Loss of functionality in new version

Beware of the new version of Blackberry Desktop if you are using Desktop Redirectory. It is missing in the new version. I have to uninstall and downgrade to the old version to get it back.
If you have an exchange server but no BES server, you must rely on desktop redirector to get mail on your device.
Is this a new trend for software manafactures? Create new versions and lose function the old versions had? I thought Microsoft was the only one that did that!

Apple has removed that feature along with several others, but
(5/12/2012) Missing 'Find Duplicates' feature in iTunes 11 to be restored - http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57557280-263/missing-find-duplicates-featur e-in-itunes-11-to-be-restored/ "Some of the features Apple has removed from iTunes will see a return, but others may indicate changes to come elsewhere in Apple's product lines."
Until then you will have to resort to sorting by a particular label such as artist and manually scanning, third party utilities such as Dougscripts Dupin (Mac) or https://discussions.apple.com/message/20570956 (Windows) to deal with duplicates, or revert back to iTunes 10.7.

The previous version of Itunes had a function where I could identify duplicate songs in my iTUNES library. I cannot find this function in the new version of iTUNES.

Please advise where this is in the new version?

The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library.
If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file.
There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.

Missing the filter function in the new version of Spotify? Come over here.

Hi folks,
Many of you have requested we re-add an option to filter from artist, album and playlist pages in Spotify. We're considering this feature for newer versions of the application but we're investigating the best solution. Therefore, we have a question which will help us make this feature even better than before:
What did you mainly use the filter function in Spotify for?
Please reply to this thread with your answer.

@Spotify What sort of kind of question is this? Are you implying that no one at Spotify has a basic understanding of usability? It sure seems like it. First, I have to ask why would Spotify ever remove a feature that is in active use? Second, why do the product managers/developers at Spotify not understand the existing use of "find" or "filter"? The reason this feature was put into the product is the reason it should stay in the product. This sort of functionality has existed in computer interfaces for decades. Visual search (i.e. having a human being visually scan every item manually) is very slow and prone to error. When there is more than a little information on the screen, having the computer search for the human is much more efficient and less prone to error. I would suggest everyone at Spotify get as much remedial education as possible in usability. Here's a place to start: What — Definition of UsabilityUsability is a quality attribute that assesses how easy user interfaces are to use. The word "usability" also refers to methods for improving ease-of-use during the design process.Usability is defined by 5 quality components:Learnability: How easy is it for users to accomplish basic tasks the first time they encounter the design?Efficiency: Once users have learned the design, how quickly can they perform tasks?Memorability: When users return to the design after a period of not using it, how easily can they reestablish proficiency?Errors: How many errors do users make, how severe are these errors, and how easily can they recover from the errors?Satisfaction: How pleasant is it to use the design?There are many other important quality attributes. A key one is utility, which refers to the design's functionality: Does it do what users need?Usability and utility are equally important and together determine whether something is useful: It matters little that something is easy if it's not what you want. It's also no good if the system can hypothetically do what you want, but you can't make it happen because the user interface is too difficult. To study a design's utility, you can use the same user research methods that improve usability.Definition: Utility = whether it provides the features you need.Definition: Usability = how easy & pleasant these features are to use.Definition: Useful = usability + utility.Even using these basic principles, it is easy to see the reasons that Ctrl/Cmd-F should be put back into the product. Measure how long it takes users to find music on a long playlist or long search results page without Ctrl/Cmd-F. And then measure with it. The only failures with the original design of find/filter were (a) that it was less discoverable than it should be in the GUI, i.e. no GUI icon cue and (b) it didn't filter/find using substrings very well or at all. It pains me be a customer of a company where the original wisdom of the people who built the UI of the v0.8.5 client (and previous versions) has apparently been flushed down the drain.

How can I perform the LINEST function using the new version of Numbers? The old method of using "command enter" to complete the array function does not work. Please help ASAP!!!

LINEST function using Numbers for Mac

Thank you for your help. This page is somewhat helpful, but I still don't quite understand. I am using the Numbers program, and my assignment calls for me to use the LINEST function to return a set of 10 values.
When I googled how to do this, a lot of pages mentioned hitting "command+enter" to complete the array function, but they were using an older version of Numbers and it doesn't do anything when I try it in the new version. I tried using "Index" with LINEST, and i've managed to get about 5 values out of it.

Should I uninstall previous versions of adobe software when I install a new version?

I have been using Creative Cloud for a couple of years now and have always wondered why I would need an older version of the software. Considering these unused versions of software are just sitting on my hard drive and taking up space.... can anyone think of any good reason why I shouldn't uninstall these old software versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.?
Thanks, Tom

It can depend on which versions these older versions are. If they are Cloud versions then I wouldn't think twice about getting rid of the older ones. But if they are from a Creative Suite you might find that they have functionality that the newer versions had stripped out of them Flash, for instance, had a number of useful functional elements ripped out of it when they came out with the Cloud version.

Where did the show duplicates go on the new version of iTunes?

I am trying to delete some duplicate songs, but cant find the function on this new version.

Yes I too would like to know. Looking at all the mistakes Apple is making lately in regard to their software I wonder if they think they are just a hardware company.

Upgraded to LR5.7 and PS Elements 13. Using a SSD which is becoming Full! Can I remove older versions of these programs without affecting the functionality of the new programs?

Yes, there is no need to keep previous versions of software on the SSD (or on your computer).
Also, you didn't mention this but if the photos are on the SSD, you should move them off the SSD to a regular hard disk using these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

You could just disable updates. Change these settings in about:config.
* app.update.auto - set to false
* app.update.enabled - set to false
You can still check for updates with the "Check for Updates" button in the About Firefox window, but it will download the update file anyway if there is an update available. You can also check which is the current release from here:

Compressor not opening / new version not functioning

Hi folks- This is a stumper for any of you non-Intel chip users.
Short version: A new version of Compressor was installed on my G4 recently , which doesn't function properly. I tried uninstalling it, and reinstalling an older version, but the older version doesn't open.
Long version: I'm a professional videographer, and use FCP (Studio 1, 5.1) on a regular basis, frequently using DVD Studio Pro (4) for authoring DVDs, thus using Compressor (my last version was 2.3) as an intermediary.
For an unrelated project, I recently purchased Logic (8.0.2), which during installation also upgraded a few other Apple softwares in the process, including an upgrade to Compressor 3.0.3.
Unbeknownst to me, the Compressor 3.0.3 doesn't work on my machine properly, I'm guessing because it's an older machine. I opened up Compressor today for some routine work, to discover a warning that said:"The installed graphics card does not support the OpenGL features recommended by Compressor."
This warning still allowed me to open the program, but when I loaded up several files for compression, it gave me a warning, saying "Each target assigned to a job must have a setting and destination" EVEN THOUGH every item did indeed have both a destination and two settings. Hmmm...
So, I figured that since Compressor 3.0.3 wouldn't work correctly, I would uninstall it, and reinstall my older version off the FCP Studio disc. But when I did this, version 2.1 would NOT open at all on the machine. I could click the application all day long, but it won't open. Hmmm. I tried upgrading 2.1 to 2.3 through Apple's Software update, but the 2.3 upgraded to the 3.0 again. Arghh!
I'm either left with an un-openable 2.1 or a non-functioning 3.0. Any suggestions, recommendations?

Hi Alberto-
Thanks for the reply, and the help. I was indeed dragging my settings onto the job itself (rather than the empty window), so I knew that wasn't the problem per se. But I'm so glad that you had within your previous post the URL to the Compressor Tutorial. Because at the very bottom of the tutorial page, I found exactly the problem I was having.
It's some strange quirk with Compressor 3--sometimes when you drag your settings onto the job, it still leaves the first line as a destination with no setting. That's what my machine was doing. It's an odd bug they should work out--and you can see what was happening on the bottom of the tutorial page you sent me.
Even so, I wasn't aware of this last night, so I had found an older support page about how to uninstall Compressor 3 (deleting files from the library folders & such--frameworks, receipts, et all), so I went ahead and did that, then reinstalled my Compressor 2.3 from scratch, and things worked well after that.
For the time being, then, I'm back to Compressor 2, but now I know that when I reinstall Compressor 3, I have to look out for that problem, and I'll know how to work around that odd quirk.
Thanks so much for your help, Alberto!!!

My Thunderbird has stopped downloading messages--how can I get it to function again. I have rebooted and downloaded a new version.

I disconnected my antivirus (Norton) and tried again, with no luck. Thunderbird says that I have 10 messages and tries to download, but then hangs up and quits. This happened all of a sudden with no seeming cause.

Thanks for trying to help, but the instructions (see below) are too complicated for me to follow. So I'll just have to leave my Thunderbird with its broken wings alone until perhaps a new version comes out in which this problem is resolved. I never experienced it before--until I installed Windows 8.1 (so maybe that's the problem!).

TS3297 iTunes library.iTl cannotbe read because ity was created by new version

upgraded from OSX 10.5.7 to OSX 10.6.8; when opening iTunes it ask for OK in terms; oked; when I went to open itunes it gave a message"iTunes can not be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes"

Actually, I from an article that said: move iTunes Library.xml to desktop and then Trash the iTunes Library.itl, then in ITunes drop down file to import playlist, click on the desktop iTune Library.xml file for import. After that both new Library files show up in the Itunes folder and the world is right. This happened to a friend who is a musician, singer, and song writer( Just won Best songwriter in Portland, OR) She was very up set at not getting to all her. She is all smiles now many years ago I steered her to MACs for her LapTop.
Thanks for your reponse, I hope this did not lose you points. I passed it along to her and she said a freind needed it also.

Loss of playlists on iPod Classic after upgrading to new version if iTunes

Everytime I've upgraded to a new version of iTunes, I lose all the playlists (songs,videos,etc) from my iPod Classic. I have to re-sync everytime and with a lot of songs it gets annoying and I don't want to upgrade to new versions. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks.

I've seen this once before and deleting the playlist and recreating it with a different name solved it.
Also... try using disk utility to burn a data CD to make sure that burning generally works. Daft I know, but there you go.
