Two things that apple needs to do...

apple, pleeeease bring back the brushed metal. it was a nice touch.
i understand that it was replaced as a backing with plastic to improve gps tracking. that makes sense - but wouldn't it make sense to replace the tacky looking silver plastic edging with brushed metal? it wouldn't interfer with gps reception and would bring back some of the class the brushed metal casing brought to the design.

but wouldn't it make sense to replace the tacky looking silver plastic edging with brushed metal?
Not from a financial perspective.

  • Does anyone remember the CrossGrade thing that Apple did a few years ago?

    Does anyone remember the CrossGrade thing that Apple did a few years ago? My understanding is that it brought academic versions of FCP and Studio up to retail versions. Now I'm trying to upgrade to Studio 2 and the guy at the store who initially agreed with me that this is what the program did and then he went in back of the store to do some research and when he came back says that crossgrade only filled out the disks in the set i.e. if you had FCP 4 Academic and did the CrossGrade you would have Studio 1 Academic... If I misunderstood the program I can admit it but I have been under this belief for so long... So the big question is... Does or did the CrossGrade program bring academic software up to retail/ upgradable versions???

    The crossgrade only exchanged Power PC versions of FCP/FCS for Universal Binary (Intel compatible) versions. The software on Retail and Academic versions is identical. The difference is in the license -you would need a completely new serial # to go from Academic to Retail.

  • I have two PCs that I need to deauthorize so I can download tunes to my new laptop. Trouble is, they are both out of commission. Is there anyway I can deauthorize them remotely?

    De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
    For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

  • HT201317 I've noticed two things that my ipad no longer does, if save an image from graphic art on the internet, it used to save them to photostream, it no longer does, and with all the settings on my photos no longer shared between ipad and pc, like it u

    I've noticed two things my Ipad no longer does, If I save an image from an internet graphic file - facebook or whatever, the photo used to be saved to photostream... it no longer saves it to anywhere. Also having made sure all the boxes are ticked with photostream and ICloud and not knowingly changed anything, photos take with Ipad/photostream no longer end up in icloud and available to other machines eg. windows pc. Anyone got any suggestions?

    Try here:

    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    To get the calender and contacts back if you can't get the iPod working is to restore the new iPod from the backup of the old one.

  • Two things that bug me with my T400

    I got a T400 and I have it how i like it except for two things:
    1.) The harddrive light flicks about every second or shorter.  What is accessing my hard drive all the time?  (I installed a SSD but I think it did the same thing before I installed it)
    2.) The lenovo service take FOREVER to startup.  I try to bring up the internet (Fn+F5) or the ThinkVantage button and it thinks a for little and then NOTHING COMES UP.  I have to wait about 10 minutes after startup and then click I can click the button and the service will start
    I've updated both my Lenovo service and Windows.  What can I do to fix this?

  • Things that Logic needs to be #1!!!!

    I think Logic needs to do some work on the waveform edit.
    More like Pro Tools.
    Right now, the main thing i miss is not to be able to quantize an Apple Loop. I mean, some parts of the loop that are offbeat are impossible to quantize.
    Message was edited by: Bob Antis

    Yes,i mean the blue apple loops.
    I wouldn't even mind if i could tweak the normal aiff loops like Ableton Live or Pro Tools, to be able to quantize by yourself with precision!
    I think Apple should include that in their next update, it's so important for waveform editing. My self, i edit a loop in Pro Tools,then export it and work it in Logic, it's so frustrating!!!

  • The Top Ten things that BB needs to fix now

    BB Fans after having my BB Classic for nearly a month,  I am disappointed that there are several issues that need to be resolved immediately with OS 10.  I have started a Top Ten list of issues and features that need to be addressed immediately.  Please chime in as many of you have the same issues or know of some that I haven't discovered yet.  Now here are my Top Ten:
    1. Unable to a complete Synch with BB Link, according to BB tech support the issue comes from pictures that are attached to a contact or a Linked In account.  We didn't have this issue with BB OS7.  
    2. Unable to attach a contact to a text message, error shows contact acnnot be shared.
    3.  Unable to attach a contact to an e-mail, error shows contact cannot be shared.
    4. BB Protect doesn't back up and restore as it did in OS7.
    5. BB Protect doesn't locate, display a message or play a sound when you are roaming on another network as it did in OS7.  It will only locate on your home network, but it won't perform the other features as it did in OS7.
    6. When you search for an e-mail, it takes over 10 seconds and it replys "no results".  Go to web based e-mail account and perform the same search and the e-mail is found in seconds.  OS7 did this well.
    7. BB tech support needs to get better, but part of the problem is that they don't have solutions for our concerns.
    8. You cannot forward part of a conversion, it will only forward the complete conversation.
    9. You cannot bcc yourself to enable you to keep a copy of an e-mail.
    10. an e-mail icon needs to be seperate from hub as text messages are, because it takes to long to get to e-mails when accessing them from the hub.
    Please everyone chime in as we need to develop a list of our Top Ten issues and features that we desire in our BB10 devices.  BB should listen to us as many of us are loyal to BB nd want to see BB survive, improve and grow.

    Hi, rwb007,
    A few thoughts ...
    8. You cannot forward part of a conversion, it will only forward the complete conversation.
    True, however copy and paste works: http://docs.blackberry.com/en/smartphone_users/deliverables/67769/mba1343759181682.jsp
    9. You cannot bcc yourself to enable you to keep a copy of an e-mail.
    How to do this:
    a. Compose a new e-mail.
    b. Tap the menu icon (three dots) at the lowest right corner
    c  Tap Add Bcc:
    10. an e-mail icon needs to be seperate from hub as text messages are, because it takes to long to get to e-mails when accessing them from the hub.
    Remember, you can always select the e-mail account on the Hub, so only that e-mail account's messages are displayed.  That said, I'm with you on this one - would be nice to have the option, at least - to add an icon to the main screen for separate e-mail accounts as we had on the 9900/OS 7, although I can hear folks reminding me that also defeats the purpose of the Hub.  The simplified Hub design leaves me tapping a lot on the glass to separate which account's e-mails I wish to review as sometimes I find it confusing that all e-mails are mixed together in one long list.
    Kind regards,
    OBBG

  • Lightroom 2..2 Crashes (XP): Two things that seemed to help

    Like a number of other users, I have experienced a record number of crashes since I upgraded to Lightroom 2.0. 2.2 only made it worse. I have tried most of the steps recommended in the FAQ, without much success. Here are a couple of fixes I have tried that seem to substantially reduce, though not eliminate, crashes for me. YMMV.
    1. I run AVG antivirus software. I disabled the "Resident Shield" option. This is the internal monitoring function that scans files as they are copied, opened and saved. Lightroom generates a huge number of files. Disabling this function seemed to help. I believe several other anti virus software programs like Norton have similar functions that monitor internal processes that can be defeated.(This is a relatively recent "innovation" in virus software.)
    2. When it was really getting buggy, rather than do a complete uninstall/reinstall of Lightroom 2.2, I left the current install on the machine, launched the 2.2 upgrade installer and selected "Repair" rather than "install." That went pretty quick and when I relaunced, performance was substantially better with greatly reduced crashes. I know this may seem ridiculously elementary, but it made a difference.
    Having said that, as others have pointed out, using the brush function vigorously still just about guarantees a crash is in my near future, so when I am using the brush, I regularly exit and relaunch the application.
    Adobe, why isn't there a "Save" command so I don't have to exit? That would make living with this buggy release a lot easier.
    Hope this helps.
    WW

    My thoughts exactly. A good thing about Lightroom is that it does "save" your changes almost immediately, so you don't lose all of them in a crash. That is probably why Adobe does not have a "Save" command.
    The problem is that Adobe did not count on an application that can freeze solid like Arctic Tundra every 20-minutes or so. Preemptively exiting and relaunching helps avoid that by (apparently) resetting resources. A "save" command that performs the same function would be faster & easier.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price unless the iPod was previously worked on by other than Apple.. They do not fix yours.

  • I am trying to update to 5.0 and the installer keeps saying that I need to close Firefox to continue, but I have closed it and it still says I need to close it.

    I then tried to uninstall Mozilla 4.0 and it keeps saying the same thing that I need to close firefox before I can continue, but it is closed. I have no browsers open and it still will not allow the uninstall or the install.

    No iPod touch is capable of running both iOS 4.2 and 7.1.2, and you appear to have a second generation iPod touch, which can't be updated past 4.2.1.

  • Why does apple need my password to fix my broken ipod classic?

    Took my ipod in to curry's to be repaired and the shop assistant told me that apple needed my apple id and password for repairs, why is this?

    Yep.  76 others. I'm the 77th one straight off of the assembly line.
    As for plan A, there never was one.
    Actually, it was a username/alias I had originally just thrown together when I first signed up. I had no idea I would stick around this long.

  • Two Things - Links and Text

    So there are two things that drive me crazy when using Muse, both of which are a huge inconvenience to the site builder and the customer:
    1 - All text is automatically turned into image when lived.
    2 - You can't link text directly in a paragraph. You have to leave an empty space and then try to line up an individual menu link with the text.
    I really hope the newer versions of MUSE fix this. Or is there a way to avoid these problems that I'm not aware of?

    Hello HWheeler,
    I posted this information on your idea as well, but I will address it here so others can see it.
    Likely if the text is being turned into an image, you are using a non-websafe font. Muse does this to ensure that all users will see it the same, regardless of whether or not the user has that font installed. Using web-safe fonts (on the web-safe font list) allow you to export the item as text, which can be selected, copy/pasted, etc.
    Likely, this issue stems from the first. Using a websafe font, you can select the text you want to turn into a link, and then in the control strip (just above the page) use the Hyperlink box to link the text to an URL or page you'd like.
    Regards,

  • TV 23EL933G - Two things for nex firmware update

    My girlfriend offered me this television as a birthday present and I really like that but I have two things that maybe Toshiba can give us in the next firmaware update.
    These two things are:
    - DTS sound: The quality of 1080p mkv files is amazing but without DTS sound loose some of the fun;
    - Subtitles: I think the size of subtitles is too small and I dont like the yellow color so I hope that in the next firmware we can choose the subtitles color and size.
    Best regards

    I would like to add a few other observation about this TV:
    # the *Channel Skip* function should +HIDE+ the removed channel from the *Channel Sort* list as well, and the remaining channel should be renumbered accordingly *automatically*: I would like to see a *Delete* function too.
    # there should be some _huge improvements_ on the *Channel Sort* functions: it's a real pain to have the channels moved to a specific position with the only option available (+Swap+) as you have to spend a lot of time reordering the list, and navigate through all the skipped channels as well that are not marked and separated from the active ones. A *Move* function should be available here. Again the Auto-Renumber for the channels would be most welcomed and handy.
    # I would also like to have the *Return* button to swap between the last seen channels: I use this function a lot with another decoder I use and it's handy when you like to monitor two numeric distant channels.
    # since a timer function is already working, I would also appreciate to have the possibility to *Record a video* to the USB!
    I hope the Toshiba Devs can read these feed backs and implement them in the next Firmware!
    Thanks for reading

  • Is there any timeline soon that apple users will be able to open things that need adobe flash player?  I can not even play any games on Facebook, I can't open certain files, pictures sent to me or things like forms I news to see when I am not home

    I am so frustrated about Adobe Flash player. I can not play any Facebook games, open certain files and pictures and documents that I need to access because not only does this phone not do it but my old Palm Pre couldn't do it either. I have had so many times where I needed to access things either online or via email, or message that I can not even look at because of this. I have to wait until I for home or ask someone else to do it for me which is embarrassing. I rave about my iPhone 4S all the time because it is truly great except for this. When it use to happen with my Pal Pre I figures once I got my iPhone that it wouldn't happen anymore but I guess I was completely wrong. I have had this problem for years and always get a message saying that it's being worked on. Well a couple of years is a long time to work on it. I understand about contracts and stuff but why is it taking a company such as Apple to be able to get it for their products? I get a lot and always want to play the games on Facebook but I can't do it on most of them at least the ones I have tried. So I can not play against anyone at that time I have to wait until I get home or use someone else's computer or something. Please tell me that in the extremely near future that this will not be a problem anymore. PLEASE!!  I am sure I am not the only one out there who is having issues and if you do get it available please let there be an upload/upgrade for current phones and not just for future versions of Apple phones. That just wouldnt be very fair to all of your loyal customers and tell everyone to get your products because they are great and end up leaving this little problem out until they by your phone.  Especially if they just got the phone they have. You guys are awesome with technology I have faith that you can make this available to all Apple products old and new by uploads or upgrades. Thank you hopefully can give me some info about the status with this or if there wen is one. I would have thought that being a company such as you are that it would already be taking care of right from the beginning and not wait years to take care of somewhat that is very important ro have especially when there is so much our there using Adobe Flash now. I am not sure if this is just a blog with customers or if the company actually sees these posts but I am just hoping company or not that someone knows something about this. Thank you for your time and for reading this entire post if you have even gotten this far.

    Oh no... NOT THE 99-PAGER!!! Anything but THAT!!!
