Did what was recommended, but still can't sign in. Any ideas?
I reported the problem to Apple Support via email. but their responses were unhelpful and had no new information.
The suggestion for a fee based call to Apple technical support is insulting. Why would I pay for a call to fix a problem in your portal to sell me software?
Also, it is in Apple's best interest to address this; as it stands I can not upgrade to OSX Lion because it is only delivered via the App Store!
Am I to throw my Mac Pro out of the window? Is this how Apple provides support to their loyal customers?
How long are Apple products supported these days?
When I started to use Macs (1991), they had a great reputation, because everything was backward compatible. Not anymore!
The life cycle of Macs has become very short indeed for a very expensive product.
After 21 years I may switch to PC (can't believe I am writing this). IF I can not get a Mac that can run processor and graphics intensive tasks anymore, then I have really no choice. I am not buying a two year old Mac Pro at exorbitant prices to run Autodesk Maya (for complex and very high res rendering) when I can run the software on a PC faster and at less than half the cost.
Is Apple really abandoning the professional in favor of becoming a consumer electronics company?
Short sighted!
Sorry for the rant, but have become frustrated with Apple's lack of support!
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
