Why upgrade for the sake of upgrading unless you're actually upgrading???? OS6 Calendar is worse than OS5

I'm pretty dissappointed..... the new OS6 calendar actually is far less convenient than the calendar in OS5. I like most other aspects of OS6, but the calendar to me has actually been downgraded.
How can I change back to the OS5 Calendar while staying with OS6?
Problems:
- in OS5's Calendar, I could actually view each hour/line items description and by viewing it actually know what my day/week looks like to be able to plan accordingly.
- OS6's calendar shows boxes with green dots. You have to scroll over and to view each agenda item which takes more time and is a pain in the _$$
- you can change the view to "Agenda" view, but then it doesn't give you available time slots in your day/week.
- with OS5 I could actually select a time of the day that's available and start typing my meeting/agenda/notes in the field. Now I have to click multiple times.
This really makes me wonder abouts RIM's development/upgrade process. DO they put a bunch of geeks in a room and say "how can we upgrade this?" Or do they get feedback from real users that use their devices as tools to make their lives easier? 
I would say don't upgrade and take features away from people. Why change something that works well? If you want to feel good about keeping up with the competition, make it better, not worse. Worst case, just change the colors if you want to make yourself feel better.
On the bright side, I really like the search functions in the new OS6. For the most part it's good. But that one down fall makes me want to downgrade to OS5, or take the leap and buy an Android.
Any ideas for me how to get back the OS5 calendar while keeping OS6????

  • Why is it impossible to buy the LR6 upgrade for the LR5 that I have bought one year ago?

    Hello, I have spent about four hours trying to get the LR6 upgrade for the perfectly legally bought LR5.
    Nothing is possible. The CC contract does not apply where I live.
    It is the only choice I have in France.
    The ID I got from Adobe when I last updated does not pass through.
    Well...I'll either do the things when I go to South Africa or maybe I use a proxy or a torrent.
    This is a crazy situation and not for the first time, either. The LR4 I got in Norway after a similar frustrating thing.
    And no, 'hosts' file has been cleaned already.
    I cannot understand an enterprise fighting against its willing clients.
    Madmen!
    The tech support guy was very friendly but his advice got me nowhere.
    Let's torrent now!

    WOW! Man! And now a short explanation why this link is such a well kept
    secret. While you are at it, explain to me why I had to actually create
    (again) a new, clean Adobe account to avoid the CC deal? In the French shop
    with my old accounts, that was the only possibility available.
    Your sales department must be from another planet completely.
    Once upon a time I only managed to download the LR 4 in NORWAY!
    The French shop did not feel like it.
    LR 5 upgrade was so smooth that I thought you had changed the crew but now
    the LR6 business set another record as it comes to idiocy.
    Yes, I got finally the stuff I wanted. I went to the FINNISH shop and got
    it from there with a brand new account.
    It took me two hours on three days to get this upgrade.
    You must be pretty f proud of yourselves there!!!
    Why do people pirate Adobe stuff? Because it is so difficult to buy it!

  • PETITION: This is what I would like to see in a new firmware upgrade for the MTP ZEN TO

    - Allows charging via USB when the player is not being used by a program or is low on battery [THIS FEATURE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN REMOVED BY MTP UPGRADE]
    ENHANCEMENTS / ADDITIONAL FEAUTRES [I HAVE LISTED THESE BY MY PERSONAL ORDER OF PREFERENCE]:
    ) Allows the playback of Audible content types ,2,3,4 on the player, via a plug-in in Audible Manager
    2) Adds bookmarking feature to the player
    3) Adds SmartVolume EQ feature to the player
    4) Adds DJ menu to the player

    6) Allows user to synchronise tasks from Outlook to the player
    7) Allows TXT files/ Ebooks to be stored/ viewed on the player
    8) Adds BassBoost EQ feature to the player
    PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION TO URGE CREATIVE TO INTRODUCE AT LEAST SOME OF THESE FIXES / FEATURES IN A FIRMWARE UPGRADE FOR THE MTP ZEN TOUCH - also please feel free to add other suggestions that would improve the functionality of the Zen Touch

    You can set up more than one device on your computer, and iTunes will remember the settings for each of them:

  • My iCloud has been 'upgrading' for the last 12 hrs. That is, after I had pressed 'install after downloading the latest, improved version without entering my password. How do I get back to the window that will allow me to enter my password?

    My iPad has been 'upgrading' for the last 12hrs.That is, after I had downloaded the new version of iCloud, and pressed 'Install' without entering my password. It is probably searching for it. How do I go back to the window that will allow me to enter my password. I have tried switching off the device, but each time the 'upgrading' comes on. I have also switched it off and left it on the charger for at least 6 hrs.

    I have a Adobe CC Photography plan and I would like to Upgrade for the Complete plan, What should I do? my account is Brazilian

    Adobe only sell the latest version of Creative Suite which is CS6 so you can't buy CS5 anymore. Upgrades are also only available from CS5 to CS6 so CS3 wouldn't qualify anyway.
    I'm afraid you are out of luck.

  • I've installed iPhoto11 and when opening for the 1st time it says that needs to upgrade my library and it is doing this since yesterday. Is this right??

    I've installed iPhoto11 and when opening for the 1st time it says that needs to upgrade my library and it is doing this task since yesterday. Is this right??

    No. Quit and try again. If that fails again,
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Which would be the best upgrade for the money?

    Here is my situation:
    My school has a six year life cycle for macs, and we have a 2006 Mac Pro (1,1) that is reaching the end of its useful life. I had recently tried Final Cut Pro X and it pains me to say that it took 4 hours to export a 14 minute 720p video. This mac is used for our school news and has to be a beast video editing machine. We have been saving money for quite some time and can now afford a decent upgrade. So my question to you is which would be the best upgrade for the money: a 21.5 inch iMac with an i7, 8gb RAM, and Fusion drive or the cheapest Mac Pro with after market SSD? This mac needs to be the fastest at Final Cut Pro X and able to usefully last us another 6 years. Please help I am forever perplexed with this!

    Id go for the I7 with minimum 8 Gig ram and as much SSD as your money will buy.
    It's not only about having a fast CPU but just as important is to get the data in and out as fast a possible.
    Without a real fast drive your CPU will spend a lot of time just waiting for the data to get to it and then wait more time while it has to write back to the drive.
    You can always add a slower drive for archiving and large amounts storage.
    Cheers!

  • My friend bought the Lion upgrade for her MacBook.  She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac which is current running Leopard.  Does she have to buy SnowLeopard for her Mac first?  Both computers use the same apple ID and password.

    My friend bought the Lion upgrade for her MacBook.  She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac to Lion which is currently running Leopard.  Does she have to first buy a SnowLeopard upgrade for her desktop?  And will the upgrade from SnowLeopard to Lion then be free?  Both computers use the same apple ID.

    She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac to Lion which is currently running Leopard.
    She needs to purchase Snow Leopard but she can re download Lion on the desktop for free after Snow Leopard is installed.
    And definitely use the same Apple ID to download Lion on the desktop.

    Hi
    Logic Studio is not available anymore, so unless you can find an "old stock" copy somewhere, you will never be able to upgrade in the future.
    Logic Pro 9 has all the content from the Studio box available for download, with the exception of the 20G of Soundtrack Pro content. Soundtrack Pro is no longer available at all.
    Logic Studio also contained several other applications: Mainstage, Compressor (available separately from the AppStore), Waveburner (no longer available), plus some other utilities.

  • When a new user is created on the Server Computer,Why profile for the user is created as computername.username?

    When a new user is created on the Server Computer,Why profile for the user is created as computername.username?

    This is done if there are domain users with the same name. For example, if there is a domain user named 'test' who has logged in on the server, he will get the profile 'test'. If you then create a local user named 'test', the profile 'test' already exists
    and the computer will create the profile 'computername.test'
