Mac users left in the cold... once again

Why is it that PC iTunes users can playback a lot more formats then mac users?
Why can a PC user playback or import a wma file and we can't? I mean I understand that it's a microsoft codec but that's what things like flip4mac are for, aren't they?
I also think it's a shame that emerging popular formats like flac, ogg vorbis, ape, etc... are not supported, not even for importing. A big MINUS for Apple if you ask me. I even have some AAC files that iTunes doesn't recognize, even though quicktime does ?!?!?!?! (I thought at least they were using the same codecs...)

Well I'm sorry but I've tried all the links and I thought this would be the best place to express myself.

Unfortunately, there are no Genius Bars (yet) in NL.
These Discussion forums are also a great place for asking questions.

  • Remove open workitem from user inbox after the workflow starts again.

    I have heard that there is a possibility to remove a open workitem from the user inbox, after the workflow starts again for the same object (data update), via a termiantion event. I have searched in the sap workflow dokumentation but i could not find out how to use this. Could somebody provide me some detailed documentation or examples how to use this for my problem?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi Sudhir,
    the workitem which should terminate is a decision task with two results. The wolkflow looks as follows:
    Activity: Read Data
    Decision: Approval Check Decision
    Activities: Approve or Reject
    How should it look like in your opinion with the termination? How looks this option to terminate this workitem? The workitem should terminate automatically from the userinbox if the workflow starts again for the same object (with updated data).
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Where is the bookmarks stored?
    I Install the Firefox once again since I upgrade my computer.
    And I try to move the bookmarks from the old computer to the new one.
    But I can't find anyone of them.
    Is there any folder just like "favourite" to store the html file?
    I really want to find out the bookmarks because actually i can't remember all the website that are important to me~ URGENT!!!~THANKS~

    You can move file named places.sqlite from your old profile to the new one. It contains bookmarks and browsing history.
    Here's a knowledge base article about it: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]
    If you don't care about saving your current bookmarks, you can skip creating new profile (Firefox does it by itself at first run anyway).
    I'd might suggest you to install addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2410/|Xmarks Bookmark and Password Sync]. It is a free web service which synchronizes bookmarks and (optionally) passwords with central server, and then to other computers, if you installed it on more. You may treat is as a backup too.

    I'm sorry, I do not fully understand your question. However if you are looking for the email address which you have used for your iTunes account, you can find this out by using the "get info" command on any items you have previously purchased from iTunes and navigating to the summary tab.

  • Fireworks Users Left in the Clouds Again

    I'm not a fireworks user and have dabbled very little with it in the past, but how come adobe is not updating this product?  Can someone give their feedback and insight on why this product is being left in the cloud and no updates and new technology is being added to it?

    Fireworks CS6 is the last version. From Wikipedia:
    On May 6, 2013, Adobe announced that Fireworks would be phased out, much to the dismay of its users. Adobe will continue to provide security updates and perhaps bug fixes for the current version, but does not plan to add any new features beyond what is in Fireworks CS6.
    Muse is a completely different application: basically a wysiwyg web design app for designers who do not want to or are unable to code html pages. Muse can also be a very nice prototyping app, though.
    But currently there is not any true replacement yet on the market - I suppose Adobe is trying to turn Photoshop in a more web-friendly tool (which I think is only semi-successful). If you work on a mac Sketch might be a partial alternative.

  • HT5457 New app upgrades put 1st gen Ipad users out in the cold - Recently DirecTV and The Blaze both upgraded their ipad apps so that only ios 6 and above were compatible - anyone who has a 1st gen ipad cannot upgrade to ios 6  - what is up with this Appl

    So 1st gen ipad users are basiclly left out in the cold unless they go out an buy a new IPad - of course DTV and The Blaze are blaming Apple and Apple is blaming them - what is the deal Apple -  I pay for my subscription to The Blaze in order to have it on my IPad and now I can't even use it - same with DTV - so is Apple now forcing people to buy upgraded devices thru their apps that will no longer support the older generations - what a joke this is and bad business.

    Unfortunately software always moves faster than hardware.
    Apple's not going to change things. You can try talking to those two app developers and have them make their older versions available.
    Beyond that, if you wish to express yourself directly to Apple, http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    This is just a user to user forum, so there's nothing anyone here can do for you I'm afraid.

  • First time mac user so excuse the stupid question

    I have dl an application and it says to drop it into applications folder and open from there, which I have but it still won't open...help!

    It can be a little confusing... especially as a new Mac user.  As a Windows user, you used to running an installer that puts all the files everywhere for you.  The Mac OS works a little differently.  The icon that you drag to your Applications folder is actually a package (sort of like a folder only it is displayed as a single item) and all of the files needed for that application are contained in that package.  This is a much more efficient way of handling applications vs. the way Windows does.  When you install something on Windows, bits and pieces get installed all over.  That's the reason you need to have Add/Remove Programs on a Windows machine... it needs to keep track of where all the files were installed so it can get rid of them.  Even then, there are almost always some files folders left over.  For most application on a Mac, the same file you moved to Applications can just be dragged to the trash to "uninstall" it.  There are some Mac applications that do come with installers.  Usually rerunning the installer package will give you the option to uninstall as well.

  • ITunes access for Mac users outside of the USA

    We are Mac users both for business and personal. We buy all Apple products and hardware and purchase photo books etc. We purchase all our equipment online and ship. Yet, I have no access to the iTunes free downloads nor am I able to purchase any songs because we do not have a US Billing Address for our Credit Cards! We have international cards and use it for everything else world-wide. Yet no itune!! I buy all Apple products using my card - yet no itunes! Not having access to even download the free songs is not fair, as I am being hindered from creating iMovies because I cannot upload a song. This is an application that comes with my Mac yet I am not able to use it. Come on, you have to help me out here! I need to make some iMovies and post! What can I do? Please help? Debra

    Sorry, but there's nothing anyone here can do to help as far as the iTunes Store is concerned. Apple has not, for legal and/or business reasons, been able to open iTunes Stores in every country. If there's no iTunes Store in your country, you'll need to look to other sources of music.
    I am being hindered from creating iMovies because I cannot upload a song.
    You're not being hindered; iMovie doesn't need the iTunes Store to be completely functional. There are lots of sources for music, such as an imported CDs (you need legal permission to use any copyrighted music, of course, if you intend these movies for other than personal use). You don't need to be a able to purchase from the iTunes Store to have music for your movies.
    Regards.

    You can use "infospoke" to save file in the Application server(AL11).
    Also give the T.code AL11 and click on the tab "Configure" to create file on the Application server.

  • New Mac User, Please Pardon the Stupid Questions...

    Hi. As the title says, please pardon the stupid questions. I'm a Mac noobie. I got my iMac G5 from my aunt who has always been a mac user. The logic board went out on this one and I had it repaired so now I'm entering the world of mac.
    I'd like to know how to upgrade the software on my machine. I'm currently running 10.3.9 which is Panther but I'd like to upgrade. My question is, what software is the newest I can upgrade to and where can I get the software? Is it available for download or do I need to go to a store to purchase it? Also, I currently have itunes 4. I downloaded itunes 10 but it wouldn't install. I get the error message "the installer package "install itunes" cannot be opened the bill of materials for this package can not be found"... Is this due to my OS version? Please help... Thanks

    You have to buy it, you can't download it. See if the Apple Store sell it,but I think you will have to get it from eBay or Craig's List. Just make absolutelt sure it's the black retail disc, not grey! Also, you cannot run Snow Leopard on your iMac, it only works on intel machines.
    Amazon have some for sale.

  • Can I do the login once again on the support of repair statuts?

    last week I gave my Iphone to apple care because one of the buttons wasn't working right, so they told that i'll receive a new phone within 20 days and that I could follow the process in this site https://selfsolve.apple.com/repairstatus/main.do but I just can login one time and no more after. How can I follow this process and how I will know when my new phone arrive?

    Most of this is possible.  It is a lot to bite off for a beginning Captivate user. 
    1. The Rating Scale (Likert) quiz question is designed for this.  It only allows up to 5 answer options.  You can set up a multiple choice question to have 10 answer options.  A fill in the blank question allows users to type in a number.  However, I don't think it'll be easy to chart your results through fill in the blank.
    2. Captivate's built in Quiz questions do not allow more than one question on a slide. 
    3. You can view the user responses if the project is hosted on an LMS or Adobe Connect.  Some of the playbars include a Print button.
    4. You can package videos in the captivate project or use the Web Object Interaction to open external links within the project. 
    5. Assign the video slide On Exit: Jump to slide
    You may find Google Forms helpful to gather your information.  They're easy to create through Google Drive.  You can guide users to the Form using the Web Object Interaction. 
    Good luck!
