Why can't I post a new discussion?

Wow,
I just "upgraded" to Macericks, and have nothing but problems.
i posted two discussion on the forums, and now I seem to be blocked from posting more.   I guess the administrator got all offended because I sadi that the Mac OS is now worse than Windows.  Geez, I guess we have to pretend that everything is great in order to stay on these forums?  Apple doesn;t want to know when its users are upset?  Great  attitude, guys.
So now what?  I have a Mac that is practically non-funtional, and I don't eve have an OS disk with which to revert back to the old system.
My business just came to a standstill and there's nothing I can do?
Does anyone have ANY idea how I can get out of this mess? 
thanks.

This leaves the later Mac Pro 65lb towers in a somewhat precarious position.
These models do not appear to support Internet Recovery. But there is no "ships in the box" DVD to fall back on. They also cannot boot directly to the last "Full Retail" Installer DVD (which only has 10.6.3 on it).
It sounds like it is extra important to have at least one of:
• an additional maintenance System Drive,
• another device with a Recovery_HD on it [Time Machine backup drives from 10.7.4 or later have a Recovery_HD],
• a home-made Installer DL DVD or
• a home-made Installer 8GB thumb drive or
• a Recovery Disk Assistant thumb drive (which makes a copy of your existing Recovery_HD onto a smaller thumb drive).

  • Why can't I post a new topic in the Leopard discussions.

    The option is available in other Apple discussions, but for some reason it's not an option for me in the Leopard area.
    I just want to ask a simple question about why Firefox is now launching every time I restart my computer, but don't want to do so in a discussion about Final Cut or iLife or any of the other forums where posting a new topic is an option because that would be bad etiquette. At the same time, I'm not given much of an option.

    Hi dddnlb!
    "Why can't I post a new topic in the Leopard discussions."
    The info posted below is also available in the Announcement How to Post a New Topic
    If you have a Technical question about Apple Hardware, Programs, Services, Technology, Software, Applications, Products, etc, from this page Discussions - Forum Home, select an appropriate Category from one of the sixteen divisions.
    For example, under Mac OS X Related Software, choose the Category Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard.
    On the page that opens, select a Forum, such as Installation & Setup, or Using Mac OS X Leopard.
    Most Category pages, have numerous Forums within them.
    But some may have only one, two, or three.
    For example, the Safari Category page, has three choices listed under Forum / Category:
    Safari For Windows
    Safari for Mac Support forum
    Safari 4 (Beta).
    And the Apple Remote Desktop Category, has only one Apple Remote Desktop Forum.
    From a Category page, select an appropriate Forum to post in.
    On Forum pages, there is an option to Post New Topic.
    More info here How Is Discussions Content Organized?.
    Edit: I have requested that a Host, relocate your Topic to a more appropriate Forum.
    As it will be transferred, it is not necessary for you to repost elsewhere, at this time.

  • Why can't I post a new topic in the Safari discussion board?

    When I go to the Safari discussion board, there is no Post New Topic button.
    Why?

    Hi Scot!
    You are probably on the Safari Category page.
    From there, you need to click the Safari Forum page.
    On Forums there is an option to Post New Topic.
    EDIT: Yep!

    Hi,
    Based on my understanding, your issue is you cannot create folder in Windows 7, right?
    Did you fix it?
    This issue might be caused by corrupted system file.

  • Why can't I get a new ringtone (song) on my iphone 5c ?

    Why can't I get a new ringtone (song) on my iphone 5c?

    Did you purchase the ringtone or make it yourself by taking an excerpt from a song?
    If taking an excerpt from a song, it must be 30 sec or less. Once you get the 30 sec clip, you have to create an AAC version of the clip. Open the folder with the AAC version of the clip and change the file extension to .m4r I believe. Then double click the new file and it will automatically be loaded in the "tones" folder. You can then open the "tones" folder in iTunes and drag it to your iPhone which is connected to iTunes on your computer.

  • Why Can't I make a New Graphic Style in Illustrator CC?

    Why Can't I make a New Graphic Style in Illustrator CC?
    Nothing works. I've tried several options to make a Graphic Style. Even tried to copy another and change it.
    Kindly Regards

    Hi
    It was a simple fillcolor with opacity. It is as if it doesnt respond. I can clic the symbol for a new layer, but nothing happens. I've dragged the style from appearance-box, to symbol for new style - Nothing. I've dragged the box directly to Graphic Styles - again - nothing. I've tried with my CS4 that worked. But not in CC.

    If you haven't, try updating through iTunes while connected to your syncing PC.

  • Why can't I install the newer version of Flash when I already have the older one?

    My virus software is turned off. I have Flash currently on my computer. In the troubleshooting page I can see the clouds in the picture so I know my current flash is working.  I went into the internet settings for add-ons and the flash is currently enabled.  Why can't I install the newer version of Flash? I tried the run and save option and it still didn't work. I can see the installer in my downloads folder. But, all I get is a black blank box that does nothing. What else can I try to get the installer to actually install the updated version of flash?

    Try the offline installer(s)
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Flash Player for Mac OS X

    You are talking about the forward, back, mail and trash can icons in the Notes App - correct?
    I've gone through restarting it and followed the instructions from the person last week.
    Have you restarted the iPad - is that what you mean? Have you quit and then restarted the app? Quit the app, and restart the iPad. It's worth a try.
    Double tap the home button and your recent apps will appear at the bottom. Hold down on the Notes app icon until it begins to wiggle. Then tap the minus sign to quit the app. Then tap the screen. Now restart the iPad.
    Carolyn explained this above (restart) but here it is again....
    Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut off. Hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logos appears then let go of the button and the iPad will restart. See if that helps.

  • Why can't I post my resume from Pages to the web or an email on my iPad?? I've tried using iCab, downloading google docs, etc. I understand it's not possible from iPad but why???

    Why can't I post my resume from Pages to the web or an email on my iPad?? I've tried using iCab, downloading google docs, etc. I understand it's not possible from iPad but why??? If I can't use safari to do it is there any other way?? Seriously, are iPads only used for watching Hulu, playing games, fb and twitter? My phone can do that!! Worst $500 I ever spent.

    We don't want to email it.....  we want to upload it.
    Then why did you say (emphasis added):
    Why can't I post my resume from Pages to the web or an email on my iPad??
    There are plenty of methods for putting a resume online, where a potential employer can download it, though admittedly the iPad is less flexible in this regard than a computer.  Nobody ever has claimed otherwise.  However, I get the feeling you're not actually looking for an answer to anything, and you're just posting to complain.  Note that that is a violation of the Apple Support Communities Terms of Use, which you agreed to when signing up for an account here.
    I wish I had gotten a Galaxy Tab.
    Then sell your iPad and go buy one.  You will have no problems whatsoever finding a buyer.

  • Why can't i post my question

    why can't i post my question

    The 2nd ethernet connection goes to an ethernet splitter that connects to my Yamaha Amp, Apple TV Living Room, thunderbolt connected MacBook Air, Bell HD PVR Sat Receiver and Xbox One. 
    By splitter I presume you mean switch.. as long as it is gigabit there is no issues.
    Some of you info is a bit hard to follow and I cannot really comment.. wireless links are necessary evil but to be avoided as much as possible.. in particular no double hop wireless.. that means all wireless AP should be ethernet linked back to a main router.. when you extend wireless you halve the speed. You also make the network less reliable.
    I have used the "Guest Network" in an attempt to prioritize specific home connections when Guests arrive.
    Guests is for keeping the clients out of the main network.. it has no particular QoS attached to it.. although when you extend wireless in guest network it does seem to go super slow.. this I think is more a bug than deliberate. Apple routers have no support for qos.
    What is the best configuration?
    All ethernet.. any wireless should not be extended.. only single hop to any wireless access point.
    Should I attempt to assign wireless channels to our devices to improve connections?
    Only if auto fails.. if it does then take control of the whole thing.. but you need to spend some time doing wireless surveys around the house.. start with the main AE with nothing else.. work out what signal levels you get and where the dark areas are.. then power on the TC and whatever express are associated and do the survey again.. get levels of each AP as seen by client in the places you want to use them.. conflicting wireless signals should be separated as much as possible but it is not so easy as there are only 3 non-overlapping channels at 2.4ghz namely 1, 6, 11 and using in between channels is not really going to help. 5ghz has more available channels but AC chews up 80mhz by itself so that doesn't leave so many.. although 5ghz wireless range is less so interference is less of an issue.
    You also have to check what wireless is around you.. and that adds so much to complexity you might as well leave things on auto.. although I break that rule when I extend wireless because I think it is less than stable so the less auto the better.. and another reason to avoid extend wireless.
    Or assign static IP addressees to the ethernet wired components?
    Static IP can help but you should always use dhcp reservation on the main router. That helps to keep the ARP tables correct.. although Yosemite has real network issues.
