Where do I send a long list of problems I have with non-functionality with the Lion OSX and new Safari for Lion.
In the past two weeks I have been documenting my Lion problems.
First, Arrows gone from finder windows; makes it difficult in comparing long lists of files in folder, or compare documents when reviewing line by line. This is obviously a change by people who do not compare long lists in windows comparing files between versions of projects ... the click to next screen is NOT equal to arrows.
Second, Finder Redreaw - doesn't. Move files to a fold, if there are a lot of files, they image of the files being moved remains in finder (see attached screen capture) until Finder is restarted and if COPY function is running. last files in Copy queue are not copied.
Screen capture 5 minutes after moving files to a folder - the selected file images are still in Finder after the move was completed.
Third, it is SLOW, particularly going to an "Attach file" in email, drawing the content of a folder to select an attachment is long enough for me to go to the kitchen, get a drink and come back. Just like the old days of OS7.
Fourth, shifting/recentering screen away from where I am working. Several programs, browsers, Adobe Photoshop/inDesign, and dear old Pages re center my screen - not to the center, but if I choose 30 of 70 images in a folder, it will shift … somewhere else in the folder instead of where I just clicked. If I am working on a document in inDesign or PhotoShop it will do the same - the cursor and screen drift elsewhere to find something it has been amused by. Sometimes it is a word, or a file, but often it is off the pastboard and on the etherial pasteboard on which the pages sit. Or if I'm zoomed in on an image, it moves to somewhere else.
I use a mouse and keyboard, both Apple wireless. I do not use a trackpad, but have a tablet/stylus I am afraid to put into the mix until this crap is stopped.
Fifth, SAVE AS… is gone. You must unlock, duplicate and edit the duplicate … and must rename it in Finder, or use EXPORT to save as the same format under a new name. SAVE AS… worked. Not broke, why fix it?
Personal Comment: The problems seem to be the triumph of coked up software engineers ooohing and aaahing over "Wouldn't it be cool if..." Cool, if they were Microsoft, and required everyone change how they have worked on Macs for the past (almost) three decades. Triumph of brainstorming over functionality.
Sixth, I can't use Cocoa Booklet, but that really started in OSX 10.6 "Snow Leopard". Most of my X11/Cocoa programs stopped worked about that time. Apple is no longer supporting "open source"?
But Wait! There's More...
Seventh, Tonight, trying to download a 1.7 gig archive onto a disk where 280 Gigs were supposedly free, it would not download because, according to the wonderful new Safari and the wonderful new Lion, there is not enough disk space to download a 1.7 gig file in a mere 280 Gigs of free space.
I might be able to move Snow Leopard onto the iMac, but my deciding factor was that Apple, in its wisdom, decided to make iBook Author unable to run under Snow Leopard. So moving to Snow Leopard means I have lost the ONLY benefit I get from the new computer and the new system.
This really stinks.

Whenever I send an email, the person who receives it gets something that says References: and a long list on nonsense to do with Gmail before the actual message appears.
Here is an example....
References: <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <CAM-_T=[email protected]> <BLU0 ,[email protected]> <CAM-_T=CAUP+9GyYG-_ecOazo=[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]>

When you turn off your primary account the only active account the phone can send via is your Gmail account, and that's what you're seeing.
The question is why do you need to turn off the primary account.. which you answer:
When that is set up as the primary server and turned on I get a message that says "the recipient was rejected by the server
That's because your ISP (megalink) is using access controls to manage who sends mail through their mail server. The first thing they're probably doing is using IP address restrictions - essentially saying they'll only relay mail from any machine on their network (including dialup/DSL/etc. customers), but you're not on their network, you're on an AT&T (or Verizon) 3G connection which isn't in their IP address range, and therefore not valid as far as their mail server is concerned.
The typical solution to this is authentication - by authenticating to their server (via username and password) you identify yourself as a customer and they should relay your messages. So check your phone to ensure that you have authentication enabled for your primary mail account.
If that fails (e.g. they don't support authenticated SMTP) the next option would be to relay the message through your cell provider's mail server - as an AT&T wireless customer you should be able to relay through AT&T's mail server... likewise for Verizon (or whatever national carrier your iPhone is on). You'll need to check with your carrier's site for the specifics of the mail server address to use. -
Long List of Problems and no one will help!!!
I have had NOTHING but problems with this phone since the sales clerk talked me into buying it. I've had it for a little over a year and a half. It's had "Software" issues out the rear and it's been replaced and still has the very same issues. YET I can't swap it out with another phone without paying through the nose for a new one. Verizon sold me a phone that does not work completely. Verizon keeps replacing it with the same phone and numerous Verizon employees keep telling me that this phone has MANY known issues, LOTS of complaints. Yet I am still stuck with a phone that is barely useable. I am so disgusted right now.
Here is just a SMALL sampling of issues with my phone and I am still being denied a new phone unless I want to pay $600. I have 4 weeks until I can "Upgrade" and I still can't even get an early upgrade. I have been VERY patient waiting for my "TWO YEARS" to be "UP" so I can upgrade without being robbed. This in addition to suffering through the Black Berry Storm that SUCKED and was replaced 7 times in a year and a half period due to "Software issues" I will admit, two of those replacements were my fault - one got wet and the other was stolen, but still, 5 replacements is not acceptable. Then I went to buy my new phone (Glory day for me) then I get talked into this Fascinate and it's just as bad as the Storm was, if not worse. I can't seem to win. I have decided to go for an iPhone.
Here is my list of problems and NO one can fix them, no one can help, I get told that this is a known problem yet Verizon won't take care of their customers that got screwed by this phone. I've been a loyal customer for 7 years. I love the actual cellular service, I rarely get dropped calls, which is why I stick with verizon, but I am seriously considering jumping ship, because even though I'm loyal, I buy my phones through them, I can't get support.
The SHORT LIST of problems that makes this phone 100% unacceptable:
1) Can't text 3/4 of the time because a little grey box pops up in the text box and it won't accept anything I type into it.
2) Have not been able to send picture emails for several months now - Verizon can't figure out why. My husband misses out on a lot of pics of our kids, I like to text him fun pics of them doing things or when we are on vacation without him.
3) phone freezes up on a regular basis. Several times a day. I have to pull the battery out and reboot.
4) Sometimes I can't answer the phone when it rings - the phone rings and when I slide the puzzle piece to answer the phone, it freezes and continues to ring long after the person has hung up and the only way to get it to stop ringing is to pull the battery out and reboot the whole thing.
5) a LOT of times, people will call my phone and it won't ring - it goes straight to voicemail. I have had people call me when they are sitting right next to me and it doesn't ring (and yes, I've checked the volume, it's on, the phone is on) sometimes though, it rings and I actually can answer it, but lately, it's becoming more and more of a problem being able to receive and actually be able to answer them
6) I can't use Facebook. It takes forever to actually get into FB and when I do, it only shows about 5 posts before it freezes. A few weeks ago, I could post to FB but only here and there, now I can't post from FB from my phone at all. I know that's likely due to the APP - but FB on this phone has always sucked.
7) At home, even when I standing next to my wireless router, it says I have "Lost Signal", yet all of my other wireless devices work from 5400 square feet away, on the other side of the house, upstairs. Even when I'm standing in the Verizon store, it says "Internet Connection Lost" It is so frustrating. I am a busy mom and I have 5 minuts to myself and I can't even check FB or browse on the internet and yes, I have checked, all of my connections are set up correctly. My wireless is enabled on my phone. But it still doesn't work.
8) Email - it's constantly refreshing, even though I have it set to only refresh once and hour. I think I even changed it to once a day. Instead, that little "refresh wheel" spins constantly on my phone and while this little refresh wheel spins, I can't read email, I can't write email and I can't send email. When it finally stops and I open an email and the try to respond and write back, that little refresh wheel starts spinning again and then I have to wait until i can get home to a real computer to actually read & Respond to email.
9) Calendar inputs the wrong time. I had a dentist appt at 9:30am. I set it as 9:30am. When I saved it, it changed it to 10:40am. I went back into the calendar function to change it thinking I had input the wrong time, but no, when I went to edit it, my 9:30 time was set, I hit save again and saving it changed it to 10:40. WTH? I can't even rely on the calendar function.
10) Two weeks ago, I woke up, looked at my clock, which I also rely on as an alarm clock. The room was dark. The clock said 5:30am. But for some reason, it felt later. Sure enough, I get up, check my husbands alarm clock, it's 7:30am. I am so thankful I had a gut feeling and looked at another clock. I did not change my time zone on my phone (in fact, I went looking for Time change stuff and I couldn't even find it. Then two hours later, the phone went back to normal time all on it's own.
11) Text messages occasionally pop up and it tells me it's from Jay Smith (Not real name) and when I open the actual text, it's from Sarah Jenkins (not real name) WTH? How am I supposed to rely on text if its confused itself?
12) Phone shuts itself off all the time, several times a day. All of a sudden I will hear the musical tone of my phone shutting down and then at some point, it will turn itself back on. When I turn it back on, it resends out old text messages (See below)
13) Text message randomly sends out old text messages to people that I sent text messages out to months ago. So the people will text me back saying "WTHeck is this about?" and I look and it's an old text message I sent them a month or two ago. It usually does this when the phone freezes, shuts itself down and restarts. I have found out that IF I delete my text messages timely, then it won't resend out any old text messages, but I am not very good about deleting stuff and often times, text message contains some important information that I haven't yet had the time to copy down and save. I shouldn't HAVE to delete my text messages so it doesn't randomly send out text messages to people.
14) Often times, I will send out a text message and it will fail to send the message and I get a text message saying my text message has failed.
I could go on, but I think that will give sufficient evidence that this phone stinks and that Verizon should give people owning this phone a chance to get a new phone without raping their wallets.
Maybe someone here will listen? Because no one at the store does... I pay for Verizon service that I barely even get to use because my phone doesn't perform like the guy who sold it to me told me it would.
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW????About the only thing I can say is to keep going to Verizon, or calling customer service to get them to look at the issues. I talked to 1 rep that told me to dial either 4# symbols, or 4* symbols (Can't remember which it was) after I got the VM message but did not have the phone ring, so it would mark my account record and they could search and troubleshoot the issue.
As far as your upgrade, I think you have done the right thing so far, and that is signing up on this forum, that way you can look at the different phone forums and see what issues that people are having. Talking to people that have the phone is a great way to find out what the issues are. Verizon Sales reps will only sell you the latest and greatest, or if there is something that they are being told to push to get out of stock.
Going with an iPhone is ok, just make sure it is correct for you, because like you said earlier, once it is done, it is done and you are stuck with it for 2 years. I had a friend who made a knee-jerk reaction to a bad phone, and did the same thing. They regretted it after 6 months. I am not saying the iPhone will be bad for you, just make sure you do your homework. -

i have a long-existing iPhone 4s with one apple id and started a job where I received a macbook with another apple id. how do i get my phone to sync with the Mac Pro and secondly how do i get my music on there?
No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

I still use Aperture 2.1.4. I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile. Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue. Help? Is there some way to add the CMYK profile to the list of choices that are available in the export preset dialogue such that I can choose it?
leonieDF
Thanks for your response. My profiles are located within color sync utility as you can see here:
These profiles do not respond to clicking and dragging. Since they are all in one place, more or less, I'm reluctant to make further attempts to relocate them. Accessing the CMYK profile is the first difficult experience I've encountered with this arrangement. I have never needed the CMYK profile until recently, and that need has now past. However, it remains a mystery to me as to why it does not appear with all the others on the menu of export choices in Aperture 2, or on the menu of profile assignment choices in the Preview application (where again all the other profiles are listed as choices). I'm beginning to think my current set up will permit me to view an image that was created in CMYK space, but does not easily assign, or convert to that space. I don't face these restrictions with all the others, so it remains a curious circumstance for me. I anticipate upgrading my computer and software in the near future which might alleviate this issue altogether. Again, many thanks for your attention to this matter. The reach of this community is astounding. -
Long list of problems I had, culminating in iPhone no longer powering on.
So, let me start off by saying, there is no Apple Store available save by taking a plane to another island.
Anyway, awhile back when I updated my phone to a new version (I don't remember which), a bunch of things started happening.
1. No WiFi, it was grayed out, and inaccessible.
2. Would not ring if someone called me while the phone was on standby, except sometimes if it was plugged in and charging.
3. Calls would sporadically fail, and signal strength would alternate between full bars to none, to showing "No Service", and sometimes would show "No Sim". I could usually (not always) get service or signal strength back by toggling airplane mode on or off, but the only way to get rid of "No Sim" was to power it on and off.
4. Clock would always show the wrong time. It would seemingly stick at say... 3:40.. even though it was 6:00, then suddenly before my eyes jump forward 2 hours to the right time or still a bit behind. This also caused the alarm functions to not work, because it would usually skip over the time it was supposed to go off.
5. Error messages would occasionally flash on the screen, but disappear so quickly as to be nearly unreadable, sometimes saying "Please connect to iTunes" but it hadn't done that one in awhile.
6. A general sluggishness at times, also weird delays on sounds or none at all. I.E. I'd take off standby (wouldn't make swish sound), start to type a text message, only there'd be no sound while typing, but then 30 seconds later it'd make the swish sound it normally makes as you take it off standby, and resume clicking when typing.
Restoring it through iTunes would not help at all.
Anyway, so today, I tried restoring it like 6 times in a row out of pure frustration, and it like got stuck in recovery mode while rebooting, and when iTunes was restarting it, it just turned off.
The iPhone will no longer turn on, even when plugging it in to my computer or to the outlet charger, no matter if I hold power or home button or both.
Update: I just got it to power on again, about an hour after I was last trying fruitlessly. I restored it again, so it's "working" albeit with the long list of problems above still.

Message was edited by: DryesiasIf you regularly sync your iPhone, you won't lose ANY info when restoring.
iTunes creates and maintains a backup of your iPhone - which is updated if needed as the very first step during the sync process. The backup stores all your iPhone settings, SMS messages, notes created with the Notes application, recent calls, call favorites, visual voicemail messages, and photos captured by your iPhone - basically all data stored on your iPhone not included with the sync process.
Your iPhone has not died - not yet, but it has developed a problem which requires a Restore.
It isn't required to have an Apple Store near you. This can be handled over the phone by calling AppleCare (800) 694-7466, but I venture to say that AppleCare will try to troubleshoot the problem over the phone before having your iPhone picked up for inspection and testing, which will very likely include a Restore just as the error message provided indicates. You can do it now, which will probably resolve the problem, or wait and do it when calling AppleCare. -
I have what I think is the original Ipad, and suddenly it will no longer send out emails and some of the apps that worked prior to the newer Ipads coming out will no longer work. Can this be updated, or am I stuck with an expensive electronic device that will no longer serve my needs?

iTunes movies no longer sync from Dell laptop or MacBook Pros (both authorized devices) to iPhone 6s or iPad Air 2s after configured at Apple store yesterday. In the past I could see the movies in iTunes with the cover photo and sync to the other devices but now there is a listing a movies with no cover photos and in fact if I try to view the movie on the MacBook Pro it cannot be found unless I download it.
All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

how can I send an email to a group in my address book, but hide the individual names and email addresses?
You used to be able to do this through leaving unchecked the box in preferences "when sending to a group show all member addresses". However, that feature failed some time ago (two or three years?) and the only way to hide the addresses now is to put the group in the BCC field.

I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.
To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
