Apple, why did you delete multi touch gestures for iPad in iOS5?

I have to say that this is a bit of a kick in the teeth. We spend all this money on Apple products, expecting software updates to add the he functionality of these devises - not to have really cool functions taken away... Why would you take this away? If it is a performance issue at least give people the option to turn it on or off.
Bring it back please in 5.0.1... Oh and fix all the bugs that had me deleting apple apps like 'find my phone' and reinstalling them from the app store...

Apple never included multitouch gestures in a consumer release of iOS before 5. You had to use developer tools to get them. So, from their standpoint, they never gave it to you in the first place. But, at any rate, you're not addressing Apple here. Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

Why not Multi-Touch Gestures for iPad 1 Apple?

Why?????

I'm curious, what's buggy about the gestures? I've had an iPad 1 running multitouch gestures for months, and haven't noticed any issues. Granted, the gesture I use most of the time is the four-finger swipe-up to reveal recent apps, but I often swipe between Safari and iThoughts when doing research. *Love* the feature, and I'm staying at iOS 4 for the time being until I see what Apple's next move is on this. Other iOS 5 features aren't compelling enough to lose gestures, in my view.
One thing I've learned about updates: always let someone else be the first to adopt them, then check forums a day or two later to find out where the pitfalls lie. I would've been pretty peeved if I'd have read the copy on Apple's website that called out the gestures as an iPad feature rather than exclusive to iPad 2, then installed and lost gestures. People are justifiably ticked off about that, I think (and yes, I've sent feedback to Apple to share that opinion --- it can't hurt to try.)

Apple, why did you remove keyboard short cuts for EQ in v7?

now gone in v7
command-1 for main window
command-2 for equalizer!
that eq window short cut was cruitial(for me at least) when I'm doing parties and I need fast access to the EQ
bad move - apple programmers, what were you guys thinking?

Apple changed the commands and they are now used for video.
You can program it back in with different keyboard commands.
Close iTunes. Go to System Preferences>Hareware>Keyboard & Mouse>Keyboard Shortcuts.

Apple why did you take the Sites folder with my website in it? Nobody helps!

Since upgrading to Mavericks I lost my local website folder that used to be in the Sites folder!
Error: Can't connect, check your info! Oh Apple why did you take it? "H E L P P L E A S E!"

Thank you Barney-15E
I have no clue why this is or why I am getting this error in Mavericks. All I have is a local website folder in the Sites folder using Dreamweaver CS4 to update my files, working perfect on my other drive running 10.6.8 . Why I cant update and get the error above is the reason I am posting here. (and several other spots)
You said:
"First off, FTP is disabled in Mavericks, which is why you likely cannot FTP into your local Mac--why are you ftp'ing to the Mac you are working on?"
You said:
"Your Sites folder is in your Home folder. However, if you created it somewhere else, you'll have to figure that out."
When I say my Sites folder is not in my Home folder you can bank on it. No I never changed any folders in there.

I am running a photoshop cc with my cintiqu 22 DTH2200, why I cant find multi-touch gesture option under the perference/experimental feautre...??

Because...it's already enabled (under Windows 8 systems)?
Is it not working on your Cintiq?

Multi-touch gestures for opening the tab groups

The regular shortcut for opening the tab groups is Ctrl+Shift+E. I'm wondering if there is a way to assign a multi-touch gesture to do this.
So for example, currently, browser.gesture.swipe.down is set to scroll to the bottom of the page. I love this! However, I don't use it very often and would instead like to reassign this gesture to open up the tab groups. Is this possible with Firefox 4? If not, I think it should be :)
Thanks,
Hristo

Try <b>TabView.toggle</b>

Verizon why did you delete my post

all i want is the same rights as any android phone user. why wont you unlock my bootloader. i will keep posting till i get a response

the fcc regulations state

Moderators PLEASE - why did you delete Chris Aikin's post

This post was hitting the SPOT - 100%.
It may have been a little Apple unfriendly but Apple's new found unfriendliness towards their customers super seeds what Aikin wrote in his post
One guy in that post said that this forum is a user to user forum. But he must have been very wrong. Cuz every time we user start to dig where its deep YOU moderators come in and delete the posts. All you want here on this forum is people asking how to repair their disk permissions.
Since this Leopard Downgrade emerged there are 100 of thousands of people just about ready to blow....
Your job as a moderator is to VERIFY the contents of the posts - and the post you've just deleted was NOT against forum policy. If someone posts a reply that is against the forum - then for god sake have the intelligence to JUST delete the reply and NOt the whole post....
Shame on You

I'm going to take a stab, and explain to you why something like this may happen. I've been on this board long enough to know that:
1. If there is any smell of ranting. Calling it a "downgrade" alone seems like a rant.
2. If there is any smell of unsubstantiated criticism.
3. If there is any smell of demeaning towards others or towards Apple.
4. If there is any indication that a thread is proceeding nowhere towards a solution and people are venting feelings.
Then a thread or a post can be deleted. They may not be as able to delete a single post versus a thread as easily. That puts a bit of an onus on us the user to stay clear of writing posts that could trigger an unhappy response by someone who had problems. It is better to start a thread which asks questions about why a technical issue might happen and how to solve it, and avoid any blame. Subject line should be asking that question.
Don't hijack another thread where someone is looking for a solution, saying you have that problem too. That tends to create an atmosphere of ill-will.
Point people to where to Post a New Topic (at some forum versus a category level) that are obviously new with only one post. If they have a couple posts, check their post history to see if they managed to post a new topic elsewhere, and say to them they should look there for a response.
I'm not a moderator, nor do I question their policy. Among the Terms of Use is that we can't question, nor can we speculate.
It isn't a "downgrade" for everyone. There are some people, like myself who have successfully installed Leopard.
Now was there a technical issue you needed resolving with either your installed software, or your hardware?

Apple, why did you change my Keyboard and remove the enter key?

Hi all,
I had my new black MacBook delivered just before Christmas. The keyboard has changed from my previous Black MacBook (the one a colleague poured wine over and killed... grrr).
Apple have changed the look of the command key and removed the Apple logo (very sad), but more frustratingly have replaced the 'enter' key with another 'option' key.
I found the 'enter' key really useful, especially for pull down menu and really miss having one.
Does anyone know if there is a way to assign the new 'option' key to be an 'enter' key?
Cheers
Scott.

I just received a new(refub) MacBook 2.2GHz today and was very disappointed to find the enter key missing. After selling my G4 PowerBook six months ago, I was so looking forward to having the convenience of being able to slap the enter key for dialog boxes with and submitting forms without having to move my hand from the trackpad. I hope that someone will come up with a way to replace the functionality of the missing enter key.
Which brings me to my next point- There has been a big oversight in the implementation of the MacBook's replacement of the Enter Key, which is to use the FN+Return keys. It seems that when using the FN key with the Return key, the system will ignore the Command key being invoked. I discovered this very quickly. Anyone who uses Apple Remote Desktop knows that in order to send a Unix command to a remote machine, you type the command in the 'send UNIX command' window, then hit Command+Enter to send the command. Return produces a carriage return, FN+Return does nothing, and FNCommandReturn does nothing. The only current work around is to use the track pad to the "Send" button and click, which really slows things down.

Is there an official list of all multi-touch gestures for Lion?

from Apple?

>Open your user guide for the computer
Where is the guide? Stored inside the iMac or do you mean the little booklet that came in the box? Those little booklet don't have much information.
> or open Trackpad preferences.
Not all gestures are in the Trackpad preference, for example, the 3 finger tab for word definition is not in there. This is the reason I wonder what other gestures might there be that I don't know.

Why did you push out your CEO for his political and religious beliefs?

It's sad that you chose to push out a CEO for his personal belief. What happened to freedom? I have happily deleted you from my devices and will continue to encourage others to do the same. Shame on you!

Would it really hurt you to ask for facts on what happened with Brendan Eich? before assuming the worst happened instead?. One could say shame on you for not asking first.
The knew about his 2008 donation as it was public record (due to California law on donations with name and employer being listed) and supported him for who he is to promote him from CTO to CEO. This was not found out after he became CEO as some mistakenly believed.
Unfortunately some media outlets will rather publish sensationalized stories generating many clicks and increased revenue by ads than perform the most basic fact-checking or even posting the truth.
In fact Brendan refused to step down (as first link from day before shows) due to the pressure from outside campaigning to get him to resign as CEO. However it just got so bad in increasing attacks that he felt he could no longer be an effective leader with people constantly attacking him. He decided to leave as his way of helping Mozilla however this then triggered attacks more towards Mozilla due to the misconceptions made by individuals and article writers thinking was fired or forced out.

Since he was not fired or forced out he could go back to Mozilla if he wanted to I would like to think.

In v4 why did you flip the context menu for open in new tab/window. Sucks when you are used to the other way

I downgraded to 3.x because when I browse I have many new open windows (I have been using FF for so long I automatically select the second option). Seems stupid to change the order of the context menu when it has been the other way forever.
Please change it back or at least have the order as an option.

So the answer from TonyE was "That was an intentional change to promote the use of tabbed browsing." (See http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/791244)
And there is an option to use a menu editor to put them back detailed in that thread as well. The problem, of course, is that you need to perform a complex customization to every computer on which you use Firefox in order to fix a problem that should never have been created, never made it through beta, and that the developers won't fix because they believe that they are right.
Frankly, eventually you get used to it. But in the mean time, they have annoyed, and in many cases pissed-off a large segment of their users for no reason at all.

I installed Lion, but did not get the multi touch gestures feature. Also my "front row" is gone.

What model computer do you have? some early trackpads will not support all gestures.
Front Row was dropped by Apple in Lion. I beleive it can be recovered from Snow Leopard, I haven't tried it myself.

Why can I not use multi-touch gestures on my original iPad with iOS 5?

Why can I not use multi-touch gestures on my original iPad with iOS 5?

It would appear that apple has managed to p1ss off alot of ipad one users in one fowl swoop, what makes it worse is that fact we were the early adoptors who got asked, why do you want a big iphone for? and then spent time showing people how good it was! actually promoting it for apple! and then to get this kick in the teeth is frustrating! i wish i had known about xcode before!
however!
keep sending feedback, i must have sent twenty yesterday and will keep sending them untill i get a reply from these idiots! and wont stop untill i do, the more feedback sheets we fill in the more they will have to listen, it takes less than a min, i just asking the same question! moaning on here wont do anything, feedback might
also note they have changed the website now, but they have not changed the iOS5 spash screen :
(•          AirPlay Mirroring for iPad 2 and iPhone 4S
          •          Multitasking Gestures for iPad
          ◦          Use four or five fingers to pinch to the Home Screen
          ◦          Swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar
          ◦          Swipe left or right to switch between apps)
clearly they were planning on releasing this update to us, otherwise on the spalsh screen it would have stated ipad 2 only, note in the sentence above it states it CLEARLY makes a reference to ipad 2 for airplay, so, whatever the problem, they can fix it and they know it works!

Why only one multi-touch gesture? (Suggestions for more)

The only multi-touch gesture is for rotating the screen. In having my nano for a week I've found it time consuming to get to where I want in the menus a lot of the time. A few more multi-touch gestures could solve this problem. I'd suggest one that takes you directly to the main home screen and a second that is the equivalent of hitting the "Now Playing" icon. They could be two finger swipe left for home and two finger swipe right for now playing.

Hello Dustin,
Perhaps you should leave this as feedback to Apple through this link.
