Why does Apple hate early adapters? NO MMS for iPhone original??

Can someone explain why apple and ATT can't manage to figure out how to make MMS messaging work for a tiny, hand sized computer (aka the original iphone) when it seems like EVERY other carrier and company will give you a phone that does that from day one?

I don't believe AT&T has anything to do with it, the problem lies in the processor and needed OS adaptations on the iPhone that would have to come from Apple. Regardless of why, it isn't going to happen.

  • Why does apple try and make you pay for something you haven't received then they blackmail you by blocking my iPad from receiving updates?

    My daughter tried to purchase an order with a maxed out credit card, she then canceled the order or rather tried to. Since that I haven't been able to update my apps nor download free ones. So I contract apple they return an email to me saying that I must pay for the order I don't want let alone did not receive, I return the email within two minutes since then nothing. They say I must pay for the order or I will not be able to use my apps. This is the **** I have begun to expect from Icrap steve jobs we miss you.

    @roaming lah blah whatever check your appleophile crap at the door I received nothing they received nothing I'm not paying for nothing I would pay if they had mistakenly sent something and didn't receive payment but they sent me nothing therefor this is absolutely blackmail to attempt to coerce me into paying for a sale never completed as far as all sales are final well where does that apply smartass? A definition of sale is payment rendered for product received. Neither one applies they tried to process my card NSF that means they don't send product, correct Sherlock or am I guessing that you think a major conglomerate always has the little guys best interests at heart? This is a ludicrous issue from apple, especially after I bought a basic toy that can't compute as much as a net book from acer for three times the price Nuff.  Said

  • Why does Apple not provide a proper AV for OSX?

    I just found out that AVIRA AV was making my time machine backup non-working. During the troubleshooting i found a lot of support community posts that point to AV programms beside AVIRA (ESET for example) when it comes to time machine backup problems.
    Apple should (like Microsoft does for a couple of years now) provide its own, properly integrated, AV solution.
    Maybe partner up with one of the big vendors (Kaspersky or what ever) for definition updates.
    And dont tell me MAC does not need AV. Read the news

    Hey,
    Gatekeeper is meerly a Firewall which wont protect you from drive by fileformat exploits.
    Regulating which software can be installed is also a good idea especially for people without much knowledge to prevent them from installing crap.
    But as IOS and OSX market share will grow, they will be targeted more and more for common PC threats (exploits, drive by downloads, malware, botnets, viruses, etc....).
    Just observe the Metasploit Exploit Database that is slowly beginning to integrate more and more OSX exploits.
    AV like it is used on MS Windows might not be the perfect approach but just doing nothing about OS Security is even worse in my opinion...
    ClamAV btw is next to useless if you look at MAC AV test reviews....
    I am not trying to start a MAC does not need AV flamewar here  
    Maybe there are better AVs out there or there is more knowledge on Time Machine and AV problems out there...
    Update:
    I dont mean Apple is doing nothing about OS Security. Sandboxing, ASLR and other mechanismens are something obviously. However Application/Fileformat exploits will always find exploitable bugs and Signature and Heuristic based AV are a viable option to adress those issues.

  • Why does Apple support not have the manual for iPad and iOS5 available?  The manual on the site has none of the new features.

    Has anyone else noticed that the manual has none of the new features, for example iCloud in it?  The iPhone iOS5 manual is correct.

  • Why does apple doesnt provide a delivery report for text messages.?

    pplease provide one

    Only Apple could answer that question and they are not here.
    Submit your feedback requesting that feature directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

    For what it's worth, the native messaging apps on every Android phone I've ever had don't provide it, either.

  • I downloaded a ringtone from Itunes and apple owned company to my Iphone4 and then followed all the instructions sent to itunes on pc and synced back to iphone still got squat. Why does apple need to be so hard for something so simple.

    I downloaded a ringtone from itunes (an apple company) to my iphone4 (an Apple product). Followed all the instructions from "Help" boards, sent to itunes on my pc converted to m4r synced back to iphone and still got squat. I thought iphones and apple were supposed to be so user friendly? Any other phone you download a ringtone click on it "use as ringtone" and your done.

    Frank, thanks for your note.  I wrote "COMPLETED" because I had gone to a lot of effort to get the content of the book precisely as I wanted it. I would fully expect to see my level of effort and care matched by functional competence in Aperture 3 to render the book the way I created it.  Too much to ask?
    And yes, I upgraded the Aperture 2 Library first.  [Not ALL my tens of 000s of pix, because I use Lightroom selectively for photo editing. But Yes to the Aperture 2 Library.]  That step took a number of minutes, but seemed to work fine (no error messages of any kind).
    Then I opened the existing book project in Aperture 3, which followed some "magic-box" process that took a minute or so.  As I said, when that step was done, by all appearances the book was ready to submit for printing - until I examined the photos a little more closely.  You did see the blurry example I included, didn't you? That is what each and every photo looks like.
    Text-box content appears to have been rendered pertectly, for the record (including captions).
    So, ... is this result something you have heard of before?  Do you know of a one-step solution?  Or am I looking at an extended picture-by-picture fix?

  • Why does apple not provide debit card facility for app store in India ?

    Well it would be nicer to have debit card services in India for app store

    The iTunes store in India accepts credit cards but not a debit card?
    My debit card includes a Visa logo which can be used as with any Visa credit card and is also my ATM card for withdrawing cash from an ATM machine, and is accepted with the iTunes store in the U.S.

  • In Address Book, why does Apple let you create custom fields in the Template cards but not have them available for importing?

    I open Address Book, go into Preferences, select Template and under the Names field (friend, assistant, father, etc) I add a custom field called "Principal".
    I also add two more custom fields in the Email area.
    Quit Address Book then relaunch. Add a new contact and the new custom fields, Principal, etc. are there. All good so far.
    I have a Now Contact file with about 200 contacts in it. I export all fields as a Text file, Tab delimited. No problems there. With Address Book launched, select Import, pick the text file, leave Text Encoding on Automatic and click Open.
    The window that shows the fields for Address Book and fields for the text file side by side opens. This is where you match up the correct fields for importing. If I go to one of the fields from the text file that I created a custom field for, click under the Address Book heading on the Do not import, scroll thru the Apple choices of fields, none of the custom fields show up. Only the original Apple ones are there. Why does Apple let you create them in the Template area but not have them available for importing? Does anyone have suggestions on getting around this?

    While most likely not of interest to you, Spotlight can also tell you where the files it finds are located
    Hover the mouse pointer over the name, and press Command-Option and the path to the file will be displayed.
    As for opening a terminal session in the directory where a file is located, there is Applescripts that do just that as well as specific features in Lion/Mountain Lion terminal:

  • Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8

    Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8?

    The kit is firmly inserted in thhe iPad's dock ? You could also try a reset and see if it's recognised after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    I haven't had problems using the kit with SD cards from Canon cameras . What capacity is the card, and it's an SD or SDHC card - if it's an SDXC card that's formatted as ExFAT then it won't be recognised

    Why does Apple TV take hours to record movies?

    Not sure what you mean by 'record movies'
    If you are trying to rent a movie and it's taking a long time before it starts then that is due to your connection.

    That is the point of a beta version.
    Software in the beta phase will generally have many more bugs in it than completed software, as well as speed/performance issues. The focus of beta testing is reducing impacts to users, often incorporating usability testing. "
