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....)

Where does one set space after paragraph in the new Pages 5.0? It used to be under text in the Inspector in the previous version, but I just can't find it in this new version.

Where does one set space after paragraph in the new Pages 5.0? It used to be under text in the Inspector in the previous version, but I just can't find it in this new version. Paragraphs seem to only be dealt with in styles, and the Formatting window for text doesn't seem to have the space after paragraph contrtol that the older Inspector had. What am I missing?

Sorry I did this without looking:
Side panel >Text > Style > Spacing > Turn the triangle > Before Paragraph/After Paragraph/
This is the trouble with the Peeky Boo Contextual Interface that so many wiser heads than mine love to love.

In Final Cut Pro I was trying to move an Event Library from one hard drive to another as explained in the Help section. After doing so, I received a message that my event is already open with the same identifier as the new one I just creat

In Final Cut Pro I was trying to move an Event Library from one hard drive to another as explained in the Help section. After doing so, I received a message that my event is already open with the same identifier as the new one I just created on the new disk. It says the second document cannot be opened and to move one of these documents out of your Final Cut Events folder. It also says to avoid this problem, copy events from within Final Cut Pro, but that is what I did in the first place. What should I do to avoid the double opening conflict?

What exactly are you doing and what version are you using with OS X 10.8?

I am going to buy a bigger hard drive. i am operating on Lion. how do i install my os on the new disk? i can't use time machine.

i am going to buy a bigger hard drive. i am operating on Lion. how do i install my os on the new disk? i can't use time machine.

Plug this new drive as an external drive, boot from lion recovery "command-R" more info here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/
Open disk utility, format and partition the disk at your will (allways Mac OS plus...) and go ahead with the install, don't care if it tells you to whait thousands of hours, I did get installed in 2 hours and a half last week.
If you can't plug the disk as an external one, you'll have first to do an USB disk recovery utility, as easy as download the recovery utility and install it in an USB disk, you can find anything from the link above, plug the disk as a single master, and boot from the USB you created before.
Tell me how it went!!!

I am using numbers in the new iWork. Just bought it 10 days back. I am not able to figure out how to add serial umbers from 1 to 100( for example) also i need to freeze the top header like in windows so that we can browse down without the heading going of

Hi Jay,
Be aware that "Freeze Header Rows" and "Freeze Header Columns" apply only to rows and columns that are Header rows or Header columns. You can have up to five Header rows, Five Header Columns (and five Footer rows) on a Numbers Table.
"Header rows" is a special designation. Besides being able to be frozen, Header and Footer rows are not included in formulas referencing whole columns, making it possible to place formulas such as =SUM(B) at the top (or bottom) of column B without causing a self-reference error, These designated rows are also not included in sorts of the rows in a table.

Barry

HT1399 I just downloaded the newest version of itunes, and when I connect my ipod nano (3rd gen), I can no longer see my playlists (on the left hand side). I hate the new format...any way to revert back to the old one?

I just downloaded the newest versionof itunes. Now when I plug in my ipod, I can no longer see my playlists (listed on the left hand side). The new format is very confusing! How do I drag and drop songs into specific playlists I have? Is there a way to revert back to the old itunes?

I had the same question. Someone answered perfectly here post https://discussions.apple.com/message/20575126#20575126
The answer was click View > Show sidebar. Devices and playlists will display in the left sidebar once again.

I have a new iPad and tried to set up as new, then realized i needed to sign in as an existing itunes user. I reset my new ipad as new, but now when I sign in using my existing ipad it backs up to the new one I just set up. I need my itunes on new iTune

You want to restore from the backup. Do not set up as new. You can read the article that Tom posted above, but it really is pretty simple.
Transfer any purchases from the old iPad into iTunes, backup the old iPad in iTunes and them sync one more time.
Connect the new iPad and when prompted during activation, restore from the backup that you just created and then sync with iTunes.
The new iPad should be identical to the old iPad, but you will have to enter some passwords again on the new device.
Transfer purchases.

Hello guys..does anybody know how to install and use adobe master collection with the new lion?
I need to use Flash and illustratore, but apparently those programmes are incompatible with the new operative sistem...
I am a new mac users and I'd like to know if there are other similar programmes I can use with lion!

well dude I can only let you know that as I work with those programme I don't have to pay for it is my company that pays the programme I whant to use( that's why I was asking if there where other programmes ..that I could use with lion insted that Illustrator and Flash!)..I know Adobe since 2005 and I can say that Adobs products are very good...I think that if it's an Adobe probleme or fault ..they will solve it very soon...but unfortunally I have the impression that after Jobs passed away Appel decided to change politics..and everything started to go very bad! (see FCP X)..
good luck with apple dude..
Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
<The only think I can really do is to go back on my old windows...give back this orrible lap top and ask for my money back!>
Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.

How do you close apps you hve looked at with the new software update?? You used to have to double click the home button and the apps would come up to delete bu that doesn't happen anymore.

The apps in the multitaskbar should appear like pages on the whole display. To close them, just swipe from the bottom to the top. you can select single apps for closing, when you swipe them like you would swipe your homescreens.

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.

What if i bought my computer in june and the new softwares were just going to come out shouldnt you get the software free

what if i bought my computer in june and the new softwares were just going to come out shouldnt you get the software free

$30? on $2500 purchase.
besides, LION is still sortof not quite has a bit beta around the edges and not ready for business production work or workstations.
I thnk they have always come out 6 months too soon and when 10.3.2 or later, .4.3+ etc and same here 10.7.2 maybe or more like .3 as well.
10.7.0? no thanks. They did you a favor. now make sure your software is ready, no PPC, that it has something you need. And use dual boot and only for testing for now. Seriously.

I have an iMac7,1 computer with OS 10.6.8 and wish to use iCloud with it. Is this computer compatible with Apple OS 10.7.2, so I can download the new OS 10.7.2 and use iCloud on my iMac7,1?

Mac OS X 10.7 requires an Intel i3, i5, i7, Core 2 Duo and 2 GB ram...to download you need to call Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE and pay $20 for a download code for the Mac App Store.

I don't know what you mean by old and new format.
Select "Show Sidebar" from the View menu.

The new format is just harder to use
