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! ;-)

  • 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.

  • 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.  

  • 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.

  • I backed up my Iphone to itunes so i can do the new Update to IOs 7 and so now that i updated it i want to backup and restore and its not working, Please help!

    I backed up my Iphone to itunes so i can do the new Update to IOs 7 and so now that i updated it i want to backup and restore and its not working, Please help!

    An iPhone backup to a computer via iTunes stores the photos in a backup file that is only meant to be be used if needed to restore back to the phone. There is 3rd party "extractor" software available but otherwise the photos are not directly viewable.
    The backup via iTunes was a good idea and your Camera Roll photos should be there and should be able to be restored to your new phone. However if it was me I wouldn't rely on that alone. I would also import the photos to a computer where you can see and verify that you have a copy. That is a good idea at any time (not just when you know you might need it). Any phone can be lost, broken, suffer hardware issues, etc at any time and lose all data on it. Following is a link with information on how to import the photos to a computer:  Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

  • 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.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • HT4623 I do not like the new iOS 7 operating system on my iPad.  I do not like the Safari works, I do not see a way to enter or search for a new web site.  Is there a way that I can go back to the older operating system?

    I do not like the new iOS 7 system on both my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S.   I can not like the way Safari works, I can not see a way to enter name to search for new web sites.  Is there a way I can go back to the old iOS 6.1.5 operating system on my devices?  Thank you.

    I can not see a way to enter name to search for new web sites
    Put your search terms in the combined URL and search bar at the top of the browser (exactly the same as you do in most modern desktop browsers such as Chrome, Safari, Explorer). There is no separate search box, just use the box where you enter web addresses.
    And no, you cannot downgrade.

  • 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.

  • How good is the new Adobe Reader IOS for fillable forms and interactive pdfs?

    At last adobe reader for ios has been updated so now fillable forms can be completed on ipad/iphone but how good is it?
    I've tested a form and reset form/print form and save as buttons do not seem to work.
    Form submit seems ok, just wondered what others thought?
    Also the new Adobe Reader IOS is now able to display interactive pdfs with buttons such as go to next page etc yet page transitions do not work? Again whats everyone elses opinion on the reader ios update?

    My preliminary experience is that Reader does better with forms than with interactivity.
    I've written a couple postings on InDesignSecrets.com about PDF readers for tablets. Here's the latest one:
    Finding the Best Tablet PDF Reader
    You should also check out PDF Expert (US $9.99) which handles interactivity better than Reader if that is important to you.

    I backed up my ipad to the cloud as it had a broken screen so I swaped it out for a new one and now I cant restore because the new Ipad has IOS 6 and my back up is 6.1!  This is what I get for buying an Ipad twice in a week because of a broken screen? $500 the first buy and then another $299 plus tax for the swaped out one that I can't restore with my backup data.

    I assume that you will have to set up as new since it will not let you restore from the backup. Then after you set it up, you can restore from the iCloud backup. The backup should not disappear be use you are setting this device up as new. Your backup should still be in iCloud.
    However, after you activate the iPd and update the software, you will have to erase the device in order to restore from the Cloud backup, that is the only way to get to the iCloud backup.
    Copied from the article that linked you to this discussion ....
    Resolution
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.

  • HT201272 my ipod touch gen 2 will not accept the new ebay app how do i get?

    hi,
    how do i get the old ebay app my ipod touch gen 2 will not accept the new version?

    If you didn't previously download the eBay app and have it still in a backup or somewhere, then you can't. The current version of the eBay app requires iOS 4.3 which will not run on a 2nd-generation iPod touch.
