Totally disappointed with Z10
Dear RIM, unfortunately with the release of your new Blackberry Device (Z10) I noticed that you are not trying to satisfy your huge amount of customers, you are just trying to challenge other brands such as IPhone and Samsung, which is totally wrong because you are different, you were absolutely made for business and professionals, while the above mentioned brands were made for all ages.
The way you are trying to enhance your product is completely wrong because you have made your device similar to others, which made you miss lots of feature that people were buying your device for.
Your device used to be a great communication method, poor multimedia device, now became the opposite
I am a blackberry fan user, I have started using your products in 2009, started with Blackberry bold 9000, and end up with 9810 os7.1. One month ago, I purchased the Z10, and I just started using it yesterday because I was scare to be disappointed, where after using your device for almost 30 hours I found the below
External and hardware
1- The device does not have Menu button
2- No Telephone buttons (answer and ignore)
3- No back button
4- No Optical trackpad
5- No Silence button
6- No Convenience Key
7- Battery Life
Internal and OS level
1- Not easy to go to the home screen, I have to swipe, while before I just press the Ignore button
2- Does not have notification bar
3- No Alert profiles/customer Alert profiles (very important)
4- No alerts for specific apps
5- No alerts for multiple email accounts
6- No easy access to Mobile network (3G/2G), wireless, Bluetooth and Hotspot
7- No menu option in the applications panel
Cut
Paste
Copy
Move
Favorite
Hide
Settings
Options
8- No email icons, I have always to brows up to the hub
9- No ability to show some special characters and Arabic letters
10- No option to have different vibrates for apps or alerts
11- You could not create a proper integration environment between your old devices and Z10
12- No copy and paste on the phone dia.
13- Call logs cannot be collapse except within the same period of time
14- Network coverage is low
15- Calls functionality is bad (No redial if the call cannot be proceed)
16- No delivery report after sending a text massage
17- Device will be security locked even during calls
18- Bit hard to switch language typing
19- Alerts and ring tones are too low and there is no much available
20- Ability to send PIN messages
Applications (Blackberry Messenger)
1- Cannot Collapse the categories or hide the contacts under the categories
2- No confirmation alert or discard when modifying profiles or refresh to original (Either own or contact)
3- Cannot add my PIN for testing purposes
4- No select all when broadcasting a massage
5- Copy a massage and past, will result in pasting the massage with the sender name
6- Not showing special characters in contacts names
7- No zoom out when adding display picture
8- Cannot send a picture that was taken be screen capture except through the gallery media
Please note all the above features used to be in the old OS versions, and I am not asking you for something new.
Three of my friends have already switched back to their old devices, and today after I submit this
Please RIM if you cannot add the above features, just produce new products similar to 9810,9900
finally excuse my english
I totally disagree. As with anything new there is a steep learning curve. For the consumer, and for the company. Obviously BB is willing to listen to the consumer and add features with updates. Together we can develop this to be an even better device then it already is. I think the New Z10 is fantastic and can hardly wait for the Q10 to come out (most of my friend's are waiting for it). I was also waiting for the Q10 but decided to take the plunge and act on the Z10. Am I ever happy I did. Keep up the good work guys. I look forward to all the new updates. And for bigger and better things to come.

I am totally disappointed with iTunes Match.
I have been informed that I am totally disappointed with the operation of iTunesMatch. I use almost all Apple products and never had as many problems as I havewith iTunes Match.
On my iPhone EVERY time I'll use the iPod.app almost no album covers, andALWAYS have to load them again. Even spending data to get the covers, arescattered in several songs from the album without cover.
Another problem I'm having is that whenever you post a song to play the iPhoneiPod.app need to access the internet again I do not know what! So if the Internet is slow iPhone Do not start playing, it takes several seconds to start playing a song that's on the iPhone. Before the iPod did not have to play the songs using the cloud, right now the music being on the iPhone it needs to access the internet forfree to start playing. This is absurd!
Another thing that is happening because of this crap Match iTunes is that I can no longer hear the shuffle all songs that are on my iPhone! If I send random playmode, the iPod.app picks the songs that are in the cloud and starts playing, but immediately stop playing because you have to do is download the music. It wasimpossible to use the iPod.app to hear music. Or is everything on the iPhone and listen to those problems mentioned above or you do not hear and is waiting to download music that I do not want to hear, because the random songs that are putin iCloud from the list.
I am totally disappointed with the service of garbage that Apple released.ITines Match is a pile of useless rubbish. It crashes constantly, fails to complete tasks, goes back to square one, freezes computers and utterly fails to work. Piece of sh1t Apple!

If the data network is not available for some time, to get it again we need to restart the phone instead it is not finding the data network instantly. why cant the iphone searches data net work offten if not available. i am totally disappointed with this!
Still it could not find the data network.it searches for voice network instantly and works too. but even full voice network available, there is no data network.when i restart the phone it could find data network.
Already i reset network settings for two times. -
Im totally disappointed with apple i want my money back
hi
this morning i had a fight with apple suport, i just bought this macbook 2 months ago, and now its dead, and they told me to take my laptop to an apple store and somebody will repair my macbook in there, but im real far away from the nearest apple store and i cant take my macbook to that place, so i request if somebody can come to my place and pick my laptop but neither the apple support or the apple store cant pick it up, because "they dont have that service they cant come to my adress and pick my laptop" now the only thing i have to do is sit and wait until that service its availabe
i really cant go there cause i work and study and i practicaly dont have time to that place.
im totally disappointed with the service and with the computers, i never thought the hardware would be so s hi ittyYou must have got someone new at support. I called on a Friday with an issue, FedEx was here on Monday morning with a box to send the unit back in for service and on Wednesday morning it was back to me all repaired--at no cost, I might add. Just call back or use the online Express Lane support.

Totally disappointed with Verizon Services. Need Action!
I have spent numerous hours on hold for 4 days and was given the runaround by both Technical and Billings Department. I was charged TWICE for a PPV that I never get a chance to watch. I ordered the PPV fight of Mayweather Vs Ortiz the day before the showing. When i tune in to the PPV channel it says that the fight already started and I can no longer order it. As a big boxing fan, I was very upset and got on the phone right away. After almost an hour of waiting, I finally got a hold of somebody from the technical department just to be told that she couldn't help me and that I needed to talk to customer service. I was upset that I waited too long just to be told that the technical department couldn't help me. When she transferred me to customer service it just gave me a voice prompt that they are now close. I called the next day (Sept 18) to talk to a customer service (Valerie) and she said not to worry coz there was nothing that was charged on my account. I wanted to make sure since I will be very upset if after I waited for the show and it would just tell me that "I can no longer order the fight since it has already started." Valerie confirmed with me that there were no charges.
Still worried I checked again after 2 days and spoke to CS Aneshia and told me the same thing that there were no charges. I told her to make sure that everything was notated, she confirmed that she did. A month later 2 PPV Charges showed up in my invoice. I immediately called and patiently waited and got hold of billings (Daphne Garcia). I explained to her why I was trying to dispute after which she says that she can only take off one of the charges from the PPV. I requested for the supervisor and waited for another 30 minutes and nobody picked up the phone and got disconnected. I called again and spoke to a gentleman and told me the same thing that he can only take off one charge but he understand my point and that he will put me on hold for a supervisor. This time I waited for 45 minutes and got tired of waiting.
I am fairly new with verizon Fios services and am really unhappy with the services especially the people that are supposed to help you out with issues like this. I wouldn't bother to spend so many hours and days just to get frustrated for some type injustice that I'm trying to dispute. You guys are telling me that there were no notes from the technical dept that was recorded and it becomes my fault! I repeatedly told those agents that I CALLED ON the 17th of Sep and yes it the same night where I supposed to watch the fight. I never have this problem with TIME Warner and I had them for 5 1/2 years.
I have been trying to get my last bill corrected. I need those 2 PPV charges remove. I requested for a supervisor to give me a call but I never got it. Please have a supervisor, manager provide action into this matter as soon as possible. Please looked into this. I am tired and just totally disappointed. My account number is {edited for privacy}
Mr. B.I've already posted my account number in my post and therefore you guys should be able to track what my phone number is. What I need is for a supervisor or a manager to take a look into the issue. I've dealt with 5 agents and none of them really provided a solution. I am looking forward for someone to professionally looked into this and provide a solution.

Total Frustration With Adobe Support!
Just a rant about current practices at Adobe......
Adobe's new flagship Photoshop CS4 Extended is hyped as the "Cat's Meow" of photo editing and graphics software. It has some of the most advanced features available including 3D, hardware rendering, advanced stacking, HDR, etc., etc., etc. It actually may be the most fantastic editing software anywhere! But, you can't prove it by me.... Not yet, and maybe not ever....
I can't install it! I have attempted to put it on two of my systems. One a Dell, the other a Gateway. Each has Win XP Home edition. After over six hours of install, uninstall, upgrade video drivers, download 814 megabyte files "twice," install Windows Service Pack 3, etc., etc., I finally called Adobe Support only to be totally disappointed with the non-support.
First, I am subjected to a lengthy wait listening to loud, bad, music loops. Next I'm connected to a "support" person, apparently in India or Pakistan with an accent making it very difficult to understand his "English." He wasn't at all interested in learning about "where" the installation had failed, but just wanted to shovel me off to download a "Windows Cleaner" and "CS4 Cleanup Script." He informed me that I may have to uninstall "ALL ADOBE PRODUCTS" before installing the CS4 Extended Trial.
Now the above statement is just plain stupid, especially from an Adobe representative! Try Adobe Flash, Photoshop versions 5, 7 and CS each complete with dozens of plug-ins, hundreds of actions, specialized settings, etc. How about Adobe Frame Maker with hundreds of projects, Adobe Quick Time, Adobe Encore, Adobe Premier, etc., etc., all with myriad data, plugins, etc. We're talking weeks of reinstall or a complete reinstall of the disk which would, of course, wipe out CS4 EXtended (if it were ever installed - LOL).
So after once again uninstalling the remnants of CS4, installing and running the Win cleanup and CS4 cleanup and reinstall of CS4 Extended - guess what? Yep, failed at exactly the same point - the installation of "Adobe Media Player."
I've wasted two days on simply trying to evaluate CS4 Extended. I've installed a service pack I didn't want or need. I've completely lost Flash thanks to the CS4 Cleanup script and still have no CS4 trial installation. I'm writing this while again listening to bad, loud music loops (for the past 45 minutes).
Listen up Adobe - I've spend many, many thousands of dollars with your company and deserve better treatment. Will I purchase CS4 Extended? It's not likely and becoming less likely with every bar of bad, loud, music loop. Do you actually want to sell your products? Then get some knowledgeable technical support people who can help sort out issues like this and make them available. Don't have some 1st level "support" dweeb who speaks the native language of the country where the support is to be given with an accent so strong that it's impossible for a native speaker to understand. Don't have someone who insults the intelligence of the potential customer with silly statements. In addition to the statement about possibly removing "all Adobe" software before the install, he make the mistake of telling me that this was only "Trial Software" an therefore not necessarily a "stable" and trouble free version. I had to remind him that Adobe states that you simply pay for then receive the unlock code and this "unstable" trial version becomes the "real" and "very expensive" CS4 release version! Give me a break already!!
End rant..... Beware. If you order CS4 maybe you should download the trial version first and be certain it will install and run on your system. I hope you have better luck than I've had.
Best regars,

[email protected]Hi Marian,
Assuming Adobe actually "reads" the forum, I believe that my statement
was appropriate since there are few, if any, other viable ways of
actually getting the message to them. "Support" is terrible unless one
can get to second tier and that's only available usually "after" you
have spent your money and discovered the issues. It certainly has not
"always" been like this. In the old days one actually could speak with a
"technical" support person and didn't have to jump through the hoops
with inexperienced first tier people who know just enough to be
dangerous! Of course it's more difficult in trying economic times and
taking support off-shore is common to a huge number of U.S. companies
with varying degrees of success. I'm certain that many simple question
could be answered in such a fashion, but not all and though forums like
this are very helpful, users also frequently do not have all the
information necessary to help resolve technical issues.
It is indeed the "trial version" which I downloaded (twice) and with
which I'm having the problems. The solution offered on this forum did
indeed get CS4 Extended on my system. Unfortunately, without the Adobe
Media Player which may, or may not be of significant importance which is
yet to be determined.
Yes, I'm a user of "many" Adobe Products since there has been an Adobe
company, and a user of Photoshop since the first release. My sole
purpose for CS4 Extended is for the 3D output. Otherwise CS works just
fine. I'm not really influenced by marketing, only interested in the 3D
output to video. I write tutorials and templates, for a presentation
slideshow software with which I prepare image "objects" by using chroma
key software to create individual frames from video and animate as still
objects. Having a way to easily output cubes, cones, or other 3D
objects, etc., with chroma key green or blue backdrops is important to
me. CS4 Extended has this feature which I need, and I don't know of
other software presently available and which will fit into my workflow.
Photoshop CS works fine for the majority of my photo and graphic
manipulation, but it doesn't have this new and useful feature which I need.
I'm not upset with Adobe marketing - they actually pretty much advertise
truthfully in this case. Nothing which I've heard or seen from Marketing
at Adobe has really stretched the truth beyond credibility. I am upset
with Adobe's support service. It's gotten progressively worse over the
years and the arrogance has multiplied. There's an old saying which
somehow rings true here: you get what you pay for. One good technical
support person is worth half a dozen of what I'm seeing off-shore. They
are underpaid, inexperienced and generally (in my experience) short and
arrogant with potential customers. This isn't good for business. CS4
Extended is a comparatively expensive investment and Adobe should go
out of their way to help facilitate the installation and use of their
trial versions. After all, that's what will eventually convince the
majority of people to buy or not.
Best regards,

Really disappointed with the Macbook pro
Hi all,
I purchased a Macbook pro in the middle of January 2011 with some inheritance money. I went for the cheapest one - was going to go for the white macbook like my partner but thought it would be worth the extra money to upgrade to the pro. It was the first time i had made the move from PC to Mac, but was fairly familiar with the systems having owned an ipod touch for a while and my partner also having a macbook.
4 months on...and i have to say I am really really disappointed with my Macbook pro and certainly not worth over £1000 i paid for it. This is mainly because:
i find that after a while of watching movies (15 - 20 mins), the video starts to "stutter" and the mouse jumps when i try to move it. I thought this was only the case on flash-based websites (like Youtube - although there is no problem on my partners basic macbook) so installed click2flash. I have since come to realise that it also happens whilst watching DVDs etc. I also thought it may be when the battery is low, but it happens even when it is plugged in. I cant understand how it happens on mine but not my partners even though my Pro is supposed to be a high spec (isnt it???)
I use Garageband and often record myself by mic input over the top of backing tracks that i import into the program. I have to record with no effects on my voice to begin with whatsoever , nor the backing track, and have to minimise the garageband window to the dock as when it is open and scrolling, i get the "Part of the project was not played. This project has too many tracks, effects, or notes to be played in real-time." error.
The other day, i noticed my macbook pro would not burn CD-Rs (both music Cds and MP3s) and later realised that i could burn anything up to 6 or so tracks (about 20-25 minutes worth of audio). After trawling the forums, trying slower burn speeds, different brands of CD-R and lens cleaning cds (which froze in my macbook) I still have a faulty disc drive. I have now discovered that the end tracks of some audio cds i have will not play so is obviously something wrong with the drive.
I'm very frustrated and can't help but wonder if maybe i should have just got a £500 windows laptop instead!
Any help and feedback would be much appreciated. Are Apple Support good at dealing with stuff like this? Am i best calling and discussing over the phone or taking it in to a Genius bar? I have also ran all the latest software updates.
Thanks!
Tom

<Edited by Host>>the video starts to "stutter" and the mouse jumps when i try to move it.
That's the fault of the video format you are viewing. It probably caches itself to the hard disk, and the sudden motion sensor gets triggered by the hard drive, if you give it any innertia. You could create a RAM Disk with any of a number of solutions you can Google.
And DVD drives don't like being bounced around. See what I have to say about CD failure below too. Anything can cause a disc to get unbalanced, and not play back right. I would not attempt to play DVDs while the machine is in motion, as you can damage the DVD drive of any machine that is.
Garageband has its own forum here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/garageband where someone can tell you if there is a setting you missed to improve the recordings.
CD Burning is a menace throughout the industry because a lot of media is not very high quality. See my FAQ*:

Disappointed with product introduction
I am new to FrameMaker. Based on its popularity and others' comments, I'm sure it is a fascinating, feature-packed program that can do a lot for me in my technical writing. However, I am disappointed with Adobe's lack of introduction to the product. Any product should come with material that tells me what is special about it and who is meant to use it. It should also have sample work to show what can be done with the product. Instead, Adobe begins with a Getting Started with FrameMaker that introduces the user interface and screen basics, which are not yet of concern at this introductory stage. Note also that there is a section called "What's new in FrameMaker 9", clearly oriented to past users, but totally ignoring the need of new users to learn about the essence of FrameMaker.
I hope the folks at Adobe are listening and will provide some introductory material. I would be most thankful for it.hmm63 wrote:

I agree that it's hard to find good getting started training materials in the FrameMaker package that you buy. Some versions of FrameMaker were shipped with a training disk, or with training materials on the main disk. I'm not sure if recent versions do.
Recently some Adobe products have come with a 30-day free subscription to Lynda.com online training. Sometimes there's something in the package that tells you about these goodies, and other times you'll get email that tells you about them. You probably have to register your software at Adobe.com. You'll need to create an Adobe user account (free) if you don't have one. The adobe.com site isn't easy to find your way around. On the home page, type register in the search box at the top right, click Product Registration, and the registration log-in page appears. You can create an account if you need to.
Search Google for terms like "adobe.tv framemaker tutorial," "free online video training framemaker," and "framemaker training resources" without quotes for some good links. These searches include content from the official adobe.com site as well as others.
Forum participants are users who volunteer to help others in the community, as they've been helped - passing a torch. You're always welcome to post questions here. It's most helpful to would-be helpers if you state the subject of your question clearly, one question or problem per message thread. And, provide your exact version of FrameMaker; it's the version number (like 9.1) and the build number (pxxx) displayed with Help > About FrameMaker.
And, you can help others who struggle to find good introductory material in the package by posting a formal request at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.

Disappointed with Nokia N8 and Belle
I have been using Nokia phones since 2000 and I was recommending it to all my friends. The last one I bought- Nokia N8 has disappointed me.
The big + is the integrated GPS and offline maps. Excellent camera...
Why disappointed:
Price I paid- $ 450+.
Since May 2011:
A big grayish spot appeared on the display after 2 weeks. Visible only when the phone is off.It does not bother me but still this phone is $450.... Now I can not cell it.
USB port broke after 2-3 months. Replaced- 3 days at Nokia Care point in NYC.
Integrated GPS stopped working after Anna update- 3 daysX 2- 3 hours online chat with Nokia Care and 10 days repair. The internal part of the phone was replaced. The display is still the same.
Belle- improved Anna, but..
Battery life has been enormously reduced. Practically if you want long battery life- turn the phone off.
Power savings mode option has moved to the hard button on the top. Difficult to access because of the protector.
Google Maps is not working. (Nokia maps is OK but GM has easy access to public transit directions and has more business location info) Now Nokia Public Transit app is a step forward, but its still separate app.
Many Apps are not compatible.
No short cut for positioning method directly from maps/ driving. You have to dig thru the phone's settings.
Anna's clock small widget with date is no more available.
No shortcut to the specific mailbox.
Text messaging is confusing.
Data log history is unavailable.
No "vibration only" profile allowed when the phone is on power savings mode.
Anna and Symb had an option to choose when and how to connect a single application to the internet. (internet- always ask) Now with Belle its more complicated.
No shortcuts to various settings- dig, dig, digg....
Quick Office Pro (sold in Nokia Store) does not read .doc files anymore with Belle.
No option to add contact to group when creating it as new.
Search widget almost never works.
Remote lock does not work.i totally agree with you. i cant get into half off the apps (the ones i paid for) mainly because it sends me to a link to download OVI when its downloading the file it then says its "unable to install ive done everything, thinking its the software of belle that didnt download properly.. a glitch in the software or i'd done something.. my phone it now being used as least as possible. the basics of this model (calling/contacts/messages) isnt as easy as previous..
after reading on here and many other discusion sites it seems like this model (N8)
DOES have a fault with the belle software. and needs to be sorted pronto
or at least give the option to refer back to anna.
this phone it well established to have so many hicupps!!
ive been with nokia for years think the 3310 was my first but my upgrade is due and im looing for other options - something i'd never do.. -
Disappointment with SAP B1Reports
Hi,
we are using SAPB1 for the last 1 year and i am really disappointed with the reporting quality
SAP should not leave this critical portion to partners only , they should provide crystal reports
of at least all legal reports , I have 3 different versions of XL report of RG23A and none of them
give proper output, right now i am running a parallel software called UDYOG
for excise records .
B1 doesn't have simple reports like sales register, purchase register or cash and
bank books in proper format as prevalent in India
I am raising this issue so that the problems are resolved
RegardsHi Pradipta Dasgupta
You are 100% correct ,SAP Default reports are total waste ,why am saying is we have implemented 6 clients but none of the customer using default report,all the customer has using only query reports which we(partners) prepared,
all of our customers are happy with SAP,but not with reports. If SAP will take steps for this it will be very helpful for all the SAP Customers.

Disappointed with the new iMac 2011
I bought a new iMac 21.5 inch 2011 model replacing my plastic iMac. When I first bought it, I was very excited because it got all the top reviews.
Then, my first iMac had 2 dead pixels on the top of the screen, it was very annoying so I got an exchange. The second one have no screen issues, but it has very annoying buzzing sound from the top of the back panel. Then I get the third exchange, and this one still has the annoying buzzing sound from the bottom part of the panel, and a notable dust particles trapped inside the screen encasing. I went to the apple store several times, they are saying they won't do any more exchange, and the buzzing sound is not noticable and it is the part of the nature of iMac.
I am very disappointed with this iMac model, I am wondering if any other users have similar experience with the new iMac.
Thanks for forum administrator keeping this post.I am like many users who wanted a machine for media development, wow, the Mac has a reputation for being good at that. However, I'm one who has had problems. I have never actually hated a machine before now. I am unable to multi-task, I have no software available for development except for the xcode IDE which changes weekly, rendering all highly expensive books and classes obsolete and useless within a week of purchase.
Also, if you want to multi-task, I'm unable to load multiple tabs or browser windows without this machine halting to a crawl. I've spent at least a total of 20 hours on the phone with idiots who barely speak english to help me out. I've spent at least three full Saturdays at the so-called genius bar in town. I cannot load more than one application at a time and get decent performance. OMG, apple has set me back decades.
Many will say this is probably due to my ISP. NO. I have my trusty HP machine here and I can actually boot it up and load the browser (IE) in the time it takes for an already booted iMac with Safari with a linked clicked before. So the ISP is great. It's the iMac that *****.
One good thing that has come from this peice of sht though. It is a true test of my restraint and tolerance for crap.
I am actually now willing to give up apple development altogether because of the poor performance and lack of decent software for the same.
I am now able to say good riddence APPLE! This is NOT the direction I am headed.
That is all I have to say. -
iTunes is totally frozen with multiple paints of same screen within itself. Also incredibly slow. Are there alternative players I can use with my iPhone, or must I use iTunes with my iPhone? iTunes is effectively unusably slow. I am using Windows 7.
I only use it once every few weeks and each time it is more disappointing than the previous time. does it run better on a Mac than Windows? Is this app really the future of media? Really?I am using iTunes 11.1.3 -- The most recent version. When I select something from my albums it just freezes. I have restarted it a few times with same result.

Hiii I just bought an ipad 4 and I am completely disappointed with the volume.
I compared the volume of new ipad 4 with iPhone 4S n ipad 2 I found 4s n ipad 2 sound great.
I went to authorised apple service center where they told me ipad sound is always lesser then iPhones.
Why my ipad 2 is not like that?
Can I get refund as I am not satisfied with this product? Is their any policy? I like music a lot n with this new ipad m totally disappointed.Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers

I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto ’09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn’t need it).
I am totally happy with the way iPhoto organizes my photos and how I can work with iMovie to create slide shows with music from iTunes, etc.
I have been shooting mostly high resolution jpegs and I continue to learn more and more about photography, post processing etc. I realize that the small adjustments I can make in iPhoto are good, and are adequate most of the time. However, a have started to experiment with shooting RAW images and would like to go the next step, ie. post processing.I am totally technically challenged and need SIMPLE, INTUITIVE programs and am certainly NOT anywhere ready for Photoshop CS whatever!
After having these programs sit on my computer, I decided to try to see if I could figure them out. When I opened Aperture, this is what first comes up.
“Welcome to Aperture 3.2
Your library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of Aperture. Once upgraded, you will not be able to use this library with previous versions of Aperture.
Upgrading a library from previous versions of Aperture 3 generally takes a few minutes or less, though larger libraries will take longer. After that, Aperture 3.2 will upgrade your library's thumbnails, but you can use the application during that time.
Tip: To open a different library, quit Aperture and hold the Option key down while starting Aperture
Current Library Location:
Jadzia (home) -----Pictures------Aperture Library
QUIT UPGRADE”
I have heard horror stories about moving your entire library to Aperture, ending up with 2 libraries, etc. etc. hence my previous reluctance in attempting Aperture. In addition, many of my photography friends are saying: Go with Lightroom 3.....you’ll love it!
So here is my dilemma. I don’t want to mess around with my iPhoto library. All I want to be able to do, is to isolate a few photos, export them to Aperture, Elements, and work on them there, then bring them back into iPhoto.
Can I do this? Should I forget about Aperture and Elements and look at purchasing yet another program like Lightroom?Export those few photos via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original to the Desktop. Then import them into the Aperture library. That would keep one copy in your iPhoto library and another in your Aperture library to edit, etc.
You can use Photoshop Elements 9 from within iPhoto as your editor of choice. However, if you edit a raw file in iPhoto with PSE9 the resulting edited version must be saved outside the iPhoto Library and imported back in as a new file. For editing jpegs just do a Save (not a Save As) and it all will be kept within iPhoto.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

The Bluetooth low energy protocol is not backward compatible with classic Bluetooth protocol.
My iPhone 4s can not find my sonny in-dash player. However my iPhone 3GS does it. Very disappointed with this.
Any idea how it can be fixed??????Hello,
You are correct, Blue tooth low engergy, BTLE.(only) devices are not backward compatible with Classic bluetooth and cannot connect.
However the Apple 4S and above have Bluetooth 4.0 support.. Hardware wise it has bothClassic Bluetooth, like the 3GS, as well as Bluetooth Low Energy. There is no good reason why your 4s cannot communicate to your Sony in-dash player using the Classic bluetooth that resides in the 4S.
I know that this does not answer the why it does not work, but it should work. Do you have to somehow re-pair the new phone up to the player? Not knowing the model of the Sony it is hard to investigate.
And I hate to ask but are you sure that the Bluetooth radio is on in the phone?
