CarPlay not working on Apple iPhone 15 PRO MAX iOS 26
I have a FORD F250 2021. I returned for a deployment, and CarPlay does not work in my vehicle. I have tried all the YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram videos I could find. They all actually started to repeat, so I decided to come here. My wife has an iPhone 16 Pro Max, and it connects to CarPlay without any issues. Other than all the social media suggestions, do you have any other suggestions? No, I am not ready to purchase a new device.

Bring Back Launchpad
So, I started with the developer beta on Tahoe a couple months ago. I gave the new Apps.app a fair shot.... I HATE it. Finally used a terminal work around to get Launchpad back up and running. Now with the release of the Public Beta and Developer Beta 5, Apple has nerfed the Launchpad.app altogether. Apple, listen to your customers. Yes some people really love spotlight but not everyone wants to scroll through a list of apps as long as my leg because, my PTSD brain won't let me remember the name of the app to type into spotlight. The Launchpad app had a great visual reference for those of us with poor memory function. Bring it back, and let your customers choose which one they want to use.

Unable to RENEW Developer Account - no "Renew" button
After checking the forum, it's clear that Apple has a MAJOR ONGOING PROBLEM here. We are far from the only company experiencing this, and it has been a problem for years. Apple, please FIX THIS! What's the problem? We receive an email reminding us to renew our developer account. All of Apple's instructions to renew do not work (with no explanation), and yet we are threatened with removal of our apps if we do not renew in time. Firstly, it should be unnecessary for us to manually renew because we registered a valid credit card to auto-renew. It worked last year, and the same credit card continues to be valid. Secondly, when we try to manually renew, there is no "Renew" button appearing anywhere, contrary to Apple's instructions. It's not in the Developer app (Mac or iOS), and it does not appear in the Developer account website. We now have only 16 days left until Apple kicks our app out of the App Store. @APPLE: We are not alone. Lots of your customers have the same problem, as reported on this forum for multiple years. This problem threatens the livelihoods of many people. Please fix this! Thank you.

Missing App Crash Data in Analytics Report Downloads via API
I'm encountering an issue with the App Store Connect Analytics API. to download analytics reports, the app crash data is missing for both ONGOING and ONE_TIME_SNAPSHOT reports. The crash data does appear in the Dashboard, with the numbers greater than 5, so this doesn’t seem to be related to privacy restrictions. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Innovative mind with creative cutting edge vision and not enough tech experience
Hello! My name is Brittany! I’m a designer/artist. I am curious about what I should do.. I have all these ideas for developing things in the Apple Vision Pro world. But I have little to no experience with that stuff. I def need an outlet for my creative cutting edge ideas. Is this stuff easy to learn or am I better off working with someone to create my vision? How much would that even cost? Thank you kindly for any assistance💖

Lost Notes Associated with Emails
I had beta updates automatically coming to my phone and recently realized that the Notes associated with some of my emails (not those under iCloud) disappeared. After contacting support multiple times, I've essentially been told there is no way to get them back. Hundreds of Notes gone because of an iOS update Apple randomly decided to try out. I've tried: Deleting and redownloading the Notes app • Ensuring the Notes were synched under Mail (they were the whole time) • Toggling the synching (on/off) • Hard reset after all of these things • Though I was told to update/restore at one point, I was later told that this wouldn't fix the issue because my most recent backup was after the beta was put on my phone (my phone automatically backs up for fear of losing information...the irony). Has ANYONE has any luck with fixing this?

Apple Mail, Pre-header, Apple Intelligence
As a marketing company, we have been utilizing email pre-headers to provide concise summaries of our emails to our consumers. However, with the recent integration of Apple Intelligence into Apple Mail, these pre-headers have been rendered obsolete, replaced by an AI-generated summary of the email. While recipients have the ability to disable the AI function, as a marketing organization, we would like to retain control over the summary presented to our end users. Is there a mechanism for the sender of an email to instruct Apple Mail to refrain from utilizing Apple Intelligence for email summarization and instead display the pre-text?

Apple Music not playing explicit content even with screen time disabled.
Hey guys, wanted to ask if anyone else is experiencing this issue. I’m currently on iOS 26 beta 3. Me and my wife bought two iPhone 16 Pro Max’s yesterday and Got Apple Music the same day. However, both of our phones (different Apple IDs) refuse to play explicit songs even if screen time and restrictions are off. Anyone else having this issue? Thanks So much.

Problems connecting with Colab Enterprise python notebook on iPad mini
I'm trying to run Colab Enterprise notebook's from my iPad Mini, and continue getting the error message 'Unable to connect to the runtime'. The references support page offers a list of potential issues. I've checked off browser issues (same situation on Chrome, Safari and Firefox), Permissions (works fine on Macbook with same credentials), and network blocking dev platforms (tried this on 3 different networks, plus it works on my macbook). All signs point to a device issue, but Apple support isn't supporting this issue. If anyone has any insight into this, I'd appreciate any info. thx

iOS 18.4 changed for DMA / EU coming to Switzerland?!
I read that 18.4 beta allows to changes default payment, default navigation, default translation etc app. Now I have the question will these changes come to Switzerland? Can someone with the beta confirm it? I'm asking because as example my GF iPhone doesn't allow her to install an alternative store (epic games store), because she isn't in the EU, but she can delete all Apple Apps including the Apple Store according to the DMA / EU law. So, are these changes coming?

Reversed text in Photos on iMac
There was a post last year with the same issue, but got closed without solution. In Photos when I type the name of an album the cursor goes to the lft after each character input. So an album with the name "Hello" becomes "olleH" I am on the latest update, tried a restart, tried with a new album, different user, etc. Who can give me a hand. 15.6 Beta (24G5065c)

I deleted my notes from iCloud and can’t restore them. Я удалил заметки из iCloud и не могу восстановить.
Greetings, everyone! I’m asking all of you to help me. My issue is that I accidentally deleted all my notes from iCloud, and they were then removed from my iPhone and other devices as well. I have been using Apple products for many years, and my notes have been transferred from one device to another over time. They contain very important information for me, and I would really appreciate any guidance on whether it is possible to recover them. I have already tried using the online support at http://www.apple.com/support, but I couldn’t find a live chat option - only general instructions on different situations. I also noticed that there are no Apple Support phone numbers available for Kazakhstan. Given this, I would appreciate any alternative way to get assistance. Looking forward to your reply.
