Why don't apple add animated gifs support on their products

It's so annoying that their products still don't support animated gifs it will be great if they added this feature. And it will be great if they add Bluetooth file share.

Why don't apple have 4 weekly appointments on their calendar

Why doesn't Apple have 4 weekly repeats in their calendar?

As far I know Apple haven't said (you can do it as 'custom' repeat on a Mac) - you can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe in a future update it'll be added : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Add animated GIF support in chats (for computer users)

Support!

I know that there's a post for getting GIFs availalble in the mobile section but I wanted to add it to the laptop/desktop section. I think that being able to add GIFs just like if they were regular images would be a tremendous improvement to the IM system.

Why don't Apple support Skype?

Why don't Apple support Skype like they supports twitter and soon Facebook

Because Skype support Skype, they wrote/own it not Apple.
If you are having problems with Skype on your iPod Touch look on thier support forums to see if there's a fix or someone who can help you there.
If your question is why you can't use FaceTime to contact a Skype contact you can't but, have you searched the App Store for Skype and downloaded the App, it works like a dream.

Why don't new imac display driver support rotate into portrait mode

why don't new 24 in imacs support display rotate into portrait mode? they have ati radeon HD 2600 chipset!

OK - I figured it out. Apple's 10.4 display driver does not externalize the rotate parameter for the new IMAC alum 24inch display - even though the ATI video card supports rotation.
However, the SwitchResX utility (search on google) will switch the display into rotate modes 90/180/270. I tried it and it works in 90 degree rotate.
Once you install SwitchResX, you have to do 2 steps. First, open the SwitchResX control panel and under its Menus tab, further enable its taskbar widget to allow "Display Orientation" settings. Second, then use SwitchresX taskbar widget (now displaying a new "Rotation" parameter setting for Standard - 90 - 180 - 270.
In addition (obviously ... for safety reasons) you will probably want to attach the device to a VESA standard display mount that allows safe physical rotation of the IMAC. Apple sells for $29 the VESA Mount Adapter Kit for 24-inch iMac. This will allow attachment of the IMAC to a VESA mount. (I am now researching VESA mounts).

Why don't apple invent an iPad Note with a pen?

Why don't apple invent an iPad Note with a pen like Samsung Note? we really new one from apple design specially students.

I do not understand? You can readily use a stylus with an iPad now (I do) and there are many note taking apps that allow free form handwriting and drawing, (TopNotes, Notebook+, Notes Plus to name just three I am familiar with). There are also several apps that do handwriting recognition and convert your printed or written words to text (I have WritePad for that, works very well).
What is that you think is lacking with an iPad now?

Why does the iPhone convert animated .GIF images?

I saved a bunch of animated .GIF files on my iPhone.
When I imported them onto my computer, they were all single framed .JPG files.
Why does the iPhone convert the images, and is there any way to prevent this?
Thanks!

you can play gif in webView ,just the same way you load a jpeg or png..
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"santa" ofType:@"gif"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path isDirectory:NO];
/* Load the request. */
[myWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]];
the gif that is locally saved will be loaded.

How do I add animated .gif files to a JFrame?

Hi, I'm making an underwater scene in java for my degree assignment. I have a JFrame with an underwater background and a bunch of .gif fish moving around inside, but they should be animated and they're not. They animate outside of java. How can I make the .gif files animate?

How to add Animated GIF to an iWeb '11 page?

Trying to take our existing website (not created in iWeb) and recreate in iWeb. Have an animated GIF on our home page. When I try to drag the GIF to the iWeb page, it's no longer animated. And when I publish, again it's no longer animated. I need help.
Doug

It should play. Publish you site to a folder on the hard drive and open it locally to see if it plays there.
What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
Make sure there's no object under the gif file. I found trying to put an image behind it would kill the gif and require me to remove the give and add it again to the page. They seem to be a little picky.

Add animated gif to JFrame toolbar in place of default coffee cup

Hi,
I am sorry if someone has already asked this question. I have searched the forums but only found aswers relating to adding static images to replace the default coffee cup. Is it possible to replace this image with an animated gif? When I add an animated gif with the following code:
URL imageUrl = myProgram.class.getResource("image.gif");
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(imageUrl);
JFrame frame = new myProgramFrame();
frame.setIconImage(icon.getImage());
I am loading the image from an executable jar.
The program fails to load (but produces no errors).
Thank you for any help you can offer.

Hmmm ... intrestin, I've just modified a *.gif file of my own to make the icon animated and 'java MyProgram' just hangs at the command line -so, I guess you're stuffed with it. I can't think of a workaround either, sorry

Animated Gif supported?

Mac OS 10.4.11 Acrobat CS4 - Can Acrobat support an animated gif.

Seem to be unsupported, sorry.
See this thread:
Re: I can't seem to get my GIF files on iBook. Anyone else having this problem?
Try a simple movie in a media widget or keynote slideshow widget instead.
