a new Mac from an old one or its backups|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/Setup.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Snow Leopard > Installation and Setup+ forum). You'll want to start with the green box there.
The problem with using the +Migration Assistant+ is that you end up with an extra user account. And sometimes the accounts transferred that way aren't recognized as the same ones, thus the permissions problems.

Why didn't my 'messages' and 'facetime' cloud-over to my new ipad?

Why didn't my 'Messages' and 'Facetime' apps on my iphone cloud-over to my new ipad. My contacts did! When I try to get in to them on my ipad an error comes up saying it won't let me and to check network settings????

Do you have the PDFs on the computer's iTunes (or iBooks app if using a Mac with Mavericks on) that you restored the new iPad from ?
The 'sync collections' setting doesn't copy PDFs between devices, it just means that if an item is on more than one device and you move it into a collection on one of them, then it will also be moved into the same collection on your other device(s) - but it won't copy PDFs (or epubs/ibooks) to the other device if it's not already on there.
If they aren't on your computer then if though they aren't iTunes purchases you should be able to copy them over from the first iPad via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

Why didn't my Muse update to MuseCC?

In my Creative Cloud Apps it show that Muse is up to date to Muse CC. I can't find a Muse CC in my applications folder like I did with Indesign CC, Photoshop CC etc. Why didn't my Muse update to MuseCC?

Try uninstalling Adobe Muse and use one of the links below to install Adobe Muse :
