Why isn't apple fixing anything -

security doesn't store your settings - safari does the same thing, if you set your home page it always goes elsewhere ! I've been through every setting there is for this operating system. What really ****** me off is that you can't get your money back.

Last reply. This is not a place for flaming.
If my syntax or punctuation was bad, sorry; I meant to point out a couple of examples of current, familiar software creations that evolve rapidly and work fresh-out-of-the-box even when there are major version changes.
Then, I suggested that Apple's "quality control" folks might be paying more attention to making sure that iOS is bug-free and app-integrated than they are to insuring that OS X runs without tripping. That's a good decision on Apple's part, by the way; Apple's profits -- the ones that make the evolution (and survival!) of the Mac and OS X possible -- come from the iPhone / iPad / iPod world and not from Mac sales. Maybe, someday, Mac will have a large market share, again -- but not yet, not now, and it will require time, dollars and Jobs.
Anyway, I'll put up with some temporary wobbling from an evolving OS X in return for near-perfect iPhones and iPads and those big cash reserves that they bring to Apple, because the Mac will benefit. I know what I like; I know which computer system makes me smile while I work and supports me in producing better results faster, and its name starts with an "M," but doesn't continue "icrosoft." And if my writing doesn't please ya, well, golly, your 2,165 points indicates clearly that you contribute a lot more around here than I do.

Ios 7 bugs and why isn't Apple fixing them?

I am getting really annoyed by some of the glaring bugs ever since ios 7's release, and the fact Apple has released a few updates yet still won't fix some of these bugs......Just some of the bugs I've easily noted:
1. When composing text messages, after you hit send, your message won't appear in the chat windows sometimes until you pull down and release the screen.
2. Spell check will red underline a word, but if you keep typing, the red underline will dissapear so you can't go back and review possible mispelled words.
3. Prior to ios 7, I used to easily be able to copy/paste pictures from the web into a chat window, and the pictures would resize themselves to fit and look properly......now the pictures are usually too large to even tell what they were, or sometimes when you try to do a copy/paste on a picture, it will just copy the URL link and not the picture itself.
These bugs are really annoying, and I'm just really baffled why Apple hasn't fixed this stuff yet!

Yeah, mine is working fine, too, an iPhone 4s with 7.0.4. Sounds like your update did not go well, don't you hate that? I do. And I know it's a hassle but I'd do a restore to factory settings and let it update again to 7.0.4. That will probably fix things nicely. I wasn't keen on updating at all but when Apple stole 3GB of space on both my phone and iPad with an unwanted pushed update file, I eventually gave in and updated them - I at least waited until 7.0.4. Anyway, 7 seems pretty decent and it works well enough.
Before I updated mine, I removed all added apps and other data so it started with a very empty phone. Then after the OS update I re-synced everything back to the phone. Also, I did the update using iTunes and not the pushed update file. It way my only way of rebelling! lol
Do the restore and you should be good to go.

TS1398 Got the dreaded no wifi on my wife's iPhone 4S. Wifi greyed out and no luck with the reset network instructions. Why isn't Apple addressing this issue? We are a family of Apple product users, 2 ipads, an ipad mini, 4 iPhones but one isn't working!

Come on Apple.....get this issue sorted out!

Just out of warranty. This is a software issue. everything was ok until the software update. Apple just need to sort it out.

Why is itunes so hard to use - and why can't apple fix it?

why is itunes so hard to use - and why can't apple fix it
I dont know anybody who likes the way itunes works.'
This last version is beyond awful. It took an already hard to use program - but one that I had at least figured out and made it even harder.

Wendy,
If you are experiencing a particular problem, please post specifics, and most likely someone here will be able to help.

Why isn't Apple selling the 2GB iPod Shuffles?

???
I had a 1GB one (it's a bit old now) and it finally started breaking down (it will randomly shut off during the middle of a song and then turn back on)
I don't want to buy the new one, and I would prefer a 2GB over the 1GB, but why isn't Apple selling it on their website?
(Hope this was the right place to ask this. I checked the other categories before coming here)

They're still selling refurbished 2GB shuffles in pink, green and blue...

Hi godavina,
Need a little more info here. You are trying to switch back into the British store? Are you living there now? If not, can you tell us where you are and what you are trying to do?
Thanks,

Why won't Apple fix this problem of iTunes Cutting off songs?

I've owned seven different ipods and three iPhones. On EVERY ONE OF THEM iTunes cuts off many songs after two or three seconds of playing. We're talking here about songs either uploaded from commercially purchased DVDs or the iTunes store. I have no bootleg music, I don't customize anything related to iTunes. I just buy music and download it into iTunes from MacBook Pro laptops that are similarly as standard as one can get. Yet when I listen to the albums of songs I've just purchased, random songs play for two seconds and then change to another song. When I've researched this issue across the Web I've found detailed complaints going back as early as 2004 and I can't believe that EVERY Apple iTunes system and device I've purchased over many years has behaved in this exact manner. What are these "Apple Support Communities" FOR is Apple fails to either correct the problems they report or, worse, even acknowledge problems that are documented by thousands of users of a wide variety of iTunes related products? I don't want to have to use a work-around or a reload or some of the other Rube Goldberg-like solutions others have suggested in these and other forums. I'm spending thousands of dollars on Apple equipment and software and I simply want the Apple iTunes devices and music that I buy to WORK AS ADVERTISED, which they don't. I just want my music to play as it is supposed to play. Why can't Apple make that happen?

That's happing to me, any solution ?

Birthdays in iCal, Address Book, iPhone. Why isn't Apple listening?

I have seen this complaint over and over again. I have sent countless feedback emails. Why is it that Apple just doesn't care about these VERY BASIC things? Their attention to detail is amazing, yet they choose to ignore things that scream incompetence....
Why is it that I can sync birthdays from my Address Book in to iCal. (Awesome feature by the way) Yet I cannot set a reminder of any kind. Does Apple just think this isn't important to people? Do they just not care? I run into these types of problems with almost every application they have. There will be those one or two little things in each that begs the questions: What are they thinking? How could they have missed this? Why aren't they listening to people? Another upgrade I paid for, and it's still not fixed?
Are any of you feeling this frustration?

That's great, thanks! Worked like a charm, and all my birthdays now have a reminder. Even tells me their age...
Frustrates me that I have to pay $6, when it should already have this functionality. However, it's otherwise a useless feature, unless I am reminded of the birthdays, so I'll pay the $6. It's more important to me to know when these birthdays occur.

Why won't Apple fix the wifi connectivity problem with the iMac and new OS instead of just havin us go through hours of useless mock fixes!

I have spent hours with apple care about this problem with wifi connectivity. According to all the posts I'm not alone. I love my new IMAC
but i'll be glad to go back to my PC just so I can get my email without all the headaches. It seems that Apple has lost interest in
the IMAC and all of the problems associated with the new OS.

Keep in mind that ASC is where people go to get help, so yes, you are seeing reports of people who are having WiFi connection issues. But while it might seem like there are lots of people having trouble, given the sheer number of iMacs in use, it is a very small number. Also keep in mind that WiFi isn't totally under Apple's control. There are dozens of WiFi routers. Even worse, the manufacturers of WiFi routers often release firmware upgrades to fix flaws without ever informing the consumer. And just to add to the confusion, while WiFi 801.2 n routers have been sold for several years, for most of that time there was no agreed upon standard!
So if you'd like help, first, what router do you have and have you checked the vendor site to see that it has the latest firmware?

Why isn't Apple adding new episodes?

There was a new episode of Disorderly Conduct - Video On Patrol, that aired several days ago (on February 20th). Apple still doesn't have it on the store yet. Why would this happen? The episode before that, the one from 2/13, Apple added right away. Have they lost the rights to this show or something? If so, then why do they have the already-aired episodes? If not, why aren't they adding the new one? I am beginning to feel ripped off, paying good money for that Season Pass and then Apple doesn't have the episodes? :confused:

Episodes are provided by the show's owners. If they don't provide an episode, or deliver a bad copy that needs to be replaced, all the iTunes Store can do is wait, which is all we can do as well. Amazon doesn't have it yet either, so I'm guessing that Viacom is behind in providing the episode.

Why isn't Apple acknowledging HUGE delays downloading iTunes Plus tracks?

After dozens of posts regarding these problems, still not a word from Apple, here on on the iTunes site.
And of course no fix yet.

Apple is making a bad situation worse by neither limiting demand (sales side) nor increasing supply (more servers).
First and foremost, They just cannot shut down and limit purchases, it doesn't work good of a solution. They just can't get more servers either. You don't just buy a server and hop that it solves the problem seconds after you hook it up.
And it's not a line, with first to buy being first to get downloads -- it's a mob scene as more and more people are trying to download.
A mob scene entering a pipe, thats restricted by bandwidth.
Based on my experience, I think things are getting worse -- of the 32 tracks I purchased, I got 4 in the first 24 hours and have gotten none since.
Plus tracks have only been available for less than 2 days. There are millions of iTunes customers and many of them are using a service that was highly anticipated and demanded. Its like Christmas's with people getting new ipods.
This was my first transaction with the iTunes Store, and I must say I am horrified by how poorly Apple is handling this situation. Do you complain when Best Buy or other retailers are mobbed with people after thanksgiving and after Christmas???

Why isn't apple support calling me?

I scheduled a phone call with apple support for 9:30 am. I got a phone call at 9:33, with a recorded voice asking me to press 1 to speak to a support person. I pressed 1 and waited on the line. After many minutes of complete silence on the line from Apple, my call was disconnected.
I scheduled another phone call with apple support for 9:45 am. It's now 10:13 and no one has called me!
Hello????

We are not Apple, only your fellow end-users. Anything someone posts here about Apple's support workload and scheduling would be pure speculation.

HT201336 Why isn't Apple time-stamping these updates?

Time-stamping during code signing ensures that the signed files are still verifiable after certificate expiration.
Apple is doing this with software distributed for Windows (e.g., QuickTime, iTunes, etc.), so why not for updates for the Mac OS?
Of course, for its Windows software, Apple seems to be using a code-signing certificate issued by Verisign.
This is a really lame problem to have that can be avoided entirely by following basic best practices for code-signing.

To clarify. IANA is a part of ICAN which has the TZ Atlas. That last update was in November 2011, which did include the Samoan time change. The problem is that Apple has not incorporated that update into their regular system updates, which is the foundation of this question and the problem that most users will have. I don't mind accessing the database myself, but it should not be the responsibility of the user to do so. Wouldn' t you agree?

Why isn't Apple publicizing its ownership of CUPS?

Hello. I am well aware that Apple now owns Common Unix Printing System. I'd like to know why Apple hasn't put any of that information up on apple.com (you have to get that info from CUPS' maker, now an Apple employee)? Thanks.

What would this gain them?
Most users have no idea of what's involved in interfacing printers with computers. Even fewer have any idea what CUPS stands for.
People just expect printers to work out of the box. It's sometimes hard getting them to install a printer driver. The fact that CUPS does much of the hard work for you just brings the reality closer to the user's preconceived expectations. They don't know or care whether the technology behind it is open source, built by Apple or bought in.
