Why has apple waited so long to make the colored back for ipod touch

I wonder why apple has waited so long to make colored backs for the ipod touch. the last models attracted scratches and you couldn't do anything about it and even if you had a case you would get some kind of chip or whatever. Haven't they heard the comments on youtube and stuff and now they anwer the call this should have ended at the second or third generation.

Apple has not said why. The terms of use of this forum include:

    I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs. in order to start rebuilding my music collection?

    You should be able to recover the media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new library but it is not something I've personally tested.
    When you get it all working, make a backup!

  • How can I make the best of my ipod touch screen with no internet connection??

    I've been offered an ipod touch screen last Christmas and it's only a week ago that I took it out of its box. I still can't figure out how to transfer my music library from my laptop to the ipod. But I've installed some apps thinking I would be able to listen to my favourite radio station and play some games wherever I go and to my disappointment nothing's working if not connected to an internet connection. I thought an ipod was an improved walkman and actually it is nothing but a device that should be connected to the internet to work.
    Considering that I don't have a free internet connection to the internet on my mobile phone, I was just wondering wht's the purpose to have an ipod? I really consider to go back to my old walkman... Thank you for your comments to help me to make the best of my Christmas present.

    The message you are getting is saying that the iPod was previous synced to another computer. You can only sync with one computer. If you sync to another computer then the iPod media from the iPod get erased (as the message says) and is replaced with what is in the iTunes library of the second computer.
    Syncing means copying (syncing) media from your iTunes library to your computer)
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod       
    For not showing in iTunes:
    - Try entering the screen lock passcode on your iPod if not done already
    - Go to Windows Device Manager and see if there is any problems/unknown devices
    - Can you not import photos from a digital camera? The iPod appears in My Computer like a camera does.

  • Why has apple dumbed pages down.

    why has apple dumbed pages down. It is now useful for school kids and maybe party invitations, not for professional work. Now I have to use Word to do my work. This is very disappointing.
    How long will it take for them to realize that some of us depended upon the utility in pages, numbers and many of the other apps.
    Who are they appealing to?
    If they Tonka Toy their hardware, it will be time for me to move on.

    This forum is not really public and is mediated by Apple.
    Pages 5 has over 90 other features removed:

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Export your Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx and trash/archive Pages 5.
    Then rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store where other users might see it before committing.
    I also suggest you let your disappontment be known wherever Pages 5 is reviewed. There is an unfortunate tendency for people who never use Pages or barely use it to parrot the old line that if Apple removed it nobody was using the features.
    This is the same asinine thinking that suggests if you never live in or vist any part of your city that it is OK for it to be bulldozed overnight.

    WHY DONT APPLE CHARGERS LAST LONG AND WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE IT LADT LONGER ?

    Not sure what the issue is.
    I have never had an issue with a  charger, nor has anyone I know personally.
    All of my old chargers still work just fine.
    If yours are failing within the waranty period, then you should be able to get a free replacement.

  • Why has Apple not offered something like "Free Safe Text" as part of the iOS?

    I just saw a story on TV about a new app called "Free Safe Text".  I have been looking for something like that.  It is not currently offered in The Apple App store.  I have even asked our business insurance carrier for something like it.  Apple obviously has become the leader in the smart phone market.  I don't understand why they are not demonstrating a concern for safety by offering a similar app or by building it into their iOS.  I believe that the insurance community, as well as the public should demand that this be done now.  Distracted driving is killing thousands of everyone's friends, neighbors, and loved ones.  Apple should act more responsibly in this area!

    All I am saying is that the improper and unsafe use of smart phones has become a public safety issue.  I don't believe that any law or our elected public officials will ever be successful in controlling this problem.  I do not mean to imply that Apple is responsible for the irresponsible use of their devices.  I do believe that Apple, as well as all other smart phone manufacturers, should work diligently, hand and arm with the insurance industry, to build hardware and software features into their devices to solve this problem.  Ultimately, it will be the insurance community that will demand that the mobile phone industry build the necessary safety features into their products.  As the industry leader, it would be nice to see Apple at the forefront of these efforts.  I am a long term and loyal Apple product user.  They have obviously been very successful.  I want them to continue to be!  Apple should lead the industry down the road to solving this problem long term.  The responsible thing for us all to do is to encourage Apple, and the entire mobile phone industry to move quickly down this path to save as many lives as possible.  If this includes disabling smart phones entirely while in a moving vehicle, so be it.  The best solution would be to take vehicle control out of human hands.  Unfortunately, technology is not far enough along to make that feasible.

  • Why has it been so long since any updates to OS 10.6? My last update was over two months ago.

    why has it been so long since any updates to OS 10.6? My last update was in June. - Steve

    Since my previous message, there has been a Java update for Snow Leopard (at the same time as one for Lion and Mountain Lion), and its main purpose was to fix security issues. That at least shows Apple has not completely stopped doing Snow Leopard updates.
    We still don't know what is happening with general security updates for Snow Leopard, and won't until Lion gets its next general security update, or if there is a minor version update for Lion which includes security fixes.
    The one obvious missing update so far is Safari: when Safari 6 was released for Lion, it included security fixes, but there has been no corresponding Safari update for Snow Leopard. That suggests either a delay in supplying a Snow Leopard update for Snow Leopard, or that Snow Leopard updates are starting to wind down.

  • Why has apple taken ical and address book sync away on mavericks

    why has Apple taken the ical and address book sync option away from itunes iphone info tab on the new OS Mavericks ???? Absolutley insane !!!!

    Independent of iCloud, here are a couple more options:
    1)  You could sync with Google
    2)  You could set up OS X Server ($19.99 download on the Mac App Store) and set up a CalDAV server and a CardDAV server on your local network, and use that to sync.  A few articles have been written on that, Google for some of those terms and you should find a walkthrough.
    What you CANNOT do is a tethered sync via iTunes.  Given it was removed, I highly doubt it's coming back.

    If the ipad charger charges the iphone faster, why didn't they Apple just make the same charger for the iPhone?

    Apple does not do this at all anywhere at all.

    AT&T does NOT unlock iphones.
    Sorry.
