Consider starting your own website called OnlyPositiveAppleComments.com or OnlyPraisingApple.com or similar. If this site actually heeded your wish, it would dry up to nothing. Every thread with 500 posts of only "rah rah Apple" would quickly get old.

The counterpoint when it's actually constructive is often more interesting than the "Apple can do no wrong" cheerleading. If it's only the koolaid drinkers, imagine how boring that would be.

If you personally only want positive spin visit Apple PR http://www.apple.com/pr/ all (Apple) positive, all of the time.

Haha agreed!

Not sure how shutting off your internet is a form of hacking but that scares me that you think that way, makes me wonder if you understand why people are complaining or you just enjoy worrying about complainers.

You obviously misread my post. I was in no way implying that shutting down my internet was in any way, shape, or form related to the attempted access to my MacRumors account. How did you even make that connection?
 
I hope iTunes 12 can fix the home sharing and AppleTV. It has been a mess, super slow and make impossible to watch anything from my computer. It's not the network because iTunes Store, Netflix and anything over the net works just fine.
 
Great, can't wait til my entire workstation looks like an android phone with gui's designed by an 8 year old on speed.

Apple used to make beautiful interfaces that were lush, rich, deep and made it enjoyable if you had to sit in front of them of all day. I miss those.

Same lame tiny text and tiny artwork. Does search at least work now?

So do I.
 
Gotta love how now that Apple has gone so-called "flat" with their design (even though no one at Apple has ever used this term) the flat sucks crowd has come out of the woodwork and every thing is allegedly more confusing just because it doesn't have gradients or drop shadows all over the place.

I agree but the other way too: ...the way so many people on this site go about praising Apple no matter what can also be unproductive.

I personally find little value or learn little from posts at either end of the range. The Apple can do no wrong and Apple can do no right crowds both lose all credibility when everything Apple is always positive/negative. I sometimes see the name of the poster and know what their take on the topic is going to be before I even read what they've posted. I love to see the IDs of those I know can go either way on any given topic. That will generally be the good stuff (IMO).

If you think about this kind of site as a place to share thoughts, ideas and debate them, then we need the more positive and more negative. All rah-rah would kill all debate. All bashing/whining would also kill all debate. You need some sides of an issue to have much of a discussion. Else the "I'm first" post could gush a bunch of praise or a bunch of bash/whine and then the subsequent 500 posts could all be "this" posts quoting post #2. Can you say BORING?

I don't necessarily think that heaping praise on Apple is unproductive. The internet has so much negativity, especially when it comes to Apple, that it's nice to have a place where like-minded people can share their love for Apple. The flipside of that coin is that you don't need to bash other companies to praise Apple. That is unproductive, in my opinion. I saw someone earlier saying that he wanted nothing to do with "filthy, dirty Android users". I mean... really? :rolleyes:

Again, to be clear, there is always room for good debates. People just get too emotional to handle them, unfortunately. I wish that what you and I were doing here was the norm and not the exception. We clearly disagree, but we can be civil and respectful about it.
 
earth to Apple, dont pull another stupid stunt such as you did with hiding the sidebar in itunes. It makes the program much harder to use and for what? So it "looks nice"?
This is what is holding you back from more explosive growth. The petty design changes that improve nothing but someones resume.

I guess I just see it the other way... that there is so much heaping praise for Apple here and across the Internet that it's nice to have a place where some objective minds gather to see and talk about Apple's good and bad. Funny that we can be seeing the very same place that differently.

I have a hard time imagining this site or another that filtered out ALL of the negative (or all of the positive) about Apple working well. It wouldn't be hard to put up such a site. A moderator would probably have a harder job keeping the non-conformist comments out. I question it's popularity. I think the debate is the draw.

How interesting would this (or any) site be if every person's comments were all positive (only) regardless of what Apple was doing/saying/etc? I suspect for a thread or three, there might be a sense of like-minded community. But after a while, it seems it would get repetitive. How many interesting ways can people praise the Apple before it recycled? How many recycles before it would become boring?

I would think that if there was enough money to prop up such a site, it would exist. And then those who feel that all they want is heaping praise could go there and see only that from the others who only want to share and heap that same praise. So where's that site? Someone hasn't built it yet or no one can make a drama-free bulletin board site sustain and make enough money to pay the moderator(s)?

I think Apple's normal quality control and vision have been less than stellar and lower than expectations which generally gives rise to the throngs of frustrated people.
 
I don't mind the new design. Works for me.

What I really want is for them to fix all the iTunes Match bugs. I have playlists that refuse to sync between devices all the time. It's really irritating.
 
It is unfortunate iTunes 12 is continuing on the path of iTunes 11.
I have an iPhone 5 running 6.1.4 and an iPad 4 running 6.1.3 with iTunes 10.7 , and I will continue to use 10.7 & ios 6 until it absolutely is no longer possible. iTunes match works so much better, multiple windows, faster syncing, genius, better search. There are really no downsides.
iTunes 11 & 12 have been gutted.
iOS 6 may not look as nice as iOS7 & 8 for some. But, I still really like it and I find it more reliable.
 
Too light to read

The light grey font in the iTunes store is so light I can barley read it. I don't get it. What's the point of lightening the font so dramatically?

Seriously, the artist and song names are barely legible.

And the striped "popularity" bars are just plain hard on the eyes.

I admit I have old eyes and an older non-retina computer, but they have to have people older than 50 on the design team. Or perhaps not.

We can hint Apple we think this way is wrong by not upgrading our Macs to Yosemite. That's the only real way and it's easier to do than on iPhones where you can't roll back to previous system after an upgrade.
In addition sending a feedback via bugreport tool also helps.

Apple did that to Apple.com as well...no contrast must be a fad but since when does Apple follow fads, they used to set the standard that everyone else copied but their standard was the result of studies and not fads...that's why people have been whining...plus "the best product pipeline in 25 years' has been nothing short of lackluster.

Yeah, because Apple keeps messing things up basic things in iTunes. iTunes 10 or 11 broke the ability to burn a playlist spanned across multiple CDs, and it's still not fixed. It always claims that whatever second CD you put it in is not blank. iTunes 11 still sometimes doesn't show the currently playing song. The new search GUI often lags really badly or has unpredictable behavior. I'll bet some people won't like the new "flat" design.

When I got my first Mac, it had iTunes 4, and THAT just worked. It was perfect up until 9 or 10.
