Why have Apple iCloud a solution that causes more problems than it solves?
Dear All,
Steve Jobs once said that the launch of MobileMe wasn't Apple's Finest Hour" I have a sinking feeling that with the captain absent the ship has begun to drift off course. Why has iDisk been dropped, why has Syncing accross your macs been discontinued, why has there been so much talk about icloud when all it really has done is added Music and Photo syncing (thanks for solving that problem) and dropped all of the other useful features...... having to use a combination of Flickr, Dropbox and Youtube seems ridiculous given the solution was already there..... why not apply some apple brain cells to those services and make them work correctly and keep them.... all of the other 3rd party apps have proved extreemly popular, why not open up these services and make them viable as apple services, icloud has been one step forward and three steps back......not to mention the less than seamless transition from one to the other, lost calendars etc etc.
A very dissapointed, teatering Apple Fanatic.

So you're one of those people who looks at the world and wonders "Why"
So we are in agreement then that syncing is less complete in terms of the services you've listed than before.
You're wrong about the last point; I did follow the instructions and made my backups (luckily) then iCloud decided to delete 2 of my calendars after I did the migration..... Nothing is impossible; don't be naive.
Let me ask you a question: If you sat down with a blank canvas, is this what you would have created as a solution for Apple?
I am very disappointed with what it is and more importantly what is could have been and isn't.

Update 7.3.1 causing more problems than solutions?
I'm not sure what the new update was meant to do but once I updated to 7.3.1, my transfer rate lowered drastically
I used to have 4-6 MB/s originally before the update
But on the same day, once I updated it and nothing else changed, it lowered to less than 1 MB/s
Can someone tell me what's so great about the update and if I could downgrade this machine?Change your wireless channel, 9 or 3 are usually good. What kind of internet do you have, you may need it in bridged mode. Your issue is issolated to your network if you had two of them with issues because mine works fine and so do about 990,000 more. Hard reset the base station, use WPA2 encryption, channel 9, and disable both SNMP and configuration over WAN. All of these settings can be easily found within Manual setup if you play around a little... or just call AppleCare, the mac genious's are there to help to. See if it has the same problem in a different environment, I'd bet it has something to do with your settings, possibly a double nat.

Don't get the iOS 4 upgrade, it causes more problems than it is worth.
-5 minutes ago I was on facebook and my friend called me. I answered the call and then about 15 seconds into the conversation the call crashed and it brought me back to facebook, and the phone marked it as a missed call in the log as if it never occured.
-I tried to go to my texts and the layout of the text interface loaded but the texts did not, ended up having to restart. It still takes almost 5 seconds to load them.
-Tried to play TD Zero and the App just kept crashing. Had to restart. This has never happened before with this app.
-Going between different email accounts lags so bad now it's not even worth the time it takes to use it.
-Pushing home button lags alot, as does going between App menus
-Phone froze while I was on Safari just now, tried to press home button and lock the phone, took about 30 seconds for it to "catch up" with itself. Ended up having to do a hard reset.
This all really does make me want to upgrade to iPhone 4, so I guess Apple accomplished their mission..

My iphone is not working anymore, I cannot see anything i once had on it after uodating it via itune when connecting it to my laptop.
If I had known, i would never have downloaded the update.
You guys are causing more problem than help.
Guess its time for me to go and buy samsung. You guys are making your product more difficult to use and causing more harm than good. How can I get back all my data now?If you are so unhappy, leave. No one here cares.
There are no Apple employees here, we are all users like yourself.
Now if you would like to drop the attitude and clearly explain the issue that is occurring, we will do our best to help get the device functional again. -
Why wont apple accept the fact that 4.0 is for iphone 4 and not for 3gs?
Having all those problems said with 3g/s running on iOS 4.X why wont they let us just downgrade back to 3.1.3 officially until they find a way on how to solve issues with 3g/s?
About the downgrade method of life hacker, if you're really not good in those things you might actually ruin your pc like my friend who tried it, she lost her wifi on her notebook, i had to help her find the installer of the driver again. this happened after she tried to install that libusb that is needed to run the application for exit recovery mode and other stuff.
Yes iOS 4.1 is out but contacts disappearing? And who knows what more problems it brings. I was even peeking around the iphone 4 forums it seems that they are not doing well either.
Anyway mine is all fine except that im afraid to use wifi or any apps that needs internet connection because everytime i do, my 3gs gets very very hot. I have already done the basic solution suggested by apple (factory reset, start from new iphone) but its still the same.
And another thing, the multitasking is getting annoying, you have to manually close all apps in the 'multitasking background' everytime you decide to quit an app. I guess they should put a 'Disable multitasking' or something like that.Firenzo wrote:

Because it works beautifully in the 3GS, with better battery life, faster operation and some great new features.

If you are having problems it is NOT from 4.0; there is something else wrong with your phone. There are plenty of troubleshooting tips in the forum if you look.

NO YOU DO NOT. Those apps in the ribbon are not multitasking, they are suspended. You can ignore them and they won't hurt battery life or memory, unless they are streaming apps like Pandora.
It's amazing. For 3 years people screamed about the fact that the iPhone didn't support multitasking. Now they scream because the phone DOES multitasking. You can't win. -
I have an icloud email account that was set up by my spouse and I am trying to get rid of everything with him on it due to the nature of the split and want to make sure he can never access the childrens and my photots, music, etc.
In this I wanted to change the email address in icloud so that I no longer get his emails from his contacts, friends, etc. I made an alias but is there anyway to delete this icloud email address and use another or will this delete all of our data?
New at this icloud and its real cool but afraid to lose all my information.
Help!Welcome to the Apple Community.
Deleting the account from the phone will do only that! it won't affect any other information on any other device. -
AirPrint,,,, WHy? Why have apple robbed us yet again, AirPrint, is useless, or buy another printer that apple have gained massive revenue from, the iPads are great but very high priced, and then you have to buy another high priced printer with high priced inks, I use a wifi Kodak, why should I buy another.
You have to mess about with other apps and then have your other computer on, what's all that about Apple. Why have they ruined a really good thing.
I cannot get my printer to work, and might just sell this stupid gadget, I am so annoyed at apple playing god with things, if you want it to work you have to jailbreak it, and the up pos Apple again, if you break it we will not repair it, that tells you exactly that they are playing god, wake up apple and smell the coffee.I have a Kodak wifi printer and print using the app Print Magic. I do not need to have any of my home computers on to do this as they have nothing to do with wifi printing from my iOS devices (if you do not have a wifi printer and are sharing the printer off another computer, then of course, that computer needs to be on and connected to your wifi network).
You can post with all the hyperbole you want, but none of us have any inside information as to why Apple's devices and iOS do certain things a certain way, or why they do not do things in the particular specific way you wish them to. Airprint does not work with Kodak printers at this time. There are numerous apps that will allow you to print to just about any wifi printer. -
Why does Apple charge for Apps that are FREE? That's my concern.
Why does Apple charge for Apps that are FREE? That's my concern.
Free means Free....
As both Johnathan and Demo have indicated, if it says Free there is no charge associated with it. If you upgrade to a "Pro" version, or if you do in-app purchases, then it is no longer free....but when you initially install the app, you do not pay anything if it says "Free".
And "Yeah? I'll show you" does not help us to understand what you are talking about. If you want help, then provide specifics and we will help you to figure out your misunderstanding.
Cheers,

I Can no longer synch my iPhone and iPad to Outlook using iTunes on a Win 7 Pc. I updated to iTunes 11.1.4.62 a few days ago. Don't know if that caused my problem. I've reset the Synch History, deleted any Notes in Outlook that don't have a subject. Grateful for any help.
You might have better luck in the iTunes for Windows community. I'll ask the hosts to relocate your post.

I recently upgraded from OS 10.5 on a PowerMac G5 to an early Intel Mac Pro running 10.7.5. To my consternation, I now find that my scroll wheel operates backwards from what I'm used to. Did Apple make a change that caused that? Is there any way around this?
Apple didn't make this easy, did they! When Lion first came out, I think that check box was under the Trackpad heading of the System Preferences, whether you actually had a trackpad or not. I take it there's nothing there, either?
I plugged a plain ol' three button Logitech mouse into the iMac, and while the Mouse panel options did change some, the same check box for Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling or navigating was there. -

Why have apple not launced new airport express 802.11ac version
Why have apple not launced new airport express 802.11ac version, when recently launching new Airport Extreme Base Station and new Airport Time Capsule 802.11ac versions?
Do you think they will launch one soon as wanting to extend my WI-FI network but don't want to purchase current Airport Express 802.11n version if a new model is due to be on sale in the near future as would prefer latest models/technology.
Please advise
Regards
DaveWhy have apple not launced new airport express 802.11ac version, when recently launching new Airport Extreme Base Station and new Airport Time Capsule 802.11ac versions?
Do you think they will launch one soon ......
Sorry, but no one here on a user-to-user support forum will be able to tell you what a notoriously secretive company like Apple will do or when they might do it. We are all users.....just like you.
You would need to ask Apple about this, although I would be very surprised if you get an answer with any real information.
