Why has Apple not addressed the problems with its own software?
Since I seem to have made the fatal mistake of upgrading my lovely iMac to Snow Leopard, most of my iLife 09 products have ceased working. In particular iDVD, where as before on faithful Leopard it did its job 100% it now decides to crash whenever it feels like it, leaving me with a third party application to use. Myself, along with approx 2000 other users have the same problem, so come on Apple, why the problems with your own software?? and why are we still waiting??
Hi hipster36
Welcome to apple discussions. Question for you: Is your mac intel based?
If not, what's the objective in upgrading to Snow Leopard as opposed to continuing to work perfectly within Leopard? What added features were you considering to upgrade to? Are there any benefits in doing this for your own mac (even if it is intel based)?
It's wise to approach all upgrades with caution (meaning always back up your current / working HD).
Frankly, the way I upgrade is to clone my existing hard drive and then boot to the clone. Thereafter, I install the latest upgrade or OS (assuming it works well on the clone). I guess what I'm saying is to never upgrade without backing up and performing a test drive of the latest OS before you opt to alter your main hard drive. One can't assume that the latest and greatest Mac OS will continue to work fine on a mac which didn't first ship with this particular OS.
This latest Mac OS /Snow Leopard is a bold step forward for apple. It's bold step forward in that it excludes all non-intel based macs.

Why are Apple not recognising the problem?
Can anyone tell me why Apple are not recognising that there is obviously a fault with iTunes 6.0.2. I like many others have been prompted to upgrade and now find that iTunes will not run. I have tried absolutely everything by reinstalling and even doing a system restore but just kept getting the "experienced a problem and has to shut down". I have also tried to do a stand alone reinstall of Quicktime which seems to have stopped the error coming up now but iTunes is still not there !!! Help. It seems as if it is running somewhere in the background when i try and launch it. Somebody please help??
I have THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. Does anyone care that Apple has cut us off from the music they sold us??
We can't listen to the music until we Auth a new computer.
We can't auth a new computer without upgrading to 6
We can't upgrade to 6, because the 6 upgrade is FULL OF BUGS and FAILS TO WORK! -
Why Are Apple Not Addressing This Problem Of Ipod Crashing When Synicing!
I bought 15 Ipod Classics for my Employees for to use while working on software projects, and all 15 ipod crash at 3.xGB no matter which machine we use to put the 16.5GB of music on (we asked the employees to bring the music in and we have a music lience), and we have used the developers pc spec(Described below) the helpdesk pcs, sales, marketing (who use macs), finance, the music was stored on a seperate HDD for ease.
why is there no answer for this problem, ever where you look on apple theres no anwser.
we have a mac specialist on site and he is stumped by this problem, can someone please give an anwser please!!!!
thank you in advance.

I just posted my annoyances here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2411594&tstart=0
So far, nothing has helped. Have tried multiple things:
- reboot mac - fail
- "reset" ipod - fail
- repartition ipod (erases everything, has to reset a few things, start from scratch) - fail
- "restore" ipod (downloads firmware, installs it, erases everything!) - fail
- move library from external drive to internal drive (mac mini) - fail
- delete itunes, download, reinstall - fail
- install itunes 8.2 - fail
- install itunes 9.1 (over 8.2) - fail
- manage library manually - fail
- use powered hub instead of plugging in directly - fail
- unplug other usb devices - fail
Always end up with error message saying it can't read/write to the ipod.
NOTHING has worked. Went to store yesterday, guy confirmed ipod working and said delete/resinstall and if that doesn't work to bring the mac in. [You can read my experience trying to do that.]
My guess is Apple either screwed something up for ipod classics when they were wasting time screwing with Palm Pre's ability to sync with iTunes (as has been suggested in other threads) and doesn't want to admit it, or they just plain don't care about ipod classics because we should be good little apple sheeple and buying ipads. I'm just a little disgusted right now, so my opinion is just slightly biased at the moment. -
Why has Apple NOT fixed the bug on iphone 4s on Meteor?
My phone has never worked since i bought it.. It is not fit for purpose. it constantly keeps searching for network.. both my Texts and Calls fail on almost every attempt. ive been bounced from Apple to Meteor, back to Apple and still i have a dud phone!!! I have restored it 4 times. sent it bake to meteor, changed sims and still it does not work.
this issue is know to both Apple and Meteor, yet both companies seem happy to allow customers to have this outrageous experience.
Apple what are you doing to fix this?Your not speaking to Apple here just user to user like you and I.
have you tried resetting your network in settings.
Apple doesn't control networks, that would be your carrier they activate your service, so your anger you be towards meteor not apple. -
Why does apple not remove the malware Genieo
Why does apple not remove the malware Genieo - it takes over the Safari browser even with extensions turned off - firefox works fine but the malware is still alive and kicking on my mac. Should I just uninstall safari and hope the malware is not doing more damage in the background?
Hi Sickof --
Apple has never had anything to do with Genio. It is sneakily installed with other apps you think would be helpful. It is very sickening, IMHO.
Here's a thread here -- It's long, I know, but it's got great information for you.

Why do Apple not register the serial numbers of stolen Apple Products?
My 3 month old 4gb iPod Nano was stolen today at the airport
As there is a small possibility of someone contacting Apple for support with a stolen product and according to http://www.stolenipods.com "Apple's iTunes software records the serial number of the last connected iPod",
so why do Apple not register the serial number of stolen products?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)If Apple do not regsiter serial numbers why do
they ask for it in every form of support e.g. email,
phone calls etc. - to waste time or to enter it in
their customer records?
Read Chris' post again, please. They DO record
serial numbers when you register your iPod for
repair/service/warranty purposes.
They DO NOT release this information to anyone.
HP are not the Police either!!
HP is also not Apple. HP might have different
policies.
If you've filed your police report... then you've
done the best you can already.
We understand you are bitter... but please do not
take your anger out on Apple or anyone on these
forums. It is not Apple's responsibility to track
down lost or stolen goods.
Jeff Bryan :: Stolen iPods
I disagree. I feel that if the technology and systems are already in place and easily implemented, Apple have a responsiblility to their CUSTOMERS, many of whom are extremely loyal to the brand, to faciliate the locating of registered (and not inexpensive)products. Or, at the very least discouraging the theft of products that can be traced. -
Hello apple
I have the problem with my iPhone and my friends have this problem too.
My iPhone have the problem about calling and answer the call. When I use my iPhone to call I can't hear anything from my iPhone but the person that I call can answer it but when answer both of us can't hear anything and when I put my iPhone to my face the screen is still on and when I quit the phone application and open it again it will automatic call my recent call. And when my friends call me my iPhone didn't show anything even the missed call I'm only know that I missed the call from messages from carrier. Please check these problem I restored my iPhone for 4 time now in this week. I lived in Hatyai, Songkhla,Thailand and many people in my city have this problem.
Who have this problem??Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

Why can't I open iTunes or apps on ipad1? And why do apple not support the latest update for ipad1 when it's less than 2 years old. I am sick of huge corporations ripping off joe public!
And the processor limitations.
iPad: RAM - 256MB, Processor - 1 GHz Apple A4
iPad 2: RAM - 512MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5
iPad 3: RAM 1024MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5X
Similarily, the iPad 2 did not get Siri and some other features in iOS 6.

Why does Verizon not address the 4G capability of Iphone 4 in their "Frequently Asked Questions"?
Obviously 4G is a popular question yet Verizon Wireless avoids it like the plague in their frequently asked questions... What is Verizon afraid of? Iphone 4 for Verizon will not work on a 4G network. Plain and simple. Why can't the company that provide me my services not be up front with its own customers?
OMG!the iPhone 4 is a 3G phone... even on at&t and every other network around the world. so why would they need to be "up front" about something that doesn't exist? unless i'm not understanding what you/re saying.

vine.co can not watch videos on other browsers do not have the problem with firefox firefox there just did not work, delete cookies, history
I think this problem may be caused by Yahoo's changes making it incompatible with the klatest version of FireFox.
This is suddenly affecting many many people who use Firefox and are members of Yahoo Groups. All these people say they themselves changed nothing and have not been locked out before when using Firefox. But suddenly, within the last week, they are.
What did Mozilla do or what did Yahoo do to cause this problem? I can say that I was not blocking cookies and after trying a number of things to fix it, I went to Yahoo's home page and navigated to my group from here.
This problem is not anything a user did. Either Firefox is at fault or Yahoo is. I want to know which company is at fault and when they are going to fix it. -

How do I report an App that is not working and the seller has not fixed the problem yet is continuing to sell it? People are being ripped off and Apple does not seem to care.

I recently purchased a scam app (GPS map Virgin Islands) by the Kaart Data LLC. I first emailed the developers and got a quick response: "we are sorry that you don't like the app, but we don't do refund". I went to the "Report a Problem" link from Apple like King_Penguinsuggested, and got a response from Apple saying they will refund the whole amount and start an investigation on that app. So it definitely worthes a try.
Glad you got some resolution on that. I'm not familier with the app you had issues with, but the one the OP was questioning is very highly regarded and widely sold. Odds are the issue was with his iPad and he never responed to inquiries about troubleshooting (I suspect he had not tried much of anything). -
FCPX10.1.1 does not solve the problem with long-time clip editing!
OS: clean installed mac os10.9.1
FCPX: FCPX10.1.1
Project: 4clips, all of the clips is about 1 hour long (dvcprohd)
Disk: 900MB/S++
machine specs:
2*3.06Ghz 6-core
24GB DDR3
and I've tried these graphic cards:
K5000
and
2 5770
all get the same results:
If I double press the "L" key, the response of FCPX is too slow
If I do other operation like browse the clip, or import long time clip,
the FCPX will become too slow to browse the timeline.
I've found the FCPX like to generate audio waves of the clip and
there's no option to shutdown this! I've tried all the options in FCPX like
do not show the waveform of audio in preference and close the audio waveform in timeline
I don't think I can work the project with 10.1.x.
the 10.0.9 also has the 1st problem, but don't have the 2nd problem.
Another project: 2000++ 4K 50P clips(XAVC), but on FCPX 10.0.9, all of the clips is less than 40mins, always 20seconds.
though it will get slower when we import clips day after day,
it's much more smoother than 10.1.1!!!!!!
so,
I don't think we should update to 10.1.x for the little promotion of performance.
and 10.1.x also do not support nvidia K5000 card.
the render is slower than ait5700.....
I hope apple can solve the problem,
all of the above is just basic editing needs!
if the fcpx can not do even a long-time clip editing
why should I use it?2 project:
1. 4*1 hour clips dvcprohd
that's the problem! I can not bear it.
2. 2000++clips 4K XAVC 50P project which I don't run on FCPX 10.1.1
I run it in fcpx10.0.9, it's fine, but slower when I imported more and more clips.
until now I can bear it.
the fcpx10.1.1 editing long-time clip has problem:
1.
it use 150MB/s harddisk speed to generate the waveform.
I have 900MB/s disk speed, so that's not the problem,
but it generate all the time!
1 hour clip's wavefrom generates for 1 hour without stopping, if I stop it , the fcpx crashed!
2.
when I skimming the clip for editing, the fcpx gets slower, always 2mins to response my operation.
3.
when I double press J or L key, the fcpx will need about 1 min to response.
the FCPX10.0.9 editing long-time clip problem:
the fcpx10.0.9 can handle the long-time clips, but also has very slow response when I doulbe press J or L key.
