Honestly - this is possibly the worst OS launch since OS 8. Will there be an update?

I have been a Mac user since 1992. I have NEVER owned another type of machine, and I have worked through every implementation of the OS since 6.0.
I know there are challenges in any OS update, but I can say with confidence that I am incredibly frustrated by the memory usage, as well as the time outs.

  • What is the latest iOS for iPhone 3GS and will there be another update

    What is the latest iOS for iPhone 3GS and will there be another update or is it iOS 6.1.3 and no more

    The 3GS is not listed in the supported list for iOS7. Unless Apple comes out with a major bug fix, 6.1.3 will likely be the last update for it.

  • This is possibly the worst documentation I have ever encountered

    I am a composer, entrepreneur, and I've actually spent a lot of time doing technical writing. I am using Logic Express 8, and, for example I would like to define a region that loops. Of course, I can find "resizing arrange regions," and all kinds of stuff about editing regions, but I can't find either "define a region," "create a region," "creating a region," or "defining a region."
    The whole point of documentation is to allow people to use applications quickly and easily.
    I want to create the intro for a show, and I am using a snippet of one of my songs. I imported the song, tried to edit it, and I get "volume locked."
    Again, I can't unlock it, and the documentation tells me to do things without giving me links on how to do it. I then search on the phrase I find in the documentation, and then I can't find further information.
    I can hardly use the app, and in my opinion, as an experienced technical writer, it is because the documentation makes it really hard to figure out how to do anything. No links, rare graphics.
    I feel very strongly that I could put together much better documentation, and I was a judge at a Technical Communications Competition, so my opinion is informed.
    I find myself postponing projects, just because the documentation on the Mac apps (since moving from Windows about a year ago) makes things really hard regarding the initial learning curve.
    I have a lot of suggestions and practical things that Apple could do to decrease the length of the learning curve and improve its documentation considerably, though I doubt that Apple doesn't recognize this "flaw." Maybe it is intentional. At any rate, it is very irritating not to be able to find even the most basic information in a help file quickly.
    I type in what I want to do, and the help app should give me a real procedure with where to click and how to get it done. If I don't know the "Apple" vocabulary, the help file should map my vocabulary to its vocabulary, instead of insisting on its own lexicon.
    I am very happy I made the switch from Windows to Mac, but the Apple documentation is at least as bad as Windows docs.
    Yuck!

    Hi Dainis
    i agree with your comments. being a pro user of Cubase for many years & recently changing to Logic, i've been struggling to do a new project with Logic. Logic itself is a major part of the problem with a confusing array of menus all over the place & too many options. the manual is rather like the cubase manual in having the info their but the language & explanation are not not simply & logically set out & certainly not easily accessible from the index. why do manuals only appear to have computer generated contents list without proper use of subject listings parading as an index.

    Back up your iPhone and restore from backup. If that's does not help, restore your iPhone as new (not from backup).

    hello...
    I am having the same issue here... just upgraded my 5s to 7.1.1 (never jailbroken - factory unlocked) and then boom... NO Service!!! Searching ... that's it. currently using Smart Telecom Sim... at first it was working for me... after 6-7 hours, it started the No Service issue. I cannot send a text or make a call...
    I did the steps you have taken but it is still not working... any updates on your end?

  • Just got a Canon G7 x only to find that lightroom 5 and PS6 don't support the camera RAW that it produces. Tried the Camera raw 8.7 and that didn't help. Will there be an update that includes this camera?

    Just got a Canon G7 x only to find that lightroom 5 and PS6 don't support the camera RAW that it produces. Tried the Camera raw 8.7 and that didn't help. Will there be an update that includes this camera?

    I'm sure there will be support for the camera eventually. But Adobe never announces that information in advance. It's possible that it could be added to the 8.7 final release and to the next update of Lightroom. But that depends on the timeline and if the engineers were able to get the camera in time to create profiles. You'll just have to wait and see.

    So you tried completely uninstalling all 5 itunes programs from control panel, removing all the files and reinstalling per this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923  ?

    Will there be another update to iTunes...undoubtedly.
    However, this is a user forum, no one here is a developer at Apple, so we have no idea when or what that update will entail.

  • When will there be an update for RAW files from the new Olympus OM-D E-M10 for Lightroom 4?

    Hello there,
    when will there be an update for Lightroom 4 which provides the option to import RAW-files from the Olympus OM-D E-M10 directly into LR4?

    Lightroom 5.0 came out in June 2013 with a public beta for LR5 available at Adobe Labs back in April 2013.  It seems you may have been unlucky purchasing the old version just before the new version came out, or perhaps LR5 required a minimum OS level your computer didn’t have.
    Purchasing a new version every year isn’t necessary, but you do have to buy a new version whenever you buy an unsupported camera.
    Adobe employees need to get paid just like the rest of us, and their releasing a new payfor version every so often is how they get paid. 
    Never mind that the new version has improvements beyond new camera support, so there was a full development-release-training-marketing effort behind it.
    The upgrade price is cheaper than the full purchase price and if you want Photoshop capabilities, there is a LR+PS Photographer’s Bundle that is half the price of purchasing Photoshop, itself:

  • LG Extravert possibly the worst phone ever!

    "Upgraded" to this phone and I have to say it was the worst mistake I have ever made as far as phones go. 1. The screenlock button is at the top right side, so whenever you grab the phone normally and try to do anything with it, adjust volume, whatever, the screenlock button is inadvertently touched more often than not and locks the screen up. Horrible placement for that button.  2. The speakerphone is the worst sounding piece of junk ever! I can get better sound out of a garage sale walkie-talkie! 3. If I want to listen to my voicemails, check a bank account balance, etc., and I dial from the closed position, as soon as the call connects, the screen goes dark and I can't put in passwords, account numbers, menu options and the like from the touchscreen. I have to open the phone and do everything from the Qwerty...AND turn off the speaker phone(which is activated when I slide the phone open) to keep my account info and voicemails from being soundblasted all over creation. 4. But, by far, the most irritating thing about this piece of junk is the horrible problem with texting. After having the phone for about two weeks, I noticed I could not delete certain texts. No matter how I tried to do it, texts would not delete! I took it in to Verizon and they rebooted it several times and every time the texts were still there! Since there wasn't anything horribly important contained in those texts, I took the chance at exchanging it anyway, knowing personal info was still on the phone. I took the new one home, and two weeks later, SAME thing started happening, only worse!. Not only could I not delete loads of texts(a few I could), I but texts that I hadn't even read yet were disappearing. I get the alert that a text had come in, I open the screen to read the text from "John Doe", and the text disappeared! I later found it in the folder of "Jan Smith". A response to a text from my son, he never got, but it shows up in the sent folder to an entirely different person. I sent an "I Love You!" to my wife. Doesn't show up there...it shows up as a sent text to a guy friend of mine. This is so ridiculous I don't think I will give this back to Verizon. I would like a credit on my account for the $45 in upgrade fees and taxes, and I want to keep the phone. I will take it home, throw it down in the driveway and enjoy beating the snot out of it with a sledgehammer!

  • TS5376 Help!  I can't fix or uninstall/reinstall iTunes without getting this error message: "The path \C\Users\(my name)\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update\iTunes64msi.' cannot be found."  So I can't remove iTunes.

    Here's the complete message:
    "The path \C\Users\(my name)\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update\iTunes64msi.' cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes64.msi' in a folder in which you can uninstall the product from iTunes."
    So I'm stuck in this loop in which I can't download an update, can't remove iTunes to reinstall, and can't use iTunes currently as it shuts down at the drop of a hat.  Am I hopeless or is there a fix I can find?

    See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. Use the same advice as in note 1 but for iTunes. Try the MS fixit, or leave it in place and go to the next step.

  • Every time I launch airport utility i says theres a new update to 5.6.1 so i click update and there is no update. Do i need to reset or restore my time machine? if so will I loose all my files?

    the problem is that i launch the airport utility and it always says there is an update to 5.6.1, i click update and it launches the app store and tere are no updates available. i'm wondering if i need to reset or resetup my router but am afraisd if i do that i will loose all the files on my hard drive. I think this also may be related to why i am unable to use the remote app on my ipad or iphone for my apple tv (2nd gen) any input would be bvery helpful. i am now running mountain lion for my OSX

    You must have upgraded to ML.. 5.6 airport utility is not actually ML compatible.. it will work but cannot be loaded as Apple ceased support at Lion. Hence why there are no upgrades.. you should not be using it at all. You are supposed to use toyland v6.1 included in ML.
    I would certainly just ignore it.. having 5.6 is a great advantage .. it is a tool.. ML version is a toy.
