Why isn't "hold" an option for the side switch on the iPad?
I'd like to be able to let my 3 year old watch videos on the iPad, but young kids want to touch the screen. I need a method to disable the touch screen. Seems simple, why isn't this an option?
Is there a way to write an app that allows the side switch to act as a "hold" switch?

The obvious solution is to put the iPad screen out of his reach. Now that's innovative!

I have a multi room DVR in my livingroom and HD boxes in my 2 bedrooms. Currently if you are viewing a program on one of the HD boxes you are able to record the live program you are viewing as the HD box will enable your DVR to record that show.
Why hasn't FIOS enabled the settop boxes that are part of a multi room DVR setup to be able to record future shows? Needless to say, if I am lying in bed at night and see something in the program guide airing at a future date I really don't want to get out of bed and walk to the living room, turn on the TV and DVR and then program that new recording.
If I have missed something and you can do this please let me know. Otherwise FIOS should add this to their customer's wish list and enable recording for future times on the HD boxes that are part of your multi room DVR system!You can already do that. Highlight the show in the guide and press the record button. You should get a pop up with the option to Set Reminder or Record on your DVR. If it doesn't check your DVR to ensure that availability is extended to the STB you are using.

Tabs on top? Why isn't there an option for this???!!!
How is it possible Safari was released without the option to place tabs on the browser's top??!
This was the single best innovation from Apple in browser implementation -- EVER.
Tabs on top was BRILLIANT.
<Edited by Host>So why censor my post????
http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Stocks_(Ato_Z)/StocksA/threadview?m=te&bn=60&tid=2450176&mid=2450176&tof=1&frt=1#2450176
There are already 7,000 viewers of the official "Tab Not On Top" thread the day after Safari's release!
Options should be the norm. Safari should be allowed to evolve through interaction with users -- not by dictation from timid anti-innovators in Apple's hierarchy.
I don't need to see the site title -- if I don't know which site I am at I can look at the location bar url. Shesh.
Let users decide!

Why isn't JPG an option for opening an image in Photoshop?
When Photoshop is chosen as the external editor, you only have a choice of TIFF or PSD as the file format. So when I wanted to make a small change to a 3 MB jpeg image in Photoshop, it came back into Aperture as a 40 MB alternate master file. This is crazy! I can't afford enough disk space for 40 MB files every time I want to modify an image in Photoshop! Am I missing something here?
The idea at work here is that Aperture is a non-destructive editor, and that you don't degrade your image quality until the final export. If you go to JPEG mid process and then make more edits then do a final export as JPEG, you're degrading your images twice... Pretty much any type of editing will occur at a higher quality in PSD or TIFF than in JPEG, even if you can't always notice it.
If you don't want to dedicate the disk space to those versions permanently, all you have to do is sort your project by file size within Aperture after you've done your final export, then delete the TIFFs/PSDs, which will naturally float to the top. If you put a lot of work in them, burning a DVD of them before losing them would be a good idea.
This is really "best practices," and as such Aperture is doing the right thing. -
Why isn't there an option for new tabs to open to your homepage?
This was an option in previous versions of Firefox. What sense does it make to remove functionality?
I don't want to have to middle click my home button, and it's absolutely ridiculous to have to install an extra addon to restore basic features that were included in versions that came out 5 years ago.
What's the deal?Here is the newest iteration of an addon that "fixes" this missing feature-
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/my-homepage/
Of course, just like all the others before it, it will eventually break the functionality of itself or another addon in some way or form and we will once again have to find a replacement that restores this very basic feature which other browsers have implemented but Firefox has taken away.
I never gave Chrome or any other browser the time of day because I never needed to, but since Mozilla devs are removing basic features that people want and continually refusing to re-implement them (due to stubbornness or stupidity, 7 years in the making) it's beginning to sound like a better alternative every second. -
Why isn't there an option for me to have my iPhone language settings in Welsh?
As a Welsh speaker I would prefer my iPhone language settings to be in Welsh. It would make it easier for me to message people if I was reading everything in my first (and primary speaking) language.

I was wondering why the iPhone 5 has the option for a battery percentage and the iPod touch 5g doesn't? I mean... they are almost both the same thing... just the iPod does not have the phone.
One likely reason is the % battery is not that accurate because of the smaller battery capacity in the iPod compared to iPhone and iPad. Users why use a % battery app post that the % reading changes a lot.

When you find iCloud in Settings, why isn't music an option? I have purchased iTunes Match and more space in iCloud, but when I go to music it says no music found? Help,
You enable iTunes Match on your iPad by making sure your are signed into the Apple ID you used to subscribe in iTunes Match in Settings>iTunes & App Stores, then turning iTunes Match and Show All Music to On.
Also, iTunes Match doesn't use your iCloud storage plan so you don't need to purchase a storage upgrade to use it. -
Why isn't there an option to send a photo right after taking it?
Currently, after taking a picture you can click on that picture in the lower right corner of the camera screen.
Once you do that, you can choose < Camera Roll, Done, Edit, Trash.
Why isn't there an option to choose that photo and send it as a Message, Email, etc. right there, instead of having to close the camera, go back to your photo albums, then choose the picture (which may take a little while if you have a lot of photos), and then choose the sending method?
Its kind of frustrating when you want to quickly send a pic!There on my phone running iOS 7.0.4. Reset your phone:
Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
Bear in mind, won't be there if taking a pic from the lock screen. -

Very excited about the new update - Thanks Apple for the keyboard update with new emojis! But why are there no ethnicity options for the families?
D.p.middleton the Adobe Application Manager has been available for quite some time. It not only allows Creative Cloud users to install their applications but also downloads and applies applicable updates. In addition it is also responsible for the licensing and managing your agreement to the terms and conditions of the EULA.
2. this could be due to you selecting a trial subscription to the Creative Cloud? If you go to one of the Adobe Creative products and select Help>Updates it will launch the update portion of the Adobe Application Manager which I believe is the portion you are looking for?
#3 I believe this was already mostly covered in the answer to #2.
#4 the Adobe Application Manager also receives periodic updates which affects both perpetual and Creative Cloud subscription users.
I hope this provides you many of the answers you are looking for? If not please feel free to respond back with any additional inquiries which you have. Also if you are experiencing any difficulties with the update process please post this as well. It may not be necessary to have a full understanding of the inner workings of the Adobe Application Manager to help you resolve your difficulties. -

The new iTunes update gives me no option for a "share" tab on the side bar for me to play home shared music. why? please help i need to listen to beyonce!! plzzz
"share tab on the side bar ..."
iTunes has not had a sidebar for over a year. You can see one (as iTunes 10 used to show) by doing View > Show Sidebar from iTunes' menu.
But I'm not sure if that is your issue. You do not need a sidebar to do home sharing. Are you running the current iTunes (11.1.3)? Have you turned on sharing in Preferences? Have you done File > Turn on Home Sharing? -
Why isn't my last import saving? I can import the pictures from the memory card, but if I close out iPhoto the just "imported photos" are nowhere to be found. Please help
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
