A disappearing discussion on this forum!

I don't know what the deal with this is, but there was a recent discussion entitled "Instruments Drop outs..........It really ***** >:I " Now, if you do a search for this discussion and click on an entry, it goes to a page that says:
Error
An error has occurred. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Somemeone please try this and let me know what happens. I have tried it from multiple computers and multiple locations... it has been like this for days. I'm a little upset because I never got to see what happened with this discussion, but really, I just hope they didn't pull the discussion or close it or something like that. That would make alot of people very upset. Hopefully it is just an error and it will be back up soon, but really it makes no sense.

If it helps, here's my post under 'Vanishing Sounds' which refers to Instruments dropping out, a well known Logic bug. This solution works well for me.
The simplest way to fix this without closing and reopening Logic or moving tracks or regions or anything else is, as soon as an Instrument drops out, do as follows:-
1. Save Song.
2. Run song or move SPL for a bar or so.
3. Go to file/revert to saved (if it's still greyed out run song a little longer).
4. Click on revert to saved. This will load the song version you just saved but with all the Instruments working again.
You won't have to wait for Instruments to load, providing you have activated 'keep common samples in memory when switching songs' accessible by clicking on the 'options' tag on the EXS24 interface, clicking on Preferences and checking the 'keep common samples in memory when switching songs' box at the bottom.

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?

Hello friends at www.oracle.com ,
some messages seems to disappear from this forum, I've just read 2 answers to a message I've posted these days and they disappeared when I answered. What's happening?
If I'm doing something wrong, I want to be advised of this. Even my personal e-mail can be used for explanations - but I need to know what's the problem.

There used to be a Search this forum button in the Illustrator forum, but now it has disappeared altogether.
While it was still there, some of us had hopes of its beginning to work again, some day, maybe.
But now it is gone.
What about other forums?
Any hopes left?

Can't imagine any reason they would change
Great news.
Some of us "old timers" recall several times, when the older posts got dumped.
There was the aborted forum software issue - forget the dates, where much was lost. Some was saved to an archive, but the thread titles were all gone, so one only had page after page of "Post 15059686776," followed by "Post 15059686777," and so on. After a false start, the old forum was reinstated, but with the loss of the older posts.
Then, there was Jive.
Seems that I am missing a big dump of older posts, and someone will refresh my memory.
Anyway, a lot of us rely on those older posts, even when a product's version number has moved up a few notches.
Thanks,

I only can post in this forum "feedback and Discussions"

Hi:
I cant post new topics in other forums. I only can do replies but no new posts.. Could you help me
Thanks
JP

Hi JP!
If you have a question, or suggestion, about using Discussions, from this page Feedback about Discussions, click on Post New Topic, as you have done here.
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 v10.4 Tiger.
On the page that opens, select a Forum, such as Installation & Setup, or Using Mac OS X Tiger.
Most Category pages, have numerous Forums within them.
But some may have only one, two, or three.
For example the Safari Category page has four choices listed under Forum / Category, but only two of them, are Forums:
Safari 3 Public Beta for Windows
Safari for Mac Support forum.
And the Apple Remote Desktop Category, has only one Apple Remote Desktop Forum.
On Forum pages, there is an option to Post New Topic.
Click here for all iPod Forums.
Click here for all iTunes Forums.
More info here How Is Discussions Content Organized.
It can be confusing, but explore the different areas, and you will acquire a better understanding of the hierarchy.

Do discussions (threads) in this forum ever get elevated to bug reports seen by the Adobe dev's?

This forum is a fertile source of user feedback for Adobe. Is there a system in place to create tickets or bug reports or something like that out of issue brought up here? Seems like a good idea.

User to User forum.
Adobe may read some items here. That's up to the development teams. If the dev team sees something and is interested then it may perhaps get logged, But you should never assume anything on the forums is actually logged anywhere but here.
If you've found a bug, you should log it using the feadback link at the bottom of this (or any) page.

My original post, locked by this forum. Display problem related

Hi G5 Gurus,
The display problem first, we all know when screen savers display, a click on the mouse will bring you back to the active desktop, this was how it worked., but now, sometimes a click cause the G5 to sleep!
As for the sleep, I dare not to put it to sleep these days, because I am afriad it may cause a fire by over heating. Sometmes, actually four times in the past few months, my G5 could wake up by itself, followed by a extrem high speed running of the cooling fan, it sounded like a hair dryer running in the same room. Sometimes the sreen could light up, just like real wake up, sometimes, it was black. No clicks the mouse or keyboeard could bring it back to normal, I had to press and hold the power button to turn it off.
This crazy problem happened for the first time last summer, a dead hard disk was the cost. Apple replaced it, but failed to detect the cooling or power or display problem. I was given one month extended free service, but right after its end, the problem was back and happened even more often.
Please let me know if any of you had the same problem and please advise what to do.
100s Gs of thanks.

I have the EXACT same problem. In fact, I could not have described it better myself. What gives? I brought it in to the "genius" bar and they repolaced the power supply free of charge but the problem is still there. I noticed they ordered a new logic board but did not end up replacing it after all. Did you have yours replaced and did it work? Is this a known issue?

Hi La teller,
Thank you for your reply. The 'genius' here in London only replace the dead hard disk, which I belive was a victim of this problem. I was told they couldn't find anything wrong with the power supply or the cooling system.
Now at lest I know I am not the only bad luck guy. Let's wait and see if others are having the same problem. I am not sure if this is a known issue to Apple, even if it is, it may take years before they can offer a recall or free repaire. I noticed that some G5s have already been suffering from power problems and a free repaire was offered.
Thank you again and hope Apple can take our concerns into their consideration soon.

Hello,
I'm also having this problem (fan running, won't come out of sleep), just spoke with an apple care rep. He confirmed my suspition that it was software, not hardware as I have just had the logic board and power supply replaced.
His suggestions were to:
1. Run disk repair from the startup CD
try running OS X from a firewire drive and see if the same behavior happens or
perform and archive and install.
When the fan starts to run like that it means the OS is not communicating with the hardware properly. The OS could be somewhat corrupt if you were having hardware issues beforehand, hence the need for a reinstall. I will be performing an archive and install after the disk repair, I'll let you know if it fixes the problem!

Hi Stopha6,
Thank you for your message. I never imagined it could be a software issue, cos it looked so hardware.
Please keep me updated with your progress.
By the way, as I said in my old posts, a hard disk went dead when this happened for the very first time, how do you read this?
Thank you.

Hi Stopha6,
After reading your reply again, I realized that the system had already been reinstalled. As I said when it happened for the first time, the hard disk died with it, which was replaced, of course with a new OS X, but the same problem is still happening. May this suggest that it is not just a software problem? Thank you. Songyan

The Fans going at full is only because you have an application that is using a lot of cpu power and therefore causing the imac to heat up so it turns the fans on. The screen-saver and sleep problem you describe sounds like something that may just happen on accident. But this sounds mostly like a software problem. Try making sure to always quit all non-apple products and see if anything changes.

Thank you, Ag-Nate. I will try as you adivised but I con't think the fans were activeted my intensive CPU using. In most of the cases, the problems happened when the Mac was sleeping, when the minimum CPU were being used.

"The Fans going at full is only because you have an application that is using a lot of cpu power and therefore causing the imac to heat up so it turns the fans on."
That's only partly right. A hard-working process will make the fans run at high speed, of course.
But, the OS is in touch with the firmware of the iMac, telling it how to run the fans, based upon information the OS X kernel is getting about the state of the hardware.
If the firmware loses touch with the OS for some reason, and is not getting instructions on how to run the fan, it will default to running them at full blast, to be on the safe side (and this "full blast" fan mode is way louder than anything you'll generally experience during normal usage, I know from experience).
So it may not be so simple as a hard-working cpu process kicking the fans on.

Hi I have a 20" G5 imac it's about 18 months old and I am having the same problem, It freezes and the fan runs really loud. It's nothing to do with software as my I.T. guy has done a complete re-install. All of our admin people have imacs of differring ages and the flat panels are all OK but every one of the G5s has had a booting problem. Some fell into the recall for replacement logic boards but the one I have at home is the newest and doesn't. I'm waiting for my apple reseller to get back to me, but it looks like it's the logic board and as none of the serial numbers fall into the recall, I'm expecting a big bill. I'm really disappointed as I've been a professional apple user for over 15 years and have grown to expect a certain amount of honesty and integrity from them. Looking at all of the discussion boards and the amount of people complaining of the same problem the logic boards are defective and apple should be replacing these free of charge.

Kensall,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
As in the other thread I wrote:
Being from England, you may find the repair program under these pages:
http://www.apple.com/uk/support/imac/repairextensionprogram/
http://www.apple.com/uk/support/imac/powersupply/repairextension/
Check both of them as they refer to different models.
If neither of yours is under the program, please start a new topic thread so someone can help you.
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=881
First off, you'll get a wider audience who may be able to solve your problem. Secondly, responses to you won't confuse the original poster with solutions that don't apply to them. And thirdly, you'll know for certain whether or not a response applies to you.

I am having a very similar problem. My G5 imac has already had the logic board replaced from the leaking capacitor problem. 8 mos. later the power supply was replaced under the second recall program when it failed to start up.
It had been working now for almost a year, when about 3 mos. ago I started to experience the sudden dimming effect - if the display was untouched the screen would dim about 30% similar to a laptop in energy save mode. I checked and none of these types of options were set in the pref panes. At the same time I would have the iMac go to sleep after a while from non-use, and then when I tried to wake it it would stir for a few seconds and then go right back to sleep. It took 2-3 attempts to wake it up.
Then last week, as I tried to wake it, it just shut down instead completely. I had to hold the power button down to recycle it to get it to come back to life (3 times).
Today was it - I found what I thought was a sleeping iMac, but it will not power up at all. I opened the back cover and the power supply is working, but I cannot get the board to energize, I reset the PMU, but the #2 LED won't even blink. It is completely dead.
Basically every time I used this computer I held my breath that it would not work. After 2 recalls I still only get 9 mos. out of it? Apple is really starting to show it is like the "big" computer makers, the quality is going right down the tubes.

"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...

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.

Does anyone know if there is a plan to make this forum a better product?

there are quite a few problems with the structure of this forum.
maybe it is time for an update.
1. doesn't appear to be any attrempt tp consolidate responses of various identical topics
2. statistics are poor and incorrect (should always indicate lates response, should show latest response first - by default, should clearly indicate number of responses for each item, etc)
3. many more items - but insufficient time to nanalyze and document
this is not a criticism of the moderators who take the time to help others but it does newed to have a method of getting Apple's attention when there is no solution/approach to a serious product defficiency.
advisng users to use the Apple support link is like getting close to a black hole.

I am sure they are always looking for ways to improve. The current "Apple Support Communities" replaced the former "Apple Discussions" about a year ago, there were a number of changes that came with it, some good, some not so good, IMHO. About a week or two ago they made some other changes, the most visual was getting an email when a post is marked as solving the question or being helpful. Like any change, some people liked it, some didn't. But I am certain they are looking to make this forum a better product.

Poll: Would you like Nokia to watch this forum?

Hi there, E-series fans. I've put up a poll regarding the subject above in the N-series forum. If you're interested, take a look and give your opinion.

You can be sure that Nokia is using this forum as a great fishing pond. Nokia can use this information without any obligation. If theire is a great topic about e.g. Nokia Messaging, and they see that a great deal of users have problems with NM, they will sure take action, because it's in their own interest. But changes that have to be made must be well tested before a firmware update. But I understand your point of view. This is an issue with many big companies.

Suggestion to Moderators: time to split this forum into subjects

I think this forum went through significant activation and change since first initiated after SAPPHIRE 2010. As HANA went from the idea on the slide to real thing with many different aspects I think it is time to split this forum into few focused topics, e.g.:
- Business cases for in-memory technology
- SAP HANA platform and administration
- SAP HANA development (SQL, SQLScript etc)
- Data replication into SAP HANA (SLT, SyRS)
- SAP HANA Dev Center
- SAP HANA Security
etc.
BO integration with HANA should be in BO forums. BW-on-HANA should be in corresponding forums on BW and OS/DB migrations.
Thanks everyone for lively discussions (especially technical ones and contributing to this forum!
-Vitaliy

Hi Vitaliy,
Your suggestion makes perfect sense to me. However, as we are all waiting for the new SCN to launch, we should get prepared to do some re-org of the content on the new platform and not introduce another level of complexity here. I don't think a definite date has been announce yet, but we're getting closer to the final migration. At least the developer center will have it's own forum on the new platform. Plus, the new SCN will allow tagging of content, so it'll be much easier to keep things organized if we all show some discipline (and if we don't, separate forums won't help because without some discipline, people will post into whatever they find first)
cheers

How to make this forum better?

Hi friends
I have the ability to create an announcement inside this forum. So I'm thinking about this possibility. I'm following this forum for about a time just to be sure it's free of spammers (and also for learning each time more about scripts and participating when having time).
I'd like your opinion....
What do you think about creating an announcement called "Read it before posting your questions here". The body of the announcement should tell the users links from where are the manuals of Illustrator Scripting and the JavaScripts Tools Guide. This could help people find useful informations of Illustrator scripting and know more about it. Do you think it would be useful?
Also, do you think some times...is there some users who ask questions, but, at true their objectives is to make the specialists here to create an entire code for them?? ...like..."Hey, I want to create a snow ball in Illustrator. How could I do via script?"
If you perceive there are such users, do you think would be good to include in the announcement a paragraph to warn about this?? So, this would alert this forum is a place essentially for "help"?
Can you share your inputs about this subject, on how I could create a good announcement to help new users to use it better?
Thank you very much
Best Regards
Gustavo.

Want to move this forum - any concerns?

I'd like to move this forum to the following location so that all Solaris developer forums are together in one place:
https://community.oracle.com/community/server_%26_storage_systems/systems-development-and-management-tools/application_d…
Do you have any concerns about my doing that? I would leave a link under the current location.
Let me know what you think.
Rick

I do not have any issue with such a move.
Development questions might actually be more appropriate if they are there instead of the current location (nested among OS functional spaces).
I've been viewing forum posts here at OTN (and in the Sun sponsored forum site before that) for more than a decade and the Solaris Development space was always a tiny bit "foreign" to all the other discussions. I think that was due to there just not being a web location that was more development centric.
There are fewer than 800 posts in the New To Solaris Development space, compared to almost 30,000 posts combined in the functional Solaris spaces.
Edit:
I took the liberty of editing a typo in your original title for this thread...
"form" --> "forum"

This forum and Safari please tell me what to do!

I have to Camino just to use this forum, Safari will not work with it any more.
Please do not move this topic to the safari room because its not safari. Safari is fine on just about every other web page I visit, except apples own!
Problems:
Viewing next page threads. Usually you can get the first page up but going to the next page no go.
Getting to 'your posts' Usually won't load.
Posting a reply. Easily the most frustrating problem. You can sometimes fly through the fourm to the reply, type your reply and nothing, it refuses to load, either safari bombs out saying it could not connect to server or a new pages loads on the web site saying there was an error. also if you click refresh or stop whilst trying to post the mssage the 'post' button is now disabled. The only way to do anything is to copy the text launch Camino and do it from there where it works every single time.
It is the most frustrating problem and makes using the forums very difficult.
If I am the only one fair enough, tell me what I need to do to fix the problem.
Thanks!

Gary,
discussions may sometimes be slow for an hour or so (at which point the opening page of discussions will eventually apologize for the inconvenience, back on line soon...) but your description looks like a cache problem.

This forum doesn't display properly on my computer

I am able to post questions/discussions from my computer, but none of the drop down menus work and when someone comments on my questions, the buttons for "helpful answer" and "correct answer" don't show up. Logging in on a different computer, I can see these things and all functionality is there. Is there something I should update on my computer? Thanks for any help!

Are you using Internet Explorer? It doesn't always play nice with this forum. As suggested, you might try using a different browser. I also have no issues using the forum with Chrome.
