Can anything be done about this?

I have noticed lately an alarming increase in the number of posts with signatures including much private information that has to be later removed. In my ignorance, I tend to associate this with the increasing numbre of people posting from their mobile phones.
Regardless of the causes for this, can something be done to automatically prevent this from happening? As I understand things, once such data has been posted in a public forum such as this, the damage is already done and cannot be corrected simply by deleting the data from the post.
Of course, I am perfectly aware that the responsibility for not posting sensitive personal data lies with the poster, not with this site.

I guess I just regard spammers as a nuisance that's already dealt with by the anti-spam systems that must be in use by anyone who uses eMail.
That is why all of my POP accounts go through MailWasher, before even the headers are downloaded to my e-mail program.
Now, I sort of feel about the spammers, as I did about people, who stole radios, etc., from automobiles. Going way back, my wife's Saab had a premium sound system, with a security feature. If removed from the auto, it took a 20 character pass-code to ever activate again. I always felt that things would be better, if there was a satchel charge in the radio, where if one entered the wrong code three times, it exploded, with great violence!
Maybe we could work out something, along those lines, for spammers?

I really am trying to invest heavily in Intune as a tool, but loading the admin console in IE takes about 10 minutes. Can anything be done about this? I don't imagine it is a client side issue but figured worth an ask.

I agree with Jason. It's not instant but certainly doesn't take very long either. I would suggest that you may have a Silverlight problem. Intune can be administered from any Silverlight-enabled web browser.

Dear Steve, will anything be done about this wireless connectivity issue?

This is no fun whatsoever....
I am telling you - browsing interenet on iMac is no fun, seriously.

People, help me in refining this list - did I leave something out?
P.S. I was thinking lately, why, after spending so much money, should I spend several days already, in agregate, trying to understand the issue and how it should be resolved? Have I not paid for not having such problems?

Here is a lot more:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/wirelessnetworking/topic4035.html
Highly interesting is the post of J.Exby which i reproduce here:
For months I've not been alone in holding to the notion that the airport client software on Mac OS X 10.4.x has been problematic and unstable in certain (noisy, crowded, channel overlapped) wireless environments. Issues littered around the Internet Mac forums include problems of networks appearing, then disappearing. This is a difficult problem to pin down, given the difficulty of reproducing the conditions that might cause wireless network dropouts.
A major symptom of the problem was seeing the constant messages of:
"An error occurred joining the AirPort network" (Try Again) (Cancel)
when attempting to connect to a wireless network, despite that network being seen, having correct security settings, etc.
Various temporary fixes/ideas floated around the mac community have included:
- reseting pram, nvram and PMU
- installing 10.4 from scratch, instead of 10.3 to 10.4 upgrade process
- Repairing permissions, run Combo updaters, etc
- putting system to sleep or reboot for temporary connection fix
- applying AirPort 2005-001 patch (or not)
- upgrading (or downgrading!) AirPort basestation firmware
- changing AirPort channels
- enabled (or disabling) Interference Robustness
- disabling Bluetooth and BT peripherals
- removing WEP/WPA passwords out of Keychain
- running Keychain First Aid on user/login keychains
- buying new AirPort extreme cards
- replacing AirPort base stations with other vendor hardware, etc.
With the stability of our Windows XP clients now (after driver updates) and the change from Apple base stations to Belkin Wireless Pre-N Router having no appreciable benefit for our Mac notebooks, the OS X AirPort client software suspicions only grew.
During troubleshooting I always have
Applications--->Utilities--->Console
and
iStumbler (96)
running, and I watch output as wireless scans are performed.
From the Terminal I also run:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport -s
and usually see constant
AirPortScanner WirelessScan error -2013261821 airpInternalErr
messages.
After two days of testing (and fixing?) I am even more convinced there are bugs in the powerpc 10.4.x AirPort Extreme Framework!
This is what I found:
Environment at our office:
- wireless Network A (802.11g channel 1, WPA personal)
- wireless Network B (802.11b channel 6, WEP 40bit ascii)
- wireless Network C (802.11g channel 11, WPA personal)
(WAR-marching around our office exterior shows at least 12 outside wireless networks found at various signal strengths!)
Test systems used:
- iBook G4 (10.3.x and 10.4.5)
- Powerbook G4 (10.4.5)
- Intel iMac (10.4.5)
Primary symptom on iBook: networks not displaying long enough under the AirPort icon/menu (or Internet Connect) to connect to ANY network reliably! Perhaps connect to Network A intermittently, never even see Network C.
iStumbler showing some networks respond to poll, then immediately stagnate/disappear.
Primary symptom on Powerbook: stable connections to Network C most times, difficulty "switching" to Network B or A once moving closer to source. Usually stable "seeing" networks via AirPort menu icon, but still have occasional dropouts (due to fluctuating signal strength or interference?).
Primary symptom on Intel iMac: NO PROBLEMS! Can connect to (and steadily "see") all valid Networks A, B, C !
iStumbler constantly polls all available networks, with no dropouts.
Steps taken:
1. Wipe iBook hard drive, install 10.3 from dvd. AirPort signals unreliable.
1a. Perform all 10.3.x Software updates, Repair Permissions, reboot. AirPort still unreliable.
2. Reset PRAM, nvram, PMU. no improvements.
3. Reseat AirPort Extreme card, ensure antenna is firmly plugged in. AirPort still unreliable.
4. Wipe iBook, install 10.4.3 "fresh" from Full retail version DVD. AirPort still unreliable.
4a. Perform all 10.4.5 Software (combo) updates, Repair Permissions, reboot. AirPort still unreliable.
5. Hold down the Option key, and click on the AirPort icon in the menu bar.
select About AirPort...
pay particular attention to each system showing:
iBook: AirPort Framework 421.13.0
powerbook: AirPort Framework 421.13.0
intel iMac: AirPort Framework 426.1.0
Aha! A big difference with the AirPort Framework component version on the Intel iMac!
6. So, using the Terminal let's get this newer Apple80211.framework onto the iBook.
First on the intel iMac:
cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
sudo tar cf ~/intelApple80211frame.tar Apple80211.framework
Copy this intelApple80211frame.tar file onto a USB thumb drive, CDR, iPod, scp, etc. to copy it onto the iBook (home directory).
7. With the tar file copied into the home area on the iBook, turn off iBook's AirPort via the menubar icon.
Now launch Terminal and:
mkdir backup-framework
cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
sudo mv Apple80211.framework ~/backup-framework/
sudo tar xvpf ~/intelApple80211frame.tar
Launch Disk Utility, Repair Permissions on boot drive.
Reboot iBook.
8. Turn Airport on via the menubar icon.
iBook now has HUGE improvements in wireless connectivity! It can "see" all Networks A, B, C reliably and can connect to any of them when in range (having enough signal strength). Switching between networks is successful 90% of the time. Occasional message of:
"An error occurred joining the AirPort network (Try Again) (Cancel)"
usually works after clicking (Try Again), whereas before Try Again almost always failed.
I am unsure how this newer Apple80211.framework will affect future Software Updates on the iBook, but frankly I could care less now that it's able to access all of our wireless networks!
I am unsure if this is the magic-bullet solution for a majority of people, but I'm stunned that Apple appears to be providing new and improved Apple80211.framework software with the intel iMacs, but many of us have been fighting AirPort problems on PowerPC platforms for months!
Come on Apple, OS X 10.4.5 should contain the SAME software component versions for ALL CPU platforms!

HT203687 has anything been done about this yet

Icloud doesn't work with outlook 2007. Get message to click to repair but still doesn't work

I do not think it is a flash issue especially since youtube works at your home. It seems to have something to do with the wireless router. Youtube works fine connected via Verizon 3G in our office. It also works at our employees' homes using wireless. When we connect wireless at our office via an iPad, the youtube app says "the operation could not be completed." Using Safari, the video tries to load, but never plays. Youtube works fine on our Android devices connected wirelessly at the office so it has something to do with the iPad itself.
We also cannot download purchased movies/tv shows from the iTunes store when we are connected wirelessly at work because it says the file cannot be played on the iPads, but it files download fine on home wireless networks.
The problem appears to be with our wi-fi settings in our office or with the iPad settings. I found a comment on another post about changing the wireless router mode setting from up to 130 Mbps to up to 54 Mbps.
I will post again if I find a solution, but if others have solved this issue, please post.

Can anything be done about sound quality through the ear speaker?

I tested the 4S in the store prior to purchase and thought call quality was fine. However, in day-to-day reality it's proving to be a bit difficult. My previous phone, an old Motorola Razr, produced nice crisp sound, whereas the iPhone tends toward a duller, cottony quality.
Is there any fix? Am I stuck?

Thanks for your suggestion, but the issue has been constant from new. Suspecting it might be the hardware, I returned the unit for a new one, and there's been no difference.
Now, I'm aware that oftentimes a call can only be so good in part due to the quality of the transmission. But my previous device, a Motorola Razr, provided a crisp enough sound to offset all but the most unitelligible conversations, whereas I struggle like crazy with the iPhone.

Perhaps move to the Japanese forums if any?

According to Google's translator, it's Chinese, not Japanese, and there is no Chinese Adobe forum. Google gives me this for the title:

And for the text of the message,

Surely frequent users of the Dreamweaver forum are more likely to guess what the question is, and how to answer it?

What can be done about this outrageous bill??!

Ok, here's some back story; My girlfriend and I were on the same plan for about a year or so. Here recently we broke up and she continued on the plan for about another month while we were working out some money issues. During that time (not having any Wifi at her house) she constantly watched shows and such on her phone, which sky rocketed the phone bill into it's 70th overage allowance!!! Her line ended up using a total of 80 gigs while mine only used about 5, which is normal. I kicked her off immediately and had her accept responsibility for her own line. I know, I should of done it earlier, but it was a different situation then. Lesson learned I guess.
When that happened, it obviously started a fresh new plan for her and I was stuck with a $1,400 bill! I asked Verizon (customer reps, hadn't spoken to any "supervisors" yet) if there was anything that could be done as far as her taking responsibility for her part of the bill. The obvious answer was no, simply because I'm the account owner and it's my responsibility, which I think is absolutely ridiculous! I'm not the one sitting her ringing up a bill that high. She did it on her line, it's her responsibility! That should follow her over to her account, and she should be liable for paying for the charges she rung up! That would be fair, right?? The way they have it set up now isn't in any way, shape or form fair. When asking about how much time I'd have to pay it, I was told they could only push it out a couple of days. I don't make anywhere near that much in such a short time, let alone with having other bills to pay and everything, and they expect you to just cough it over that quick!
I'm on here to see if there's anything at all that can be done about this stupidly high bill, or if any Verizon associates here might be able to help. If not, I'll take my number and go to another carrier. This is ridiculous and I'm not at all happy!

As the account owner, you are personally responsible for all charges on your account. Period.
If you feel that another person is responsible for the charges, then Small Claims Court would be the avenue for you to explore.
You might want to contact Verizon Financial Services and set up payment arrangements for the amount you owe. There might be more that they can do to schedule a series of payments.

And even though she is off your account now, you might also want to set up data alerts on your account so that you get alerted when you are near your data limit. It's one thing to be a little bit over, but 80GB? Seriously?

Can anything be done to change the white on grey color scheme in Bookmarks?

I just upgraded my Mac Book Pro to OS X Version 10.9.1. I was horrified when I got a look at what Apple has done to Safari! I have macular degeneration - which means that my eyesight is slowly fading away. Bookmarks was especially difficult because all of the bookmrks are shown with a white on grey color scheme. And when the "new" Apple color schemes are not white on grey - they are grey on white. I simply can NOT see anything which is white on grey. OR white on ANY light color. In order to be able to see anything, I need to have contrast. For example, as I type on this page, the scroll bar is grey on white. It has become almost impossible for me to find the scroll bar on most pages. Previously, my scroll bars where usually bright blue. I can see bright blue on white - but NOT grey on white. I can read white letters on BRIGHT or DARK Blue -but NOT light blue.
Apple has made SO many strides in makes computers accessable to those of us who have no other choice except to deal with disabilities! Can ANYTHING be done to change the white on grey color scheme which Apple has adopted throughout its system?
Now, in order to use my Bookmarks, I have to go to my Edit Bookmarks page. Even that solutation is not all that helplful, because the lettering on the Edit Bookmarks page is so small.
Also - I discovered that the "new" Mail pages had the same problem. For the most part, the "innovations" in mail make all of the pages too busy for me to be able to sort my mail or keep track of it in any way. I had to choose to return to the "classic" mail option to be able to get a reasonable facsimile of being able to handle my E mail accounts!
And, of course, once again, the scroll bar on my mail accounts is also grey on white - so it takes a lot of searching for me to just find the scroll bar when I need to scroll down in an E mail!
ALSO - I was equally horrified when I discovered that the Upgrade to Version 10.9.1 made it impossible for me to visit some of my favorite music pages - most of which use MIDI files! I can no longer hear any of my favorite MIDI music pages! I TUNES, of course, is in love with people like Lady Gaga - the type of performers - and performances - which have no relevance to older Americans.
I do volunteer work at a local Assisted Living facility and one of the greatest advances we have been able to make with Alzheimers patients is the way in which Senior Citizens respond to music from their time period. Unfortunately, most of the music which senior citizens prefer to listen to is music which has been preserved in MIDI pages. A few weeks before I "upgraded" my Mac Book Pro - I could take my computer over to the local Assisted Living Facility and play music from Hymn Time's Cyberhymnal or the Angelwinks tunes - but I can NO longer do that with the current Apple "upgrade" in version 10.9.1 - because the music from those MIDI pages can no longer be heard by anyone! The page comes up and you can see the writing - but no one can hear any of the music. We understand that a group in Switzerland has been working on an APP for I Phones which DOES make MIDI files accessable - so surely it should be possible to provide a way for Version 10.9.1 users to listen to MIDI files, such as those provided by Hymn Time's Cyber Hymnal or by Angelwinks!
You will notice that I changed the font for this to Arial Black - primarily because I could NOT see what I was writing when I first began - because, once again, the color scheme was grey on white.

HT1689 Can anything be done if my iPod was stolen, and I still have it registered under my account?

I never unregistered my iPod from my account, and it was recently stolen.. If I still have the serial code, can anything be done? and how do I go about getting it back if I find where it is? All passwords have been changed, and I DID NOT have iCloud on.

Well since you failed to do anything to protect it such as Find My Phone and app and iCloud that doesn't help much either.

I have been trying to export a keynote powerpoint with voice over to quick time. It keeps crashing. Can anything be done?

Can you explain this better, there appears to be a strange work flow going on, have you imported PowerPoint into Keynote or you are trying to export to PowerPoint?
There are many users who have trouble with a recorded voice over going to Quicktime.
Try this repair, its sorted out many similar problems in the past.
Complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1 delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote by using Appcleaner from Mac Update to           do this, its freeware
2 restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
3 immediately after the start chime, press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
         let it fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
4 when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and           click repair disc permissions
5 when complete, restart the Mac normally
6 install Keynote from the Mac App Store
Please report back to let us know if this helped.

Is there a way to increase the number of layers in PS touch for iPad? Can Adobe do something about this?

Is there a way to increase the number of layers in PS touch for iPad? Can Adobe do something about this? I have been using PS touch for iPad for a few years and ALWAYS end up with a message that I have reached the maximum allowable number of layers. not to mention of course a simple tool for drawing straight lines which is a must. I may be missing something. I would have imagined that a respectable company like Adobe would have added over the years a small upgrade to solve these issues.
thanks.

Hi Patrick,
I'm working on a 30" monitor, so it's effectively 2560x1600. It only seems to be showing 2 tracks at a time, unless there is a preference or setting I'm missing that I can't seem to find in the documentation. Here is a screenshot:
I don't see any areas for expanding the timeline. I can scroll vertically in the timeline, but I can't seem to actually get a larger static vertical area for showing more tracks at once. The only vertical resizing widget is to expand the bottom or top panels, not the timeline.
Thanks,
Jason

When will Verizon Cell Tower installed in 2013 on Ridge Road in Town of Broome, Schoharie CountyNY be turned on? Where in the Verizon Co. can I find out about this

A cell tower was installed in 2013 on Ridge Road in Town of Broome, Schoharie CountyNY. It appears to be ready to operate. When will it be turned on? Where in the Verizon Co. can I find out about this. I now depend on an unreliable and expensive dish-satellite system for internet access and would like to be able to take advantage of my Verizon WiFi cell to connect. Who and how do I contact Verizon to find out? Many thanks.

Are you sure it isn't turned on? Are you sure it is even a Verizon tower? If it is a Verizon tower, it may not be turned on yet because it has not received approval from your local government. If it is awaiting approval, Verizon has no control about when approval will be granted.

Can anything be done about this?
