Wish Lists On Our Profiles

I'd like to see the option to show our iTunes Store wishlist on our Ping profile. This gives friends and family an easy way to gift us songs from a list of songs they know we want.
Gifting of a song should provide a status update on the profile of both involved parties (gifter and receiver). It might do this already I haven't had a chance to try.

Those would indeed be nice options; perhaps in the future that will appear. You can suggest it to Apple, so they know the interest level, via the iTunes feedback page. Your comments will be most likely to get to the proper people within Apple that way.
Regards.

We have $10 credit and would like to buy from our wish list but do not see how

There used to be a 'buy all' button on the wish list screen, but for some reason it's been removed from the current version of iTunes - you can buy songs etc individually by clicking on their price (not the downward pointing arrow next to the price)

BE3K Feature Wish List

First off, I would like to say my last post was filled with alot of anger and fustration, and admittedly not as productive to the Cisco dev team, or the BU and for this I apologise, however as a the Senior lead UC specialist of my organisation, and being partly responsible for all projects, I cant afford to have my junior engineers wasting days on a BE3k project to get the most basic of things going for our clients. So lets start over........ =)
Moving forward; I dont see many posts here on the Cisco support forums under the BE3k section regarding *improving* the BE3k's functionality and what we (the integrators) would like to see in the next upcoming release cycle. So I have come up with a few things off the top of my head which I would like to see added ( a wish list if you like ). Not all may be possible, and not all may apply to all demographic regions, as long as we know if there will be any plans in the future to add such features to the BE3k.
Ive only worked on the BE3k for a day and consulted with my colleages to compile this list, please feel free to add to it
Night Switch, with ability to schedule ON/OFF and also Night Switch indications on handsets (ie receptionist)
Hunt Group no answer forwarding to ANY number
Blast Group no answer forwarding to ANY number
Directed call pickup / Group Pickup of ANY ringing phone/group regardless of membership to hunt groups or blast groups
ACD Groups with ability for multiple greetings and multiple music sources for each ACD Queue
Pre-Digit voicemail forwarding, like if a user A wants to leave a message for user B, they predigit 6 or 5 in front of the extension and it goes straight to their voicemailbox without ringing on user B's phone
Lower the time it takes to do an upgrade
Native SIP trunking without the need for CUBE
Multiple choice PSTN routes, eg. 1st choice route = SIP, 2nd choice route = ISDN
More key types (not just LINE) share keys, monitor keys, silent keys, overlay keys, multicall keys etc etc
Feature access codes, ie *26xxx to call forward to number xxx etc..
Hotdesking or Extension Mobility, login and out of any phone and make it your own
Ability to edit translation rules and define custom routes for different numbers, like pre-digit 9 would use SIP, pre-digit 0 would use ISDN etc..
Ability to customise codec types if using SIP trunks and edit SIP parameters such as the SDP headers and packetisation rates..
Ability to SKIP the configuration wizard or RESET to go back to the configuration wizard
Ability to re-label softkeys, at the moment line1 on users extensions is locked to their Directory name
Speed dials, user A wants to dial 3001, 3001 is a shortcut to dial 0412345678, this should not be limited as some clients have over 500 speedials
DHCP server, with ability to define scope options like option 150, or ability to lock down to cisco-phone only
DSS/BLF monitoring of different line statuses, ie Ringing, Off Hook, DND
Ability to add analog gateways VG224 etc.. i dont know if this is already possible
Call forward no answer/call forward always, not to be part of a USAGE profile, but to be part of the USERS profile, its not intuitive in its current state
Thats all I can think of for now, I will add more when I consult my Team of engineers.

Hi Sanjay,
Thanks for the response, please see comments below :
1) Night Switch - Not currently supported. It is a feature we are targeting in a follow-up release.
     Will this support scheduling and an indicator ?
2) Currently one can forward it to any internal extension. What you are asking for is to forward it even an outside number. Yes, customer X wants to overflow the Hunt Group to an after hours Mobile Number
5) It is supported with 8.6.4 release. For direct call transfer to voicemail, hit transfer, * followed by extension number and transfer key again (or hang up the phone). Good to know, I tried this and it works
8) It is supported. With 8.6.4 release, one can create multiple Outside DIal Codes on the System Dial Plan page. Then on the site page, one can associate those outside dial codes to different connection groups. In your case, you will have one connection group with SIP connections and another with ISDN.
Can the system support +E.164 dialing ? Lets say I want to send +61 2 83945522 out of the SIP trunk ?
9) You can configure shared lines, speed dial BLF (monitor keys). Silent ring key is something which is not currently not configurable. I am not sure what is overlay key call. If I understand multicall key, it is call waiting feature. Each line on the phone has max of 2 calls by default.
At present, the only way to silence the ringing is to DND the phone, but this will silence all keys, consider a CEO who has a private line, or multiple private lines and doesnt want to be disturbed on his private line.
10) There is a softkey for call forward. Is there any specific reason you are looking for feature access code? I believe feature code is more problem because of reason to remember them. Sofkey is just there.
Feature access codes can be much easier to remember to do rather then navigating through a multitude of menus, consider and old TDM user who is used to having press *26 to fwd and #26# to cancel forward, this is much quicker and should be a secondary option to the menu driven way. - Call fwd is only an example.
12) With 8.6.4, you can define custom rules for different routing needs. Having said that I agree that translation rules are currently not very flexible. We are planning to improve that in next release.
This is good, I hope to see that the translation rules will have an option to select which exiting trunk route to use.
14) Reset to Factory Defaults is a feature on roadmap. May not be available in next release.
    What about Skipping the wizard all together ?
15) Line 1 is the primary DN. It will be labeled to the Extension number or name. What do u want to label it to?
     Heres the scenario on this one, at present doesnt looke like you are able to put the DN number as the label of Line 1. Consider company A has multiple sub-companies/departments coming in on different DID's company A's receptionist wants to have visibility of ALL sub-company's DID presented on each line of her handset. At present, you will need to create another USER and associate with the extension's lines, however you cannot Re-Label the key to reflect any meaningful information. Perhaps support for a "floating"/ "phantom"/ "fictive" key should be implemented. This kind of key does not need to be tied to any extension, and will not take up any licenses.
16) On the System Dial Plan page, there is a tab to do abbreviated dialing. You can configure translation of a speed dial to an E.164 number
Good, I tested this and it works, but I dont see what the point is in having options to prefix and postfix digits in this form, what is the thinking here?
18) It is already supported. You can add a VG224 gateway.
     Good.
Also, are these on the roadmap ? :
DSS/BLF monitoring of different line statuses, ie Ringing, Off Hook, DND
Ability to customise codec types if using SIP trunks and edit SIP parameters such as the SDP headers and packetisation rates..

My iPhoto WIsh List for '07

Just sent the following to Apple's iPhoto Feedback; figured I'd post same here just for the heck of it. Many of these feature requests might only apply to my particular (and peculiar?) workflow, but I suspect at least a few of them might strike an empathetic chord...
One User's iPhoto Wish List:
Your first priority is to contact the creators of iPhoto Diet and iPhoto Library Manager, pay them lots of money for their work, and then incorporate all the features of their shareware apps into iPhoto itself.
This would add to iPhoto features it should have had for a long time now, including:
1) An option to delete unrotated originals.
It's silly to take up space on a hard drive with copies of files whose only difference is that one is correctly rotated and the other is not. Give us the choice to dispense with the unrotated ones.
2) An option to delete the originals for any selected file(s).
I know that "always keeping a copy of the original" is a sacred cornerstone of the iPhoto app, but SOMETIMES, after I've edited, resized, or done whatever to a given file, I feel I've created the new master file, and I truly really honestly would like the ability to just dispose of the now redundant original and get the space back on my hard drive.
(If this sounds like giving the user of a "consumer app" too much control, by all means bury this kind of option behind all the Advanced Tabs and all the Warning Dialogs you want -- but please at least give us the option to manage what we ultimately keep or don't keep in our iPhoto Libraries.)
3) Ways to manage multiple libraries on multiple machines with multiple users.
I have a 12GB (and growing) iPhoto Library on my G5 PowerMac. My wife's G5 iMac has a subset of that Library (about half the size), with the same Roll designations, Comments info, and Keyword assignments, along with some of the same Albums plus some unique Albums. I use iPhoto Library Manager to do this, but I should be able to do it using iPhoto itself.
Especially since the introduction of OS X, Apple has encouraged the notion of multiple users on multiple Macs. iPhoto needs to embrace that world view, and make the sharing and management of multiple iPhoto Libraries, even different versions of the same Library on different machines, a fluid, user-friendly, and fully-integrated process. For instance, I should be able to select which images, Rolls, and/or Albums from my Library get copied to my wife's machine (with all Comments, Roll info and Keywords intact) -- AND whether or not those copies include the corresponding original files or not.
Other features iPhoto needs:
4) Ability to correct and change the actual EXIF date/time info.
One example: It is extremely common to get jpegs from other users who haven't bothered to correctly set the date/time menu on their digital cameras. You want to correct that info, but if you do that in iPhoto's Info pane, and then Export that image and in turn Import it into another iPhoto Library, the Date/Time reverts back to the original INCORRECT setting. This is really annoying, and I feel like it's insulting my intelligence. (When I change the date of a photo, THAT'S the date I should now be able to search for by using the calendar mode, NOT its incorrect "creation" date.)
The current workaround of having to export the file, use another app like Graphic Converter to really change the exif data, then re-import into iPhoto (after first deleting the originals), then recreate all your Comments and Album arrangements, is clumsy, time-consuming, and when you think about it, absurd.
PLEASE consider a User Pref to the effect of "Changing Date/Time info changes original exif data as well"? You could have it unchecked as the default; you could have all sorts of "do you really want to do that?" warnings pop up when a user does check it -- but please just give us the option!
5) Better User Pref options.
Give us the choice to NOT create a dupe original when a file is viewed in an external editor but no changes are made; likewise when just rotating an image within iPhoto.
6) Better sorting/display options.
I display my library in Rolls (each Roll being pictures taken on a particular day or at a particular event). I'd like the ability to designate how files are sorted within a particular Roll -- the pictures in some Rolls sorted by file name, the pictures in other Rolls sorted by Date & Time.
Would also like to be able to insert dividers in the Source pane to separate some of my albums into different groups, as well as a way to set bookmarks or placeholders within a Library, as a quick shortcut to an often-viewed section for example.
7) More e-mail attachment options.
Within each of the Small, Medium, Large, and Actual Size choices, there should also be (perhaps under an Advanced tab) a sliding scale of jpg quality, with an instant feedback showing what the total file size will be at that particular setting.
Also, there should be four checkboxes: one for Image Name, one for Date, one for Time, and especially one for Comments -- allowing the user to determine which of those four bits of iPhoto info are included in the e-mail attachment along with the image itself.
8) Option to have Comments included in Captions for online albums.
Those same four checkboxes also need to be options for any kind online album posting. It's crazy that right now I can't put up an iWeb photo page that automatically includes the Comments I've taken the time to enter in iPhoto as part of that photo's Caption online.
9) Option to show file extension in Title
Including or not including the .jpg or .psd or .gif extension is an option when Exporting a file; why not when displaying it as well?
10) Option to "show all layers" of an imported Photoshop file.
Or any kind of layered file which has been imported into the iPhoto Library.
11) Ability to enter partial dates.
It often happens when you import an older scanned photo into your library (or even when you're just sent a recent photo from a friend), you don't know know the exact date and/or time the picture was originally taken. iPhoto really needs a way to enter partial, approximate or estimated dates -- just the month/year without a specific day, for example -- both in the Info pane AND in Batch Change mode.
(Also wouldn't mind a user pref option to display the Time without the seconds.)
12) Ability to Import pictures into an already selected Roll.
There are many times when I'd like to be able to select a particular Roll, then Import some new pics directly into that Roll -- rather than doing the Import, then having to drag the images sometimes several months back in time to drop them into the correct Roll.
13) Ability to delete files from an Album and the Library simultaneously.
This would be some sort of Option-Delete command, where a selected image being viewed in a particular Album is ALSO removed and sent to the Trash from the Library as well -- with the appropriate warning dialog, of course.
14) Built-in support for doing INCREMENTAL back-ups of either your entire Library -- or only the files from selected Albums -- to another hard drive.
I hope that most of these features have already been incorporated into the next release of iPhoto -- and if not, that you'll give serious consideration to implementing them as soon as possible. Your users will thank you.

should add ability to scan directly to iphoto.
How would I give this wish to apple?
Note that under the Application Menu (in other words, in iPhoto under the bold Menu item called "iPhoto", right next to the blue Apple icon), there's a selection called Provide iPhoto Feedback. Clicking on that opens your default browser (if it's not already open), and sends you to the specific Apple webpage set up to receive user suggestions for that particular app.
In this case, the URL is the one "Old Toad" mentioned in his post:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
Many of the major Apple apps have this direct menu link; for others you can just go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ and navigate from there.
They claim to actually pay attention to this kind of user input; and I've heard people say it actually does affect how the development and implementation of new features get prioritized.
Let's hope so, anyway.

My iWeb Wish List for '07

Just sent the following to Apple's iWeb Feedback; figured I'd post it here as well just for the heck of it.
Some of these requests may apply only to my particular -- some would say peculiar -- workflow, but I suspect there are at least a couple which other user's might share.
(using iWeb 1.1.2 under OX X 10.4.8)
One User's iWeb Wish List:
1) Option to have Comments included in Captions for online albums.
When Importing pics from iPhoto, there should be four checkboxes:
one for Image Name (i.e. Title),
one for Date,
one for Time,
and especially one for Comments!
-- allowing the user to determine which of those four bits of iPhoto info are included in the Captions for any kind of online album. It's crazy that right now I can't put up an iWeb photo page that automatically includes the Comments I've taken the time to enter in iPhoto as part of that photo's Caption online.
If iWeb wants to claim true integration with iPhoto, then this feature seems like a pre-version 1 no-brainer.
2) "Open in New Window?" option for Hyperlinks.
When designating some text or a picture as a link, PLEASE give us the option to make that link one that will open in the browser's current page (the default), OR one that will open in a NEW PAGE.
That's a basic design choice which the creator of any web page should be allowed to make.
(At least with Homepage I was able to fool it by adding
" target="_blank
to the URL I was entering, making Hompage think the addition was actually part of the URL, but causing any browser to see it as the HTML command to open the preceding link in a new window. Unfortunately I can't seem to get this trick to work in iWeb -- would love it if someone could tell me why.)
3) User-configuarable slideshows.
When I first started using iWeb, and saw how configurable the pages themselves were, I naturally searched for the Slideshow options. Just basic stuff, like the seconds per-slide duration; the kinds of transitions; the default to change slides manually or automatically; whether to have the controls and the top row of thumbs always visible or show only when you mouse over them; whether to use the reflection effect; what color background to use; the image display size -- that kind of thing. (The kind of control offered in the shareware program ShutterBug, for example.)
You already know what I found: zilch. It almost feels like two different teams developed the two parts of the program (the wonderfully-customizable Page Creator vs. the take-it-or-leave-it Slideshow) -- or maybe they just ran out of time before the iLife '06 release, and had to throw in the Slideshow part before it was ready.
4) Previewable Slideshows
And then I find that not only can I not customize the Slideshow in any way, I can't even preview it within the app itself -- I have to publish the page first, then "preview" it in a browser. This whole section of the iWeb app is definitely not ready for prime time.
5) More web viewing options.
The viewer of my iWeb photo page should be able to click on a thumbnail and have it open as either an image in its own window, OR (as is the case in HomePage) as the first frame in a slideshow.
And even when it opens as an image in a separate window, there should still be the basic <-PREV and NEXT-> buttons to allow the viewer to keep looking at the full-sized images without having to close each window and then double-click on the next thumbnail.
6) Automatic page length extension.
Would be a nice user pref to have the page height automatically adjust as new content is added, or as pix are dragged down past the current bottom of page.
7) Space-saving Import options.
In order to conserve space on our .Mac accounts, and make for better downloading times of the photo page itself, iWeb needs to offer several Import options once the desired pics from an iPhoto Library (or just from a Finder folder) have been selected:
Let users pick whether the photos will be uploaded full-size, or automatically reduced to a user-definable maximum height and/or width.
And make sure to also have (perhaps under an Advanced tab) a sliding scale of jpg quality, with an instant feedback showing what the total file size will be at that particular setting.
These size and quality parameters should be applicable either to individual files, or to the entire Import as a whole.
8) Tell us the URLs.
Simply mousing over a page or site name in the Site Organizer pane (or right-clicking on same), should reveal its full URL as currently published, and allow you to easily copy that URL to the Clipboard (and in turn Paste that URL into a document or an e-mail).
I know the iWeb URLs all follow the same naming pattern, but why not make it easier for us to access and Copy/Paste those URLs, instead of having to "figure them out"?
9) Make the Text Boxes easier to see and to move.
Right now a newly-inserted Text Box is virtually invisible, and until you actually type some text into it it's bloody hard to grab a hold of.
I'm hoping most of these features have already been incorporated into the next release of iWeb -- and if not, that you'll give serious consideration to implementing all of them as soon as possible. Your users will thank you!
John Bertram
Toronto

This is a user forum, so we can't help with this! You
can provide iWeb feedback in the File menu of the app.
Indeed -- hence the very first line of my post:
"Just sent the following to Apple's iWeb Feedback; figured I'd post it here as well just for the heck of it..."
Also why I didn't post it as a Question seeking help. Nevertheless, thanks for pointing me both to your site and the RowanCottage one. I'll check out all the iWeb tips on both.
Meanwhile...
2) "Open in New Window?" option for Hyperlinks.
Here's how to do it:
http://web.mac.com/varkgirl/iWeb/Varkgirl/Open%20links
%20in%20new%20window.html
Let's hope that any of these workarounds will soon be a thing of the past. I have to believe that the iWeb team has realized by now that giving the user (i.e. the iWeb page creator) the option to designate how each and every link should open (same page or new page) is such a basic, obvious feature that it MUST already be implemented in the next iWeb, and is only awaiting the release of iLife '07 -- or whatever the next iLife suite will be called.
6) Automatic page length extension.
Would be a nice user pref to have the page height
automatically adjust as new content is added, or as
pix are dragged down past the current bottom of
page.
Um, it does this already.
Then I must be doing something very wrong. I just tried again -- grabbed a graphic, dragged it down to the bottom of the page so that half of it was now out of site, let go and voila -- nothing. "Content Height" in the Page Inspector didn't change one pixel.
Even the "Creative" at the downtown Toronto Apple Store -- who I happened to see giving an iWeb demo/workshop the other day -- said the only way to extend the page length was to add a larger value to the Content Height box in the Inspector.
But I'd still love to know if there's a more intuitive, hands-on kind of way.
9) Make the Text Boxes easier to see and to move.
Turn on "Show Layout" in the View menu
I already did. My point was that even with "Show Layout" on, the faint grey text box that first appears is often hard to see, especially against certain backgrounds. Interestingly, that same Apple Store staffer made the exact same observation (with no prompting from me), and also commented on how the initial blank text box was also tricky to grab and reposition -- he said he always just types some random garbage text first, THEN moves the now much more easily grabbable text box to where he wants it on the page.
Anyway, I felt at least a little vindicated to hear an Apple frontline employee share a couple of the same little annoyances that had been bugging me just a few days earlier!
Cheers,
John Bertram
Toronto

Wish list for Lightroom 4

I just put together my wish list for Lightroom 4.
http://davidnaylor.org/blog/2011/01/wish-list-for-lightroom-4/
What do you think? Did I miss anything important out?

I want soft proofing so bad, I didn't even upgrade to lr3, because the changes they did make meant so little in comparison to it.
Please Adobe, if you're reading this...SOFT PROOFING PUH-LEEZ!
Additionally, it would be very useful to be able to embed watermarks that are visible to printing services, but not visible when viewing files on screen. I don't know if that's even possible, but it would help photographers who want to provide the files to our clients, but don't want them to have unlimited usage. They can enjoy the photos on their computers, they could print too, but the printing services would be limited by whatever copyright limitations the photographer places on the invisible watermark. For example, I might put something like:
copyright 2011 Iconic Photography, Vancouver, Canada
This image may be reproduced to a maximum print size of 8" x 12"
Contact Iconic Photography at [email protected] for more information.
This would prevent clients from making their own albums or wall prints. Whaddaya say Adobe?

Missing Features, Bugs, and Wish List for Apple Engineers

I LOVE my iPhone. It is by far the best phone I have ever had. The interface is awesome. Great job Apple, but there are missing features and bugs that all of us want updated or wish were added. I know they were probably already thought of by Apple, but in an effort to make the phone perfect removed to make it more stable. Now that it is out lets make it perfect.
This thread will hopefully give you guys guidance from the early adopters who share your love for the phone (and others who want to chime in). I want to separate the list into a few categories and hope everyone will add to this thread with their ideas:
1) BUGS/CHANGES TO EXISTING APPS:
- Period should be in alphabet keyboard (make space smaller) or when you go to symbol keyboard and hit period it should automatically go back to the alphabet keyboard (unless you double click the symbol button which means stay there like caps lock)
- Individual delete (like Mail) of all lists (eg. call list, bookmarks list, history etc.
- Multiple item in a List delete (see below for how to select). This is also so un-Mac like to not be able to select multiple items to delete. It is all or none for clear/delete on the iPhone.
- Implement double finger slide...in maps double finger tap zooms out so the OS recognizes this, why don't you use a double finger drag to mean "select". There is no way to select some words in a sentence or a group of items. This could be how. eg. In a list (eg Mail) double finger slide over items you want to select (instead of singer finger drag which moves the list) then one finger slide to the right to delete the selected items from the list.
- Copy and paste. Since there are no menus this would require a gesture (ala newton)
- when you tap the battery icon it should bring up a battery status dialog (ala wifi join dialog where the screen dims): present charge, big battery icon (like the charging one), time left. In addition, instead of giving battery usage details only after a full charge, give it at any point.
- Since you know that nights and weekends are at set times (and not variable like it was on Sprint where I came from)...the phone usage details should be broken down into: peak minutes used and N+W minutes used (not hard to figure out since you know the time and dates of calls)
- Be able to change font/background etc in Notes app
- faster way to get to favorites in the killer phone app after turning on phone. Just seems like it takes too many taps to get there to make a call on a phone.
2) WISH LIST FOR NEW APPS (apps that can be added with existing hardware, see #3 for other wishes)
- iChat (obvious and probably almost done)
- VOIP (probably not going to happen, and wouldn't work in Europe where I would need it most gven network speeds there)
- Flight tracker widget
- Exchange support (probably in the works)
- Push email from gmail and .Mac (probably in the works)
- Bluetooth sync
- DUN (probably not going to happen since AT+T does not want it)
- Data/File storage with sync
- TODO APP that syncs to to do in iCal
- Ringtones, definitely from songs from iPod side (obvious and coming soon I am sure)
-Search function like spotlight. Global would be awesome, but even just in contacts
3) FUTURE HARDWARE RELATED WISHES (stuff we wish could be in hardware version 1 but know require a version 2):
- GPS
- 3G
- LED that changes color and/or pulses (like MacBooks sleep light) that indicates things (eg charge status, Voice mail status, roaming status etc) without turning on the phone
- Move camera to front to allow video conferencing (I doubt Steve would allow since it would mess up the clean front look)
Well I could go on and will add to this thread later, but I need to go to work to show everyone (and sell more apple stuff since many of my colleagues have been converted to macs). Now, all you pioneers, start adding things to help our beloved phone become better!

iMac Mac OS X (10.3.6)

I agree with your post! I'm amazed by the simplicity, the screen, and the apps on the iPhone. They all have worked wonderfully for me, with just a few crashes while surfing or loading big email images. (I heard that shutting down the phone and restarting helps that.)
The single flaw for me is that the phone app itself should be primary, with more options (quicker access, unique ringtones, voicedial?) and ease of use. The other applications are so elegant, but I need my phone to be very accessible and practical too.
My wish list:
1) Make it fewer taps to get to the point where you can make a phone call. How about the main button can be programmed to take you wherever you want. I'd choose to go to Phone Favorites, so I could speed dial right away.
2) Be able to set a preference as to what app you're in when you wake up the phone. I'd choose phone keypad, some might choose iCal, etc.
3) Add the period and comma symbols to the alpha keyboard.
4) Allow different ringtones for specific caller ID's.
5) Copy and paste.
V2) With new hardware, add a "back" button to return to prev. screen. It could be small, on the side near volume?

E71 Feedback and Wish list for future development

Hi Nokia and Nokia Fans.
E71 is a masterpiece but I believe there's much room for improvement. My E71 is indispensable to me. I wish Nokia will strive to thrive the E series and in particular the E71.
Here's my wish list / features to add:
1. A Task Manager for Symbian that's Nokia naively developed is absolutely essential as it's required to manage all aspects of applications, processes and threads, especially the misbehaving ones.
2. Use better GPS Chipset with better sensitivity as the current one is really slackly.
3. High-Speed WiFi connection to access and manage the phone including the mass storage instead of fiddling with wires.
4. Secure zone for creating password-protected notes/memos/etc, previously called "wallet".
5. Add SMS "Listen" feature for sent messages.
6. Add "Timed" Profiles.
My feedback / Issues to fix:
1. "Memory card in use" Error. Despite proper removal of USB connection when using PC Suite or Mass Storage data transfer.
2. Configure to display "Firstname Lastname" format .
3. Configure Date display to American format (Wednesday December 03 2008).
4. Save current "configurations and user preferences" for future deployment after firmware upgrade or maintenance routine.
5. When receiving a Bluetooth message with (.sis or .sisx) attachment, provide save to memory card option rather than launching installtion process.
6. Setting up "WPA2 Only" mode on WLAN Security Settings for a particular Access Point will not allow communication despite the access point router/gateway is configured to work on this particular mode.
7. Camera is another isssue. Fix color fidelity and picture clarity issues.
Thanks
.......To be revised as needed.

Nice wishlist, willing to front up the extra cash to have these features? Got to remember that until these feature become more common they will stay as premium items and that you need to pay the extra money or move to a higher priced plan for them. Getting something like device locks would be great though but then what would device locks do for a customer base? and they do have the data encryption built in....
I would like to see a 16:9 aspect ratio in the next version of the phone myself. A holster pouch w/ belt clip rather than looking for and buying an ill fitting pouch cos I really don't like the pouch it comes with and cant find a nice one. The ability to have more than just the plain 6 applications on the screen, it used to scroll if I remember correctly in the older ones. The ability to skip music tracks when pressing volume up or down. 3.5mm audio jack. Time and date or at least time shown on the top strip of the display when going through the menu (there are a number of time I want to know the time and have to program juggle to find out what it is. More symbols on the other keys rather than just on the right hand side, I do have 2 thumbs available to use and fairly dexterous with either hand.
Less "download - **bleep**" in the web menu it takes me to a link with useless stuff on it.....
That GPS chip needs to be replaced, it has me walking down the road or in my neighbours house when I'm just lying in my lounge.
This wish is for all Nokia Symbian devices, I would love to see a Nokia App store. I'm sure it'll come around once they get the symbian foundation off the ground but i'm impatient and a lil lazy and haven't always got the time to find an application for something I have thought up. Blackberry and Apple have got something of a centralised store up and running, C'mon Nokia! Get a move on!

Spatial Wish List for 2015...

Here are my top two spatial wish list candidates for 2015. Feel free to join in!
#1. Allow DBAs to create and rebuild spatial indexes in any schema (as long as you have create any index rights), as you can with any other index type.
Currently, even with ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA=theowner; you cannot do this as SYS. As a DBA do not want to know / maintain all these schema owner passwords. Using the hash / resetting password process can work, but is a pain when you need to do a large number of user/schemas.
#2. Reduce spatial index creation / rebuild times.
Using current map reduce techniques, R-Tree index creation times have shown a great decrease in other environments. It would be VERY helpful if a future version of Oracle also followed these techniques so that all system resources can be applied to the creation / rebuild, instead of the essentially serial process that currently exists. I.E.: Parallel bulk-loading of spatial data with MapReduce: An R-tree case - Springer
Bryan

Hi Bryan,
Nice idea. Maybe it will achieve something, maybe not, but at least we've tried
@Paul: We are. But there are also some Oracle folks on here, so maybe we are being heard.
What I would like to see is even more integration. At the moment there still are a lot of exceptions for spatial data (try creating a spatial index without the privilege to create a sequence, for example). All those MDRT tables as well: I understand that they are necessary, but could they please be hidden somehow? Don't get me wrong, I still think Oracle has one of the best and most elegant solutions for storing spatial data ( and has had for the past decade really), but there still are enough differences between spatial and "normal" data that it takes quite a lot of extra knowledge to be able to deal with it properly. Which is not necessarily a bad thing by the way, but it can be aggravating at times.
Secondly: There still are quite a few spatial functions that are in Java. I can understand that it is easier that way, but it does impact performance. If all of the spatial functions could be moved closer to the core, it would be easier for us to achieve great performance (because it would be much more under our own control).
There's a ton of other things that I would like, but these two touch the core. Everything else is either laziness or being a kid in a candy store
Happy holidays everyone,
Stefan

My iPhone Wish List

Not sure if anybody cares, but here are the things I'd love to see happen with the iPhone. The phone is totally ******* and I really like a lot - I just wish it had the following features:
1. Unified email in-box instead of completely separate box for each account
2. The ability to create shortcuts and liberate functions from within the "settings" menu and move them to the main page OR
3. A software update that puts shortcuts for wifi and bluetooth on the main page - I turn them both on and off constantly (much more frequently than I watch You Tube on my phone, for example) to conserve battery life
4. Better battery life when wifi and/or bluetooth are activated
5. Improved performance from the Edge Network. With a wifi connection the thing hums, but with Edge sometimes it won't even completely download email (especially if it has attachments). That is lame.
6. Let us create our own **** ringtones! It's an iPod, fer chrissakes!
7. Enable cut and paste functions.
8. In future versions put a normal headphone jack on the iPhone so connectors made for iPod (especially for car connection to aux jack) will fit in it without that crazy $10 adapter.
There's my wish list! Now, if I close my eyes and hope against hope, or maybe I should just send these to Apple...

I, too, would like to see more out of my $600 iPhone. But I think most of your points are hopeless because:
+1. Unified email in-box instead of completely separate box for each account+
What's the point? Then you'll have less of an idea which message came from where.
+2. The ability to create shortcuts and liberate functions from within the "settings" menu and move them to the main page OR+
+3. A software update that puts shortcuts for wifi and bluetooth on the main page - I turn them both on and off constantly (much more frequently than I watch You Tube on my phone, for example) to conserve battery life+
Point taken, this might not be a horrible feature to have a soft button on the home page for turning on and off all -three- transmitters separately.
+4. Better battery life when wifi and/or bluetooth are activated+
This is entirely dependent on the hardware chips driving those transceivers. As such, you're dreaming.
+5. Improved performance from the Edge Network. With a wifi connection the thing hums, but with Edge sometimes it won't even completely download email (especially if it has attachments). That is lame.+
Welcome to EDGE. It's barely faster than an analog modem. Your 3G iPhone will be on the market in a year or two. Live with it until then.
+6. Let us create our own ** ringtones! It's an iPod, fer chrissakes!+
Oh yay for copyright and political issues. When you want to make a song a ringtone, everybody wants a cut. The song writer, because he wrote the song. The cell provider, because you're a member of their 'network'. And Apple because you should be buying the ringtone from iTMS.
The technical problems behind this lack of funcationality is minimal. The problem is ENTIRELY political. I wish Apple would just do it, but I think they're playing too much CYA to offend the other parties involved.
+7. Enable cut and paste functions.+
I think they simply overlooked this one. Once they settle on something that won't rip off Windows Mobile too bad, they'll implement it.
+8. In future versions put a normal headphone jack on the iPhone so connectors made for iPod (especially for car connection to aux jack) will fit in it without that crazy $10 adapter.+
Aaaaaaaaamen! This is the biggest failure of QA I've ever seen. Even normal iPod headphones won't fit!!!
All that said, I love the iPhone, really! I just want it to be the device we know it really should be.

My FinalCut Wish List

My Valentine's gift to Apple's FCP feedback site was the following Wish List (which I figured I'd also post here just for the heck of it).
Some of these feature requests may only apply to my particular -- some might say peculiar -- workflow, but I suspect a few of them might strike a responsive chord with other FinalCutters. (Whether any of them are on Apple's Do List is of course another question.)
(using FCP 5.1.2 under OX X 10.4.8)
One User's Final Cut Pro Wish List:
(sent to Apple's FinalCut Feedback site, Feb. 14/07)
An Undo History.
If Final Cut can "remember", say, 10 levels of Undos (or whatever that user pref is set to), then why can't it display an Undo History palette, with brief descriptions of each Undoable action - a la Adobe Photoshop?
The fact that even FCP's Edit Menu just says "Undo" and "Redo" -- with no attempt to even say what it is you're about to Undo or Redo, is really pretty sad.
A "Learning Mode".
An easy-to-turn on or off mode in which more detailed Hint Dialogs (like Tool Tips on steroids) appear onscreen -- with definitions, suggested uses, possible workflows, even links to the reference manual. All very context-sensitive, and all designed to hold-your-hand and help you understand a new area of the app.
I'm not the least bit too proud to say I would use that mode a LOT (at least when no-one else was looking!).
Option to Auto Scroll the Timeline while in Play.
Likewise for an audio waveform displayed in the Viewer. Is this feature really that hard to implement?
And while we're on the subject of things people have been requesting for a long time now, let's add another chorus for...
Robust, Reliable, User-Friendly and Intuitive Media Management.
Auto Pitch-Correction Option when doing Speed adjustments.
This seems like a no-brainer: just like the "Frame Blending, yes-or-no" checkbox when you Cmd-J to do a speed adjustment, there should be a "Pitch Correct Audio?" checkbox right in the same dialog. It's really very embarrassing that FinalCut still refuses to do this audio function. This is NOT something you should have to transfer into a whole 'nother app to do, or have to apply a special AU Pitch filter to the clip just to try and get it to sound normal again.
which reminds me...
How about a Round-Tripping to Soundtrack workflow that actually works?
(I've had two Apple Store "Creatives" unable to get it to work properly, and several FCP veterans advise me to just avoid that workflow altogether, at least until it's thoroughly "deflake-ified")
Better Labelling Options.
Would love a way to apply text labels (and color codes) to Timeline Tracks (in the left-side info pane). For example, so I can add the label "Dialog" to tracks A1 and A2, "Narration" to tracks A3 and A4, "Music" to tracks A5 and A6, etc, -- and then maybe even color-code groups of tracks for quick reference.
And how about a much clearer, user-definable indicator to highlight which window (Browser/Viewer/Timeline) is currently active -- a selectable color for the active title bar (or even framing the entire window) -- instead of the current medium-grey vs. light-grey all against a grey background (not the most dynamic visual cue).
And just as I can color-code Browser icons, I would also like to be able to color-code Timeline tabs -- AND change their left-to-right order simply by dragging.
Miscellaneous
A few quirky little things I'd like to be able to at least try:
An Option/Preference for the Timeline to be auto-selected when you drag a clip onto it.
An Option to keep a Timeline Zoom-In centered on the playhead position, rather than on the start of a selected clip.
A Poster Frame option for thumbnails in the Timeline (especially if one's been set in the Browser; as opposed to the current first-frame-or-nothing default)
I'd like the ability to Link multiple video items to a single audio item in Timeline, and create a merged clip from that selection (using the audio clip as the "anchor")
And why does the "Delete All markers" command only delete markers from selected clips where the playhead happens to be -- I still can't find a way to delete clip markers from ALL selected clips, regardless of where the playhead is.
I hope that most of these features have already been incorporated into the next release of FinalCut -- and if not, that you'll give serious consideration to implementing them as soon as possible. Your users will thank you.

Hi John
This ones a User to User forum, no Apple reps here
Indeed -- hence the opening line of my post:
"My Valentine's gift to Apple's FCP feedback site was the following Wish List" and
"One User's Final Cut Pro Wish List:
(sent to Apple's FinalCut Feedback site, Feb. 14/07)"
Also why I didn't post the letter as a Question actively seeking help. It's simply offered in the spirit of a Mike-Meyers-as-Linda-Richmond "talk amongst yourselves" moment ("I'll give you a topic: Final Cut is never final, but often cutting. Discuss.")
Nevertheless, thanks for the feedback. Further to which...
A "Learning Mode"
we are our own learning mode right here!
And an invaluable one, to be sure. I just feel that FinalCut could still build in a few extra "stairs" to make its learning curve a bit easier to climb -- stairs which can of course be skipped entirely by the more experienced users.
An Option to keep a Timeline Zoom-In centered on
the playhead position, rather than on the start of a
selected clip.
If there is no selected clip then the zoom centers on
the playhead. If there is a selected clip then the
zoom centers on the selection. Or just use the zoom
tool (z) and zoom wherever you like. They pretty
much have this one covered, its just a case of using
the right tool at the right time, not just adding
more tools/options.
This was a small one -- and perhaps one I shouldn't have bothered including. I just personally wouldn't mind a User Pref to the affect of "Timeline zoom (when using Option+=) always centers on Playhead" (the default for which would be Off, but which I in my own world of weirdness would turn On).
I'd like the ability to Link multiple video items to
a single audio item in Timeline, and create a merged
clip from that selection (using the audio clip as the
"anchor")
Thats called "Nesting". Check out Sequence menu >
Nest Items...
I've actually been having to do a fair bit of Nesting, often of just individual clips -- to the extent that I now have a Nest Item button in my Timeline button bar.*
What I was looking for here is something a bit different: really just the mirror image of when you have several audio clips Linked to a single video "anchor" clip. It would be in situations where I'm using a continuous chunk of audio to which I sync up bits of short video clips. Some of those video clips are from that same (call it the master) take, while others are from different takes in which the actor spoke a phrase in the same rhythm. In certain situations, I just want to be able to Cmd-L Link ALL those video clips on the Timeline to the one Audio clip, while at the same time not linking other interspersed video clips which are simply cutaways. But I still want all the clips to remain separate and un-nested.
* Don't know if that explanation makes any sense, but as to the Nesting issue itself: Is there any way to force a Filter effect to be applied AFTER a Motion tab effect? I'm asking because I have a sequence to which I'm applying a Widescreen Matte filter to each clip. (The filter has to be applied to each clip individually to allow for vertical repositioning using the Offset control.) But some of the clips also require a Scale adjustment under the motion tab, increasing the image size to 105 or 110%, for example. In these cases, I find I have to apply the Scale change, then Nest the Clip, THEN apply the Widescreen Matte filter to the nested clip. If I try to do both in the original unnested clip, the Widescreen matte gets applied first, then that entire matted image is Scaled to whatever % I've chosen -- and that obviously changes the apparent size of the matte onscreen.
While you can easily change the order in which different Filters get applied to a clip, I've yet to find a way to change the order in which Filter effects vs. Motion tab effects are applied. Maybe I'll post this issue as an actual Question in a new thread.
Meantime, I hope that clarifies a couple of the quirkier items on my FinalCut WIsh List.
Cheers,
John Bertram

Wish list / Bugs for E61 Firmware......

hi, just trying to see if this is a good way to feedback to nokia.....Feel free to endorse or add to the list....hehe
Wish List
1. A2DP
2. Sip can use access point group
3. Time of SMS to show sender sending time instead of receiving time.
4. Can choose to search by 1st char of name in contacts
Bugs
1.

I just got my new E-61 yesterday. It still on ver 1 firmware. I bought it on ebay India, its product code is 0530151 (which I believe is a "Euro Silver"). Its a made in Finland piece having "english" and "nederlands" as the two languages. NSU shows updates available but I am scared to death to try that out (all those KB remapping issue scare me) and so I will wait till I am comfortable with the phone.
I notice a few bugs already
1) I made a new profile but if I chose it instead of General, I lose out on having the date in Active Standby page. Considering that there are acres of unused space, its strange that Nokia will do it by design.
2) The voice recorder button is very easy to press by mistake and there seem no way to stop these accidental recordings.
3) If I chose Tools-Setting-Network-Cell Info Display as "ON", I am supposed to get my carrier supplied location text on the screen but it comes momentarily and then gets hidden due to the fact that bluetooth icon obscures it. Even if I keep bluetooth OFF, it still shows cell info part only momentarily. This looks like a bug to me.
4) WLAN and GPRS connection don't close when I close the Nokia browser. Is this by design? In my earlier 6670 I was using Opera and there when I used to exit the connection will close automatically.

Wish List Updates for Snow Leopard

If you support any of the following, please send them to Apple's suggestion box.
I would like Apple to offer the following settings, preferably without third party fixes. HOWEVER, feel free to respond with your favorite work-around solutions. I need to learn Terminal!
1. Safari - close download window upon completion
2. Safari - remove ALL cookies and cached items when "resetting" same. There are always a select few that have to be manually deleted
3. Safari - have a built in video downloader/converter - Yes there are good third party solutions for this
4. Safari - allow Private Viewing as a default option
1.Pointer options - Create an option in preferences to enable the pointer to automatically go the default option selection (as is possible in that "other" operating system. You know, the one that pirated the window concept)
1. Apple mail - #1 request is identify a way to allow the numerous superior email clients interface as seamlessly with other native apps.
2. Apple mail - short of that, create a setting to turn off or allow a time setting to override an email automatically being marked as read if it happens to be highlighted with you open the app, thereby appearing in the preview pane. Appearing in the preview pane does not mean I have read it.
3. Apple mail - provide an option for creating return receipts requests
4. Apple mail - What it that box that appears around blocks of text in received mail that makes editing more difficult than it should be
5. Apple mail - Provide a tool to apply the formatting to other parts of the email (sort of like the paint brush tool in that OS with the "W" word)
6. Apple mail - If I label a sender as "not-junk" do not put label mail from this sender as Junk. I do not want all senders in my address book.
7. Apple mail - If I label a sender as "JUNK" future mail from this sender should also be JUNK, no?
8. Apple mail - Create a rule that allows "Bounce" as an option
1. iPhoto - I know I must be missing something here, so please chime in -
How or what can I do to save photos into iPhoto when I am not using iPhoto. The most common annoyance for me is saving photos off email attachment or from the web. There MUST be something I am doing wrong. Where is the "Save to iPhoto Library" option?
1. QuickTime - Please bring back QT Player 7!!!
12. I know we mustn’t use "other" browsers, but in those rare events that it happens - how nice would it be to have a native bookmark sync option or common folder?
13. Finder - allow more columns in the viewing options for Spotlight
Please feel free to add to the list.

Re: Wish List Updates for Snow Leopard
Feb 12, 2012 9:59 AM (in response to CAPTJON)
So may words, so little help. You do realize that they call this a Support Community, right?
1. Safari - close download window upon completion
Mine already does this, and I'm sure you can do it in Snow Leopard, too.
     When you refer to "mine," what OS are you referring to? Are you willing to share your knowledge on where I might find this capability?
3. Safari - have a built in video downloader/converter - Yes there are good third party solutions for this
That's not the job of a browser, and it's not going to happen. Keep dreaming.
     Thanks again for the helpful advice. I am impressed with our willingness to help.
4. Safari - allow Private Viewing as a default option
You can turn it on yourself. There's also AppleScript, or assigning a keyboard shortcut.
     I am very aware of how to turn it on. I would prefer to leave it on by default. Care to share your AppleScript knowledge?
Apple mail - provide an option for creating return receipts requests
It's been there for years—where have you been?
     Thanks again for the poweruser tip, very helpful.
1. Apple mail - #1 request is identify a way to allow the numerous superior email clients interface as seamlessly with other native apps.
That's entirely your opinion, which isn't shared by the vast majority of Mac users.
     I am sorry I do not share you opinion, nor did I know you speak for the majority of Mac users. Perhaps with your superior guidance I would become a power user too?
Where is the "Save to iPhoto Library" option?
Have you tried looking at the options given to you when you receive email with attachments? There's a Save button in the Header section that gives you the option to save the image to iPhoto.
     And how does this sugggestion help when downloading a photo from the web?
Perhaps if you spent time getting to know your Mac and OS X, you'd find that there aren't nearly as many "issues" as you seem to imagine.
     Yes, and I perhaps if you would share a bit of your superior knowledge I would agree. That was my hope in posting to a "support community." You put a fair amount of effort into your criticism. Just "imagnie..."
Correct Answer

Wish list posts - support and recommendations

I think TongucY has the right idea with the Wish List posts. If you think a feature is needed, this is one of the few easy ways to let Oracle know. 'Vote' for a feature, capabiltiy, or improvement if you think it is needed in XE.
I have a few recommendations when making a wish list post:
1) Don't bother asking for features that are only in Enterprise Edition. (You can reference the Licensing document to determine which are only in Enterprise Edition here
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/license.111/b28287/toc.htm)
2) Explain how/why moving the feature is a benefit to 'us'.
3) Moving a feature into XE potentially loses Oracle money by reducing sales of the 'for fee' product. As a company legally responsible to it's shareholders, they need to know how giving something away is going to benefit the company. Try to explain how this will help them.

For example SQL Server 2005 Express Edition compared to Oracle 10g XE have similar limitations like -
- 1 CPU
- 1 GB RAM
- 4 GB user data etc.
There is one difference, SQL Server Express Edition one can create up to 16 instances on a single box - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345154.aspx
So maybe another strategy can be preparing similar wishlists to the rivalry, I feel this one difference may not be in our wishlist but maybe it is at the top of the list already :)

My Wish List Disappeared

I was reviewing audio books on my wish list and the list just became empty. I have stopped and restarted iTunes and I have manually re-logged into my apple account but the list keeps coming up empty. I have tried both the shortcut on the top right and from the drop down on the top left but nothing. Is this a temporary issue with Apple, is my list gone for good or is there a way to recover it?
I'm on a Mac running OS10.9.4 and iTunes 11.3.1
Thanks.

Hi Tom,
Glad to hear that you were reviewing audio books. I wouldn't worry about your wish list - for now at least. And the reason is that Apple's servers have recently been virtually besieged by glitches. You can read in the mainstream media circus about how some celebrities supposedly had their personal pictures "hacked" from Apple's iCloud servers. Personally, I don't believe that is anything other than a publicity stunt. The reason being that (apparently) no ransom demands went along with the supposed hacks.
Tom, I hate to be the one who tells you this, but the USA and our corporations large & small are currently under cyber-attack. Brian Krebs is a security 'white hat' - if you will. If you navigate to his website you can read the proof about which countries are currently playing host to numerous, devious, cyber-criminals & hackers.
This has been going on for some time now, but since the USA is leading the way, so to speak, using economic sanctions against certain foreign "entities", the backlash is currently like a digital tsunami. In other words, Apple... along with all kinds of companies (high-tech or otherwise), government agencies, etc... are in an ongoing process of tightening mutilayered security protocols.
Hang in there Tom... give Apple some time to make things right... history reveals that they always do.
BTW, I just signed into iTunes & my wish is fine. Perhaps yours is too.
Sometimes by checking out the following link, it reveals if there are current problems http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
note: click the arrows on that page to bring the graph to Sept. 2nd for an example of "iTunes Store - Some users were affected".
Best Regards,
