Why did they change the shape of IPAD AIR? This isnt practical

i've noticed that typing on the new ipad air is a burden and hurts my hand because they have made the width larger than previous models.
I really wish they would leave well enough alone.
Anyone else have this issue when typing on an ipad air?

Add me to the list as someone who is beyond happy with the new size of iPad Air. It's the single best change to the device yet! And to the OP, maybe your ruler has different measurements than mine. iPad Air is not wider than previous devices.

Why did they change the iphone 5 charger?

I am pretty annoyed that apple changed the charging port on the new iphone 5. Now all of my charging and docking stations are pretty much worthless and I have heard nothing but bad things about the adapter they make from the new lightening port to a 30pin dock.
Anybody else having this issue or found a working solution? I hate carrying around tons of adapter cables.
I feel like I am the fool for buying the newest apple products. I am now regreting supporting apple so much in this case.

Your Right. Now people have to buy new docks and everything. The adapter will break your phone or itself real easy and the charger is to small.
Apple is turning into a pc company. You have either a PC or Mac now there the same. Stop making basic mistakes to turn a buck.

Why did they change the size of the icalendar (now 10x13")?

I just received the first icalendar I created for Christmas gifts and it is HUGE!! Why? No need IMHP. They now require so much wall or counter space. I personally like the original size. Your thoughts?

In contacts why did they change the search view we used to be able to see more contacts per screen?

I have used a 7520 and an 8700 now I have an 8300 and I am sad to say the contacts view looks more like pocket pc then the traditional easy to see blackberry view where you could see many contacts easy on the screen . The old way when you were searching for a contact the search results would show one line per contact instead of the contact taking up two lines...when viewing on the screen. when you can view one contact per line you can see more contacts is there a way to get back to the old view where you would see one line per contact when keyword searching in contacts?

IOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change ?

iOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network, i.e. connected to the same wired/wireless router. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change this ? Means that the iPad and the Apple TV box both have to be in range of the wireless router when this wasn't a restriction before. Apple TV could be anywhere as long as it was connected to the same wireless router via ethernet cable. Seems like an unnecessary thing to restrict.

I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem. The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6. (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

Why did they change itunes. i do not like it. miss the album scroll

why did they change itunes. i do not like it. miss the album scroll and ablum cover in bootom corner.

I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
Ctrl+B to turn on the menu bar
Ctrl+S to turn on the sidebar (your device should be listed here as before)
Ctrl+/ to turn on the status bar
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
Should you still feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

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?

Scrolling - why did they change it?

Why did they reverse touch pad scrolling with OS X Lion? The old way seemed perfectly reasonable and intuitive. I guess I can get used (eventually) the reverse, but why the change? Instead of using my fingers to move my window up and down over the doucment, I now use my fingers to move the document up and down below my window. I really don't like it. Did they ask anybody before they made this change?
Hey! Who moved my Cheese!!!!
Tombo
(sort of like Rambo, only different)

Because they are trying to do away with the scroll bar on the right side of document windows. The old way the "scroll device" was conceptually linked to the indicator in the scroll bar so to scroll down you were trying to move the indicator (in the scroll bar) downward by pulling your finger towards yourself.
The new way is doing away with the scroll bar and linking the "scroll device" to the document itself. So now when you want to scroll down you do it by pushing the document upward (by pushing your finger away from yourself).

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.

Why did they change Pages icon??? - it was the most beautiful I ever saw!

I wonder why version 5.0.1 of Pages (that which comes with the new Mavericks OS has been changed. The previous one (an ink bottle with a stylographic pen) was the most beautiful icon I have ever seen. I particularly appreciated the transparency of the glass! And the icon was also functional, so different from anything else in shape and color and so nicely contrasted resulting in high visibility.
Can someone tell the reason of this choice? Can I get back to the previous version of Pages (keeping the new OS) to have my beloved icon back?
thanks
Dario

I suspect that they simply changed the icon so that it was clear you were using version 5 of Pages and not the earlier version.
I agree that the new version is lacking many of the advanced options of the old version but I am sticking with it and finding ways to do most things I need to in the new version.
As I share password protected files with others using Word on Windows PC's, the new facility to password protect .doc files and then open them in pages is a godsend. I spent half my life borrowing my wife's laptop to add passwords to documents via word, or strip passwords so I could work on the documents in Pages. Now no longer have this issue Hurrah!!
By the way, if you had Pages before and have installed the new Pages 5.0.1, then look in you applications folder, you should have the old version still there and can use it without needing to do a time-machine rollback.

Why on earth did they change the selection tool key commands?

Am I crazy? I've been using AI for over a decade, and thought I had the keystrokes down to second nature by now. But now every time I try to use keystrokes to switch temporarily to the select, direct select, and group select tools, everything is constantly coming out wrong. This is just confusing the hell out of me. Am I getting Alzheimer's already? Or did they really change something that core to how we work minute by minute? If the latter, what in the name of God inspired that?

jonf:
The logic is trying to keep keyboard shortcuts consistent between products in the Suite. That way you don't have to remember 4 or 5 different shortcut sets.
You can go into your Keyboard Shortcuts and remap them to a great extent. Like I switched my Direct Selection Tool from no shortcut to Shift-A and the Measure Tool to Shift-H like in the olden days. Save your set and you're good!
Have fun!
PS: I hope I understood your issue correctly 8^)

Why did they change this forum area

From what I see here and from what I read in the rumors columns, Apple is making wholesale changes in everything. The old forum was very easy for me to use and I could find what I needed and ask questions and get answers. Things here are far less intuitive.
Is there any way we can get them to go back to the old ways? I really know the answer before I ask it. From what I've seen Steve Jobs has a vision of what things should be. Sometimes he is right and at other times he is not. But right or wrong, he is the autocrat and the customers are made to like it. Or what? I really cannot imagine going back to the Windows world and I don't find the Linux world with a many ready made profession applications as I find in Apple or even Windows. Gimp is a great product. But it still doesn't touch Photoshop (even Elements) or Aperture or Lightroom. I don't see those apps on Linux.
I know this sounds like heresy, but if you had heard about some of the things I've heard about Lion, many of you would (will) shudder. It is like they are taking my 24" iMac with 8 GB of RAM and TBs of hard drive and making it into a large model iPad. I love the iPad. But it doesn't do the jobs I need to do nor for the jobs it does, does it do as well. Someday, I see the world of iPad and the full size Mac merging. But they aren't there yet, but they are treating it as if they had. We ARE NOT in a POST PC (a Mac is also a Personal Computer just not a Windoz computer) world. We are moving there.

I've compared the iPad 2 to the Kindle and the Nook. I have two daughters and each have one of them. They are very impressive and the eInk is quite impressive. If I needed to read in natural light more, I would be dependant on eInk. But that is not the case. I use a lot of apps, and btw, none of the apps I've installed are games - I don't have the time or energy for gaming. I work a very complicated schedule and I found an iPhone / iPad add that keeps track of it very well so I can tell what days I work two months from now when setting up the next doctor's appointment. My Banks and my credit card companies have very nice applications for managing these as well as Pay Pal. Applications that let me play my favorite radio stations on my iPad or iPhone. Accordance bible program which is by far the best Bible study program and research tool out there works very well on the iPad and with some crowding on the iPhone. the reduced capability iWorks (Numbers and Pages) that let me do certain work on my iPad. Has been very valuable. Applications which help me find the next bus in a city and find its expected arrival time at a particular stop. These are only a quick list of the things I like the most that I have here. Android is a challenge but for now, Android suffers from versions. Many people cannot load the latest version of Android because of details of the hardware platform they have. I remember those days with Windows on non-IBM hardware very painfully. Linus also suffers that problem too because some of the big PC makers (HP in particular) sell hardware that took so many shortcuts that drivers for Linux are not available. Android is something to watch and some people are quite happy with it. The disadvantage it has is that without the control Apple exerts on what can be loaded on non-jail broken iOS devices, malware can creep in even more easily. But Android itself isn't currently offering EInk as far as I know.
I expect the EInk devices will move in time into the tablet market. It is an obvious move. But the investment to do that and the low success rate from a number of courageous companies is daunting. The only explanation I have for Apple's dominance is that they were the fastest to the market and their products do seem to work as advertised with a few well advertised missteps.
