Why havent we seen an express2 yet with remmote?

Its been a long time since the express came out, and since day 1, its a bit of a half baked solution. I purchased 2 and it was great when it worked, but it started bothering me that when i wanted to change albums etc, i had to go upstairs to my office. Also, i wasnnt long into my 14th month that one of the units died!
I just dont see why apple didnt bring ou a wifi controler for the express like Sonos do. Do they really expect us to buy a macbook to control the music and carry it around the house? I want a device that I can walk around with, pick an album to play from my itunes collection on my office imac and listen to it on any of my speakers, and all of them if i want to have a party. Many other products do this like Sonos and Slimp3 etc, but Apple cant seem to get it right.
One kind of sollution would have been the AppleTv but Apple have confirmed taht you cant stream to a number of devices at once like the express and you need a tv in every room you want music, and then have a tv on when listening to music. It looks like there has to be an Express2 or new airtunes device or people are just going to go for someone else.
I dont know what to do now. I have just got my first house, and im planning how to set this thing up. I would love a Sonos that works perfectly with my itunes collection, but I cant afford a Sonos! Any ideas on what I should get?

As you probably know by reading the "Help & Terms of Use" for this discussion area, speculation on future Apple products or plans is forbidden.
Also you know from reading the "Help & Terms of Use" that we are all Mac users like yourself and have no special knowledge of Apple's decisions or future plans.

  • I create a CNiGraph control dynamically, But why havent I seen the Demo Mode Message Window?

    I am a licenced user of Mesurement Studio. I create a CNiGraph control dynamically. All work well.
    Then I copied my source code to another PC, I run "regsvr32 cwui.ocx", I found I can compile my source code on that computer, without any message box.
    But some people said that there will be a Demo Mode Message box.
    That's to say, any one can copy my source code to other computer and compile it well, then how can I protect my right?
    On what condition the Demo Mode Message Box will appear? I want it to show up when others use my code.

    It sounds like you were expecting the message box to come up at compile-time. Is that correct? If so, that is not expected and should not ever happen - the message box that you're referring to should not come up until you actually run the application. However, if you're dynamically creating the control and you are specifying the license string at creation time in your code, I expect it would still work when you take the code to another machine. Could you please reply with more information about what you're trying to do and how you expect this to work? Thanks.

  • Why havent they updated the software to work with vis

    Ive got a xfi fatality and cant install ANY of the great software which makes the card what it is.. I cant believe creative havent be on the front foot with this!
    Now my card is pretty much useless, yeah i got the drivers but so what..all those nice tweaks and stuff i cant use!! pi$$ed off

    The answer is yes it will work with every driver and audio consoleincluding and after the 2.3.000 release. The upax package is basedaround?a driver dated the 6//07 this driver has its own audio console. This driver?I believe is?without a doubt an unreleased beta. If you use laterdrivers you may find a bug when using the speaker tab in the game modeconsole but apart from than that there is nothing else I can find. The coder has worked on the 6/0/07 driver itself without a doubt to iron outbugs in the game mode probably caused by Vista incompatability, its a neat job. The THX?console has had a rework and actually looks better than the old THXconsole which always looked oddly out of place anyway. I suspect the gamemode bug could be fixed?if the 05/03/07 driver could be?reworked?by the samecoder. There is substantial?directory and file structure differences between the Creativeversion and the upac so it is not just a simple fix the guy has really done a good job. The upac works best with the 6/0/07 driver but if you can handle a small bug in thegame mode console then there is no reason not to use a later driver.

  • Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox?  New updates break complatibility?

    Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox?  New updates break complatibility?

    You already seem to know what the issue is, it is the parallax feature that was added to iOS 7.  From your rant, it appears that your attempt to work around this was not successful.  According to the Apple documents I've seen, they recommend that you enlarge your image (not reduce it).  Make your image have excess space on all sides, which is not displayed on the screen.  This way, when you tilt your device one direction or another, it can shift the image to give the appearance of 3D. 
    As a photographer, I like to use the full frame of my images, but I also know that I need to leave room around the image as well.  I have some photos I have taken that I can't use because I have them cropped too tightly too, but I have others that work just fine.  Just remember that part of the image file is "off screen" so that if iOS has to shift the image up it has some image that can scroll onto the screen.  It needs this space on all sdes, so just make youre images larger, and keep in mind that a portion on each side will be outside the normally visible screen...  If you don't like this feature, you can always go into the settigns and turn it off.

  • Why the **** when I sync my Itunes with my Iphone all is erased

    Hello epic Apple, I am an firstTime Iphone BFU user and I want to know why when I download from my Iphone any Application or music or something else via wifi or Edge my Itunes on My WinXp installed pc will erase it in a moment when a sync it? I had music on my Iphone and I havent any on my pc yet. So Itunes decided to erase it? It is ok? And why te Itunes does not allow to transfer data from pc to Iphone device? Which marketing strategy do you want to go? Buy an Iphone tranfer device or Apple Idisk? Because the breaking internet display device via Iphone dont allows you to use the internal capacity in an usefull way? I dont know what about are you thinking of.. I hope the next firmware will fix things such as copy and paste, data transfer, better mesaging support and else. Because if you want to do something better do it best! bye

  • Why Lion is working too bad? why apple don't fix it yet?

    why Lion is working too bad? why apple don't fix it yet?

    Apple is constantly working to fix bugs that occur in operating systems and other applications. Lion may have some initial bugs that needs fixing, but rest assured that Apple is working on it. And not everyone is having problems with Lion. I for one, am not.

  • HT4528 Why is it that everything is fine with my verizon account and apple is messing with my pre order of the iphone 5?

    Why is it that everything is fine with my verizon account and apple is messing with my pre order of the iphone 5 telling me that verizon is "rejecting" my order.. My verizon account is fine, and I am eligible for an upgrade, there is no past due balance.. the order went from being prepared to ship back to processing 2 days before it's supposed to get here.. still says it's going to deliver 9/21, yet it still stuck in processing mode, called apple for the past couple of days since i ordered it ON TIME and basically spoke to 17 different people telling me all different things and seems as if it just becomes more and more of a problem..

    this what most people say, track in on UPS website using your phone number. its TRUE and better tracking info

  • Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig?

    Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig?  IPConfig /flushdns doesn't help at all.  Until they fix it I will be previewing and buying my songs thru Amazon.

    Doublechecking ... do you still get that if you update to iTunes 10.6.3.25 (just released today)?

  • Why do the new earphones not work with 1st Generation iPod touch?

    Does the 1st generation iPod touch not "recognise" [recognize if you are American] these functions? I am talking about the microphone and the button on the new earphones.

    Then why don't apple make ear phones with microphone which the 1st gen itouch will recognised...
    Because the Touch is primarily a music player, that is what I purchased and I'm quite satisfied with it as it is.
    I'm so fed up of the way Apple Market...
    What are their plans for their consumers... to
    to keep buying new Ipods?!?!?!
    Err...Yes! Welcome to the real world.
    3G Iphone was released shortly after the Iphone...
    why couldnt they make us wait longer...and get the 3G
    You still don't understand this commercial world do you?
    same with Ipod Touch... yes i Understand new Gen ipods...would have better features...
    Let's all wait a hundred years when they bring out the the brain implants...
    But hey wats up with making us fall with Apple...we like the designs, the features...but why then bring in new ones that apple know will not let our old ipods adapt to it.
    You like the design, you buy it, enjoy what you have and don't get so jealous.
    Sick of Apple... they do it on purpose... I guarantee...
    No way?!
    the new Iphone to realease next year....would be Iphone 8.0 mega pixels camera video recording....either way...they would make their customers regret for buying their old Iphones and Ipods...
    If so, then I might buy one, but then I wouldn't moan if a better one was released six months later.
    4 now, do something about the new ear head phones....cos apart of app store and applications...we want to be ablt to use microphones...to communicate on social networking...and voice memos...
    This maybe because the hardware is simply incompatible, they cannot cover every eventuality, had they done so the Touch would have been more expensive and I would not have bought one.
    Technology moves on, fact. I you don't feel Apple are playing fair then just avoid their products, that'll learn 'em.
    By the way, if you want Apple to hear your thoughts go here - [Feedback|http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html]
    They do not officially monitor this board.

    You may be able to drag and drop the icons from one toolbar onto another, you can then hide the toolbar that you no longer need. For details on how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

  • Why Model MD297AE/A is not working with Fcae time and Model MD293C/A is working in UAE with Facetime

    Why Model MD297AE/A is not working with Fcae time and Model MD293C/A is working in UAE with Facetime.
    In fact I have given my iPhone to my daughter to use in Canada (purchased from UAE ISP) she is unable to use Face Time within Canada. ?
    Is it possibile to activate FaceTime in Canada if iPhone is purchase from UAE.
    Purchase under Points by ISP (No contract)
    Thanks
    Abbas

    Hello sir
           I agree what u replied for the above question, but because of the UAE request, you cannot deactivate the facetime completely from this iphone, they should stop working through SIM network. The iphone is a universal mobile which can travel all over the world, many tourist people will suffer due to that, pls re-consider in taking back and try to make it upgrading this software.
    Thanks

  • My Hard drive crashed on my PC just after I bought my new iphone 4s, which I hadnt sinked yet with my itunes account!!

    My Hard drive crashed on my PC just after I bought my new iphone 4s, which I hadnt sinked yet with my itunes account. I had many photos of my kids backed up on icloud which is all I care about retrieving! Is there ANY way to retrieve those pictures? I have read through countless blogs and forums relating to my problem and it doesnt seem as though anybody has had the same problem. I performed a back up of my icloud just before selling my last Iphone. I bought a new Iphone, and before I got the chance to sinc it to my itunes/icloud account, my hard drive crashed (yes I am sure it was my hard drive). So now I have a new computer and have absolutely no idea how to retrieve any of it or if retrieval is even possible. Any help you can provide to me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
