Don't like the layout of Photoshop CS4!

I've been a photoshop user for years (since V3) and I work with photoshop every day (except my day off) and I have several things that really aggravate me about the version CS4.
Arrange Documents
Which ever one of the brilliant little kids at Adobe thought this one up should have it crammed up their butt sideways and wrapped in barbed wire!   The CS3 functionality was fine and Adobe didn't even give me a "if you like the document arrangement of CS3, please click here". I've clicked the available Arrange Document drop down box to select float all in windows... that works but it doesn't stay that way. Also, when I place on document next to another, they merge. Bummer.
Show all Menu Items
Again, Adobe's brilliant little kids must have been at one of Hugh Hefner's martini blanket parties thinking of shortcuts to get to "home plate".   Most professionals I know with Photoshop use at least 2 monitors.   I use two 21 inchers set side by side - one for work, one for the tool pallets.   I have plenty of space and I would like to (or at least have the permanent option to) see ALL my menu items.   You guys must have hired a reject from Microsoft for that one.
It's all about getting Work done.
For me, Photoshop isn't cute or trendy or gee whiz... it's all about getting photo editing done.   When you design, please don't follow the "let's make it cute and trendy" routine. Make it work, make it simple, make it powerful and finally make it where I don't have to re-learn it when a new version is launched.
If someone can help me permanently restore "float all in windows" that would be great.

Had to hide by toolbar and now I can't access it. I don't like the Yahoo Toolbar and I can't get rid of it. I've tried RT DBL Click on the open space which only takes me back to Yahoo TB. Can't find anything in the Computer Controls to address this. Any Suggestions??

you have a ps cs4 license for mac and you have some way of finding your serial number.
if yes, download an install the installation file. if you already have the installation file, what is its name and file extension? (eg, if it's one file, it should be a dmg file.)
if you need the installation file,

HT201365 I don't like the iOS 7 upgrade. Do I have to upgrade or can I go back to the way it was? How would I do that?

I don't like the iOS 7 upgrade. Do I have to upgrade or can I go back to the way it was? How would I do that?

Unfortunately, reverting to an earlier version of iOS is not supported.

How do I go back to the previous version. I can't even find the back button. I don't like the new style. It may be more secure but it's not easier to use.

I don't like the new toolbars or task bars or address bars or whatever you call them. In fact I refused to update my other computer because of the confusion the new version has caused me. I don't like the new location of the home button, I don't like having to click on the tab then go to a drop down menu to reload the tab (more clicks). And I really don't like the dark color of the top portion of the screen, it's really hard on my eyes. I don't like the blurry portion of my desktop showing through, it's confusing.

"Unlike". iOS 7 doesnt display well on my 4S. iOS 6.1.3 should still be supported for older hardware. I think I shall me moving to Samsung Galaxy now. Was really hoping hte new iphone would get a bit larger.

I am unable to buy on itunes as I live in France and use an English credit card which is registeredwh to my French address. itunes UK don't like the French address, itunes France don't like the English credit card. Any ideas on how to buy?

Go to a place in France and purchase an iTunes gift card. You should be able to use that in the French iTunes store if you have a French address associated with your iTunes account.

I don't like the retore previous option. if someone were to open it they could hack my facebook account or something else. how do i turn of the restore previous session option

I don't like the restore previous session option b/c it can lead to hacking into my computer.

Hello,
You could read this-

But if you really want to go to Firefox 3.6,

and click the "Download" link for English Windows.

If you don't like the 3D Dock

If you don't like the 3D Dock you can change it:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2007101815375480
Someone has posted applescripts to easily change it.
I prefer the flat dock mainly because I found it hard to see the little dots indicating open apps - especially on the default apple picture as some of the stars look like the dots.

BTW...
You can also access the Dock's preferences by Control-clicking on the Dock space between the Apps and the Trash. (The lines that look like highway dividers). You can also toggle the magnification, screen location, etc. settings as well as left-click-dragging to set the size of your Dock. You never really have to open the System Preferences.

I don't like the grey on grey tiny font interface in cs6. I don't like going online to make a form

I don't like the grey on grey tiny font interface in cs6. I don't like going online to make a form in Acrobat. If you had a template to suit me, I wouldn't need to create one. I don't like leasing the software from the cloud, I want to own my software and keep my files on my machine.

And you point beyond this being a complaint/ rant? If you have specific questions, ask them, otherwise there's no point in flooding the forum with the millionth complaint about the new CC...

one day before,i update my iphone5 system,but i really don't like the operation,i want change back to ios6.1.4,what can i do?

OK, I downloaded the utility, but during the installation process I was advised to shut down Outlook, or restart it after installation. I immediately cancelled the installation. Obviously, this thing is going to muck about with Outlook. I don't want anything to be touching or looking at any of my installed program unless I tell it too AFTER I fully understand what it is doing and how to reverse the whole process in case it gets mucked up.
I looked for a manual or some sort of documentation on the configuration utility, but there does not seem to be any.
Anyone have a link to program documentation for
iPhone Configuration Utility 3.6.2 for Windows?
I find it incredilble that there does not seem to be a stand alone, plug the usb cable in, and make a back up (system image) of an iPhone. After all, the thing seems to be hand held computer. Why not have a simple back up utility? Even the newer phones only have, what, a few GB. Lots of images would fit on an outboard TB disk.
Then if every thing gets FUBAR, simply restore the phone the the last working image.
Does no one keep controled squential backups of iPhones and iPads like you should do with any other computer, workstation or laptop that is a serious business tool?
iTunes for back-up. Does and business seriously do that?
iCloud? I'd be fired if the boss caught me putting client contact information on 'the cloud' or anything outside my secured hard drives. (Unless we have a specific paid contract for services).
My company does not even allow wifi in the office. Security begins with a hard wired connection.
sigh....

I added Panorama Group Tabs and I don't like the way it works. I want to remove it but can't find or figure out a way to. Can you please tell me how it can be removed permanently? Thanks!

That link doesn't tell you how to remove the Panoroma Tab Groups!! My main issue with it is that along my tabs at the top I no longer have the tab to open a new tab. Instead I have to click on the tab groups and then open them and click on an open area in the tab to get a new tab opened!! Is there a way to add that? I don't see that when I go to customize the tool bar as there's no icon to add it, just one to open a new window, which I don't want to do!! Thanks!!

Can I get back to the older version of FoxFire? I don't like the new one

I don't like the new version

It would be faster and more satisfying to change the appearance to the toolbars in 4.0.1 to what you like than to reinstall an older version.
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

For one thing, I cannot find directions for turning "Music" off ... and it's draining my battery too fast each day. Other changes are OK, but this drives me nuts!

I don't like the latest Firefox. Can I keep the old one without problems?

At work I have v. 3.6.19 and it is asking me to upgrade to 5.0.1. I have a brand-new iMac at home and I installed the newest Firefox just a couple of months ago, so I probably have the 5.0.1. In any case, I don't like the new one's interface. Instead of having separate reload and stop buttons to the LEFT of the url window, there's a single reload/stop button (and it seems smaller than the old ones) attached to the RIGHT of the url window. Since I have a 27" screen on my new computer, it means I have to move the mouse WAY UP TO THE RIGHT to reload a screen, which is hard on my mousing hand. That may sound like nitpicking to you, but I'm finding it to be a problem. Also, the Home button seems to have disappeared. I just don't find the ease of use to be the same as with the one I still have at work. So I guess my question is twofold: 1) can I keep the old version at work and still upgrade the Flash (as it's asking me to do as well)?; and 2) can I put an older version on my iMac at home?
I used to work in software (although not as an engineer), and in my opinion, newer does not always equal better. A case in point, it used to be easier to return to a previous page using the top toolbar, but as the versions change the function seems to be harder to use.

Hey paulwisc,
If you are just unhappy with the location of the Home button, you can move it to any toolbar location that you like. [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars?s This article] will give you all the steps you need to customize the toolbar.
Is that the only reason you want to roll back? If you have other reasons, you should consider [http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/feedback leaving feedback] for the developers so that they can continue to improve the product.
If you still want to roll back to a previous version of Firefox, just take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]].
Hopefully this helps!

If I don't like the 9.99 plan, can i downgrade my plan back?

I currenlty have an OLD Altell phone and need to upgrade (as it broke). And we are still on the old Alltell friends & family plan.
If I get a medium range phone, I realize I have to get a 9.99 (or more) data package. my questions are such:
1. I don't have to change to a new Verizon plan, do I? (I can just add the $10 to my Alltel plan, right?) please say yes!
2. If I decide I don't like the phone or paying the extra $10/month, can I just toss the phone, get a new, basic cell phone and drop the $9.99 data plan?
thanks.

We have a nationwide F&F plan wtih ?900 minutes or so. 3 phones currently onl the plan.
Specific example:
If I get the LG touch (which requires 9.99 or more data) do I need a new plan, or do I just add 9.99 to my current plan.
Then, suppose in a few months I decide I don't use the data or don't want it -- THEN, can I get another new phone (like the Samsung Intensity - which does NOT require a plan) and just drop the 9.99? Or (as I have heard from a friend) will I have to pay the termination fee to drop the 9.99 - or I'm stuck wtih that 9.99 for 2 years??
thanks.
With that plan you should be able to add a line and keep your Alltel plan. But it may take a few tried to find someone to do that.
If for some reason you want to dump the phone that requires the data, and get another phone (It will not be subsidized if bought from VZW, unless swapped out withing thirty days of purchase) so you will have to pay full price for it, but then you would call and cancel data on that line. No ETF will be charged.
