Amazing the little things that are missed

I admit, it's the little conveniences that I miss in 6.0.
I miss being able to play a file before opening it. Helpful when you have a mass of sound effects to choose from. Leaves01, Leaves03, Leaves03. (Yes, you can do that through right-click and spawning a player, but it was nice to have it native.)
Am I just not seeing it or is there no longer a way to right-click and zoom to the tracks you want to see in multitrack?

Hi Lighthope,
The ability to preview files before opening them is available within the Media Browser panel, in addition to placing shortcuts to commonly accessed locations, searching within a folder, drag or insert directly into multitrack or CD sessions, and other functionality. You can choose to manually play, auto-play on select, and loop playback. This functionality has also been added to the Files panel.
The Au3 style of preview in the OS Open Files dialog was very hacky and delicately implemeted on Windows XP, but Windows 7 and OS X no longer made this functionality possible. Both OSs implemented methods to preview files from these dialogs without launching them. It was our intent with the Media Browser to implement a better system of browsing your sound effects from within the application, where we would have control over the implementation and would not be constrained by OS support.
As for your track zoom question, are you referring to the functionality where you right-click and drag on the vertical scroll bar in multitrack to zoom in? This functionality has not been implemented in Audition CS, but a task in our feature backlog exists to revisit track zoom. Currently you can zoom into tracks using the mouse scroll-wheel, ALT = (zoom in), ALT - (zoom out) or by dragging the border between tracks.

It's the little things that drive me crazy...

As I continue making the slow transition from Avid to FCP, little things that should be no-brainers continually trip me up. What can I do to keep my border intact and not lose it when I crop?
Secondly, why is it when I change the speed of a clip on the timeline does it stretch the clip out and push everything down (and vice-a-versa too)? I simply want to - in Avid terms - time warp it within the span of the timeline's clip.
Thanks gents,

Many have made the journey.
You have to leave your baggage at the door, FCP is a very different beast that will confound you to start with.
But you may learn to love many features and wonder why it is so hard on an Avid.
In any case,
the answer you are looking for lies in the order or computation in FCP.
Motion follows Filter.
So you need to work around this little order issue.
Crop the image or footage.
Then nest (under the Sequence menu),
Right click the nested clip in your timeline, select load in Viewer,
add your border.
Welcome to your first new way of thinking in FCP.
You'll find many more times you will wonder how people don't scream 10 times a day on FCP.
Then a years time you might use an Avid and ask "why can't I just import a 2000 pixel image and zoom with out it looking rubbish?"

It's the little things that bug me...

This is really a bit of a rant; though if someone can help to fix any of my problems that'd be great.
1. The way that all available midi notes in the entire song seem to appear on the Midi editor window (forget what it's called in Logic) if you double click on it (this must just be me, right??)
2. The way the scrolling works - if I have a loop of say four bars, Logic doesn't seem to be clever enough to realise it'd be nice if it didn't move the entire arrange page back and forward - that is; a loop which is small enough to fit on the screen doesn't automatically do that. And the follow song button seems to do nothing at times
3. The limiters - they don't work! I suffer awful PDC with the adaptive limiter on individual tracks, and neither of the limiters do what they're supposed to - ie. limit the signal!
4. When I solo one track, I always seem to get at least one other track through!
5. The CST reset toggle... it doesn't happen much, but when you do accidentally catch it you know about it... "undo", please!
So, I'm hoping these are easily fixed (well, probably not the limiter bit...) let me know your thoughts...
And this rant/mild whistleblowing isn't in place of a "feedback form" - I hope we can fix at least one of the problems!
Thanks,
Mickey.

If you mean the Matrix Editor, you're describing what dbl-clilcking in a blank area of that editor is supposed to do. But probably like you, it's rare that I ever want to see that display. From time to time I'll accidentally call up this display when I think I'm dbl-clicking on a note (to see it in an Event Editor window) but I accidentally click on a blank space in the Matrix Editor instead.
I think this function, so rarely needed, should be modified so that it's invoked by having to hold down a modifier key+dbl click instead. But if you see the all-notes display and you didn't mean to see it, it's pilot error.

True 'nuf. I'd recommend having the Catch function on a key command (mine's "A") and be able to turn it on and off as you see fit. Turning Catch off will solve this problem, but I agree that the problem you described is annoying.
3. The limiters - they don't work! I suffer awful PDC
with the adaptive limiter on individual tracks, and
neither of the limiters do what they're supposed to -
ie. limit the signal!
What's PDC?
4. When I solo one track, I always seem to get at
least one other track through!
I run into this too. Logic is buggy when it comes to certain Soloing operations. My advice would be to set up a key command for "deselect all tracks" or "deselect all objects" (it's one of those two). Hit this before you solo anything.
5. The CST reset toggle... it doesn't happen much,
but when you do accidentally catch it you know about
it... "undo", please!
CST?
And this rant/mild whistleblowing isn't in place of a
"feedback form" - I hope we can fix at least one of
the problems!
Since Apple is so secretive and un-communicative as a software manufacturer, and doesn't bother to acknowledge known and unknown issues with Logic, IMO the best thing you could do is post your problems here (as well as the feedback thing). This way other users will either be able to help you out, or, from your experience they'll learn something more about their system.
Anyway, that's my lil' rant on top of your rant.

The little things that make you go "grrr"

What minor issues get on your nerves? Perhaps we can all help each other out by airing our grievances.
For me the main thing has got to be that every update of firefox is slower and more leaky than the one before it. It used to be fast and smooth, now it regularly takes over 500mb of ram. I just love the extensions though

I know what you mean. It's most annoying on my eee where it tries to bring up eth0 during runlevel 1. Hangs the process for 1-2 seconds. Not much, but it's an annoyance.

Maybe try posting a thread with your driver info and the config file you tried to use? I thought netcfg was broken for me for the longest time before noticing I had a typo in the hex string for the key

You can configure a lot of this to be exactly like that using sudo and the SGID bit for certain binaries.
I'm annoyed at my eee 900 taking longer to get from bios to grub than from grub to login. I hear there's a bios update that can fix that, but I'm afraid to brick it. Anyone know how I can tell if I have the specific correct bios?

The little things that make you go 'ooh, nice'

One of the things I enjoy with rolling release and access to a lot of development software through aur is the new discoveries you make every so often when you roll out a new version.
I just updated bespin-svn and have to say 'ooh, very nice!'. Some changes, nothing dramatic, but enough to make the whole qt experience just that more polished.
I've generally shied away from using sudo because I prefer the root password for administrative task, not my way easy user pass. I just discovered you can set sudo to always prompt for root password. I am using sudo systemwide now and loving it. Much smoother to use now. Probably also a bit more secure as sometimes I can forget to exit root terminals when multitasking.

Not the way you meant the "oh nice" but oh well..
Haha! I saw you had posted in this thread and thought to myself "Dolby likes something! WOW!". Turns out you don't...
I like a lot of things. I just happen to dont express my likes as often as i express my dislikes, nor as often as i would like to express them, for various reasons, some of which are beyond my control.
Most people do nothing but praise and i ...dislike that.

It's the little things that counts...

I bought on contract a N78 two weeks ago
Good product, somewhat fancy
But I do miss my smashed Nokia 6233
Because, in the 6233 I could...
1. send text message to somebody from my recently used numbers, they did not need to be saved. With N78, that option is not there. And if I'm sending one person multiple text messages, I'll have to scroll to contacts for each and every text message sent...
2. Marking messages for deletion is now a small hassle. With the 6233, I could mark and unmark without navigating my way through a maze of choices
3. The keypads, I keep pressing many keys simultaneously - but I guess its because my paws are huge
Other than the above small differences , I'm happy with the phone, once again Nokia has not disappointed

bear in mind that N78 is a Series60 phone and 6233 is Series40, there are many differences in the messaging applications. I have N78 too and miss the convenience of what Series40 have in the messaging department, but am now used to Series60. N78 is good phone i agree
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

Why can't I find all the sites I have visited in my temp internet files? It used to show every site I visited. Now it doesn't and I cannot open the wierd things that are listed there. I don't have delete browsing or private browsing on.

OK...I want to see where other people on my computer have been.

That would fall under Browsing History. Firefox > History -> Show All History
Firefox doesn't use Temporary Internet Files for anything except Windows Media files.
Type '''about:cache''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />

Things that are driving me nuts in Lion

There are numerous little things that are driving me nuts in Lion and I decided to list them all in this one annoying thread rather than start a bunch of annoying threads. Maybe some of you have found solutions, maybe some of these things bug only me, but here they are. Feel free to chime in with your own items that are driving you nuts...
WIth multiple tabs open in Safari, clicking on a tab causes the page to reload from scratch instead of the page being cached
I really miss having double scroll arrows on the top and bottom of windows
Downloaded installers do not automatically launch and mount as in previous OS X versions
Can't find a way to specify where to download a file to on the fly when clicking on a link in Safari. other than the downloads folder or another default folder
Scrolling in general has become more difficult and less precise. I literally could not scroll down my list of mail messages to find an email I was looking for earlier
ICO (custom web page icons) disappear and revert to generic
That's all I can think of off the top of my head, I know there's more. I know some of this stuff will just take getting used to, but some of it sure seems like a step backwards......

Yes I've had a few little things annoy me too - but the MOST annoying thing (so far... 24 hours in!) is that itunes now seems to stop streaming to my express as soon as my screen saver comes on - ie: I have itunes going all day usually, just streaming to my speakers in another room that are connected to an airport express. This is all this AE is for... and under Snow Leopard there was never any stopping of music because my imac went to sleep, but now, even as soon as a screen saver comes on, the music stops. I don't *really* want to disable screensaver and get the imac to be 'awake' all the time, but I can't seem to find a workaround - anyone else?

Goodbye BT - It's the little things

Its the little things that matter so much. Like not sending you your introductory voucher, sending you promises it will be in the post. Putting up prices arbitrarily. **bleep** you off the most. Charging if you don't pay direct debit and then helping yourself. Adding a couple of quid for paper billing and going e-mail without your consent. Telephone help in India where the people works-in-dark-in-early-hours-of-the-morning-very-helpful-to-tell-you-what-I-am-reading-off-the-scre...en. Raising the prices again. Giving you the opportunity to subscribe to special offer discount that isn't and tie you into a new contract for 24 months. Minefield of options when you call then hangs up after ad nauseam please-hold Smetana's Má vlast. Goodbye BT. I hope it is the last. FFFFFFFF-rown. Disconnect fee. Keeping paid in advance charges. Not our policy to give you a refund. Now you see the cockroaches in the contract. Pull the plug and leave you high and dry. Deny you pulled the plug and keep the billing going - that's Technical We're accounts. It shows you are still contact on our computer. We must be right. It is the little things.

Spot on JSTTESCONET !
The only thing I'd disagree with you about is these are Big things not Little things.
It must be so depressing working for BT and knowing that they have such an appalling reputation. My heart goes out to their employees who need a job but can't find another employer.

How to avoid purchasing multiple things that are the same but different titles

How can I avoid purchasing multiple things that are the same but have multiple names but is the same purchase for the same use?

"Things"? What things? Apps for keeping track of when to change cat litter? 30 different versions of "twinkle, twinkle little star" played by everything from punk rockers to Gregorian chant? Videos on the best way to make Christmas cake?

The "Search" function box doesn't find things that are there! Why?!

The "Search" function box doesn't find things that are there! Why? Eg: It doesnt show all my Sent and Received emails, but it will find an email that I half wrote and deleted. Unsure why or how to explain more fully.
I also don't understand if I type in "James email" or "J" into the search box and all the J / James stuff appears but it doesn't show the emails I know have been sent and I know are somewhere because I rang "James" up to check, but the search box shows random thing I am NOT looking for, even if I type in fully what I am looking for and test it by typing in full titles of things.
It also doesn't store all my sent emails in "Sent" box. Confused! I'm not sure if the "Search" box just isn't up to the job or if it is broken / i'm doing something wrong? Maybe the email address I use isn't set up properly?

This can happen sometimes if the cache is not cleared correctly when items are not deleted from your device.
The only solution to this is to do a restore to clean out the cache file.

Apple Tv (3rd generation) says it is connected (via ethernet), but none of the app, or channels, will work. They all say they are unvailable, try again later. The only thing that seems to work is iTunes. (I live in a dorm if that helps)

Its not properly connected to the network. Most school networks require login via webpage, which isn't possible as ATV has no browser. You will need to contact the IT dept or the network provider.

HT4410 I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7

Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple

It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly.

My computer had to be repaired and i lost some of my purchases. my purchase history does not include the ones that are missing and the ones that do appear indicate they are free purchases. none of my purchases are free i paid so how do a recover them?

asuming you are talking about the app store try signing into your account using your apple id into the app store.

Restart your phone by holding the power and home button until the Apple logo appears. If that does not solve the issue contact your cell provider so they can resolve the issue.
