Thank you for ruining one of the best support sites on the web

The discussions forum which I have used for years is now nearly unnavigable, the instant searching is annoying, and only three search results? To a keyword "folder"? Really? If I wanted to use Bing, I would.
But apparently Apple is trying to emulate Microsoft in making it's web site and many of it's programs almost unusable. Way to go.

Unfortunately... I can say for myself that I have cut back tremendously on providing support.  I used to spend quite a bit of time browsing and offering help when I can.  Now, from the perspecitive of someone looking to offer help (as opposed to trying to find it), the site is very difficult to use.  Tons of useful information that used to make navigating easy is no longer available.  One of the things that still ticks me off to no end is that when I'm browsing postings... hit "More" at the end of the list... find something interesting to respond to... when I click back, it takes me back to the top of the topics list again... so I need to scroll down again... hit more again... and try to track down where I left off so I can continue to review postings.  I much prefer pages to the whole idea of clicking on "More".
Basically... as a result... I'll just pop in once in a while.  If something is close to the top of the list of new postings, I'll answer it.  I expect postings that have been around longer are likely to get ignored more quickly as people won't bother with the hassle of trying to navigate.
Keeping track of posts is also a pain (and I'm not going to bookmark every response I make).  So, unfortunately I don't tend to follow up with people as often as I would have in the past.
I really didn't like the changes when they first made them.  But, I wanted to give it a chance and not be labeled as someone who was just averse to change.  Having given it a significant amount of time, I don't find this update anymore user friendly than the first day I tried it.
I would be very suprised if the level of support provided here has not significantly decreased since the update.

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    Based on your description, we can run cmd command
    gpresult/v on client machines to check the group policy result and keep us posted.

  • Thank you For Updating Content

    Being a DishNetwork customer, I am not so fortunate as to have 3D channels in my line up. Dont know why they still think 3D is a passing fad but they need to grow up, unless they are simply trying to spin down their company for a sale.
    Either way, thank you for continuing to update the content avaiable in my Home Menu with at least some clips of the 3D channle 3Net. I got my 3D TV for the ability of 3D content. Its to bad they cant figure out how to add 3Net as a subscription base to the Home Menu, or maybe Sony Entertainment Channel (previosuly Qriocity).
    Thank you to what ever department is doing this... and PLEASE DONT STOP!!!
    ...if you can get us customers even more...

    Hello,
    Welcome to the User Discussion Forums.
    We appreciate the kind words, however we cannot take full credit for the updates. Content is streamed to the Sony Network by the Broadcast publisher for all Bravia Internet Channels.
    Thank you for watching.
    Whether or not Sony can take full credit for this, I do give them props. As I stated, we are deciated DishNetwork Subscribers but the simple fact they have been putting this off for over 2 years now means something to us as well.

    Thank you for your service.
    I was most disappointed to find, however, that the letters I really wanted (Adobe Garamond Alternate Caps) is not in this collection and indeed, one now has to use another fancy designing program to construct those letters. I can’t afford to buy Photoshop just to construct two special capital letters. I’ve used the B and M in my logo for Balquhidder Music for years - but from jpgs - and I was hoping to have more flexibility in the future. I spent $169 to make sure I am in compliance. But I didn’t get anything of use to me.
    I can’t understand why those Alternate Caps are not part of this - or any other package. I thought Adobe was capable of amazing things.
    I assume I am whistling in the dark. So have a nice day.

    Actually, when Adobe moved from Type 1 fonts to OpenType CFF fonts, all the so-called “expert typefaces” were consolidated into the base fonts. In other words Adobe Garamond Pro Regular not only has the Western Latin characters of the original Type 1 version of Adobe Garamond, but also has alternate Latin capitals (with titling, titling floating accents, and stylistic alternates), alternate Latin lowercase (swash and superiors), Latin small capitals (alphabetic and floating accents), ligatures, multiple numeric forms (including lining tabular, lining proportional, oldstyle tabular, oldstyle proportional, superscripts, scientific inferior, numerator, denominator forms, fractions, mathematical operators, etc.) plus a raft of other special symbols.
    OpenType fonts are Unicode-based and allow for more than the 256 characters in Type 1 fonts which required multiple typefaces all with mappings to a standard keyboard to accommodate all these glyphs.
    Thus, hopefully your disappointment will turn to joy.
    To assist you in understanding OpenType fonts and to show you what is in the current Adobe Garamond fonts, I have attached a few PDF files for your perusal.
    Let us know if you have any questions.

  • My iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2.  I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each one upon reinstalling the backup copy? Thank you for help

    Almost my iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. (the last 2.5 weeks worth of added music has transferred post-upgrade, none of whcih was bought from iTunes)
    I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each playlist upon reinstalling the backup copy? This would save a HUGE amount of time and efforts. Thank you for your help!

    hi Limnos,
    I do not mean the entire ITunes folder but, rather, the contents of the ITunes folder prior to September 29th.  (90% of the media is missing, along with all playlists)  The media that remains says it was added on 9/29 although I know most of it was added many months or even years earlier. There are no playlists listed at all, before or after 9/29.  (I know for certain that I added non-iTunes purchased songs on 10/6 although I had not created playlists for them)
    I have my iTunes folder backed up on both an external drive as well as Time Machine.
    I run iTunes off of an ITunes folder on my computer rather than from the external, if that's what you mean about how I have it set up. 
    Is it OK to drag the entire iTunes folder from the external drive onto my laptop's drive and see if that fixes it?
    Thank you for your help!

  • How can I enter my podcast in more than one category?  Mine covers arts, education and society and culture, but is listed as "Performing Arts".  Thank you for your time!

    How can I enter my podcast in more than one category, to reflect the fact that it covers arts, education and society and culture?  Thank you for your time!

    You can have more than one category - this page shows you how the tags are formed:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#category
    The Store will list only the first category and its sub-category at the top of the page. Like the first category, the others will in theory make your podcast available for searching by category. However searching just on the category in the iTunes Store is most unlikely to throw up your podcast. There are thousands of podcasts out there, and it would be quite impossible to display on one page the entire list for any category. What you see are 'featured' podcasts, chosen by Apple as being special; please see this Tech Note:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#getfeatured
    Note that there is no way you can influence the selection other than making your podcast really special.
    If you have further questions about making your podcast it's better to ask them in the Producing Podcasts forum.

  • I got my ipod touch (4th generation) on March 20,2012, and it fell out of my pocket and cracked the screen. I would like to know how much it costs to get it repaired and how much insurance costs. Thank you for your time.

    I got my ipod touch (4th generation) on March 20, 2012, and it fell out of my pocket when I jumped. Unfortunantly, the screen cracked very badly, and it has become a hazard, not only for the many cuts I have gotton on my fingers from the ipod screen's broken glass, but for what I type (because the screen is cracked so badly, I cannot see what I am doing). The ipod has become pointless to own in its condition. I would like to know how much the repair would be, where the best place to get it done is located, and how much future insurance would cost in the United States. Thank you for you time.

    See "Repair Pricing."
    No clue where you can purchase insurance but it's probably not worth the price.

  • I have a MacBookPro6,2 and would like to connect an older Dell flatscreen, model L17BNS. I would welcome any information about the type of cable I need and any settings I might need to change, etc. Thank you for your time.

    According to:
    http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3515/p/19351107/19767627.a spx#19767627
    It has DVI ports.  This means you are best to use an adapter that supports DVI.  Note there is no audio that carries over DVI.  What you need is a mini-Displayport to DVI adapter, and the proper DVI cable. Since Dell doesn't have the specs, you'll need to tell us if you have pins or holes, and how many are grouped.

  • How to change the 'Thank you for your submission' message?

    I have a webform to collect subscriber info for an email list - there is a standard 'Thank you for your submission' message that is posted when they submit. How does one edit that message?  Thanks!

    Hey there, under System Layouts it is the general message layout. It applies to all forms though so be aware it needs to be still generic.

    Can anyone please help? Every time I start up my imac OSX 10.6 desktop my Aperture 3 programme opens up without being requested. Is it possible to stop this happening and only allow Aperture to open by using the desktop icon? Thank you for any assistance anyone may be able to give.
    Best regards, John.

    because there is absolutely no mention in my System Preferences of either Users & Groups nor Start Up Items.
    John,
    William's solution was much easier - just for completeness sake: The preferences panes to edit your startup items moved between the Mac OS X updates: I forgot that the "Users&Groups" preference pane used to be called "Users" in Mac OS X 10.6; it is the panel that you use to create new User accounts; and earlier systems had a separate preferences panel "Login" to enable and to disable the applications that are launched at login. Both are now combined in "Users&Groups". Sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase with the wrong Preferences panel.
    Regards
