Apple, please bring back USB sync for iTunes

The title says it all.
I don't use iCloud, nor am I willing to.
Removing a feature that users use is simple poor customer support.
APPLE, PLEASE BRING BACK USB-only SYNC FOR CALENDAR EVENTS, ETC...
stp

SyncServices has been deprecated (ie will be removed in a future update) since Lion was released two years ago. It was a horrible solution wrought with errors, so they went to an open standards based system, CalDAV and CardDAV.
While Apple may be able to enable a local CalDAV and CardDAV server, I really doubt they will restore the old SyncServices debacle.
Since we are not employed by Apple, and we have no contact with Apple, we can't do anything to bring back the features you want. You'll have to contact Apple for that.

Apple please bring back PRINT VIEW in Numbers

The one thing that makes me use Numbers from Excel is PRINT VIEW where I can see immediately where my page ends, why would Apple take this away? It is the most frustrating thing when Apple adds a feature, we get used to it, love it then they bluddy take it away.... Im now looking at Microsoft Office Suite instead untill they can bring this back - or at least the older version of Numbers.
PLEASE APPLE STOP DOING THIS.... the idea is to ADD features and NOT take them away. Damnit !!!!

We're just fellow users here. In your menu try Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback.

Please bring back an option to Add Scroll Arrows!?

Mac OS X v10.7 Lion - has removed scrollbars and changed the direction of scrolling to better align with iphones, ipads, etc. Thankfully, there are options to go back to behavior similar to classic scrolling behavior, with one important exception. Unfortunately, scroll arrows are now completely gone. OUCH !
Through preferences one can make scrollbars be presented. Behavior can be based on the type of device being used, or scrollbars can be displayed all the time. I choose to display scrollbars all the time.
Through preferences one can make the scrolling direction go back to what one expects if one used Mac OS X versions prior to 10.7 Lion. When I'm scrolling content on my MacBook Pro, I'm either using devices that are not "embedded" in the display (the trackpad or the mouse). When others do scrolling say on an iPad, where the scrolling is directly on the screen, I get it that the direction is different. But don't change up and down so it will match a phone or tablet when I'm on a device where I'm doing indirect manipulation of window content.
To the core complaint... Scroll Arrows are Gone: I cannot get scroll arrows any more. Take a look at Mail or Safari. This is especially needed in Mail. I get lots of mail. I want to be able to scroll up and down by pages (yes there is another preference for this) using the scroll region. I can do that. But I also want to be able to scroll the window (say preview window, or mail message content window) by one line at a time. However, there is no option that I can find. Maybe I want to see the whole paragraph at the same time. Maybe I want to see a code fragment of 5-10 lines all at one time.
Some might say we should just use the up and down keys on the keyboard. I would like to do that. However, with Mail, Apple still has not provided the ability to move from message to message in the preview pane without MARKING THE MESSAGE AS READ ! Most email messages (like this one :-) are too long at least for quick browsing. When I use the up/down arrow to go from message 42 to message 49, then 42 thru 49 are marked as read, even though I can do this in a second or so with seven down-arrow presses. Certainly I can't read 7 real-life emails in a second. See below for a post two years ago requesting this feature which many Mail programs have, but which has never been added to Mac's Mail app:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1988930?start=15&tstart=0
    Marking "Read" When Viewing in Preview Pane
    ...Similar discussions occurred on 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6. Here we are on 10.7, but this request has been ignored...
Please bring back some method for turning on scroll arrows again! And yes, give the option for controlling whether they're stacked at bottom of scroll region, or for using the more common model of up arrow at top of region and down arrow at bottom.
Sadly, this is also a core behavior of Mac OS X 10.7. I have Chrome installed. It does not allow scroll arrows either.
So, Apple... Accept that you went too far. Bring back options to turn on scroll arrows.
...and go back and review that mail preview behavior too, while you're at it.
Thanks,
Alan Carwile

Alan,
while the two finger scrolling is a sometime substitute for scroll arrows it is completely inadequate as a full time solution. It is useless in programs like excel that can have multiple split screens and only scrolls in one at at time and there is no reliable way that doesn't affect other operations to tell the program what screen you want to scroll in. With scroll arrows I got arrows for each window when I split the screen. It is typical of apple's (and steve jobs) hubris that they would eliminate these. It's fine if you think it is more sleek efficient use of the screen not to have scroll bars, but why recognize the need for scroll bars and allow us to turn them on and not scroll arrows?.
Forgetting the split screen problem, on the large databases I have with 10s of thousands of records anything other than scroll arrows is unpredictable because the scrolling speed is dictated by the size of the database and the sideways scrolling with the track pad is clumsy.
The lack of compatability in Lion whether with programs or user interface speaks poorly of Apple and it is the first time in a long time I've thought I might be headed back to the dark side.
And I think they do this on purpose, to make people bend to their paradigm -- see Job's refusal for the longest time to let keyboards connect to the iphone.
And, I know I'm not speaking to apple here, I'm speaking to Apple users. Apple doesn't seem to care or think it can do any wrong and has had that attitude for a long time.

Please bring back the Modern Skype App for x86 devices

The desktop Application is unusable on small tablets, due to its fiddly controls, missing features and extremely high demand of system resources (RAM, CPU, etc.). It's sad to see Microsoft once again neglecting its creations (like you did with Zune). Especially, when theres no logical reason for it (RT users can still use the app, you're just blocking us out - it's the same codebase!). People, let them hear your voice. I know, many others share my point of view, but they won't change anything if they don't see any complaints!

Please bring back FXG 2.0 export for Flash Pro CC 2014

Hi Adobe,
Flash Pro CC now supports SVG 1.1 export, please bring back FXG 2.0 export as well, here is the reason why:
Flash Pro CC can mainly export to Flash Runtime Based Content and HTML/JS Based Content, right?
For HTML/JS Based Content, we can export SVG for use.
For Flash Runtime Based Content, we should export FXG for use, it makes perfect sense!
Anyone seeing this thread, please reply +1 to agree what I said.

Hello 周戈,
first, the most here are users of Adobe's products, not Adobe's employees, ok sometimes someone of Adobe's staff risks a glimpse here at random.
One way, which may prove promising to interest Adobe's development team is to use the "wishform" and maybe your "please bring back ..." can serve as a suggestion. Here at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform, where you will find this: "Use this form to request new features or suggest modifications to existing features."
Good luck!

APPLE PLEASE FIX MY IPOD SHUFFLE FOR ME !!!!

Ok i am starting to really get annoyed.
Every single time i have connected my iPod Shuffle to my computer (and i have own two computers within the last year) so i have switched to the newer one, so basically its not my PC's fault.
Every time i connect it, it messes something up. last time i tried to charge it, it froze my pc. I tried again, it kept on ejecting and reconnecting magically without even moving about. And i always connect the iPod to the REAR USB 2.0 ports that i have, and i have 6 of them.
So anyways, after RE-installing the latest software updater, and iTunes, and restarting, and trying a thousand times, i somehow managed to get songs on to the shuffle.
But now we have another problem. When put my ipod in SHUFFLE mode it goes alphabetically from A to B to C (artist wise), and when i put it in Normal mode which is supposed to go alphabetically, it goes randomly from A to D to Z to F, etc.
Also i have 68 songs on it, and somehow it managed to play the same 10 songs over and over and over, without me even turing it off... acting as if i only have 10 songs on the thing.
Its been less than a year i have own this, and i dont think i have AppleCare on it, since my Uncle bought this for me around April/May 2005.
PLEASE HELP, or APPLE PLEASE FIX MY IPOD SHUFFLE FOR ME!

<sarcasm>Here's a deal ... mail your iPod to me and I'll get it going again or, more likely, confirm that there's nothing wrong with the shuffle itself. That will take ........ ohh, I'm estimating a few minutes. Eventually, when I can find time in my busy schedule, I'll mail it back to you. Be sure to remind me to do that.</sarcasm>
Seriously, though — do I understand you correctly? You want everyone else to do your homework for you? Okay, fine ...
You've noticed the 101 Class .... but no, too busy for that. You could just go to the Troubleshooting page, I suppose, and get your question answered directly and who knows? Maybe that would have been more productive than writing up your three separate posts today. You will have to click one or two more times and read a little bit, granted, but I just did all of that in the middle of writing this reply to you.
Oh, right, I forgot .... too busy to find it. Here you go

Please bring back "Get All" podcast

Hi
I am not a happy that itunes 11 took out "get all" button
Please bring back "get all" button to itunes 11.
Clicking download button along each episode is tedious, if there is a long list and I want to get all missing episodes.

Okay, I just tried the button you said, and it does download all episodes
but the way it is done is not very obvious and is hidden or hard to tell that "get all" is still included in itunes.
I am sure many people would get confused that the button is missing.
Also list view is not very easy to find the exact button for see each show since it is just one long list of all shows.
If you have alot of podcasts, you need to scroll alot to find the exact show you are look for.
From my initial first look of your screenshot, I didn't think that the download button was different to all the other download buttons in that screenshot.
It doesn't standout.
With old method, you click on the particular show, and get all was available on that show.
This more better and efficient and easier to use, than needing to click list view, scroll through what could be a very long lists of all podcasts and then identify the exact download button (since it doesn't stand out).
I think they should put back "get all" button next to the subscribed button in the normal podcast view for each podcast show.
It makes it easier to see and use.
Considering that apple is all about simplicitiy and easy to use, this method is not very easy to use, hard to tell that it even exists and inefficient.

Please bring back "save as" !

what happened to save as??? I need it to work fast and need to do far more clicks now.
If you agree then please send messages to apple in any way you can to promote
them to bring back " save as" ! It is a vital function to keep track of files
and to work faster.
let me know what you think. ! Thank you

I'm writing to ask apple for this topic. Then I saw your topic underneath, I would better reply.
I agree with you and wanna ask Apple about "Don't you know that the "duplicate" got my life so complicated and I prefer to get "save as" back.
I open my file and edit, adjust and modify but I would like to keep the original file and save this edited file in another name but OK I choosed duplicate I saved another name THEN??? My old file was chenged and save automatically the same as new name duplicated file!!! For what?
By the "save as" I never found this complicated and easier.
PLEASE BRING BACK "SAVE AS"
I wish you are listening to this little voice.

Bring back Jon Briggs for Siri

Dear apple,
This a petition to bring back Jon Briggs as the UK voice of Siri.
I found his voice to be very clear and more natural sounding in iOS 7.0.6 than the voices that has been selected for IOS 7.1, yet you keep his voice for speak selection.
Please bring back the voice of UK Siri back the way your customers want.
Thank you, David Podd.

I've bougt some new songs and they just disappeared from my computer and my iphone. How do I get them back? Please help! I'm from Denmark - I don't know if that make any difference!?

You are not addressing anyone working for Apple here. We are all just users such as yourself.
Regretably, the iTunes in the Cloud service is not available for music in Denmark:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085. You will not be able to re-download any music purchases. You'll need to restore from your local backup.

Dear Apple – Please help me restoring my purched iTunes tracks on my ipad mini

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support or Apple.
Music can't currently be re-downloaded in all countries. If you are in a country where music can be redownloaded, and if it's still in the store, then it will show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad. If some of your music purchases show there but not all, then check to see if any are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music, or if it's no longer in the store, then you will need to re-sync it from your copies on your computer's iTunes (or your backup of your downloads). If you haven't got a copy of your library anywhere then for the tracks that are still in the store you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

[Desktop][Playlists] Please bring back album title

Hi, I have the Mac client and just noticed that my playlist interface only shows three columns now: Song, Artist, Date Added Why is album title gone and can you PLEASE bring it back? I looked through the settings/menus and saw no way to do this myself. Frankly, I'd rather have the album title than date added, if it's a matter of space. Actually, if I could even hide date added that would be great as I really don't care when I added a track to one of my playlists. Thanks!
