Another thing totally missing from this thread is any indication whatsoever that any of those complaining are able or willing to do anything about it beyond entertaining the rest of us with their great wailings and gnashings of teeth.


No one here is going to click on 'Like' or 'Don't Like', and no one here can do anything about whatever you have become convinced the single most important issue of the day is for you. If you want to talk to Apple, then talk to them through their established feedback links, all of which are accessed through http://www.apple.com/feedback


For the record, I agree with those who point out that the new approach is, to put it charitably, poorly designed. In my own mind I put that off to this small taskoid being shunted off to some low-level intern of an engineer, a whole little project to do all on his or her own, coupled with supervisory failures at any of several levels above that pay grade when he sent over his bunch of code along with a proud 'I got it done!'. I made my complaint know to them via Feedback and provided some suggestions on better ways to do it, both of which have been replicated by others in this thread.


That sort of stuff just happens, even at Apple. They will change it if enough people complain about it, but isolated grumblings here in user-user forums doesn't get that done.

What the "stop whining and comply" brigade fail to grasp is that some people actually use other products and if they all start requiring answers to inane questions how many answers will we have to remember? How big will the safe place have to be to store all the pieces of paper?

Based on this change of requirements Apple will lose a customer who owns the whole suite of their products (except for the iMac).


I buy Apple, not because it's the best, but because it's easy, convenient and leaves me with more time to get on with the important things in life, if I wanted frustrating I'd buy Sony.........


I have actually written to Apple and asked for more information on this issue, I've also suggested that we should be able to set our own questions, however based on past experience I won't hold my breath waiting for an answer.

What makes you think you would get a reply when it states specifically,

"Use the form below to send us your comments. We read all feedback carefully, but please note that we cannot respond to the comments you submit."



so your suggestion doesn't work either..........................

Meg's suggestion was to send feedback.

You could not send feedback?

...

Wait a minute, you just wrote, "I did write"
