I know that will be the case for me.

The new one is a little more Apple-like with icons instead of lists, but I liked having everything right on the screen before and now I have to scroll down to get to the icons below the tv screen view.
The old interface wasn't perfect but logical - as you say the icons are for the iPhone and iPad crowd, and as i see it will entail more scrolling and button hopping on the remote.

Quelle surprise......
It's a bit like the redesign of these discussion fora - the new layouts are designed for the younger generation but far too much scrolling and hard work to find what you want compared to the old format.

  • Is there any news about when the software update for the extravert will be available?

    Had the phone since November and can't send or receive media messages or go on the internet. Basically there doesn't seem to be enough memory, stripped the phone of all apps, pics,and music to free it up but still say's it full. Getting vague answers from Verizon and L.G of  there will be new software soon. On the unlimited plan and can't use everything I'm paying for. Thanks

    To supplement the known information about this update, I found a post from LG regarding what this update addresses:
    http://www.lgforum.com/forum/boards/carriers/verizon/topics/anyone-know-what-the-software-update-for-the-lg-extravert-did-and-camera-issues
    1. Memory issue
    2. Fixed touch is wrong behavior
    3. Add option to Re_send MMS to failed recipients
    4. New PRL 57011
    5. Update Opeara mini browser(189 --> 191)
    6. Reset when MMS receive after Spanish set
    7. Occurred noise to mono headset connect to MP3 play
    As far as I can tell, the Camera issue wasn't addressed.  It takes awhile for the Trouble Ticket to work it's way through the system, so maybe they didn't get it in time for this update. [...]"

  • HT1338 Is the only way to get a software update through the Apple Store where you have to give a credit card?  I thought system updates are free.  I don't want to leave a credit card number with Apple.

  • Software update for the iPod Nano 6th Gen

    Is there gonna be any software update for the iPod Nano 6th Gen for video playback??

    Re: Software update for the iPod Nano 6th Gen
    There is already new hardware for the nano (7th Generation) and it would take a hardware modification to put video on the 6th Generation Nano so no speculation was needed, Carl had the correct answer.
    My Original iPod Nano received updates beyond it's generation, there is no reason to conclude this would not be possible for other models and generations. Why would the iPod Nano 6G need a hardware modification for video playback? It already can do analog composite video output for viewing slideshows with music and transitions on a TV and can handle full photo resolutions. The iPod Nano 6G seems more than capable from a hardware perspective of video playback, it's just that the screen is tiny small for viewing video realistically for any length of time with comfort. That can be rectified by using the onboard TV out feature, though battery life might be miserable. It has nothing to do with the release of the iPod Nano 7G.

  • Software update for the Samsung Charge

    I am on my third Charge.......I had a Droid, and a Droid X and loved the Droid X with very few problems. However I have had nothing but problems with my Charge.......each of the charges had the same problem.......I would keep getting a pop up message stating I needed network connection even though I was showing 4 bars.  I could take out the battery and it would work for a while and then I would have to take out the battery again....finally taking out the battery didn't work any more.  I am in a 3G area so when I went in to the Verizon store it worked for them......so I left then it dawned on me that in the store we were on 4G......do I went back in and sure enough on 3G it did not work.  They went through all the check points with their tech and sure enough nothing worked and so ...my third phone!  
    All this to ask "When are we gettiing an update for the Charge?  We pay a lot of money for these phones and I expect them to work......at least timely bug fixes!!!  We do not have a land line so it is important that my phone works in a dependable manner and considering the cost I don't think that is asking too much!
    Does anyone know when an update is coming out for the Charge?

  • Will there come a software update for the "older" ipods?

    Hi all, will there come a software (firmware?) update for the new menu of the Ipod Video?
    I have an Ipod video 60Gb and I'm really happy with it, but I found out that the newest ipods have some extra functionality in menu structure, which enhances the search.
    Thanks for your answers!

    Thank you for your answer.
    Well, they might not have had the possibility then...
    Maybe it's just one of those features that were invented later...
    My wife has an Ipod Mini and it has less menu possibilities than my ipod video...
    I have posted the request, but as stated it will be very unlikely that they will answer the request.
    Thanks anyway, ipod is really the best!
    Best regards, Jean Loyens, Belgium
    Unlikely. If Apple had wanted this feature for older
    iPod videos, they would've implemented it in the last
    update.
    However anything is possible so if you want it,
    suggest it to Apple here.

  • HT1212 I used If you have never synced... but it didn't work for new iPod 5... 2 times tried downloading software update for the iPod and after the download is ready nothing happens.. and no directions after the last step (no button only to Restore)

    need complete instructions to do the factory reset... or should I go to the Apple Store to get some help?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • When will there be a software update for the Media Hub?

    1. Many issues related to playing media types - Need updated or increased CODEC's - Flash, MPG, Divix, WMP should ALL play. Why don't you put ALL the CODEC's in???? 
    2. Support for iTunes playlists.  This should be a basic funtion.
    3. Funtion to get rid of duplicates as common sense tells you that he Media Hub will see your iTunes LIbrary and the built in function of "Import" creates duplicates.
    4. Support for better identification of iTunes related Album artwork.  It's there! Wht does the Media Hub not see it as iTunes does?
    5. Larger buffer options to cut back on load times for large libraies of photo files. Don't mind giving up some disk space for this too or using an external mem card! 
    6. Better Sony Play Station support as SP3 sees files as not compatible, yet plays them and not others. 
    7. When can we expect some form of software update?
    8. Does the Media Hub (405) run faster with a single drive if you turn off the two drive option?

    1. You have to understand that it would be close to impossible to place all the codecs in one device. As some codecs requires DRM.
    2. I'm not sure what codec you are after in itunes since M3U is supported by the media hub. Supported File Types for the Built-In Media Player in the NMH
    3. I strongly agree with you in this one. Duplicate files using the Import Tool should be automatically be removed. That's why I don't use the Import Tool anymore instead I just use the NTI Shadow when transferring files automatically to the hub.
    4. The media hub uses AMG Server to look for album artworks. But the last upgrade of the firmware allows you to use your album arts without the interference of the AMG Server but the art must be tagged on the media file.
    5. I agree with you on this one as well.
    6. I always keep in mind that not all devices works as what we expect it to be. So better just bear with the Play Station support until we get some updates.
    7. Only LinksysbyCisco can answer that. LoL
    8. The media hub functions the same way regardless whether you are running on 2 drives or 1. But of course, there will be some minor differences on Read and Write performance when running on RAID 1 since both the drives will have to read and write the same files into it making the processor double its work.

  • Is it possible for Apple to make one more software update for iPod Touch 3G to fix the music library?

    My iPod Touch 3G is running ios 5.1.1 and the music library isn't aphabetical. It's all messed up. I could post a picture if needed. I wanted to see if Apple could create a ios update just to fix this.

    I doubt it. Based on past experience once Apple stops updates for a mode iPod there are no more. This is based on the 1G and 2G iPods.
    You are not addressing Apple here. We are all just users like yourself.
