Why is the new OS is limiting for apps?

One issue I'm finding is that because of the new OS, there are compatibility issues with many of the apps which are available for most other BB models . I choose the BB for certain reasons, but one in particular was the app "Shazam". Being a musician and music enthusiast, it is a very useful app.
All I'm getting from the support team at "Shazam" and Sprint is that this model is not compatible.
Looks like it's on you, Blackberry to resolve this. Will this problem ever get fixed? Considering how I just upgraded my phone, I'm seriously considering an exchange for one of the android phones.
Sincerely,
Alex

Actually, it's not on BlackBerry at all, it's on the app makers.
Just like when Microsoft introduces a new O/S, it's the software makers that have to update their software to be compatible with it.
App makers want their apps to be compatible with as many models as possible (for financial reasons) so they will update the apps when it makes financial sense i.e. enough people are using the new phones to make it worthwhile.
I've found that bank apps are typically slower to update, due to the security concerns involved.
The best thing to do is let the makers of Shazam know that you want an updated app then wait it out from there.

You can get Flash CC to publish to version 9 player by putting these two files in these locations:
This file: http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/5510986-147069/Fl ashPlayer9_0.xml
Goes here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CC\Common\Configuration\Players\FlashPlayer9_0.xml
This file: http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/5510986-147068/pl ayerglobal.swc.zip
Goes here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CC\Common\Configuration\ActionScript 3.0\FP9\playerglobal.swc
You may need to create the FP9 folder.
Restart flash and you should see Player 9 in your publish options. You'll have to find the AS3 clickTag code.

D.p.middleton the Adobe Application Manager has been available for quite some time. It not only allows Creative Cloud users to install their applications but also downloads and applies applicable updates. In addition it is also responsible for the licensing and managing your agreement to the terms and conditions of the EULA.
2. this could be due to you selecting a trial subscription to the Creative Cloud? If you go to one of the Adobe Creative products and select Help>Updates it will launch the update portion of the Adobe Application Manager which I believe is the portion you are looking for?
#3 I believe this was already mostly covered in the answer to #2.
#4 the Adobe Application Manager also receives periodic updates which affects both perpetual and Creative Cloud subscription users.
I hope this provides you many of the answers you are looking for? If not please feel free to respond back with any additional inquiries which you have. Also if you are experiencing any difficulties with the update process please post this as well. It may not be necessary to have a full understanding of the inner workings of the Adobe Application Manager to help you resolve your difficulties.

Why does the new Itunes freeze/do nothing when i click on my Ipod touch icon ?

Why does the new Itunes freeze when i click on my Ipod touch icon to manage my content? All buttones, video, tv, info, music, they all do nothing. i was only able to sync by bringing up the old sidebar. Is this a software glitch, or am i missing a step? I just spent two days reorganizing and labeling all my music for the new itunes, and had to restore my ipod so i could upload my new library. i know what is supposed to come up when you click on the music or info tabs, but nothing happens, only the eject button works. whats going on?

The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer with iTunes with the USB connector. iTunes should open and give you instructions as to what to do. Whatyou need to need to do is to restore the iPod via iTunes.

Might be an incompatible extension or plugin ...
Try troubleshooting Safari extensions and third party plugins.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

Why is the new firefox constantly blinking on my screen? everything else is fine but firefox now blinks and is unusable in 4.0

why is the new firefox constantly blinking on my screen? everything else is fine but firefox now blinks and is unusable in 4.0

Hi DGuerra, based on a past thread, the missing comments may be related to using avast! and its browser add-on(s).
Firefox is so easy to customize that it's not really surprising to find differences between two systems. These can relate to the menu choices (orange Firefox button or classic menu bar), toolbar layouts, and of course, add-ons.
If you have a preference for one setup versus another, hopefully these articles can equalize some of those layout issues:
* [[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar]]
* [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]]
You can compare extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions.
Perhaps you can get the two side-by-side to make it easier, or to extract a text list, you can use the troubleshooting information page. Either:
* Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
The button in the upper left corner "Copy text to clipboard" will grab the configuration information from entire page.

Why does the new version not have back-up disc in the library file? And how do I fix it?

Why does the new version of i-tunes not have back-up to disc in the library file? And how do I fix it?

Fast backup for iTunes library (Windows)
Grab SyncToy 2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time.
If your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes, regardless of the drive letter or path it appears on.
Step-by-step guide to using SyncToy.

Why is the new Griffin Powerjolt lightning car charger 10W?

I know the answer, so they can sell it for both Ipad and Iphone. But if the Apple iphone charger is 5W, then why is the new Griffin Powerjolt SE charger allowed to be listed as OK for Iphone? If the Iphone were supposed to be charged at 10W, then Apple would have supplied a 10W charger.

Now that I have done a more thorough evaluation of available info, it appears that as long as the voltage is the same (which it is) then it will draw at only the amperage that it requires, meaning no problem. Thanks.

Why does the new version 5 of firefox show up all the graphics on web sites with a huge wide black border?

Why does the new version 5 of firefox show up all the graphics on my web sites with a huge wide black border? They should be narrow and yellow!! I use iWeb for my web sites on an AppleMac iMac 22" wide screen.

That is unfortunately a bug only in Firefox 5 and will be fixed in Firefox 6 (Aug).

Why is the new CC Library not included in Indesign ?

Hello,
Why is the new CC Library not included in InDesign ?
It works great between Photoshop and Illustrator but now I really miss this feature in Indesign.

Don't know why, but CC Library is a totally different thing compared with InDesign's own library format stored in *.indl files. So I suggest, that you'll make a feature request here:
Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
Hope, that it will work again today. Heard, some users had problems with the bug report form yesterday…
(For the "why": Sometimes the developer teams of the individual CC products do not talk to each other that much, I think.)
