Why does Apple use Bonjour?
Can I ask a simple question to others?
Why is it that Apple prides itself for simplicity and reliability does it employ a flakey protocol called Bonjour?
Firstly I would like to point out that anything with a French name is going to have disaster written on it and secondly, why are they using a protocol that clearly causes wireless problems against some manufacturers of routers? Surely we are going back to the bad old days of Windows WINS or hostname technology when really we should be using DNS or IP technology.
Best Regards
Servlan.

Your question is for Apple. They are not here. Apparently, you did not read the Terms of Use Agreement for this area.
This is a forum for users. Even if we know the answer, we can't speak for Apple regarding a design decision made by Apple.
If you want Apple to hear you, you need to contact them directly. They will not respond on this forum.

This is a total pain in the ***. I've been using ios products since the launch of the iPhone 4 and they've suddenly changed to this nonsense? Why does Apple treat its users like they're 4 years old?
Those things are nothing new. People were doing that three years ago and Apple felt their security was sufficient then. I don't have a credit card on file so I'm not worried about anyone getting my credit card info.
I have sent my feedback to Apple. Their response included "this is policy. There is no way around the security measures." and "I have provided Apple's answer. There is no further escalation point or anyone I can transfer you to that is going to provide a different answer at this time." -
i cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..
I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help -
Why does Apple kick their old subscribers under the bus? I have an iMac G5 1.9 and 2.1 computer using Leopard 10.5.8 system, and I cannot renew my MobileMe account, why? Is Apple incapable of keeping their old subscriber accounts active and still update their system? Maybe I should look into buying a PC in the future? I eagerly await your reply. Thanks
MobileMe is being terminated in two weeks. If you have files on your iDisk which are not also on your computer you need to be downloading them as soon as possible or you will lose them.
You can migrate to iCloud and set Mail up manually to receive your @me.com mail:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
You will not be able to sync calendars or contacts. If you want to have general online file storage you will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options:

See title.
This does not answer you question as to "why does apple", because for some reason Apple will treat us like children and try to do everything for you. An unrelated example would be trying to change the IP address of an Airport Extreme Base Station. You cannot. It will always grab the first IP in your subnet whether you like it or not. OK I digress. What I can say is that iTunes, in it's infinite wisdom, will look at your display and decide whether it will playback a HD movie (minimum 1280x800). If not, based upon display settings, it will refuse you the HD download. The "why" I cannot answer other than if you buy the HD movie on any other device like your iPhone 4 or iPad, you cannot share it from your library. So, maybe they get to sell more copies of the movie? That's my best guess. I've been an Apple guy since I first bought my Apple IIe. But honestly, I fume at them for being entirely non-responsive to their customers. Another example is the loss of the scroll arrows starting in OS Lion. Despite thousands and maybe millions of customer complaints, they refuse to listen. (Wow, I feel so much better...)

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 -
IF UPDATES TO APPS THAT CAME WITH OUR MAC ARE FREE, WHY DOES APPLE REQUIRE BILLING INFORMATION TO BE COMPLETED IN THE SCREEN JUST BEFORE ACCESS TO INSTALLING FREE UPDATES???
It is necessary to confirm your identity as the 'buyer'. Please do not use all capital letters. It is not well regarded here and can be tricky to read for some. Thank you.

Why does Apple keep breaking the podcast app?
Why does Apple keep breaking the podcast app?
Here are my issues, maybe you can help... And yes "breaking" and "nightmare" are accurate descriptions of this update...
1. Syncing is now impossible without WiFi or a Cellular connection. I've tried your guide in the other thread, but it didn't help.
When I sync podcasts with iTunes, they DO NOT SHOW UP in the app unless I connect my iPhone 5S to WiFi or Cellular. As soon as I connect it to something, new episodes that I manually synced finally show up and can be played.
2. Arranging the podcasts in any order is now pointless. Any sort of wireless connection will reset my order to a randomized one. It's not even "podcasts with the newest episodes on top", it's just random.
3. Apple doesn't seem to allow any other podcast app to use the manual sync in iTunes. Am I wrong about that? I looked at countless paid apps and they all have their own cloud or system to only deliver episodes wirelessly...
4. And that constant prompt about Cellular data access could drive anyone insane!
I have never been this frustrated with an Apple product in my life... -

Welcome to the Apple community.
Yes, the quality and efficiency of the audio should be the same for both methods. The fact that it isn't may suggest that you have a problem on your network. Have you checked for interference. -
Why does Apple misslead us by selling what appears to be Season 2 Game Of Thrones when in fact it is only some timewasting trailers and the actual program is only available on 18th February 2013!
Deceitful comes to mind....
I am sure they will say it is in the small print and you should have read it and what you got was these 'Really Cool Trailers'......but come on Apple - don't screw up your BRAND now if you carry on you will have a core problem! My trust is waning.
Its is not like Aple will be stocked-out on the 18th February is it - in reality I guess they just want the money upfront well in advance of delivering the product....just not on Steve will be turning in his grave.....etresoft, I think you are being unnecessarily harsh to gloriastitz. She is frustrated and doesn't understand computers at the level you do. What she is experiencing is frustrating, so she is frustrated. I have been a help-desk professional for over 15 years now, and emotions are part of the business.
I know it has been over 6 months since gloriastitz posted her reply. I hope she got a useful answer, but I fear we have satisfactorily scared her away from seeking help.
So, the first best response to tell someone is that the problem they are experience is almost certainly fixable, but may require more information to solve. You tell them you understand their frustration (even if you personally don't experience frustration or don't understand why people my express frustration publicly about a problem that frustrates them). It's just good protocol.
Then you work with the person to break down the problem into steps. If you don't have a ready answer and don't think you might even know the answer with sufficient data, then back out and leave it to others to tackle.
I've been having a similar problem with my Mail program. The cause is still unclear to me after vieweing the logs and changing settings where I know them to be. There appears to be a setting that is not clearly placed in any of the typical UI locations for initiating the desired action for either a feed: or mailto: call.

I think you are. This is not a place to rant and complain. It will just encourage people to give you unhelpful responses. If you want to complain, go elsewhere. If you want help, ask for it.
For example, can you explain what those dialog boxes actually say? Regardless of who is starting Mail, it will not prevent your machine from sleeping. -

In the final analysis it is down to parents to use the parental control features.
In addition to that, parents should regularly check the nature of all downloaded apps available to their children.
