Does anybody else not like the new discussion format?

There were very logical reasons why G4 iBooks were seperated from G4 PowerBooks, etc, etc, etc........!!!
Is there anyway of looking at just G4 iBooks discussions without doing a simple search each time under the new regime?
OR (please), is the old format still there but just hidden in new clothing?
Thanks for your time.
I feel like a dinosauer (spell???).

Hi, Bruce.
I think any of us who have posted here for awhile are having a hard time getting used to the new format.
Are you looking for the PowerBook forum, then? (One thing I really don't like is that your specs aren't automatically posted any more. I had to go to your profile to see which Mac you have.)
You've landed in the iBook Discussions. All iBooks have been lumped together, but there is a separate Discussion for PowerBooks. Let me see if I can get the link for you. (Then you can bookmark it in your browser if you like. That's what I've done.)
Here is the link to the PowerBook Discussions:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/notebooks/powerbook
Don't feel bad about having navigation problems. Most of us are struggling, but it's coming.
Good luck.

Does anybody else think that the new ios6 music layout is ugly?

UGH! An ugly, cold, futuristic shade of grey. No more color. What are your opinions? Was ios6 worth the update?

Why does my computer not like the new version of FF V31.00?

It started about a 7-10 days ago. I was alerted that a New Version of FF v31 was available to download. So I d/l
installed it and blankety blank software would not properly. Sometimes it would load the FF Browser but any attempt to go between websites would take forever. Sometimes all I would get is a single tab showing and the
windows 7 Aero icon would spin itself silly. I would try to put it in safe mode but the same results as above. Finally after losing several buckets of sweat I read that my Anti-Virus software could be blocking FF. I thought why would it stop blocking this version when it had allowed previous versions w/o problems. I go to software rules and change it from auto to allow. I re-installed the v31.00 and it worked........... for 3days.
Today, It started acting up again. This time I would be reading a webpage and the mouse would not scroll or I would attempt to exit out a tab. No go. So I exit out of FF and tried to go back in. FF resorted back to my first experience. I went back to look if Norton 360 had changed the rules on me AGAIN. No everything was like it was before. I have now re-installed it 3 times today. Finally after re-installing for a 4th time I hit restart FF and everything is back to normal. I was under the impression when I hit restart I would lose all my profile settings(Bookmarks)/ But everything is back to normal..........for the time being. I have never had this much problems before. If it was a virus why would IE work like a champ but not FF.
Anyway I pray A FF expert can lead me down the paths of righteouness sake.

Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see

I just updated my iTunes and I do not like the newer version.....can I go back to the earlier version?? This new version does not have the iTunes DJ nor does is show at the bottom as in the earlier version how many songs and the size of my library.

To do this in iMovie 11. use the SHARE menu. Share your project using the Share menu and choose Export Using QuickTime.
In the Dialog box that comes up, choose Sound to AIFF, or one of the other sound options. This will create a file that you can drag into iTubes.

I do NOT like the new update for iphone (7.1). Is there a way to go back?

I do NOT like the new update for iphone (7.1). Is there a way to go back? Every time I see a change, I think the old version is better. Especially the phone and caps. Is it possible?

Sorry... Apple does not support the Downgrading of iOS.

HT4623 I do not like the new iOS 7 operating system on my iPad. I do not like the Safari works, I do not see a way to enter or search for a new web site. Is there a way that I can go back to the older operating system?

I do not like the new iOS 7 system on both my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. I can not like the way Safari works, I can not see a way to enter name to search for new web sites. Is there a way I can go back to the old iOS 6.1.5 operating system on my devices? Thank you.

I can not see a way to enter name to search for new web sites
Put your search terms in the combined URL and search bar at the top of the browser (exactly the same as you do in most modern desktop browsers such as Chrome, Safari, Explorer). There is no separate search box, just use the box where you enter web addresses.
And no, you cannot downgrade.

HT4623 Is their any other iPhone owners that dislikes the screens, fonts, display varieties this last update provided ? I know at least ten of my friends and family do not like the new fonts, screens it downloaded with the update. Is there away to change

I do not like the new Photos is there anyway I can get iPhoto back?

iPhoto is still on your mac, it is in the application folder.
what version did you have before you upgraded to 10.10.3
as you list your OS as 10.7.4.
you really needed to upgrade to iPhoto 9.6.1 before going to 10.10.3.
Still you could try this suggestion from Terence Devlin.

Why the new Discussions format is so wrong

This topic is not for what we like or don't like about the new discussions format, nor about what works and doesn't work. It's about philosophy.
Why do people come to the Apple Discussions? Why are the Apple Discussions so popular? What will the new format change?

Why do people come to the Apple Discussions? Why are
the Apple Discussions so popular? What will the new
format change?
I believe there are at least three reasons:
- To ask a question / get an answer
- For discussion
- For community
The new format focuses on the question/answer format only. It discourages discussion and destroys community.
Community is what makes Apple great. When someone becomes an Apple user they join a community.
The old Apple Discussions was a place for discussions, as well as for question/answer. The community joined together to help, to answer questions. It was a team effort.
The new format makes Apple Discussions like many other discussions, not a discussion, but a question/answer depot. Two people can be helpful, one can give the answer. End of discussion. End of community.
The old format encouraged partnership, the building of a helpful community.
The new format is individualistic: Question - answer - who's next?
Think about other help forums you have posted in. They are question/answer based. Once you have the answer to your question, do you go back? Rarely.
Why do the "experts," the ones with answers, come to the Apple Discussions? To help people, and also for community. The new format discourages discussion. With community gone, people will leave and look for community elsewhere. Then who will answer the questions?

How many do not like the new update for the droid maxx? How do you unupdate your phone?

The alarm clock is harder to manage. Before it was nice neat simple and easily readable. I have 4 alarms I use. I change the times around sometimes and I used to be able to see them all. I pick the one I want. Quick 2 sec change and done.
Now its large and harder to read. Go into the Alarm and you have to go around. I used to just type the hr I want or scroll up.
After selecting an alarm. When I was done. I could easily select the next one I wanted because It would revert back to neat simple view. Not now. That alarm takes up the whole screen.
When unlocking the screen I used to be able to go left to get straight to the phone. Go down for a text. Not anymore.
When in a call and I changed apps. I could go back to the phone by selecting the phone pic. The dial pad would be right there. Switch the speaker on and off.
Now once I switch out from phone and I can't get back to the dial pad.
From home screen scroll left to bring up
ringtone.
wifi
bluetooth and so on.
I select the on off for wifi in 1 second. Nope. Have to go into the option and change it.
It updated my google maps. I don't like the new one and I can't change it back to the original. On the original I used to be and to look at different options to my routing. Now thats not possible.
Hasn't any business ever heard of the term.
IF IT AINT BROKE DON'T FIX IT.

Did the issues start right after the software update?
Umm. Yeah. thats usually what happens when you update something. Things change.
I didn't say I didn't want my phone to be improved to work faster.
I did however say I didn't want it completely changed.
The look of it alone causes me headaches.
I don't want you to fix any issues other than getting rid of the update. Thats it. I will be, along with everyone else, will be happy when someone does something to get rid off this ugly looking, update.
Its simple. I just don't want the new look.
If I wanted it to look the way it does now. I would have gone to the store and bought a phone that has this look.
I like the way it was.
I did a factory reset. It does not do anything except remove the settings app and other info.
Then when the phone turned on. It started updating every single app I owned. Its trying to run up my bill.
Let me do this when I am using wifi or something. Not on my service.
Before anyone answers about this.
Go to app store hit stop. Change the settings auto update off.
Didn't work. 10 minutes later while waiting on hold I happen to look at my phone again. It started downloading them all again. I stopped them. Double checked my settings. Made sure auto update was off.
I have a few apps I don't update and they work perfectly fine.
I like them that way.

You should also try the recent app screen/view to switch between apps and the dialer to return to the dialer screen.
Your in a phone call. Go to the home screen. Click the phone button.
3 things come up.
Use touch tone keypad.
Return call in progress.
3rd unimportant for this. I want to see the dialpad.
Option 1. Use touch tone keypad. Select to bring up the dialpad. Ok. Got it.
Option 2. Return to call in progress. Select to ring up the dialpad.....
Hmmm. Option 1 and 2 do exactly the same thing. Now whos bright idea was it to have 2 options in the same menu. To do exactly the same thing.
Why don't we just select the phone and it brings up the dialpad.
Want to add a call.
You could try the recent app screen/view to switch between apps.

Not a big fan of the new Discussion Format

One of the things I look for is replies to the posts and/or who has replied. It's big and bold, but less helpful...

+1 on most of the negatives. I'm not filled with confidence in a "Pro" oriented discussion when everything looks like a TWEET bubble my 14yr old daughter sent.
For Apple, the "Pro" world does not hold the same luster it used to. Everything is "i" focused.
The forum now reflects that.. what i find most dissapointing is the number of people who've obviously downloaded Logic for free, have no clue how to use it and come here feeling they're entitled to answers. And not a peep from the parent company, hey, as long as it sells hardware, who cares... pphhhbbttt.
pancenter-

I dont like the new Discussions at all!

I don’t know about you all but the new Apple Discussions is confusing! I mean why the heck can't we have custom icons? I mean I feel like a level 1 again. Can we get the old one back? The old Apple Discussions was inviting to use and easy but the new one is kind of a turn off. Well that’s is just my 2cents. More to add- And why can't I post more then once every 30 second?
Terry
PS. what happen to spell check?

"I remember the last big change from a few (?) years ago."
Then, no doubt, you'll remember the extensive and painful issues WRT responsiveness that that "upgrade" caused. There were ongoing problems for several months, all due to the platform the Boards were running on (Web Crossing, now retired with this newest rollout).
"Now, I'll end up on a blank white page after I hit Post Message!"
This is a known bug that the sysops are working to resolve. It did not happen on the trial version of this new system that was in testing a couple of weeks ago.

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.
