Why won't Apple admit the problem with 6th generation nano power button?

The power (sleep) button on the 6th generation nano is obviously faulty and poorly designed. Why won't Apple step up and make it right and issue a recall to fix or solve the issue so many people are having? Apple, do you hear us? Make it right! You know it's wrong! If a power button fails after a couple of years, that's a sad design. Shame on you!

No, they don't hear you posting here. My button is working fine after 3 years.
This is primarily a user-to-user technical support site. You've wasted your time here.

  • Why doesn't Apple put the problems with ILife 2006 in their promos

    Why did I spend 80 bucks upgrading to 2006.
    Now I read here that people who do it are having the same problem I am that I cannot access my photos at all now.
    I get a message that my files have to be updated and when I do that an error says to go to all related files and make sure the permissions are for read and write. I have gone not only to the Iphoto Library folder which the instructions tell you to correct, but to every folder I can imagine any of my images are in and changed to read and write permissions.
    Still I have the same problem. Perhaps if you only have 53 photos in your database ILife 2006 will work, but apparently with two or three thousand it won't work.
    And the Apple ads scream that you can now have a quarter million photos in the data base.
    For heavens sake don't believe it and don't buy until they can fix it. I am going to try to reinstall 2005 and forget the stupidity of paying to upgrade.
    If there is an answer out there, I will appreciate hearing how you solve it.

    John, I have over 10,000 photos and it works. A friend of mine has over 40,000, and iPhoto works faster than iPhoto 5 did with 5000.
    There is one problem though, and from your post it looks like you're encountering it - since iPhoto 6 is required to move your photos to a better organization (debatable for some but I like it) structure, it needs to move all your photo files. Usually if it can't move them, it assumes there is a permissions problem. Sometimes, there is another problem - if any file is "locked", iPhoto will still put up the same error. So here's how to correct both problems.
    First: Go to your iPhoto library folder in the Finder and Get Info (Cmd-I). In the Ownership and Permissions, expand the Details section. Make sure you are the owner, and set the access to Read and Write. Then click "Apply to enclosed items" and authenticate. This should address any permissions problem throughout your library. If this fixes your problem, you don't need step two.
    Second: From your /Applications/Utilities/ folder, launch Console. Click Clear to clear the screen. Launch iPhoto 6, click Upgrade and get that error. If you look in Console, it may give you a list of files that are locked. I'm not sure how this happens, but some files get that way. You have to go to the specified locations of those files in the Finder, and Get Info on them. Uncheck the Locked checkbox for all of them.
    You will be able to access and upgrade your library in iPhoto 6 easily after this. If not, post back here. iPhoto 6, in my opinion, is one of the best upgrades, not worth missing out on.

  • Why won't Apple TV Home Share with my iMac?

    Why won't Apple TV Home Share with my iMac? I have no problem Home Sharing with MacBook Pro.  I have set up all Sharing settings on my iMac exactly the same as my MacBook Pro.  The operating system on my iMac and MacBook Pro is the same (OS X Mountain Lion - 10.8.4).

    shared lib was around long before appletvs
    in the form of computers on the same network being able to access eachothers shared lib in itunes
    if you can do that from your macbook pro as in access the shared lib of the imac
    then the problem is with the appletv somehow
    if you also can't access the shared lib of the imac from the macbook then you setup something wrong
    or have a firewall blocking it or are not on the same network with the 2 devices
    if the later when you fix the shared lib between computers chances are if will also be fixed from the appletv

  • Why won't Apple activate the FM receiver feature of the Broadcom  BCM4335 chip?

    Why won't Apple activate the FM receiver feature of the Broadcom  BCM4335 chip?
    I paid for it, it uses less energy, less bandwidth, during emergencies, we would have radio access & FEMA would like it activated.
    I asked an Apple tech on chat and they said there is no FM capability on the phone.  I asked if my iPhone has a Broadcom chip and they ended the chat.  I had to give them my phone number twice, but they never called back with me back to answer the question.  According to NPR the chip is activated in other countries.

    could it be because the iphone6 don't have an Broadcom  BCM4335 chip?

  • Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection?

    Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection on the iPad 3?

    Cellular connection problem was for US connection in Houston, Texas.  Have an iPad 2 which functions perfectely on Wi-Fi or 3G.  Bought an iPad 3 strictly to get the increased speed from the 4G LTE connection.  Purchased on with the AT &T cellular.  Wi-Fi functions fine, but 4G LTE connection is terrible when it connects at all.  Went to AT&T and they said no problems with service in my area, but never get over 2 bars and most times, Web pages load very slow or will hang and not load at all.  Went to the Apple store and they said it was AT&T network problem and went to AT&T and they said no problems with their service.  Went to the Apple communities forum here and discovered that many people were having the same problems with the 4G LTE cellular connection on their iPad 3's.  Didn't seem to matter if it was AT&T or Verizon.  So I decided that I would just return the unit and wait for Apple to fix the problem.  Hence my question.
    Appreciate very much your time in responding to my question.

  • I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

  • TS3474 I purchaed the earpods with mic & controls and they don't work with 6th generation nano.  Are the features supposed to be compatible with this model of nano?

    I purchased the earpods with mic & controls and the features don't work with 6th generation nano--is this normal?

    Hi there,
    According to the product page:
    The remote and mic are supported by all models of iPod, iPhone, and iPad (not all models support volume up/down functions). Audio is supported by all iPod models.
    Your iPod Nano may be one of the models that does not support the volume up/down function. Take a look at the page below for more information.

  • Why won't Apple register the serial number for my ipod?

    Apple won't register the serial number for my ipod purchased at a Walmart.  Also noticed there is no settings icon in the upper left corner and can't connect to my own internet connection at home.  Any suggestions?

    Purchased new.  Did not try to register thru iTunes.   Just wanted to  hook up via my wi-fi connection at home.  Why won't Apple register my serial number without hook up to iTunes?

  • Why my 1st generation nano earbuds not working with 6th generation nano?

    Hi there,
    I had a 1st generation iPod Nano and Apple just replaced it with a 6th generation nano, however the earbuds jack of my 1st gen does not fit all the way into the 6th gen, it leaves a tiny bit outside and I couldn't push it all the way in, though I could hear sounds through the earbuds.  Is there anyone out there that experience this?  I thought the earbuds connector is universal.
    Also, I'm not sure if this is related to the earbuds not fitting all the way in.  My new Nano shuts itself off about 1 minute or 2 after I turn it on, I am thinking it may think there is no earbuds connected to it, could this be why?
    Thanks for any help!
    Ray.

    Push harder, the headphone jack on the 6 is very tight when new.

  • 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 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 ?

  • Did apple fix the problems with 2.0.1 on 2.0.2?

  • Why won't apple support the charging cable I bought?

    I bought a cheaper charging cable online. It worked just fine before the ios7 upgrade. Now the software won't let the cable charge my phone because I didn't pay apple $30 for it. This is ridiculous and the opposite of why I was an apple fan before. Not to mention how overpriced the apple cable is. Not cool.

    Apple has no obligation to support someone else's product. Why you would expect that is beyond understanding.
