Why does apple only make 32 and 64 gb ipod 5's? The price went up, so i cant afford a new one

Why?

Apple, like a lot of companies, does market analysis to determine what the buyers want. Products are then manufactured to satisfy the largest majority of customers...they have to make economic decisions about the numbers of products based on predicted sales. So, the larger storage devices are what their market decisions said should be provided.

Why does apple only support mp4 videos?

It's not really a problem, i usually use my friends computers to convert my videos since mine is so slow.
But why does apple only support MP4 and MOV formats? Why not MPEG or DivX?
I know they cannot use WMV because it is a Microsoft format.
It's just sometimes when i convert videos, the audio becomes out of sync or iTunes complains it's not playable on my iPod.
I would just like to know why?
Thanks for your time.

If Apple chooses to go with H.264 or MP4 or whatever else they want to support, maybe it would be real nice if iTunes could automatically convert to those formats. So if I dropped my universally standard (and supported by most DVD players) DivX video clip in the library, iTunes would convert and format the video to an iPod friendly format.
So, let me see if I understand this correctly. You want Apple to pirate proprietary codecs from DivX and build them into iTunes QT access. Tell me, does this mean that Apple is working as your agent and you will be the one spending time behind bars or paying the fines. Or, are you saying that Apple should act as an agent for DivX and charge you for a version of iTunes with legal codecs installed. How about Windows Media? Want to double the cost? What about Real? Or maybe Apple should have different versions of iTunes -- one for you and one for the guy who lives next door who uses old Indeo files?
I have tried several 3rd party converters and they all suck.
Perhaps you should be more selective in choosing a converter or invest in a commercial product which is supported by the people selling it.

Why does siri only have business and maps for U.S and not Ausstralia?

why does siri only have business and maps for U.S and not Ausstralia?

what does this mean ?
Beta means it is unfinished, not fully featured and may have bugs.
so is it not possible for siri to tell me the weather, and maps and businesses for Australia?
That's correct. Nor will it do it for me in the UK. As it say's in the Siri FAQ I linked to:
"Maps and local search support will be available in additional countries in 2012."

Welcome to the boards.
First, what kind of liquid was it, and was it fully submersed? For how long? Do you see water droplets or moisture behind the screen? How long did you leave it in rice for? Etc. More data please.
And the short answer is no, apple care does not extend from your iPhone to your iPad mini. Both items require separate Apple Care plans to be covered. Furthermore, I don't think water damage is covered under Apple Care. Only manufacturing defects.
If you bought it on a Credit Card, you may be lucky enough to call them and ask them if they have a replacement program as a benefit for being a card holder. I believe AMEX has one on their Platinum cards, and worse case scenario, you can always try to file a claim with your home insurance or renters insurance (check your policy). Just beware, if you go the Insurance route in filing a claim, you might have your premium go up in the next cycle.
It's a double edged sword, I'm sorry.

Why does Apple not allow me to Change "Siri's" name on the I5?

Why does Apple not allow me to Change "Siri's" name on the I5 (NOT how, but WHY)?

No one here can address a question as to "why" Apple does anything.

HT1665 Why does music come out muddled and echoing in alarm mode when the iPhone is connected to the Bose SoundDock lll?

There is a very unique problem with the iPhone 5 and iPad mini when connected to the Bose SoundDock III.
In normal music playback, music sounds great coming out of the Bose SoundDock, but, when a song is chosen for the Apple Alarm App and turns on when the alarm goes off, the music sounds terrible. It reverberates, echoes, is muddled, sounds messy.
What is so odd about this is the same sound coming out of a speaker-device connected to the phone's headphone jack sounds perfect, and as intended.
It only has this issue when it is in alarm mode and it's connected via the lighting port connector.
Is this an Apple software glitch that wasn't researched fully or a manufacturing defect on the Bose end?
I've tried a couple Bose systems so it isn't peculiar to one SoundDock.
What are your thoughts?

Check Settings > General > Cellular > Cellular Data and make sure it's "On".

My macbook pro charger does not work!! I have extended warranty/Guarantee from the store, do they exchange or give me a new one?

Hi,
There is a problem with my MacBook Pro Charger. It was working for a few months, but then it just doesnt work. My laptop doesnt charge!!
I have an extended guarantee from the store, i got my laptop, does it apply Warrantee/Guarantee? There is no problem with my laptop, cause it charges all fine with my wife's charger!
Thanks

In as much as we here are not the store the best thing to do is bring it back and have them give you a new one. You should be most certainly covered under warranty. (As long as your dog didn't eat it).

HT5784 Why does Apple only "update" to already outdated versions

Hi, why can't Apple update to current stable versions of OpenSSL (1.0.1e), Ruby (2.0), Rails (3.2.13), etc. Why can't Apple ship current stable versions of all the command line tools like emacs, vi, zsh, ruby, python, etc. And Rails 2 must be a joke, that's extremely outdated. Why is this?
I don't understand it. Sure I can upgrade my userland myself with Homebrew, etc. but it would be nice if Apple won't forget the pro users and therefore will ship a modern userland.
It looks like there was a time when current versions were shipped, but now it's not interesting anymore and only security fixes are released.
Any thoughts on that?
Regards,
Clemens

The bash version used in Mavericks is 6 years old.
That is a completely different issue. Bash, and a few other key pieces of open source software, switched to the GPLv3 license sometime in 2007. That license was designed specifically to keep Apple from using the software.
The version of bash on Mavericks is all that you will ever, ever get unless you build your own. I suggest trying out zsh which is under no such licensing contraints. The lastest version of zsh is included in Mavericks.
Do you think it helps to create a feature request to update OpenSSL, etc. at radar.apple.com ? (I am thinking about Mac OS X 10.10)
That would be a good idea. While I understand Apple's approach, it isn't great from a marketing perspective. Apple really does need to switch to the latest OpenSSL, even if only for appearance's sake.

Why does apple tv always connect to itunes even when I own the movie and it is on my computer?

So I have my entire itunes library on a HD that I bring with my laptop back and forth. My problem is not at my house where I have an internet connection, but it is at my cabin in the woods where I do not have an internet connection. Why is my apple tv always trying to connect to the itunes store whenever the movie I am trying to play is on my computer and on the network? I have an airport express setup creating my network, but like I said I do not have an internet connection. I am just using the AX to give me a wifi network. It is constantly looking for the itunes store. Is there a way to bypass this, or is this a Apple security feature? Thanks

I understand that point. They are mostly bought from iTunes. But, I can watch on my laptop, iPad, iPhone on an airplane or wherever without an Internet connection. So why the hang up on my apple tv, should it not just be an extension of my laptop?

Why does Apple only let you authorize 5 products on 1 account?

Is there any way arround this. Reason is that I just ordered the New iPad to replace the original iPad also I just ordered the new iPhone 5 to replace the 4. So what do you do to get it all set up? I have 3 other devices so I'm at the limit!

Why did Apple just make organising WORSE!? Go back to the old layout! but change colours maybe APPLE!

Ok this afternoon i updated my computer, it looked fine didn't seem like much of a problem, but when i finally decided to sync my photos and organise my photos in iPhoto it was so bad! I could not tell where everything is and now it is HARDER! to move my photos around! APPLE SHOULD HAVE KEPT THE OLD LAYOUT! I mean seriously, if you wanted change, change the colours maybe! not the entire layout! i want my organising easy, but apple now you have disappointed me!
Sincerly,
An Unhappy customer!
My words may not mean much, or may not be seen but they really need to be because i am sure i am not the only one with this issue.

But I would say that simply telling them that it got more difficult is pointless. You have to tell them how it is more difficult.

Why does my external monitor name and resolution change when I close the lid?

When I close my lid on my early 2001 MBP, the external monitor reverts to a lower resolution. I am not even able to select the proper resolution.
I am using VGA (I need VGA for my KVM). When the lid is open, the monitor sees the correct monitor, and I can set the correct resolution. When the lid closes, it only shows a genertic VGA monitor and defaults to a lower resolution. I am not able to change the resolution up when I have the lid closed as well. Does anyone have any insight into this?

Why does Apple charge you extra when you purchase an app from the Appstore?

Does this usually happen? This was my first time buying something from the Appstore. I had $20.00 and i bought Infinity Blade 2 for $2.99. Now my balance is $16.83. I got charged $3.17 instead. It's not a lot more but i just want to know does this usually happen?

That's tax. Just like everything else we buy.

Why does facetime only use a wireless network; isn't 3G the same thing?

I thought buying an iPad2 with wifi+3g would give me constant internet time. Why does facetime only work with a wifi network? Shouldn't the 3G "kick in" if there is no WiFi around?
My other problem is in the Photo's section: I've looked at the tutorials and read the sections on photo's in the ipad manual and I still cannot figure out how to label an album?
Any help in both of these areas would be greatly appreciated...Thank You!!
Paul J.

Yes.
Photos in the iPad's Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. These photos are included with the iPad's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, but if these photos aren't imported by your computer and a problem develops with your iPad's backup in regards to this data and you restore your iPad with iTunes if wanted or needed, kiss these photos goodbye. The same if your iPad is lost or stolen and not replaced with another.
As with any other photos on your computer that are organized by events or albums selected to be transferred to your iPad, import these photos with your computer and organize the imported photos in the same way you organize any other photos imported from a digital camera, etc. Select the albums under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences followed by a sync.
This way you have the photos available on your computer's hard drive for access there as well along with being organized as you prefer, and which can be included with your computer's backup along with all other data.
