Why simple functions are not included in iPhone?

My iPhone is a wonderful piece of equipment I can't leave home without (in addition of my Amex card :-)) But for the life of me, I can't understand why Apple could not include functions which are pretty much standard with all other inferior mobile phones. Simple functions such as bluetooth transfer between phone or just saving important sms from iPhone to computer. Nokia has a great Nokia PCSuite; Motorola has very useful MobileTools which allows full sync between mobile phone and computer. I got to ask the question ... WHY? WHY? WHY? Is there any apps developer out there that can develop an apps similar to Nokia PCSuite or MobileTools. I will be the first one to pay for it.

Read about the megapixel myth. More megapixels does not mean a better camera.
2. A camera flash.
Let Apple know - http://apple.com/feedback
3. The ability to use your own custom message tone.
I hope not but see answer to number 2. People's ringtones in public can be annoying enough without giving them more choices to be annoying.
4. The way text messages are organised are a bit ar$e about face, no folder for sent messages, they are just in a continuous thread.
It's called a conversation.
5. A quicker way of sending text messages to a group of people.
Pretty quick after you create the initial group but see my answer to number 2.

  • Why it is popular applications are not included in the official repo?

    Why it is very popular applications like yaourt (GPL), pacman-color (GPL) and many other free programs are not included in the official repositories?
    Why not create an official "non-free" repository for popular non-free software?

    There will never be an AUR helper in the official repositories because it runs counter to the AUR policy - which is: it's unsupported, so we're not facilitating its use. You need to be aware about the potential drawbacks of its usage, which involves getting you, the user, to make that call to install an AUR helper - which involves more than just calling pacman. Can't comment on pacman-colour, but apart from colour, it doesn't really add any functionality afaik .

    goodnight. as you know apple has evolved considerably until today but there are people who do not have ability to buy new products. in my case I would like to know why the apple do not let the iphone 3g update to iOS 4.3 as are several applications that can not put on my iphone 3g due to this reason. Why does not Apple make a repository with applications for ios 4.2.1? or else do not work in an update to ios 4.3 on iphone 3g?

    This has nothing to do with Apple, as Apple does not make the apps.
    This is the decision of the app maker.
    Contact those app makers and ask them why they do this.

  • How can i set songs within a playlist, or an entire playlist, so that they are not included when using the shuffle function on IPOD Classic? Is this possible?

    How can i set songs within a playlist, or an entire playlist, so that they are not included when using the shuffle function on IPOD Classic?
    Is this possible?

    You can set any song to Skip when shuffling.
    In your iTunes Library, highlight the song and right-click/Get Info. On the Options tab is the Skip when shuffling box. Select that and then Sync the iPod with your Library.

    You can recover Your music but not with original names.
    1. Go to Your iPod hard disk
    2. You must to see hidden files (if you don't see them go to in system explorer to Tools > Folder Options > View > and mark Show Hidden Files)
    3. Go to folder named iPod_Control
    4. Copy folder Music - this is Your music but not with originally names
    I'm must to say sorry - my English is not very good - I'm still learning
    I hope it helps

    Next time an app update gets stuck try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons for10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own. Try now. Also YouTube is still available. If you can't find it the the app store go to the bottom of the app store page and tap purchased. All your deleted apps will be listed and you can reinstall YouTube from there.

  • Why Toshiba notebooks are not delivered with the common Vista install CD

    Our household now has two x Toshiba laptops, both of which were supplied with MS Vista Home Premium pre-installed.
    The nature of the Recovery Media provided with these machines is such that (a) we do not have sufficient flexibility over volume/partition sizes, program locations etc., and, more specifically.
    It makes it necessary for the majority of the bundled software (Norton Security etc.,) to be installed by default in the event of a system failure. (And immediately uninstalled following recovery! An unnecessary waste of time.)
    Bearing in mind that a proportion of the price paid for each laptop must have included a cost for the Vista Operating System, does anyone know if it is possible to obtain a Master Recovery disk which ONLY consists of the operating system, and which allows us the flexibility of configuration which used to be available when the OS was purchased as a separate product.
    Additionally, please let me know if it is possible to purchase Toshiba laptops as a RAW machine, i.e no OS supplied, and I will then buy my own and cut out the rubbish which is supplied on the pre-installed media.

    >Why Toshiba notebooks are not delivered with the common Vista install CD?
    The answer is very simple: software is bundled to hardware and when you buy notebook you buy license for preinstalled Vista version and you can install recovery media so often you want and it belongs JUST to your notebook model. It cannot be used with other notebook or PCs.
    If you get usual Vista installations DVD it can be installed on each computer system. For such purposes you must buy Microsoft installations DVD.
    As you already wrote Toshiba recovery image contains much software that can be not useful for you. You can remove it from the system and nobody force you to use them. I do the same.
    After clean OS installation the first thing I do is to remove or software I don't need or I don't like.
    I optimise preinstalled OS on my own.

  • Songs in itunes match are not on my iphone

    I have recently started to trial iTunes Match and with 20k+ carefully managed songs with all artwork intact, I am confused and perplexed on why some songs are not uploaded to the Cloud; why some artwork is then missing in Match; and why songs showing in Match are not transferred correctly on my iPhone nor iPad (they are listed, but light grey and not playable). Any suggestions on what I need to do or is this an Apple issue?

    First, you need to let the inital scan, match and upload process in iTunes complete before you enable the service on your iOS devices. This is the best practice. Once the initial scan is complete then all the music will be availabe on the iOS devices.
    Second, in Song view in iTunes enable the iCloud Status column so you can see how the service has classified all the music in your library. If successfully processed all the tracks shoud be either "purchased," "matched," or "uploaded." Any other status indicates a problem with that track that will need to be sorted out, and it won't be availble on the iOS devices.
    Third, be patient with the artwork. It can take some time for all the artwork to download to the iOS devices. It isn't instant. But eventually all the artwork will show up.

  • 9iAS  java functions are not working

    Dear All.
    I’m using oracle 9iAS Release 9.2.0.1.0 and JServer Release 9.2.0.1.0. I’m using java functions (eg. Array, pop, push method and trim function) in my JavaScript section.
    But these functions are not working. When run the page it work up to that function and stuck. Functions are written properly.
    I would be much-appreciated .if you could help me to solve this problem..

    Are you sure you uncommented and changed jvm.include.CLASSPATH=1
    in the jvm12.conf when you added your classpath there?
    The preferred way to do this would be to create a .war and deploy it instead. Then you can put your beans in the WEB-INF/classes directory and the application wont have conflict problems if you decide to create virtual servers later.

    Make sure you are entering events on an iCloud calendar, and not the On My iPhone (iPad) calendar or on a calendar from an external account such as Gmail (Google), Yahoo, or and exchange account.  Only your iCloud calendar will sync with iCloud.

  • Windows 8, Lightroom 5.6. When i enable filters to search. It cuts off the top 160  images. These images are NOT included in the search!!

    In Windows 8, Lightroom 5.6. The search/filter function cuts off the top 160+ images. These are NOT included in the search.
    Even when there are as little as 6 images it does not include the first 4 images.
    I found this when I was searching a particular ISO. It did not show in the metadata search. I knew there were over 60 images at that ISO.
    I tried a text search, it did not work either. The top 160+ images were left out.
    Also it renumbered the images. My image number was #163 but Lightroom said it was #1.
    In Windows 7 Enterprise, Lightroom 5.6 worked perfectly.

    We'll need more detail to figure out what's going on. While we could play twenty questions, the most efficient way to troubleshoot this is to start out by posting a full-resolution screen shot of your LR window.

  • SunStudio on Linux: C functions are not in std:: namespace

    Hi,
    i'm using SunStudio 12 compilers on a Debian Etch x86 host and have some compilation problems.
    The compilers complains that C functions are not in std:: but only in the global namespace.
    I thought the standard was that they are in both namespaces.
    I suspect the issue may be related to system headers since the problem never occured with Sarge nor Solaris.
    Anyone as some hint to solve this problem ?
    I there a "clean" workaround ?
    Thanks,
    Aurelien

    Let me clarify Paul's comments.
    If you include a C-style header like <stdio.h>, you should get names in both namespace std and in the global namespace.
    That is, the following program should compile with Sun C++: #include <stdio.h>
    int main()
        std::printf("Hello ");
        printf("world!\n");
    }If you include the C++ versions of the C headers, like <cstdio>, using Sun C++ you get names only in namespace std -- except on Linux.
    The g++ compiler, particularly on Linux, does not follow the same rules. The <stdio.h> header puts names only in the global namespace, and <cstdio> puts names in both namespaces. To allow compilation of programs on Linux that compile with g++, Sun C++ tends to follow g++ rules where they are looser than what the C++ Standard says. (For some definition of "looser".)
    The most portable approach is to use the <xxx.h> C-style headers, and do not qualify the names from the headers with "std::".
    That is, the following program should compile everywhere: #include <stdio.h>
    int main()
        printf("Hello ");
        printf("world!\n");
    }
