Who IS happy with 2.2?

I have not received the update message yet and after reading many posts I am not sure I want to update. However, I realize that these forums are the place for people to solve problems so I am unsure how many replies I am going to get in regards to positive responses. Being a "techie". I am well familiar with the bugs and bumps of a new upgrade, but this is my phone, my life line to the world. Should I wait or should I go???

Count me among the great number of displeased users. I loved my phone right up until the update completely wrecked it.
Before you think that I am exaggerating, consider the plethora of issues I encountered immediately following the install:
-I lost 90% of my contacts after the upgrade. The few remaining contacts were lost when the techs got ahold of my phone.
-Apps run continuously, which causes my battery to be completely depleted within half a day. Compare that to the almost 2 days of battery life I used to get.
-Orientation issues when turning the phone. A good descriptor would be 'confused' for this problem. The phone acted like it had no idea where to go. Back and forth, back and forth.
-Rampant scrolling issues.
-Gmail was the only email that worked after the update.
-The phone would no longer sync with my 2010 Ford truck.
Sprint Verizon did a hard reset last night and left me with a partial phone. Most everything is working properly now even though I lost all of my contacts, pictures, and music. And forget about using an Exchange email client if my phone is any indicator. Finally, my battery life is still suspect since there are 15 apps running in the background. I even downloaded the Advanced Task Killer Froyo but even it won't kill the apps. I do hard stops and the apps still run.
Suffice it to say that you do not own this phone after 2.2 is installed - It owns you. I hate to say it but I'm tempted to root it so that I am in control of the phone....

Who is Happy with their Apple Bluetooth? (the brand name one)

I am very pleased with it and I was wondering who else has had good experiences/ found neat things about it.

I am quite happy with my Apple iPhone Bluetooth headset. No noise and the range is solid to about 10 feet with a noisy connection out to about 15 feet. I have noticed that when carrying in my pocket or my Incase leather belt case that I do have range problems if the antenna is facing toward my body rather than away from my body. The antenna is on the dock connector end and is covered with the black plastic piece.
Carry with the glass face toward your body and that will take care of it. I also have a Motorola HS300 and their range is quite similar but the Motorola has more clicks and pops. The Apple has been quite noise free. I have even used it while riding the bicycle and wind noise has not been a problem unless riding into the wind.
A friend of mine in Florida received his this week and uses it regularly on iChat with an Intel iMac. He had been using a Jawbone but the Jawbone is not as clear as the Jawbone when talking to him. The range is about the same between the two on the iMac.
These are the only two I am personally aware of but both of us are quite happy with them. He uses his with his iMac and I use mine with my iPhone.

Shuffle 3g - Anyone who is happy with it?

I have recenlty ordered an iPod shuffle 3rd generation as a gift for a relative.
The thing is on its way, as the birthday party will be in a week or so.
Now before buying this little ipod I forgot to check on here and see if there were any problems with the device...and I'm truly upset abourt this moisture problem.
The person who is going to get my present is not a runner or anything but I'm sure she intends to use it at the gym sometimes and also at the beach or on a bike ride...
I'm really worried about this whole thing and I'm afraid I betetr return it as soon as I get without waiting for any testing time. Eeven people who bought the ipod recenlty experienced that problem..so I guess that in a whole year they still didn't fix the earbuds.
Anyone in here who had succesful experiences?

I bought one early, took it on a trip and temporarily used the iPod headphones since no adapter was available at that time. I ran into the sweat problem in Glendale, AZ, and using plastic wrap and scotch tape from the kitchen of one restaurant covered the controls and stopped the moisture problem.
But that was only temporary anyway, I was waiting to buy this:
http://scosche.com/products/sfID1/210/sfID2/343/productID/1726
That lets me use my Ultimate Ears and Sennheiser Sport headphones or any others with it and I have not had any problems at the gym. And I do sweat a lot.
Quite happy with the combination, glad not to be using the Apple earbuds.

So is there anyone on here who is HAPPY with their ipod classic?

i recently purchased a 160gb ipod classic (the black model) and i'm thinking about returning it based upon the overwhelming negative posts i've read about it on here. i still have not removed the item from its packaging so have not yet experienced either good or bad results. i already own a 30 and 80gb 5th gen which have both proven totally reliable but i'll need to sell them both in order to cover the $350 expense of the classic. with all of the horror stories i've read on here about the classic, i'm thinking of taking it back and just sticking with my trusty ol' 5th gens. any advice?

Jeff,
I am happy with mine, but
1) it's my first,
2) I can afford it, and
3) I'm basing my opinion on my own experience, rather than that of a discussions board.
I'm a little lost as to how you could buy one if you can't afford it, why you'd get one when you already have two, and how you could buy one without opening it. If I were you, I'd take it back, but then, I may not have bought it in the first place, or at least not until I had sold the others.
Good luck,
Tim

Who is happy with Spot and Patch?

First let me say that I'm thrilled almost completely with Aperture in general. It pretty much solidified my transition to digital from film. I have a long workflow history with scanned slides and photoshop so I am quite used to and adept at spotting and patching my shots with their wonderful healing brush, clone tool, etc. I was excited about the prospects of using aperture for all the minute details that go into a workflow but the one glaring shortcoming is the spot and patch tool. I find the spot tool does a very bad job of using surrounding details to fill in a spot. You get a circular blur that might be accurate color wise but retains no detail. This is very apparent on skin. It's pretty much unusable. And the patch tool is a poor substitute for cloning. No matter what I do I cannot get it to blend in, I always see the circle.
I know what you all are going to say, just shoot it over to photoshop. This is what I've been doing but it really causes the size of your library to grow since you don't get the advantages of the smaller RAW file size.
Maybe in Aperture 2.0? Any one have any thoughts.

I've had very good success with the Spot and Patch tool, but you have to be very careful about the areas you work with. Chad's advice is very good---read the PDF. Note that the PDF says at the very outset under "Spotting Your Images"--"When the area around the blemish is continuous (such as a solid color) and doesn’t contain a distinct texture, you can use the spotting method to obscure the blemish by integrating the pixels that surround it."
In my experience, that advice is critical. Spotting and patching replace pixels with other pixels. Ideally, what you want to do is have Aperture take out an anomolous set of pixels (they don't match their surrounding pixels, hence they create a spot) and replace these pixels with ones that have the same characteristics of the surrounding pixels. So, for example, if the spot is in the middle of a very varied area, Aperture has trouble determining what you want as a replacement for the offending area.
The PDF tells us a lot about how to adjust the spotting and patching when the conditions for the operation are not ideal.

Is there someone really happy with his new iMac 20"?

I mean, someone who hasn't got issues, in any way?
I've just ordered the alu iMac 20" and I cannot wait to receive it...I've seen it in the store and I don't care 'bout the "gradient effect" since i'll use it for recording audio...but reading these boards is not really encouraging...
Excuse my english,
thank you.

Yes there are plenty of us who are happy with them, it's just that the unhappy are far far more likely to be posting about it. There are even a few posting negatively about them who don't even have one! It is a distorted representation.
I use mine for pro audio. It works very well thanks, and as for the gradient..
The weird effect at the top corners is my cameras lens. Every screen I take with it looks the same (Dell DVI 18" screens, TVs)

Who is happy

So who is happy with the lollipop upgrade? I have not done it myself, all the negative post have kept me from doing it!

As I have stated many times before all of these issues were known issues well before this update was released. Meaning when Google released these updates the Nexus devices had the same exact issues and worse. Thus, why would a company release the update if the update was known to have issues....because it seems manufacturers are lazy and carriers (especially Verizon) are extremely lazy.
And yet we STILL get people who keep posting such things as "why are we waiting so long for the update, why doesn't Verizon release it already??????" When Verizon sends the update back to the manufacturer to fix problems in the update, Verizon gets blamed for holding things up. When the update is released with problems Verizon is blamed for releasing a flawed update. Possibly Verizon is tired of listening to all of the whiners and gives them what they want, an update they may or may not have problems with.
A factory reset of my phone fixed any problems I have had with the update, I am happy to wait for Verizon to release the update and try my best to ignore all of the whiners.

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.

I have an older version of Adobe Digital Editions (around 3 years old) and was very happy with it.
Then I had problems with my Kobo Reader and asked a friend who works in IT to assist. She could not fix the Kobo but she messed up my Addobe. She downloaded version three and I have an account and a password - was not able to transfer my books from my reader to version three (and I don't like the lay-out - I would prefer to stay with the old version as I also loose all my download date info..)
But all the books I have bought over the last three years are in the old Adobe Digital and I cannot access them any more. When I use it I get the message "that the document is licensed to a different account. I can't even open the books on my computer.
When I go to my Kobo library, I cannot also not open my books and get the message "this doc is protected by adobe digital rights management and is not currently authorized for use with your adobe. please sign in with your authorized adobe id and try again"
I believe the problem is that I do not seem to have a digital id for my old adobe or that the Kobo is not in sync with it anymore.
can you please help me - going on vacation in three days and cannot go without books.

Please authorize ADE 3 with same credentials that you used with older version of ADE

You are not addressing Apple here.
No, once you install iOS 7 that is it.

For those who bought the matte screen option, are you happy with it?

Hello,
I'm planning on getting a new Macbook Pro 15" and wanted to know if those who have the matte screen option are happy with it? Cosmetically does it look bad?
Wondering whether to get the matte option or just buy one with the glossy screen and then buy an anti glare cover to go over it? The laptop I'm used to is my sister's older Powerbook which is matte but lately I'm always on her white Macbook which is glossy. I know when I've used it outdoors it's a pain and if I watch TV shows on it I have to adjust the screen to see it just right.
So I thought I'd get others opinions. I don't have to have matte for work or anything but it's just my preference glare wise.

I have a pair of 17" MBP's, the one from last year in glossy, and the new one (i7 2010 model) in matte. The main reason I got the matte is because that was the only 17" i7's that were in stock at the Apple Store...I've never had a very strong opinion gloss vs. matte.
After close to a week, my eyes are liking the matte screen better. I also think the overall quality of the display is better...maybe my new one has a higher-quality panel than what my 2009 MBP has. Neither of them look "bad", but the I definitely enjoy looking at the images on the matte screen more. Also losing most of the reflections from the keyboard lighting is very nice in certain situations.
I believe the matte screen makes the lid overall slightly less rigid. People who do careless stuff like opening/adjusting the lid by grabbing it from near one of the corners might find it easier to damage the matte screen that way.

1TB External Hard Drive, Who Has One That They're Happy With?

Hi, I'm looking to get a 1tb external hard drive to store video, and was wondering if anyone was super happy with their's? I was looking at the Maxtor One Touch III, Lacie, or WD external hard drives??? Any advice would be awesome. Thanks.
Dan

I have used the Lacie 1TB drive for backup use only, which it works well for.. However, a few people I have met have mentioned that the pre-RAIDed drives like these always have issues and will cause trouble in the future with heavy use..
So what are you using it for? Backup, or heavy daily read/write work, because apparently this is important for those drives.

I am happy with the CC format- it works for me

There are a million and one negative threads about the new CC stuff. But I wanted to start a thread with a different tone.
I realize that the majority of those in the forum probably see the CC change as a negative one. And in complete honesty, I understand their reasons, and even AGREE with them. The lack of an exit strategy from the cloud is a problem, though Adobe does say they are working on a solution. The place I work has no plans on upgrading to CC, though it's only maybe 10 users that are affected.
But on a personal level, the CC option is a huge blessing to me. Though I do work in an environment where software is provided for me(we're currently on CS 5.5), with a new baby on the way and daycare costs taking up half my salary, I am ramping up my freelance business again as sometime in the next year, I'll probably become a stay at home dad.
I've never been able to afford the Adobe suites outright. My wife and I do have a certain amount of personal money set aside each month to spend, but it's very difficult to come up with enough to purchase the suites.
So when I saw that I could get everything for $30 a month for the first year(I do have a CS3 or above product registered), I was very happy. As somebody trying to get my freelance business running full speed again, this is a perfect opportunity for me to get into the Adobe software outside of my place of employment. And if things go well, the $50 a month after that won't be a problem. If I'm not making enough to afford $50 a month, then I'm probably not running the best business and probably won't be needing the tools for long.
So this arrangement works perfectly for me. I do web design AND video/motion graphics editing, so having everything at my disposal is ideal.
So in the sea of negativity that exists here in the forums(and not for bad reasons), I just wanted to say that I'm happy with this. Adobe have provided a way for me, who doesn't have a ton of money flowing in, to get into the great tools I already know and love. And in my view, at least temporarily, if I'm finding success, the continued fee is more than justifiable. So I want to say thank you to Adobe for providing this opportunity.
Now, if I can please ask that this thread doesn't turn into yet another one of the already extensive number of threads bashing CC, and hopefully others who are thankful for this plan can chime in. Maybe nobody will, but I'm sure there are others out there. I just don't want this to degenerate into the same thing you can read in every other topic. Yes, I know that when I want to get off "the cloud", there are things to consider. I'm aware, and I accept that. Let's leave it at that.
Thanks!

The pros and cons of to CC or not to CC have been done to death
Its a fact the CC model will work for some, especially newbies and small businesses.
The risks associated with the CC model have been well documented.
For long term users of CS perpetuals its generally a large hike up in cost compared to the upgrade system.
Then there are the....... Adobe can rot it hell...... group who will never subscribe
To each their own, you do the math to suit your cashflow whatever that is and then make an informed decision
To those on the CC model, I'd like to offer some practical advice.........do not allow automatic updates.........make regular backups............develop an exit strategy of alternatives for when you can no longer afford the subscription costs............never ever assume that the Adobe update is bug free
Enjoy your cloud
Col
Thank you for that post, and the advice. I just happen to be one of those who it does work for. I've been around long enough to know that CC isn't going to work for everyone(the large publishing/radio/web company I work for isn't upgrading to CC because of the costs involved). But it does for me as I potentially venture out into the full-time freelancing world and away from the more structured big office environment. I can't make decisions based on what is best for anyone else, or what will hurt or help Adobe. Just what affects me, and that's all.

How do I change the background colour on notes. I need a darker background due to a visual issue. Apple has now discriminated those with visual issues. I am so not happy with many of the new changes because of this.

I am so not happy with the new changes especially when it come to the ability to change background colours, fonts and font sizes/ colours... Does Apple really think that their only audience is the young cool crowd or people who do not have a visual impairment. Think before you make changes to your software and programs. You WILL lose more people to androids if you continue this way.
At least give users the ability to make apps like notes their owned by allowing them to pick the style, theme, background and colour, font size and colour.
A very ****** off Apple user who is now looking at Androids.

Hi Tricia,
I'm sorry but I don't see an ideal way to do this. Is it the yellow label text, e.g: "New" against the white background which is causing the difficulty?
The only way I've found of getting the colors to change in Notes is via Settings>General>Accessibility>Invert Colors but then it looks like something has barfed all over your screen.
I'd be very, very surprised if Apple do not fix this, firstly because I believe "Accessibility" is a legal matter and secondly because they will not want to cause difficulty for their customers. We have to remember that this is a major, major overhaul of iOS, it has essentially been taken back to the drawing board and done from scratch again, it may take a little time, but I'm sure they will fix these issues.

Steve

Yahoo is my home page and now that I have downloaded your latest version, as stated in a note from you the tool bar is incompatible. So....how do I print or save a web page if I don't have my tool bar!! I'm not happy with this - please help.

You've moved stuff around so the tabs are at the top instead of my tool bar. I no longer have the means then to copy and paste, print, etc. when I pull up information I might want to keep from a web page. When I downloaded Version 4 a message came across from Firefox that the newer version is not compatible with the Yahoo toolbar. How then do I operate these functions? I'm not a techie, and was happy with my old Firefox. Not a happy camper now. Can you help???

iPHP
Wow! You know, I tried a variation of that, which was a complete guess, and of course it was absolutely wrong.
I had no idea you could stack DATE_FORMAT one after the other! I researched this for a LONG time and nothing came up like what you suggested, so thank you for this! I hope that this thread helps others who are or will soon be in my shoes. This forum is the BEST!!!
And of course, it works like a charm. Thank you.
Many incredibly sincere thanks,
