New features added, old features removed

I've seen many users who has asked why the new firmware removed some good features and so on... So I have this thread, and hope that answer you all.
the phone ROM is basically fix, say 128MB ROM and the available ROM for user is 44MB (say in the spec or manufacturer's spec) which means 84MB is used for the ROM.
So if a new feature is added then they have to remove or shrink something to maintain that 44MB available for users as the spec.
Also bugs and problem fix could cause the increment of ROM... unless it's extra install file or patches (which also takes up some space either in ROM or memory card)
Cheers

Who's in Charge? What needed fixing and/or new feature added?

Having been a software development engineer and manager for over 20 years and a Mac Evangelist since 1984, I have been very disturbed by the GUI changes that Apple has made to the OS X over the past 5 years.
There appears to have been an invasion of Microsoft SW programmers into the Mac OS X systems SW department.
Any change to an established GUI should be a very critical concern of any Software Manager and only done to fix a major error or to add new features, which should not impact GUIs for current features.
The most costly investment a user makes in any software is in the user training to become productive in its use. This is where the GUI makes or breaks the user experience and his decision to continue its use or toss it and replace it with another app with a more familiar and user friendly GUI.
When Apple makes changes to the GUI with no apparent benefit except that some rogue programmers decided they didn't like the old way and wanted to "make it their own", it costs the user community literally hundreds of thousands of hours in lost time adjusting the the new GUI without any added benefit and it creates frustration and disappointment with the app. It also creates a sense of betrayal and fear that other unneeded changes to the GUI will follow with more lost time.
There should be a strictly controlled change control process when any contemplated GUI change is being considered. A change request must be created and thoroughly reviewed especially with the impact on users being the foremost consideration. When new features are added, the GUI should be consistent with the current feature GUI as much as possible. Obviously, when a released feature's GUI proves to be cumbersome and unproductive, it should be revised. But revised only to minimum extent required. When a new GUI for current features can be justified based on consistency, improved productively and/or accuracy, then an option should be provided to current users to revert to the old GUI if they choose to for at least 1 or 2 releases/updates.
GUI changes should be beta tested by a broad base of REAL users before being released. REAL users should be heavily weighted to LONG time users and not just based on younger, inexperienced users with very little investment in time relative to the current GUI.
In GUI software, change for change's sake should be quickly stopped and denied approval for implementation. Yosemite is a classic example of how not to upgrade software. It obviously was not very well tested before release. The SW QA dept should be replaced. The SW Engineering Manager should be fired for approving a Software Specification and GUI Specification that was Yosemite. Did anyone on the SW Engineering Development team have ANY experience using Mac OS X? Mavericks was a significant change from Mountain Lion but it was still recognizable as a Mac OS. Yosemite looks like a rejected Windoze OS release.
Being an Apple shareholder and a Mac Evangelist since 1984 (even had a Lisa in 1982!) I am deeply concerned that Apple is loosing it's way.
A user friendly, well tested GUI used to be Apple's strong point and is what created a loyal user base. Let's hope Apple does not lose sight of their best product discriminator.

Will LR get the new brush feature added to the graduated filter and radial filter like the latest version of Camera raw?

OK, at least I can look forward to it and use Photoshop & CR instead of LR for these filters until then.

Made a new iTunes address, and added new payment details, old apps won't update because my old signin pops up! Even tho in settings on on first page it's my new name? How can I remove the old signin name even if it takes all apps paid and free with it!!

You can't all apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase/download it.

Visual Studio keeps adding SharePoint features when opening a solution

Hello everybody.
I'm facing a rather naughty problem. In a Windows 2012 environment (hosted inside an Azure virtual machine), with SharePoint installed, I created a VS SharePoint on-premise solution. I added a feature, and started adding lists, libraries, site columns, layout
pages and such. At one point, every time I added a new list definition, the VS would create me a new feature. Which is not what I wanted, so I manually deleted the new feature and added the list to the first feature. No matter how much I try, VS keeps adding
features instead of using the one I already got.
But that's a minor problem. After a while of adding lists, I did a check in to my TFS and closed the VS. After a couple of days, I open the VS again, and without a warning VS checked out the solution, checked out my only feature, removed the lists from it
and created one feature for each library. I ended up with feature2.feature, feature3.feature, ..., feature50.feature files!!! Insane!!! I had to manually delete them and re-add them to my first feature.
Now I can't turn VS off without having this mess all over again. Why on Earth would somebody program VS to do this? Is there any way to turn this behaviour off?
Thanks in advance!
[Edit] Forgot to mention that I'm working with Visual Studio 2013.

Hi Fernando,
Thank you for posting in MSND forum.
Based on your issue, could you please tell me what template sharepoint project you create in VS2013?
In addition, I find a similar thread about your issue, please refer the Xiaoying’s reply to check this issue.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25857722/visual-studio-unexpectedly-adding-feature-on-load
Or you could try to download a new sharepoint template in this VS2013 and then create it check if you still get the issue.
I suggest you could try to create a same sharepoint project template from VS2013 on another machine and then check this issue again.
If you have any update message, please feel free to let me know.
Best Regards,

Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

The new track and mask features are not showing on my version of premiere cc. It says it's uptodate.

The new track and mask features are not showing on my version of premiere cc. It says it's uptodate.

Please double-check the exact version as displayed in the About box. The new release is an entirely separate version referred to CC 2014.0; it is not merely an update to CC7. That means that if you launch CC7.2.2 and go Help>Updates, it will report that the program is up to date.
If you're on CC7.2.2, then the easiest way to install CC2014.0 is to launch the Creative Cloud app and scroll down the Apps tab looking for "Premiere Pro CC (2014)."
Note that once CC2014 is installed, you will need to use a new app icon to launch it; the old icon will continue to launch CC7.

Does not let me add text to my verizon website. This adding text feature works well on internet explorer. I can click on add text, the box opens up but I can not type in the box for some unknown reason. What can be done to correct this problem ...

I didn't search before, but "you are not alone" (the thread [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/747424 In Verizon's Sitebuilder for webpages, I can not edit text boxes when using Firefox. I do not have this problem if I use Internet Explorer. Is there a setting I can change in Firefox to correct this problem?] has 18 votes for "I have this problem, too).
I can only guess about the reason... Firefox works with many websites' "rich text" editors, but ones that haven't been updated for five years may assume that Firefox is the old Netscape browser and use scripting techniques that don't work in Firefox.
If Verizon has a different "basic" or HTML editor that you can tolerate using, you could try that. It might not be subject to the same incompatibilities.
If I someday get a Verizon account, I will surely be looking into this further, but for now, it's hard to suggest anything else.

Scripting New "Rasterize Layer Style" feature of Photoshop CS6

I want to script new feature added to Photoshop CS6 "Rasterize Layer Style". I tried Layer.RasterizeLayerStyle() but this function doesn't exist.
I know that I still can add an empty layer below the layer and merge them together, but it would be much easier and the code would be more readable if I can use "Rasterize Layer Style" command in my script.

Did you try installing the optional Scriptlisener Plug-in to see if it recorded anything. Though Layer>Rastersize>Layer Style is new you could always accomplish what it does other ways. Like merging visible layers where one layer is empty. It just rasterize the layer along with its layer style. In fact if the layer in question was a smart object layer after the "Rasterize Layer Style" operation that is exactly whet you will have a raster layer no longer will it be a smart object layer.
Adobe shortchange scripting in CS6 for example you can not read the usere interpolation Photoshop preference if its set to the new default setting Bicubic Automatic and you can not set it to Bicubic Automatic if you read that it is not set to Bicubic Automatic. Adobe simply dropped the ball and did not add the nessary update to support CS6 new features to scripting and installing the sicptlistner will turn off a new feature like allowing tool recording. CS6 is by far the buggest release of Photoshop I ever installed. The list of the Photoshop versions I have installed is
PS3
PS5
PS5.5
PS7
CS
CS2
CS3
CS5
CS6
I use CS3. The money I sent upgrading to CS5 and CS6 so far has been a wast of money... Phehaps Adobe will fix the bugs and not deferr them to some future release like they historically do.

I purchased an album and didn't receive all of the cuts. I have Itunes 9.2.1 so I can't use the new "download past purchases" feature. How do I get the rest of the songs?

Look under the Store menu in iTunes on your computer for the "Check for available downloads" command and run that. You may find the tracks there to be downloaded.
If not, contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department from their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form, or an "Email Us" button) and explain the problem to them.

My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes. I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need. It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

"I would love to have iTunes and my iPod sync the songs that the iPod played since its last updating into the song count in iTunes"
It does already do this... unless you use manual updating. Under auto updating, tracks played on your iPod should up the count in iTunes on your next sync.

The new 'improved text selection feature' is too sensitive.

The new 'improved text selection feature' is too sensitive. It tends to highlight a whole page whenever i try to highlight just a single line. And then it keeps on crashing!
Please fix!

Could you please share your pdf file with us at [email protected] so that we can investigate this issue?

I suppose that is nice.
It would be even nicer if the drivers actually conformed to JDBC so that one could for example reliably use blobs in a J2EE server with CMP.
