Thoughts on new iOS7 Design

I am curious as to what everyones thoughts are on the new redesign of iOS 7?
I personally dont like it. I have never liked the flat, bland look of a OS. That is one of my biggest complaints of Windows Phone and Windows 8 is the OS is just bland and lacks any character. Now Apple has adopted the same concept. 
I will admit some aspects of the new OS looks nice even with the flat appearance but there are just to many ugly spots. And what is up with the dots for signal strength? I am going to wait and see it in person at a Apple store before I make a final judgement and will wait for the jailbreak community for any news on a potential iOS 7 jailbreak. Otherwise while i still love the build quality of the devices I may end up switching to Andorid.

Flat appearance! Funny. I have an android and I have never owned a iphone. But, wow was I ever impressed by Mr.. Steve F's presentation. I can see that the designers of IOS7 put a lot of thought into beefing up the iOS. I was deeply disappointed by Scott Forstall's presentation in 2012. It was great effort on his part, but the details were missing. I think dangerously so. Kudos to Tim Cook, Ive, Schiller, Steve F., and all others who worked directly or indirectly for their hard work on updating the iOS software. Its useful, simple, easy on the eyes,  and manageable. He(Steve F.) drove home a point with Air Drop and using it to share items with others. "No having to go around the room and touch your phone to others!" Truly awesome! Automatic grouping of your photos. I can hardly wait too until the final version of iO7 in the Fall.

    Thought 1:
    Wow... this looks similar to APEX.  I wonder if we could get some of the Region Plugins?
    Thought 2:
    Looking for the 'forum' I'm interested in seems harder than it should be.
    My current process:
    browse -> places
    click on "spaces"
    hope somebody in the group you're interested has posted
    if yes, goto step 8 (click on that link)
    if no, continue
    click on the 'super group' (eg "Oracle Database")
    spend 5 min hunting the desired forum [1][2]
    click on that link
    click on content [3][4]
    look at threads
    [1] a simple "order by upper()" would shorten the time to find it
    [2] sometimes I'm just "browsing the forums" and looking around at what is available.
    [3] Too much content in "Overview".  I don't want to see any snippets of the most recent posts.
    However, if there was a way to show/hide the snippets (with HIDE as default) that would be better.
    [4] Due to the speed at which things change (especially irrelevant, not CURRENTLY interested topics), the Report with 'snippets' are like a mailbox full of SPAM.
    Thought 3:
    I'm making a post...now, how do I make the example CODE look clean when viewed?
    Is it possible to add a magic button that will "Format and color PL/SQL" selected code?
    (and can that be an Plugin for APEX?)

    This isn't APEX. It is still Jive, but a newer version. Regarding code, you can in the advanced editor. Click the advanced editor link in the standard editor, then select your code and choose the double arrows -> Syntax Highlighting.
    The code tags are apparently no longer necessary. (Which I personally welcome).

  • Downloaded new ios7 and new itunes 11.1 and now iphone 4 won't finish syncing - just stays on last step and never finishes or cancels on its own. Tried reinstalling itunes with no success.

    Downloaded new ios7 and new itunes 11.1 and now iphone 4 won't finish syncing - just stays on last step and never finishes or cancels on its own. Tried reinstalling itunes with no success.

    I have the same problem.. latest version of iTunes (11.1.5) and latest version of ios (7.1) but it gets stuck at "waiting for changes to be applied" and I can't cancel the sync manually. It doesn't cancel on it's own either (at least not the 8 hours over night that it was syncing) and if I unmount the phone then the phone keeps the sync going (the little spinning arrows in the upper left corner) and doesn't recognize that it's been disconnected..
    I've tried restoring the phone (with little success, managed to get one more song on there) and syncing over wi-fi but nothing seems to work. Any thoughts, anyone?

  • @ Microsoft WPC "Soon you will see premium new Lumias designed for Windows 10″

    This was something interesting that came out of Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference today, straight from the lips of Terry Myerson, the Executive VP of the Windows and Devices Group. 
    He also was quoted as saying "Last week we announced a focusing on our Lumia lineup..." Again, further proof that Microsoft is not abandoning Windows Phone or Windows 10 Mobile.

  • Just when I thought I new how progressive and interlaced are working....

    Hey everyone.
    I thought I new the difference between progressive and interlaced but I've still got a few questions. For the most part... i get it. Progressive is like 1 solid picture. Interlaced breaks up the picture into interlaced lines and 2 fields, odd and even . Great, that much I've got.
    Here's my issues.
    This is actually a compressor question but it starts off with Final Cut.
    I shot some footage on Mini DV NTSC 29.97 interlaced.
    When I edit it in Final Cut things look pretty good. I see a little interlacing in the preview window but that's ok, it's the preview window. I know there is a filter to de-interlace my footage but what is the option in my sequence settings of Field Dominance? There is an option of field Dominance- Lower, even and None. Lower and even I assume deal with interlacing fields. I assumed none meant progressive. What's the point of needing a filter if I can change the field dominance within my sequence settings? Does it do the same thing?
    If I export this footage to compressor I use the H.264 codec from inside compressor.
    I noticed that I can turn the Frame Controls tab of my setting on. I then have access to the resizing controls. Resize Filter... not sure what that is. Then Output fields. I change that to progressive. Which I assume deinterlaced everything... but then there is another option right below that to Deinterlace....? Didn't I just do that by saying their are no fields? On a final note after it exports and I go to look at the .mov... the footage is still interlaced.
    One last thing with compressor. The above issues are all part of my setting inside of the inspector for the actual "codec" i have attached to the project. If I mouse click on the project itself... not the settings of the codec but the project itself, the information inside my inspector window changes. Now instead of Codec Settings I have A/V Attributes... there is an option there for Native Field Dominance? Which one do I change? How many field dominances are there? I have 1 in Final Cut another 1 in my AV Attributes of my project in compressor and a 3rd on in the codec settings.
    I hope these questions make sense. They are confusing issues to me so I'm not quite sure how to ask them.
    Thanks a lot.

    It's not surprising that you're confused. It's a pretty confusing subject. Hopefully, I can help you get some sense out of it.
    Most of your questions stem from not quite understanding the definitions of "deinterlacing", "progressive frame rate", and "field dominance". Let's start with the last since it pertains to your first question.
    When you have interlaced footage, you have 2 fields (as you noted) per frame. One field is drawn on the Odd (or Upper) scan lines of the TV. 1,3,5,7...down to 479. The other field takes the Even (or Lower) scan lines: 2,4,6,8...480. Together they are woven into a single frame.
    The field dominance in your sequence settings determines which field is drawn first. DV and NTSC in general is Lower field dominant and if your footage is DV, you should not change this. Interlaced HD is typically Upper field dominant. Again, under most circumstances, this should not be changed. What will likely occur is a "tearing" of the image in movement, particularly noticed in pans or fast action. None draws each line successively which is how progressive footage needs to be interpreted.
    However, progressive does NOT mean deinterlaced. Nor does deinterlaced mean progressive. If you use the deinterlace filter in FCP on your DV footage, you merely remove one field from your footage and REPLACE it with a copy of the field you kept. In other words, if you set the deinterlace for Upper, then the clip will copy the image in the Lower field and paste it into the Upper field. The footage will still be interlaced.
    In Compressor, changing the Output to Progressive in the frame controls will make your interlaced footage progressive. This should always be done when the final viewing medium is a computer. You see, computer monitors always display thing progressively; they have trouble with interlacing frames. They are not built like TVs. If going to TV, then you want to keep it interlaced (unless you're going for the progressive look), as that is how standard def TVs are designed to view video.
    The deinterlace option in Compressor is the same as the filter in FCP, but as you know now, that's not the same thing as making a file progressive.
    Finally, the AV settings for the clip you placed in Compressor are the same as the sequence settings in FCP. They help the program determine how the file should be displayed. If you have DV footage, and you switch the dominance in that setting or in FCP, then you risk having your footage look jittery and generally no good.
    I hope this clears things up for you a bit.

  • Please help me transfer purchased apps from my current ios6 to new ios7 program.

    Please help me transfer purchased apps from my current ios6 to new ios7 program.

    There is no need to transfer anything.
    Update the device via iTunes or Over the Air... no content on the device should be affected.
    If the device is used as designed and regularly backed up to iCloud or iTunes on the computer, should anything go wrong it can be restored.

  • How do companies handle Apple IDs with the new iOS7 features?

    My company has a number of iOS devices that it has purchased for employees to use.  Traditionally we have let employees use their personal Apple IDs on their company phones/tablets so they can have access to their personal purchases, etc.  It is not really feasible for us to force employees to use a corporate Apple ID as that would prevent them from accessing their personal content and there would be a revolt if we tried to implement that policy.
    Now that the new iOS7 and Find my iPhone enhancements prevent you from restoring an iOS device to factory defaults without the associated Apple ID credentials, what is the recommended path for businesses to take if they are not large enough to warranty an MDM solution?  If an employee leaves the company and turns in an iOS device that is password protected, how can the company restore it if they don't have the employee's Apple ID?  Normally this is not a problem, but occassionally an employee leaves on bad terms and won't cooperate.
    Is there a way to register a device to a corporate Apple ID, or otherwise "flag" the device as a corporate-owned device so the corporate Apple ID can restore the device to defaults while still allowing the employee to use their personal Apple ID on the device?

  • HT4623 How do I update my iphone 5 to the new ios7 software using itunes on my computer?

    How do I update my iphone 5 to the new ios7 software using itunes on my computer?

    Just for clarity, do you have iTunes 11.1 now on your computer?  If yes, when you connect your iPhone via your USB / Lightning cable is your iTunes opening with a small box near the top right of screen that shows your iPhone connected?  If yes then you can click through the various views of your iPhones content areas, such as Music, Photos, etc.  You will eventually get to a screen that is Status.  On that screen you should see the iOS Update option. 

  • Is there any way I can get back to ios6 on my iPad? The new ios7 is a major disappointment, especially visually, and would love to "downgrade" back to ios6. Any advice how to do this?

    Is there any way to downgrade back to ios6 from the new ios7? I made a major mistake in downloading the new operating system. It is a major disappointment, particularly visually, and would love to get back to the more user friendly ios6 on my iPad. Last time I experienced a similar disappointment was when I tested the new Microsoft 8. In that case I was luckily able to stick to the previous operating system.

    Thanks. Pitty, seems like Apple suddenly created more competition for itself. The edge is gone and Apple is also now into "art for art's sake".

  • I can't delete my photos in the new iOS7 photo app.

    Hi,
    I can't delete my photos in the new iOS7 photo app. I tried shutting the app down and opening it again, but it doesn't help. What should I do?
    Thanks

    I had this problem to but I figured it out. Basically the photos are there because your photos on your computer are synced into your phone differently, not sure how it works. But plug in your phone to your computer, open itunes, click on your phone, go to photos and uncheck the "Sync Photos from:" Option at the top. A message should pop up asking whether you want to keep or remove the photos already on your phone. Click remove, and there you go
