The joke is on us....

there i am, figuring out how to port my osx itunes into xp, and looking for a utility that would let osx read an ntsf partition and BAM, norton virus auto-protect pops up and shows me i have a piece of adware. 10 seconds later there were over 10. i restarted, turned off my internet connection and tried to clean the system out before it go too bad... the junk turned off my virus software and killed xp. i restarted and got a black screen, nothing more. i turned the macbook off by holding the power button down, then restarted in xp. it forced me into safe mode and took 30 minutes to do a complete scan. in a matter of 3 minutes my macbook running xp pro picked up over 40 pieces of spyware, adware and compressed applications. Maybe we should take another moment and think about how important it really is to run xp... all is fine now, and i'm writing this from a clean system... but it's kind of fitting isn't it? anyway, that's my story... i'll honorably take the crown (or dunce hat) as the first boot camper to go to the xp-infirmary.

I own 3 Macs, including a new Macbook Pro and 5 PCs which all operate on my home LAN. I consider myself operating system agnostic.
I have literally done over 100 installs of Windows XP since its release for myself, my friends and relatives. Before I start I have copies of two programs that I install right after the operating system: (1) a good anti-virus program (I like NOD32 and McAfee) and (2) a good spyware program (I like Spysweeper). The anti-spyware program has only been necessary for the last couple of years. Using this simple installation routine, I have never had one virus or adware/spyware infect any Windows machine. So while there is little doubt that Windows marketshare had made it the target of every predator out there, it is easy these days to protect Windows machines.
I love OS X and think that it is an elegant operating system and for my audio, video and graphics needs it is great. However, there are just some programs that either are not written for OS X or are poorly implemented. In the "not written" category are some of the best games out there; In my case, in the "poorly implemented" category is Quicken, with the Mac version a poor cousin to the Windows version in terms of features and functionality.
The bottom line is I need to use Windows and until yesterday had to rely on 2 machines to handle the task.

:D The Joker Challenge

UPDATED: Date extended to 10th October!
The last few weeks have been interesting. Twice, during discussions with customers (minor problem handling in OSS) we were told that they are going live with their own developed BSP application, rollout always to more than 10000 users! We only hear about this when an OSS problem ticket is opened. Seldom do we know about the projects being done with BSP. Real life "war" stories are always the best!
This afternoon, while watching the Three Musketeers with my daughter, Mark was penning the <a href="/people/mark.finnern/blog/2004/09/17/the-three-sdn-musketeers version</a> of this epic story. One thing led to another. Doing some back of the envelope calculations with the input <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/index.sdn?page=crp_prize2.htm">cool geeky prizes</a> and my position as <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/index.sdn?content=http://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fSDN!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.sdn.folders.pointsrewardsystem!2fcom.sap.sdn.crp.iviews.topcontributors&contenttype=url">Top Contributors</a>, gave the output anything from an iPod up to a HP iPAQ!
Let us use this joker card!
In the next week I will work very hard to answer questions in the BSP forum (and beg for points earned!). In addition, I will try to complete one more weblog (even although Thomas snagged my next topic!). With this, I am gunning to have one prize at the end of the week.
With this prize, I would like to sponsor the joker challenge. I am interested to know what people are doing with BSP. I am asking for people to write weblogs about the work they have done with BSP. I will transfer my prize to the best weblog! See rules below.
This means, that you can start today with zero points, write one weblog, and be catapulted right to the top prize (assuming I can hold the position one more week)! An HP iPAQ is winking.
The game is on!
regards, brian
RULES (To ensure a fair challenge!)
o) I am offering a prize which I do not yet have. I can not guarantee that I will get any prize, or which one. All I can say is that I will in this week work very hard to stay at the top. This will require that everyone in the forum take the time to review answered questions and assign the marks. However, the final risk is (unfortunately) with you.
o) The deadline for submissions is the 10th of October [updated!](we accept all weblogs with this date stamp). Yes, this is after the SDN competition close. If you wish to also earn marks with the SDN challenge, then the deadline is still upcoming Friday. Important is just that I earn points until this Friday to get the prize. Then you know what prize is up for grabs and have more time to write!
o) Speaking of writing, here is expectations (and the mininal requirements):
-- Must be written in English.
-- You must have permission from the company owning the BSP application to write the weblog
-- The title must be of the form "BSP In Action: ...". The "..." can be any sub-title of your choosing.
-- In the introduction section, the company must be explicitly named, including geographical data and a company logo. This is important so that we see that these are real world stories! (If this is not acceptable for your company, email me, and we can negotiate to remove this contraint!)
-- It must be a weblog of a minimum two A4 pages (when printed)
-- Very important: it must contain a minimum of three screenshots. Grey out any confidential information.
-- The text should give an high level overview of the problem (vaguely if confidential), should discussion some sizing numbers (number of users, number of BSPs, developers, application servers, etc). The most important section will be decisions taken section. Typical examples: "we used MVC, because..."; "we decided to go stateless as..."; "we did not use HTMLB, but our own HTML to achieve...."; "interesting aspects are the use of IGS, ...". If you were not a developer of the BSP application, we will accept as alternative a section describing in some detail the functionality of the application. Typical examples: "allows us to enter weekly data...", "give good statistic information..."; "have this nice feature ... that ....", etc.
-- Code samples are not required
-- We do not require a life demo or link.
o) Judging: Only weblogs with the title "BSP in Action: ..." dated between today and maximum 3rd October will be accepted. If you have difficulty to quickly get your weblog online, email me ([email protected]) a Word document in time to place it online for you. The actual winning decision will be made by three colleagues that are real BSP experts. I will not decide! In addition, any remarks on this thread (and this thread only) about any of these weblogs will also be included into making a final decision. So getting as many other people as possible to give favourable comments on your weblog in this thread is definitely going to help you! Please understand that I do not have the infrastructure to handle an online voting, etc. I trust in the opinion of my three colleagues and the noise here! The decision is final and not negotiable!
o) What/how will be judged: the size/importance of the project will play no role. The quality of the writing will not be judged. The most important criteria will be the detail of the information presented. The more you tell, with the more detail, the higher your chances are. Screenshots will also be weight heavily! Both positive and negative aspects will be weighted equally. We are interested in the true "war" stories, and can handle the heat in the kitchen. A happy end would be nice
o) Who can participate? Effectively anyone. What is NOT allowed, is to write about BSP applications developed at SAP. Also NOT acceptable are weblogs
about modifications to such SAP developed BSP apps. Accepted will be weblogs about any BSP applications developed done by or for customers. As author of the weblog, it is not required that you actually participated in the BSP developed. You can be an user of the application, a tester, someone that helped in the design, anyone! We are interested in the scope of the developments. What is also perfectly acceptable, is that (SAP) consultants write about BSP applications developed at/for customers (only with their express permission!). It is also quite acceptable that more than one person write about the same BSP development (just don't spoil the working atmosphere with your colleagues:). It would be nice if those people already on track to win a price not participate, but this is only asked and not explicitly prohibted.
o) What to do if I just stumbled into this forum and we have never before developed any BSP applications? For this, we will also accept all weblogs that write about development using other SAP technologies. For example applications developed in SAP Enterprise Portal, or using Web Dynpro for Java, or even acceptable is an application developed in SAPGUI. However, this must be an application developed at and for a customer, and not any SAP development! The above rules for judging still apply! Most important is that you still use the title format "BSP In Action: ...". We leave the "...." open for your imagination and will see how you bend it to fit:)
o) Finally, please accept that I have exactly this one prize (which I must still earn!) for the challenge. Unfortunately only one person can win. However, in the end everyone will win, as there is nothing more interesting than reading how other people tackled problems and made a success!
So start writing today: given that at least three screenshots are required, it should not be difficult to fill at least two pages!

Last night the Joker Challenge quietly came to an end. This morning I peeked into SDN and into my mailbox.
At a first glance, it does not seem that all that many weblogs made it into SDN. But looks can be slightly deceiving in this case. Officially three articles were published, over which I am very happy. In addition, I have received two additional descriptions by email, which can unfortunately not be shared. One text was rejected by the "owning" company (all top secret, I was not even told the name!). For one project, the consultant gave me a live demo, and then I could quickly help with some debugging. One or two were promised, but I suspect exchanged for a good holiday stateside (would have been my decision as well!). So, even if it has not been possible to share everything, I have definitely learned a lot about what is been done with BSP out there. Which makes me achieve my goals.
Three "BSP in Action" weblogs have been published. Each one has been excellent to read, and has shown the time and effort that was invested into both the BSP development, and the writing of these weblogs.
Thomas Jung opened the dance with <a href="/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/09/20/bsp-in-action-kimball-international">BSP in Action: Kimball International</a>. This was a very impressive piece of writing and especially that "will code ABAP for food" photo made me wonder whether it is time to learn Java. Gracefully, Thomas has declined to participate, as he had <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/sdn%20at%20sap%20teched%2004%20san%20diego%20_%20a%20new%20experience.article">already hauled away a 21" LCD flat-screen monitor</a>. The final <a href="/people/mark.finnern/blog/2004/10/06/well-deserved was given by Mark!
Days later, Stefan Riedel-Seifert followed this up with <a href="/people/stefan.riedel-seifert/blog/2004/09/23/bsp-in-action-mmmendresshauser">BSP in Action: MMM@Endress+Hauser</a>. And although we have known about this project for a long time, this was the first time that we have actually "seen" it. We spend hours ogling at the screenshots. A few emails later, and we were richer a number of bits and pieces of coding. We actually learned a thing or two! Hopefully soon, Stefan will write a new weblog, to show us a few more of his tips and tricks (handling of Excel!).
About the last entry, <a href="/people/ulli.hoffmann2/blog/2004/10/11/bsp-in-action-strategic-freight-procurement-with-basf-epilog">BSP in Action: Strategic Freight Procurement with BASF EPILOG</a>, which reached my mailbox last night, I was also very happy. We have known Ulli already a very long, probably since his and our first BSP days. As external consultant he has even worked a while for the BSP-team and certainly knows his stuff! (About that new 640 logon application he did, we must still write a weblog. It has many new features and should soon replace the old SYSTEM application as standard. Unfortunately only in 640.) The EPILOG project has everything in it that a good B2B application should have. Write once, save money every day.
I would not like to write to much about each weblog, more than to say I have thoroughly enjoyed reading them. And I also hope that the rest of the forum did share the pleasure (even although comments have been rare?). Each of these three weblogs have shown beyond doubt that BSP is an enabling technology with which to develop industrial strength applications.
This morning I have requested the three judges to make the final call. At least, with Thomas already happy with his 21" screen, it reduced to only two excellent weblogs in the running. I am glad that I did not have to make the final call. And as was expected, it took hours of deliberation (hopefully they did not had to flip a coin:).
And the winner is: .....Stefan Riedel-Seifert!
A thorough interrogation of the judges showed that it was a close call. In the end, they were swayed by the "work of love" (their words). The E+H development was done using only hand-written HTML (started in 610 days before the HTMLB library), and really shows the BSP power to achieve pixel-perfect rendering!
To everyone that has participated, both in the weblogs published and the private ones received, I wish to say thank you! I have enjoyed these "war" stories to the maximum.
regards, brian

I am sick of the joke Album Artwork for the Jimi Hendrix album Are You Experienced. Gomer Hendrix is not funny anymore. How do I make it go away?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

no massive users here,
we only have about 40 calls logged on the bill maybe 4 or 5 mobiles but not long calls ,we all have mobiles my son does also my wife and of course me we have over 400 mins on 2 of our phones in fact its cheaper to use them than BT crazy as that may seem ,so we try not too,after the last episode we are not going too use the house phone unless we have too ,and thats even more stupid , what a statement to make about the uk supposed top provider of all comms
its a joke that we have asked for help and nothing is forthcoming ,in 2013 this shoud nt happen and i don t believe for a minute that anyone really cares as long as they have a job and ..d everyone else ,

I have been seeing that since yesterday. Right now, all the text looks like it does if I am not logged in.
On one occasion I opened the Lightroom forum and the highlighted topics (some with "updated" below the subject) looked as expected. However, as soon as the page finished updating the usual highlighting of the subject disappeared.
Actually, the forum appearance is the same as I would see if I were not logged in. The page header indicated that I am logged in but I can't find a way to log out.
Ah nuts! I now see that I have to go to the forum index page in order to log out. Would someone please tell me why I should have to do that?

TS2972 apple tv can't sign in to iTunes Store until the network time has been set. this is an Apple generated message. what does it mean? how can i fix it? very very very simple questions but there is no reasonable answer from Apple anywhere on the intern

this is an apple generated message. simple!
what does it mean? so far no one at apple has a clue.
how do i fix it? nothing even begins to address this issue so far. generalities about system setup show a lack of respect for customers. yes my system is plugged in and i have reset and rebooted and rechecked everything. i need help because this a real problem that needs a real solution, not more platitudes.
help please, not more wasting of my time. i have spent an entire afternoon on this already.

this is exactly the kind of response i expected, almost begged support to please not do this to me and yet there it is another meaningless, non helpful, standard template response to restart my apple tv.
this does NOT work which is why i am contacting you. i have tried all suggestions about unplugging and restarting and nothing works.
i live in an apartment and logon to the provided wifi wireless. so i do not have access to a router. however, management says they have talked with their provider and have been assured that the required ports are available.
remember all the jokes about how bad windows was because the solution was always to re boot. funny huh? how is apple any different.
i have been to the local apple care store and they are clueless, too.
should we just end it here and you admit that i will not be getting any support from apple on this one? i got the ipad because my kids were such big fans. it is difficult for me to share their enthusiasm.
at this point i am just curious about how you say you cannot support your own product so i can complete my file on this contact.
thanks...sorry it was you who got this problem..

The meaning of CSS life...

The one good thing: I finished my first fee-for-service CSS website done in Dreamweaver CS5. It is only four pages and is ugly beyong words and displays wildly in various browsers. The customers are naive enough to have settled for it but their check hasn't arrived yet. We shall see.
Now the test...I am a school webmaster and my behemoth, changes every week, 50 page sites are coming due. Oh dear! Just a word to you Adobe folks: You are really nice but you do know, don't you, that educators all over the country have begun cursing you every day since the advent of CS5 that offered us few legacy options? NO ONE in my county school webmaster group can work CSS or CS5. Deciding that this is an undertaking for the young, we convened our brightest tech students, the ones who understand everything. They couldn't work the new CS5/CSS editor either. I've been told that every school in the county has dropped web design from tech classes because of this. Just thought Adobe would like to know. Microsoft Word is the industry standard in its category, just like Dreamweaver. I have a master user's certificate in Word and can make it do great things. But my 75 year-old father can use it straight of the box, too.
Us all being partners in crime and whatnot, I asked repeatedly on this forum for a usable alternative to CS5, which is no longer a viable tool for the "casual user," as one recent poster pointed out. That's okay. I'm happy not to be a pro. But only AFTER my people saw no option other than dropping $800 on the education version of Creative Suite am I told about Adobe Contribute. Can that really simplify web design? Maybe I need to return this spanking new copy of CS5. More information would be helpful. Until I read Nancy's posts earlier, I had never heard of Contribute.
That said, damned straight on learning the only game in town, I still continue to struggle with CS5/CSS and will post my questions....
Question 1 - I uploaded the first five pages of my large site. Four of them did not work.
Please view: http://www.alex.k12.ok.us/pto/ptoindex.html. The content div on this page has suddenly gone black. I have studiously reviewed the code and have no idea what's wrong. I rebuilt the page from template three times with the same result. Funny, Adobe Browser labs shows the site without the black.
Question 2 - Take a look at this page: http://www.alex.k12.ok.us/board/boardindex.html. I have begun finding ways to convince myself that I am working with tabular data in order to justify using a table. CS5 still allows that, you know. The buttons are just harder to get to. At any rate, the sixth paragraph in the table displays centered in a much larger, bolded font. It does not display this way in Firefox. Again, I reviewed the code with a microscope. I can see no difference between this paragraph and others. But there are secrets in this CSS life that I do not understand.
Question 3 - A much more generic question only posed because I am using CS5 to create my pages. I routinely validate my pages using the W3C html and CSS validators. My CSS has validated 100% of the time. The HTML validator, however, returns errors, warnings and weather forecasts (a joke) that I cannot reference in my CS5 code. The line numbers are incorrect and, when I finally find the alleged error, it's NOT THERE. The most common error I get notes that I have failed to close a paragraph thingy. You know..... But when I inspect the code, I find all the necessary structure present. Deciding I wasn't consuming sufficient mind-altering substances, I tried doing more with the same result. What does this mean?
Question 4 - I have enough experience with CSS now to know that inserting text in my template causes huge problems secondary only to inserting images. But i have to have both, and often. Is is best to just drop an image into, say, the content div, or should I put the pic in a div of its own? Most of my pictures have captions, so I am thinking the only way I can make a caption under a photo is to create a div to hold the picture and the caption. Is there some big secret about this as well?
Thanks for your time.

Wow..
And posted 1 hour ago, 9 viewers and no one concurring except me. Well, I have to congratulate you (I think), you're farther along the CSS road than me, and I started in 1995 with MS Frontpage, back around the time Macromedia owned DW. Does anyone remember going to their site/forums?
I know Cascading is the way to go, I just have no clue, and it seems a near code fiasco, but then I don't know anything about coding so it's all alien. If anyone can believe, I'm still laying a page or two out with tables. I just purely don't have the time to learn CSS. But maybe it's not all that difficult? Well, I haven't started it yet to know I suppose, just seems that it is. Now you say a legacy CSS is somehow not supported, seems that would imply all of those methods/tricks would then no longer be applicable? Wow, just makes me think of MS operating systems. I first started with DOS 3.1, then loaded up what was it, 14 or so 1.44 floppy disks when Win95 came around, then there was NT, I actually have the joke Vista64 running on a machine too.
I understand things move on in software, but if my interpretation is that previous CSS is no longer applicable, for us/those where learning any of it is a challenge, can see the futility in it.. For those of you 13, eating Oreos with milk and already making or about to bring in 10K (or 100K+) a year, good for you. I don't see the majority of people being so determined. And as people get older, they have other responsibilities to attend to. Perhaps software is the next frontier as far as personal computing and the Internet are concerned. AI (artificial intelligence) could greatly assist with this, so as hardware (memory) increases in performance, achieving near parity with the CPU getting cored out, and in the not so distant future when we all have little supercomputers as a result, with Berkeley helping to solve the multicore programming/application issue (that MS awarded 20M to solve, for the future of the OS), then we can most likely look forward to having greater assistance with these types of processes.
Coding.. For us that don't devote so much time to it, it is rather limiting (to our agenda). And the thing is, we really would use these programs more if it was easier, I think I speak for many of us. But if the learning curve goes from slope to vertical, or a series of plateaus, it seems nearly insurmountable at times. And then the browser compatibility issue on top of it all.
Wow. I can say I'm back for one last shot at it now, but if I don't get it this time, I'm outsourcing it. It's been nice, but I simply don't have hours to weeks to invest on a few web pages. And to master it all, I simply don't see it happening, I'm realistic about it. And may I add, I'm not one that is confused by the TV remote or a digital watch, I'm actually very technically oriented, extremely - just haven't been that interested in conquering code (obviously no CS degree, but apparently even those students are cutting corners).
I hear you, and at least I, concur.
Lastly, I'd like to add. Recently while at a bookstore, I picked up one of the computer "Web" editing magazines (I'll read nearly anything, except this - knowing..), mostly because I'm back for another swing at the plate, but also because promimently on the cover was something to the effect "so many tricks explained" etc.. I looked at nearly every article, and don't think I could have done one, they even provided a CD, really? It just seems like a puzzle, and the people that write the articles all looked undernourished, just an observation. Is that really what it takes, so much time and devotion? I wonder if one of them actually comes here and would care to comment on the required time investment (we seem to have time-to-complete figures for SATs etc., why not for articles on this subject matter too? I'd like to know what I'm getting into and how long until I'm up to speed, instead of staring into a void, which is what it nearly seems like. I guess I need to have a conversation with an East Indian Java Guru. Has anyone ever heard an EI programmer even say the word "Java", you just know they get it - I'm in Silicon Valley, happens all the time. Also pass by Adobe HQ all the time and before they even had the buildings (cool power wind vanes too btw, interesting little crosswalk between the buildings, always look for someone in there, like a hamster tunnel thing, funny never see anyone, there was relevance to me stating this) {think I need another parenthesis here, see - wouldn't be good at code}, moving/running on.) Oh, and if anyone needs programming answers, at least here anyway, visit a local Mediterranean restaurant with good falafels, easily find a programmer to answer your questions, no joke). I thought, well, it's good they have their email addresses, maybe I'll contact them and contribute to their 100K a year, but then I thought (seriously), could I even copy and paste the code correctly? Wow.. Is there not a better way, I wonder if Ray Kurtzweil could project out when web editing programs (and the Creators) will benefit from the Singularity theory.
(spell checker would be nice here)
Thx

The Tale of the Beeping Macbook - AKA- My Macbook Pro keeps beeping when trying to boot into Snow Leopard Disc's disk utility

Quick back story: about a month ago my macbook was falling and I caught it quickly, I had a game controller in my hand and it lightly hit it whilst I was catching it; the laptop made no contact with the floor, couch etc. Upon reveling in my epic matrix esque catch I noticed it was beeping and the screen was completely black - Horrified I held down the power button for a forced power down and then turned it back on to see that it was fine, along with no visible scars, dents etc to the chassis. Now flash forward to present day, and the macbook pro is only two months old (bought may 4th 2011) and I notice it's got some slightly irregular slow loading points when loading a browser, photoshop, etc. I do the standard disk utility to verify the disc and it says
"Checking volume bitmap.
Checking volume information.
Invalid volume file count
(It should be 537095 instead of 537096)
Invalid volume directory count
(It should be 161641 instead of 161640)
The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk."
So I put in the snow leopard disc to go to the disk utility within, reboot the laptop, and it goes to the gray boot screen with the dark gray apple logo and stays there whilst doing the aforementioned beep from my spider-sense catch. Does anyone happen to know what is wrong? Would that tiny tap from my controller when catching it have caused this problem I have now? Is there anything I can do at home to fix this since I can't get to the disk utility on the snow leopard disk? Will Batman ever get out of the Joker's trap? Or am I better off just making a genius bar appointment? Thanks in advance.
-ZRS

Are you using the Snow Leopard disc that came with that Mac? A gray disc that came with a different Mac won't boot yours, and a Retail (white) disc with a version of OSX earlier than the one your Mac came with won't boot it, either.
If you don't have the right disc, do you have an external HD, or can you borrow one?
(By the way, your post shows you're running Tiger; you might want to update that.)

In Pages I used to be able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file".

In Pages, In the past, I was able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file". And I can no longer open the actual template, when template is clicked, it automaticaly opens an "untitled" version???

In your description you say the first document opens as the Title you gave it.
Templates always open as Untitled so it sounds like you have saved a regular document, perhaps into your templates folder which is possible.
Since you have already worked on it and it has been previously saved, Lion will now Save for you and Save a Version is available
The other document does open as Untitled so sounds like a real template and as Peggy has pointed out will not have either Revert nor Save a Version until you Save it and have changed something in it.
This is a classic example of just how Apple's supposedly "simplification" of the process, is leading to confusion of what has happened. That the conditions and resulting actions from those conditions is so convoluted says it all.
It all reminds me of the Monty Python Life of Brian sketch with the "simplified" John Cleese instructions to the class, as to if you have a brother in an older dorm whether to hang your hat and bag on the hooks provided. The trouble is Apple does not get the joke, that it is transforming itself into a frequently self contradictory bumbling bureacracy. The price of unchallenged self appointed geniushood.
The incoherent half baked stumbling juggernaut has reached new triumphs with its edict on enforced Sandboxing on developers when it is unable to follow even its own instructions.

HT4113 My Iphone is locked and the passcode I'm using is being reported by the Iphone as incorrect, how can I change the password?

my nephew was playing a practical joke on me and changed my passcode for my Iphone. Unfortunately, the joke backfired cause he misspelled the passcode when typing it in and now we can't open my iphone. Is there anyway to fix this? I have an icloud account if that is an option.

You may be able to restore your iPhone by connecting it to iTunes. If iTunes prompts you for the passcode, then you'll have to wipe your iPhone and restore it to factory settings. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212.

Problems moving an object with the selection tool

Im working on CS2 and since last week I have a problem moving objects with the selection tool: To move the object I am obligate to select the object first, and then click at the edge/stroke of the object to drag it. Before that I could move the objects just by selecting somewhere in the object and then just drag it to some other place in one step. I think I maybe changed something in the general preferences....

Ho thanks a lot Kurt!!!!! Indeed, that was the problem!!! Finally I can work normally again.... (the joker was me...but not on purpose)
Thanks again!

DTS, DD on the Fly decoding Audigy2Zs Plati

Hi All,
I currently have an A2Zs Platinum and I was wondering about the Creative Audio Console decoding of DVD movies. I leave the settings in the "AUTO" mode for DpL, DD, and DTS, but how do you know if its performing correctly. I was watching a Dvd, Batman Beyond Return of the Joker its in DD, but when I looked in Audio Console Dolby Digital "and" DTS was selected "On".
Does anyone else have a problem with Audio Console NOT switching properly.
regards,
Al

Thanks for the reply.
D, if you look in creative audio console, and then click on decoder there you will find. DpL, DD and another tab for DTS. Either of these decoders can be set to "auto", on or off. In the "auto" mode when you put in a dvd, then these will switch to the proper sound decoder leaving the others in auto or off. I'm not addressing creative audio HQ, only Creative Audio Console.
Have anyone had the problem of the audio console not switching to the proper decoder or worst having two decoders on @ once.
regards,
Al

When downloading ios 5 to my itunes an error message saying "the network connection has timed out" keeps popping up. how do i fix this?

Temporarily dip ****.
And excluding the extremely high network traffic due to the many millions of users downloading the update a day or two after is was released, this is a problem with that swiss cheese for security garbage OS that is Windows only, which is the joke. An update that is now running on 1 in 3 compatible iDevices which is in the 10's of milllions is vaporware Einstein?
If I were your rep, I would tell you to **** off. Go get Windoze mobile devices.

Scrolling the APP LIST in iTunes FREEZES UP iTUNES

Repro this: Connect an iPhone or iPad. Go to your list of about 500 apps in iTunes and try to quickly scroll to about the middle. Let go of the mouse button, and then quickly try and scroll back up a little, then down again. Do a few more clicks and drags. The joke is, if your computer is like any of my three PC's I've used for years, YOU CAN'T DO IT. It hangs and freezes up, and ends up taking minutes for iTunes to respond again.
This has been happening since as far back as I can remember. If Apple doesn't know about this, can this feedback help? Because I keep waiting for that to be fixed any day.

I'm adding to this situation as well. I'm running iTunes 10.4 on PC with Windows 7. When reviewing an app in iTunes I can scroll up/down/left/right for a brief time. When I stop movement with the mouse for more than about 10 seconds, the app page freezes. The only response after waiting 5+ minutes is to use the 'left arrow" (previous page) to return to screen before viewing the app. This affects apps only; music, movies, TV shows, podcasts work just fine.
Its mildly irritating to have to plan ahead for which portion of the app page I want to view and quickly get there before it freezes.

The joke is on us....
