Not liking the new format

How do I keep the old format for viewing my home security? I do not like the new format.

I've been using that link to go back to the previous version, but I want to keep the old version and not have to click to go back to it. I can't find make changes to my rules either in the new version. If it isn't broke, don't "fix" it.teleportgrend wrote:
There is a hot link on the home page that says, "Return to previous version." I am with you. With the old version it was easy to select all svaed files for deletion. The new version seems to be limited to one at a time delete.

Ever since I downloaded the latest version of firefox..is running slower, I am not really liking the new format, is there anyway to go back to the old one?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Address book -- not liking the new look

Not liking the new look in Lion. Wish there was a way to change that in the app's preferences.
The old format took up less space on the screen and it was easy to jump between Groups. I like the three column view.

Not Liking the New Redesigned iTunes

The new iTunes is just terrible. I do not like the new look and the user experience is frustrating.
I cannot stop the scrolling after I click and hold the scroll bar. Taking the pointer off the scroll bar and clicking in the song list, or even clicking again in the scroll bar, as examples, does not stop the scrolling. The page scrolls all the way to the bottom or top, depending upon which way you are scrolling. This makes it nearly impossible to target a song in a list, or browse a particular section of the store page, unless I just tap the scroll bar repeatedly and slowly until I get to the section of the page I need.
Also, the song library and play list pages are ugly, confusing, and it takes forever to actually play a song or album after clicking the arrow for "Play." I liked the older play list pages, where you could see the album covers on the top of the page and they would turn like book pages when you chose a particular song or album to play.
I guess I am pining for the early iTunes 10 versions, or maybe even older than that. This new version is just awkward, frustrating, and terrible in terms of mechanics and visual appeal.

Venting here really doesn't do any good. If you want help perhaps finding alternatives to your issues, or in downgrading to an earlier version of iTunes, by all means ask for help. But if you just want to vent, it would be best to do so directly to Apple via the feedback pages.
Regards.

I am having trouble setting up icloud it keeps sending me back to install instructions and I'm just getting frustrated. So far I'm not liking the new itunes I can't figure out how to look at my duplicate music like I used to.

I can't sign on to icloud. It says I need an icloud account. I click the help option it send me back to the same page. I reinstall it nothing.
Download the iCloud Control Panel.
To enable iCloud on your Windows PC, first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows (Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 or Windows 7 required).
ok I can't seem to set up iCloud on any device I don't understand... Ive already installed it three times.
Turn on iCloud.
From the Windows Start menu, choose iCloud Control Panel.
Enter the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account and select the iCloud services you’d like to enable.
For mail, contacts, and calendars, you can use iCloud.com or Outlook 2007 or later.
there is no iCloud control panel but I click on i cloud. Then entere the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account - WHAT!!!!? where is this I keep trying to find out how to create and iCloud account but I keep getting these stupid directions!!!
Enable automatic downloads.
To enable automatic downloads for your music, apps, and books, open iTunes > Edit > Preferences > Store and select Music, Apps, and Books.* (Requires iTunes 10.5 or later.)
- This is the only step that makes sense and already did it...
Turn on iCloud for the rest of your devices.
To get the most out of iCloud, set it up everywhere.
This is soooo frustrating!!!!
Also I want to be able to look at duplicate songs on my itunes but after I downloaded the new version I can not figure out how to get that back. If the duplicate setting isn't in the new itunes I want the old version back.

Did you ever resolve the iCloud problem.I am in the same position and its driving me mad!!! If you have a link to an solution I would appreciate it.

Not liking the new imessage in iOS 8

Actually, I don't like the Android-like gray bar with the three different words. I much preferred the iOS 7 method of giving me the pretty little blue suggestions just above where I was typing. The iOS 8 way seems cumbersome and slow, even if that isn't the case. How do I get the old way back, or can I?

Well, this kinda solves my problem. I seem to recall that it would still suggest words (but only one at a time), whereas now it doesn't. It does offer corrections if I fat-finger something. Us users are never satisfied! ;-)

I upgrade from LR3 to LR5 and the basic panel is the old format...does not have the new sliders that

and the basic panel is the old format...does not have the new sliders that were introduced in LR 4. Using Windows 7 if that matters.
still seeing fill light and recovery instead of shadows and highlights

You have to change the photo to Process Version 2012.
Under the histogram in the develop module is a Lightning Bolt icon. Click on it.

Does anybody else not like the new discussion format?

There were very logical reasons why G4 iBooks were seperated from G4 PowerBooks, etc, etc, etc........!!!
Is there anyway of looking at just G4 iBooks discussions without doing a simple search each time under the new regime?
OR (please), is the old format still there but just hidden in new clothing?
Thanks for your time.
I feel like a dinosauer (spell???).

Hi, Bruce.
I think any of us who have posted here for awhile are having a hard time getting used to the new format.
Are you looking for the PowerBook forum, then? (One thing I really don't like is that your specs aren't automatically posted any more. I had to go to your profile to see which Mac you have.)
You've landed in the iBook Discussions. All iBooks have been lumped together, but there is a separate Discussion for PowerBooks. Let me see if I can get the link for you. (Then you can bookmark it in your browser if you like. That's what I've done.)
Here is the link to the PowerBook Discussions:

Don't feel bad about having navigation problems. Most of us are struggling, but it's coming.
Good luck.

My Numbers program changed yesterday while I was working on a document and now I can't open it. I get a message telling me I need a newer version to open the document. All the others seem to open OK. I HAVE NOT PURCHASED THE NEW VERSION. What happened

OK, this is the first time I have used this so I may not have started correctly, so here goes another try. I opened a Numbers Document and noticed the presentation was different from when I worked it before. Since there have been a number of auto updates since I had worked in Numbers, I assumed I had an updated program. I found it hard to figure out so I closed the document and went on to other things. When I went back to it I found a message saying I needed a newer version of the program to open it. Fortunately, the document was backed up and when I opened the backup it came in my familiar form. I have not purchased the new version of Numbers but suspect that is what was using for that brief period yesterday. Anyone know haw that happened?

Hi Sailor,
It is pretty amazing you got a new version without even knowing it.
In System Preferences > App Store you can turn off the automatic updates by unchecking "Install app updates" as I've done here:
If you're using Numbers across platforms and displaying dynamic output on the iPad or doing data entry there, you'll be *much* happier with Numbers 3.0 than the old version. If you're doing a lot of traditional printing of heavily formatted documents, the old version is much better. For most day-to-day uses in between it's a toss-up. The new version, despite its flaws, is a powerful application that can enhance productivity in ways the old version can't.
For more on the differences between the two, see the features gained, features lost, and workarounds threads, plus Apple's support document on features to be reintroduced in the coming months .

I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file

I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

How do I transfer music and photos from my Power Mac G5 to my new iMac. Have an old FireWire but it does not fit the new iMac

I am trying to transfer photos, music, etc from my Power Mac G5 to my new iMac. The Power Mac is too old for the migration assistant to help. I have an old Firewire but it does not fit the new iMac. Any suggestions? If a Firewire is the best option which one do I need? Thanks.

You need a Firewire 800 to 400 adapter or cable or a external USB 2/3 drive (self powered) it can default to the old USB the G5 uses 1 or 2.

Not Liking The Yellow Tinted Screen

I'm kind of disappointed that Apple decided to put a cheaper screen in the new phones. Hopefully I'm wrong and that it's not a screen and can be fixed through an update or something, or I can return this phone in a month or so and they'll have the newer shipment of phones with old iPhone lighting on the screens. I'm currently doing a restore on my phone to see if it fixes the lighting at all, because I read somewhere that a restore makes it less yellow tint-ish. Also not liking the 1 bar I'm getting at my house with 3G on, not cool.
Now I got a question. I don't know much about MobileMe but I don't have it. I also don't know anything about Push and if it has anything to do with MobileMe. I have 2 Gmail accounts loaded on my iPhone, should I keep Push on? And does it have any effect on battery usage with it on?

This is the partial breakdown:
1st Gen iPhone had a white point of 8300K;
iPhone 3G has white point between 6800K - 7300K by design, intentional.
Native white point for a Mac monitor is 6500K (D65)
Mac monitors are usually at Gamma 1.8 (subtly blu-ish IMO), and PC monitors are at Gamma 2.2 (slightly fluorescent yellowish)
What is the Gamma of the screen of the 3G iPhone?
Because if a future adjustment is available to screen settings of 3G iPhone, then I would try to set it to 6500K and a Gamma of 1.8 to most nearly emulate a Mac monitor.
So I wonder if Apple changed to a yellowish 2.2 Gamma, to slightly cater to the larger PC user base , who is used to seeing screens at Gamma 2.2, with its inherent yellowness?
Either way, I don't think I'll have a problem with new screen, cuz I got an idea of why it was chosen.

Trying to move my iTunes Music and other media from the main drive on my pc to an external hard drive but iTunes is not recognizing the new file location? Ideas?

Hello there, Underwriter.
The following Knowledge Base article provides in-depth instructions on how to migrate your content to an external drive:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
Particularly of note for your situation:
External drive
This option requires more work than Home Sharing, but it creates a backup of your iTunes library on the external drive in addition to moving your content.
Notes before you start:
You can use most iPods as an external drive.
Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Because of this, you can't use a Mac-formatted iPod or external drive to move your music to a Windows PC. See iPod: How to determine iPod's hard disk format if you're not sure how your iPod is formatted.
Mac OS X can read Windows-formatted iPods and drives. This means there are many ways to migrate your information from your old Windows-based PC to your new Mac.
Mac OS X: To be sure external drives appear on your desktop, choose Preferences from the Finder menu. Be sure the options for "External disks" and "Hard disks" are enabled.
Part 1: Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder
Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer:
Part 3: Get iTunes ready on your new computer
Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer
Part 5: Copy music to your new computer
Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

The new format is just harder to use

The new format, imho, is just harder to use. You need to click all over the place after logging in to see changes to the discussions you've contributed to, to locate discussion groups, etc. The old site was just more user friendly, though not as pretty.
I for one would like the option to use and see the old interface.

Hi, Marlinespike -
I can't find my last posts or my last questions. I don't have a clue as to how to find anything.
Copy/pasting a reply I gave to someone else a couple of days ago here, with modifications...
If you go to the main page of this site (https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa) and then the Your View (personalize) tab—which you should set as the default—you can set yourself up to watch pretty much anything you're interested in, including all of the topics you're participating in.
To watch your own topics, choose the Watch A User widget and drag that widget down into the body of the page, placing it wherever you like.
Once you've placed the widget, click the disclosure triangle in the upper right and choose 'Edit this widget.'
Next, enter your name in the Username field. (It defaults to Yourself.)
Give your widget a custom title, select which categories of your content you'd like to appear in the widget, and enter how many results you'd like to appear in the widget (max is 100)...
Click Save Properties, and voilà...
Finally, look back at the top of the page, and click Publish Layout, and you're done.
(Note that for all of the available information to appear in this widget, you have to choose a layout for your home page that includes at least one column that's half the width of the page or larger....)

KEYNOTE: Why change the format of the presentations? not respect the original format!

Why change the format of the presentations? Keynote not respect the original format!
This new versionof Keynot (6.1-1769) is very poor:
is very slow
missing fonts
changes the selected letters
change the formats of the presentations
Carousel animations missing
Please correct the defects before releasing a new version. (The previous version was much better).

Found the solution!
I must set the Formats in the CODEC to get the Format that I want to play with! I was trying to complicate too much!
The correct format class to is RGBFormat.
