Hi Joseph, I realize that you may not know Neil Barnfather since you are I believe fairly new on the list. However, if you Google his name you will find that Neil is far from somebody who complains without cause. I experienced a similar attitude a while back and while I received the refund in the

Hi Denise, I do recall reading your first post, and I did look into it, and it does seem like a great app, but I already have about 8 Note taking apps suggested by the list, and I could use the 3 bucks for trying out more pressing apps. You could on the other hand take the $3 bullet for the tea

Hi Chris, OK to a point. "You guys" is not a very professional way of addressing Apple ( no offense). Also, I think it is extremely unreasonable to expect Apple to discount their regular apps by their 30% take. Why would you expect to pay 30% less and basically ask Apple to not make any money on a

I noticed you did not post your messages to Apple customer service. Seems a bit odd. You stated in a previous message that you've quickly received a refund for your many other purchases. Your current issue sounds like a one off thing. In other words, let's say you reach someone at the management

Very smart suggestion. Let's say we all jump on this bandwagon (once again), and in the end we discover that whoever the original person this happened to was very nasty and demanding to the Apple customer service employees; hence the poor service. We're all going to be very embarrassed and not l

Hi all. Is there a way to paste text written within MBraille into another app. For example, can you write a note in MBraille and move it to your notes app, or can you write a reply in MBraille and paste it into the body of an email to reply to someone? I haven't seen anything that answers this.

Storage on the iDevices is measured in gigabytes, e.g. 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and so on. I'm sure there are terrabyte drives for the Mac, but your iDevices use solid state drives, and if terrabyte solid state drives exist, they would be prohibitively expensive. On 09/11/2013 08:37 AM, Regina Al
