What was the original reason behind the 1.5 interface?

Anyone knows? The fact that the update pops up in "Software update" makes no sense to me if it's only intended for a small majority of users. Any thoughts about why the MBPs were shipped "crippled" to start with?

Yes, but 'the majority' are unlikely to perform hardware upgrades themselves, and so, will be unaffected in any case.
So my original question was: What were the motives of Apple behind the original 1.5 interface?
The answer above still holds - we are users like you, and have no insight into the thought processes of the engineers at Apple. You will not get an answer from Apple here. Of course, you are free to while away the summer hours waiting for one...

I have a user on an iMac 10.6 connected to our domain. She uses Outlook web access for email on our exchange server. Last week she received the following message which is randomly preventing her from sending emails. She claims no attachment was involved in the original email when this all started. I have not been able to look at her account as she is out of the office but maybe someone else dealt with this issue. I realize this may not be Mac related but thought I'd give it a try. She did say it occurred once over two days while working on a PC but it continued over the past weekend.
If an internal user tries to send a message with infected attachment using Outlook Web Access, it may report the following error message: The action could not be completed because of a conflict with the original item.

This is because F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange has detected a virus in the attachment. If the user tries to send the message again, the message will be sent but without the attachment. At the same time a blank message with an attachment named "Attachment_information.txt" will remain in the user's Drafts folder. The "Attachment_information.txt" will contain information about the virus detected in the message.

PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!!

I love my Verizon, yes I really love my verizon that the only reason behind this story

Hi there,
I love my Verizon, yes I really love my verizon that the only reason behind this story but the service made me hate the same Verizon. When I took the Verizon connection I was so happy because I am doing a right thing. but now I feel the same that I have done a wrong thing.
1. Gift Card is reaching me till now.. hope I will get it when my contract ends!!!
I ordered this FiOS service by February and got a offer of 200$ gift card from Best Buy... I am getting the card till now.. no tracking.. no response... whenever I call them the response is really very nice. the call will be on hold for about an hour and then a voice will come then I have to explain the situation for about 20 mins, then he/she find the gift card is delivered to some other address. Then give me a waiting period of 3 weeks. I have waited atleast 5 * 3 weeks, between these period of time atleast 20 calls to you guys.
Don't you think how lucky I am... ha
A GREAT customer service.. which made me so happy. Thank you one and all.
2. Billing Issues:
I took a plan called FiOS freedom bundle offer. It costs $ 94.99 when I ordered, but later I came to know that is excluding taxes, that is fine so the total expected was some where around 105 to 110 $. But how great it worked for me... I haven't paid that less amount till now. see how much I paid till now...
Month Amount
March $189.53
April   $120.07
May   $120.07
June  $113.40
July   $113.39
and now the story begins again...
August $152.83
Whenever I call the customer care to ask clarification they will tell "**this will not be charged from next month". But there will be no answer why that was charged. I never even thought of writing this big story to some one like you but I am really sorry to say if this continues then your business will never endup in success.
Please consider this as me one and only request and do something.
$200 worth of Best Buy gift Card and
Take away all the additional options in my package and give me the bundle offer bill I ordered $94.99 + Taxes. I wont encourage paying not even one dollar more than that.
With lots of worries on my ever best Verizon,

Since this is a user Forum, James, you'll probably need to contact Verizon again. Contact Us
The only thing I can offer is this link: http://www22.verizon.com/awaitingfreereward/
Good luck and sorry we couldn't be more of a help.

When using Iphoto to import photo from existing folder, what happens if I delete the photo in Iphoto ? Will the original file in the folder be deleted too?

When using Iphoto to import photo from existing folder to iphoto, what happens if:
1. I delete that photo in iphoto? will the original file in the folder be deleted too ?
2. when importing, does the hard disk store 2 versions of the photo, hence occupying additional space in the harddisk?

1 - no -- iPhoto only manages fiel within the iPhoto library - it does not ever do anything with files outside the library
2 - No idea what you are asking - by default (and strongly recommended) iPhoto copies the original to the iPhoto library and you delete the source file outside the iPhoto library - iPhoto alwasy has at least two versions of every photo and some times three - it always have the original, a thumbnail and once a photo is modified a preview - this is not optional - if it is not what you want then iPhoto is not the correct progrtam to be using for phopto management

How do I create a DVD with no theme, i.e., it plays what was recorded when inserted in the player?

How do I create a DVD with no theme, i.e., it plays what was recorded when inserted in the player? Nothing extra, just the recorded content.

Hi
No Menu on DVD
from. Mishmunken
How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options)
1. Easy. Drop your iMovie in the auto-play box in iDVD's Map View, then set your auto-play item (your movie) to loop continuously.
Disadvantage. The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy. If you don't want your (auto-play) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the drop-zone (text needs to be black as well).
Disadvantage. The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time. Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage. One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software. Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn.
Disadvantage. you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way". Post-production with myDVDedit (free-ware)
Tools necessary. myDVDedit ( www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned. If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager.

For some reason I am unable to access my purchased itunes music from my icloud or from my computer. I suddenly get this message: say that I the original location for the song cannot be found.

For some reason I am unable to access my purchased itunes music from the purchased folder in the itunes store or in my icloud. The descriptions of the songs I purchased are there, but when I attempt to play them it says that the original location of the song cannot be located. This is so frustranting. How do I get my songs back??

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

After editing photos on the iPhoto can i keep the original date of the picture,(when it was taken).thanks

can i recover the original date of the picture whenit was taken after editing with iphoto.

You do not need to do anything - editing a photo in iPhoto does not modify the original date of the photo - that is a part of the photo informatiopn (in the EXIF data) - the only way to modify it with iPhoto is to use the modify date/Time command

Is there anyway to tell what is the database column behind the form field (

Is there anyway to tell what is the database column behind the form field (in Oracle financials).

If you are lucky, it can be simple, but if you are unlucky, it can be very complicated.
Using Help > Diagnostics > Examine when in the field will give you the name of the field.
Help > Diagnostics > Examine (Block: SYSTEM / Field: LAST_QUERY) will give you the query for the last block queried, which may or may not be the block you want, depending on how the form is defined (ie Master Detail relationships). If this is for the correct block and the field name is one of the columns returned by the query, then that is probably your answer.
If the Last Query is not for the correct block, using Help > Record History will give you the table or view that the block is based on (only where there is already a record in the block).
If the field name matches a column name in the table or view, then that is probably where it comes from. If there is no matching column name in the table or view, then the field is probably not queried directly from the database as part of the main query - it is probably populated by logic in the form, like the POST-QUERY trigger on the block. This means you need to open the form in Forms Builder to find what is populating your field (Program > Find and Replace PL/SQL is very handy for this).

An iPod can pn;y sync wiht one iTunes kibrary and the new computer is a new iTunes library:
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party probgram like one of those dicussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup

Filedown has a nasty reputation in English-speaking countries - plenty of antivirus/antimalware apps block everything there by default, which is what Peter has done. It doesn't mean that your link is malicious, only that it's hosted somewhere that has been used to host malware in the past.
I'm pretty sure, Peter, that there aren't any nonbreaking spaces there, because I'd wager that there aren't any spaces there at all. It's justified text, and the reasons why it will or will not break are sometimes obscure when using composers that aren't the J composer. Chinese text is usually entirely free of spaces, except in certain circumstances, usually involving European language inserted into Chinese text. Sometimes, for reasons I don't understand, InDesign will simply treat Chinese as if it were English, and only break at spots permissible in Euro languages. That's not the case here - it obviously breaks between two Chinese glyphs, so something else is up here.
Which version of InDesign are you using? Are you keying the text directly into InDesign, or are you placing, or copying/pasting?
If you're using an English version of InDesign, I would suggest trying to save your Chinese text as raw text or RTF and File -> Place that. If you choose RTF, try to mark it with Chinese language in your RTF editor (Word?) if possible.
Is No Break applied anywhere in your text? You can check in the Story editor (Control/Command Y) to see what styles and formatting are applied.

I do not have Aperture installed on my computer anymore but I do have my old library. Is there any way to extract the ORIGINAL image from the library without having Aperture installed?

I started using Aperture back when it first came out. I really had no idea what I was doing when I set everything up. I got a new computer but do not have my Aperture disc anymore but I do have my old library. I can get into the library and find the pictures in the Preview and Thumbnails folders, but these obviously are not the original pictures. The ones in the Preview folder are only 10% of the size of the original digial photo. I want to know if there is any way to get or reconstruct the original picture using the files in the library without installing Aperture.

Hi Refringgers,
Install the 30 day trial of Aperture. Open your Aperture Library, export the Masters and Versions.
Other than that I will make a strong recommendation not to muck within the Aperture library. Yes, you can find your photos in there, but if you ever decide to again use it may well be unable to be opened. The other thing is the photos are scattered around in a gazillion folders it would take a long time, of course depending on the number of photos, to retrieve them.
Cordially,
RicD

When I receive and answer e-mail, the correspondence is usually "nested" with the original message, and the number of replies, etc. are indicated with a number next to the original message. How can I change the mail settings so that every reply is listed

When I receive and answer e-mail, the correspondence is usually "nested" "behind" the original message, and the number of replies, etc. are indicated with a number next to the original message in the inbox. How can I change the mail settings so that every reply is listed individually in the inbox instead of having them "stacked" behind the original message. I'm afraid I might accidentially overlook messages the way they are handled now.

Somebody here will correct me if I'm wrong, but what you have to do is go into Settings, Mail/Contacts/Calendars and under Mail, turn off "Organize by Thread". I think that will make each message show individually.

HT4640 Adding a video clip to a keynote presentation - do I have to keep the original video on the camera roll?

I have several keynote presentations that are missing their video clips. Does the original video clip need to stay on the camera roll after you embed it in the presentation? I thought not, because when you add a video, a message comes up saying "compressing video" before it gets added. That made me think that a special compressed version of the original video is made and saved along with the presentation. I've tried testing this by creating a new presentation, adding a video clip to it and then deleting the original video from the camera roll and the video clip in the presentation was not affected. You'd think if the clip were linked to a presentation, that iOS would warn you before you delete it from the camera roll. But I can't think of any other reason why the clips would suddenly be missing from all my keynote presentations.

You can do this with iMovie '06, but not with iMovie '08. You should have iMovie '06 still on your hard disk if you upgraded from iLife '06, or you can download it for free from Apple. Under Editing -> Video Effects, you will find the Fast/Slow/Reverse effect that will do this.

I created a new administrator USER account. I deleted the original one but the process never ends. It's been 3 days now. And I can't close preferences window or turn off the computer.
It's stays in the "deleting" but I can't cancel it or close the window.
What can I do?

Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing. The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as). The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue). However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens. It will not change to highlight that user.

What was the original reason behind the 1.5 interface?
