Why is the Apple Weather App wrong for low temps in Albuquerque, NM?
Low temp is always displays about 10 degrees too low.

The reason for the problematic weather prediction in Apple is simple and disturbing at the same time.
1. Traditionally Apple gets its weather data from Yahoo! they do so regardless to the fact that Yahoo is not a weather company, this arrangement has historical reasons (and it has nothing to do with the accuracy or quality of service you as a user are getting from Apple weather).
2. Yahoo! (not a weather company) gets its weather data from the Weather Channel.
3. Weather Channel CEO (David Kenny) also serves as Yahoo board member. So good luck changing the Weather Channel Yahoo agreement.
4. The iPhone build in weather app is one of the world most popular apps, The Weather Channel has no incentive to make the Apple weather app as accurate as The Weather Channel own app.
The result is – easy to use inaccurate weather app

Why is the Apple Weather app always incorrect?

For instance. Today, Huntington Beach, CA, it says the high should be 75 degrees but its currently 82 degrees.
It's typically 5-10 degrees off, every day. Beings that it is a mandatory app that is taking up my hard drive space, it would be nice if it was actually accurate. Very annoying. Yes, I know that there are other Weather applications that work better, but why would I want to take up more of my valuable hard drive space??

Why is the Apple Store app only available to US residents only?

I live in Canada, why is the Apple Store app only available to US residents only?

Because this is what Apple decided to do.
We have no way of knowing why Apple makes the decisions that they do and speculating is a violation of the terms of use of this forum.

Why is the Apple Store App not optimized for iPhone 5?

You would think that the Apple Store app would be optimized for iPhone 5 4inch screen? Isn't this an APPLE PRODUCT. Come on let's get an update!!

You're not addressing Apple here, and any attempt to do so makes you look foolish. We're users here, just like you.

Why will the Apple music app on my iPad not play certain songs???

Hi,
Suddenly I noticed that certain songs, that will play without problem within iTunes on my PC, and with no problem on my iPhone 4S, will NOT play at all on my iPad (MB293KS) running iOS 5.1.1...
I have reset the iPad and then downloaded everything again, but the problem is till there. The songs that will not play are AAC-files and sampled in 44,100 kHz, 256 kbit.
If I use a third party player on the same iPad, like Bongiovi DPS, the songs play all right!!! So it seems that something is really wrong with the Apple Music App on this particular iPad??? What can I do about this? Are there any other music player I should concider as replacements for the Apple Music App? (Besides the Bongioivi, that is...).
Thanks!

I have now updated to the new iOS 6.1, but still this problem persists! How is it even possible to be able to play the songs in iTunes, on my PC, and on the specified iPad, using for example the Bongioivi app, but NOT when I use Apple's built in Music app?
So before the 5.1 upgrade, the songs were playing all right. But AFTER this upgrade, and still after the 6.1, they won't play???

Why doesn't my iPad have the apple weather app and how do I get it from app store ?

Cannot believe that apple would release a product without loading the standard apps that are preloaded on my iPhone. How do I get them fron apple? Why can't apple put them on app store so I can download them ? Don't want to jailbreak devie to get these apps

There are plenty free weather apps in the App Store.

Why are all the apple based Apps free for my cousin

Me and my cousin both have Apple iPad minis and for some reason all his apple based apps like iMovie Keynote and iPhoto are all free and I have to purchase them and have already purchased iMovie fro $10:49

The apps are free to anyone that bought a new apple device since Sept 2013.

Why do the Apple default apps have so many issues?

With my upgrade from my trusty but dying iPhone 4s to a shiny new iPhone 6, the additional screen real estate makes me want to do a whole lot more. Things that I would previously never have dreamed of doing now approach the realm of the possible. With that, the limitations of Apple’s own apps also come to light. What follows is a wish list of sorts, stuff that I wish Apple would “get right” so that I don’t need to find separate workarounds.
Music
Synchronization. As my music collection grew, sync issues and weird behavior went from being a once-in-a-product-lifetime anomaly to a regular occurrence. Sometimes, a significant portion of my music collection is missing on my iPhone. Other times, the album art is only partially there. Yet other times, I search for an album by name and see only a subset of tracks but then search by artist and all the tracks are there. Or the playlist label is there but some or all of the songs aren’t listed. It’s all perfect in iTunes, but not on my phone. I have disabled sync’ing over WiFi and now do so only over a wired connection to my iMac. I have changed USB ports. I have changed Lightning cables. Nothing seems to work.
Search. The app always displays search results in the same way, regardless of which context I’m in. So irrespective of whether I’m in the Artists view or the Album view, results are displayed first by Artist, then by Album, then by Song. If I’m in the Album view, I want it by Album first! If I’m in the Playlists view, I want to search the titles of my playlists. Simple things.
Alphabetical Search. From A, I scroll, scroll, scroll, and then it does P to # just beautifully. What happened to B to O?
Genres view. This is a mess. The same genre shows up multiple times and, inexplicably, under different letters of the alphabet. Did this even go through QA?
Notes
Groups. I can only add a new group via my iMac’s desktop app (and possibly through a browser via iCloud.com, though I haven’t tried that). Why is this not possible in the iOS app?
Synchronization. I have a whole bunch of notes in my iMac’s Notes app that do not show up on my iPhone. They did once, and then poof, gone. They’re all visible on iCloud.com, though for some reason the embedded photos are not. This lack of reliability forces me to use Evernote, which really shouldn’t be necessary. Sync should just work.
Contacts
Groups. I want to be able to create, edit and delete groups in the iOS app. I want to be able to add a new contact to a group without first having to Hide All Contacts, select the group I want, create an entry, flip over to Messages, then finally add the contact’s number from there to the new entry. Why is this so painful?
Related Names. I love this, but why isn’t it smart? For example, if I add someone’s husband who is already listed in my contacts, then why doesn’t the wife automatically show up in the entry of that husband?
Calendar
Show All Notes. This does not, in fact, show all notes. It seems to cut off after a certain number of characters. If someone sets up a meeting invite in Outlook and there are oodles of intro text in the calendar entry’s body before the dial-in details are listed, then I cannot get to those details from my iPhone. I have to boot up my laptop and fire up Outlook, by which point I have missed half the meeting.
Inbox. Some stuff from Outlook/Exchange shows up here. Other stuff does not. If I take an action such as to accept or to decline a meeting, this doesn’t clean up the invite from my Mail Inbox as it would in Outlook. Frustrating.
No doubt, I have forgotten to list a few things. Apple, I know you pride yourself in the integration of hardware and software. Why, then, are the basics missing? Please get them sorted.

Why or how can I download the Apple Store App for my windows 8 mobil phone

I want to download the app for apple store to my windows phone, I find it really confusing that my computer which supports windows 7 home premium can download apple store app and my phone with the newer windows software cannot, why and it not why not make sure that it is known before people upgrade or change to the newer phone

You can't. The Apple Store app is for iOS devices and is not available for Windows Phone, nor can any other iOS app run on your Windows Phone. You'll have to use whatever web browser your phone provides if you want to shop the Apple Store. And no, there is no Apple Store app for Windows on a computer either. Perhaps you're thinking of iTunes and the iTunes Store?
Regards.

Apple Weather app temps way wrong

In Melbourne the apple weather app is often quite a few degrees off. The Yahoo! link takes me to weather.com which shows quite a discrepancy with Yahoo!'s own weather reading. Yahoo! is in line with the local Bureau of Meteorology. Today the temp is out by 5*C or 9*F.
Have contacted weather.com, Yahoo! Weather, but don't expect any resolution. Tricky when there are so many parties involved. Might have to mail sjobs. Though think pointless.
See image of discrepancy. Very frustrating.... Obviously a little too much time on my hands...

The reason for the problematic weather prediction in Apple is simple and disturbing at the same time.
1. Traditionally Apple gets its weather data from Yahoo! they do so regardless to the fact that Yahoo is not a weather company, this arrangement has historical reasons (and it has nothing to do with the accuracy or quality of service you as a user are getting from Apple weather).
2. Yahoo! (not a weather company) gets its weather data from the Weather Channel.

Apple weather app display won't flip for additional info

Why does my apple weather app not flip to display the additional weather info like humidity and feels like temperature? I have iOS 8.1 and iPhone 6. It stopped working correctly when I had an iPhone 5 and the "fault" transferred when I upgraded. I'be tried to restart the app, restart the phone, and heck, I even got a new phone but the fault followed? It really annoys me that it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Here's snapshot from my iPhone 6, notice the the screen is swipe up?

I can't connect to my iTunes library on my Macbook Pro using the Apple Remote app on my iPhone 4S. Why?

Hi all,
I've been looking through the forums for help with this problem. There are a couple of threads with similar problems, but no solved threads and the discussion doesn't seem to go anywhere... As far as I can tell, it's been causing a lot of annoyance for many users, including myself, but it looks like the community's in the dark about why it's happening!
I'm trying to connect to my iTunes library using the Apple Remote app on my new iPhone 4S. As you may know, there are two ways to do this:
Connect via Home Sharing by setting up Home Sharing on both iTunes and the iPhone, or
Connecting directly to iTunes using a four digit passcode.
I've tried both methods, and neither work!
Here's what happens for each method:
From the Remote app start screen, I tap the "Turn on Home Sharing" button. I enter my Apple ID details (which are definitely correct), and get a confirmation message on my phone saying "Home Sharing is on using [my email address]. To control iTunes: Choose Turn On Home Sharing from the Advanced menu in iTunes on your computer." I then go to iTunes, turn on Home Sharing, enter my Apple ID again and get a confirmation message saying "Home Sharing is now on", etc. However, there's no connection formed between my iPhone and my Macbook Pro - the Remote app just shows a message saying "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account [my email address].
From the Remote app start screen, I tap "Add an iTunes Library", and the four digit passcode is shown on my phone. I select the new "Quintin's iPhone" item that appears in the iTunes sidebar under "Devices", and enter the passcode on the screen that appears. Once I've entered it, I get a confirmation message saying "Your Remote is now able to control iTunes" with an "Okay" button. Clicking the "Okay" button makes the screen and the sidebar item disappear completely. On my phone, a message that says "Looking for ..." is shown on the screen with a spinning loading wheel, but nothing happens. After a minute or two, it stops and simply says "Could not find".
After trying both methods, I went through all of the troubleshooting steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1741 . Absolutely no effect.
I should mention that I was experiencing similar problems on my old iPhone 3Gs with an older version of iTunes. I thought it might have been some kind of hardware fault and expected it to clear up once I got the new phone, but the problem is still there. It's a new phone, a new computer, a newer version an iTunes... even a different network I'm trying to connect to it on. Bizarre!
I've even tried using the Mobile Air Mouse remote application instead. However again, the Mobile Air Mouse app on my phone can't pick up the Mobile Air Mouse server on my Mac.
I'm kind of at the end of my rope here. Anyone?

I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

I have ad Apple ID on my iPad , when I use the apple on my iPhone for the first time, I put in my Apple ID for the iPad, didn't work. Need to create a new one. Why? How can I just use my iPad ID on my iPhone?

Hi kamfong,
Went to Settings where?
If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
1. Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
2. Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?
Cheers,

Why is the apple app store popping up NSURLErrorDomain error -1100

why is the apple app store popping up NSURLErrorDomain error -1100

Largely due to an overloaded server. Keep trying, every two hours or so. I suppose it's all down to when Apple staff turn up for work. Be patient
I have read that it is pretty much restricted to Mountain Lion.
Hope this helps.
