Finder Questions / Wish List

So far so good on Leopard. "Back to my Mac" and screen sharing for me are worth the cost of admission alone. Here are a few finder related questions, perhaps wish list items:
1. Stacks - I'm not a big fan yet.. In Tiger I had my applications folder in the dock. Right clicking on it would bring up a scrollable column containing all of my apps. Now I have to click on the stack, and then click on the "xx more in finder" icon to get to any app that starts with a letter greater than "s." Is there a way to scroll stacks?
2. Quick view - awesome stuff.. Select your files, hit the space bar, and see what you have. Very nice and a real time saver. However, if I select a batch of files to view I can't trash them individually from the quick view. Is there a keyboard shortcut for this? I could use coverflow but quick view just feels more 'precise'
3. Is there any way to make my dock at the bottom of the screen look like it does on the side? I keep my dock very small at the bottom of the screen and really have a hard time seeing what apps are open (the little dot underneath the app blends in with the white '3D' dock tray.
4. Is anyone else experiencing an odd problem where you can't select anything on your desktop? This has happened twice to me now and is quite annoying. Can access things from the finder when this glitch takes effect but can't on the desktop.

Wish List:
Graphic UI seems a bit over board, simple and understated are easier to work with.
Get ride of the ugly transparent menu bar.
Get ride of the ugly 3D dock.
Get ride of the new window colors, they are too dark.
Get ride of the ugly start up screen (purple/star field). again simple and understated are easier to work with.
Bring back hierarchy menu selection from the dock.

How do I find my wish list?

I had a long list of chosen songs in my Wish List. While I was listening to the songs I was choosing, I created a folder to place them in - in my iTunes for my iPod Touch. Then, I could not get back to the page or my wish list.
How can I find it? I hope I can...
Thank you.

Thank You xxx

Hesitated to update my AppleTV firmware, because of wish list

Now I see iTunes 11.1.4 supports the wish list viewing in the iTunes library, I have to wonder, can someone with an older version of the AppleTV 2 firmware read the wish list in iTunes? Or do I have upgrade my firmware and then rebuild my wish list for iTunes to see the wish list?

Well I wanted to know for certain. It becomes a real pain to navigate by remote control to find a wish list
that we did on a TV in a totally separate room from our computers, so we can choose which films to rent on Netflix on DVD. Of course if I could tell Netflix to update my DVD queue for films that aren't available for streaming from my AppleTV that would solve that problem from another angle. Managing all my lists from one place should be easy. To have to ask my wife what films she wants to see from the AppleTV catalog, only to have to manually mirror that on my computer is a bear. So that's why I asked seeing that feature addition on iTunes.

HT201272 Can somebody tell me why there is no "purchase" button on my screen? I pull up my wish list- and am ready to purchase- but cannot find the button. I feel stupid- but it's just nowhere to be found on my screen. Please help.

Can somebody please tell me why there is no "purchase" button on my screen? I go to my WISH LIST and am ready to purchase but I cannot find the button. I feel ridiculous. Please help.

There used to a 'buy all' button on the wish list screen but for some reason that has been removed from the current version of iTunes, you can only buy items individually by clicking on their prices (not the downward pointing arrow next to the price).

I can't find a way to purchase my iTunes wish list.

Using iTunes 11.1 - created a wish list of music to purchase, but there is no "buy" button on the wish list screen (unlike what the help page suggests). Is this a bug, or am I missing something really obvious?
thanks for any help!

In a recent iTunes release, they eliminated the Buy All button for the Wishlist.
You can still buy Wishlist items one at a time.

Rockabilly Riff From MAGIC GUITAR! Where to find!?!? Wish List!

Okay so you create a new song using magic garage band - how do you access the other options? As in, other instruments that you can choose from during the audition process? I did a search in loops as well as in SPOTLIGHT and all I got was a rockabilly.pst (echo setting).
WISH LIST:
There should be an option in garageband to access all the instruments ONCE the project is CREATED so you can change things around, adding different guitars, as well, all the songs should tell you what key they are in.
Help appreciated!
Thanks!

Crazy? No. But you do not understand how Magic GarageBand works. If you want access to ALL the instruments so that you can pick and choose yourself within the project, then choose "Open" and direct your menu to...
Library>Application Support>GarageBand>Magic GarageBand
Make sure to save it elsewhere before you make any changes.
These are not loops within the library, they are "one shots".

HT5731 How do I purchase the music on my wish list? I can't seem to find a buy button??

How do I purchase the music on my wish list? I do not see a 'cart' or a buy button??

There used to be a 'buy all' button on the wish list screen, but for some reason that has been removed on the current version of iTunes. You will need to buy each item individually, there should be a 'buy' button to the right of each.
If you'd like the 'buy all' button to be brought back then you could try leaving feedbackd for Apple and maybe it'll be added back in a future update : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

My iWeb Wish List for '07

Just sent the following to Apple's iWeb Feedback; figured I'd post it here as well just for the heck of it.
Some of these requests may apply only to my particular -- some would say peculiar -- workflow, but I suspect there are at least a couple which other user's might share.
(using iWeb 1.1.2 under OX X 10.4.8)
One User's iWeb Wish List:
1) Option to have Comments included in Captions for online albums.
When Importing pics from iPhoto, there should be four checkboxes:
one for Image Name (i.e. Title),
one for Date,
one for Time,
and especially one for Comments!
-- allowing the user to determine which of those four bits of iPhoto info are included in the Captions for any kind of online album. It's crazy that right now I can't put up an iWeb photo page that automatically includes the Comments I've taken the time to enter in iPhoto as part of that photo's Caption online.
If iWeb wants to claim true integration with iPhoto, then this feature seems like a pre-version 1 no-brainer.
2) "Open in New Window?" option for Hyperlinks.
When designating some text or a picture as a link, PLEASE give us the option to make that link one that will open in the browser's current page (the default), OR one that will open in a NEW PAGE.
That's a basic design choice which the creator of any web page should be allowed to make.
(At least with Homepage I was able to fool it by adding
" target="_blank
to the URL I was entering, making Hompage think the addition was actually part of the URL, but causing any browser to see it as the HTML command to open the preceding link in a new window. Unfortunately I can't seem to get this trick to work in iWeb -- would love it if someone could tell me why.)
3) User-configuarable slideshows.
When I first started using iWeb, and saw how configurable the pages themselves were, I naturally searched for the Slideshow options. Just basic stuff, like the seconds per-slide duration; the kinds of transitions; the default to change slides manually or automatically; whether to have the controls and the top row of thumbs always visible or show only when you mouse over them; whether to use the reflection effect; what color background to use; the image display size -- that kind of thing. (The kind of control offered in the shareware program ShutterBug, for example.)
You already know what I found: zilch. It almost feels like two different teams developed the two parts of the program (the wonderfully-customizable Page Creator vs. the take-it-or-leave-it Slideshow) -- or maybe they just ran out of time before the iLife '06 release, and had to throw in the Slideshow part before it was ready.
4) Previewable Slideshows
And then I find that not only can I not customize the Slideshow in any way, I can't even preview it within the app itself -- I have to publish the page first, then "preview" it in a browser. This whole section of the iWeb app is definitely not ready for prime time.
5) More web viewing options.
The viewer of my iWeb photo page should be able to click on a thumbnail and have it open as either an image in its own window, OR (as is the case in HomePage) as the first frame in a slideshow.
And even when it opens as an image in a separate window, there should still be the basic <-PREV and NEXT-> buttons to allow the viewer to keep looking at the full-sized images without having to close each window and then double-click on the next thumbnail.
6) Automatic page length extension.
Would be a nice user pref to have the page height automatically adjust as new content is added, or as pix are dragged down past the current bottom of page.
7) Space-saving Import options.
In order to conserve space on our .Mac accounts, and make for better downloading times of the photo page itself, iWeb needs to offer several Import options once the desired pics from an iPhoto Library (or just from a Finder folder) have been selected:
Let users pick whether the photos will be uploaded full-size, or automatically reduced to a user-definable maximum height and/or width.
And make sure to also have (perhaps under an Advanced tab) a sliding scale of jpg quality, with an instant feedback showing what the total file size will be at that particular setting.
These size and quality parameters should be applicable either to individual files, or to the entire Import as a whole.
8) Tell us the URLs.
Simply mousing over a page or site name in the Site Organizer pane (or right-clicking on same), should reveal its full URL as currently published, and allow you to easily copy that URL to the Clipboard (and in turn Paste that URL into a document or an e-mail).
I know the iWeb URLs all follow the same naming pattern, but why not make it easier for us to access and Copy/Paste those URLs, instead of having to "figure them out"?
9) Make the Text Boxes easier to see and to move.
Right now a newly-inserted Text Box is virtually invisible, and until you actually type some text into it it's bloody hard to grab a hold of.
I'm hoping most of these features have already been incorporated into the next release of iWeb -- and if not, that you'll give serious consideration to implementing all of them as soon as possible. Your users will thank you!
John Bertram

This is a user forum, so we can't help with this! You
can provide iWeb feedback in the File menu of the app.
Indeed -- hence the very first line of my post:
"Just sent the following to Apple's iWeb Feedback; figured I'd post it here as well just for the heck of it..."
Also why I didn't post it as a Question seeking help. Nevertheless, thanks for pointing me both to your site and the RowanCottage one. I'll check out all the iWeb tips on both.
Meanwhile...
2) "Open in New Window?" option for Hyperlinks.
Here's how to do it:
http://web.mac.com/varkgirl/iWeb/Varkgirl/Open%20links
%20in%20new%20window.html
Let's hope that any of these workarounds will soon be a thing of the past. I have to believe that the iWeb team has realized by now that giving the user (i.e. the iWeb page creator) the option to designate how each and every link should open (same page or new page) is such a basic, obvious feature that it MUST already be implemented in the next iWeb, and is only awaiting the release of iLife '07 -- or whatever the next iLife suite will be called.
6) Automatic page length extension.
Would be a nice user pref to have the page height
automatically adjust as new content is added, or as
pix are dragged down past the current bottom of
page.
Um, it does this already.
Then I must be doing something very wrong. I just tried again -- grabbed a graphic, dragged it down to the bottom of the page so that half of it was now out of site, let go and voila -- nothing. "Content Height" in the Page Inspector didn't change one pixel.
Even the "Creative" at the downtown Toronto Apple Store -- who I happened to see giving an iWeb demo/workshop the other day -- said the only way to extend the page length was to add a larger value to the Content Height box in the Inspector.
But I'd still love to know if there's a more intuitive, hands-on kind of way.
9) Make the Text Boxes easier to see and to move.
Turn on "Show Layout" in the View menu
I already did. My point was that even with "Show Layout" on, the faint grey text box that first appears is often hard to see, especially against certain backgrounds. Interestingly, that same Apple Store staffer made the exact same observation (with no prompting from me), and also commented on how the initial blank text box was also tricky to grab and reposition -- he said he always just types some random garbage text first, THEN moves the now much more easily grabbable text box to where he wants it on the page.
Anyway, I felt at least a little vindicated to hear an Apple frontline employee share a couple of the same little annoyances that had been bugging me just a few days earlier!
Cheers,
John Bertram

Wish list for audiobooks

I have an iPad 1 & when I find an audiobook in iTunes on my iPad that I may want to buy in the future, I cannot see any way to mark it or save it to a wish list.
Does any one know of such a feature?

I have had the same question. I see you're able to add items to your wish list on your computer by clicking the arrow pull down menu next to the buy button. Then you can view those added items on your wishing on your iPad. But for some reason you can't add items to your wish list from your iPad. It's a strange design flaw to say the least.

My FinalCut Wish List

My Valentine's gift to Apple's FCP feedback site was the following Wish List (which I figured I'd also post here just for the heck of it).
Some of these feature requests may only apply to my particular -- some might say peculiar -- workflow, but I suspect a few of them might strike a responsive chord with other FinalCutters. (Whether any of them are on Apple's Do List is of course another question.)
(using FCP 5.1.2 under OX X 10.4.8)
One User's Final Cut Pro Wish List:
(sent to Apple's FinalCut Feedback site, Feb. 14/07)
An Undo History.
If Final Cut can "remember", say, 10 levels of Undos (or whatever that user pref is set to), then why can't it display an Undo History palette, with brief descriptions of each Undoable action - a la Adobe Photoshop?
The fact that even FCP's Edit Menu just says "Undo" and "Redo" -- with no attempt to even say what it is you're about to Undo or Redo, is really pretty sad.
A "Learning Mode".
An easy-to-turn on or off mode in which more detailed Hint Dialogs (like Tool Tips on steroids) appear onscreen -- with definitions, suggested uses, possible workflows, even links to the reference manual. All very context-sensitive, and all designed to hold-your-hand and help you understand a new area of the app.
I'm not the least bit too proud to say I would use that mode a LOT (at least when no-one else was looking!).
Option to Auto Scroll the Timeline while in Play.
Likewise for an audio waveform displayed in the Viewer. Is this feature really that hard to implement?
And while we're on the subject of things people have been requesting for a long time now, let's add another chorus for...
Robust, Reliable, User-Friendly and Intuitive Media Management.
Auto Pitch-Correction Option when doing Speed adjustments.
This seems like a no-brainer: just like the "Frame Blending, yes-or-no" checkbox when you Cmd-J to do a speed adjustment, there should be a "Pitch Correct Audio?" checkbox right in the same dialog. It's really very embarrassing that FinalCut still refuses to do this audio function. This is NOT something you should have to transfer into a whole 'nother app to do, or have to apply a special AU Pitch filter to the clip just to try and get it to sound normal again.
which reminds me...
How about a Round-Tripping to Soundtrack workflow that actually works?
(I've had two Apple Store "Creatives" unable to get it to work properly, and several FCP veterans advise me to just avoid that workflow altogether, at least until it's thoroughly "deflake-ified")
Better Labelling Options.
Would love a way to apply text labels (and color codes) to Timeline Tracks (in the left-side info pane). For example, so I can add the label "Dialog" to tracks A1 and A2, "Narration" to tracks A3 and A4, "Music" to tracks A5 and A6, etc, -- and then maybe even color-code groups of tracks for quick reference.
And how about a much clearer, user-definable indicator to highlight which window (Browser/Viewer/Timeline) is currently active -- a selectable color for the active title bar (or even framing the entire window) -- instead of the current medium-grey vs. light-grey all against a grey background (not the most dynamic visual cue).
And just as I can color-code Browser icons, I would also like to be able to color-code Timeline tabs -- AND change their left-to-right order simply by dragging.
Miscellaneous
A few quirky little things I'd like to be able to at least try:
An Option/Preference for the Timeline to be auto-selected when you drag a clip onto it.
An Option to keep a Timeline Zoom-In centered on the playhead position, rather than on the start of a selected clip.
A Poster Frame option for thumbnails in the Timeline (especially if one's been set in the Browser; as opposed to the current first-frame-or-nothing default)
I'd like the ability to Link multiple video items to a single audio item in Timeline, and create a merged clip from that selection (using the audio clip as the "anchor")
And why does the "Delete All markers" command only delete markers from selected clips where the playhead happens to be -- I still can't find a way to delete clip markers from ALL selected clips, regardless of where the playhead is.
I hope that most of these features have already been incorporated into the next release of FinalCut -- and if not, that you'll give serious consideration to implementing them as soon as possible. Your users will thank you.

Hi John
This ones a User to User forum, no Apple reps here
Indeed -- hence the opening line of my post:
"My Valentine's gift to Apple's FCP feedback site was the following Wish List" and
"One User's Final Cut Pro Wish List:
(sent to Apple's FinalCut Feedback site, Feb. 14/07)"
Also why I didn't post the letter as a Question actively seeking help. It's simply offered in the spirit of a Mike-Meyers-as-Linda-Richmond "talk amongst yourselves" moment ("I'll give you a topic: Final Cut is never final, but often cutting. Discuss.")
Nevertheless, thanks for the feedback. Further to which...
A "Learning Mode"
we are our own learning mode right here!
And an invaluable one, to be sure. I just feel that FinalCut could still build in a few extra "stairs" to make its learning curve a bit easier to climb -- stairs which can of course be skipped entirely by the more experienced users.
An Option to keep a Timeline Zoom-In centered on
the playhead position, rather than on the start of a
selected clip.
If there is no selected clip then the zoom centers on
the playhead. If there is a selected clip then the
zoom centers on the selection. Or just use the zoom
tool (z) and zoom wherever you like. They pretty
much have this one covered, its just a case of using
the right tool at the right time, not just adding
more tools/options.
This was a small one -- and perhaps one I shouldn't have bothered including. I just personally wouldn't mind a User Pref to the affect of "Timeline zoom (when using Option+=) always centers on Playhead" (the default for which would be Off, but which I in my own world of weirdness would turn On).
I'd like the ability to Link multiple video items to
a single audio item in Timeline, and create a merged
clip from that selection (using the audio clip as the
"anchor")
Thats called "Nesting". Check out Sequence menu >
Nest Items...
I've actually been having to do a fair bit of Nesting, often of just individual clips -- to the extent that I now have a Nest Item button in my Timeline button bar.*
What I was looking for here is something a bit different: really just the mirror image of when you have several audio clips Linked to a single video "anchor" clip. It would be in situations where I'm using a continuous chunk of audio to which I sync up bits of short video clips. Some of those video clips are from that same (call it the master) take, while others are from different takes in which the actor spoke a phrase in the same rhythm. In certain situations, I just want to be able to Cmd-L Link ALL those video clips on the Timeline to the one Audio clip, while at the same time not linking other interspersed video clips which are simply cutaways. But I still want all the clips to remain separate and un-nested.
* Don't know if that explanation makes any sense, but as to the Nesting issue itself: Is there any way to force a Filter effect to be applied AFTER a Motion tab effect? I'm asking because I have a sequence to which I'm applying a Widescreen Matte filter to each clip. (The filter has to be applied to each clip individually to allow for vertical repositioning using the Offset control.) But some of the clips also require a Scale adjustment under the motion tab, increasing the image size to 105 or 110%, for example. In these cases, I find I have to apply the Scale change, then Nest the Clip, THEN apply the Widescreen Matte filter to the nested clip. If I try to do both in the original unnested clip, the Widescreen matte gets applied first, then that entire matted image is Scaled to whatever % I've chosen -- and that obviously changes the apparent size of the matte onscreen.
While you can easily change the order in which different Filters get applied to a clip, I've yet to find a way to change the order in which Filter effects vs. Motion tab effects are applied. Maybe I'll post this issue as an actual Question in a new thread.
Meantime, I hope that clarifies a couple of the quirkier items on my FinalCut WIsh List.
Cheers,
John Bertram

Is there a way to access my wish list in iTunes from my iPad

Is there a way to access my wish list in iTunes from my iPad

I'm asking the same sort of question in another thread. I had access to my wish list on my ipad2 but now I can't seem to find it. Dammed frustrating.

Wish List UK access and longgevity

It could be teething trouble, but here in the UK anyway, I find that the Wish List function works on and off. I hope this gets sorted out.
I'd like to know if anybody can confirm that the tracks/albums I place there will never be removed? I have had some items on my Amazon wish list which have been there for years and are slowly getting the financial treatment - I don't want them to ever be removed.
Anybody know about these questions?

Hmm, seems to be working quite well now. But there's no export :(( I hop my list doesn't disappear anywhere!

How do I access my iTunes wish list on mini pad purchased 1/11/2013?

How do I access my ITunes wish list? I cannot find a link.

Thanks for your answer. Prior to submitting my question, I called Apple Support and they tried to sell me a software insurance policy for $249.50/year before they would answer my question.
