New OS 7  is cheap looking and less user friendly now......

Apple shouldn't release an update without first warning us of the changes that will occure with that update.
Yes, they give a list of updates and make it all sound so exciting and wonderful, but without us having tried it first, there is no way to know if we're going to like it.
I'm no longer able to resize and adjust my photos to be used as wallpaper.  That's just wrong!
I don't want "work arounds", I want it to work flawlessly like it did just yesterday.
Additionally, I can't stand the brightness on my screen either, it hurts my eyes now.  
I didn't see any mention from Apple that if you have difficulty with bright lights you might want to avoid this update!!!
Now, it's almost a chore to use my iPhone and iPad.   That's not fair, and I'm stuck with it??
I truly believe there should be a way to revert back if you don't like the changes that are taking place.
Come on Apple, you have cheapend the looks of our once classy iPhones, plus we've lost features!

  • Why does Apple continue to make their OS less and less user-friendly?

    This might be dead horse I am beating, but I didn't feel like searching the forum to see if this has already been discussed ad naseum. I'm really starting to lose my patience with Apple and their insistence on removing useful features from their OS.  I've already lost track of all the things that they have un-engineered in recent updates.  One of the ones that I thoroughly disliked was the removal of cover flow from iTunes... of course that is a program and not the OS, but just one example.  Now I am realizing that the column view in Finder has been changed as well.  Used to be that you could change the width of the columns at will and now they seem to be fixed and immovable, which really p!sses me off.  I don't like Icon, List or Cover Flow view in Finder and use column view almost exclusively and was always changing the column width to suit my needs, i.e. when the file name was too long to read and i could simply change the width to read it all.  Now I can't do that and I am really getting sick and tired of things that are really useful that I use all the time being taken away and it's like Apple is taking steps backward.  Probably 10-15 years ago, that was the norm for something like this, immovable columns and people b!tching about not being able to change the width and then we get that ability and now it's taken away again!  Why are they constantly regressing?  How is that improving the UI of their OS?  I just don't understand it....
    Please free to chime in, correct me or whatever...

  • The 4-row Thai keyboard is so hard to type. 3-row keyboard is much better and more user-friendly. Is apple going to provide the old 3-row to download? Please....

    I & a lot of my Thai friends are having a problem with the 4-row Thai keyboard coming with ios6. It is very tough & hard to type. We have more than 90% of typo. Is apple providing rthe old 3-row Thai keyboard to download? Please.....it is much better and more user-friendly.
    Well, your reply is much appreciate.
    Thanks.

    Can't agree more. I have no idea why they changed it. The old three row one was innovative and far easier to use. The vowels were all kept in one bucket button so they were easier to find. Wished people made more of a fuss so that they would add the old keyboard back and allow people the option to choose between the two. I no longer type in Thai as it's seriously too much effort.
    Usability FAIL.

  • New to fios - HD soft looking and remote question

    Just got FIOS installed yesterday. I'm an IT Tech for a living so I've gone through a bunch of settings and options and not matter what the HD picture looks about 10% or more softer than the picture I had with Optimum. I have a 52" 1080 lcd. I've tried hdmi and composite, I've made sure the box is set to 1080i, I've raised the boxes sharpness setting to max, etc. Where should I go from here?
    Also, the remote... With both the FIOS one and my logitech harmony if I'm watching a channel and hit the UP arrow to see what's on the next channel it goes down and vice versa. Why do the arrow keys work opposite?? Never did this on optimum. In case I'm not clear enough... If I scroll down with the arrow keys it scrolls up in the channel list - 800, 801, 802, etc. If I scroll up with the up arrow it goes 800, 799, 798, etc.

    If you think you're viewing HD channels using a composite connection then you're seeing an SD version of that channel.  Composite is only SD.  The sharpness setting only applies to SD signals. Have you reset the settings on the TV itself?  They probably will need to be different from your old provider since the signals are not precisely the same.  Also, make sure your SD override is set to off.
    The guide scrolls as it is shown on the screen, which is a lower channel number above a higher channel number.  The "next" channel you expect to see may be higher in number but below the current item on the guide, and that's the way it scrolls -- down the guide, not up it.  Up shows a lower channel in the guide.

  • Just bought new replacement iphone from apple store and less than two hours later, the screen went blurry and I can barely see anything. Phone still functions fine though.

    Just bought a new replacement phone at the apple store and as soon as I got home, vertical lines came up through the screen and now it's extremely blurry. All the functions of the phone still work fine and I really can't see anything except a small part of the screen at the top. I called the apple store and he told me to put the phone in recovery mode on my computer and the restore and update it. I did this and I can tell the phone has restored yet it is still extremely blurry and I can't see anything to type it in. Is there anything I could do with this? The apple store is over an hour away and saving another trip down there would be great. Thanks

    Bad luck. Take ti back.

  • Have new iMac osx 2.5 intel and a few times now when in mail it starts to lag, rainbow spins and things go awry. Have to shut down and reboot to get it back to normal. Also a sender rang to say his email to me had been opened 140 times.....whats that???!!

    Have new imac 2.5 mid 2011 OS X and macmail has a few times started to lag.....slow to accept writing and the rainbow spins and seems to stop it. have to shut down to get it back to normal. Very frustrating when in the middle of a message. Any ideas whats wrong ....whats happening...how to fix...Also a sender rang me to see if I forwarded their email on, and said that particular email had been opened 140 times.......I did not send on....any ideas about that one also.
    Cheers Rhonda

    Rhonda you Force Quit and app by click the Apple symbol in the upper left and selecting Force Quit... and then select the app that isn't responding and Force Quit it.
    I'm not sure what is wrong with your Mail system but I'd recommend starting over with it. You can find out how in Mail Setup, Troubleshooting etc... If you still have trouble then contact AppleCare,  you have 90 days of free phone service with AppleCare......why not use it?

  • I just got my new iphone 4 in the mail and used my friends computer with itunes already on it to set it up since i dont own a computer. She owns an iphone already so her stuff was there already. i created an account and unlocked the phone but now it says

    it now says no service at the top. help/

    If the iPhone is locked to a telephone operator, your Sim Card has to be from that telephone operator.  Otherwise, the iPhone will not be able to read the Sim Card and obtain telephone service.

  • Why is iTunes so frustrating and un-user friendly?

    Hi all,
    I switched from an android phone and table to the iPad and iPhone about 6 months ago and cannot believe how much easier to use they are. I've not had one single issue with Apple's hardware and honestly don't think I could live without my iPad, it's my TV, my library, my stereo, my PC. I use it for absolutely everything.
    However, iTunes for Windows is one of the worst pieces of software I have ever used. I have a 2.6ghz laptop with 8gb of ram running Windows 7. iTunes is constantly hanging up my system, crashing to the desktop, taking hours to do a simple sync and tonight I have encountered an issue where iTunes is refusing to import the mp3s I have asked it to.
    I have booked a call for tomorrow morning regarding the latter issue, but I really just want to know why iTunes isn't as good as their hardware. It really ruins my user experience with my Apple products. How can they get their hardware so right and their software so wrong? The maddening thing is that unless I jailbreak my products I have absolutely no choice but to use iTunes to get content onto my devices.
    I've done a Google search on iTunes problems and there literally thousands and thousands of people who have been experiencing these issues year after year. Funnily enough it appears to be Windows users that suffer the most, iTunes seems to run as you would expect it to on Macs.
    I'm so frustrated that if my play around with my friends new Google Nexus tablet goes well at the weekend I may sell my iPad and iPhone and return to android, that is of course if the Nexus can do what my iPad can do, and do it well.
    Does anybody have any suggestions on how to make iTunes work better or have any insight into the reason why Apple does not seem to be listening to the thousands of people complaining about the iTunes software? Any input would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    A very frustrated and disappointed iPad lover!

    I totally agree. I have been an avid apple user, iPhones, iPad, iTouch, iMac and apple tv... until I get to try Samsung Note 4 and was surprised how easy to configure everything. Apple keeps on changing the set up for itunes in so many ways that busy people really don't have time to sit down and learn with it. My last iPad 4th Generation will be the last for this and will jump into Android. There are more problems that I don't have time to elaborate but if people will see the difference, they will surely give up Apple and jump into Android. The hardware quality of apple and the battery life has been noticeably diminishing. The issue on Audiobooks purchased has remained one of the problems for apple users. You can't just download the audiobooks you already purchased easily each time there is an update on the OS. I have done my research and I see a lot of people facing problems with this. If you want apple.. you should have the time to sit down and update always the software, learn the new things that keeps on changing for the better but most often conflicts with other applications that they need to ask you to download again the newest firmware and so on until you realize the gadget that is supposed to give you convenience and comfort is now taking so much of your time and will be part of your routine. On the other side, Android is not restricted... it is merely like an external gadget attached to your computer. And that makes a huge difference. I hope Apple will hear this and make iTunes not a requirement to transfer files from computer to your gadget. TIME is valuable to us as well, what is comfort and convenience if you spend most of your time attached to your gadget just because you need to keep up with it. A quarterly update or twice a year update with a specified date should be an answer to this... We should be in control of our gadgets and not be controlled by it. Apple is in control of the user... while Android users are not enslave with the gadget but controls on how we want to use them. Huge difference on that perspective.

  • Little things that can make DIAdem more and more user friendly

     
    Hello, 
    Here are the product suggestions I have for DIAdem, after going through the pain of creating a single report page:
    1. Option to set the background color of a header in a table (not the entire table)
    2. Option to prevent the column lines from going through the header section of the table
    3. Group objects together in Diadem, (like PowerPoint ?)
    4. Make DIAdem font size correspond to MS Office 's font size
    5. Option to make individual Column/Row lines bold and set background color for each individual column/row
    Thanks,
    Jay Gundavelli
    Honda R&D
     

    Hello Jay, I decided to mark your multiple suggestion as complete, because hopefully the important ones are solved with DIAdem 2015. Please create a new suggestion for the points you further missing.
    Details for new features in DIAdem 2015, related to your numbering above:
    (1) REPORT/2D Table: Individual background color for table header
    (3) REPORT: Grouping objects
    (5) REPORT/2D Table: Alternating background color for rows and columns, indiviual background color for columns, individual background color for rows and cells via script and events
     

  • 10.4.3 and Single User Mode, now Wireless Keyboard can

    Hello all.
    IN case you haven't found out which I did, just to let you know, with the latest OS 10.4.3 update, now you can boot into Single User Mode (fsck) with your
    b wireless keyboard
    and still at the same time
    b continue to complete fsck process with your wireless keyboard!!
    No more switching to a regular wired keyboard just to complete the process!
    Cheers

    Hi Steven, bit unclear on a couple things.
    When I went into single user mode the fans went wild. But I knew this to be normal and proceeded with repairing the disk
    Normal for fans to go wild in single user or when repairing the disk?
    I replicated the problem – applied the same fix and again every thing was normal.
    The problem being screaming fan and the fix being resetting SMU? (unplug for 15secs). So how did you replicate it, and is it really fixed now?

  • Bluetooth keyboard & mouse connection less user friendly

    In Leopard I was able to power up my bluetooth keyboard and mouse and they would connect automatically. With Snow Leopard I have to power up, get out of my couch (I mostly use my TV as a monitor), go across the room, use the mousepad to click bluetooth icon, click mouse on pulldown menu, click connect and then the same for the keyboard.
    Seems like a small problem, but it actually results in having to do this process an annoying amount of times each day (I turn them off after each use to keep the amount of electromagnetic radiation in the room I spend the most part of every day to a minimum).
    Anyone know if I can get back the functionality of Leopard without uninstalling Snow Leopard? Anyone know why the automaticity of it has been removed/lost?
    (PS: pairing went flawlessly)
    Message was edited by: jmanders

    I am experiencing exactly the same problem the the Bluetooth mouse and keyboard that I use with the Mac mini that is part of my entertainment system. It seems kind of silly to have to use a USB mouse to start up the Bluetooth mouse every time I want to use it. Also, I have found that it is very difficult to get the Bluetooth keyboard to connect, even though the mini shows it to exist and be paired and even though it has fresh batteries. Sometimes the only way that I can get the keyboard to connect is to delete it from the list of recognized devices and then pair it all over again. That goes smoothly, but obviously it is not the ideal way to do things!
    Before I installed Snow Leopard, these devices worked flawlessly!

  • Is there a way to go back to the old calendar system rather than the one currently in ios7?  The ios7 calendar is cumbersome and not user friendly.

    Is there a way to go back to the old calendar system rather than the ios7 calendar?  The ios7 calendar in the iphone does not allow one to see the exact time of appointments in the month mode, it is not user friendly.  It's lost its flexibility.  How can I go back to the old operating system?

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

  • Help Me! Reservations about new MacBook. Specifically DVD drive and lack of other features.

    I don’t know anything about computers or laptops and I’m hoping someone can help me with this dilemma. I want to purchase the new Macbook ‘13inch laptop but I have reservations about it not having a CD drive. I don’t play video games or anything like that where I would need a drive every day, but I would need one for the occasional DVD or TV show I want to watch. It is more of a slight inconvenience. I mean, every once in a while you need a CD to install something onto your laptop or upgrade something, right? 
    If I were to by an external CD drive would the retina quality still be projected through the DVD? Would the type or brand of the external drive matter?  
    All my previous laptops have had a DVD drive so it is hard to imagine not having one. Overall does it really matter that there is no DVD drive?
    And, what else doesn’t the new Macbook have that most laptops do? I am a university student who uses it for normal use. 
    Thank you!

    Image quality is determined by the source, DVD, and then the display.  An external DVD player will achieve the same image quality as internal one.  Blue Ray disks and players have better picture quality but Apple does not support that format.
    Many other laptops have viruses, all others have inferior trackpads, and less user friendly operating systems called windows.
    Ciao.

  • Policies and Excluding Users

    I'm using Messenger 7.0.2 and have a pretty basic question (I hope). I have the following eDir structure
    <Organization>
    <School 1>
    <Office>
    <Staff>
    <Students>
    <School 2>
    <Office>
    <Staff>
    <Students>
    etc.
    My LDAPContainer object looks at everything in the tree (O=organization).
    I have a DefaultPolicy that permits Messenger Use
    I have a DefaultScope profile that includes the entire tree (*,O=organization).
    I'm attempting to exclude certain OUs from Messenger use. Toward that end, I've:
    1. Created a second scope (e.g., *,OU=Students,OU=Site1,O=organization).
    2. Created a second policy and left (and locked) the checkboxes to disable messenger.
    3. I've set the "Scope Profile" attribute for the policy for the new scope.
    4. I cycled the Messenger agents.
    Needless to say it didn't work. When I look at one the "student" users and click the "Novell Messenger" tab, I get a message that there is not policy associated with the Messenger object. I checked the template object but there are no Messenger options. I know I can select a bunch of users, assign the policy, and then it'll work but I have over 10k accounts in 8 different OUs and would like a better option. The documentation says I can go to the "Used By" attribute of my student policy and add them there but that's pretty clunky and requires maintenance.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated!

    Well, it's not perfect but I found a solution using (of course) JRB Utilities. Here's the procedure i wrote up:
    =================================
    Disabling Novell Messenger for Students
    Through the use of Messenger (NM) scopes and policies, Novell has a method for denying NM services to users (students, in our case). The application of the policy, however, is relatively arcane and not user friendly. Through JRB's setname, the policy assignment can be made to large numbers of users very easily. This procedure assumes a "no Messenger" policy already exists.
    1. Create/export a list of users or OUs to which the policy should be assigned. The file should look similar to the following (this example encompasses all students):
    ..*.students.<School1>.<Organization>
    ..*.students.<School2>.<Organization>
    ..etc.
    2. Run SetName to assign the policy to the user attribute:
    Setname @<input file> /a=nnmPolicyDN .StudentPolicy.PolicyContainer.MessengerService.NM .GW.<Organization>
    3. This can be verified on the Novell Messenger tab of the user objects.

    Correction, Messenger 2.0.2.

    3-I put a copy of the file 'laf.jar' in the folder : 'd\Ora_AS\forms\java' in the middle tier and added this path to the classpath environment variable.
    4- I restarted the middle tier and wrote this URL:
    http://test/forms/frmservlet/config=summit
    the customers form opened but with no background images,I added the following to the URL '&form=test_laf_color_scheme.fmx',the form opened with the default color scheme to 'purple',I changed it from a drop down list to orange and all buttons background color degraded to orange.
    My questions:
    1-where are the background images ?
    2- I cannot compile the 'laf.pll' file to 'laf.plx',when I compile I get this error:

    Hello,
    I'm curently out of everything so I cannot answer this one. All I can tell is that images are read from the client machine or jar file. If you want read images from the application server, you need the http:// syntax.
