My Problems With Apples Choice Of Gestures

I really think they had something unique when they announced Lion and it's new approach to gestures. In my humble opinion it was pretty innovative. But I feel they really screwed up. Here's why:
They introduced a new setup-
Three fingers for all the app related stuff, ie. Up for mission control, Down for App Exposé, and Left/Right for space,
Two for scrolling and navigation.
It was phenomonal. I thought it felt way more natural and felt easier. Only problem? Two Finger swiping (for navigation) wasn't universal plus it often interfered with scrolling. The later could obviously be forgiven, and dealt with; however the former really hit hard. Now because most power users (**** most casual users as well) no longer use the back/foward buttons and got rather used to swiping back and forth with three fingers, it's really awkward to being forced to go back to buttons.
Now we are left with two different swipes for navigation (one with the card sliding animation for safari and the normal one for other apps). This leaves users having to switch styles every time they switch from a browser to another app, which imo is rather unlike Apple.
Here's what they should've done imo:
1.Two opposing sets of gestures you can modify and choose from:
Set 1 (Default): Two Finger For Navigation & Scrolling (system wide, i.e. not just safari), three finger for mission control etc.
Set 2: Two Finger for Scrolling (only), Three Finger for Navigation, Four Finger for Mission Control etc.
2. Have two choices for navigation- (classic, or the new one with the animation). So whatever you pick that's the only style you'll see. For instance you pick the new animation, whether you use Set 1 or 2 only the gesture for navigation will use it. As oppose to now where you have two different gestures doing pratically the same thing for different apps.
Before you say it, yes I have already changed it in settings, hear me out completely. That's not my point. What I meant was that they should've pushed it forward it like this, and added the safari animation when you do a three finger swipe system wide, because right now it's not there.
It's easier too- 4 fingers for all the app related stuff, 3 for system wide navigation (w/ Safari animation), and 2 for scrolling.. It's more natural.
Like I said they could've of done good with what they have now, if they added system wide support for that two finger swipe animation for safari. Having it isolated sorta ruins it..

Put iPhone into recovery mode, then set up as a new iPhone and restore. This will download a fresh copy of the software and install it into your iPhone.
Do wait until the whole process is complete.
While iPhone is on, press and hold both power/sleep button and home button to force shutdown.
Press and hold Home button while you connect the USB lead to your iPhone.
Release Home button when "Connect to iTunes" is displayed. (iPhone is now in recovery mode)
iTunes will recognise your iPhone is in recovery mode. Select to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone, iTunes will download a new version of software and install it.
Once iTunes states OK to disconnect iPhone (in the display window) eject your iPhone from iTunes using the eject button next to the iPhone logo, then physically disconnect the cable.

[b]Problem with message choice[/b]

Hi, all, I have a problem with message choice because when I get the value it returns the value of index row.
For example I have this message choice:
<messageChoice model="${bindings.Dept}" readOnly="false" required="no" name="dpt">
<contents childData="${bindings.Dept.displayData}">
<option model="${uix.current}"/>
</contents>
</messageChoice>
If I select the first data of message choice it returns 0, if I select the second data it returns 1 and so on. But I want to return the value of field dept and in message choice I show the dept_name field.
Can anyone tell me how do this? It's urgent because I haven't much time to do this work.
Thanks, Matteo.

Matteo,
Maybe this works for you as well:
<messageChoice model="${bindings.DeptLOV}" name="dpt">
<contents childData="${bindings.DeptList.rangeSet}">
<option value="${uix.current.dept}" text="${uix.current.dept_name}"/>
</contents>
</messageChoice>
where DeptLOV is a LOV List type binding, and DeptList is a Range type binding that is based upon the Dept iterator. If one of these three does not exist in your project yet, you should create them manually via the Structure palette.

I m having problems with my iPad 2 gestures. The screen enlarges and will not respond to my attempts to restore it.

I m having problems with my iPad 2 gestures. The screen enlarges and will not respond to my attempts to restore it. Is anyone else having this problem? What is causing it and what helps to restore normalcy?

Try double-tapping the screen with 3 fingers and see if that zooms it back out - and if it does set Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom 'off'. If it doesn't zoom you back then try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.

Any one has problems with Magic Trackpad´s gestures on mavericks?

all my gestures have fade away with my last upgrade to 10,9,1, Even they appear to be activated but they just doesn´t work.
any one solved it?

Hi totito1984,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
My first suggestion is to simply restart your computer which will reset your Magic Trackpad.
If that does not resolve the issue ... try the troubleshooting steps in this article:

Is there some kind of problem with Apples servers?

My Apple TV suddenly said theres an update available so i went ahead and it gave me this-
Although it went quick but when it applied the update it failed and now im stuck on the Apple logo

I had no problem on my system. Are you on wifi? Maybe there was some interference at play. In any case, since it failed you will have to grab a micro usb cable and restore through iTunes

Problems with country choice

I live in France but am having considerable difficulty in getting iTunes to accept that I need to deal with an English language based store. When I choose 'change country' very quickly it reverts back to France from UK. If I try to configure an account with a UK address it cannot accept it because my bank accounts do not tally with it.
Perplexed and frustrated - David

If you wish to run iTunes in a language that is not the default for the country that you are living in (and therefore paying from), the iTunes helpdesk point to this article. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2242 . This article indicates that the iTunes store should pick up the language you have assigned to your MAC, however this is incorrect. iTunes picks up the language from the country you designate you are paying from.
You can change the country by using the flag button at the extreme bottom of the iTunes home page, however this will allow you to find the things you want, but you must change it back to actually purchase the content.
If you think, as I do, that this is a fault with their system, the ONLY option you have is to complain to their helpdesk, email address [email protected] If you ask to have the e-mail referred to Ashley, maybe the sheer weight of complaints will get this sorted.

LR 3.6: Problem with importing photos (system disk filled up).

Hi, I'm new here and in start I would like to apologize for my English. It's not very good.
I have a problem with the program Lightroom 3.6 (in 3.5 was the same)
When I import photos from disk into Lightroom, my system drive is filling up drastically.
Windows & applications (LR too) are in C (60GB OCZ SSD drive)
Catalouge is on drive D - different drive (HDD)
RAW cache is located on frive G - different drive (HDD)
When I view the photos to select the files I want to import my C drive is filled up by file:
C:\Users\Gimmickz\AppData\Local\Temp\cr_sdk_023324 10.tmp
When I restart lightroom, the space is cleared.
I saw that many people had a similar problem (they concerned the same file: cr_sdk_XXXXXXXX.tmp) , but occurred when exporting resized images.
I've a problem with the choice of images to then work on them. Usually I select 20-30, added to the catalog and then resets Lightroom to select the next images.
This is very annoying when I have to select hundreds of images.
If a solution to this problem was already on the forum, please do not delete my topic (cost me a lot of effort to describe my problem in English) - Just give a link to the solution, or write it again - plain English as possible. alternatively, please contact: [email protected]
It is very important to me - I can not fully work on this software - please help.
Regards,
Gimmickz.

Hi Hal!
Thank you so, so much for your reply!
Thats make sense.
Today I'm away from home, but tomorrow I'll check it, but I think this will solve my problem and I will be able to work comfortably.
However, such large temp files should not be normal... you confirm? (temp file after viewed a few (20-50) photos can be more than 10 GB.)
Best regards and again - thank you Hal!

Problem with Mac OSX Magic Mouse in Library

Dear Freinds,
me and some colleques, we got a problem with Apples Magic Mouse and Lightrooms Library: If the mouse is on the big picture of LRs Library, and you are swiping or wiping on the mouse only a very little, a lot of pictures are scrolling very fast, much to fast to handle.
This happens often without any purpose and that´s very annoying, because you have to search the picture again, that you worked with.
I think this is a bug of Lightroom, but I didn´t found a solution anywere.
Is there any?
Thanks
Marco

This behavior was also in Lr4 and maybe Lr3. The swiping with the magic mouse is oversensitive in a few other programs also. It is pretty annoying but I have finally got used to being careful with the swipe in Library on the big photo. I would think Adobe could adjust the speed for this but Apple should allow the user more options in the mouse settings panel. Apple seems to be going in the negative direction of letting the user customize the interface as they keep taking more setting features out. In their typical arrogance, it seems that they think Apple knows best and the users can just deal with it.

The screen shows problems with iCloud only choices are ignore or settings, however nothing I do will unlock it from this screen, cannot power off keeps that bubble on the screen. What do I do?

Try this now.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Many Problem with Gestures

I have problems with the gesture of two fingers on safari, it works sometimes.
Sometimes I can not move on with a gesture of two fingers, the page stays in the middle and does not work forward or backward.
Also I have problems dragging and dropping at times to drop the item still in the air and I need to click twice to drop.
Macbook pro late 2008 (i use Integrated Trackpad)

There's limited funtionality on the 635 and 630, so perhaps your phone isn't meant to support it.
What issues are you actually having? Have you ticked the appropriate settings (mine works fine on 1020)

Problems with radio, not save my choice

I'm creating a radio-based artist. Listening to music on this radio. Press the "I like" I continue to listen to music. This song appears again. But my choice is not saved.And it always happens on any radio. At the same android phone. How can I fix it? Radio listening is not possible

OK this is Cormacin Texas - these idiots have put me through the hoops, effectively locking me out of the support forum. Anyway I've solved the problem - it took 3.5 hours, involved a trip to the Genius bar at the local Apple store, and one and a half hours escalating through the dial-in help support - which was about the only thing the Genius was good for.
What you need to know is:
1. Apple are having problems with their servers, but have not published the fact - we've all wasted a lot of time because these guys want to keep their Customer Sat scores high, I guess. (I'm starting to feel like one of their Chinese factory workers!)
2. This server problem is compounded by the fact that it only affects a few random servers
3. It in turn can lead to problems sending emails which require you to change your Apple Mail password, and in my case surgically remove bad records for various hidden email and library folders. (Good luck with that!)
So, a problem that they hide, a knock-on set of work that the problem indirectly causes, which they also hide, and a support structure that is geared for hardware, not the services that they are now selling.
My suggestion is to change your mail password using the web (icloud.com) access to Mail and see if that works. After that, remove and reset up your Apple email (Preferences) and pray that you don't have to join endless telephone answering lines where some of the folks will cut you off because they can't be arsed.
The two guys that finally helped me were brilliant, knew their stuff and could not have done a better job. The key guy was Danny - if you get him, your golden!

Mac Pro (First Generation) problem with 1TB Seagate Barracuda

Hi Macianer,
I have a first generation Mac Pro which was sold with max. 750GB Hard drives for each bay. At this time I am grabbing for straws and maybe someone has any info on this problem.
I purchased 4 x 1TB Seagate Barracuda hard drives ( Model: ST31000340AS / Firmware: SD15 ), did a regular format after I purchased them ( GUID Partition Table, Journaled HFS+ File System). I am using 2 of them internally (they get quite hot and i didn't want to put all 4 of them in there) and two of them externally (backup purposes). The other two internal bays are covered by 2x 500GB Barracuda drives.
I put all four 1 TB hard drived through a 1 week stress test to make sure I am not dealing with bad apples. So far this practice served me well.
Now 2 weeks later one completely crashed (internal boot drive). It sounded to spin up alright but was not accessible at all. I went to BestBuy and GeekSquad said this drive is crashed and I returned it.
Since I had a backup I didn't worry too much. I put the back up hard drive in as the new boot drive (since it was a SuperDuper duplicat) it worked like a charm. Now the second hard drive starts temporarily freezing the system for 2-4 minutes and seems to get stuck showing the great colored ball of doom. After the freeze it continues to operate normal again and I am able to continue my work.
I ran the Disk Utility and I got the following message:
INVALID KEY LENGTH
VOLUME CHECK FAILED.
ERROR: FILESYSTEM VERIFY OR REPAIR FAILED.
It just seems weird, I never had problems with hard drives and now I get these problems with 3-4 week old hard drives.
I was in a chat with seagate support. First question to trouble shoot: Do you have access to a PC. My answer was no since Microsoft Vista I donated all of them to the Salvation Army. He asked if I formatted the hard drives low level and MBR with HFS+. I said since I do not have access to PC nor do I plan on using my hard drives for PC I formatted it regular with GUID and HFS+. I asked if there is any history of these drives that would help explain my experience. I was hoping for a recall or something of that sort or something that a firmware upgrade would remedy.
I guess my question is, is the first generation Mac Pro, even though it seems to format and run them fine, not able to handle 1TB hard drives on a daily basis. Or am I dealing with hard drive problems? The Seagate guy didn't seem to be of any help.
Any help is appreciated or even pointers that would help me in finding the problem.
Cheers,
PixelGrinch

Excellent questions, I too am looking at SSD.
Some things I know about SSD:
1. Intel recently released new firmware for their SSD drives to improve long term performance including Trim/Garbage collection.
2. SSD drives can be setup as SLC or MLC - SLC is faster read 2X, write 4X over MLC, however SLC is smaller capacity. SLC also has a longer life span.
3. Intel plans to have an 320GB X25-M (MLC) and a 128GB X25-E (SLC) out soon.
OSX does not fully support Trim and I'm not aware of any 3rd party software for OSX that helps in the garbage collection area. Diskeeper 2010 for Windows 7 provides full support for all variants of SSD, but nothing on the Mac side.
I'm probably going to wait for 2010 to see what comes out, SSD appears to be good news, but it still also seems to have issues. Given the cost of these drivers and the frequent firmware updates, a wait and see is my choice.
I've thought about going with a SAS RAID controller and 15K RAID drivers, but the cost/performance ratio comes out about the same and the 15K drives are noisey and power hungry but they're a "known" entity.

Problems with Upper Case Letters on Keyboard

Suddenly my keyboard will not print a capital i. in fact, if i use the caps key, it won't even put the letter i in either upper or lower case. When i put the caps lock on, can get a capitol 'I', but once the cap lock is off it is back to the lower case i again.
is there anything i can do to correct this, without taking my computer keyboard in for service? i broke my neck about 3 weeks ago and i am house bound for the next 5 weeks.
Sheila K.

Hey Sam,
im having the very same problem even though iv only had my ibook g4 for just under 5 months. i believe that puts me still under the 1 year warrenty for the computer itself. will they still replace the keyboard if this is the case. if they decide not to do so. i was wondering if anyone here new the part number for the keyboard that is easly installed on the g4 ibooks. if anyone here knows anything on the matter please feel free to email me on this.
as most people can see, i also have a power mac g5 desktop, otherwise called a cheese grader. if you know what i mean. theres very little i dont like apples computers. thats probally why everything in my house is mac related. having 3 ipods, 1 g4 ibook, a power mac g5, isight cam, and lots more. the point here is in the event people are trying to decide what kind of coomputer there wanting to buy. several things need to be considered before you should go out and buy one. obviously price has alot to do with your choice, but in that decision you must also consider whether or not the computer has teachnical type issues. is the company well known for having lots of problems. will you be able to get the technical support you need in the event there is some major problem with the computer that you may be inquiring on. having the apple care protection plan on all of apple's top computers is the single one thing that people dont think about when buying a new brand name computer. i cant tell people enough that buying this apple care plan is vital to the survival of you and your new computer. an extra $200-$400 is well worth the expense down the line.

I find this,
Before restoring:
Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes. [How? I am not past selecting a network.]
Back up your device. [Do not know how, again, I am not past selecting a network.]
Transfer and sync content to your computer. [Hooked up the USB cable and nothing happens.]
Restoring your iOS device
Connect your device to your computer. [Hooked up the USB cable and nothing happens.]
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices. Select the Summary tab, and click the Restore button. [iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices, is it in Control Panel. I looked in Device Manager and so only drivers etc.
