Oh, I know that I would not have been happy at all - but I was (at the time) so furious at Apple at trying to blame this on me. Until all of the charges showed up, I assumed (incorrectly) that IAP would have to have one's passcode. While this flaw…
-
It may have been fixed - the only way it really could be fixed is to require one's password EVERY time an IAP was made. We are a family with several iOS devices and several young children. It would be nice if Apple would allow assigning a master p…

Apple II - I understand and agree with you about parents being responsible for their children. However, I was caught by the "in-app purchase virus" a year or two back. It turned out that IAP were allowed without ANY authentication whatsoever. Thi…

It would be stupid of Apple to delay new products until Steve returns. A public company does not and should not depend on one person. They are not going to miss out on any sales just to have Steve announce something. As a shareholder, I want Ap…

I haven't been following the new 'mini and iMac as closely as I normally would - I went ahead and got an iMac in Oct. But.. Isn't Intel supposed to have some new chips ?? Maybe Apple is waiting on this. It would have been nice to hear an ETA a…

That sounds good - but I would want it to show up in the login window - not just a shared drive mounted. What I am thinking about is something like Dreamweaver which uses paths to my web development directory. I would think that the paths would ne…

If Apple does come out with a tablet, who says they are limited to one size ?? I could see a ipod-touch to tablet1 rename, a 5" and a 10" - all would be useful to different markets. I would want a 10" myself - with a stylus to take notes with. …

Another thought - an iTunes server would be great for those with Macbooks who want to manage large video libraries. Alternatively, if Apple would enable the USB port on AppleTV to enable 1TB or bigger drives to be added - that would be great. iT…

I have mentioned this before (I think - I have slept since then)... AppleTV/iTunes biggest problem is content - they just don't have the numbers like Netflix. What would be wrong with Apple BUYING Netflix, keeping the mail-out rental stuff but a…

Well, we have all heard about the possibility of iTunes movie rentals. I, for one, will be among the first to try this. What about iTunes TV show rentals for $.50 (for 1 day of viewing) ?? We already DVR all of our shows as it is - this would m…

I think Apple should BUY netflix - a rental service should have more content than iTunes currently does.

Another thing for the Apple UI gurus to ponder - I just realized what else bothers me about stacks. When you click on a stack, the dock should remain stationary. What I find myself doing is moving to an icon (I use the grid view) directly after …
-
I am also a bit disappointed in Stacks - I used to be able to right-click on a folder in the dock and bring up a small simple menu of the items within it. Now, I have to navigate through some fairly large icons to get to what I want. I would be ha…

I would just like to see better library management. I'd like to keep my music on my iMac and my videos on an external drive. This way, I'd have my music with me when I put my iMac in my trusty iLugger and carry it around. Also, I'd love to see …

I haven't read all of the other posts yet - so this may be redundant. All I want is a tablet that will: * allow me to take notes (either typed or w/ stylus) * allow me to store / view PDF documents. I have been buying ebooks (Thanks apress…

Why not a "cover-flow" interface for navigating history ?? And for a more advanced "search", maybe a 2d (or more ??) cover flow. Up/down would navigate through the possible search criteria and right/left through the items found for each search. …

I'd like a mini-tower for cost reasons. If such a beast were fairly nicely equiped for about $12-15 hundred, I would tend to upgrade more often. I have an iMac 24 now (the original) with a 500g drive and 2 gig of RAM. If I were to upgrade to the …
