Why did Apple ruin iWork? How do I downgrade back to 09'?
The new iWork is a major major major major dissappointment. I'm so let down by Apple. Perhaps it was their goal to bolster 3rd parties like MS Office, cause that's what I was just forced to use again . . . .

Now Apple really gave me another good definition of "There is no such a free lunch."
This new "free" iWork really cost me a terrible headache, huge time lost, and horrible frustration. No time to give Apple feedback because I am busy fixing all my iWork's files.
Upgrade should be adding new better features to what already exist.

  • I sync my purchase from store to ipod now all my music and games are gone why did this happen and how doi get them back?

    i sync my purchases to my ipod now all my music is gone and my games are gone too how can i get them back?

    You most likely synced your iPod to a different iTunes then you previously synced it with.  You won't be able to get all of your music back unfortunately unless you had it backed up.
    Sorry!

  • I recently saved my contacts in iCloud and now all of my contacts are on my daughters phone. I only wanted them saved to my PC. Why did this happen and how can I fix it? Is it because she downloaded the update to her phone?

    I recently saved my contacts in iCloud and now all of my contacts are on my daughters phone. I only wanted them saved to my PC. Why did this happen and how can I fix it? Is it because she downloaded the update to her phone?

    Your daughter must have signed into your iCloud account, perhaps when she updated her phone.  You can confirm this by going to Settings>iClloud on her phone and seeing if she is using the same iCloud ID.
    To fix this you would need to migrate her phone to a separate iCloud account.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that she wishes to keep on your phone to her camera roll by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tapping the share icon (box with upware pointing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone.  This only deletes the account from her phone, not from iCloud; it won't effect your device(s).  When you delete the account you will be asked if you want to keep or delete the iCloud data from her phone.  If she needs to migrate a copy of the data to her new account, choose Keep; otherwise, choose Delete.  Then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create her new account and if migrating data to the new account, choose Merge when prompted.
    Once she is on a separate account, if she migrated a copy of the data to her new account you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into her new iCloud account and delete your data from her account.

  • 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:
    Re: After updating to Aperture 3.3 all my icons appears in Black and white. This includes the inspect button, photo stream button, the Facebook / flicker share button. Could you please help here ?
    How to bring back the color: (for experienced users only)
    Re: Have today loaded the 3.3 up date on Aperture. After the up date the colour of the Menu Bar and all icons showing projects / albums etc are now grey. Any thoughts on how to reestablish the colours.

    From your point of view and the framing of your question, Apple does indeed support WIndows better than Mac for the limited issue of iCloud.

    Historically speaking, Apple has rarely gone backwards in its OS development.  Once they have released a new OS with new technology, I can only think of one example of when they backtracked:  They released TrueType technology in System 7 and then released System 6.0.8, which included TrueType technology for continuing System 6 users.
    So it is part of their culture to move forward and not backwards.  Other examples:
    •  Inclusion of the then novel SONY 3.5" disk drive in its release of the first Macintosh (and not the industry standard 5.25" drive); after its use in the Lisa and adoption for the Apple II series of computers.
    •  Elimination of the floppy drive completely in the release of the first iMac.
    •  Use of then novel AAC audio compression as "state of the art" compression for the iPod release in 2001 instead of the outdated mp3 standard.
    •  Refusal to allow use of FLASH in iPod Touch/iPhone/iPads.
    How could they justify these decisions?  The marketplace justified them for Apple!
    So, yes, they could release 10.6.9 with iCloud support.  But why now, if not then?

    Is the MacBook the computer you have synced with in the past? If not you can use the computer that you have synced with to restore your apps. Are you sure you are using the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the Apps?

  • Why did Apple get rid of the DVD slot in the MacBook Pro

    Why did Apple get rid of the DVD slot in the MacBook Pro?

    Because relatively few people used it and Apple wanted to decrease the size/price of the computers.

  • Why did Apple raise its prices overnight by $200 on the iMac, including refurbished models.

    Other than greed and trying to narrow the spread between the price of the old iMacs and the just-announced new iMac, why did Apple raise its prices overnight by $200 on the iMac, including refurbished models? Their existing product component costs didn't increase overnight.

    why did apple mail get much worse with lion osx?  I can't add recipients without copy and paste?

    I went through updates on my three newest Macs this week.  As I stated I'm talking about iTunes 10.5.1 (42).  I am checking for updates now and I see 10.5.2 is now available.  I'll know in about 15 minutes if this issue is fixed or not.
    15 minutes later:
    I must have updated this PPC G5 a day or two before iTunes 10.5.2 came out.  I was able to update to 10.5.2 (11) and this copy/paste bug is fixed.  I'm happy again.

  • Why did Apple remove many of my songs from the cloud?

    Why did Apple remove many of my songs from the cloud?

    Maybe they don't have the same taste in music as you
    Apple don't make or 'own' songs - other companies allow Apple to sell them. Sometimes these rights owners remove the songs from the store. Apple can't do much about that. You should make backups of any purchases, since Apple cannot guarantee they will be available in future.

    After updating iPod Touch to iOs 5.0, I cannot get into Game Center with previous nickname.  The screen says my nickname is already in use by another account.  Why did this happen and how can I fix this so I can still use the same nickname?

    Did you haveany problem with updating to iOS 5? It soundsl like the update did not correctly restore from the backup that iTunes mnakes as the fisr step of the update.

  • Why did Apple discontinue iPhoto for iOS?

    Why did Apple discontinue iPhoto for iOS?
    This app offered great features such as the ability to format your pictures and journal and, add comments and context.
    It's disappointing to be forced to migrate away especially when this is a paid app ($4.99). Many other companies may stop supporting paid apps, but at least you can still use the apps.

    Apple did not say why, so we can only speculate.
    But have a look at what has changed in iOS 8. http://www.apple.com/ios/developer/
    The basic frameworks, that support image editing apps and any graphics apps have been completely replaced by newer frameworks, for example PhotoKit. Also, the Photos.app and its library are very different, with the Camera Roll being replaced by the "Recent Activity" album.
    iPhoto used "Photos" to access all photos on the device and did not them separately. The code would have needed to be completely rewritten. Probably, Apple did not want to develop iPhoto a second time, in addition to the new "Photos", but is relying on the third party developers to supplement Photos with extensions:
    PhotoKit
    Developers can enable their photo apps to edit photos directly in the Camera Roll without having to import them first.
    Photo Editing
    Developers can embed their filters and editing tools directly into the Photos app. So you could apply third‑party effects to images without leaving the app where you view your photos.

  • HT1771 why did apple erase ichat? its so much better than messages and now I cant video chat with my ichat buddies

    why did apple erase ichat? its so much better than messages and now I cant video chat with my ichat buddies!!!

    HI,
    Apple did not erase iChat.
    Messages in Mountain Lion is iChat +
    The plus bit is the fact you can iMessage iOS devices.
    All the other features that were in iChat are still there.
    If you upgraded Lion to get to Mountain Lion then in System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars you probably list all the iChat Accounts (Screen Names and IDs).
    You may need to enable them for Messages.
    They should also show up in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts
    Once those accounts (AIM and Jabber) are Enabled they can be viewed in a Combined Buddy List
    Windows Menu > Buddies (Or using CMD + 1 Keystrokes)
    In the General Section of the Preferences you can Unlink these Buddy lists.
    The Green icons or highlight a Buddy and then using the Buddies Menu or the icons at the Bottom of the Buddy list can be used the same way to start Video or Audio Only chats.
    The iMessage "Account" is only for texting iOS devices or other people using their Apple ID on a Mac in Messages.
    It is an account "in addition to" rather than "taking over from" the services that iChat can join.

  • Lanyard headphones: why did apple discontinue them for ipod nano?

    i'd love to purchase the new generation of ipod nano (i need more HD space on my 2nd gen ipod nano), but i have a basic need for the lanyard style headphones. i can't bring myself to wear the old style headphones (i have many bad memories of dropping the lanyard-less ipods).
    i have never had a problem with the lanyard design in the 4+ years that i've used them. why did apple stop production?
    and, more importantly, does apple have any plans to bring back lanyard headphones in the future?
    thank you.

    Since we are all end users like you, nobody here would have the answers to such questions.  Only apple knows.  Either way, I suggest you leave feedback to Apple through one of their feedback channels.
