Adobe can support pentax why not apple?

I just downloaded a beta of lightable from adobe
which supports my pentax raw format. If Adobe can
support pentax, why not apple? It seems as though
aperture is playing poor catchup, maybe apple to put
more resources on it.
Image if only 1/3 of the cameras were supported when
Iphoto launched, they would have looked like idiots.
Well?
In very simple terms...
In order to add support for various camera RAW files, Apple has to ask the camera manufactures to supply proprietary information about how to process and read the RAW files. Each and every single camera has a different "proprietary process" it must use to handle the RAW file that the camera produces.
So that means that Apple is at the mercy of the manufacturers in order to get that information. Now most manufactures would prefer that you purchase or use their own software to work on the RAW files that their camera produces... it's an extra revenue stream for them. Because of this, it's not hard to imagine that they are a bit reluctant to divulge what is proprietary information that they spent time and money on creating. It's well documented that Nikon in particular is very reluctant about releasing such information.
If Adobe has support for a particular camera that Apple does not, then that means that Adobe has already gone through the trouble of asking the manufacturer for the information that is needed, reached an agreement and signed the appropriate licensing contracts, exchanged whatever compensation was agreed upon, and then went to work making the software for ACR so it can read that particular cameras RAW files. As you can imagine, it's a process that takes some time to hammer out... more than likely because it involves more lawyers than engineers!
So... be sure you let Apple know that you would like them to add support for a particular camera, but just as important, make sure that your cameras manufacturer knows that you would like them to allow Apple to support their cameras with Apple's software.

HT204387 iPAD mini iOS 6.1 can pair keyboards, why not the Magic Mouse?

I need to access a site that requires click & drag with my iPad Mini. Has anyone figured out a work-around to get the MAGIC MOUSE to pair with the iPAD Mini? I am having trouble understanding why it won't pair. Can Apple make an update to iOS 6.1 to include the MM? It already can pair many other Bluetooth accessories, why not mice?

Thank you KPenguin. I understand now, though I still can't 'click & drag' items in Kano games. The 2 second hold that works for rearranging app icons doesn't seem to work. Guess I'll be returning my new MMouse, which is a shame. I was looking forward to playing around with all it's cool features! :)
Note to self: Mouse needs active cursor to work! Haha (it's a duh moment here!!) o.O

Can anyone explain why my Apple Wireless mouse annoyingly disconnects every 4 or 5 minutes or so? It then remains disconnected for about 20 seconds before reconnecting again? Batteries are good but at a loss ... worked fine for year!

Can anyone please explain why my Apple wireless mouse keeps disconnecting from my imac? The batteries are good and the mouse in good clean order. Never had an issue previoulsy but now every 4 or 5 minutes the mouse diconnects and takes 20 seconds or so to connect again. Anyone else experienced this one?
Thanks
Jon.

Some folk have reported a similar issue apparently caused by the batteries being a bit loose in their box. The suggested fix for that is to insert a thin piece of cardboard between the battery cover and the batteries.

Why isn't there a theme selection for apple products they should atleast give us the choice to choose what look we want on our phones come on every other phone brand has it why not apple ?!!

When will there be an update to give Iphone users the options to change there themes/skins and text design ?!! Every other smartphone brand had the feature why not iPhones ? Maybe this is why people are complaining that iPhones look boring !

What people? I have no issue with IOS 7, neither do the 30 plus people at my work, who I suggested to update to ios 7.0.4, and these are people from the ages of 20+ to 60+....

Adobe DPSSE for Android -- Why not?

Can someone please help me understand why the refusal to offer this for Androids? Is Adobe in an exclusive Apple contract or similar? Please do not respond with stupid suggestions like "buy an apple". We have costs concerns and not every company can afford to pump extra dollars in a platform because it's trendy, cute, and expensive.

They don’t offer for iPhone either. It’s iPad only. For starters on android you are limited to 50 megabyte apps.
I understand that Twixl has a method for getting around this. You might want to check them out because Adobe has pretty much said they have no plans to offer this.

At 60 and totally confused w/version . Not clue with how to use it and how to change it. My question - If a new version of i-tunes can be offered why not the older version as being a choice? Too simple or just impossible to do? I hate to drop i-tunes.

At 60 years of age and totally challenged by todays technology I find it impossible to understand i-tunes Version 11. Don' ask me to try to try go back to a earlier version ( as much as I would like to). I have read some of the advice given, as well as intended as it is, I don't understand the process. I don't want to drop i-tune but I will. I am sure my library is not as large as many others who use it but it is just as important to me. This really saddens me.
I do have two question if some one can help me. First, someone mentioned that if I go to previous restore point this might correct it. Yes or no? Secondly, if Apple can offer us a new version to download why can't they offer an older version to download. Too simple or impossible to do.

You can still drag and drop a song into a Playlist, in the same manner as before. Simply use the left-click of your mouse to select-and-hold the song (left-click-and-hold, don't release the click) and drag it to and then drop it (release the click) into the Playlist you want. (You cannot drop it into a Smart Playlist, you can only drop it into a Regular Playlist.)
... and here's a screenshot dragging the song "Lazy Orbit" into the Regular Playlist "Sat 4th June 2011". A small + symbol also appears in the drag, but it doesn't show up on screenshots. If the move is forbidden, a red slash through a red circle appears instead of the + symbol.
As for the Albums thing; in the Column Browser, right-click anywhere in the Column Browser header (see my screenshots in my previous post) and a menu appears. Deselect Albums on that menu to remove Albums from the upper Columns:
... and for the columns underneath (with the songs list etc.), right-click on that header bar and once again, deselect Albums from the menu that appears. The Albums column will then be removed from the lower columns list.

You would think with all the complaints they are getting they would want us, the buyers, to be satisfied with there product.
Well, my advice to you is: do not think about what you think iTunes cannot do, instead, think about what you want to achieve - and then work out how to achieve it.

Adobe: Can you either 1) not update so frequently or 2) fix the acceptance processing for it?

I've just waded through many, many pages of entries to find if anyone has asked this and haven't found a precise match so please forgive me if I am (re)covering something of this specific nature.
This is addressed to Adobe itself, having found no other way to contact them directly due to time/location/etc or an email address, and it is, I guess rhetorical: more something to be acted upon if possible than requiring an explicit textual response.
Judging by a google of related questions (and the auto-complete bringing up, for example "why does adobe update so much?") it is obviously something that doesn't just effect me. I DO wish to have an up-to-date version of Flash Player and PDF Reader, etc, but I find the way it is handled by Adobe to be incredibly intrusive and annoying.
1) IF you really do need to make so many updates, it suggests, if I may say, something is amiss in your software development lifecycle - ie concentrating on getting things right before release. IF you don't, then please reduce their frequency.
2) IF you do need to make the updates (and in fact even if you don't), please can you do *something* about the user-interface / process of managing their installation for the end-user? I've lost count of the number of times I've given it the go-ahead and then gone off to do something else, only to return to find a dialogue box has popped up (probably right as I turned my back) to ask for further verification, and not just once either. In addition I'm getting advised of things that I believe either were never a problem or are no longer a problem, contrary to this advice. I guess my suggestion would be to try to deal with any and all of these things, where in fact they are indeed necessary, at ONCE - one dialogue box, one break in the line of thought that probably prompted the user to turn on the computer in the first place.
This is one of those things that I'm amazed has persisted for as long as it has: at least a year or two, perhaps several. For me personally, and I suspect for many others, it's one of the more frustrating events of regular computer use. Please, please, can you do something to resolve it?
Thank-you.
Regards,
Chris

Thanks Jeff. Yes, it did give me that option, but I chose not to take it as I prefer to a) retain control over what gets onto my hard-drive and when, and b) be able to have an idea of my bootup time (ie if in a hurry to do something, be able to put off a new update until a later time.)
But the second point of my original post still stands - if it was possible to compile the two or more points of interaction via dialogue boxes, into one (eg yes, I want to install; yes, I agree with the terms; yes, please leave my install as manual; go!) it would be greatly appreciated. That way you avoid the scenario resulting from slower computers and/or internet connections where the user gives the process the go-ahead, goes off to do something else, returns to do what they have to do on the computer and finds it's been sitting there waiting for more input and therefore still not fully booted and ready to use.
Thanks very much for the explanation!

In PR only base uom can be used - Why not order unit ?

Hi All,
When I create PR for raw material, SAP by default takes the base UOM. But our stack holders wants to use Order unit in the PR.
What is the setting required to use order unit in PR.
If this can't be done - what is the note number to support this standpoint from SAP.
Please reply.
Regards,
Raj.

Hi Rahul,
Base unit : KG
Order Unit: Meter
Currently all the raw materials planning is done outside SAP. Hence the planners raise raw material PR to procurement dept for processing.
Typical PR will have anything from 10 to 25 rawmaterial numbers in it.
Then again they manually cenvert the required order unit to base unit for PR purpose.
Thanks,
Raj.

If an iPod can play it, why not my Mac?

I can understand that my 533MHz G4 is getting long in the tooth, but I gotta think it's got way more processing power than an iPod. So how come the iPods can play the new hi-res videos but anything less than a 1GHz G4 can't keep up?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately not.

We can group apps why not emails in the same way

It would make so much cense to be able to group e-mails in the same way we group apps by simply holding an e-mail than when it shakes we would drag other emails into it to form a group. Would that make cense ?

Open the Mail app. Tap on an account. Tap Edit in the upper right. Then New Mailbox in the lower right. Name your folder, and then it's created.
Then you can find a mail that you want to add to the folder, click this , and select the folder to add it to.

I was wondering if anybody can tell me why the new Apple iPhone 5 is $600 AUD/US more expensive in Australia than the US??? Please explain somebody?

I was wondering if anybody can tell me why the Apple IPhone 5 is $600 US/AUD more expensive in Australia than in the US!
thanks

Thanks for the reply - I still know that this issue is also relevant for so many other apple products which don't involve cellular providers.... I think Australians are tired of paying so much more for things than in the US and other countries. It used to be explained by the poor Australian dollar but that doesnt exactly work when we are over parity with the US dollar and have been for a while now....

I have a valid Licence, but Adobe can't [insert expletives here] find it

I bought a full single copy of web premium CS4. I upgraded to web premiums CS5.0, CS5.5 (which contained a copy of Flash Builder 4.5 premium) and now CS6 web & design (which has dropped FB now confusingly)
That is the history lesson over. If I have a serial number for FB4.5 premium from CS5.5, then, surely, I have a full licensed copy.
Now. When I tried to upgrade to 4.6 from 4.5, it was such a bloody awful mess that I thought I would try to buy the upgrade from the adobe store just to get it over with. I paid £38.00 I think, but of course this was just to upgrade a standalone product. Not one that came with CS5.5, so it didn't work.
I returned the upgrade.
Now Adobe only sees this returned upgrade as my only access to the product. The support folk refuse to be Sherlock Holmes and are even unaware that FB was brifly bundled with CS5.5.
What the .... am I supposed to do to get to 4.7???
This is what happens when the marketing people make such blunders with Premium, Standard, flex, flash builder, bundled and standalone.
I woke up to the words HELP ME on raised bumps on my stomach this morning

I have been back to support. Afterr getting them to acknowledge that CS5.5 did indeed have flash Builder 4.5 Premium bundled with it, they said that I was ineligible as it was not a 'point' product. I asked what a point product was and I was told I was being moved up to another support queue, but in fact I was just pushed sideways before being released back into a disgruntled community.
Now I am the one who is fully activated. I will not stop until someone at Adobe can tell me why I am ineligible for a part upgrade release [4.6 to 4.7] when I have a full product serial number for 4.5.
Does this mean that when any product is part of a CS studio bundle, that upgrades can be made ineligible because it is not a 'point' product? What next? Photoshop, InDesign?
I just think that the whole Flex, Flashbuilder marketing bungle's legacy is raising its ugly face in the form of incompetent and short sighted licensing and upgrade management.
So what is the answer?

Why not develop a "mouseless" and "barless" Lion

With watching the Mac Lion Video, I just found mouse is not very imoportant as old days; And, like watching the video, all the sidebars top/bottom the window can be hiden - why not develop a mouseless Lion and a new gesture to show/hide bars?

I get where you're coming from considering this is a $200+ purchase on top of the monthly plans, but they are free. Most phones don't come with headphones let alone a headset. If you're really that serious about audio, you may want to look into some Klipsch or Sennheiser cans. If you want to keep it in the Apple family, they do make a $79 in-ear headset which is better than the free ones. BUT, the standard headset is free. You don't have to use it.

Why Not Windows 7?

I got Snow Leopard so I could load Windows and use my Mac as a render Satellite for 3D software that does not run on OSX. Snow Leopard can load XP, why not Windows 7? What genius made that decision?

Please see my post above about running Win7 on my MBP perfectly since Oct. 3 when I got my copy from Technet. No driver problems whatsoever. Just installed the Leo drivers and updated to an NVIDIA driver. Now, I am running Sno, of course.
[And, use this thread to sort out what's being said correctly and incorrectly about Sno, Boot Camp, and Win7. Everyone interested should want to read the pages I linked in this thread as "one," "two," and "three"|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10459278&#10459278]. There is too much wrong being said about Sno Boot Camp, and Win7.
