What's the story with Launchpad app location?

Got a new MBP. Spent an hour setting up pages in Launchpad. Realized the sold computer, straight from the Apple Store, had 10.8 installed. Had to update to 10.8.2 to run some apps. Reboot and the Launchpad pages are FUBARed. What's up with that? It's been like this since day one of Launchpad. Can't this be put right? Come on man.

Here it is - I was surprised not to see Launchpad listed, so you may have to use the Mac OS X feedback......

You could also send a bug report......

HT1222 What is the deal with certain apps not being functionally with the new software?? I have an iPhone4 and will not be getting the 5 anytime soon. I am very frustrated!

What can I do to get apps working that are now dysfunctional after upgrading?

Well, start by describing what is meant by dysfunctional. There are several different interpretations.
Of course, one could also simply READ the User's Guide and try basic troubleshooting before posting such an uninformative statement.
FYI, these are user to user support forums. Apple does not read or respond here and we, your fellow users, could care less whether you purchase another iPhone or not.

What is the story with Java and UTF-8

Im getting bits of info about java and utf-8, things like
"unless you wrap the FileInputStream, you'll get exceptions with UTF-8 encoding"
So can someone tell where there is a good resource for detailing problems / advice when dealing with utf-8 encoded data???
or
Give me the low down and what the dodge actually is?
Sorry for my poor English - im a scally
Many thanks

1) you've chosen SAX probably because it sticks well to your business requirements (i hope ;-), so keep it!
2) i am using both James Clark's XP and Xerces as my SAX parsers (XP for big volumes because it offers better performances): i am processing only UTF-8 encoded files with no problems,
3) sure, if you hit some troubles post again and a lot of pair of eyes will look into it!

What is the story with Lightroom

Can anyone tell me about Adobe Lightroom? I am a pe5 user. Is there any reason to buy lightroom and use it with PE5? Can I replace PE5 with lightroom? Andy

Robert.....
It's difficult for me to give 100% accurate info as I've only used the Beta releases and V1.0 has some new features.
I've been using Lightroom for many months now alongside Elements. I suspect my workflow may change when V1.0 comes along as I believe its Organising abilities have change quite a bit.
Right now though I use it 100% for RAW processing. The Elements downloader still springs into life and dumps the images to my hard drive, but I then open LR and import the images into that. I'm hoping V1 may have improved and have an Elements type downloader but I don't find that a major obstacle. I could just stop the Elements service and import directly into LR.
One of the big issues I can see is that both Elements Organiser and LR keep independent databases so a decision will have to be made to either keep them in sync or work them independently. I'm hoping that I can drop the Elements Organiser in favour of LR but to date Elements Organiser has better capability, at least in my opinion.
Once I've imported the images into LR I review and cull them. (This currently means deleting them in Elements Organiser seperately). The images are keyworded and the keywords are compatible with Elements. I then process the images and Export them as PSDs back to the same folder as the RAW images. Since this is a watched folder Elements picks up the PSDs and the keywords. I then hide the RAW images in Elements.
Key thing to remember is that Elements has no concept of XMP files which is what LR generates.
You can also select an image in LR and then choose to Edit it in Elements. LR exports a TIF to Elements - you make your Edits; close the file and it goes back into LR. V1 has a kind of version/stacks feature. This is similar to selecting an image in Elements Organiser and then launching the Elements Editor.
What doesn't appear to work currently - and I'm not pinning any hopes that V1 will work any different - is that you cannot launch LR from Elements. In some way that doesn't make any sense to me anyway.

What's the Story with Brightness using AutoTone

AutoTone brightness levels have been pretty whacked out on the PC version for a long time now. Are you guy mixing up native gammas between OS's or something. I mean it's pretty much consistently too bright on the PC version by like about +25. It's the consistency of the overly bright on the PC version by +25 that makes me think its something you guys can fix (take a look at). Of course some kid or really old guy will now respond with some (subjective/relativity, is your monitor calibrated stuff he learned this year on the internet nonsense) but that's par for the course I guess. Thanks guys for the the terrific work your doing.

Yea ssprengel, that's exactly what I've been doing (not using it much though any more). Wish we could at least edit the code in the preset where all it would do is shadow, highlight recovery and auto contrast. Those portions of AutoTone seem to work very well. Something maybe like;
settings = {
   AutoBrightness = false,
   AutoContrast = true,
   AutoExposure = false,
   AutoShadows = true,
   AutoHighlightRecovery = true,**
   AutoFillLight = false,**
   AutoTone = false,
**These are the one that do not exist and I wish they did.
By the way the "Fill Light" portion of AutoTone is also a disaster.

What's the story with Yosemite?

I just upgraded my iPhone to iOS 8 and I want to know what to do with the iCloud disk which is compatible with Yosemite. Right now I have Mavericks on my MacBook 2.4 Duo and I'm happy with it. All the glitches and so forth have been worked out and I don't think I want to go through another period where I can't get my mail, etc. So, has anyone tried Yosemite? the iCloud disk? the interface between the two? etc. Many thanks, Y

Thanks for responding. One of the entry questions after the upgrade to 8 iOS asks if you want iCloud Drive, but it states that "you will not be able to access the documents currently stored in iCloud on the following devices until they are also upgraded to iOS 8 or OSX Yosemite." My question is: should I upgrade to iCloud Drive if Yosemite is still unavailable if I want to access my documents?

What is the story with Parallels?

I got a copy of Parallels with the purchase of my MacBook Air (bonus). So I installed it and registered it but have never used it yet. Been about 6 months. So today I open it up and it tells me that it has expired and I need to purchase a license again (or upgrade). Is this some kind of mix-up or does this program require a subscription paid every so often?
Thanks,
Richard

The copy you got with your computer was a trial version. Registering it allowed you to use it for a given period of time. After that if you want to keep using the software, you have to buy it. This is not a new concept.

What is the story with all this mac stuff

Recently bought a imac and was happy out at the start. I was on adobe prem ele 7 before on the pc. Before i go any further I am loving FCE 4 !!\
Ok here it is first off having to export movies out of imovie so annoying it just takes so long why you cant burn a dvd straight out of imovie like in adobe prem ele i just don't know. Then there is all the setting s in imovie import and export options yet in adobe prem ele i used to import my media staright in and adobe reconised it and put it out there with no hassel and the quality was really good now I am getting slightly fizzy looking video in imovie ( which i thought i had sorted with the great help from f shippey ) I get this fuzzy look in my video when i export via quicktime.
When i play it on my desktop in quicktime along side the same clip from finder in quicktime there is a definate loss of quality in my clips from imovie.....
Ok so I got side tracked there a bit back to idvd I burnt a 50minute project with titles e.tc on to verbatim dvd-r at 1x and 4 x speed and when i played them back onto my dvd player they stick half way through for a couple of secs and then play on, this is crazy and its not the first time i'm so annoyed with idvd and i don't think its up to the job at all. I never had one dvd stick in adobe and thats built into the premier ele software , i edited over 60 videobooth wedding dvds on the pc last year and never had one sent back for sticking... The FIRST one i do on the mac and it gets sent back to me for sticking so i run through some tests myself and everyone stutters/ sticks ... this is not good enough and i am wandering if anyone has any ideas or if they have experienced anything simular?
I have spent over 3500 euro on my mac and software printer etc and I am not happy with this..... and ps toast titanium 10 pro has been ordered so will check that out.
Many thanks and hope i didn't sound to rude just very frustrated.

What is the story with Apple not allowing downloaded movies to be played on TV's?

***?

It isn't that it's an AVI that it's poor quality, it's down to the culture and individuals that steal and post it on the internet for others to download. If you use these sorts of services, you'll be plagued by poor quality video, infections on your computer and potentially a knock on the door.
You can get good quality movies from the iTunes Store that won't infect your computer and let you sleep peacefully in your bed at night.

Hey there ArmidaKers,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
This article provides information about accessing your past purchases from iTunes in the Cloud, and it should answer your question about the download icon that you’re seeing when browsing the App Store on your iPad.

What's the go with this latest update. Half my apps don't work and the iPad runs slower? How do I go back to the old operating system?

Make sure your apps are updated. You might try Settings > iTunes & App Store > Automatic Downloads - Updates = "On".
You cannot go back to an old operating system.

Almost certainly, some sort of hardware problem on your logic board.

What's the problem with Adobe Downloader assistant? It's impossible to download a trial version of

What's the problem with Adobe Downloader Assistant? It's making it impossible to download a trial version of PS 5 extended. I can see that I'm not the only one experiencing difficulties with this so........what's the story Adobe?!!!! If you don't want people to download trial versions of your products then just say so! Or do something about the problem and remove this faulty download.I have a brand new Mac,so it shouldn't be a problem. The Adobe Downloader has been extracting for 2 days now, and I can't shut it off. Very irritating!

If you are having problems with extracting it is likely that you have customized the location of your download. I would recommend downloading to your User folder or Desktop folder. When the download and extraction process are complete you can then install to your Program Files folder.

What's the purpose of Launchpad when there is an "applications" folder in the Dock?

What's the purpose of Launchpad when there is an "applications" folder in the Dock?

I simply never use it - but then again I haven't used the Dock for anything either sice slighty before the stone age. Many years ago I discovered LaunchBar ( http://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/index.html ) which does all my launching and a whole lot more too, for app switching I use Liteswitch X ( http://www.proteron.com/ ) which adds more bang to the Command-tab switcher, including Force Quit and along with Default Folder ( http://stclairsoft.com/DefaultFolderX/ ) they are literally the first things I install on a new Mac.
But they are not for everybody. I drive by keyboard, some folks are happier using the mouse. Choice is the point.

TD
