Why is asking about the content of InstalledPrinters.plist a taboo topic?

Earlier today I posted a query regarding devices other than printers being listed in InstalledPrinters.plist
I received an email from [email protected] stating "Your recent post, titled "InstalledPrinters.plist includes ...", was speculative in nature and has therefore been removed from Apple Discussions."
I was simply asking a technical question as to why devices other than printers were listed in this file, as a prelude to inquiring if it would be OK or even necessary to edit the file. I have no clue whatsoever how Apple can see this as speculation or rumor.
I received one reply (by email subscription), but am unable to respond since the thread was removed.
This action seems rather Gestapo-ish and certainly un-technical. As a Mac user since 1984, I am disappointed.

Oops.
Ah, but there is either a human or a bot which decided that my original techniocal question was "speculation or rumor". So maybe they/it will see this thread and tell me why my question is banned.
My question is, since I see devices other than printers in said file, is it prudent or safe or unsafe to edit the file to contain only printers.

Have you tried restarting or rebooting the iPad and then see if the volume control will work again?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Call the Apple Store and ask them what you should do if you want to purchase on line without a credit cart and without purchasing a gift card which seems to me would require a credit card.

I have few questions to ask about the Expert Series and Valet Series

Hello.
I have few questions to ask about the Expert Series and Valet Series.
1. I see there aren't any print server/bridge/access point for these two new series. Do I have to use previous ones? Or the new ones are in planned in near future?
2. Do I "HAVE TO USE CONNECT SOFTWARE"? Can I just use web interface to do every setting that these routers features?
3. Does expert series routers support guest network and parental control?
4. When I look into informations of these router, some router doesn't give information about backward compatible to older standards. Do I have to consider that as they are backward compatible with older standards?
Ok, that's all for now.
If I need to ask more questions I will do that in this thread as reply

With the New Expert or the Valet Series Router, you still can use the Print Server / Bridge and Access Points.
Well with the Expert and Valet Series router, you have an option to User Cisco Connect Software or you can User Web Interface of the Router. But with the Cisco Connect Software you have an Advantage of creating a Guest Account and using Parental Control , which is not available using the Web Interface.
These both the routers are backward compatible and they can connect to your G Series Product.

Hello
Recently, I asked about the possibility to swap from windows to mac with Adobe Design Standard CS5.5. In response, I was directed to the help page and i know that it is possible. But today I see that the help page is out of date.
How cann I now swap platforms for Adobe Design Standard CS5.5? Do I realy need to buy CS6? Or afer dowloading the mac version of CS5.5 I get the key. And if I realy need upgreade the CS5.5 cann I use the Mac version of CS6 for the dowloaded mac version of CS5.5? Is it possible?

Thanks !
I didn't know that I cann buy CS6 Mac upgrade in Adobe Store.
So I have only to buy the CS6 Mac versions and upgrade CS5.5 Win to CS6 Mac?
How does look the procedure?
Do I need to install first the CS5.5 Mac on my Macbook and then upgrade it or is it not necessary?
Thanks

I wanted to ask about the iOS 7.

Hello
I wanted to ask about the iOS 7 This software will be available for iPod Touch 4?
Thanks

The iPod touch has only 256MB for RAM and has a single core Apple A4 Processor, While the iPhone 4 does share the same chip, it has more RAM (512MB) features like Parallax Wallpapers, Dynamic Wallpapers, Animated weather, Dynamic clock app, Translucency, and not to mention all the camera features and improvements cannot be on only 256MB RAM. The newer iPod touch features a dual core A5 chip with (512MB) RAM, This is also a reason the older iPod touch didn't get Siri.

I run OSX10.6.8. Just dwnlded FF8.1 and everytime I go to open it I am asked about the disk image. But if I delete the dmg, the program won't run.

I just downloaded the 8.1 version. It was a 30+mb file. Previously I ran 4.0. So I drag the new Firefox icon into the Apps folder. It does its merge thing with the old version. Problem is when I click to open FF now, it always throws up this window asking me about the disk image of what I just downloaded. I even tried restarting the computer--but the same message pops up. I checked on your website and it says that I need to "eject" the disk image (i.e. I'm guessing that means the 30+ mb file I just down loaded), so since I don't have an eject option that I can find (except for external harddrives and cd/dvd), I just drug it into the trash. I go to empty the trash and I get a message that that dmg file is "in use" even though FF is completely shut down. So again I'm guessing that means that even though I already merged that dmg file with the old 4.0 version file, if I dump the update file it seems that it's going to mess up the actual revised program file still remaining. I just want to be able to click on the icon in my dock like I've always done and have FF open. I don't want to keep being asked about disk image stuff. Somehow this feels like an easy resolution, but I just can't seem to put my finger on how to resolve it. Thanks for you help.

Nope---didn't work. I've owned Macs for about 12 years so although I am brain dead on some things, I do have a working knowledge on most things. I only say that to say this--I did try holding down the mouse and choosing empty trash. It asks if I want to permanently delete what's in there. I say yes--and then I get the same identical message again-----'The operation can't be completed because the item "Firefox 8.0.1.dmg" is in use I can then click stop, or continue.' So apparently that complains the same way it does if I click it up on the menu :)))
As for item owned by---that's not an issue and isn't coming up. User is not a problem either as I am the only user on this system. There is only ONE file in my trash at the moment at that is this dmg file. Nothing Mac. Nothing owned by anyone other than Firefox. The problem seems to be that the dmg file and the original 4.0 FF file are working in tandem with each other--even though I have already drug the new 8.0 globe into the Apps folder and it updated the FF app with the new stuff. If I could force the dmg file to go away, I would do so, but at every turn the system is telling me it can't be done because it seems to think that dmg file is in use---even though everything is shut down and/or ejected. Hey--I'm getting ready to head out and won't be back till evening. I'll check back in this evening. Thank you again for your help.
