Why would they take SO many features out of iMovie?

I need to be able to add text (like spinning intros) and such and you cant do it anymore in 08. It just seems like the only thing they upgraded for 08 was the ease of exporting to multiple things (webcast, youtube...)
What happened to iMovie? Are all the old features just hidden or is it really a "downgrade."
It is not a question of what has been taken out but rather a question of what they have yet to add. iMovie '08 is not an upgrade to the the previous versions of iMovie but a completely new "re-write" of the application based on totally new methods of editing (i.e., manipulations and storing) of data. Unfortunately, what you are looking at is the equivalent of an iMovie v1.0 application. Methods of writing and utilizing third-party "plug-in" technologies have yet to be developed. Import and and export routines have yet to be refined and made stable. If you need the proven technologies and features of iMovie '06, then continue to use iMovie '06 during this period of "re-development and re-invention." New iMovie users and those whose computers do not meet minimum requirements are encouraged to download the free iMovie '06 application made available by Apple. Old users will find their old version of iMovie still available in an Applications folder entitled "iMovie (previous version)".

Why did they take out the add all songs option with IOS7

I can not read the minds of the Adobe engineers or Marketing people. Nesting a sequence is not much more trouble than applying an effect.
If you are creating a PIP, then a nested sequence is probably your solution. If you are not nesting, scale and crop, then put a white matte under it.
This is not a great place for asking questions that have no answers outside of internal Adobe decisions. This is, however, a great place to get workarounds.

I had my iphone stolen 9 months ago. I had find my iphone set to erase when next connected to the internet. Today I received an email telling me my iphone was erased last May. Why would it take so long to tell me this?

I had my iphone stolen 9 months ago. I'd set up the find my iphone function set to erase all contents when the phone was next connected to the internet. 1 hour ago I had an email telling me my phone was erased last May. Why would it take so long to inform me?

It is unlikely that any of us fellow users would know. Ask Apple. They're not here.

HT3209 where are my TV series which I purchase on Apple TV stored? Why do they take so long to open when we want to watch them?

That would be due to your network.
Some common things to check
Current connection, use speedtest.net
Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of your network, it will help see if there's interference.
On Apple TV go to settings - general - network. Make sure DNS is set to automatic.

When uploading, what are "previews" and why do they take so long?

After selecting photos from iPhoto library to upload and hitting upload all the photos were accessible in a reasonable amount of time.
However, then a message stated that "previews are uploading." I can see thumbnails and enlarge all my photos in Revel ..so what is a "Preview" file? Why do they take so long to upload? Is the Preview the same as a full-size file?
Also, of the 3,000 images I chose Revel excluded 72. (not dupes...they were separately counted). How do I know which ones were not selected? And WHY?

Richard, Thank you.
I am using a MacBook Pro, OSX 10.9.2. There are no RAW files and no xmp's. Corrupt files are possible.
I have noticed that today the "previews" finished uploading. And now the "originals" are beginning to uload. If 3,600 previews took almost 4 days to upload, i can expect 3,600 originals will take much longer. The internet speed is medium @ 1.5.
My iPhoto library has 12,000 photos and only a few videos. I don't think I will live long enough to try uploading a duplicate library via a web client at Adoberevel.com (laughing) I doubt that at this rate I'll be able to upload even half to Revel in the 1st 30 days.

Why would it take 4 hours to download a two hour movie rental.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's likely network related, have you checked your internet download speed (speedtest.net) or tried anything to eliminate interference on you local network.

Why did they take away the "Open In New Tab"option in Top Sites, Bookmarks, and History?

Why did they take away the "Open In New Tab"option in Top Sites, Bookmarks, and History? This very annoying.

Seriously - what could they have possibly been thinking? Mozilla, please tell us this was some kind of mistake. Accessing our bookmarks in FF-mobile is just plain bad as a user experience. And now without "Open In New Tab" we are supposed to drill down to our bookmarks for every tab we want to open? FF-mobile is almost useless without "Open In New Tab". Please restore "Open In New Tab" for bookmarks, thanks.

HT3951 why would it takes 15 hours to download a movie rental on my computer?

Why would it take 15 hours to download a movie rental on my laptop this year, and last year it worked?

What is the download speed of your ISP? Go to speedtest.net and test it and report back.
I downloaded two HD movies over the weekened at about 3.2GB each and it took less then 30 minutes each.

HT204088 I cant download my purchased music because of my credit card that I dont have anymore and they say I owe like almost $40.00,also my account says I have $25.00 from a itunes gift card that I cant seem to use,my question is why wont they take the $

I need help ok my itunes account is saying I owe them like $39.36 or something,anyways I dont have any credit cards because of some fraud with my name so at the moment I dont have billing information and I dont know what to do about this? Also It shows that I have a $25.00 dollar balance on my account and I cant seem to spend the $$. Now why cant itunes take the $25.00 off what I owe and then cancel out the remaining balance so I can download the music that I have paid for in full???

Not going to happen the way you want it to.
When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

Why would share via iMessage be left out Of the share menu?

As a primary feature of ios why is sharing via iMessage being left out? Currently I am sharing to camera roll and then firing off an iMessage. Just seems like the fat could be trimmed on this one. I also see iPhoto for ios as bieng a comPlete replacement for the camera roll.

I couldn't agree more. There needs to be iMessage/message integration with iPhoto. I want to be able to share an iPhoto pic via iMessage! Also I feel the same way about iPhoto replacing the camera app/roll. Needs to be one location to edit photos and store them so we can eliminate duplicates, ect.

Why did you take away the feature that allowed me to save several tabbs when i close the webbrowser?

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically. <br />
You can use '''Firefox''' button > '''History > Restore Previous Session''' to get the previous session. <br />
There is also a '''Restore Previous Session''' button on the default '''about:home''' Home page.

Will the option to take video with photo booth become available for ipad2? why would they not include it :(

I was really disappointed to find out that i can't record video with photo booth on my ipad2 and am wondering why it was not included like it is on a mac. Will there be an update to fix this?

Why did they take away the playlist feature for movies and tv shows?

The subject line pretty much sums it up but does anyone know why they took it away? It was seriously the greatest thing ever with my kid's tv shows. I could just turn on the playlist and they could watch a few episodes back to back without having to mess with the remote.

I don't think they have.
A recent software update may have reset your Settings which by default is playlists only for music.
Check AppleTV Setting menus and enable playlists for all not just music.
Let me know if you can't find the setting in the menu.

Garageband used to have chord view on the display, why did they take it out?

i got garageband 10.0.1 and i miss being able to see the chord names as i play them on my midi controller...shocked and bummed. i don't get it.

As a workaround - if you add a guitar track to your project, you can enable the Guitar Tuner from this track. select the guitar track and click the tuning fork icon.
Then play your midi instrument. It will not show chords, but at least the most dominant note you are playing.
léonie, that is not quite correct. Although there is one Tuner Button in the Control Bar and it seems as simple as clicking the button to open the Tuner window, there is a little bit more to it.
First of all, each Input Channel on your selected Audio Device has it's own Tuner Window.
For example,
If you select an Audio Track (Vocals 1) that has Input 1 of the Audio Device selected, then the Tuner window (that opens when that Track is selected) has the name "Input 1" in the Window Title. It tells you that you are tuning the audio singal on Input Channel 1.
If you select another Audio Track (Vocals 2) that has Input 2 of the Audio Device selected, then a second Tuner window will open (in case you haven't close the first one), and that one has "Input 2" in the window title, to indicate that this one "listens" to Input Channel 2 of your Audio Device.
BTW, the Tuner works on any Audio Track, regardless if they are created with the microphone icon or the guitar icon in the New Tracks Dialog.
You cannot display any MIDI note that you play on a MIDI Track. Maybe the Software Instrument played through your speaker and that was picked up by a microphone on the Track that had a Tuner Window open.

Why would they just replace the fans when it needs a new logic board?

Went to see a "genius" at the Apple store with my Week 12 MBP. Complained about excessive heat and it whining when unplugged, ever since I got it. He sent it off, three days later I got it back in the mail. But when I looked at the repair doc all it says is they replaced the "FAN ASSY, LT, M1" and also the "RT" one. So now I have two new fans (which worked fine before), and that's it. It still get hot enough over the F keys to burn my skin, and it still whines like a baby when unplugged.
All they have to do is look at the serial number (8612) to know it needs a new MLB, right? What do I do now, call them back and go through this all over again?
MacBook Pro 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Went through the exact same thing with my week 17 MBP. The first repair came back with new power inverter and fan assemblies even though my noise was clearly coming from below the keyboard. The noise continued and if anything was actually worse so I was starting to regret ever sending the computer back in the first place. So I called again and sent it back in. This time, the laptop came back untouched and declared "within spec". Now I was really fired up. I told them I would use it for a week and if the problem continued it will come back. So back it went a third time and this time the logic board was replaced. I have to say, the difference is very noticeable and completely worth it in hindsight. I was almost ready to live with it and am so glad I did not. Be persistent and let them know you are prepared to send it in as many times as it takes.
