For 2008, I wish that Apple...

• adds a hierarchy to the Events in iPhoto (and in the photo browser in Mail, and iApps)
• accelerates Leopard start-up
• makes possible to start my mac with my iPod 5G connected (I always forget to unconnect it)
• starts an ultra-portable series

For 2008, I wish for permissions to repair quicker.

I wish for HD output in iTunes with AppleTV supporting it, in full 1080p.

I'd like to see:

• a fix for the keyboard issue on the MacBook Pro (first character is often skipped when starting to type)
• the iPod Touch gain additional software features
• Time Machine become more customizable

I wish permissions-repair would become something of the past. Permissions shouldn't get corrupted in the first place. The system should be able to auto-correct this if it still happens. No?

The keyboard fix, I thought, was released a couple days ago...

I agree. I think it's rather odd that permissions should become corrupted at all. I'm intrigued by what might cause it (installers? etc.), but it shouldn't happen in the first place.

Nope, afraid not. Apple released a fix for keyboards freezing up, but the update did not resolve the issue of missing the first character. The two problems appear to be different, whether or not they may somehow be related.

It "feels" like the keyboard goes to sleep if not in use for a few minutes, and is woken by the first key press. Apple has locked the main thread about the issue on their Discussions forum, which has annoyed a number of people, but has apparently acknowledged the bug. Hopefully the acknowledgement means there is a fix in the pipeline.

I"m wishing for an update to AppleTV -- preferably a software update. I'll be more than a little miffed if they release a new ATV with new features, and leave the current ATVs behind altogether. I'm hoping for a software update for existing ATVs, much like what MS did for older Zune owners.

History with iPods wouldn't agree with your wish, TTC, but I guess Apple's been changing as of late, with iPhone/iPod touch. I, too, would agree that Apple TV is in need of a software update.
