Update your Apple devices and systems as soon as possible to the latest available versions. Do not use untrusted networks (especially WiFi) while traveling, until you can update the devices from a trusted network. On unpatched mobile and laptop devices, set “Ask to Join Networks” setting to OFF, which will prevent them from showing prompts to connect to untrusted networks.

Will Apple get out a fix for iOS6? it's terrible

Will Apple get out a fix for iOS6? it's terrible

Since the very first iphone/ipod/ipad, Apple has consistently released software updates/improvements/bug fixes.
There is no reason to believe that they will stop doing this now.

Will the bash fix for Lion work on Snow Leopard?

Will the bash fix for Lion that fixes a security flaw in the bash UNIX shell, work on Snow Leopard?

Unfortunately this is not the path to security since it appears other services like CUPS use bash.
I agree. When I tried using symlinks to send calls to bash & sh to tcsh instead, I found a lot of broken shell scripts. I don't think tcsh has been maintained very well since it's use with OS X 10.0 through 10.2. I had better luck with xsh, though.
This is what I used for a day or so with Mavericks:
sudo mv /bin/bash /bin/bash.bak
sudo mv /bin/sh /bin/sh.bak
sudo ln -s /bin/zsh /bin/sh
sudo ln -s /bin/zsh /bin/bash

Will apple supply the OS X lion on the new iMAC's,or do we have to buy it

I plan to buy a new iMAC. Will apple supply the OSX Lion as a default with it or will I have to pay to upgarde from the snow leopard?

After Lion is released it will be pre-installed on new computers. Some inventory will remain with Snow Leopard pre-installed. In that case the purchased will get a drop-in upgrade redemption coupon enabling them to install Lion. See
The Mac OS X Lion Up-To-Date upgrade is available at no additional charge via the Mac App Store to all customers who purchased a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 6, 2011. Users must request their Up-To-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchase of their Mac computer. Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 6, 2011 and the date when Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from Lion’s official release date to make a request.

Apple preps second software fix for flickering 27-inch iMacs

Monday, January 25, 2010 - 12:06 PM EST
By AppleInsider Staff
Published: 11:50 AM EST
AppleCare technicians: A second fix for screen flickering affecting the hardware is due within 3 weeks.
In a thread on the Apple Discussions forums that spans nearly 250 pages, users have begun to report conversations with AppleCare representatives who claim a new update is forthcoming. A month ago, Apple released a software fix for the flickering issue on the 27-inch iMac, but since then users have said it did not address the problem. One user, Dennis Murphy, said he was told that AppleCare technicians were issued a bulletin on Saturday that stated a fix would be released in about three weeks. The Apple employee was allegedly instructed to collect customer contact information so they can be reached when the fix is released.
"This would clearly explain the extended shipping times we're seeing," Murphy wrote on the forums.
Last week, Apple delayed shipment of new direct-order 27-inch iMacs by three weeks. Supply issues have persisted for months, with Apple in December apologizing for the delays.
Another poster, GuiltyVerdict, wrote Saturday that an Apple representative told them a combination software and driver patch is due in roughly three weeks. "This will reportedly resolve the issue of the screen flickering (it is not hardware causing the issue)," the user wrote.
The three weeks allegedly cited by AppleCare technicians would coincide with the existing three-week wait time for direct orders of 27-inch iMacs. However, when contacted by AppleInsider Monday, an Apple representative said the three-week delay was not related to any hardware issues. Instead, they said the company has had trouble meeting up with demand for the new system, as some components are in limited availability. Still others have indicated system's internal graphics card cable could be the culprit. User ferris666 said they spoke with a technician who said the problem with the cable could not be fixed with a firmware update, though the "simple fix" has been implemented in newly produced machines.
While most of the reports are tied to the 27-inch model, there are also users who have experienced the same symptoms with the 21.5-inch model. When it debuted in October, the new iMac was the best-selling desktop in the U.S. for the month. Various issues were reported quickly, though the screen flickering has remained for some time.

I am not the engineer that you requested, but I think that you are missing the boat with the question. The 27" iMac already accepts 1080p. Any new Mac with a mini-DisplayPort can connect with the 27" iMac with a simple and inexpensive m-DP to m-DP cable and drive the iMac's display at its full resolution, 2560x1440 pixels.
So if this is a bassackwards way of inquiring about why an XBox or some other device is limited to 720p, it is because the adapter (~US$150) used limits the resolution to 720p. If you use a scaler (~US$299), which has its own graphics chip, instead of an adapter, then it can drive the iMac's display at 1080p.

When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy if you like texting family and friends. I'll never buy another one if I can't text using SMS or MMS. Is there any hope for a patch or new operating system to fix this issue, or an app to use with iPad Air

Is apple working of a fix for this update error. 8.0.1 needs 610mb of space.

Is apple working of a fix for this update error? 8.0.1 needs 610mb of space. Every time I try to install the latest update, I get this error: "Updating to iOS 8.0.2 requires at least 610 MB of free space on your iPhone. Please change your media sync options to make more storage available." There is way more space than that on my phone, (about 12gB) and no matter what i do, I keep getting this error. And what the heck are media sync options?
Also, my phone will not backup, giving me another error. iTunes could not backup this phone, because it could not back up to this computer, or something to that effect. Even trying to manually backup to iCloud, i get the same message about this computer. Seems like it started with the last update to iTunes.

Will Apple still provide security updates\patches to iOS 5.1.1?

Can someone please confirm if will Apple still provide security updates and patches to iOS 5 (5.1.1)?
I really really hope the answer is YES because iOS 5 was released less then a year ago (October 12, 2011)... So I truly hope Apple is not throwing us under the bus here? I mean even Microsoft provides OS security patch support for 10 years so please NO fanboys or Apple defenders... just be real.

iOS 6 works perfectly fine for me.
Regarding your maps issue,
Apple is constantly working on improving their new Maps service, but until it reaches the level of finesse necessary to be usable, take a look at some alternatives.
If you would like to send a suggestion to Apple, please go to http://www.apple.com/feedback or you can Report a Problem via the Maps app by tapping the bottom right.
Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.

Apple does not take trade-ins. You'll have to look for a dealer that does, though you'll probably get more for the iPad 1 if you sell it yourself.

Is Apple working on a fix for editing photos for wallpaper, call contacts with photo, etc? The iPhone used to be so intuitive for everything but that tanked with the ios7 upgrade

iPhone 5 was so intuitive before the update. Editing photos has changed for the worst-any word of a fix for editing photos for wallpaper? Not a work around, a fix. If I wanted this kind of photo editing I'd still be using my droid x.
Anyway to go back to ios6?

Will apple continue to support OS X Lion?

I am new to apple and i have question regarding OS X Lion.
I have OS X Lion 10.7.4 on my Macbook pro late 2011 model, i want to ask that will apple continue update to OS X Lion to 10.7.5 or above? despite the fact that apple has just released a new OS X mountain lion..

no one here knows what apple plans to do. They haven't released a newer version of 10.6 (10.6.8) since 10.7 was released last summer. So if you want to take a guess based on that. Then the answer is no. But again, no one here can say what apple has planned as we just dont know.

Is Apple working on bug fixes for IOS 8.0.2? Wish I had NOT updated! Terrible on IPad2!

IS Apple working on bug fixes for IOS 8.0.2? It is terrible on IPad2, wish I had NOT updated!

Since "upgrading" to iOS8.x my IPad2 is so slow and buggy. If the old hardware can't handle the new iOS, Apple should say so.

Security fix for Acrobat & Reader 8.1.2

I just installed the security fix for Acrobat & Reader 8.1.2 from this link:
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb08-15.html
After the update there is nothing to indicate that it is actually installed.
Going to Help About both Acrobat & Reader still shows Version 8.1.2 as before.
Is there a way to tell if the patch is installed?

My problem is same as Post #2
I have downloaded the security update and still see AcroRd32.exe as File version 8.1.0.137. I've done this on more than one machine running XP/SP2 with every Windows update applied except SP3. I have deleted Acrobat Reader via Control Panel and then for good measure deleted the sub-directory C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader manually.
I downloaded again, ran updates until I got "There are no updates available at this time."
I ran the security update as stated in the posts above(Post #16). This was verified via
Computer Management > System Tools > Event Viewer
Product: Adobe Acrobat and Reader 8.1.2 Security Update 1 (KB403742) -- Installation operation completed successfully.
There are 2 files in C:\Program File\Adobe\Security Update
HotFix64.exe and RdrSU.mst
I just don't see where AcroRd32.exe version 8.1.2.215 or whatever is supposed to come from?
I'm running this as Administrator and on 3 different machines each with the same result.
