Too many unnecessary bells and whistles in apps!
There seems to be too many bells and whistles built into the apps! I have iPad 2, it can take up to 5 minutes for the app to settle down and let me access or read something from Safari! Just when you think everything has been installed, the picture freezes and re arranges itself! Why can't we make this more simpler? I find it frustrating and become angry with all the wasted time and energy taken because someone wanted to build into the app one more "cool" activity or action! It just slows everything down, less actions are more accommodatin! If you want to build "the" app with so much unnecessary activity! Set it up as stand alone, or different app! I'm getting tired of always having to wait because some extra add on has to be installed .... Simplicity!!!!
Let me put this in another light. When you choose to visit say "Huffington Post" internet website, on my iPad, because text boxs, title boxes, picture/video files are embedded, advertising too, all with differing sizes, let alone fonts and "all the bells and whistles" not only fight for space onmy page but the more detail the box the more memory .......... . My point is, as a consumer can a version be made that the text and any relevant material can be quickly adjusted to say tilting my iPad. And do so without wainting for ever for the boxs to find their territory and load their memory! If you have a slow connection some sites take longer to load and use, then other less "gimmicky" sites

Google App Easter Egg - "Bells and Whistles"
I was posting something on Apple's Discussions about the change in the Google Mobile App - a poster was lamenting the change to the mobile-optimized format. I like the classic view better, was searching for a way to change it to that in the Settings during a football game... My point follows.
I was in the app's Settings screen, fiddling with it by scrolling up and down a bit during the review and not looking at the screen - nervous habit, I guess...
After the TD, I stopped fidgeting and looked back at the Settings screen, and there's a new menu at the bottom of the screen I swear wasn't there before called "Bells and Whistles". There's four new settings, following with an appropriate descriptions.
* Theme Color.
* Sounds. Default, Chicken, Monkey.
* Live Waveform. While using the voice search, the waveform matches the intonation of the sound.
* Open Link in App. I like this one - linked results in the app don't launch the Safari browser and lose your search results; and a new navigational bar appears at the bottom of the app.
Don't shoot the messenger. A buddy watching the game didn't have the extra settings, but just kept scrolling down for a few minutes and the extra settings just showed up and stuck after that.Great find. It is strange the way you get Bells and Whistles. Without the instructions in this post, I never would have found it. Just wait on the Settings screen on the app, and keep swiping, and all of a sudden, the words Bells and Whistles show up. You hear either the monkey or the chicken sound, depending on which you select, instead of the Default sound, after you do a voice search. The "trick" is that after you say your search words, keep the phone near your ear, and you hear these silly sounds. It is fun.

CS3 is just Bells and whistles

Postscript errors :-)You should go to Adobe's forum for Illustrator and tell them
what you would like to see in the next version of Illustrator. They
are going to listen to some of our requests...maybe even multiple
pages!
I think FreeHand users now have to give Illustrator a chance.
After using it, give the feedback to Adobe. You should voice what
would make Illustrator easier, explain why the search & Replace
or multiple pages would be good in Illustrator. I'm sure the
exisiting Illustrator users would find some FreeHand features very
useful! I think that FreeHand is not dead...many of the best
features of FH will no doubt show up in the next version of
Illustrator. It will most likely be a combination of the best of
Illustrator/FreeHand, but will still be called Illustrator. -

I have updated my phone to 4.3.3 and I was told there would be more bells and whistles. I haven't found more texting sounds. Have I updated my phone wrong or just not completed it all the way? Please help me. Still trying to figure this iphone 3G out.
You have the iPhone 3GS, not the 3G. The last update to support the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1.
iOS 4.3.3 includes bug fixes etc. There is nothing really special about this update that wasn't introduced in iOS 4.3. iOS 5 is the one to wait for - it will be released in the Autumn/Fall and includes over '200' new features/improvements.
The additional text tines and ringtones were an iPhone 4-only feature. -
Just upgraded and iPhoto said it has to upgrade library but keeps freezing. Have tried it too many times now and I need those photos ASAP HELP!!
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Sync fails in iTunes 9.0 & 9.01: "too many files open" and error -6999
I've been trying to synch my iPod (Touch, g1) for the last couple weeks but have been getting errors ever since going to iTunes 9.0.
First it blew my library and now says "Previous iTunes Libraries" at the top. Can live with that (after going through and reloading about 2/3s of the album artwork).
But now am getting two errors every time I try to sync. One is, "Attempting to copy to the disk '[my iPod's name]' failed. There are too many files open currently."
Elsewhere I saw it suggested for this error that I turn off sharing, but, alas, sharing isn't turned on.
The second error message is, "The iPod '[my iPod's name]' cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-6999)." and I can't find any mention by Apple about what to do about this.
HELP. Please.There has been some advice to turn off "sharing" to stop getting the "too many files open" error message, but, as noted in my question, sharing was already turned off in the iTunes Preferences.
But, it turns out, of course, that there is another kind of sharing in the 9.x iTunes -- the one for sharing libraries on your local network. Don't know why they are different because the function seems the same, but I noticed that there was still an icon for "home sharing" or "house sharing" (little picture of a house) on the library/playlist list in iTunes.
I right clicked on the house icon and found another checkbox switch there. I turned that one off too (Why Apple?) and, voila, the "too many files" error has (apparently) gone away.
Hope this helps some others out there.
Apparently you have to turn off sharing in two different places. (Again; why is that, Apple?) -
Too many database connections and configurator logins ?
Hi,
We're having some performance and/or stability problem with Oracle Waveset 8.1.1. patch 2.
I'm not sure what the problems is yet, but two facts got my attention:
I noticed for too many database connections waiting to be closed on the OS, varying between 600 and 1200 :
TCP: IPv4
Local Address Remote Address Swind Send-Q Rwind Recv-Q State
doesburg.ic.uva.nl.33555 hopewell.ic.uva.nl.1539 49640 0 49640 0 TIME_WAIT
doesburg.ic.uva.nl.33556 hopewell.ic.uva.nl.1539 49640 0 49640 0 TIME_WAIT
doesburg.ic.uva.nl.33557 hopewell.ic.uva.nl.1539 49640 0 49640 0 TIME_WAIT
doesburg.ic.uva.nl.33558 hopewell.ic.uva.nl.1539 49640 0 49640 0 TIME_WAIT
etc.
(doesburg is our Solaris 10 server where the tomcat application server is installed, hopewell is our Oracle 10g database server )
I also noticed numerous Configurator logins in the audit log, about 10 per second:
Audit Event Details

Configurator logins on the BPE interface which we don't use?
Has anyone seen something like this before? What could cause it?

Outline stroke giving too many unnecessary points.
how will I'm going to deal with this? when I converting into this, it give too many points even it looks like it can can just a 2 to 4 points. Any plugin that I may use while still maintaining its shape? and btw i'm on PC not Mac. Simplify and Cleanup didn't work.
Expanding paths will very often still result in a tremendous point count. I have been trying to figure out the reason for it but this is not very easy.
Here is a screenshot after expanding an envelope containing elements that are basically just circles and merged circles. The result is absolutely unusable. Can't work with it. Simplifying the path gives a little relief but frankly, it's a far cry from the old days.
I have been using Illustrator since version 3. No, not CS3, version 3. That's right, the late nineties...
Now frankly, the expanded result on the right is something Adobe really should pay attention to. This does not only happen with envelopes, mind you. -
Can HTML Help render a flash file with all bells and whistles?
I use Captivate to generate a .swf file, and inserted that .swf into my RH8 project and generated HTML Help.
When I look at the .CHM file, the flash plays, but not ideally.
a) It plays immediately when the topic is opened, and there's no way to re-start it except to close and re-open the topic.
b) There are no stop/start/pause buttons on the flash video. Could I have added those in Captivate?
Is the .CHM-player capable of flash videos with controls?
What did I miss?
Thx.Hi Bruce
Ugh, from what you are describing, you are going at things all perfectly from the "Adobe approved and recommended" way of operating, but it's a method I don't personally use or recommend. Please tell me if I'm right with my assumption here.
I'm assuming (based on what you have stated) that you didn't launch Captivate separately, create the demo and publish it, then close Captivate and open RoboHelp HTML and insert what Captivate created. I'm guessing you used the wonderful (cough) integration that exists where you are in the middle of a topic and BAM! It suddenly hits you that a Captivate demo would be PERFECT here. So you cease your chain of thought while editing the topic and from inside RoboHelp you click File > New > Captivate demo and RoboHelp magickally opens Captivate to record the demo. You finish and close and the demo magickally appears inside RoboHelp.
Did I guess right?
Assuming I did, your case is precisely why I avoid working that way and why I don't recommend it. When you work this way you give up control of many Captivate capabilities and you enter into a realm of frustration.
I recommend using Captivate as the separate application it is. Open it separately. Record and create the Captivate parts separately. Then bring it into RoboHelp once it's reached prime time.
Please advise and we will proceed accordingly with getting you squared.
Cheers... Rick

By the way your link for warranty do not work on your website....???
Should I return it to Bell for General Failure ?Unfortunately, I'm in the same club, and also seeking a solution to the problem. I have approx 8000 songs and my ipod is a 3 mo. old 80 GB. I think I'm stuck working this out with Apple directly, which I'm dreading..and I'll be damned if I'm paying shipping charges for an IPOD that BEST BUY can't exchange beyond the 30 days post purchase, and can't do any more due to Apple's mandated service process. If a prompt resoluiotion with no further cost me is unavailable, I'd sooner throw the Ipod in the garbage, cancel my plans to by the Iphone, and live my life Apple free. Steven Jobs may know innovation and technology, but his knowledge of customer service could be his undoing one day.

I joined the cloud, but did not see any of the new bells and whistles in photoshop CS6
I joined the cloud today and was looking forward to the new stuff in photoshop. I currently own CS6 stand alone. I opened an image and none of the new options(advanced sharpening, bridge as a filter, etc) were there. I did click update when on the photoshop CS6 app when I downloaded a couple of the new apps. What should I do to get a version of CS6 that has all of the advancements???
I have it solved. I know about the update for Lightroom in June, but the cloud version of photoshop has plenty of new features and "bells & whistles". I had a plain vanilla photoshop CS6 that I purchased a year ago. I updated to the cloud yesterday and the only action available for Photoshop was update. I did & it was the same old plain vanilla... no 3D( I didn't have extended), liquify and blur gallery could not be used with smart filters, etc., etc. I was supposed to get that with the cloud. I figured it out during a restless night. I uninstalled CS6, opened the application manager and reinstalled the CS6. Then I went into the help menu of the new extended version(3d now) and updated. I now have all of the new features and "bells & whistles" I was supposed to get when upgrading to the cloud. I am sure there are others in the same boat or will be soon. Adobe should see about correcting this in some way. Complete upgraded version should be available after one pushes the upgrade, even if they have a lesser version(non-extended) available.
