1000 Postings in this forum!

Hello everyone.
I just noticed that with this posting we reach the number of 1000 postings since this forum was opened on March, 26th. After a time of testing we anounced the forum in our old mailing list end of April and now it seems that we established a lively community here in the SDN.
Thanks to everyone participating in this forum! Setting up the SDN forum is one thing but for a good community it needs all of us taking part. Asking questions, answering questions or discussing news about SAP on system i.
And if you have any questions regarding this forum feel free to ask...
Once again a big thank you to all of you taking part in this forum,
Jan

re: "ask how in the world they wound up doing that"
Hear! Hear!
Tom,
I often asked myself the same, even at the old forums Discussions Feedback, as it is not evident with the way the Discussions designers have laid out the site that any question would be posted here "except" for the appropriate questions!
Allowing for a user to be (and obviously they most likely are) new to the Discussions....it is still quite hard to understand how a user winds up here and then posts a question that should be posted in another forum logically.
I, and I'm sure yourself, would love to know out of curiosity more than anything as it really makes no sense what possibly a user's path would be to bring them here for posting hardware/software questions. At first I thought there might be a hint that a user may come here looking for how to use the forum and then continue to post here as well....but the Bold Red banner at top really is hard to miss....wouldn't you say....lol ))))
My post here is not to ridicule the users who post here as I'm sure they would post in the appropriate forum if they knew better but it just seems so strange.
Best,
littleshoulders [:-)

How do I turn off email alerts of postings in this forum? They're inundating my inbox?

I was trying to troubleshoot problems with font and other graphics on my macbook Pro which had gotten incredibly tiny after the last auto-update. Still have no answer on that.
Now my mac.com inbox is being inundated by notifications of EVERY post in the user community. How do I opt out of these notifications? I can't find anyway to do that.

Click on your name, then Preferences on the right side navigation, then Email Notification Preferences.
I also suggest posting in the corresponding forum as well https://discussions.apple.com/community/using_apple_support_communities

"You do not have permission to post in this forum"

I have another account that cannot do anything much at all, and I would like to get it fixed without a five day wait for a Genius Bar appointment, then a 1 hour bus trip each way with an "I can't help with that" in the middle.
The account has been broken for over a year. This is what happens:
I can submit a question to the community.
I can open any postings that show as matches.
If there are no matches and I get thrown to the list of communities, then I can't view or post to any of them. I see the product names and icons (iPad, for example, but the list of related communities on the right is missing for all products. Which seems unfair because I own most of them.
You do not have permission to post to this forum
It appears you are not allowed to view what you requested. You might contact your administrator yadda yadda.
I have posted about this before:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17393255#17393255
with no real answer (a threat of possible help, if you like, but with no resultant benefit.)
My question is - how does one get help with the help forums? I have phoned Apple's help desk and they said they could not do anything.
I would really like to get my primary account working - it connects to the right email address, it all set up and comfortable - and it does not use my name and location as an alias (who's idea was that? Fire that person!)
If you know of any court of appeal, help desk support forum support line, 21-step program or anything else that might help, please tell me. This has gone on long enough.
I tried to do something about this from the other account but to get support for the support communities you have to be able to post to them.
"That's some catch, that Catch-22"
"It's the best there is."
Thanks in advance for your help.

Seventy-one - To my knowledge, I have been a model citizen. And not impertinent of you at all - a very reasonable question. All words have been 1-3 or 5+ letters long, I certainly have not received any communication (that I have been able to find) that indicates a transgression. And there is another question - which castle, and are you saving for the deposit?
Bleach - other user name is "Ploughguy". But I was more after a means of contacting those with influence myself. Most fora like this have a contactable moderator or administrator. I am rather amazed that one needs the intercession of the saints. Such as St Roger...
Roger - This situation. The "can't look-can't post" situation. It has been (not) happening for some time.
I previously raised the issue here .
BTW, I created yet another ID because I was not careful enough when I set up the second ID and it defaulted to "NameFromSuburb". This is OK for johnfromnewyork but a huge privacy risk if you are ranulffromlittlestorpingintheswuff - an unusual name in a small place. I do not know how that default got through the peer review. Basically it says "ranulf has the good taste to own an Apple something which is portable and fenceable, and he lives not far from here". I have suggested to the privacy people that it is a very bad idea. And yes, I realise my alias is already out there. I have asked the privacy people to blow it away.

How do you set the time for this forum??? Not in nerd pleas

how do you set the time for this forum?

There were problems with the correct time display for postings, and based on another recent post this doesn't seem to have been fixed. My advice... don't worry about it.

What's Going On With This Forum? Posted comments wait for a moderator

They wait, and wait, and wait, and wait.
Whose policy is this to screen everything before allowing posts to show up? Is that a Toshiba policy? What is Toshiba afraid of? If this is a Toshiba policy, I object. I object very strongly. Strongly enough that I'm just about tempted to pack up the mini notebook and ship it back to B&H and buy a different brand where the manufactor doesn't censor the support forum.
Let's see if this shows up.

Hello Edmund
To be honest I don't understand your question. As I can see you have posted 40 times until now.
Be honest and tell us how often you saw message like this:
*Please note, your reply will need to be approved by a moderator before it is posted in the forum.*
Probably first time now. I have noticed that sometimes forum is closed for postings but there must be some reason why moderator do this. At the moment you can write what you want.
There is no reason for panic or comments about Toshiba policy.
Every serious forum has own policy and this forum is more than serious. Isnt it?
So it is nothing unusual and it can be done due to some technical or any other reason.
Look a little bit what people write here and you will find very critical postings but nothing is blocked or edited by Toshiba so I think this forum is free and democratic. Your posting is also published.
In my opinion it is the best evidence that your critic and opinion about this forum and Toshiba forum policy is completely unjustified. Do you agree with me?
Good luck!

HOWTO: get your questions answered on this forum

As this is primarily about formatting, I hope I've got everything right :)
Giving your posting a clear layout is helpful to the other participants in this forum, because it makes your contribution easier to read. Here are some tips for increasing the clarity of your question or reply.
[list=1]
[*]1. PLEASE DO NOT USE ALL CAPITALS. It makes your posting harder to read. Mixed case (at least in English) has the greatest variety of letter shapes and therefore conveys the most information to a reader's eyes. Also, netiquette considers all capitals to be the equivalent of SHOUTING and is thus rude.
[*]2. Pls dont us txt abbrvtns n ur pstng. This also makes things difficult to read. Nobody will think you are less of a "d00d" if you use you instead of u.
[*]3. Please make use of the UBB formatting options. These are like HTML mark-up, but they use square brackets - []- instead of pointy ones - <>. More information can be found at the Forum FAQ http://forums.oracle.com/forums/faq.jsp?uid=1027669490365 (unfortunately, the URL for the actual formatting page is not visible to us, so I can't post it here).
[*]4. Please include all necessary information. This usually means, at minimum, the database version you are using. If you are asking about a piece of your own code that does not work, post the error code and/or message, or at least describe its behaviour. Saying "it doesn't work" doesn't give us much to go on. Posting the code is a good idea, unless it's humongous: use the UBB [ code ][ /code ] format.
[*]5. Please read the documentation before posting. Some people are offended by replies that say RTFM or STFW. You won't invite such replies if you have made reasonable efforts to find out the answer yourself before posting here. This means at least reading the Oracle manual. You should also try using the Forum search engine, although we know it is somewhat unreliable: OTN have promised to make it better soon. There is a lot of information on the web so learning to use a search engine like Google (http://www.google.com) will help you as well.
[*]6. Start a new thread for a fresh topic. Appending a new subject to an existing thread is not a good idea. If it's a long running thread only a handful of people might visit it - as everyone else has got bored - which decreases your chances of getting a reply. Also, it antagonises the people who are following that thread.
[list]
There's further discussion of formatting postings here: The specified item was not found..
In summary, if you cannot be bothered to spend the time making you post easy and interesting to read why should other people spend their time answering it? There are no Oracle moderators on this forum, we are all volunteers.
Cheers, APC
Caveat emptor
This advice is posted on behalf of the Rogue Moderators. It is posted with the best of intentions but is not guaranteed in any way, shape or form

7. Don't post the same question several times.If someone can answer your question, he/she will do, asking twice or more often
doesn't give better answers.
8. Do not use terms like "URGENT" or "pl.answer asap".
Noone will answer faster, but many will be bored.
9. Do not login with a name like NULL NULL.
People answering your question would like to talk to a person,
not to a brain damage.

Why can't I stay 'signed In' on this forum?

......................this does sometimes happen, though, if I have started a subject or taken part in a discussion but nearly always when visiting this forum I have to sign in almost every time, which is a pain, to be honest. Almost all other forums to which I subscribe (a few exceptions) keep you logged in unless you log out.

I agree. Fortunately my iPad mini has an auto fill function.
It is one of very few forums that doesn't allow me to stay logged in.
Perhaps this could be changed as other lithium forums do allow me to stay logged in.

Do you think this Forum should be divided in two or three&

The HCM Payroll Germany, Austria & Switzerland (DACH) has been created more than a month ago and not a single thread had been posted in it until this morning.
Considering that the forum/category "ERP HCM (HR)" often sees more than 60 threads with postings per day,
I believe SAP's SCN should consider to create at least one or two new forum/category to help sub-divide the ERP HCM (HR).
Possibly ERP HCM - Payroll and ERP HCM - Time Management (and rename the other one ERP HCM - HR) ?
I had initially posted this question into the HCM Payroll Germany, Austria & Switzerland (DACH), my thread was moved to the "Suggestions and Comments" forum by a moderator, and now someone tells me to post it in the "Idea Place".
So I will asy you, the users of this Forum, whether you would like this forum to be divided into two or three (and what should be their "titles") ?

Remi
i only moved the thread to suggestion and comments forum , as that is right forum for the discussion
and comeing to your query yes i also wants the forum to be divided based on the Modules in HCM
But if we do that what in case of other modules say ABAP we ABAP HR also right
and i welcome your suggestion from HCM point of view

My question is complicated. In order to ask it, I need to attach a Word doc and a PDF to illustrate my problem.
Is it possible to do this here and, if so, how?

Sorry, users cannot attach files in this forum for security and copyright reasons.
To share a file, post it to a cloud service (e.g. Dropbox) and paste the link in your question. Be aware that it will be visible to the entire world, so don't include anything sensitive or personal.

Has anyone in this Forum had problems with installing and running Adobe apps on the new MacPro?

Has anyone in this Forum had problems with installing and running Adobe apps on the new MacPro?
I have been trying to install Photoshop CS6 & CC and Acrobat Pro XI on my Mac Pro (late 2013). I keep getting a 'configuration' error message and wondered if the problem was wide spread.
TIA,
Jerry

Thanks, Martin.
Good to hear someone has had success. The lack of it here is frustrating and depressing.
Thanks again,
Jerry

I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.

I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.
I am currently using Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows 7. After several years of use, I am self taught and adequately proficient for an amateur. What I didn't realize (until I started researching my upcoming migration on the Internet) is that I actually use PE8 for two functions: digital asset management and digital editing.
Regarding Digital Asset Management: My research leads me to understand that PE on MAC does not provide the same level of organizational capability that I am used to having on Windows, instead providing Adobe's Bridge which does not look very robust. Furthermore, iPhoto, which come on MAC will not support the hierarchical keyword tagging that I require to organize my library of photos. The two SW applications which I am thinking of switching to are either Aperture or Adobe's Lightroom. Frankly, I'm thinking that it would be smoother to stay within the Apple product line.
So the remaining question is whether Aperture will support my digital editing needs. The tweaks that I do to my photos are not very complex (no, I do not want to put people's heads on other animal bodies). But could someone who uses Aperture tell me whether It will allow me to do the following kinds of edits?:
- If I have a photo where someone's face is too shadowed, can I lighten just that person's face, and leave the rest of the photo as-is?
- if I have a photo where the background is cluttered (eg, 2 people in front of the Parthenon which is undergoing renovation), can I remove just the construction cranes?
- Can it splice together several separate photos to give a panoramic?
If, once I get Aperture, I find that it cannot enable the kinds of editing that I do, I would probably get PE11 in the future. However, if people in this forum tell me that Aperture will definitely not support the kinds of editing which I've described in the previous paragraph, I would prefer to get PE11 with my initial configuration (since someone will be helping me with my migration).
Thanks in advance for your consideration and help!

I am concerned, however, about using a non-Apple Digital Asset Manager in OSX. I would really like to avoid integration problems. Is using PE11 to import and catalog my digital photos likely to cause conflicts?
Thanks for any insight on this
Amy,
Not so much conflicts as maybe a little less seamless integration with Apple software and perhaps some third-party software providers in the Mac App Store where some programs build in direct access to iPhoto and Aperture libraries for getting images into those programs easily. Typically, there is a manual command to go to Finder (think Windows Explorer) to browse folders.
One caution to mention however, is that the organization you set-up in PE Organizer is unlikely to transfer over to either iPhoto or Aperture if you decide to change at some point.
The only real stumbling block that I see in your opening comment is that you want hierarchical keywording (Kirby or Léonie can go into the details on keywording limitations as I stay at one level). If you can work with the keywording schemes of either iPhoto or Aperture, then using PE for your external editor (either program supports setting an external editor) would probably be ideal since you know PE well. This is the idea with the Mac App Store version of PE (editor with no organizer).
Note - I use Photoshop CS6 (full version) with Aperture and it works really well. The only downside is that Aperture has to make either a TIFF or PSD file to send to an external editor so that the original file is protected by not sending it to the pixel editor. While TIFF or PSD files protect the integrity of the image information without degrading it, they are typically much larger file sizes on disk than either RAW or JPEG files. Therefore, your library size (iPhoto or Aperture) will balloon quite a bit if you send a lot of files to external editors.
One other possibility for an external editor would be a program called Pixelmator. It is pretty similar to early versions of Photoshop, but built for Mac. Other than the panoramics you want, it will do most pixel editing that PE can do. It is not an organizer, so it is built to go with either iPhoto or Aperture. It does have differences in how you complete certain procedures, so there is bit of a learning curve when you are used to doing it the Adobe way.

Elements 12 will not run. I am using windows 7, all updates have been made. When I try to open it up, it loads at first, then closes, and will not open up again. I need help with this, as I have not found a single answer in this forum that works.

As stated, I just downloaded elements 12. Every time i open it up, it gets to the organizer home screen, then shuts down. After this, it will not reopen. I have made all the updates to my windows 7, and I have searched this forum and have yet to find an proper solution to this issue, and by the looks I am not the only person with this issue. Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated.

My post has been viewed 24 times, and yet have had no answers. I have always like adobe products, however if this is the type of support they offer, I will never purchase another product of theirs. The issue I am having is the same issue many others have had, and yet no answer. Poor customer service!

I lost my contacts. First it would not open Facebook or my iMessage . So I turn off phone and turned it back on. Then all contacts were gone. That is not cool. I don't want to sync . I also read on this forum iPhone is not a storage device .???

I Lost my contacts . I don't sync. Why should I have too? Very frustrating. I read on this forum iPhone was designed to work with computer. Then I guess this phone is not for me.
My fb and my iMessage would not open. So I turned of my phone and turned it back on. Bang ! They were gone. Funny how I never have problems with my itouch.

I just downloaded Maverick on my Macbook Pro from 2011. When I try to open iPhoto, it says that I have an old version that doesn't work with Maverick. None of the solutions stated on this forum work for me, because there are no options displayed.

After downloading Maverick on the MacBook Pro that I bought in 2011, I am unable to open iPhoto. The message says "You can't use this version of the application "iPhoto" with this version of OS X. You have "iPhoto" 9.2.3" What??? That is ridiculous. Why doesn't Maverick download everything? I've tried the "fixes" I found on this forum, but none of them work for me, because there is no workaround via the library. I can't access the library.

I have an old iPhoto version and it still works with Mavericks, the version before yours, that is puzzling.
