Is there a setting to restore the old find-replace functionality in TextEdit?

Am I alone in hate, hate, hating the recently new find-replace functionality in TextEdit?
In earlier OSs -- and I'm not sure which was the last to do this -- Ctrl-F would pull up a find window that displayed both find and replace fields. I could type my search term... tab.... and type my replace term... and click "Replace all".
In OS 10.8.4, I hit Ctrl-F and the find field opens... but I have to click a checkbox to do the replace. Then I have to click the "All" field to make it find-replace all.
A quick search of the internet suggests I am the only one to find this annoying enough to register a username at apple.com and ask: Is there a way to make it go back to the old way? I'm getting old and life is already cluttered with too much click-clicking and checking and unchecking.

Upgrading from an iPad1 (os 5.5.1) to iPad Air. I want to still use the original, but want to transfer my iPad 1 stuff to my new iPad. Do I restore (doesn't that also restore the old os?) or set up as new?

I'm ipgrading from an iPad1 (os 5.5.1) to a new iPad Air. I want to still use the original, but want to transfer my iPad 1 stuff to my new iPad. Do I restore (doesn't that also restore the old os?) or set up as new?
Also, every time I get a new device and transfer stuff from the old, I wind up with no folders. How can I avoid that this time?
Thanks in advance!

Make a backup of your old iPAd to itunes or iCloud.
Then restore from that backup when setting up the new iPad Air.
The restore will put your data onto the new iPad. (The Os will remain at 7).
Folder structure is a little iffy. Since backups don't restore Apps, only data, you would still need to re-download the Apps to the new Air and as such would need to create the folders for them.

iTunes will back up the following information

Is there a way to restore the All Contacts app on my iPad 1. it seems the data and cannot turn a page or add more contacts

Is there a way to restore the All Contacts app on my gen 1 ipad? I seem to have lost the data and can't turn a page or add new contacts. I did try to reload the contacts (and I guess everything else) from my itunes computer backup but nothing happens to the All Contacts app. everything else seems to work fine on the ipad so I'm not sure what happened to the data or why. not sure i want to try and reset the whole ipad just for this one little app or feature...thanks in advance to any replies.

Sorry, had to sep out. I see the contacts "page" but I can't use the letters on the left margin or a finger touch to change location. Nor does anything happen when I touch the plus sign to allow me to add a new contact. So maybe he actual old contact data is still there I just can't get to it. Rick

I recently upgraded from an 80 to 160GB Classic but only some of the artwork in iTunes is synching. There was no problem with the old 80Gb classic. any suggestions?

here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

Is there any way to restore the 'Open New Tab' option in the tab bar drop-down menu?

After years of using tabbed browsing in Firefox, I've long-since gotten used to right-clicking the tab bar, and selecting the top menu item 'Open New Tab'. So much so that it has become reflexive. Now with v4, when I perform the same action, it now just reloads the current page. Is there ANY way to restore the option to the pull-down menu? I don't wanna have to move my pointer all the way to the other side of the screen just to open a new tab... (T_T)

Hello, I suffered from a similar problem with the new search bar type. I've found that you can go into '''about:config''', then search for '''browser.search.showOneOffButtons''' boolean and toggle that. This should restore the old functionality. (You might need to restart your browser)
Note that, like always, edit your '''about:config''' at your own risk.

Is there a way to import the old jazz drum kit?

I have some old tunes that were created with old drum kits. Instead of hearing drums now I hear a loud constant beep.
Is there any way to import the old garageband drum kits?
Thanks.

Which kit exactly is not playing?
Is there any way to import the old garageband drum kits?
Do you have a backup from the old GarageBand installation?
You need to restore the instrument library, for example for the Jazz Kit from GarageBand '11 :
Restore the file
/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Sampler/Sampler Instruments/Jazz Kit.exs
and the folder
/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Sampler/Sampler Files/Jazz Kit/
Then you should be able to use the instrument from the Legacy > GarageBand section of the Library.

IOS6 Maps function is terrible, can I restore the old one?

Help. What has happened to the Map application in iOS6? It is terrible, almost unusable. The resolution is used to be good, now places I could easily see in fine detail are either gone from the map entirely or the resolution has been dowgraded significantly. Railway lines seem to have disapeared also? What has happened? Why release an update with significantly worse performance than the one it replaces? I need the map app and I can't really use it in it's current condition. Can I go back to the previous operating system? Is there a way of rolling back my system and restoring the old one?
Thanks

Regardless, if the iOS 6 Maps app doesn't work for you, then it doesn't work. Apple reports that they are working on improving their new Maps service. You can reports problems via these procedures:

Until iOS 6 Maps reaches the level of finesse necessary to be fully usable to you, take a look at some alternatives:
Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bing/id345323231?mt=8
You can use Google Maps by creating a shortcut to the Home Screen with help from the article below.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/09/20/how-to-get-google-maps-on-ios-6
MapQuest also has a very nice app available.

Nokia Maps is another great service that you can add to your Home Screen via a web shortcut.

Waze is another very well reviewed app.

If i unplug my iphone while its "updating software" will it restore the old software? or is this a bad idea?

It's a bad idea. It *ought* to recover OK, but there are too many cases where it hasn't to be safe assuming that it will.
If, as Changren Yong says, you have a good backup, you always have the safety net of a restore, but it's a silly thing to do,
My advice when doing software updates is to download separately then update (you're always offered an option to download only). You can do what you like during the download, which is always the ling part of the process for me. The update usually (for me) only takes about 5 minutes.
One further point - in case you didn't know, you can initiate a backup by right-clicking the phone in iTunes and choosing Backup from the drop-down. That should always be part of your update process

Is there any way to restore the original function buttons on the main bar?

I'm used to having my 'Stop Loading', 'Home', 'Reload' buttons to the left of the address bar... Is there any way in FF 4 to add those buttons back to the bar?
I get the concept of chasing the 'awesome bar' concept, but some of us prefer to have more direct and immediate control of these functions, rather than having someone else spoon-feed over simplified controls to us.

That took care of it! But a caution to anyone wanting to do the same things: Make sure you know the exact name of your Persona if you use one, cause if you use the Strata XP plugin to restore the colors to your function buttons, because when you use the plugin, it will eliminate your current Persona... At least as far as I can tell- I can't find the original setup of my old Persona, so am now having to search for it all over again... :'(

I accidentally deleted part of an iphone (4s) note. Is there a way to restore the deleted text? I learned too late about being able to shake the iphone in order to undo my action, so is there any other way?

Restoring a phone from a backup will put the device back to the state it was when the backup took place, i.e. all info that you had on that phone before using the backup will be gone.
You could try to restore the phone, which will back up the actual data on the phone, including the passcode, and use this backup to set up a new phone with. The passcode will still be the same, because it is part of the backup.
More info here, iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
Not being able to fill in the passcode is not much different from forgetting it.
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

I have deleted iPhoto from my MacBook Air. When I try to reinstall it, itunes tries to charge me. Is there a way to reinstall the old version for free?

depening on what OS you're running you should be able to reinstall it without charge since it's part of the operating system. if running 10.6.8 or earlier you will need to use the applications install disc if there is one or if you only have one disc you can put it in and do a reinstall of the OS which will put the iphoto back on. if running 10.7 or 10.8 can sign into the app store w/ the same apple id that is associated w/ the mac and it should show in your purchases for you to reinstall it. you may need to click on the accept button if it appears next to the iphoto in your purchase listing.

I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

If you have been backing up on Timemachine.
All you need to do is enter time machine... Then the rest is obvious.
Find the iTunes folder and hit 'Restor'.
If not the only way to get all your iTunes music back is to enter iTunes Store.
On the right hand side you should see 'Purchased'.
Click 'purchased' and there you have it.

I want to add a Saved Mailbox, but I do not have an Edit button for Mailboxes? Is there a setting that causes the Edit button to display?

The user manual says to go Mailboxes and click the Edit button to add a Mailbox, but I do not have an Edit button displayed in Mailboxes. Is there a setting for displaying the Edit Button? I have the latest version of iPad (Model MD328LL). Thanks.

If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

The data fields in a filled-out PDF form disappeared after a crash. Is there any way to restore the lost entries?

Adobe Reader crashed while I had a filled-out Adobe PDF form open. When I reopened the file, I found that all of the data that had been entered into the form fields had disappeared. Is there any way to restore the data that is missing?
I note that the "Restore" command in the Adobe Reader file menu is not available (grayed out).
Thanks for your time.
