Things we like to see in iOS 8

Some of Additional things that we love to see in iOS 8 :
Many things can be better in iOS 8. You can add an accessibility in iOS 8
Which users can multi task by pulling the screen up. Actually like iPad. It's really easier and better.
MAKE A USEFUL PROGRAM TO MANAGE EVERYTHING:
It's really bad that users of iPhone need to use many programs to manage files in their phones. iTunes for musics and videos , a photo manager for adding photos and so on.
Actually it's not really related to iOS 8 but, by making iOS 8 you can make iTunes better too or make another program.
It's ridicules that users cannot choose their favorite song for their ringtone.
Why users should download only from iTunes or AppStore? Why they should use apps like downloads to download a file from a website??? Why iPhone doesn't have a download manager itself? You can make a download manager for iPhone which is safe ( against viruses ) and fast. It will be really better.
At last, thank you for the great phone. Everybody knows that from hardware aspect iPhone is the best but software; unfortunately no.

Some things I'd like to see

I don't know if these have already been addressed or if there is some setting that I've overlooked but I'll list them anyway. Here are some things I'd like to see different in Safari:
1. "Save As..." or "Run". Not all files should go into one folder. Sometimes videos should go in its own folder, programs in another, as should pictures, etc. Also some programs have a file that needs to get ran in order for something else to get started. So there should be an option.
2. View video or pictures in the web browser. Sometimes people will post a link to a video or picture and instead of viewing them in the browser, Safari tries and downloads it. Now I have to open the folder, clear the download manager's entry of the file, view the file, delete the file, and then empty my recycle bin. What a hassle! I'm sure Safari can give some native support to Mov or M4V files at least.
3. Better website compatability. Even major sites like Chase for banking won't show up correctly because it didn't have Safari in mind but it shows up fine for IE or Firefox. I'd like to see some better code for that.
4. Ability to sort bookmarks by name. I have imported all my bookmarks from IE just fine. But if I want to reorganize my folder by dragging the folder and moving it between folders, it won't let me. Instead, it opens up the folder like I want to add it between them. I'd like to see some better interfolder organzing with drag and drop or a "sort by name" option.
5. This probably isn't a big one, but on some forums that have drop-down menus for searching (like forums), it just links down to a search box somewhere else on the page instead of providing the drop-down box.
I love many of the other features that Safari offers but there are a few quirks that need to be addressed, IMO.

Would it detect based on filetype, like .VIDEO?

I'm sure Safari can give some native support to Mov or M4V files at least.
I haven't experienced this. I prefer my movies to open in my movie player, so I can full-screen it and keep surfing. Pictures open in the browser for me, but I'm not right-clicking or anything special.
3. Better website compatability. Even major sites like Chase for banking won't show up correctly because it didn't have Safari in mind but it shows up fine for IE or Firefox. I'd like to see some better code for that.
Some websites require extra code to get the site to look like they wanted. This goes for ALL browsers. The web developers did not take Safari into mind, so they didn't program for strict CSS rules, or other things. However, as far as I can tell most sites work fine, they just "look" different. (Fonts look better imo.)
4. Ability to sort bookmarks by name. I have imported all my bookmarks from IE just fine. But if I want to reorganize my folder by dragging the folder and moving it between folders, it won't let me. Instead, it opens up the folder like I want to add it between them. I'd like to see some better interfolder organzing with drag and drop or a "sort by name" option.
Try Bookmarks -> Show All Bookmarks
5. This probably isn't a big one, but on some forums that have drop-down menus for searching (like forums), it just links down to a search box somewhere else on the page instead of providing the drop-down box.
Is that the website? Some websites default to simple controls if Safari doesn't work with the preferred control.
I love many of the other features that Safari offers but there are a few quirks that need to be addressed, IMO.

I use other browsers like Firefox and IE. I use IE for work. Firefox is best for watching YouTube and letting plugins run wild.
I have all plugins disabled in Safari and Java too. If I think a plugin is appropriate, I click the Firefox icon and paste in the URL.

IDEA!!! Great to see Apple and the Drummer for Logic! What I would like to see???

Now what I would love to see and have talked to many that feel the same way, some of my friends work with Aaron Carter, writers, to Kelly Clarkson, Foo Fighters to composers and many want a JOHN WILLIAMS ASSISTANT, maybe thats what it should be called? Assistant or Arranger? Basically, I have seen many take Band in A Box (NO LAUGHING YET), play a riff on the piano, then it puts together some great ok, fair arragements that you never would of thought to do. They then open Omnisphere, BFD (or some drum thing), Trilogy (for bass), and a SOFTWARE ORCHESTRA and they have insta song. Apple would do the best job and really wished they snagged giga studio? I have great ears, can tell CHINA vs AMERICAN 6L6 coke bottles apart, even easier vs EL34, or broken .10 cent capacitor. Which would cost you that glassy~shimmer sound, like fender has, so this should had been swooped up by Apple as it was the WARMEST SOUNDING SAMPLER EVER INVENTED - probably one of a few that have a working MAC copy - -but they were to slow - by the time they had it, everyone ahd their own, OR they had (TASCAM) problems with security so when you get Kontakt, yeah, it might have great security but your paying for via the ROUND, WARM sound only possible by GIGA and Apple!
Now, I don't want someone with ZERO TALENT to come in, push a button and poof, a song, they tried with MAGIC GARAGE BAND but never really developed it so all they songs sound the same.
I would like to see a bass, orchestral, guitar, (although nothing beats playing) and especially an arranger where you lay down some notes and boom, a song is arranged for you. Apple could do it. Most that have Pro Tools also have LOGIC and most new hardware has THUNDERBOLT, so, if they put their minds to it, they would grab the pro's, prosumers in an instant and anyone on a PC would switch to mac just for the arranging as J. Wiiliams will play a few notes sometimes, and have an arranger write it out take off for a week or so and come back with a few versions.
Apple could do that, have a button to push, save but try again>Man, just having a program that throws maybe plugins and so on into the channel and change with the push of a button would be geniuos. Not to mention, start researching John Lennon, 65, 70, 75, 80 vocal chain, press a button, you have his affects/doubling, et-cetera. Plus Paul, Kurt K., Kelly Clarkson, everything from ROCK to metal to country and teen pop would be dope.
Then have LOGIC self regulate via the spectrum analizer and change thinks around until it was full as a great song with the guitar SOLO'd, should sound like poop, but when the rest of the mix is on, magic!
PEACE.

Features I would very much like to see in Flash CS5

Just a preface: I'm coming at this from the perspective of a professional Flash character animator. I've worked on two TV shows and one big-budget online virtual world/game and I've been using Flash professionally since MX 2004. I've also written a lot of JSFL commands and done a little actionscript programming (I used to be a software engineer, so the programming comes pretty maturally to me).
So with that said, here are some of the things that I'd really like to see in the next version of Flash, approximately in order from more to les important:
3. Stability and user friendliness. Please, guys, spend a little more time on polish and leave off the one or two extra cool features that you were thinking about throwing in.
13. Color management. I can't emphasize this one enough. COLOR MANAGEMENT! Take a look at Toon Boom Studio for what I'm talking about. Particularly in large projects, the ability to have a real color palette, rather than just having each shape have an RGBA value, would be incredibly useful. That way if I decide I don't like the color of a character's shirt I could just change the shirt color palette entry and it would automatically update every shape in the file that used that palette entry. An extra bonus, though less important, would be to be able to control it from Actionscript -- to be able to change a palette entry dynamically at run-time.
5. non-affine transforms for symbols. Particularly, we want trapezoidal/perspective skew! I've heard SO many people talk about wanting this. I was hoping that the 3D stuff in CS4 would allow it, but no such luck. While it's theoretically possible the controls just aren't set up to allow it.
1. Make EVERYTHING in the Flash authoring environment scriptable. Currently there are a number of things that can be neither scripted nor given a keyboard shortcut, (for instance the onionskinning controls).
2. Make Flash remember its maximized status from the previous session (this is a problem in many Adobe products).
4. Real hardware 3d acceleration.
6. Refine the JSFL API to be more thorough and consistent (see also #1). Make it so that everything you can do in JSFL happens in a way that makes sense. For instance, a couple problems I had recently: delete a shape from the stage and then draw a new one with Path.makeShape() and the new shape is created as if the old one were still there (with extra vertices at edge intersections); and Path.makeShape() won't create cubic paths -- it automatically converts cubic contours to quadrilateral ones.
7. Speaking of types of paths: Make the distinction between quadrilateral and cubic paths clearer to the user. Most people I talk to don't have any idea what the difference is, or that cubic paths are likely to produce more vertices than they expect in the final SWF. In fact, I think you should consider ditching the distinction entirely, at least from the user's perspective. Make every path in the authoring environment cubic, and just convert them to quadrilateral (if you must) on export. This'll relieve a lot of annoyance from users unexpectedly finding that their shape they just created very frugally suddenly has three times as many vertices.
8. Make bones work better on raw shapes. In fact, make them work more like Maya: each bone should affect each vertex to a degree decidable by the user. Currently bones affect each vertex either 0% or 100%, which means that, for instance, it's nearly impossible to get a smoothly curving snake.
9. Add at least one new fill style: we have radial blending, but the major one we're missing is the OTHER kind of radial -- with rays shooting our from a center. Perhaps less realistically, I can't tell you how much it would rock to be able to use a path-based color blend -- where the blend actually follows an arbitrary path (like what you can do in Synfig -- www.synfig.org).
10. Add precision to the stage. Currently it's very hard to position things when zoomed in close, and display artifacts are show up on curves, where they get flattened out for no apparent reason. I think the display artifacts are new to CS4, so perhaps it's just a bug that needs to be worked out in the new display engine? But the current situation is a real pain -- where any symbol that's created relatively small will unavoidably contain rendering and positioning issues.
11. A feature that's been missing (and sorely missed by TV animators) since Flash 8 is the ability to smoothly copy and paste from Flash to Illustrator. There's absolutely no reason this shouldn't be an easy task, and I'm still confused as to why it disappeared from MX 2004 to Flash 8. It's extremely useful for applying art brushes to paths or animating 3D door swings in Illustrator and then bringing the art back into Flash.
12. For that matter, what about art brushes in Flash? I realize they would be heavy in the SWF -- either in rendering time or in space used -- but you've already got stipled brushtrokes, and aren't those just as heavy? Art brushes would be INCREDIBLY useful to animators and designers.
14. Engage with the people who use Flash. Get some dialogue going on between users and developers. Most Flash users I meet (admittedly mostly character animators and character rig builders/designers) have very specific wishes for Flash, and for the most part they coincide very nicely. Yet release after release we don't see any of the changes, features, or bugfixes, that seem the most obvious.

Hi there,
I can assure you that the wishlist is monitored by our team. It does not go into a black hole or shredder - the messages are read by the Flash team, and forwarded as needed, and non-duplicate/legitimate bugs are filed.
Some of the things on your list are known. I'll go through the items, and encourage you to send some messages along these lines (I'd recommend one submission per item, but this is up to you).
* Stability and performance: This is definitely still being worked on. You'll see a lot of that work in the Flash 10.0.2 update, and I can assure you it's still a priority.
* Color management improvements: We do have bugs in this area filed, I believe very similar or the same as you have below, but please feel free to your ideas in this area if you'd like to ensure they're covered.
* Transforms for symbols (3D), and hardware acceleration: Should submit this to the Flash Player wishform (which is external, enabling votes) - if they support it, that support can be transferred to the authoring tool. http://bugs.adobe.com/flashplayer/
* Keyboard shortcuts and JSAPI: Please submit any specific requests (exact areas that are missing). For the keyboard shortcuts for UI where they cannot yet be assigned, this would be a separate request (I'm not sure about the feasibility of buttons as opposed to menu items).
* Cubic vs quadratic paths: This is known and is a difference between the authoring tools/UI and Flash Player, and it's the reason for "10" (more precision to the stage). It's not really about artifacts or precision, but about how Flash Player renders curves in general. If you draw in an AS2 document, you won't see the change from curves to flat edges. If you export that document to the Player in AS2, you'll see the "artifacts" you see on the stage in AS3 documents. This is a known issue of the authoring UI and drawing tools, and making this better is really really high priority in my books too.
* Bones: Many issues are known and presently being worked on.
* Fill style: Please feel free to file this enhancement request, I'm not sure if it has been requested.
* Cross-product copy/paste (Illustrator): This is known, but if you have some specific issues or workflows you've encountered and want to make sure its rectified, please send that along.
* Brushes: Definitely requested/known. I'd love to see that too, in particular.
* Engaging with users: Definitely covered too! That's why we have betas (which do include prominent animators), why I hang out here, and so on. We do have designers (I went to art school) and animators on the team too. I know how it feels though - many of the features I'd most like to see can't be added yet, as Flash covers such a broad user base from coders to animators (many releases have left the coders feeling the same way). All I can say is please submit your feedback to the wishlist, and continue to voice up about what you'd most like to see in Flash with the specifics.
Great feedback!
Thanks.

Wide angle correction plug-ins I'd like to see in FCP

It with some frustration I learn how Adobe Premiere's CS3 is beginning to overtake FCP in terms of useful plug-ins. One very useful plug-in in Premiere is "unpop" (not sure if that's it's actual name) that corrects the barrel distortion on wide angle adapters to give your footage a more Hollywood wide angel look, straightening out those curved verticals towards the edges of the frame. That's a plug-in I'd like to see FCP adopt in the next upgrade. Whilst they're at it, why not add PhotoShop's lens correction filter that can remove/lessen chromatic aberration? Anyone using wide angle lens would find these effects filters indispensable.
Unless of course anyone knows of a (cheap!) set of effects plug-ins that can already do these things?
Here's hoping.

It with some frustration I learn how Adobe Premiere's CS3 is beginning to overtake FCP
in terms of useful plug-ins.
Such stuff is all relative. Apple is not going to to provide a filter for everything and your need for barrel distortion correction is not anywhere on my list of things to add or to fix in FCP.
There are literally hundreds of plugs available for FCP. All you have to do is invest time to find them, time to test them, and money to buy them.
But there will always be interesting things available for After Effects that won't work in Motion; cool filters for FCP that aren't available for Premiere, stuff you can do in Photoshop that would be silly to have available inside Aperture.

My Ipod Touch has Software Version 4.2.1 and says that there is no update available. Yet I see that IOS 5 is out.. Why is it that my Ipod says no update is available or that my Ipod is up to date?

My Ipod Touch has Software Version 4.2.1 and says that there is no Update available. Yet I see that IOS 5.0 is out. Why does my Ipod say that there is no update available and my Ipod is up to date yet there is newer software available?

Because you have an older model that is not upgradable to iOS 5.x.

New Feature I want to see in iOS 7

A new feature I want to see in iOS 7 is the Forgot Passcode? feature. For example: If you forgot your normal passcode you use to sign in to your device, you can tap that button* and you will be prompted to sign in with your Apple ID. Once you do that, you will be asked to enter a new passcode.
This will also work for your Resrictions Passcode. If you forget it, you can tap that button and you will be prompted to sign in with your Apple ID. Once you do that, you will be prompted to answer one of your security questions.
If you forget all of your answers, you can tap the Forgot Answers? button. Once you do that, you will need to go to Apple's Support Page, select your device, then click "Forgot Security Answers". You will then select "Talk with Apple Support Now". You will be asked to enter a 10 digit Inquiry Number on the chat room. It should look like this:
XXX-XXX-XXXX
Enter the enquiry number what you see on your device. You will then be issued a Master Key. A Master Key is a 6 digit number what you need to use to access your restrictions. It should look like this:

Improvements you'd like to see in Novell's Knowledgebase

There might also be improvements you'd like to see with the Knowledgebase and the ways you search novell.com/support for technical info for your questions/issues. This Thread is meant to capture your ideas on these things we should consider improving.
Kind Regards,

Providing better access to information...
The current Knowledgebase does a pretty good job of consolidating technical documents but what I would really like to see is a single location where I can access a wide range of Novell documents and very quickly zero in on the relevant ones.
There are still too many places to search when problem solving or trying to remember where I may have previously encountered a particular document. If I need a specific TID and have the number, it's easy to find it (most of the time). If my interest is a bit more general, I may have a large number of documents to sift through. For some things I may even have to visit a different site.
The knowledgebase, in a broader sense, can be taken to mean any information pertaining to Novell, its products & services, its partners, press releases, licensing, training, events, technical documents, forum posts, NUI, Brainshare, patches, downloads, etc. I think it should be wide-ranging in scope - almost like a general purpose search engine. The trick would be to provide a rich set of selection criteria to limit the results.
In addition to the standard keyword search, date range (created/changed), Author, etc. a broad selection of categories would allow the search to be refined to the point where a relatively few meaningful results are returned. Some examples might be:
Product Group / product / release
Location: Region / Country / City
File Format: HTML, PDF, PowerPoint, video, audio, iso, executable, ...
Target audience: Sr. Mgmt., Middle Mgmt., Admin, General, ...
Document Type: TID, CoolSolution, product read-me's, Connections article, white paper, forum post, product announcement, presentation
Subject matter: technical, marketing, sales, training, events, partners, security, patches,
I would expect this list to be enhanced and refined over time to make it more useful.
Of course, we often don't know exactly what we're looking for so I'd like see a breakdown of the results (i.e. number of documents satisfying the various criteria) and the ability to include/exclude certain criteria to refine my selection.
Once my search criteria has been refined to the point where it provides the desired results, I would like to be able to save it. I find often myself searching for the same things over and over again.
Once the search has been saved, it would be very convenient if I could be notified by email whenever any new items appeared that satisfied my search criteria. For example:
- What new TID's or Patches are available for these products?
- What training or other events will be coming to my city during the next 30 days?
- Have any of these documents been updated since I last checked?
I'm sure, given a little time, I could come up with more...:) I hope this helps!

How many other people would like to see a "GarageBand-esque" skin/gui???

how many other people would like to see a "GarageBand-esque" skin/gui for logic express/pro???
i use all three apps a lot, and the main thing i really enjoy about GarageBand is the simple single window interface.
i would like to see apple make the option of having a single window skin for logic.
iMac CoreDuo 2ghz/2GB/500GB Mac OS X (10.4.2)

The good thing about the Logic GUI, how grey and dull it may look, is that you don´t focus on it. It is pleasant to your eyes--and mind.
Garageband is for fun. If Logic should have a lift, I think inspiration should come from Final Cut. An app that initially was developed maybe 10 years later than Logic.
Problem with Logic is that it has been on the run for such a long time.
Quite a few menus haven´t changed in almost 15 years, well 10, then.
(Look at the much loved/hated environment)
Can´t help compare to SX, that had a completely new GUI, with the switch from Vst to SX. At a glance it is much more elegant than Logic.-And many features are superior to Logic--But, as your arrangement in SX grows, your screen will be cluttered--In a mess...all the bells and whistles.
And Logic remains cleaner in it´s dullness.
But, I´m very much annoyed with the GUI of a few Logic instruments.
The worst is Sculpture. Well, the GUI may be fancy enough, but do you have to use a magnifying glass to watch? It is just as bad as Reason!
I remember doing a post about upgrading graphic cards (I have 64 mb) and was adviced: No use, you will not benefit from upgrading, if you primarly use Logic....So Logic has a poor resolution or what? I don´t know, Tell me.

What Would you like to see changed in FC?

Hello everybody,
just a little introduction, as announced flash catalyst would solve the problem of many designers to publish their work without one line of code, well, here begins a death foretold. At some point things to go well but then the problems begin a dependence to have a programmer on the left arm in addition to the program is rather limited. Flash is already incorporating the AS3 language, now wonder why launch a program with a new language, rather confusing, no? as a designer I do not want to worry about programming, but concentrate on the aesthetic aspect of my layout, which is why I found interesting the coming of the catalyst. it was all a lie, or say one more death will be announced shortly birth. but we believe that all this will change and enable designers to express their skills as designers and media .... without a single line of code. otherwise the flash is fine and the catalyst becomes an obsolete program. finally, each monkey on its branch and rethink that, besides confusing the catalyst does not become functional in the optical designer.
What would you like to see changed in Catalyst?
- Most states
- can apply Form Email etc
- better handling of text
- No dependence with programmers, or if it is not possible to incorporate code changes in the proper catalyst
more there, and hopefully remember me
I want to thank The Adobe team that created the opportunity to open new horizons to the class of designers, I still think that the catalyst has great potential ,.... but not the way it is.
Thank you for your attention
and say what they liked to see
cheers
Mike

Well the forms for sure. At least an email form. This really just needs to be there. Ultimatley I think there just needs to be some training right now if they want this product to get used the way they intended. I am sure I will have a ton more to add to this list as I dig deeper into my first live job using it.
Not sure on the AS3 thing, it has been out since 2006, although I may have just misread what you were saying.
A way to change the loading bar would definitly be nice now that I am thinking about it.

The strangest thing: My mac doesnt see ONLY Win7 cd

Hi guys,
Check this out: I bought parallels 5 and Win 7 home edition, in order to put on my mac. Parallels installation was nice and smooth, i created virtual machine and insterted Win 7CD. (official)
And here came the strangest thing: my mac doesnt see it! I ejected the cd, and put in other cd (in this case Starcraft 2), and voila it works, the install image pops up and i see the cd in finder. I put in this very Win 7 cd in the other mac...and it works, finder sees it and i can access it.
However when I put it back in my macbook pro, it keeps spinning it and seems to think its blank, cause iDVD pops up after 2-3 minutes. Parallels 5 doesnt see it, Finder doesnt see it either. What could be the problem? Any ideas welcome
P.S. just tried this Win7 cd on G5 (OS 10.4.6): no problem, took it to the shop and tried it on the shop's MBP: no problem. Tried inserting other CD's in my MBP (as mentioned above they were Parallels, Starcraft2, and Snow Leopard): absolutely no problem. But when i insert this Win 7 CD in, my MBP doesnt recongize it. My brains are fried as I cannot think of one single possibility of what might cause this strangest issue. (tried another Win7 cd, same thing)
Mac OS X 10.6.4/ Mac Book Pro 2.66 Intel Core DUo/ 4GB
this Mac was bought in October 2009 from official store

Actually, it's not that strange at all.
Apparently due to the type of media Microsoft burns the disks on, some drives just don't like it. I had to make a copy of a Windows 7 DVD on my Mac Pro because the drive in a PC refused to read it even though it had no scratches or damage and the drive would read every other disk fine. When making the copy of the disk in my Mac I found that the Apple-shipped SuperDrive would read the disk but my aftermarket DVD burner in the second drive bay would not.
So, your options are to image the drive on another computer and burn a copy, or track down a USB DVD drive and install it from that.
Parallels will install from an ISO so if you can image it on your G5 and then just copy it over the network it will work. You can also enable CD drive sharing somehow, but I've never done that before.
EDIT: I wanted to comment that all the drives I have encountered that would not read the disk were TSSTcorp drives.
Regards,
-Ryan
