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.

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 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.

Does anyone else think the new lion upgrade is slower than snow leapard?
After upgrading to Lion it seam everything is slower. Opening programs, running processes, working in programs. Yahoo account on foxfire I have to reload the mail about three time to get to it. Not real happy with the upgrade at this point.
I have started "top -o cpu" in a terminal and it seems that the process "mdworker" is taking up quite some cpu, together with some other kernel stuff.
Some searching on the www, and I learned that this could be due to the indexing activities mentioned earlier. It's odd tho. When I dive into it, it seems to be opening files on my Time-Machine device. Is that normal practice? -
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??

Does anyone else think..............
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.

after the newest update ( iso 7) , i can no longer type in traditional chinese ( pin yin), does anyone else have the same problem?
I downloaded and tried EasyFind. It works but it took 30+ seconds to complete finding 3 files that are on One of my Five 25+ Gb partitions of my 130 Gb Seagate Cuda(Really 160 Gb, but my Sawtooth will only recognize 130) I figured that if I ever got a better box, I could reformat it to see the whole 160 Gb. So, as far as I can see, Spotlight's indexing scheme which finds the files instantly is probably preferable. Spot light allows you to rename your files from within it's app window. I've always thought that was pretty powerful. Could my doing so be causing me any issues? As i said it is the inability to Type in the Finder that seemed to be caused from changing file Extentions that were mis-written. Maybe it was a delayed reaction to my renaming files in the Spotlight app? I've done both on occasion.
As for these .DS_Store files. Apparently you can NOT stop them from being written to any folder that you touch/open/view during a days session. But, as a function of the OS, are the essential to have in their respective folders Forever? I've looked at the .DS_Store terminator app briefly and assume that getting rid of these files won't hurt the regular operation of my OS. They will just be re-written if I ever have to go back to any particular folder again. But, apparently, some have said that if the plan on burning a CD or DVD of their data, they delete the .DS_Store files first and then do the burn.
I'm thinking from your having suggested this tremination app that you suspect that my having all of these ,DS_Store files could be a situation where any of them could have become corrupted and terminating them regularly should be part of my regular maintenance.
Does that sound like I'm understanding what I can do?

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

We NEED Snow-Leopard Width Scroll Bars ( and Arrows too )
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.

Does anyone else get the error message :iCloud has unexpectedly stopped"?
I am visiting South Africa and realy heavily on access to my iCloud. For the past 48 hours iCloud seems to be down and I keep getting the error message "icloud has unexpectedly stopped". Apple has not acknowledged the problem, yet. Does anyone else experience similar issues? Any suggestions on how to access icloud.com?
I'm having the same problem on my wife's computer. I successfully joined several shared calendars from my account, and suddenly started getting this message on the last one. I've tried again repeatedly over the last 24 hours, including sending a new invitation, logging her out of iCloud website, etc.

Most of the time my charger does not work . IPAD indicates not charging when recgarger plugged in. Does antone else have the problem?
If you continue to have the issue with a different charger and if you are having any issues syncing with your computer then you may want to take it into an apple store and have them look at it.
The main reason I say this, I had the 30 pin dock die on my iPad, and the symptoms were that it would not charge when plugged into the wall - and with multiple chargers - and it would not sync.
So keep an eye on it, especially if you are close to the end of your warranty. -
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.
