I Hate the new Discussions!

If you get lucky, all the topics in iPod will show up. Sometimes iPod nano will not be there, other times, only iPod with Video will be. Secondly, after I post a response, it brings me to this wonderful blank Apple screen.
What ever happened to the Warn Apple feature that they introduced about 4 days ago?? Maybe they didn't like it...

Or just make a rule that there's only one login
screen name allowed per IP address. It shouldn't be
that hard to implement.
Sure, you can get around that still and it might
cause pain for those who have a family and multiple
persons use the discussions in that family, but it
would prevent most from abusing the system (and thus
giving themselves points).
It would also cause major grief to large organisations and educational institutions which only have a single external IP address and potentially hundreds of users behind that IP address.
To be honest on the old system you could do the same thing, but as voting was tracked it was pretty easy for the Mods to spot (and I suspect that the same tracking is in place for the new discussions).

Contact Rhapsody to see if they have or plan to release an update for the app. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?

Does anyone else HATE the new iTunes Software layout?!?!?!?!?!

I HATE the new iTunes Softare for Windows! They made it exactly like Windows Media Player! If I wanted to use WMP, I wouldn't use iTunes!!!! But I preferred iTunes over anything else. It was much more user friendly. Now its like the rest of them!!! I hate it!! PLEASE, CHANGE IT BACK!!!!!!

I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
Ctrl+B to turn on the menu bar
Ctrl+S to turn on the sidebar
Ctrl+/ to turn on the status bar
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
Should you feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

How do i undo my IOS 6 update because there is no youtube and I hate the new software. Please i want to have my older version of software back on my ipad2.

How do i undo my IOS 6 update because there is no youtube and I hate the new software. Please i want to have my older version of software back on my ipad2.
I have installed the youtube app. But i hate it so much i just want my old youtube back. How can i undo my software update?

@doclochte
Well, if you loose functionality und good user experience due to apples and googles quarrels its simply not a matter of bugfixing. If you want to get rid of googles services (Maps, Youtube) you should at least make shure, the user experience stays the same. Without the youtube app custom made for easy iPad use, you need to buy an app to at least get fullscreen view but with a much more complicated navigation (iCabMobile for example). And GoogleMaps is right now still the far better service.
If google lets me use programs for free (to make advertisements) I'm ok with a beta. If I buy a very expensive apple device I'm definitely NOT ok with this, especially when I'm forbidden to revert to what I had before. PLease let me downgrade to 5.1.1 again at least.

Missing text markup features in the new discussions platform

Hi guys,
The old discussion platform provided us with ability to use some useful markup for:
rendering a source code (with syntax coloring) - [code] ... [/code]
rendering a text with a fixed pitch font - <tt> ...</tt>
referencing other forum messages - {message:id=1234567}
referencing other forum threads - {thread:id=1234567}
referencing forums - {forum:id=83}, etc.
I cannot find any equivalents in the new discussions platform, which makes composition of messages more difficult. Are there any equivalents?
Dimitar

Dimitar,
right now there are no replacements for the old tags. You can use the advanced editor to insert code into posts (which has it's limitations). Please read How to use the forum editor to create professional documents (Tips & Hints) for some more hints.
Links to threads and messages can simply copied into the post and the the editor will convert them to something nice. Or you use the add link button from the toolbar of the editor.

I absolutely and whole-heartedly hate the new vers...

Hello. I am not going to sugarcoat anything, I absolutely hate the new version of Skype, Skype for Windows Desktop. It runs horribly on my computer, and I have Windows 7, so I really don't need this new version. I know that Skype says they do not offer older versions of Skype, but I am begging you. I do not have Windows 8. I don't need this new version. I liked the older, more user-friendly version better. So please. Please. Help

I absolutly hate the new itunes, why change something good?!

I absolutely hate the new itunes, why change something good?! I have no time or need to get used to the new layout, it is NOT user friendly, things are in places where I'd not look for them. I even don't like the red icon. Please change it back.

Hhhmmm!
Not only have you not been polite enough to acknowledge or respond to my question, but now I'm really confused...

A big ITunes problem is the lack of album artwork that comes along with CDs you install and the lack of the "next" button in the get info area makes adding anything extremely clunky!
Do you mean this Next button...
...after selecting Get Info? It will be greyed out if there is nothing "next" that is selectable.
You then go on to say...

While you are correct that cover flow appears to have been dropped, you can still see the artwork in large form, by clicking on the thumbnail that you mention:
And if you hover the mouse over the picture, various options, such as the play controls and close picture will appear.

Why the new Discussions format is so wrong

This topic is not for what we like or don't like about the new discussions format, nor about what works and doesn't work. It's about philosophy.
Why do people come to the Apple Discussions? Why are the Apple Discussions so popular? What will the new format change?

Why do people come to the Apple Discussions? Why are
the Apple Discussions so popular? What will the new
format change?
I believe there are at least three reasons:
- To ask a question / get an answer
- For discussion
- For community
The new format focuses on the question/answer format only. It discourages discussion and destroys community.
Community is what makes Apple great. When someone becomes an Apple user they join a community.
The old Apple Discussions was a place for discussions, as well as for question/answer. The community joined together to help, to answer questions. It was a team effort.
The new format makes Apple Discussions like many other discussions, not a discussion, but a question/answer depot. Two people can be helpful, one can give the answer. End of discussion. End of community.
The old format encouraged partnership, the building of a helpful community.
The new format is individualistic: Question - answer - who's next?
Think about other help forums you have posted in. They are question/answer based. Once you have the answer to your question, do you go back? Rarely.
Why do the "experts," the ones with answers, come to the Apple Discussions? To help people, and also for community. The new format discourages discussion. With community gone, people will leave and look for community elsewhere. Then who will answer the questions?
The new format focuses on the question/answer format only. It discourages discussion and destroys community.
Do you agree? Disagree?

I hate the new Apple Map. The directions are confusing. How do I get google maps back on my iPad and iPhone?

I hate the New Apple Map. The directions are confusing and do not continue by pressing 'next.' How do I get Google Maps back to my iPad and iPhone? Thank you.

Start Safari
Enter the URL: http://maps.google.com/#bmb=1
tap "Go"
Now that you have Google Maps up on Safari, tap the bottom center icon (box with arrow pointing to the right).
Select "Add to Home Screen".
You will now have a Google Maps icon on your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch that will take you to Google maps.
There are other map services available. MapQuest, Waze, NavFree, OffMaps, etc...

I hate the new Z10, handing it over to my wife

I am a Blackberry poweruser. I have Blackberry everywhere along with all accessoirs. The background is, that I am travelling with 4 phones, for every country I have businesses in one phone. I bought the Playbook, to have a quick online banking done and to bigscreen view my emails. When talking emails - I have overall 32 email accounts, most of them with complicated server settings and I was p***ed having to add them one by one (not all of them are working).
Now I bought the Z10, about which I read before and I was excited while waiting for it to arrive.
To make a long story short - I hate it.
The only thing, that migrated from my 9900 was my address book with 960 entries. Email accounts needed to be add manually (10 of the above).
- No password keeper (needed to download it separatly - why?)
- No free google maps (dont tell me about sideload)
- No "select all" function in messages (it does happen, that after a meeting I have to delete almost every message out of a hundred one by one (also dont remind me of the select multiple function)
- Blackberry Bridge - why having a Playbook with the Z10, when nothing but the internet connection is shared? I could read/write messages, tasks, calender, no I can do nothing. I don't really need the Playbook anymore, because it lost its main ability. Over my 9900 i had the full internet speed on my Playbook, over the Z10 i have literally 59 kb / s!
- I hated to download another app for the new OS - why is the desktop software still available when link is needed to get to make it work?
- The maps are available for half of the countries I am travelling in. No Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Russia?
- When sleeping I had my 9900 turned off and it went on for the alarm in the morning. When shutting down the Z10, there is no possibility to have the alarm bring the phone back on. So basically you need to turn the phone on, to get the alarm working, which should have worked 30 minutes ago.
- I can change the sound for let's say the telephone but there is only the one loudness - no raising sound available. No possibility to change sounds for each email account.
- Most of all - What the f**k happend to the perfectly working push mail? Don't tell me, that messages arrive faster than they did, because the don't. When deleting a message on the Z10, I need to do the same on the Playbook and on my PC(s). I know why - RIM thought "why having customers to get extra blackberry plans, when Apple doesn't do that? We could sell the new phone to anyone, even kids and housewifes" - Here is why i hate it - this is what made Blackberry big. Some time ago a friend asked me, what in particular is so good with Blackberry phones (she's a Samsung user) and I said it's the email possibilities. She said, that she'd also check her emails over her smartphone, then I said, that it was faster and more reliable. What can I tell her know? Maybe "Now I have the same s**t you have, but I paid for it a little more and have less apps available".
- When clicking BBM on the hub, you only get to see active chats, you need to enter the app from the menu, to get the contacts list.
Good things to say about that phone compairing to 9900 is the camera and its focusing, the calculator
My wife likes it (she also has a 9900). It's "cute" and it has linkedin app and she is using the phone only for private use, so she's getting it. Too bad she is not also a facebook, twitter and what not user. Then she would be thrilled about this smart(?)phone of RIMs.
If RIM is going to concentrate on OS10, forgetting about professional users and forgetting about OS7, that this will be my last Blackberry phone and the last for my companies - and we have over 60 of those. (And no, we don't use BES).
Sorry for the chaotic thread, but I am just expressing my anger.

they thought moving away from BIS was a good idea? I just dont get it.
Consider...
In some regions of the world, BIS was included at no additional cost. In other regions, BIS included unlimited BIS data usage. In still other regions, BIS is an add-on cost on top of the also-required "normal" data plan.
Example -- in the USA, there are no low-cost unlimited BIS plans. The lowest cost BIS plan I could find was US$50/month, and included very limited data usage (250MB, I think). By abandoning BIS and allowing services to function via a "normal" data plan, I am able to operate my Z10 for a mere US$30/month which includes 5GB of 4G data (throttled after that level). So, for me, abandoning BIS actually allowed me to have a fully functional BB again where, when BIS was required, the monthly cost factor made that prohibitive.
While we cannot know the true "insider" information that surrounded their decisions, for some in the world BB10 will allow them to come back to BB where it was previously not affordable. In other regions, things will be a different trade-off. But it's all moot anyway...it is what it is, with benefits for some, and losses of function for others. And that result is actually pretty typical in the world...businesses must make decisions, and it is fully known that it's impossible to make 100% of the population happy.
Good luck!

I hate the new skype and i wish i culd go back to ...

My Skype got updated to the latest version(7.0) and I absolutely hate it.I use Skype everyday for at least 3 hours to talk to my friends and the new version is just awful and I cant keep using it. After about 6 hours on the new version I decided to downgrade to the prior version (6.2) winch I think was Skype best for now.It didn't work well (I couldn't read group messages unless I was managing the group and the chat was a little buggy) but I dint care because anything is better then the new 7 version.
Today for some reason it log me out of Skype and I couldn't log in into the old Skype so I had to update to the new Skype which made we very upset.
I do realise that the old Skype was old and the devs tries to make it look newer by following the win8 trend and that some people will like the new Skype and they are not as conservative as i am so i suggest the simple solution of giving people choice. Make the new version the default layout but make it possible to change it in the options so users which don't like the new UI can revert back to the good old one.

The new Skype is probably designed to match the Windows 10 style and feel over all three platforms it will be running on.
Skype versions below 6.16 (or 14 ) is retired, 6.2 is below so you cannot log in using that one.
This one however will:

HT1399 I just downloaded the newest version of itunes, and when I connect my ipod nano (3rd gen), I can no longer see my playlists (on the left hand side). I hate the new format...any way to revert back to the old one?

I just downloaded the newest versionof itunes. Now when I plug in my ipod, I can no longer see my playlists (listed on the left hand side). The new format is very confusing! How do I drag and drop songs into specific playlists I have? Is there a way to revert back to the old itunes?

I had the same question. Someone answered perfectly here post https://discussions.apple.com/message/20575126#20575126
The answer was click View > Show sidebar. Devices and playlists will display in the left sidebar once again.

I hate the update of the bar. It has totally done away with being able to skip back several places in the browser; now I can only click the back button and go back one page at a time. I otherwise hate the new layout, too. How do I undo this?

I can't choose a specific page to skip back to but must click the back button over and over to get back to where I want to skip to. The little headings "most visited," "getting started," "Youtube," etc. have changed. They look more colorful, but I hate how the home button is clear over to the right side of the page, etc. What was wrong with the way everything was before? I HATE this new update, and I didn't even want it.

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

HT1430 I have updated to iOS 7 but I really hate the "new look" of all my pre-installed Apps and the home scrfeen, dialling screen, contacts etc. It's really baby-ish and I would like to regain my previous appearance. Can I do this? If not can I uninstall

The new look iOS 7 is all "pretty" turquoises, lime greens and sky blue and the size of my Apps filed in their boxes are so tiny as to be illegible and the names in Contacts etc are allmuch, much smaller and totally impossible to read.
I absolutely hate it - it is not an "improvement"!
How can I go back to my previous settings, if at all?
If this is the way Apple is going then a completely different phone might have to be the way forward -surely we can have a choice - if Microsoft can continue to offer Classic as a look in windows, surely I can keep a classic iPhone appearance???
I am an older professional - I do not want a phone-screen which looks a like a jart of sweets - I want my highly organised, easy to read, filing system back please!!
Am I the only Luddite out there?

Two mayor reason:
1) If you restore the backup in your iPad some file is corrupt or make conflict, but you have wipe your iPad and you have restore all the apps from zero, and nothing happend, try to wipe your ipad and try to install the email and your icloud account (if you have) and make a test, if working fine add one by one the other apps and test, when you find the apps give you a prob try to install all apps without this apps and make a backup for the future.
2) If nothing happend ask the test on a Genius Bar near you maybe is an hardware problem i think.

I hate the new flat Firefox icon; how do I change it back to the nice 3d one?

With the upgrade to Firefox 23, you've changed the Firefox icon to a new flat design. It's horrible; I hate it; it looks awful. I want to change it back to the old swish looking 3D style icon. How do I do this please? I'm on Windows 7 64bit.

This page has .png files of old logo 128*128 works well:
https://blog.mozilla.org/faaborg/2009/06/18/the-new-firefox-icon/
Use this page to convert to .ico file:
http://www.convertico.com/
Save the created icon to local computer.
Then download this and use to replace icon, you need to load your FF application, change appropriate icons, and save. FF can not be running when you save.
Also go to desktop and taskbar, right click icon, go to properties, and change icon.
