Has anyone else noticed that the new update makes your battery drain more quickly?

Ever since the 6.1 update my battery dies as fast as my android did! :/ usually I can go all day, not since the update. Any thoughts?

Some likely have... this is an issue reported after every iOS upate.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide typically resolves the issue.

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.

Has anyone else noticed that the iOS 6 Maps App is missing the area code for many places it has listed?

If I try to look up a local business on the Maps App it drops a pin on all of the locations matching my search parameters. However, when I get details about a dropped pin, the phone number is usually missing the area code! For example, if the phone number is +1 (123) 555-5555 it would show up as +1 (555) 555-5. This makes it impossible to call directly from the maps app or to copy and paste infront of a manually entered area code (because of the '+1'). Has anyone else noticed this?

Have you checked to make sure that your region settings are correct?

Has anyone else noticed that the Verizon reps in here are just not very helpful?

Maybe its me, but I notice that the worse responses to someone in need come from those with Verizon customer service. Its like they are not really paying attention to the question, responses, or problem and just type a pat scripted response with this annoying fake empathy.
I'll start.
Advice #1:
I think every Verizon Rep in this community forum should get a cell phone. An Android smartphone...on the Verizon network....one that just recently got the Kit Kat update. I WANT THEM TO FEEL OUR PAIN!!!!
(From many of the VZW CS responses, its like there are clueless to what is going on. Like they don't have any experience with the cell phones problems we describe.)

Has anyone else noticed that the flag accelerators are broken in LR5?

I'm running LR5 on Windows 64 bit and have noticed that the flag accelerator keys, P, U and X don't work. When I press these in the Library module, the text pop-up tells me that the appropriate flag state is being set but the flag never actually changes state. To change the flag, I have to right click and use the "Set Flag..." context menu. This makes editing a lot slower since I can no longer move through all the shots and pick selects and rejects using the keyboard. Can anyone suggest a workaround?

Rikk,
Thanks for the pointer. In the end, it seems that this was some local weirdness. It's been failing for a couple of days but, after posting the question, I closed LR and restarted and, hey presto, the accelerators and working correctly again. Probably just another case of Windows bit rot but I'll keep my eyes open for a repeat since I've never seen Lightroom behave that way before.

Has anyone else noticed since the last update to mountain lion, if you pit it to sleep, when it wakes there is no sound. you have to reboot to get sound?

I have found, in the past few days, since the latest update to Mountain Lion, if the Mac is put to sleep, there is no sound available when it wakes. I have to re-start to get sound back. Is this general??

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Has anyone else noticed that: "The OS X Lion v10.7.3 Update includes Safari 5.1.3 and fixes that: Resolve a Wi-Fi connection issue when waking from sleep" didn't work?

I installed OS X Lion v10.7.3 because of the following claim.
The OS X Lion v10.7.3 Update includes Safari 5.1.3 and fixes that:
Resolve a Wi-Fi connection issue when waking from sleep
It continues to be a real pain having to reconnect to the network each time I wake my MacBook Air from sleep.
Does anyone have a suggestion for the resolution to this problem?

It seems the update fixed old problems for some and caused new problems for others. Sorry to hear you're in the latter group.
Here are some things to try.
1. Go to System Preferences > Network, and click the gear icon under the network interfaces like so:
Whatever service order you have set, drag Wi-Fi either to the top (assuming it's not already there) or someplace else in the list. Click OK and then Apply. Sleep the system then wake it again to observe any changes.
2. Click Wi-Fi in the above then click Advanced. Select all the networks your computer has ever joined and delete them with the "-" button. OK then Apply again. Select your network under the AirPort icon to re-join it. Sleep and wake again to see if that did anything.
3. Try creating a new, temporary user account. Log in under that account to see if its behavior is any different.
You may have done all of these already but perhaps there is something you have not thought of. If nothing helps we may just have to wait a bit longer for Apple to release a fix.

Adobe is great software but has anyone else noticed that Corel has a better line drawing tool?

Adobe is great software but has anyone else noticed that Corel has a better line drawing tool? I end up doing all my line drawing in Corel because it is so simple and then importing it into adobe. You would think, with all these updates that they are constantly doing Adobe would think to simplify it's pen tool. I'm talking about the pen tool in illustrator. Don't even get me started on the bloody rubbish pen tool they've got in photoshop. It makes deep etching something properly a really agonising task.

I'm not sure that I followed everything, but you got a replacement phone and continue to experience problems? It sounds like a logical move would be to have AT&T replace your SIM card. I would doubt that the size/fit is an issue, these things are a standard size, but replacing the SIM will have an impact on the network set-up that might be the root cause.

Has anyone else noticed that Adobe Camera Raw 7.x exhibits odd behavior compared to version 6.x?

I have found no discussion of this subject on Adobe's forums, so I am asking here. I find that Adobe Camera Raw 7.x's "auto" mode frequently produces overexposed images with lots of blowouts necessitating much more manual tweaking than was required with the older 6.x series of plug-ins. Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

Anyone else noticed that the upload to iCloud from Photos.app takes a very long time?

I have a Photos library that weight about 60 gig. I have 200 gig on iCloud. Photos have now been sending data for over 12 hours at a 200 K/sec pace. Has anyone else experienced slow sending? Anyone who has an idea of what I can do? Or maybe it's just a very long way to send images from Sweden to US and back again to my other devices.

Part of the issue is that Apple's servers are likely under some strain. The other part of it is, how fast is your upload from your ISP? 5Mbps upload is the standard for most Americans, but that only means 625KB/sec maximum.
Apple appears to be aware of how long large libraries will take to first upload, which is why Photos preferences offers the option to pause the upload for a day. That implies to me that this will take many days to upload completely.

TS4083 Since I did an iPhone update, has anyone else noticed that it now freezes up and glitches like all the other Windows Phone? Or is it just me.

I did one updated just to ruin my iPhone 4s. I did the 2nd update and I wish I would have never udpated. How do I go back to my original iPhone setting without loosing all my stuff?

Downgrading to an earlier iOS isn't supported, and there haven't been widespread reports of this problem. You should try backing up, then restoring your phone. If you save your photo stream photos to your camera roll and back up prior to restoring you won't lose anything.

Has anyone else noticed that Software Update is not requiring a password to install updates?

I noticed this started after the 10.6.6 update on all my Macs. Anyone else experiencing this?

Thomas A Reed wrote:
The whole point of the password is to prevent software from installing without the user or admin definitively accepting that it is ok to do so.
Actually, it is to give access to areas that you don't normally have access to, and in the case of updates coming straight from Apple and installed from an admin account, it has been deemed safe not to request a password. I believe those updates are verified by the system somehow, so they cannot be malicious unless someone hacks Apple, and then you'd still think nothing of giving your password anyway. There's no reason to ask for a password in this case.
I understand this. It protects the "protected" parts of the system. But I still think that you should have the last say even if Apple is as trusted as they are. At the end of the day it is still your computer. I deal with hardware that requires firmware and software on a regular basis, and just because the company says it is ok to do an update, does not always make it appropriate to do so. A lot of times it causes more harm then good. There have been several cases (like iPhoto) recently where you may want to hold off on an update, and allowing all the packages to install in a bundle without a password opens you up for potential issues.
Thomas A Reed wrote:
anyone can come along in your house and run updates without your knowledge
If you've got untrusted people using your admin account, you have bigger problems than someone installing an Apple software update without your knowledge. If you are security-minded, you don't do that, and thus this issue becomes moot, and if you're not security-minded, then the issue is moot because you don't care enough to secure your computer.
Perhaps that read different from how it was intended to sound. My intention for that statement was not to suggest that I do not fully trust my family, but rather that they may not know what they are doing. Surely you have someone in your family that comes to you for computer advice? The password was an added security feature that gave me piece of mind from one of those "I don't know what just happened all I did was..." moments. If I wasn't security minded, do you think I would waste my time expressing an opinion about a security issue?

this opens a door for OSX to automatically add these updates in the future without your consent as long as Apple deems them appropriate
Don't you think that's a little paranoid? Why would Apple do that? Microsoft tries to copy Apple, not the other way around.
Actually no I don't think it is paranoid. I do agree that Microsoft copies Apple in every which way they can, and I am a 100% non-Windows household. I simply see this as a potential pitfall that Apple has opened up. Even though I do love, admire, and trust Apple, at the end of the day they are a business, and in such a decision could be made to "protect" its user base by allowing OSX to automatically add any updates they deem necessary whenever they want in order to "protect" the perception of their product. As I stated above, not all updates are wanted right away.

Has anyone else noticed that you can't download a single song via ITunes Match on the iPod app?

The ability to download a single song has been removed. Now it only downloads if you're playing it. So if I want to download a few different songs to play I have to go back into the app at the end of each song and select a new one to play. I can't create a playlist by downloading all the songs I want to listen to. Basically it has become a one song at a time service. Aka worthless. This needs to be fixed. If I can't get the songs I want onto the phone then why would I do anything but sync with my library since I can do that all at once. This may be the most unexplainable change I've seen on any apple update.

I have an audiobook that is over 100 tracks long and a few GBs in size. I simply cannot believe that there is no way that I can download a single track from that without having to make a playlist for the whole thing. I simply cannot stream it because my cell provider's 3G speeds just aren't fast enough to allow any tracks to be played without skips and my docks won't recognize a streaming track being played as legit so I can't listen through my car unless the track is downloaded. Plus I don't want to eat up many GBs on my phone when I only need a couple of tracks per day.
I don't know why Apple decided to take away the individual track download feature that iOS5 had. It was perfect for me. This new system in iOS 6+ just doesn't work and makes me want to quit using iTunes Match altogether (since I can't just manually drag the tracks I want to listen to to my phone before I leave the house). Maybe it was because Apple didn't like seeing all of the little iCloud buttons next to each track? Perhaps just give us a setting to turn it back on if we want to. Apple has ruined iTunes Match for me. I really hope they bring this feature back in the next iOS update.

Has anyone else noticed that on CC the pentool does not allow you to create an open path? When I try to make two open paths(eg; two separate lines), the pentool connects them automatically. Also it does not automatically close a path. This is both a probl

This is a big headache having the pentool respond this way. Does anyone else have this problem? I have also installed CC 2014 on my home computer and have the same problem. so it seems to be a problem with the program.

Hi Doug,
I'm sure I did not notice a difference in Esc key behavior simply because I have never tried to use the Esc key to stop the Pen Tool from picking up the current path.
I just tested with all these versions of Photoshop: 6.0, CS2, CS3, CS4, CS5, CS6, CC 14.x, and CC (2014) on my PC workstation running Windows 8.1.
Observations:
Photoshop versions 6.0, CS5, and CS6 DO terminate the creation of the current path at the current point upon pressing the Esc key. However, Photoshop versions CS2, CS3, CS4, CC 14.x, and CC (2014). do not terminate the creation of the path upon pressing Esc, and will continue the path with another pen click. Photoshop CC 14.x and CC (2014) may make it SEEM like the path creation is terminated because they hide the points, but the next click continues the path and causes all the points to reappear.
In every case holding the control key down (to temporarily choose the Direct Selection Tool) and clicking off the current path terminates the creation with an open path and allows the creation of another separate path.
No version closes the path (made the path into a closed shape) upon pressing Esc. The only way I know to close a path is to bring the cursor back to the starting point, watch for a little o to appear next to the cursor, then click the mouse.
With Photoshop 6.0, CS2, CS3, CS4, and CS5 the response of the Pen Tool was instantaneous. There was a definite slowdown / sluggishness in Photoshop CS6 and CC 14.x, which is now corrected in Photoshop CC (2014), which is again instantly responsive.
The only other thing I can think of regarding closing a path might be that when using the Pen Tool there are choices in the Options Bar about whether you're creating a shape or a path. Are you ensuring you have that set the same way as you have had it set in the past?

Has anyone else noticed that colors are washed out on screen on the white iPhone?

Comparing the white and black iPhone 4 side by side, I noticed that colors on the screen are washed out on the white iPhone. This is clearly noticable when clicking on messages and looking at the top where the word messages appears in blue/gray color. When looking at this on the white iPhone, its more white than blue/gray.

It could be just the contrast in color with your eyes looking at the white iphone vs the black one. Your eyes can sometimes play tricks on you. But in all seriousness, iPhone screens vary in color temperatures. I have seen two black iphones 4s that looked like they had different displays in them.
