iTunes: add tracks in order

Submitted by migueld on December 14, 2008 to Annoyance, Usability

When importing from a CD tracks are added in order (track # order), but when importing from another location they are not. For example when getting music from Amazon, the tracks are added out of order.

Add tracks by track # order.

Allow "Website suggestion" category for Aqua Taskforce

Submitted by Grey_Podder on August 27, 2008 to Annoyance

Currently we cannot make suggestions about the Aqua Taskforce site itself, even though this feature is present on the sister site, Aero Taskforce.

Provide a category for "Website suggestion" to allow users to make suggestions to improve the Aqua Taskforce website.

Submitted by dmitriid on August 26, 2008 to Annoyance, Usability

If you have a finder window in Space 1 and a Finder window in Space 2, you will never know what Space Cmd-Tabbing will bring you into.

Also, there is no way to switch between windows in the same app if theey are in two or more different (more...)

Present windows from the same app on two different spaces as two different apps with the space number attached

Keyboard selection support

Submitted by dgood on August 23, 2008 to Annoyance, Usability

Shift + Option + {arrow, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down} should work for navigating through text, folders, the Finder window, etc.

For example, when selecting files to move, Shift + Option + Page Down should select all files on each screen (more...)

Add more support for keyboard selection using these key combinations. See Windows XP, Vista, etc.

'Date deleted' column in Trash

Submitted by manujarvinen on February 20, 2010 to Annoyance, Usability

There should be a 'date deleted' column in the Trash so that you can find easily what you have recently deleted.

It's a pain in the ass if you need a file you put into the Trash last week, but can't remember its name. (more...)

Front Row will not play rented movies

Submitted by dehetepappie on October 29, 2009 to Annoyance

OK so we can rent movies in the Store but only watch them through iTunes or via an AppleTV, and not through Front Row? Way to go Apple!

Get your asses in gear and spend some time coding on that redheaded stepchild of yours called Front Row. YouTube and Flickr support like the AppleTV also wouldn't hurt.

Click-Through: no consistent behaviour

Submitted by mojo2012 on May 12, 2009 to Annoyance, Usability

If you click on a file in an inactive Finder window then the file gets selected. A click on a toolbar icon doesn't do anything. iCal reacts the same way. But Safari and Mail have no click-through. If Mail is inactive, you can't select a different (more...)

Either completly deactivate click through for all apps or make it the default for all apps.

Odd phrasing in iTunes Smart Playlist

Submitted by Grey_Podder on January 24, 2009 to Annoyance

A decidedly minor annoyance. Create a Smart Playlist that relies on the Year field. The choices include a year greater than or less than a given year.

The words after and before are more appropriate. Although some years may be considered greater than others, I suppose!

Finder: Wronge crendentials in "connect to server" dialog

Submitted by mojo2012 on November 15, 2008 to Annoyance

If you connect to a network share via de "connect to server" dialog, normally after some time you're asked to enter the username and the password.
If you enter the wrong credentials after some time a message is displayed that informs (more...)

The try again button should allow the user to enter the credentials again. The field could be prefilled. So if the user enter the right credentials and the reason why this failed is another one, then the user has just to click ok.

Customizable "Show item info" in Finder.

Submitted by hoopla_punta on October 30, 2008 to Annoyance, Usability

Show item info of Icon View in Finder is rather limited, it should be able to show the date last modified and created, and other information like size.

Allow a drop down list to customize "Show item info" in Icon View.

Safari Bookmarks bar

Submitted by brice on August 20, 2008 to Annoyance, Usability

When you click a 'folder' (set of bookmarks) in the 'Bookmarks bar' you can't switch between various 'folders' by hovering like you do with the apple menu bar, you have to click each time to get the list of bookmarks.

Pages: Enable copy for selected text of a given style

Submitted by Ptujec on December 13, 2009 to Annoyance, Bug, Usability

There is an option in Pages which enables you to select all uses of a given style (see attached screenshot). Unfortunately one can't do anything with this selected text. Would be nice to be able to copy this selection.

There is no native support for read/write NTFS in OS X

Submitted by bastyani on November 13, 2009 to Annoyance, Usability

Currently there is no native support for write mode on NTFS disks under OS X. Only read from NTFS formatted disks is supported. The situation is perhaps more complicated than it seems as probably there are some legal issues between Apple and Microsoft (more...)

Luckily for now there are some free alternatives ( like NTFS-3G etc. ), but I really think that this should work straight out of the box.
