Why no mouse support in iOS 5?

Are they serious about enterprise or not?  Without mouse support the idea of enterprise applications for the iPad is kind of a joke.  It's easy enough to get it from a jailbroken iPad so I struggle to see the reasoning here.

I did do that already, just thought I'd ask the question...
As you can see from the "More Like This" list on the right, the question has been asked several times before.  So an answer would be found in one of those threads.  You may not like the answer, but it is what it is.
...If this is indeed the post-pc era, we should probably be able to use a mouse with our device. 
As Dave is suggesting, you can tell Apple what you think a post-PC era device should do.  Perhaps the post-PC era is not supposed to have mice.    (In fact, the original PCs didn't have mice.  So perhaps someone realized that mice were a mistake and is now "correcting" that with the iPad. )

    Why iphone 3g has no support for ios 5 + ..please allow us to download..
    Please do anyhow. .anything ...you are the creater of apple.. I know you can do it. .please do anything that iphone 3g will support ios 5 ro greater than that..

    The 3G was discontinued over 2yrs ago.
    The 3GS was only discontinued about a month ago.
    Apple made the decision that the 3G would not get anything newer than 4.2.1 because of reasons only they know.
    Griping about it is pointless.
    Speculating about why is against the terms of use of these forums.
    The device is ancient... either accept that it will never get an update and live with it or buy something newer.

  • Why isn't the first generation iPad not supported by iOS 6?

    I am totally confused. Why isn't the first iPad supported in iOS 6?
    iPad 1: Apple A4 1GHz processor and 256 mb RAM
    iPod Touch 3G: 800 MHz processor (same as iPhone 3GS) and 256 mb RAM
    iPhone 3GS: 800 MHz processor (underclocked to 600 i believe)

    3GS is still sold officially and new. iPad first generation isn't. Android is even worse about things like this.
    PLEASE don't branch this into twenty different threads, and keep it in the two that already exist.

  • Why does Apple Bluetooth for iOS not support SPP profile?

    I am curious why this really useful protocol is not supported by iOS.
    Thanks for any information.
    What I would do with it: develop software to support my favorite OBD-II interface hardware, PLX Devices Kiwi Bluetooth.

    KT,
    Thanks for your reply.
    There are some iOS apps that support OBD-II, generally by a specific manufacturer for their hardware. Much of this hardware is "not very good". PLX is a unique company with great hardware, I already own a Kiwi BT ($$) and do not want to buiy lesser junk just so I can buy the single-source software that comes with it. PLX provides an open interface architecture that happens to be SPP Bluetooth. There is a lot of great software for it from different angles...all Android. I used to have an android phone when I bought the Kiwi. The Kiwi Wifi is supported by Apple, I will buy that if I have to get more hardware... but not happily. Apple has restricted SPP from the "bubble", I just want to know why?
    Regards,
    Jack

  • Why the mouse pointer in Logic Pro does not change shape during work in OSX 10.9.1?

    I've a MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch Late 2013 and I'm using two external displays. One connected to to the HDMI port (display 1) the other to thunderbolt (display 2). The MacBook display is closed. I’m working with Logic Pro 9.1.8 (32bit) with OSX 10.9.1
    Why the mouse pointer in Logic Pro does not change shape during work???
    It was already difficult with OSX 10.9 but now after upgrading to 10.9.1 it's game over!
    At least before I could select which display use Logic Pro to have all the shape functions of the pointer. Not in both displays, so to be forced to edit in ONLY ONE of the two displays using this workaround: (right click on Logic icon in Dock: Option --> Desktop on Display 1). Now or I select “Option --> All Desktops” or does not work. However, by selecting all displays you say goodbye to Mission Control. This can’t be a solution!!!
    The amazing thing is that Nuendo has no problem while Logic Pro, Apple's native software, it can't!
    With Nuendo it’s indifferent in which display you are working, the shape of the mouse pointer changes shape depending on the requirement in both displays.
    This thing drives me crazy!
    Solutions?
    Here some ideas in other foums:
    http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=86264
    But this aren't really solutions but workarounds. Use Logic in all desktops makes Mission Control useless!!

    I installed all over again by formatting as suggested by the genes of pro application support. Each plug-in, each virtual instrument, a job that lasted 3 days. And as suggested for each new plug-in I proceeded to check the proper functioning of Logic Pro and did each time a back up with Time Machine.
    The Result:
    Logic works as it should ONLY on the primary monitor and ONLY on the first desktop.
    BUT
    Reason and Nuendo dont' have this issue !!
    I believe that Apple developers are thinking only to mobile phones and things like messages or face time.
    And that's not all!
    After a few weeks, perhaps by installing a version of Adobe Acrobat, I say maybe because I'm not sure, logic has stopped working properly. Again problems with the mouse pointer.
    Luckily I had a back up! But now I'm terrified to install new programs. Thanks Apple!

    I'm talking about the PAID FOR "Personal Hotspot" AT&T feature that comes with a 4GB dataplan. If you have a Jailbroken phone then this isn't for you.... Anyway, upgraded to IOS 5 and at the worst possible time I discovered that my phone no longer had the ability to share it's over the air data with my Laptop. Restarting the phone didn't help, turning cellular data on and off didn't help and after hitting a wall I called AT&T's tech support number as I had a strong suspicion what the problem was and that they'd be able to help. Despite explaining the problem and proposing a quick fix the agent made reference to an internal memo saying there are bugs in IOS 5 and that my lack of tether was an Apple software issue and I had to call them. Frankly in this case it's VERY MUCH an AT&T provisioning issue, and one AT&T should have their techs deal with in 30 seconds rather than waste customer's time pointing fingers. After a long and frustrating attempt to get the tech to fix the problem I ended the call by CANCELLING my tether plan and going back to the "Regular" 2GB plan. Reason being hat if it's an IOS bug then it will be weeks I'm paying for service that I'm not getting, or if I was right the problem would be fixed on my next call to AT&T. For giggles I called and spent a very miserable 40 minutes dealing with Apple's IVR and nice but dim tech who was more concerned that I didn't have Apple care than anything else. That call ended with Apple saying it's not them and I should call AT&T support... However, instead of beating my head against the wall again I called SALES and asked them to add 4GB data and teher to my phone. 5 minutes later I had working tether. Problem solved. Basically to enable tether the phone has to pass a sanity check that it hasn't been tampered with, and then to activate the feature a fil is pushed down over the air to "Bless" the iPhone. I suspect as part of the IOS upgrade something went out of whack with either the file or the anti-tamper checks. Solution was to reprovision tethering, but AT&T support wouldn't hear of it. So, if you have lost tethering after an IOS 5 upgrade and AT&T support won't help then the solution is pretty painless. A) call customer service (not tech support) and CANCEL your tethering and extended dataplan. B) Turn your phone off for 5 minutes, then wait another 30 mins or so and call SALES. Ask them to add Tethering and extended data to your account. C) Wait another 30 minutes, or if you're impatient you can try turning your phone on and off again, and you'll be back in business. The down side to the is is you pay for two data plans for this month, but get a credit for the overlap next month (ie net you don't lose out). Hoping AT&T reads this and stops wasting everyone's time by enabling 1st level support to deprovision and then reprovision tether without messing with billing. We can live in hope, but until then I hope this may help someone being bounced around in a game of "Blame Tennis". Once again AT&T = All Twisted & Tangled!

  • Why is the upgrade to iOS 7.0.4 (1.31 GB) taking ELEVEN HOURS?

    Why is the upgrade to iOS 7.0.4 (1.31 GB) taking ELEVEN HOURS?  After 2 full hours I have downloaded 240 MB!
    I realize my Internet speed of 2.5 Mbit/sec is not blistering, but it is the fastest available to me at my rural location.  It easily manages 8 to 10 GBs of material from other sites.
    There are no other users on the system and no other downloads taking place.  I am using a wired connection (not WiFi).
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Paul Good ([email protected])

    I am using iTunes and as I pointed out in my query, I am using the fastest connection available to me.
    From other sites a file of 1.31 GB would take me less than 40 minutes!

  • How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

    How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

    Have you seen this?
    Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
    A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
    If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples). FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S.

    ACR 8.7 has been released with support for the Nkon D750.  Why no Lightroom support yet? Am I wrong or was support for the D810 available far more quickly?

    ACR 8.7 has not yet been released. The ACR 8.7RC has been released. It is a Release Candidate - and as such, is not a final version.  I wouldn't be concerned about a lack of Lightroom support until a final version is released.

  • [SOLVED] Tiling wm that supports keychains and good mouse support

    I hope I'm not bringing up old questions but I couldn't really find anything useful using the search
    Basically I'm searching for a new tiling wm that supports a few things, namely:
    Keychains, absolutely necessary, dwm and i3 didn't seem to have this feature or I overlooked it
    good mouse support, hard to say when mouse support is good but configurable menus would be nice
    config files that aren't written in lua, ruby or whatnot wouldn't hurt either
    I'm using pekwm at the moment (screw the *boxes), an excellent wm, but it's no tiler...
    looking forward to useful answers

    I doubt that you're going to have much success finding a tiling manager with all of that baked in; most twms are made by minimalists and seem to eschew extra programs, unlike gnome and KDE.
    yeah I know, but pekwm is also pretty minimal and supports keychains
    Also, you may want to check this out: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … ison_table
    That was one of the pages I looked at before opening this thread here. Useful, but not in this case
    hbekel wrote:Take a look at xchainkeys. It's a standalone program to create chained keybindings independent of wm. Works best with a wm that has good scripting support, e.g. musca. I wrote because I was in the same situation as you are, looking for a tiler that supports proper keychaining.
    Thanks, I'll look into that
    You might be able to use xbindkeys to set up keychains, but it won't be trivial since you'll have to write a guile scheme config file and implement the keychaining logic on your own.
    I'm pretty sure I won't have enough time and skills to do that

  • Why can't I install iOS 8.0 on my iPhone 5?

    Why can't I install iOS 8.0 on my iPhone 5?  When I try to install it, a message says that I need 4.6 GB of storage available to install the update to the operating system, although the specs from Apple state that the update is 957 MB.  I have 1.2 GB available.  Do I have to delete all music (4.6 GB) and some of my apps to install this update?

    If you have a Computer with iTunes you will not need to make that room available.  If you do have to upgrade via WiFi you will have to make nearly as much memory available as it says (a little less typically works).  Any Apps you purchased will be available in the App Store if you go to Update and click on Purchases.  Then you will see all the Apps that you have ever purchased from the App Store and you can download them for free.  With regard to any of you Photos or Music that you may need to delete to make room you will need to ensure that those were already in some Backup at iCloud or on your Computer.  Even though iOS 8 is less than a GB the process of downloading and unpacking and preparing things takes the extra memory.
