Does anyone else think Apple has dropped the ball since Tiger?

I'm using Mavericks and it's slow and buggy as all get out. I miss Tiger. Anyone else think this OS is a large leap backwards?

Does anyone else think that the AppleMac group of products are marketed in a greedy way? I have MacBook Pro 10.5.8 and am now told that I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to sync my new iPad. Of course there isn't enough memory on the MacBook? I'm angry!

Does anyone else think that the AppleMac group of products are marketed in a greedy way? I have MacBook Pro 10.5.8 with Leopard and am now told that I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard so that my system can download the relevant iTunes upgrade to sync my new iPad and get my audiobooks (which don't appear anywhere on the device right now). Of course there isn't enough memory on the MacBook and Snow Leopard costs more also? I don't have financial resources to pay for all the new memory requirement and related upgrades they say I need just to sync my iPad with my purchases.

Thanks for the reply but I already knew this. $20 for Snow Leopard which asks for 5gb free memory. I can only see that I have 4 gb (which I feel is rather a pathetic amount of available memory for any computer). To upgrade this computer's memory will cost another fee (I haven't researched this yet but gather it's more than $20). Then of course I could also be told that the OSX Mackbook Pro that I have can't be memory upgraded - which means I'm being told to buy a new computer - hence my very frustrated last email. I have been given a lovely iPad 2 as a present and now can't sync at all with anything because of this ongoing upgrade nightmare. How on earth am I going to be able to sync my movies, audiobooks etc to this new device??

Has anyone else had issues with dropping the wifi connections since upgrading to Yosemite

has anyone else had issues with dropping the wifi connections since upgrading to Yosemite

Looking at the Yosemite forum, it is obvious that this is a very common issue. You might want to post in that forum for help and advice.

Does anyone else think you should be able to import a DVD using itunes? Just like you would with a CD? I think itunes needs to get with the times...

If you're referrring to commercial DVDs, the problem with that is that they're copy-protected. Apple would have to build in decoding of the copy protection into iTunes and get licenses from the DVD producers to allow DVDs to be imported, something they're unlikely to grant, though we can hope that at some point the content owners will be flexible enough to allow it.

Does anyone know if Apple has any plans to create an electronic medical records (EMR) program? And if not, who do I email to suggest just that as a new market in desperate need of some new innovation?

Does anyone know if Apple has any plans to create an electronic medical records (EMR) program? And if not, who do I email to suggest just that as a new market in desperate need of some new innovation?

There already are some tools in the App Store (eg. My Medical - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-medical/id347860026?mt=8).
If you mean something that would interact directly with a Hospitals main system or such, I don't know of any. There are numerous companies now selling and setting up central records systems around the country, but I don't know of any that are working on companion patient tools yet.
Some charity and non-profit companies, like MedicAlert Foundation are working on such things and may have mobile apps on their radar, as funds allow them to develop such thing. MedicAlert already offers an EMIR service online, but no standalone mobile app for it yet (you manage it via their web portal).
Epocrates (owned by Athena Health) might also have something in the works, or at least an interest in such a thing.

our original ones got frayed and no longer work. Been buying USB charges from my local pharmacy.. Need a new one every 2-3 weeks.

The USB does not work pluged into a wall, however, the same cord does work in my car.

Makes it sound like the charging port is damaged or loose.

Does anyone else think the 4s battery is TERRIBLE?! It doesn't last t all!!

More than 6 hours

This is a very interesting discussion as I am doing precisely this as well. I am taking my old home movies, pulling in the 2-hour video and then splitting it in PE7 (via control-k). I then make individual avi's from it by deleting all the segments except one, "sharing" the avi, reloading (or undoing) to get my clips back and deleting all except the next one. its a tedious business but it works.

Does anyone else think that the new update 5.1.1 drains battery life faster than 5.1?

I charged my phone to 100% last night and unpluged it last night before going to bed. 10 hours later, when I got up, my battery had went down all the way to 68% and with no apps running in the background... All while my iPhone's currently running on IOS 5.1.1. I never had this problem with IOS 5.1, when the battery would only drop to around 97% overnight.
Anyone else having this problem?

With Phone, Messages, and Setting apps active and
Celllular data enabled, my AT&T 64 gig, 4S drops about 4-5%
overnight. Which is about what it was with 5.1.
So, I personally have seen no change in battery performance
and when using the phone I haven't seen any difference either.

Does anyone else have this problem with the iTunes visualizer?

I rarely use the iTunes visualizer but, when I do, it gives me the option of either using the newer one or the classic one. I like to use the new one but the problem is that I can only go to "visualizer options" if I am using the classic one. In said options I could set it so that the song info (song title, artist, album title and artwork) stays in the bottom left corner for the entire song. The few times I use the visualizer, I do like to have it up for the whole song--I just think it looks cool, I don't know...
Anyway, since I can't get the options for the new visualizer, the song info always fades away after the first five seconds or so of the song.
Anyone else realize this?? And does it annoy anyone else lol?

Well, I did a search on apple.com and found this:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-news/2010/04/the-hidden-itunes-visualizer-con trols.html
"The Visualizer -- graphics that swoop and pulse with the music -- has been part of iTunes' DNA from the beginning. And because its creators wanted to interact with the graphics in real time as well as watch them, Visualizer includes some single keystroke commands that change what you see while it runs. But these commands are hidden by default lest they obstruct the graphics.
Use the Show/Hide Visualizer command in the View menu to turn Visualizer on and off, and use the Visualizer menu to select among the choices. If the choice you're using has hidden commands you can see them for a brief time by typing ? while a song is playing and Visualizer is visible. The keystrokes will work regardless of whether the help menu is showing, so if you memorize them it's possible to add Virtuoso Visualizer Player to your list of accomplishments. (For the Visualizer choice called Jelly, available only in iTunes for Mac, try holding the keys down, especially the number keys, for maximum effect.")
Not that you care. >.<

Does anyone else do other work on the same machine while digitizing?

I used to do this with my Dual867 G4, but it seems impossible on my new 2.1G5 iMac - ie. takes 5 minutes to just open Safari while digitizing...
Can it be that the iMac is just that bad at multitasking? This seems crazy to me, has anyone else experienced this?

I do msn chat and internet browsing while I capture. However, it would be easier for the machine if you open the apps before starting to capture.
I think the dual 867 is a lot more powerfull than your imac.

Does anyone else have this problem with the new up...

in order for me to dial or use the keypad, i have to press the end key before dialing any numbers and then to remove the numbers and the dialing bar, i have to clear all the numbers manually by press the C button then i can press the end key to take off the dialing bar. another problem i have is that when i put my profile on silent, the phone doesn't vibrate the screen and lights only flash like they normally do. has anyone else had this problem? im guessing there are more flaws with the new update but im still looking into it.

someone help meee!!!

TS2565 Does anyone else have a problem using the motif xs as a controller in Logic 9.1.8?

When I try to play a song it stutters. This did not happen in 9.1.7. Very annoying. Is there any way to go back to using 9.1.7 after upgrading?

Thanks. I tried this but that doesn't solve it. It turns out if I press play & stop on the Motif simultaneously it will play, but then I have to start from the beginning of the song every time I start from the Motif. I really think this has to do with Logic 9.1.8.

Does anyone else think the upgrade to ver 7 is a bit overpriced?

I purchased the full version bundle of PE4 and PSE 6 and have been looking forward to the new versions - but I only see a $30 price difference between teh upgrade and the new, full version.
Isn't that a little uut-of-whack, even for Adobe? I just don't know if it's worth it.
Small rant, over now.

Does anyone else think the new iPhoto is not very good? you can no longer burn photo cd's directly from it!

I do not like the new iphoto, it will not let you burn a photo cd directly from iphoto like it used to. It use to be simple, now it's not. I also think the faces feature is a waste of time and you can't disable it. Overall i am not happy with this new product i had to pay for. I had to update the iphoto i loved because they stopped letting you send your photo's to be printed from it. Apple is failing. It seems they are more after new sorces of revenue then keeping a good product.

Did you have a question?
I don't use the Faces feature, nor the Places one either, but I don't find them a waste of time. There's nothing to disable, just don't use them. Burning to optical media is going the way of the floppy disk. New computers of every brand are showing up now without optical drives. In five years you'll have trouble finding a computer with a built-in drive to buy and in 10, you'll find it hard to get a drive that will play optical media at all. iPhoto 08 was released in 2007 and that means they supported online printing services for 6 years. The installed base of iPhoto 08 is so small now that it's not worth their while. How you get from your inconvenience to "Apple is failing" is not clear to me. iPhoto 11 is a much more capable application that 08, complete with full non-destructive editing.

Does anyone else think the 'Creating Content in FCS' forum is Forum Bloat?

I'm interested to see if any of you think that the adding of a new forum one level up from here titled as above will lead to both constant dual-postings and unanswered threads? It seems to me to be nothing more than Forum Bloat. If we allow this, why don't we allow "Hardware Setups for FCS", "Viewing FCS work on video monitor vs LCD monitor" or "Heavy Drinking while Editing - users thoughts?" as forums?
These are threads, not forums! If we need more forums (say, Beginner and Elitist?), then so be it - but let's subdivide the topics via some kind of system rather than some arbitrarily broad topic?

I looked at the new forum, but didn't really 'get it'... I guess it will either prove useful in time, or become redundant and have tumbleweed bouncing around.
Creating Content in FCS? What does that mean exactly?
And in regard to the points thing... well, i'll stick my head on the line here...
The amount of times i've read 'Have you tried using the forum search!?' or 'We get asked this question a thousand times a week... use search.' etc etc etc...
So... off they go and use search... lo and behold, they see a thread title that matches their problem and they investigate... if the person can see a green star next to a certain post they will be assured that that answer will help them.
Sometimes threads go on for pages and pages before a solution is reached... if somebody uses search, finds that thread and starts slogging through all the posts, surely it's just plain helpful to have that green star there... just to say...Hey! this is the answer!. It's like a little flag, waving.
...and if, inadvertantly, some points go to somebody... that's all good in my book. It's just a little nod and a wink to say "Thanks buddy, you helped me out."
I will happily continue to remind people to mark threads 'solved' and to give people a little star... it adds a sense of completion.
