Does Apple Care About Pro Market? Not Really, Says Former Shake Product Designer | Mac|Life. I am always surprised when I read stories like this. So I responded below but it said it triggered the spam filter. Where is the spam? I guess you can only post if you don’t reference your evidence.

Mr. Jobs has said on several occasions that Apple is first a consumer focused company. The professional versions were just opportunities they had. They still are focused on the bottom line, and that means winning over the vast legions of the public who are using windows.

Time after time, professional products are canceled and people forget. Do you remember the Blu-Ray drives that never happened? Or the recent dropping of Xserve/Xraid arrays? Why do people forget the past?

You can find out more about what Apple has said they want to be here.

It was brought up in this article at TUAW and I responded with my ideas below.

I don’t believe TuneRanger would be a good purchase based on the reviews at several websites like Amazon and Cnet.

9 reviews at Amazon gave it 2 stars (low rating) with the majority giving it 1 star. You can read more here:

If you want to do this your best case is to make a case at Apple for it. If you have Applecare then you can legitimately ask how you can accomplish this. If I were to do this I wouldn’t expect to be able to save all the data. I would expect at the very least that 3rd party software would miss things like smart playlists, and metadata.

Try SyncoTunes. It has pretty good reviews.

even though out of warranty Apple fixes computer (via megandowntherabbithole)

She is really lucky to get everything covered out of warranty. Usually Apple is hard nosed about this. Has anyone else who didn’t use their AppleCare have a courtesy repair?

nothing stops your heart quite like the White Screen of Death In an attempt to be organized (Stop it. Stop laughing. Right now.) I’ve made these huge elaborate lists of goals and timelines and things I want to get done in the next year, art-wise. I figure since I’m not currently enrolled in school, and won’t be again until the fall, it’s time to quit slacking. So I have plans to rebuild my websi … Read More
