Why did Apple change the color labels of folders in 10.9.2?

What's the purpose of a dot when I can't even see them?
THE IDEA is to highlight a folder so you can easily find it.
I'm all for aesthetics but this is a change of practical design. It's annoying.

Also for the bug that iTunes doesn't minimize when I double-click the top edge of the window.
It isn't a bug, it's a feature.
Actually, I kinda like the improvements to the "miniplayer" thing, even though it isn't the same thing as minimizing the app. The only thing I don't like about the miniplayer is the tiny, hard to hit icon used to toggle it on & off, but if I can just remember the Cmd-Option-M shortcut for that I'm OK with that too.
I wouldn't mind filling out a survey before they (Apple) curtained features.
After hanging around ASC for a few years, I have realized that almost everybody has very different ideas about the usefulness of just about every feature Apple has ever implemented. If Apple listened to users, I suspect we would end up with an OS so bloated it wouldn't even be able to crawl, much less run, on most Macs, & the user preferences alone would have so many options nobody could find the ones they wanted without help.
Actually, I think that may already be happening ... but I'm sure everybody has a different opinion about that, too!

  • Why did Apple change the incoming caller photo Id to a small picture in a small circle instead of the large full screen picture when calls are received?  This is useless.  If it isnt cchanged back to the way it was I am done with the iphone.  Hello Galaxy

    This will be my last iphone if thhis minor software issue is not cleared up.  I hate the new caller ID incoming picture.  Too small

    We are all users like yourself. No one here is an employee or representative of Apple. We cannot know why the photo of the incoming caller was changed. We can only say that it is what it is. If that feature change is enough to make you want to change phones then get the phone that best suits your needs. In the meantime you can send feedback to Apple here:

  • Why O Why did Apple removed the sidebar colors?

    Why O Why did Apple removed the sidebar colors in the new Aperture update? I used those colors to organize my workflow.
    Everything is Greyscale now. Isn't Photography all about colors? If I wanted a greyscale user interface I would have bought a PC ...

    It's the new design since Lion - Iphoto already has gone gray before Aperture See these links:

  • In the latest iOS updates, did Apple change the way Airplay communicate with other devices through Wifi?

    Short :
    In the latest iOS updates, did Apple change the way Airplay communicate with other devices through Wifi?
    Detailed:
    We had a glitch with our Apple TV 3A 3-4 weeks ago and had to factory reset it (we reconfigured it with the exact same configuration than before the crash), it's now running iOS 7.0.2, I can't saw which version it ran before the problem though.
    It's used in a business environment with 30+ iPads 2, half of them are updated to 8.1.1 and the other half to 8.1.2. We use the latest iTunes version.
    Before the glitch that required a reset, all the iPads were detecting and mirroring when needed to the Apple TV, but now the iPads don't see the Apple TV in their list of Airplay devices anymore (but they detect various other devices inside our network).
    I have to add that our Apple TV is able to navigate the movie store correctly, so I assume that it's not an internet restriction issue from our end (also, the APple TV do not see either any of the many iPads on its device-detection screen.
    We successfully connected an iPhone 5S and an iPhone 6 through P2P Airplay, so it's not the issue, but when we connected the iPhones to our Wifi network (Same as all the other devices are using) the Apple TV suddenly disappeared from the choices.
    Hence the reason why I inquire to the possibility that some changes were made in one of the latest iOS revisions, if so, we would require some details so we can adjust our Wifi configuration accordingly to allow the proper detection of devices.
    P.S. I tried the basic troubleshooting of Airplay problems with no avail. Airplay button is displaying on the control panel, Airplay do not show the Apple TV at all (so it's not either the trick to display the Mirroring button), we also already proceeded to the suggested devices reboots, so my issue is quite more complex I believe.
    Thanks in advance.

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

  • Did Apple changed the Expose & Dashboard keys in the MacBook Pro?

    The new MacBook Air came with two new keys, mission control and launchpad. Did Apple changed the keys in the MacBook Pro they are selling or are they selling them with no change, because since now the dashboard is in a different place the key is useless.

    No they did not, but I fell like they should replace the icons on F3 and F4 since they are so much easier to get to using gestures.

  • Why did Apple omit the Panorama feature in Camera on the Ipad, when they did the IOS6 update?

    Why did Apple omit the Panorama feature in Camera on the Ipad, when they did the IOS 6 Update? They included this feature on the iPod touch (5th gen) so why not on the iPad?

    I was on vacation in a national park and saw people using their iPads as a video camera...one of them standing in the  middle of a 'river' (read really large stream) at the time.
    I'm going to also go with the supposition of it being a different camera and probably different video handling processor. The iPhone is quite far ahead of the iPad camera wise, so probably has better protocols in place to handle images, especially something as complex as the 'live photo stitch' of the panorama.
    many existing cameras take what the panorama was, a 'photo stitch' where mulitple side by side photos are stitched together into one large panorama. This just appears to do it 'live' instead of individual shots that need to be processed on a comptuer to make the panorama.

  • Why did you change the way a current program is recorded?

    Why did you change the way a current program is recorded? Now I can only record a show from the time I press record not from the beginning. So if I turn on the TV and a show has already started, I can no longer record it from the beginning as I did in the past. As much money as I pay shouldn't I have the option to choose?

  • Why on earth did apple replace the color icons in aperture with monochrome icons!

    I really do not like the look of the new monochrome icons. The interface looks broken and buttons are hard to find. Why did apple do this? Please Apple, give users a choice between monochrome and color icons!

    Look at the more like this at the right of this post. There are many threads on this.

  • In Lion, why did Apple remove the up/down arrows in the scroll bars?  There is currently no way to move up and down in small increments.  WHY????

    Every mac operating system software until Lion had the ability to use up/down arrows in the scroll bar.  This makes it easy to move up and down in small increments.  In Lion, it is impossible to move up and down in small increments.  Click on the scroll bar and it moves up or down an entire page.  When you try to put the curser on the scrollbar and move it up just a little, it moves a whole bunch.  With the up/down arrows, you can click on the arrow and it will scroll ulp or down one line a time.  There is no way to do this in Lion. Why would apple remove the very useful feature of up and down arrows.

    Yes, agreed a missing element.
    Did you try using the up / down arrows on the key board.

  • Why did you change the event calendar?

    I updated my phone and now I can only have one alert on my calendar for an event. I was putting in an event and having an alert one day before and then one hour before. Why did you change it?

    Just FYI, "we" didn't change anything. You're not communicating with Apple when you post here, and you will not get a response from them. We're all just fellow users.

  • When will apple change the color grey and white?

    I may be color blind and have trouble seeing certain colors but that doesn't make colors a bad thing thing for itunes. One reason I don't like using to much my itunes is for the fact I can't change the color. It's rather a big issue for me because I can't stare at my screen since the white and grey just really hurts my eyes. I would think a glossy black or maybe color adjustment would do so much for itunes. I think it would make itunes so much more attractive and wonderful to look at. and lastly I really don't like the fact that I can't play any files i purchase from itunes in my windows player. NO device I have allows me to watch it any bigger then how it looks and I'm really not liking this! I regret purchasing from iTunes now. Can iTunes take away that M4v video stuff because then I might as well buy it from Amazon is it won't be any use on my computer because like how I explain iTunes grey white color is really unnattractive and I just don't like playing videos nor music files on it. THANK YOU! and I hope to look for changes

    Just us users here. Nobody knows what Apple is going to do, or when they might or might not do it.

  • Since Lion upgrade, can not change the colored label of my HD in the Finder

    ... the "Macintosh HD" icon has the Label section grayed out when I select 'Get Info'.
    I can only change the color of the USB attached disks.
    Also, before the upgrade to Lion, I was able to assign colored labels to the attached network shares, in Snow Leopard; now I can see the label colors I've assigned when using Snow L. by I can not modify then anymore...
    Any ideas?
    Thank you in advance.

    Thank you for the reply.
    Lock was closed. It open after authentication, but the word "Label" is still gray and can not select a color label.
    On the "Sharing and Permissions" have the folowing:
      "You can only read"
      "system - Read & Write"
      "wheel - Read only"
      "everyone - Read only"
