Re: ApplePay?

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Tim and interested members,

Yes, I read Apple News and had read the article.

I had been a loyal CBA customer since leaving school and starting work back in 
1960. This was the first time I was so disappointed with the CBA and spent 
‘wasted’ time (similar to Daniel) campaigning for CBA to use Apple Pay. 
I couldn't believe that CBA a 'forward thinking bank' was not keeping up with 
technology.

So what did I do about it?
Macquarie Bank and ING Direct had Apple Pay so when the CBA didn’t follow, I 
already had Macquarie and ING Direct accounts (as well as CBA accounts), so I 
transferred most of my funds and payments from my CBA account to my Macquarie 
and ING Direct so I've been able to use Apple Pay for quite some time… Pay 
anyone… and with Wallet - Theatre Concert show seat number - check in for 
flights ‘Boarding Pass'  - etc.
I’ve found Apple Pay  excellent service and with Touch ID… so easy! ;-)

You can bet if the Banks ‘invent’ this ‘instant paying app’… the Banks will 
make money - the customers will pay!

Well that’s my 5c added to the topic ;-))

Cheers,
Ronni

Or it may be for economic reasons. For example, Apple may charge either the 
Apple user or the bank a fee for each transaction, but the banks might not 
charge the wallet user.

Gosh !
I understood that they had already been denied the Cartel by the ACCC.
But looks like the decision is still pending.
I may have to move to ANZ if they are going to cry and stamp their feet for a 
while yet.

Re: ApplePay?

[Peter Crisp]

Well done Daniel for having the guts to take them to task on this. I am ANZ and 
have used Apple Pay for ages now and it is great. It might be marginal to lure 
me away from an existing bank if I weren’t ANZ currently but as you pointed out 
very clearly, some will make the move for it.

Their initial response seems a “standard response” but once you started using 
the language as you know what you;re talking about, then they seem to have 
retreated as their is no satisfactory response to justify their tardy response 
to not finding a secure solution to move forward for their customers (loyal and 
others maybe recently joining them as well).

Good luck with the campaign. Keep us informed of the “case study”.

Regards


Pete

Re: DVD player

heheh no competition,…just not often I get to a post before you,…hehe. :) (Was 
filling in a break while working,…hehe).
Yes, I went with cheaper external DVD drives then the Apple one,…so that’s only 
why I knew…hehe. But I don’t use them very much either.

Enjoy!

Hey Daniel, I didn’t know we were having a competition... ;-)) 

I must admit it was a long time ago when I first purchased my ‘Apple External 
SuperDrive’ possibly when first released.
So duly noted, that Apple DVD Player now works with newer external third party 
DVD drives!

Re: ApplePay?

[Daniel Kerr]

Yes I’m also waiting for Westpac to “hurry up” with ApplePay on their side. 
I’ve been with Westpac since first moving to Australia (which from memory was 
around 1998).
I actually sent them an email the other day about this, as their feedback for 
it as been ongoing for the last 3-4 years saying “once it’s available, we’ll 
look into having it”, and they seem to have a “blanket response” for it. Which 
is quite poor.
This was my email conversation with them,….

My “Feedback” to them using their online form

When will Westpac add Apple Pay here in Australia. On twitter and other places 
they say ¦it¦s coming¦, ¦we¦re looking into it ¦ etc. But this has been going 
for the last 3 years at least. Plenty of other Aus banks have taken it on and 
ANZ has had it for ages. (And even smaller banks have it!). Yet we¦re still 
waiting. And the US and other places have it also. Why is there such a delay 
when plenty of customers are requesting it , and plenty more leaving Westpac to 
go elsewhere to get. As a loyal customer for over 17years even I¦ve been 
considering it with such a delay. Please consider implementing it this year.

Dear Daniel,

Thank you for your enquiry in relation to Apple Pay.  
At this stage Apple Pay is not eligible for Westpac Mobile Payments.
Currently Samsung mobiles are the only phones that have the appropriate phone 
hardware required to support Westpac's Mobile Payments Solution.
While many other Android handsets have NFC functionality which allows the phone 
to talk to the contactless card reader, they don't have the required ESE 
security hardware (Embedded Secure Element) that we use to keep your payment 
details safe.
Once handset manufacturers add ESE to handsets for NFC payments, Westpac will 
then look to add its Pay functionality to these devices in Australia.
We are always looking at ways to improve, and always keen to hear feedback and 
suggestions from our customers.
If this changes in the future you will be notified through advertising on our 
website, through the Westpac app as well as notifications through email.
Thank you again for your feedback.
Yours sincerely

Hi 

I find this quite surprising as Apple have a secure enclave (which even they 
don’t have access to the data once it’s there), as they process via token’s 
rather then details. So the secure enclave used for security is more then 
sufficient for all other “details”.
Yet a lot of banks and places in the US and other countries can process Apple 
Pay through it. And ANZ amongst many many many smaller banks can process Apple 
Pay through it, and you’re using what appears to be a “poor excuse” that it 
isn’t secure enough?
And online for about the last 4 years the Westpac “standard line of excuse” 
that “we’re looking into” has just been ongoing.
I would have thought in this day and age of “customer service” that Westpac 
would surely see that a lot of your customer base want it, and have been 
requesting it for over 4 years - other banks can do. Yet Westpac can’t

The secure enclave for Apple Pay is completely different to Westpac’s own 
Mobile Payments Solution (internet banking, payment app), so it would go above 
the requirements security. Or is it more that because Westpac with the other 2 
major banks lost their ACCC case against Apple in that Apple wouldn’t open the 
secure enclave for them to use that we’re not seeing Apple Pay implemented?
I am a little disappointed in this “standard line of response” and I know from 
other Westpac customers they are also waiting as well. (can only wait so long 
before other banks start looking attractive). And given I’ve banked with 
Westpac for over 17 years this is quite disappointing.

Kind regards
Daniel

Strangely enough, I never got a response back to that one,….lol. And that was 
over 2 weeks ago now. ( I don’t think I was “that” rude,..I was just getting a 
point across,…..lol.

So that’s all I’ve said to people, is to keep filling in the online feedback 
form on their banks. I’d think if enough customers keep complaining about it, 
something might happen.
Just very poor responses from them I felt. I really like my Westpac rewards CC 
and don’t really want to move banks or get another card just for Apple Pay,…but 
it’s quite annoying just to get the standard “card response” to a query……

Still, I suppose it could be worse, ….like the NBN mess….lol. :)
(Or maybe I’m just getting grumpier in my “old age”,….hehe).

Sorry for the long post /rant,…just my 2cents worth,…hehe

Kind regards
Daniel

Re: DVD player

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Severin,

Apple's DVD Player application only works with an internal optical drive or 
‘Apple's external SuperDrive’.
You can physically remove the DVD Player but it will only install again in an 
update.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: DVD player

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi Severin

You can turn off DVD Auto launch as follows - 
Open DVD Player. Go to the DVD Player menu then Preferences.
Under the Player tab, where it says “When a disc is inserted” un-tick “start 
playing disc”.
It used to be a setting you could change in System Preferences, but it’s 
generally removed on my systems with no DVD player.

But that should stop it for you.

Try that and see how you go.

Kind regards
Daniel

Re: Nudging in iMovie

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Severin,

I’m not sure exactly what you mean.
Modify or remove a crop, rotation, or Ken Burns effect in a clip:

1. In the timeline, select the clip with the Ken Burns effect you want to 
modify.
2. Click the Adjust button in the toolbar.
The adjustments bar appears above the clip in the viewer.
3. To show the cropping controls, click the Cropping button.

Modify a Ken Burns effect:

* To modify the crop at the beginning of the clip: Select the Start frame, and 
then reposition and resize it until the beginning of the clip is framed the way 
you want.
* To include the entire image in the frame: Click Fit.
* To change a crop: Drag to reposition and resize the white crop frame.

To apply the changes, click the Apply button  ✔  to the right of the cropping 
controls.
