For crying out loud - leave my Start Menu the way I want it!

I put the Start Menu folders for QuickTime and iTunes inside an "Audio" subfolder. I also delete the desktop and quick launch shortcuts for both, as things look tidier like that. But it now seems that I am not allowed to do either of those - if you start iTunes or QuickTime without the shortcut being in the correct folder on the Start Menu, they reinstall, replace the shortcuts where Apple thinks they should be, and restore the desktop and quick launch shortcuts for good measure.
Apple, this is WAY out of line. Desist forthwith - the buggy 1.2 firmware for the iPod was annoying enough, but I'm now about to uninstall iTunes 7 until this is fixed. Go and read the Windows UI guidelines...

C'mon, guys, pretend this is as important as someone cracking your DRM!
it's a user to user troubleshooting forum here. see:
What is Apple Discussions?
if you want to guarantee that someone at Apple sees your concerns, submit feedback at the iTunes application feedback form:
iTunes application feedback
in the meantime, there's some info on workarounds with the Start menu thing in krydog's post in this thread:

Should I install Logic 8 on my new iMac for crying out loud?

I'd like to - but just wanna make sure... or should I wait for updates before even playing with it?
Shall I keep Logic 7.2 on here for any reason? And what do I do about old 7.2 files opening in 8? What happens?
Thanks.

Four Gigzs will be fine, as it handle processing quite smooth some time i load stuff up and i have to wonder if i was about to load something that is how quick it is.
Logic 7 not being in the Dock at this moment is minor, if you know that it can be launch else where, just also remember in Apple Key-Note on Leapard their is a Dock 4 stuff on the Desk-top which is smart for stuff to pop-up as you would from the Dock.
You can also set the prefference on a L.7 song to open in Logic 8 on the info.
These faults can't be forever, but is Minor if you know Logic inside out, if not then it seems like a nightmare, eg i now has to use the mighty-mouse the one with the tail as my Emagic-Logic Mackie controller doesn't work any more and seems to be a bit scared of the new Logic, hopefully i know Apple will have it working sooner than later.
On a level this Version of Logic is a must have, they have done so much to it its fun!
Except for a few windows that you have to go close and see what's going on, that is a lot smaller than L.P 7 other than that things that i see and the way it looks and run is more than amazing.

For crying out loud Apple turn off autocorrect.

Apple,
It's simple !!!!!!!
AUTO CORRECT..........................OFF
SPELL CHECK..............................ON
I'm sick to death of the stupid thing correcting words that are what I want, I want to proof read it and see everything it thinks is wrong underlined in red.
That's it, some of use the iPad as technical support for work and it simply can't handle the multitude of words acronyms etc,
Please give us the option to have auto correct off and spell check on.
Ryes (because the **** thing won't let me have RGDS) Simon.

Have you tried Settings > General > Keyboard > Auto-Correction and Check Spelling ?
Currently if you turn Auto-Correction OFF you also turn Check Speling OFF as well. There is no way to to have Check Spelling ON and Auto-Correction OFF.
That's what the complaint is about - It's not the first.
To the original poster tell Apple your wish at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Switch iPad to spell check uk english for crying out loud

Started with simple document created on iPad2 using Pages 1.6 (504) - noticed spell check default is US English (eg summarize) but I need UK English.
Went through all the settings in iOS Pages to try to switch - no luck.
Went to my iMac, Safari, iCloud, pulled down document, (incidentally noticed it had a problem with missing font despite fact that I'm using defaults throughout), opened in Pages '09 v4.1 (923) selected all, went to inspector, changed to UK English, saved.
Uploaded document to iCloud/iWork - selected 'replace' when given option.
Went back to iPad. Noticed Pages documents had not refreshed. Shut down iPad. Re-started. Selected document, opened, and magically it had reverted to US spelling. Also now has a problem with missing font Calibri - in fact I don't give a tinker's cuss which font it uses, I simply want it to spell in vernacular.
Repeat all of above. Confirmed document when opened on iMac had indeed kept UK spelling, ie problem has something to do with iPad settings.
All-in-all wasted an hour. So much for iCloud/iWork. iGiveUp.
Any ideas?

what's not clear is which keyboard is active since there's no indication.
You can make it clear by holding down the "globe" key and choosing what you want from the list. Or how about deleting the keyboard which does not say English (UK).
Spellcheck normally follows the keyboard on iOS devices and what app you are using is irrelevant.

I am no longer the Admin? For crying out loud!

My account type in System Prefs says Standard, when I want to add an application to my folder it asks for a User name and password, but the ones that worked before upgrade no longer do. Please somebody help before I wipe Leopard. The stupid messages that pop up when I download somthing and want to unzip are bad enough - what am I, twelve? - but not letting me into my own computer is really a bit of a wind up. Help help help somebody!

Go to  menu > System Preferences... > Accounts > .
Click the lock at the bottom and enter your Username and Password.
You should now be able to change your account to Admin.

What Mac OS is needed to use Fifrefox 4, for crying out loud? This is not documented anywhere! I installed it, and, upon launching, I was told I it is not supported by my computer (Power Mac G5, OS 10.4)

No need for further details.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

If you prefer, you can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, APPLE!

Yes, I too am having the reappearing email problem on both my computers since a few days ago. It's really getting on my nerves, as I'm sure it is everyone. I don't think the problem coincided with any software updates; seems to be a server issue.
So, Apple, what ever you did a few days ago, just please undo it, OK?
Sheesh!

I think Tony is probably referring to the problems described in the threads "Read mail marked Unread again few minutes later." and "Deleated mail re-appears".
There seems to be some change to the .Mac service that spawned these errors.

I'm using same apple id for my ipad & ipod but after start using the same apple id on my ipad, i can't update my free software downloaded on both, it's showing "YOU CAN NOT UPDATE THIS SOFTWARE SINCE YOU HAVE NOT OWNED THE MAJOR VERSION OF THIS SOFTWARE" so how i can update my softwares on ipad & ipod using the same apple id

I think the issue is that iTunes (for whatever reason) thinks I have two Apple ID's.
also, to further complicate the issue, when i try updating the apps from my iPod the iTunes store is still recognizing my old hotmail Apple ID. So when I go to enter my password it won't accept because it doesn't match with the old Apple ID, even though it is the same account (just new Apple ID name).
I have tried signing out within the App Store and re-signing in with my Apple ID but it still brings up my old Apple ID name when I try to update.

Could be. The "lock" isn't actually looking for a password.

How do I sort photos the way I want them to appear within an Event? Sort Manually is always grayed out. SAR

Keep trying but sort manually stays grayed out. All I want to do is sort photos within one event the way I want them to appear.

It's like iTunes:
You can view an music album on iTunes and there are all the tracks. The hit single, the annoying filler that they stuck on, all there.
Or you can create a Playlist of just the singles, or tracks from various albums that work together well, or just your favourite tracks from different artists and so on.
In iPhoto: the Event has all the photos taken at that time. So, all 812 photos you took at the Wedding. All there.
An Album allows you to just use the 50 best ones, and possibly group them with 12 from the Rehearsal and five others from the day after. Just the best shots. Or bunch all the photos of the groom from birth to today, or all the photos of the bride and her dog. Or whatever. Really, the limit is your imagination.
Like Playlists in iTunes, images in an iPhoto album are simply referenced from the Library. So a photo can be in any number of albums and use no extra disk space.
Then, once you couple your imagination with metadata...
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 50k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

Will iOS 4 for iPad let you organize pictures the way you want?

Hi,
does anybody know whether the iOS 4 iPAD edition specs say anything about being able to organize pictures the way you want in the iPad?
It currently sorts them with no options whatsoever either by date or by places.
I want to be able to create my slideshows the way I want, not Apple.
For now, I have to:
1- rename each file in the order I want, say, from 01 to 80
2- remove the entire EXIF info from each picture (so it doesn't have time stamps)
3- use a "touch" utility to change all the file dates to (current date+ 1second X picture number)
It's a bit hard and not accessible to the alpha user.
It would be nice to have a "sequential" and a "alphabetic" order in the slideshow options, as well as ascending and descending parameters.
Any clue?

Hi,
I already updated it this morning and moved the suffix as a prefix in order to get the iPad pictures grouped together instead of every other file. It's easier to select all iPad_pic01, iPad_pic02... files as they are together, rather than pic01_ipad, pic02_ipad,etc
1. I suggest that you should post your program description and
link as a brand new topic so that everyone with the same
annoying problem can find it. I would call it something like
"Photo Sort Problem SOLVED".
I'll do that in a very short time, once I have enough feedback about the stability of the utility.
2. The link you posted needs to have a .html at the end.
Yeap. I'll correct the ipad directory to be redirected on the ipad.html file.
3. Would it be possible for your program to handle some other image
formats with EXIF tags, especially Png's?
I'll check this. If my EXIF class handles them (it should also handle TIFF since Exif derives from TIFF), I will implement this a.s.a.p.
4. Would it be possible to directly change the subject files instead
of creating the _iPad copies? Perhaps as a user option?
Yes, I'm working now to add this as an option:
1) overwrite the original picture without backup copies (keeping the same name)
2) prefix the file name with a string of your choice
3) suffix the file name with a string of your choice
Thanks for your input.

I have made an imovie on my ipad and for some reason the final edit will not keep. When I open the actual projct to edit, it is the way I want it, but when I look at the actual movie

I have made an imovie on my ipad and for some reason the final edit will not keep. When I open the actual projct to edit, it is the way I want it, but when I look at the actual movie and what loads up to youtube is the version prior to this final fix. I have tried fixing it at least twenty times. The open to edit version has the video the way I want but when I upload it to youtube, its not the version I want to show.

Well, assuming all of the above, Notifications, etc., it just might be time for a visit to the Apple tore genius center for a session with the techs. See if it is a fault in the hardware or just an iOS reinstall is the answer.
One more thing you could try, backup so you have a record of content, then restore to factory conditions be an Erase All Contents and Settings. Then restore from the backup you just made. That has helped some with WiFi problems, may be it would work with your problems.
But with that behavior of another app with problems, the geniuses looks like a less stressful thing to do.

I paid my iphone and it still isn´t mine becouse i can´t use it the way i want, why ? for example i can´t do nothing without iTunes ?

I paid my iphone and it still isn´t mine becouse i can´t use it the way i want, why ? for example i can´t do nothing without iTunes ?
this is so stone age and android is so futristic compared to iphone since android can be use the way anyone wants and you can share or send anything to anyone with just using wi-fi direct or BT not to talk about free apps and music and video downloads :S so i have paid for my iphone but still it isn´t mine since im limited in a use of it

Let's try to explain this:
iPhones operate on iOS, which has the highest level of safeguards against malware. There have been ZERO reported & confirmed cases of a non-jailbroken iOS device suffering from malware.
Android's operate on an OS that actually ALLOWS significant modifications to the system, which, by definition, allows malware to easily infiltrate the device. Does it happen to all Android users? No. But percentage wise,it's basically infinitely more likely for an Android user to suffer from malware than an iOS user.
79 percent of all mobile device malware targets the Android platform. That's means an Android is 113 times more likely than even a jailbroken iOS device to suffrer from malware.
http://www.v3.co.uk/v3-uk/news/2291561/android-malware-makes-up-79-percent-of-to tal-threats-warns-us-department-of-homeland-security
Apple iOS and "other" operating systems were both listed as being the victims of 0.7 percent of all mobile malware.
The low number of threats targeting Apple iOS, despite the popularity of its iPhone and iPad devices, is largely due to the closed security model. This model forces developers to sell their wares on Apple's official App Store, which closely vets all applications before allowing them into the marketplace.
