Anyone else find iOS 6 ugly?

So we all know apple maps is an epic fail, but I've not seen anyone comment on the UI as such. I really don't like the look of the music player anymore, looks very bland all in grey and looks very old hat, like windows mobile 6 or something. Also I don't like the different colour bars and don't like the look of the new phone keypad either.
Does anyone else feel the same?

Not only is iOS 6 not as visually stimulating as it used to be, it's also lost out on a lot of functions that were essential to those with an iPhone. For instance, most of us with an iPhone are having to restore our phones to factory settings as the Call Waiting function has been turned off.
I understand that some people like things and some people don't, but why can't Apple at least give us options?

  • After upgrade on OS and Safari 7.1 I can no longer do 2 finger scrolling.  Anyone else find this bug in upgrade?

    After upgrade to 10.95 OS and Safari 7.1 I can no longer do 2 finger scrolling.  Anyone else find this bug in upgrade?  If so, ideas on how to fix it?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Anyone else finding it impossible to get iCloud to work? My software is up to date on my three Apple devices, I'm logged in to my account - and nothing synchs. Any ideas??

    Anyone else finding it impossible to get iCloud to work? My software is up to date, I'm looged in to my account but nothing synchs across my Mac Mini, Mac Air and iphone 4s. I've tried all the trouble shooting solutions without success. Any ideas out there? 

    Hi
    My iCloud works perfectly across my MBA, iPhone 4, iPad Mini etc.  I did find it easier when starting to set things up to start with one item to sync. 
    I started with Reminders and went through all the General settinsg as well as Reimnder specific settings.  Then just parlayed that process into each app I wanted to sync.
    Happy to help out if you want to get started.
    Iphone
    1.  Settings
    2.  Icloud (ensure your apple id is correct)
    3.  Reminders = on
    MBA (connected to the Net through wireless)
    1.  Settings
    2.  Icloud (ensure apple id id corect and the same as on your iphone)
    3.  Calendars and Reminders = On
    Type a new reminder on your MBA...
         -  your iphone should be updated.  My iphone updated in less than 1 sec after I keyed it into my MBA
    Let me know if this works

  • Does anyone else find the scroll bars too narrow.

    Does anyone else find the scroll bars too narrow?  I have to select them several times.  Otherwise, I love OS X Lion

    Correction YOU need. I am glad to see them gone. Forgotten all about them, so please don't speak for everyone.
    So Lion is still Broken… and Mountain Lion does not seem the fix the issue either…
    Lion is not broken, you are simply having a lot of trouble adjusting to it and trying to forget your old habits. Lion is fine. And Mountain Lion not applying the 'fix' you believe is required does not bode well for your future usage and thus reverting to Snow Leopard may be your only hope of regaining these outdated features.

  • Has anyone else downloaded iOS 7 on a 4S and found the WiFi and Bluetooth don't work anymore?

    I'm used to Apple products that "just work", but I'm not seeing it with the installation of iOS 7 on my phone (4S). I installed it earlier today, and the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth worked for about an hour, then just quit working altogether. The WiFi button is grayed out in Settings, and Bluetooth dosen't even display a button (all I get is a throbber that continuously spins). Trying to activate them through the "swipe-up" command center doesn't do the trick, and resetting the network settings also accomplishes nothing. Several reboots later, and I still don't have WiFi and Bluetooth.
    Has anyone else experienced this, and is there a solution? I may just decide to eschew iOS 7 and restore my pph

    After multiple attempts to restore and reboot, I finally decided to take a trip to my local AT & T store. They contacted Apple, and I explained the situation. I ended up moving to the iPhone 5, as my 4S was in the renew period. The 4S is still under warranty, so all I have to do is bring it to an Apple Store, where they will either fix or replace the phone. Looks like one of my kids will be getting a 4S :-)

  • Anyone else find the more you use your iPad professionally the more of a pain it becomes?

    I love my iPad2 and my iPhone 4 but lately i've found more uses for my iPad from a professional point of view and have tried to take advantage of this by using it for work.  I'm self employed and i use my ipad and iphone to take photos, formulate quotes/estimates and email them to the clients, display my portfolio and PDF's of brochures......etc.  The thing that winds me up is needing an app to do everything.  It all just seems very messy now.  It didn't bother me when all i was doing was browsing the Web and sending emails but now i'm actually using it properly to do proper things the whole way in which it functions is awfully messy and a bit of a ball ache.
    For example;
    I take a photo with my iphone of a property that requires scaffolding.....i want to transfer it to my ipad so i can edit the photo with some annotations, lines and arrows and then send it via email to the scaffolding company i use.
    This is a majorly long drawn out process.  Take photo with iphone.........enable app on iphone and ipad for file transfer, select transfer via bluetooth, photo sends at a painfully slow rate, find photo in ipad, open in editing app, edit photo, save photo, open photo in email program........etc.  It just takes ages.
    Why are functions such as transferring files and photos between iphone and ipad with the same OS not part of the basic functions of the OS.....why the **** would you want an app for that?  I'd like to be able to pair my devices once and then be able to transfer anything i like by either pushing it from one device to the other or pulling it from one device to the other.  Having to put one device in send mode and the other in receive mode seams a slow and backwards way around of doing things.  File transfer was quicker between devices years ago.
    The ipad is an amazing piece of tech and works really nice but moving files around and actually carrying out productiive work on it is majorly clunky and messy.  Anyone else agree?  Lets hope iOS5 sorts this out.

    Cheers for that. Unfortunately not available yet though. Looks like it might make things easier.  From what i can gather though it will still require 3g or wi-fi connection to sync everything up. I'm assuming that if i take a photo at a clients house and then want to email it immediately to someone from my ipad it wont instantly be available on my ipad?  I'd just like to be able to send photos' between my apple products without needing to do 20 screen taps:)
    Looks like iOS5 might bring us a little closer to a fully functional tablet.

  • Anyone else experience iOS 8 iPad issues with multitasking gestures?

    I've had several instances where the multitasking gestures do not respond on my iPad mini.  When using the 4-finger swipe up (equivelent to double click the home button), instead of entering the multitasking view, the visible app senses me trying to scroll.  I tried this gesture from the Settings app in landscape mode and both sides of the app scrolled.  Restarting my iPad fixes this issue temporarilly.
    On another occasion, while trying to switch between apps by swiping left to right with 4 fingers, SpringBoard crashed and restarted.
    Anyone else seeing these kinds of issues?  How best to report to Apple?

    Yes, I have this on an iPad Air after updating to IOS 8. The pinch option seems to randomly quit working. It you go to Settings and turn off Multitasking Gestures, leave Settings, and go back in to Settings and re-enable Multitasking Gestures it works again for a while but will then randomly quit again. It seems like it is only the pinch option that quits working.
    I have found that when I have the problem I can pull down the Notification screen, or pull up the settings screen using the one finger swipe up or swipe down option and then the pinch options works again. Since I found this circumvention and don't have to toggle the setting it is not as annoying, but I still wind up trying to pinch multiple times before I realize it has quit working so I agree this should be fixed soon.

  • Does anyone else find that the new firefox 4 sucks? How do I get back the old one?

    I upgraded to the new firefox 4 and I HATE it... I tried to uninstall it, and lost all my bookmark tabs, and then I tried to install the old firefox but couldn't, it only allows me to use the new one, which is also slowing down my laptop big time! Has this happened to anyone else?

    I've not had any problems with Firefox 4 being slower, but I've never been so disappointed with a program in years. I went back to 3.6.16 and it's much more stable. I'm an attorney and use the Bankruptcy Court websites daily--literally, hourly--and 4 crashes on them repeatedly, will not download mailing matrices, will not print claims registers, or literally do ANYTHING as well as 3.6 did. If a browser won't do that, then it's worthless to me. We HAVE to have stable programs, and everything now in the Federal courts nationwide has to be electronic filing. I've tried all the tricks I know (and I've been a computer user and builder ever since Win 3.1) and nothing saved it. I finally uninstalled 4, did NOT offload my user profiles, and they all picked up again on 3.6.16. I don't plan on going back to 4--ever.

  • Anyone else find Leopard slow?

    Is it just me or is Leopard so slooow?
    I have a dual core MacPro with a gig of ram.
    Radeon X1900 video card with 30 and 23 inch cinema displays (I found the firmware update for that and updated it)
    World of Warcraft for example is virtually unplayable it is so slow.
    Luckily I had a full back up HD that I can boot from in Tiger.
    Anyone else think Leopard is slow?
    Looking forward to Cheetah

    i'd have to agree. EVERYTHING on my macbook pro got slower. whether we're talking about restarting, starting, logging in, opening stuff,...just everything is slow. i dunno what to do.. hopefully there will be some software updates. i think that EventAgent thing should be adressed too. thats person up there^ isnt the first person i've heard talking about that. so yea. just keep your fingers crossed and hope there is some nice software updates coming our way.

  • Anyone else finding iCloud to be less than stellar?? It is slow and scrolling through my mail is absolutely painful.

    Hi everyone - I've been an Apple fan for a very long time. Had one of the original iMacs. I have found iCloud to be one of the worst products that Apple has put together and am ready to discontinue the service. Just today I could not even get to my mail from my work PC. Scrolling through email is slow and "sticky" for lack of a better word. Is anyone else experiencing this with iCloud?
    Thanks.
    Liz

    Glad you found a solution on your own! Your predicament sounds like an IP address conflict: your Mac and your iPhone competing for the same IP address in your DHCP lease; your router can satisfy one, or the other, but not both at the same time. Happened to me, and I had to renew the DHCP lease from System Preferences/Network while trying to connect both devices to the Internet at the same time; no more problems since then, but it all depends on the way your router handles simultaneous requests to the Web.

  • Anyone else find Google Apps or Gmail stopped working this week?

    I'm using Google Apps for push email on my iPhone, and it's been working just fine...until this week. Not only does it no longer push, but even when I manually refresh/check mail within the iPhone's Mail client, it doesn't work. Meaning it doesn't update the emails AT ALL. I can verify this by logging in through Safari, and seeing that I have all kinds of emails in my inbox that aren't showing on the iPhone. I can read and work with them fine, archive them into folders/labels, and so on. Going back to the iPhone and refreshing, again the list is the same...hours old even.
    This has been going on for three or four days now. Rebooting the iPhone doesn't help. Turning off push and switching to 15 minute interval checks doesn't work. The only thing I can do to get the iPhone to fetch mail correctly is to delete the Google account entirely from the phone, and then set it up all over again. That works for a few minutes, and then iPhone is once again no longer able to received pushed emails or even to fetch a correct set of current emails.
    Anyone else having this problem??
    Dan

    I suppose Google Apps chokes on nested labels/folders. Once I removed all the nests and made a single-level hierarchy, the problem went away consistently and permanently.

  • Anyone else finding Itunes 8 really unresponsive?

    Ever since installing itunes 8 whenever I click any link in the store I'm left waiting for something to happen, sometimes 10 seconds, sometimes indefinately. I often have to click a link a few times to get anything. Also the tooltip that pops up when you hover the cursor over a link is flickering continuously.
    Anyone else getting this?

    Yes... I am seeing the same thing. The thing you and I have in common that the other guy who responded doesn't is that we are both using Vista (he's on a Mac).
    It is annoying slow. Click on link in the store (like the next page arrow in the Apps store) and nothing happens. Click.... nothing... CLICK!!!!! CLICK!!!!! Finally!
    Frustrating.

  • Anyone else find it stupid you can't cancel an order 5 hours later?!

    I ordered a computer yesterday only to find out my boyfriend ordered me one. So, i called customer service to cancel it and they wouldn't since it had already been processed. Bunch of Bull****. Unless my custom computer was already built,packed and shipped in those 5 hours there is no reason HP can not cancel the order i made. It seems like a waste of time/resources to put the computer together just so I can send it back to them to get a refund back to my credit card. if anyone knows any tips to get around this please let me know.

  • Is anyone else finding that the acceloromiter does not seem to work in some aps with iOS7

    Have recently (as most would have) upgraded to iOS7 on my iPad and iPhone, love it but I am find a few of my apps like eBay and remote do not rotate to landscape naymore. any one else with  this issue and is there a fix?

    As hunter9000 pointed out above, your code has syntax errors; are you even able to compile this?
    The braces "{" and "}" delimit classes, methods, and blocks ( including if/ while/ for etc ).
    Methods must be within classes i.e. after the opening brace and before the closing brace of a class.
    Similarly, statements and other blocks must be within the method.
    In your code, you have blocks simply floating about in your class, NOT allowed. They must be in a method. This is why proper indentation is important, anyone would be able to catch problem like this with just a quick glance.
    public void enter()
        {//opening brace for the enter method
            numberOfVisitors = numberOfVisitors + 1; //This takes the number of visitors adds it to itself and then adds 1
            totalFees = totalFees + fee; //This takes the fees of the day adds it to itself and then adds 12
    //    } //NO! You're closing the method too early. More content follows.
    //    { NO! You're making an unecessary block here
    //, reducing readability and potentially putting variables out of scope
            if(numberOfVisitors == 10)
            { //If the number of visitors = 10 then it should set isFull = True
              //opening brace for your if block
                isFull = true;
            }  //close the if block
    //        {//NO! again, unecessary block
            if (isFull)
            { //Once it is true the string should be shown to say that know more people can enter.
                System.out.println("The Exibition is currently full");
    //} extra brace from earlier
    }//close the methodClearer now?

  • Does anyone else find duplicate photos after loading on to macbook from a digital camera?

    Hi there,
    I've never noticed this before but whenever I load pictures from my digital camera two copies of the photo go into the "all images" folder in my finder. There is only one copy in iPhoto.
    Does anyone know how to prevent this as it will just take up space?
    thanks!

    Hi, I know its no help, but i have just noticed the same thing... using daisydisk, i notticed my pictures take up just over twice the room on my Hdd than the size of my pictures folder. As this file is 110GB it would be nice to shrink it if possible.
    So if anyone has any further help on this, it would be great....Cheers
