Why has ios6 removed the ability to gift on iPhone

Why has Apple removed the ability to gift Apps and music in ios6?  I'm so, so angry about this issue. I want it back IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!

Hi, I have a similar problem. I live in the UK in an area where the 3G signal is weak. Ever since I have used iphone (since iphone 3G) - I have used it with 3G switched off when at home. That way it was forced to use the GPRS (or 2G) mobile signal from o2.
This worked fine, and I had 4 or 5 bars of signal always. If I enabled 3G at home that would drop to between 1 bar and NO SERVICE. This made using the iphone as a telephone virtually impossible as call quality was rubbish and often dropped out.
I used wifi for internet so it was never an issue, and I switched on 3G when out if I needed it.
Since the ios8 upgrade APPLE have taken away the ability to switch between 2G and 3G. Instead the button now switches between 4G and either 2G or 3G, this either is decided by the iphone itself depending on the strength of the 2G and 3G signals.
I have spoken to APPLE twice about this. The first time yeaterday they flatly blamed o2 and said it was nothing to do with them. So I called o2 and guess what; yes you got it, they blamed Apple. IT reminded me of when Steve Jobs got up on that stage and denied there was ever a problem with the iPhone 4 antenna a few years back.
So I called Apple back, and today the guy I spoke to did seem to understand my problem and sympathise with it. He said I was not alone and that hopefully it would be fixed by an update.
Luckily for me I am only 3 months away from an upgrade, so if they dont fix it by then I am going to take the leap and jump to Android.
The short term solution - and you need to be quick if you have already upgraded to ios8, is to downgrade to ios7.1.2
This is not officially supported by Apple, but it you google it, it is quite easy, you have to download an ipsw file and then do a restore in itunes, but you will lose everything on the phone, and you cannot back up from a backup made with ios8.
I hope they sort this out, it has driven me mad over the past 2 days.
We need the Toggle between 2G and 3G to be re-instated.

  • Why has apple removed the ability to sync calendars, contacts, notes, and what ever by hard wire and is forcing people to use iCloud?

    Removing this ability has to be one of the worse moves that apple has made.  Beleave it or not some people may not want to connect to use iCloud.

    I hate iCloud, too
    Never use it. I don't want to trust any of my real important data to remote servers.
    Especially don't trust Apple and their servers with  personal contacts info, my calendar and appointments info, personal note, etc.
    I want the ability back to sync calendars, notes, contacts to my local computer and local storage.

  • In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button"  And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?

    In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button"  And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?
    These two things need to be remedied in their upgrades because It's become such a bother I've had to revert to older versions of PS.

    Yea, and it's a pain to get to.  What was the rational for removing the print size button?   With the magnifying glass tool selected in older versions of Photoshop you would get a button that says "print size" right next to Actual pixels, Fit Screen, Fill Screen. Now I have to go out of my way and dig for it if I want to see the print size.  Of all the buttons you could have taken away, why not fill screen?  I never use that.
    Besides the point I just downloaded the Oct Upgrade for PS and surprise! Nothing has changed and these are two big black eyes on newer versions of Photoshop.   The Brush preview window is  unchanged in CC but in CC2014 it's basically worthless.  If you apply a texture to a brush you can't properly see the scale of the texture, the spacing, scatter, etc...

  • Why Has Adobe Removed The Option For Individuals To Purchase Software And Not Use The Cloud?

    As an individual who has been using Adobe products for about 25 years for my personal use and not as a business, I find the new policy of "renting" the software and using "The Cloud" for, at least in my case, a prohibitive monthly fee, to be totally unacceptable and will result in my no longer being able to afford using Adobe products.   I do not understand why Adobe cannot offer their new cloud program for individuals and companies that may wish to use the new system and have the resources to pay in perpertuity, but they should also have the option for those of us who would rather purchase upgrades for whatever programs we use and keep them on our computer without "The Cloud" service.
    I am 67 years old and living on a fixed income.  I basically use four adobe programs... Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, and Audition as I do volunteer work at a local non-profit radio and tv organization.  If I were to "rent" those individually it would cost $80 per month... so I could take the next deal and get access to all software for $50 per month... I cannot afford either of those.  If I could upgrade one or more of the  programs every two or three years... keeping them on my computer and not using "The Cloud," then continuing to use the products would be doable.  However, being forced into a program that requires a monthly fee and use of "The Cloud" which I do not need to use, seems totally unfair.   I certainly understand that there are  businesses and individuals who will love the new program, but why not have the option?  Or perhaps a "Senior" discount as you do for educators and students?
    Something to think about.  It seems Adobe may be moving to the "Cable Television" model of monthly fees that will go no where but up.

    Hey there, you may have heard that Adobe is continuing to sell and support CS6 for customers who prefer traditional licensing.  It's last year's version instead of the latest-and-greatest CC release, but it's something to consider if that's important to you.
    As far as a "senior discount" on Adobe software, there has never been one – but one thing to consider is becoming a student or teacher because there is no age restriction on that, in which case you may become eligible for education discounts.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPod Album Art Cache - Why did they remove the feature to Sync Album Art?

    So it appears that Apple removed the ability to enable/disable album art in the iPod configuration in recent versions of iTunes so that one can't turn it off and sync then turn it on and re-sync to reset all the album art once it gets jumbled on the iPod Classic. It seems that this was a useful feature to have. This has recently happed to me for the first time, so now I'm having to re-sync my complete music library of over 80gig and it's going to take all night (and finger's crossed that iTunes doesn't crash - which is why my artwork got jumbled in the first place). Did the old method of resync'ing just the Album Art Cache just cause a re-sync of the entire music catalog anyways? What's the deal?

    It's not available with Itunes 11. Want to let Apple know you are unhappy?
    They don't read here. Send them feedback through the proper channel:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    The only way they will bring it back is if you send in enough complaints.

  • Why did you remove The option to disable Java scripts?

    Everyone knows malware always comes through java scripts. So why did you remove the option to turn it off ? Why the false saftey excuse? (duckspeak) This makes no sense. Alot of people also get errors and have slower speed with some pages so they disable it. I understand there is plugins available to block scripts but they never work 100%. It just really really seems strange that a browser that was built on the idea of safety, security and trust has now suddenly removed a item that makes users less safe, Under the guise of safety. (doublespeak)
    I will no longer use Firefox ever again unless you put this option back.

    Also note that the option is available in...
    '''<h1>about:config</h1>'''
    # In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
    # Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
    # In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
    # Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
    To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
    '''<h1>Add-ons</h1>'''
    You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you disable JavaScript, such as
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noscript/ No-Script] (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickjava/ QuickJava] (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/settingsanity/ SettingSanity] (adds back JavaScript options, including Advanced JavaScript Settings, as well as options for loading images and showing the Tab Bar)
    Im also not sure how you are a computer expert and dont even know the difference between Java and Javascript. Its pathetic that you dont know that Java is the most insecure thing, not Javascript, get your facts straight before bashing a correct answer and "Java Scripts" were not removed, but moved.

  • In Lion, why did Apple remove the up/down arrows in the scroll bars?  There is currently no way to move up and down in small increments.  WHY????

    Every mac operating system software until Lion had the ability to use up/down arrows in the scroll bar.  This makes it easy to move up and down in small increments.  In Lion, it is impossible to move up and down in small increments.  Click on the scroll bar and it moves up or down an entire page.  When you try to put the curser on the scrollbar and move it up just a little, it moves a whole bunch.  With the up/down arrows, you can click on the arrow and it will scroll ulp or down one line a time.  There is no way to do this in Lion. Why would apple remove the very useful feature of up and down arrows.

    Yes, agreed a missing element.
    Did you try using the up / down arrows on the key board.

  • Why O Why did Apple removed the sidebar colors?

    Why O Why did Apple removed the sidebar colors in the new Aperture update? I used those colors to organize my workflow.
    Everything is Greyscale now. Isn't Photography all about colors? If I wanted a greyscale user interface I would have bought a PC ...

    It's the new design since Lion - Iphoto already has gone gray before Aperture See these links:
    Re: After updating to Aperture 3.3 all my icons appears in Black and white. This includes the inspect button, photo stream button, the Facebook / flicker share button. Could you please help here ?

    Re: Have today loaded the 3.3 up date on Aperture. After the up date the colour of the Menu Bar and all icons showing projects / albums etc are now grey. Any thoughts on how to reestablish the colours.

  • Has anyone removed the screen protector from Otterbox?

    I have the Otterbox on top of Apple's anti-glare screen protector as suggested in this forum. I'm having way too much trouble getting a response out of buttons on the edge of the screen or in the corners. I touch and touch, even press hard but no response. Even getting the phone to snap a picture is near impossible. I have no problems when I remove the Otterbox case, so I know it isn't a screen issue. I love the feel and protection afforded by the Otterbox case and would like to use it. Has anyone removed the screen protector from their case, and if you have, can you comment on the subsequent performance of it? Of note, I use the Otterbox case because I have young kids who use the phone - we don't have a landline. In other words, it's not dust protection I'm looking for, but impact protection. I hate to tear up a $50 case if it won't function anymore.

    I removed the screen protector that was part of the Otterbox case and it now works much better. Still have the Power Support anti-glare screen protector on it. Also removed the small cover over the camera lense and now my pictures are more clear. Finally, I removed the covers over the speakers and I can hear the speakerphone again. These mods made the case an A+ for me. A little less protection but much better functionality.

    You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.

  • Accidentally removed the ability to use remote desktop

    Hi,
    Thanks to anyone that can assist.
    Using SBS2011 Standard:
    Whilst remotely connected and investigating ways to allow an ordinary domain user to have login access to the server, I inadvertently removed the ability of the primary domain admin user to gain access with remote desktop. By primary domain admin
    user, I mean the default user created for administrative purposes at SBS set up/install time.
    I was able to regain remote desktop access by adding this user to the Remote Desktop Users group. However this is really a workaround rather than proper corrective action. I know that this is not necessary in a basic default setup of SBS2011 as there are
    other almost identical servers I look after where I have not needed to do this and yet still have remote desktop connection capability with "out of the box" settings.
    Also, I would really like to find out what mistake I made so that I can avoid doing this again.

    Hello Larry,
    Your suggestion of comparing ADUC across servers was one that I had already thought of and done but I did not notice any differences. Nonetheless, your post suggested to me that I ought to recheck my steps, so I revisited it and was mortified to find that
    somehow the admin user was no longer a member of Administrators. I am baffled as to how I managed to achieve this because to the best of my memory, Administrators group membership was not one of the things I looked at in connection with my intent (read on
    for my logic in this respect).
    I suspect that this might be the problem! I will attempt to rectify and return to this thread in due course.
    WRT granting a user logon rights at the server, I hear what you are saying and even said the same to myself. But let's just for the moment look at the real world rather than the ideal world. Many SBS installations are in the types of businesses that are,
    let's face it, small (after all that is what the first S in SBS stands for). Such business cannot afford qualified IT personel and as such need to designate certain trusted members of staff to carry out some of the things that, if they had any, IT personel
    would normally do. For example, swapping external USB hdd's and monitoring backup success/failure.
    Rather than allow them to logon to the server as an administrator, safer I would have thought to allow them to logon as a user. Unless you can tell me of a way that this can be done from a user logon at their client PC? My knowledge is not encyclopaedic
    so I am open to suggestions of a better way if such a way exists.
    Tricky

    Has anybody lost the ability to scroll in Mail?  Other apps scroll just fine. Mail did too, before Mavericks.

    Primary,
    I have shot tethered in 4.1 and planned to do so in 4.2. Which 5D do you have? The first one? FF but 12Megapixels? My 5D's are a Mk2 and Mk3, but only the 5DMk2 was supported in LR4.1.
    Very strange that no one has replied with a setting to check. Please write back here if you found out what happened.
