The new format of apple discussions *****

It's like that comic, "A bored hacker is a frightening thing." Apple obviously has bored or malicious people on hand. For instance, i am typing this in a box that apparently has a default width of 1024 pixels. Yet, my screen is only 1024x768, so it's partially offsceen and there's *nothing i can do about it*. It's also very slow, dropping chars, etc. (bec. of forced RTF text?) The whole methodology of getting to diff forums is now extremely cumbersome and queer. Things (e.g. forum list scroll window) also go off the *bottom* of my screen (default 768 height?) so it takes several extra mouse clicks to get anywhere. Plus, the nice, functional layout for everything from "making a new post" to editing your post to footnoting your particular type of computer (i now have to "add or edit my products") has been made barely functional. W-T-F?
Only someone with nothing better to do would make these changes and more. Someone trying to hold onto their job never would because they'd be fired the next day. Please change back to the old format or else fix these things! Thanks.

When I first arrived at the main page I thought I'd gone to some generic site. It truly is awful!

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.

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....)

Hi there, I'm thinking of buying both a new MacBook Pro and a small 22 inch LED tv for my kitchen... what would I need to be able to use (wireless of course) the tv as a monitor for the new computer? Apple tv? Airport Express? something else? Thanks.

Hi a,

There has been "talk" on and off of Apple TV doing it (and people have done it with a hack), but I haven't really followed it.
It would be a whole lot cheaper getting an adapter (as needed) and cable and simply pluggin it in when you're in the kitchen.

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

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.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firewalls
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Does anyone have an idea when the new version of apple tv is coming out?

does anyone have an idea when the new version of apple tv is coming out? I want to buy apple tv, but would prefer to wait if it is expected to come out in the next month or so.

No, as this is a user forum and speculation is not permitted.

Very excited about the new update - Thanks Apple for the keyboard update with new emojis! But why are there no ethnicity options for the families?

D.p.middleton the Adobe Application Manager has been available for quite some time. It not only allows Creative Cloud users to install their applications but also downloads and applies applicable updates. In addition it is also responsible for the licensing and managing your agreement to the terms and conditions of the EULA.
2. this could be due to you selecting a trial subscription to the Creative Cloud? If you go to one of the Adobe Creative products and select Help>Updates it will launch the update portion of the Adobe Application Manager which I believe is the portion you are looking for?
#3 I believe this was already mostly covered in the answer to #2.
#4 the Adobe Application Manager also receives periodic updates which affects both perpetual and Creative Cloud subscription users.
I hope this provides you many of the answers you are looking for? If not please feel free to respond back with any additional inquiries which you have. Also if you are experiencing any difficulties with the update process please post this as well. It may not be necessary to have a full understanding of the inner workings of the Adobe Application Manager to help you resolve your difficulties.

I am planning to buy the New Ipad from Apple online store. Can I purchase the unlocked version because the online store gives me the option of US carriers ONLY?

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.

HT1689 with the new format I don't see where I download updates for the apps. My phone says I need 18 updates on my apps and I can't find where to do this in the new format. Help.

Thank you anyone for the help.

The new format of what?
If you're running iOS 6 and want to dowonload updates directly to your iPhone, you can open the App Store and click "Updates" in the lower right and install them from there.
If you're talking about iTunes 11 on your computer, then switch to the Apps button on the upper left and you can download them from there.

HT3430 Why isn't there at least a reader so that one can read the new format? Microsoft at least does that.

Preview opening Pages documents is a Lion/Mountain Lion feature but QuickLook works well.
You can even flick through the individual pages of the document.

New "Producing Podcasts" Apple Discussion

FYI ...
Apple.com > Support > Discussions > Producing Podcasts is here:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1107
not sure why this isn't listed in the main Discussions directory ... probably too new (earliest post is 12/30/05). But it appears to be the place to go when you're the producer of the podcast, as opposed to this forum (for podcast subscribers).
Alerted to the new discussion via a link on feedburner.com.

The quote function is gone. That's a cool new feature.
When replying, the focus of the cursor starts in the subject line, not the message field. That's a cool new feature.
The OS field is blank and doesn't match the OS that I've already entered into my profile. That's a cool new feature.
The overall width of the window is still too narrow. That's another cool new ******* feature.
I see that Safari gets a plug ever time a forum member posts from that browser. That's a really ******* super ******* cool feature.
And I had to delete my cookies to be able to log in. That was a ******* chore. I mean, it's a cool feature.
Yup, I'd have to agree. All very cool features.
There are some actual good features tho. It doesn't all suck...
It's now much easier to specify bold, italic, or underlined text using Wiki-like markup instead of the time-consuming bracketed markup tags.
And they haven't expunged my "Now wipe that smirk off your bill, duckboy!" field for being out of gamut with the TOS.
So when I average it all out, I guess it more than half *****. That's better than if it were to totally suck.
Sorry, but I hate change for the sake of it.

I have 5.0 on WIN XP, but the format is the old 3.6 version. How do I get the new format as in 4.0?

I installed 5.0 on my new computer running XP Pro, but the screen
format reverts back to the 3.6 version. According to what I see on the Firefox home page the screen format of 5.0 should match what I had in the 4.0 version. Can this be changed somehow? I was just getting used to the 4.0 format and like it better.

Right-click the menu bar and untick Menu Bar in the dropdown menu.

The new format on FF4 is confusing and difficult to use. Is there a setting where I can change it to show the FF3.6 format?

Myself and several of my friends were discussing the new Firefox layout for Firefox 4.0, and we find it difficult to use. We would like to have the option of using the new Firefox with the old 3.8 layout. That would make it much easier to use. One of my friends is vision impaired and having become accustomed to the old layout, is finding it almost impossible to transition.
I have uninstalled FF4.0 and re-installed FF3.8 so that I can have the familiar layout. Others are doing the same.

If you do not like the new appearance of Firefox 4 then you can change some setting to restore the Firefox 3 appearance.
You can right click the orange Firefox button to open the toolbar menu.
* Click the Menu Bar entry to make the Menu Bar visible.
* Click "Tabs on Top" to remove the check mark and place the Tab Bar at its original position just above the browser window.
Firefox 4 uses a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end of the location bar.
During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button.
If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button.
You can middle-click that Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.
In Firefox 4 you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions. 
The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server. 
So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL. 
The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar.
