N8 - Headphones (awful design)

I am delighted with my N8.
However, I think the headphone design is awful. I cannot imagine why on earth the designer has decided to have the lead from the controller to one earpiece shorter than the other. All that happens is that you finish up with a loop of wire sticking out at the longest side. Nokia to my knowledge have not done this before, so why start now? I prefer the fact that the earpieces actually fit into the ear, rather than the type that just rest on the earlobe but apart from that, I think that the N82 design of my previous phone was far better. It even allowed a different set of earpieces to be plugged into the controller but even this is not possible with the N8 design because it is all one piece.
Does anyone know of an alternative headphone that can be used with the N8. (The N82 one does not appear to be compatible because it produces a lot of background noise.)
History: Always Nokia since 1994 including Nokia 2140, 7110e, 6150, 6210, 6310i, 6230i, N82
Current: Nokia N8 (Anna - I have no intention of going to Belle) - and delighted with it!

Many headset makers do this, not just nokia so you can't really blame the nokia designers for that one! Nokia has used this type with other past models.
It's so that the wire goes behind your neck and that you can take them out of your ears and leave them around your neck without them falling to the floor. If worn correctly they look perfectly normal.
Like most manufacturers they never give the best ones away for free with the phone.
I use a standard set of sony earbud style headphones with mine as I don't like the extra weight the controls give.

Playtronics Backbeat 903 Headphones Did Control Iphone 3GS, But Quit. Why?

I bought a pair of Playtronics Backbeat 903 Bluetooth headphones that support the A2DP and AVRCP profiles. that the Iphone 3gS that I own are also suppose to support and I believe they do. Now just recently the phone will not allow the headphones to control it (pause, skip to next song, etc). I have reset the headphones, I have unpaired and re-paired the headphones with the phone, I have removed any other bluetooth pairing profiles from the phone, still no luck. Anyone have any idea how I get the phone or headphones to recognize the AVRCP profile so I can use the headphones as designed.
As I said, when I first got the headphones all of these controls worked, now they do not. Thanks in advance.

Yes, your iPhone has the classic signs of early onset Alzheimer's...
Assuming that nothing is pressing on the Home button when this occurs, try the basic steps as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
2. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
3. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup.
If #3 doesn't help, there is a hardware problem such as a defective home button, and you should make an appt. with an Apple Store Genius bar.

Beats By Dre

Anyone that spends a decent amount of time listening to music through headphones knows what a wide range of sound quality and comfort you can get from different models of headphones. I spend a good portion of my days with my headphones on to help block out the noise around me and to listen to my favorite bands to help me focus and concentrate. I’ve gone through many different models over the years in search of the most comfortable options with the best sound, and I know that what many people recommend and are looking for are Beats By Dre headphones. There are a few variations among the different models of Beats By Dre, so I wanted to take some time to highlight some of the features and differences you’ll find.
Beats By Dre can be separated into two general categories; over-the-ear/on-ear headphones and earphones. We’ll take a look at both, and start with the models of headphones.
Beats By Dre Headphones
Solo HD
The Beats By Dre Solo HD headphones are a great place to start when considering Beats By Dre headphones with their lighter, more compact design. Of course, these design features don’t compromise sound quality, and you’ll still get the clear highs and the deep bass that Beats By Dre headphones are known for. They come in a variety of colors including black, red, green, blue, and more. They also have a folding design to make them easier to carry with you.
Includes:
Beats By Dre Solo HD headphones
3.5mm audio cable with in-line audio controls and microphone
Carrying case
Cleaning cloth
Mixr
Taking the step to the Beats By Dre Mixr headphones, you’ll discover an incredibly durable set of headphones that are built to cater to the needs of DJs. They’re made with a more flexible headband and also feature rotating earcups that allow for single-ear monitoring, perfect for DJs. These headphones are also unique in that they have an audio cable port on each earcup which allows you to daisy-chain your audio and share it. Basically, you can be plugged in to your audio source with one input, and someone else can plug into the other audio port to hear what you’re hearing. With DJs in mind, this model was also built to continue to deliver quality, deep bass even as you turn up the volume. They come in a variety of colors including black, white, blue, green, yellow, and more. They also have a folding design to make it easier to take them with you wherever you go.
Includes:
Beats By Dre Mixr headphones
3.5 mm audio cable with in-line audio controls and microphone
1/4" audio adapter
Carrying case
Cleaning cloth
Studio
The Beats By Dre Studio headphones are the original model of Beats, and feature active noise cancellation. Powered by 2 AAA batteries, the noise cancellation feature on these headphones helps to block out external noise so that you can listen to the amazing sound quality that they produce with fewer distractions. Also, you’ll find that the Beats logo on the side of these headphones isn’t just for looks, it also acts as a mute button when pressed. They come in a variety of colors including black, white, red, and blue, and feature a folding design to make it easier to carry them with you.
Includes:
Beats By Dre Studio headphones
3.5mm audio cable with in-line audio controls and microphone
1/4" audio adapter
2 "AAA" batteries
Hard-shell carrying case
Cleaning cloth
Wireless
The Beats By Dre Wireless headphones allow you to enjoy the sound quality that Beats are known for without a cord getting in the way. These headphones can connect to Bluetooth-enabled devices from up to 30’ away, and even have audio controls on the earcups so you don’t even have to pull out your MP3 player or walk back to your audio source to change songs or adjust the volume. They feature a rechargeable battery that can provide up to 10 hours of playback and are easily rechargeable with the provided USB charging cable. They feature a folding design that makes it easier to carry them with you.
Includes:
Beats By Dre Wireless headphones
USB charging cable
3.5mm audio cable with in-line audio controls and microphone

Executive
The Beats By Dre Executive headphones are designed to provide you with incredible sound quality wherever you travel. They feature a fold-flat design that makes it easier to pack them for travel, and also have active noise cancellation powered by 2 AAA batteries to filter out the external noise that goes along with traveling, whether it’s on a plane, train, or in a car. They’re lightweight and have pivoting earcups so you can comfortably wear them for extended periods of time.
Includes:
Beats By Dre Executive headphones
3.5mm audio cable with in-line audio controls and microphone
1/4" audio adapter
Airline adapter
2 "AAA" batteries
Hard-shell carrying case
Cleaning cloth
Pro
The Beats By Dre Pro headphones are designed so you can experience music the way it was meant to be heard. They feature a sound-isolating design that helps to reduce external sounds to improve the clarity of the audio coming through the headphones. This is different than active noise cancellation because it doesn’t require a powered device or batteries to filter the noise. They also feature dual audio ports like the Mixr headphones so you can share what you’re listening to. They feature a folding design that makes it easier to carry them with you.

Hello Ajjimenez
If I'm not mistaken, what we have listed online is the selection we have available. I do not believe you would have the option of special ordering a pair in Red.

How do I make the Applications preference tab be useful again?

Once upon a time, there was a simple list of MIME types and options of how to handle each. Sometime ago, that morphed into an example of terrible UI design and functionality is critically compromised.
For an example, see http://i.imgur.com/EViHJ.png
Here are the problems:
1) The columns can't be resized, thus it is impossible to see the actual MIME types on the left side, which is kinda important as that's what I'm mapping to apps/actions through these settings.
2) There's a horizontal scrollbar with a couple pixels of movement. That's just plain sloppy. Both the window size and the column sizes are fixed, so its impossible to resize anything. When all elements are fixed size, there should not be a scrollbar horizontally, especially not one that barely moves anything. Its amateur night on the UI team.
3) MIME types aren't even shown in some cases. The 'friendly' names are listed first, knowing the MIME types almost completely out of view. That's bad enough. Worse, some don't show the type at all! Its sorta important to see that to know just what the hell I'm setting here.
4) Plugins/apps that don't directly list the MIME type are not selectable from the dropdown. Sometimes the best thing for handling a format doesn't officially claim to do so, but I should still be able to select it. Unfortunately, I can't.
Use case where this brokenness causes a bad problem:
I want to be able to view PDf files with a plugin, not download them. Firefix 4 broke the Quartz PDF plugin that was small and efficient. At least Schubert's fat plugin got updated in response so it sorta works. Those "Preview Documents" are actually PDF and PosctScript files (funny, I never knew those formats to be Preview documents, especially since Preview.app has no native file type and makes no documents). I know the first two must be application/pdf and application/ps, but waht is the third? I thought it would be application/x-pdf, but patching the plist for the plugin to add that doesn't help. What MIME type is that really that's listed there? No way to find out, so I can't fix this problem.
In summary, terrible UI design leads to unrepairable brokenness of the configuration, which only needs to be fiddle with because Firefox broke other stuff.
Please, quit trying to make ***** ripoffs of Chrome anti-features and put some damn effort into making Firefox suck less. If we wanted Chrome, we'd use it. Stop following the idiots at Google! Tabs on top, no status bar, fast version bumps, attempts to make part's of the URL non-visible, etc are all BAD IDEAS.
P.S. The submit a question process takes a half dozen screens of clicking through crap before I can type. The questions are dumb, the suggested 'existing answers' are even dumber.
P.P.S. Your forums ***** suck. Half the line returns I used are gone when I submit. When I edit, everything displays just as i entered it. Go back to viewing it and again some line breaks are missing while others are there as typed. How the hell do you break something so simple?
''Edited by a moderator due to language. See the [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Forum+and+chat+rules+and+guidelines Rules & Guidelines] .''

I don't seem to get any tooltips. Even if those worked, it doesn't excuse the overall awful design of the UI here.
The plugin for PDF (and postscript) lists two MIME types in its plist. I tried adding what I think the third should be and restarted Firefox, but it still doesn't list that plugin as an option. There's really no excuse for not letting me choose the plugin if I know it'll work. What's the point of the interface if not to let me do just that?

Creative Zen Touch Vs. Mi

I am looking for a new mp3 player to buy, and would like to get a creative one but I am having a few problems, hoping some of you could help me.
On the tocuh version (20gig) is there ANY way that you could make it so you can use it as an external dri've (so you don't have to install the software)? Then, once the battery dies (not discharges but I mean dies) what do you do? On the Ipod you could hack it and put another one in for a much cheaper price than apple offers, but what do you do with the zen touch?
And for the Zen Micro is there a way where you can use it with plain windows explorer (drag and drop).
For someone that has tried both, which would you recommend?
Thank you all for your comments.

Note the headphone jack fiasco has not been confirmed (read below). There is only speculation and hope that someone at Creative has worked out how to turn on the soldering iron.
As for the battery fiasco, Creative have 'officially' said that they intend to release updated firmware this month that should reduce 'sleep/standby mode' from 24 hours to 4. Fingers crossed!

how do u tell if u have the fixed batch of zen micros?
[b]Based on information within this forum, the last known hardware revisions has been November 2004. And this revisions was not to the headphone jack, but to the faceplate.</B>
To date, no one can officially confirm if the headphone jack on newer players has been revised. There have been Creative (Phone) Technical Support implying changes have been made to the jack, however this has been verified by a forum moderator to be false. There are however, "ongoing hardware revisions" which you can interpret how you like, but don't appear to impact the headphone jack design/manufacture.
Right now, if you believe the estimated numbers, only a minority of owners are affected. Alternati'vely, those who have opened the Zen Micro will concur the headphone jack is extremely vulnerable due to it's weak connection to the circuit board (which consist of 3 "glued" points). It is only time before this is a growing problem due to the poor design described.
Do you buy a Zen Micro and take the risk or wait until the issue is resolved? The answer really depends on how good you are with a solder gun...

How to install iTunes 11.4 back?

A few days ago I made the foolish mistake of "upgrading" (if you can say that) to iTunes 12 on my MacBook Pro (with OS X 10.8.5) and now I am in the biggest remorse... iTunes 12 is horrible, lacks of sidebar and make sync with iPhone / iPad a real nightmare. I tried to go back using my Time Machine backup but Apple has guarded their backs protecting the app from being replaces... so I tried another way: first I deleted that c.rap with AppZapper and then I reinstalled a fresh copy of iTunes 11.4 from a dmg installer (unfortunately all iTunes 11 installers were removed from the website) but I cannot get it working When I open iTunes an error message pops up warning that a system file is missing and iTunes should be reinstaled. I suspect that the "upgrading" has changed some system files besides the app itself and I am unable to go back... any help would be appreciated.
As all Apple updates since iOS 7, iTunes 12 is a mess. First iOS 7 and now iOS 8 screwed up all iDevices (short battery life, slow performance, and of course a childish awful design that hurt my eyes), then Mavericks (that turned my 16-Gb 512-SSD Core i7 Macbook pro into something similar to a cheap PC with Windows Vista!), and for the comments I've read on some forums OS X Yosemite is a handfull of trouble too. Fool of me installing iTunes 12... hope resolving how to roll back to iTunes 11.4

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
Start up in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Restart as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
If you still have problems, then from the Font Book menu bar, select
File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

I want to isolate rows which appear in the table and do a update using below query ( This query is already in a procedure, so I just looking for a suitable way to modify it to support my task )
In the above e.g. ONLY row containing claim_id = 120301 needs to update (amount as updated_amount)
I use following query, but it update other rows as well, I want a suitable query only to capture rows of nature claim_id = 120301 and do this update? Is there any functions that I could use to facilitate my task??
select
     a.claim_id
   , a.Created_MonthKey
   , a.Change_MonthKey
   , a.amount - ISNULL(b.amount,0.00) as amount_movement
   ,a.amount as updated_amount   --- >> I need help here??
   FROM claim_data a
LEFT JOIN claim_data b
   ON a.claim_id = b.claim_id
   AND b.Ord = a.Ord - 1
Thanks
Mira

Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI/ISO standards in your datC1. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You do not know this IT standard.
You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal datC1. We need to know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI/ISO Standard SQL.
And you need to read and download the PDF for:
https://www.simple-talk.com/books/sql-books/119-sql-code-smells/
>> I have a table AS claim_data AS below. <<
Thanks to your lack of netiquette, we have no name, no DDL, no keys and have to re-type the raw data into SQL, guess at everything! Does your boss treat you with the same contempt?
Think about how silly “_data” is AS an attribute property! What tables do you have without an data in them? You had to give this meta-data in 1970's operating systems, FORTRAN compilers, etc. but we do not do this today. I see you use “A”, “B”, etc for table
aliases This is the name of the disk or tape drive in a 1970 computer! In SQL we use helpful, meaningful table aliases so code is easier to maintain. I see you also use the old punch card trick of putting a comma at the front of each line of code.
The column named “ord” is a mathematical fiction for ordinal sets. I think you meant to use it as a non-relational sequential number to let you keep writing 1970's COBOL is T-SQL. We have not used the old Sybase ISNULL() since we got COALESCE() in SQL-92. They
are actually different.
First, let's post what you should have posted if you followed forum rules:
CREATE TABLE Claims
(claim_id CHAR(5) NOT NULL,
claim_amount DECIMAL (8,2) NOT NULL
CHECK (claim_amount >= 0.00),
change_month_name CHAR(10) NOT NULL
REFERENCES Month_Period(month_name),
creation_month_name CHAR(10) NOT NULL
REFERENCES Month_Period(month_name),
ord INTEGER NOT NULL, -- NO!! Awful design!
PRIMARY KEY (claim_id, ord)); --required by definition
Since SQL is a database language, we prefer to do look ups and not calculations. They can be optimized while temporal math messes up optimization. A useful idiom is a report period calendar that everyone uses so there is no way to get disagreements in the DML.
The report period table gives a name to a range of dates that is common to the entire enterprise.
CREATE TABLE Month_Periods
(month_name CHAR(10) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
CHECK (month_name LIKE '[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[01][0-9]-00'),
month_start_date DATE NOT NULL,
month_end_date DATE NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT date_ordering
CHECK (month_start_date <= month_end_date),
etc);
These report periods can overlap or have gaps. I like the MySQL convention of using double zeroes for months and years, That is 'yyyy-mm-00' for a month within a year and 'yyyy-00-00' for the whole year. The advantages are that it will sort with the ISO-8601
data format required by Standard SQL and it is language independent. It has been proposed for the Standard, but is not yet part of it. The regular expression pattern for validation is simple.
INSERT INTO Claims -- a mess!
VALUES
('054511', 300.00, '2013-04-00', '2013-04-00', 1)
('054511', 0.00, '2013-05-00', '2013-04-00', 2),
('120301', 250.00, '2015-02-00', '2015-02-00', 1),
('120624', 150.00, '2015-02-00', '2015-02-00', 1),
('120624', 0.00, '2015-03-00', '2015-02-00', 2);
Now, throw this mess out. It looks like your repeat the claim creation date over and over and over. It looks like you crammed a claim creation and a claim history together in one table.
>> I want to isolate rows which appear in the table and do a update using below query (This query is already in a procedure, so I just looking for a suitable way to modify it to support my task).
In the above e.g. ONLY row containing claim_id = '120301' needs to update (amount AS updated_amount)
>> I use following query, but it update other rows as well, I want a suitable query only to capture rows of nature claim_id = '120301' and do this update? <<
No. SQL is set oriented so an update applies to the whole table. You can filter out rows in a WHERE clause.
CREATE TABLE Claims
(claim_id CHAR(5) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
claim_amount DECIMAL (8,2) NOT NULL
CHECK (claim_amount >= 0.00),
claim_creation_month_name CHAR(10) NOT NULL
REFERENCES Month_Period(month_name));
See how this works?
INSERT INTO Claims -- a mess!
VALUES
('054511', 300.00, '2013-04-00'),
('120301', 250.00, '2015-02-00'),
('120624', 150.00, '2015-02-00');
Normalize the table:
CREATE TABLE Claim_Changes
(claim_id CHAR(5) NOT NULL
REFERENCES Claims(claim_id)
ON DELETE CASCADE,
change_month_name CHAR(10) NOT NULL
REFERENCES Month_Period(month_name),
PRIMARY KEY (claim_id, change_month_name),
change_amount DECIMAL (8,2) NOT NULL
CHECK (change_amount >= 0.00)
INSERT INTO Claims_Changes
VALUES
('054511', 0.00, '2013-05-00'),
('120624', 0.00, '2015-03-00');
Now you just add another change row to the history. There is no update. If you want to the delta and so forth, use LAG() and other window functions.

Apple Mail 7.3 - Always re-synchronizes all IMAP folders

I've been going back and forth with Apple Mail, changing clients every so often (Postbox, AirMail, whichever) when I get frustrated with Apple Mail (post-Mavericks update).
Anyways, with the Version 7.3 (1878.2) build, I figured I would give it another try to see if they've finally squashed enough bugs to make it useable.
Why (why why why why) is the software consistently trying to synchronize every single IMAP folder I have in my gmail account? Every time I open Mail and then check out the activity window, you see it consistently entereing and exiting IDLE states, trying to synchronize my many folders (I like to store and keep many parent/child folders).
Because it is consistently doing this over and over, when I go to file a message and it dissapears from my inbox, I can click away from the inbox and click right back to it, and my message comes right back (because it hasn't been processed yet due to the other activities going on with sync'ing).
I consider myself fairly proficient with self-servicing my mac woes, but this one has me stumped. Is Mail being extremely inefficient, or is this user-er
TIA
Mark

Apple Mail has always done this for IMAP accounts and not just for GMail either. I have one particular user - the boss (of course), who has a huge email account with many folders on the server, this user (of course) is also prone to clicking on many messages and folders and doing in rapid succession many moves, deletes and replies, this along with the massive resyncing of folders brings Mail to its knees. The boss will then unfairly blame the server, the Internet connection, the computer, etc. when it is the awful design of Mail at fault.

Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys, constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in your schema are. Learn how to follow ISO-11179 data element naming conventions and formatting rules (you have no idea).
Temporal data should use ISO-8601 formats. Code should be in Standard SQL as much as possible and not local dialect.
This is minimal polite behavior on SQL forums.
This is not a correct schema design; can you fix this mess?
A procedure is named <verb>_<object>.
There is no such thing as a “category_id” in RDBMS! A column is “<attribute>_<attribute property>” but this is two <attribute property>'s without an <attribute>. This is like adjectives without a noun!
Using integers to encode the homepage categories is an awful design. Have you been to a library? Look at the Dewey Decimal Classification system. Noobs never bother to properly design encoding schemes; really hopeless noobs use IDENTITY!
Aren't websites named and not numbered? What integer did you use to get to this website? See the point?
There is no such thing as a generic “id” or “name” or "category" in RDBMS. Table names are collective or plural nouns to show us that they are sets.
We do not use flags in RDBMS, so your “publication_flag” and “deletion_flag” are both verbs (attributes are noun!) and a huge design flaw.
Finally, you have made one of the classic Noob errors that most people un-learn in 3rd or 4th week of SQL. You cannot past a string to IN() and expect that string to be parsed for you! Think about how silly that is and get a laugh at yourself. SQL is compiled,
not interpreted like 1960's BASIC!
Google my articles on the long parameter list for the procedure. But your real problem is an awful schema, improperly designed in both the DDL and data architecture.
Post the DDL and maybe we can fix it. But you need to get a book on basic data modeling as well as one on SQL.

DMA RT to FPGA guaranteed order?

I have a question regarding the sending of data via FIFO to an FPGA card via DMA. I would assume that if I have several locations in my RT code sending data via DMA FIFO that it is still guaranteed that any given DMA Transfer (let's say 12 data values) are delivered atomically. That is to say that each DMA node data is sent as a contiguous block.
Take the following example. I have two DMA FIFO nodes in parallel. I don't know which is going to be executed first, and they will most of the time be vying for bandwidth. Both nodes send over the SAME DMA FIFO. Does the data arrive interleaved, or is each sent block guaranteed to be contiguous ont he receiving end. Do I end up with
Data0 (Faster node)
Data1 (Faster node)
Data2 (Faster node)
Data3 (Faster node)
Data11 (Faster node)
Data0 (Slower node)
Data1 (Slower node)
Data11 (Slower node)
or do the individual items get interleaved.
I'm kind of assuming that they remain in a contiguous block which I'm also hoping for because I want to abuse the DMA FIFO as a built-in timing source for a specific functionality I require on my FPGA board. I can then use the RT-FPGA DMA Buffer to queue up my commands and still have them execute in perfect determinism (Until the end of the data in my single DMA transfer of course).

Say hello to my little friend.
RFC 2323 FHE-Compliant

Woah, new avatar. Confusing!
I am going to preface this by saying that I am making assumptions, and in no way is this a definitive answer. In general, I have always had to do FPGA to RT streaming through a FIFO and not the other way around.
When writing to the FPGA from the RT, does the FIFO.write method accept an array of data as the input? I'm assuming it does. If so, I'd then make the assumption that the node is blocking (like most everything else in LabVIEW). in which case the data would all be queued up contiguously. Interleaving would imply that two parallel writes would have to know about each other, and the program would wait for both writes to execute so that it could interleave the data. That doesn't seem possible (or if it was, this would be an awful design decision because what if one of the writes never executed).
Of course, this is all assuming that I am understanding what you are asking.
You're probably safe assuming the blocks are contigous. Can you test this by simulating the FPGA? If your'e really worried about interleaving, could you just wrap the FIFO.write method up in a subVI, that way you are 100% sure of the blocking?
Edit: Had a thought after I posted, how can you guarantee the order things are written to the FIFO? For example, what if the "slow" write actually executes first? Then your commands, while contiguous, will be "slower node" 1-12 then "faster node" 1-12. It seems to me you would have to serialize the two to ensure anything.
Sorry if I'm not fully understanding your question.

Export responses as csv crashes Acrobat

I'm testing a new form and when I try to export the response as a "CSV" file, Acrobat Pro crashes (9.5.2). Exporting as a "xml" file works fine. Thoughts? Is there a limit on the number of fields or problems with tables?

Well, this is a constant problem I see everywhere in Adobe UI design. Everything seems to be initially conceived for the lowest common denominator of use. There are only two reasons I can see for this - someone in charge thinks that it's cheaper and/or the designers don't actually use the software except in a cursory way. The first reason is just plain dumb because fixing the stuff afterward is far more expensive than doing it right the first time. I mean look at Premiere Pro. The awful design choices in 1.0 are still being fixed and will continue to be for the next two to three versions, if ever.
To be fair, no software is initially created 'perfect'. It's just that of all companies whose products I've used over the last 25 years, I think Adobe typically fairs the worst out the gate. They're trying to change that now, with user consultation much earlier in the design process but I still see that same old mind set at work.

Export Markers to CSV - limitations of Clip Notes

One of the problems with Clip Notes is that it only works well for first generation notes. Adding responses is an exercise in patience that is certainly beyond me. And that's the polite way of expressing it!
Until someone at Adobe revises the functionality in Acrobat to make responding less an exercise in window scrolling and more just about entering text in the fastest way possible and printing it out, it would be far easier if one could just respond on the timeline marker level and then export all notes to a tab delimited text file. There have been hints here about a plug in to do it but they've only been hints. Can anyone point me to the right person or place? Please?

12.0.1 Upgrade - Sidebar not apparent in order to use the "drag" from iTunes and "drop" to connected device

I found a workaround but I am opening a new discussion for my specific issue as noted in my subject. Search "iTunes 12 sidebar missing".
Per denali_uk on Oct 21, 2014 12:29 AM:
"Actually this feature is still available but it's not very obvious. If you grab a bunch of tunes from one of the Music lists and drag them to the left, a temporary sidebar appears with your attached devices and playlists. You can drag the songs into an existing playlist, or to an empty space where it will create a new one. The sidebar will then disappear, and you'll have to click on one of the Playlist tabs if you want to edit anything. Awful design".
I apologize to those readers who use this site "correctly" but I did not know how else to accomplish this.

Argh... Found that I cannot drag new playlists to the device icon that appears on the taskbar of itunes. If I display the playlists in itunes I can select 1 then scroll up to the my ipod where it appears further up the list and then drop the item into the ipod. This appears to be a great step forward for Itunes but you must drag and scroll the list to find your device one at a time as selecting items with the shift or ctrl buttons pressed has no effect.
Itunes at version 12+ you would think it would be easier not harder to load content.

Using iPod with high frequencies

Hi there - I'm having treatment for tinnitus (high-pitched sound in the ear). There is a treatment where you listen to music interlaced with high frequency sounds which is supposed to stimulate the brain & the cilia inside the ear. They have CDs available but recommend not to use iPod. My question is, if you transferred the CDs using Apple Lossless would the high frequencies come through? Bear in mind some of these frequencies are up to around 14 KHz and there are all sorts of subtleties in the signal. One question is transferring it to the PC using Apple Lossless, the other question is playing it back on the 5G iPod. I'm also thinking of getting a Nano just for this - would it play it back OK? Thanks!
MacBook Pro 15", 60 GB 5G iPod Mac OS X (10.4.4)
14 iBook, 768 RAM, 60GB Mac OS X (10.4.4)

This is only my personal opinion, which can be wrong.
First, human can only listen to 20KHz most, thats why the CD's frequency response only cover in the range of 20-20KHz.
For iPod - the apple mentioned the following
iPod is designed to provide the best-quality sound. iPod has a powerful 60 mW amplifier so it can deliver audio as loud as you want. It also has a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, which means you can hear distortion-free music at the lowest or highest pitches. Even the iPod headphones are designed to give you the best-quality sound. The earbud-style headphones rely on Neodymium transducers, a rare earth magnet that significantly enhances frequency response and overall sound quality. Most other headphones use aluminum, cobalt, or ceramic drivers; at the same size, the Neodymium driver is five times as powerful. Because the strength of the driver increases the accuracy of the sound, the iPod headphones provide a high-energy listening experience while minimizing distortion.
To ensure CD-quality sound, be sure to use a compression setting of 160 kbit/s (the default setting in iTunes) or higher when you "rip" tracks from your CD into MP3 format, or 128 kbit/s in MP4 format (AAC).
Therefore, if you rip the music from a CD, it does not matter whether it is MP3, AAC or Apple Lossless, it will no reduce the frequency response, however, there is noticeable difference of sound quality from different format, of course with Apple Lossless format being the best, but much bigger size.

Can't PW protect email accounts? This thing is useless

What's to prevent everyone in my house from snooping my email accounts or vice versa? From what I can tell, looks like there's no way to password protect or require input of a pw to get access to an account. What a HUGE design flaw. maybe I'm missing something and some nice person will politely show me how it's done.

You are absolute right. It's an awful design flaw. It's OK that different users can't have their own protected accounts, but it's a bug that You can't protect Your own account.
Either You lock everything and type Your code for chats, a look in the news, the weather, your movie magazine, a short game during commercial spots ... or everybody can read Your mails. I think we should organize something against that very arrogant company.
A lot of people here are employers from Apple that are paid for bashing against critics or Applefanboys.
But I think if all unsatisfied iPad users are blogging against Apple. Writing to their politicians or try a class action lawsuit. We have a chance against Apple. I think You should write Your critique down everywhere, so that more and more people buy other devices and Apple looses a lot of money. Maybe they start thinking about their customers.
