A funny thing happened on the way to the forum

So being stuck in Pittsburgh airport (which is rather nice, although they need some more trash cans) i decided to wander around and shop. While wandering and waiting i did what any MP3 player owner would do, listen to music. People asked me about this thing that played music, this "not-iPod." I told them, good and bad... i think they'll be buying one.
And while walking among the myriad of ipod shaped accessories, what did i rarely see. AN iPOD! I saw a shuffle and a mini, belonging to middle schoolers. But what i did see, and talk about was the Touch. Of the few dozen people i saw walking around that airport, i saw more touches than iPods.
Creative, get your stuff together. Advertise and update the Touch. If i saw in an airport that it outnumbered the iPod almost 0:, think of what you could do. Advertise to business people: "Business or Pleasure? Both - Pocketsized." A portable harddri've and MP3 player.
Do not go quietly into the night... rage against the dying of the light! Gi've people a reason to want the product and want to return.

Turns out that what I saw was momentary in other Adobe forums, but lingered in the PE forum. JerryK got right on it and had it fixed.
In other Adobe forums, just closing those, and coming right back did not yield the problem, except for PE, but now all is right. Except for the recent slowdown... but that's another story.
Thanks for the replies,

A funny thing happened on the way to becoming a Mac owner...

I won't bore you with more PC user gone Mac (which I am) questions. I would like to thank all of you that have unknowingly provided me with a wealth of information about the Mac world.
A funny thing happened - I began enjoying sitting in front of a computer screen again (after 15 years in the IT industry). I bought this machine with full intentions of installing boot camp to give me the flexibility of running some of my Windows software and games - I can't bring myself to do it. I resolved myself to stick with the software and games that are available for the Mac, and see where that leads me.
Obviously the new romance will wear off and I may yet have to revisit the boot camp solution. However, I would truly like to thank Apple and this community for bringing a smile to my face and reminding me that owning a PC doesn't always have to be about racing to the next best piece of hardware or searching for 3rd-party drivers to make peripherals work correctly.
Thank you all, and I look forward to many years entrenched in the Mac world.

Oh, you sound a bit like me. My shiny new iMac is on it's way. Had never even touched one until a couple of weeks ago (after many months of shopping and looking for ways to have a new machine and NOT Vista). Went to an Apple store and am Mac-smitten.
I recently invested a bunch on some Office 2007 programs, and thought I just HAD to get Parallels and XP installed, but you know what? The more I think about it, the more I think I want to just let my Mac be a Mac!!!
So I'll just continue using the older laptop with the Office stuff for my business and give myself time to explore the Mac world. Even bought it it's own little computer desk. Sooner or later I'll be "all Mac" and make somebody happy at Christmas with the Office software (can't convert 'em all to Mac all at once).

A Funny Thing Happened on My Way to the Forum

I realize that there has been some work on the forum structures, with the release of a couple of new Adobe products.
Today, however, I cannot "Reply" to any of the forums. Checked that I am logged-in and I am. All I can do is "Bookmark," or "Return to Top."
I'll try a re-boot and start over, but wonder if anyone else has this problem. Of course, if they do, they can't Reply to this thread, can they?
Hope that it's an anamoly and not signs of things breaking...

Funny thing happens at the logon window after waking up

Hello,
After my MacBook (Mountain Lion installed to latest update) wakes up, the logon screen is dark and as I move the mouse over it, it reveals the various icons and user names. Thsi happens every time after the computer sleeps. I attach a screenshot for your review.
This does not happen when the computer is powered on "from scratch" (i.e., after it was completely shut down), just upon waking up.
Also, this has happened for a while, even before the upgrade to Mountain Lion.
Any ideas what I can do?
Thanks.

If Leopard came pre-installed and this is a new machne, then the disks that came in the box should let you archive install preserving users & network settings. The disks have a grey label, and if you get more than one use disk #1 for this procedure.
Hold down the "option" (also known as "alt" on the new keyboards) key when starting up with disk #1 in the optical drive. Select the install disk icon on the grey screen and click the arrow. Then when you get to the "select destination pane, click the options button after selecting your hard drive as the destination. In options A& I preserving should be checked by default, if not, select them. Click "ok" to dismiss the options pane, then run the installation.
If this does not work for you, call apple support. They want everything to work. Be patient, they are real busy these days.

A funny thing happened on the way to installing 10.5: my email disappeared

I had a machine running 10.4.11. I installed 10.5.6 and my email disappeared (I'm using the Apple mail application -- I could see evidence of the email existing the filesystem, just not from the application). I upgraded to 10.5.8, and all was fixed, somehow magically.
I had another machine that was, until a week ago, running some version of 10.3. The recent upgrade to 10.4.11 left the email on it in a corrupted state - the messages appeared to be there but they were empty. Upgrading to 10.5.6, then 10.5.8 did not fix the problem. Luckily we had backed up the email before any of the upgrades, so we were able to re-import the mail. However, the Inbox was still corrupted and had to be rebuilt to get rid of the empty messsages.
I don't know, it seems like this should be one of the FIRST things to be made robust in the upgrade process. Is this problem really THAT difficult? Since all the email was handled by Apple applications, it's not like there was some horrible third party vendor compatibility problem to worry about.

A funny thing happened on the way to my new car

Yesterday (on my birthday) I bought a new car and used all I have learned here. I went in with all my FICO scores and the interest rate I wanted. We had a good discussion and I was offered a slightly higher rate and all these extras. After thinking about it, I said no to all the extras and lo and behold he made a counter offer and lowered my interest rate to 1.9, which I wanted in the first place. Then he offered me all those pricey extras for practically nothing! Thanks to all my FICO friends! I am one happy camper! Oh, and my new car is an Acura RDX fully loaded! Yay! Happy Birthday to me!

I have several layers for my image: Background, Moon, Tree, Grass and Clouds. When I try to use the Move tool to move the Moon, the tool jumps to the Tree layer. The same thing happens with the other layers as well (except the background layer). How can I keep the move tool from jumpimg to the Tree layer?

1. Pre-select (highlight) the layer to move in the Layers panel. or-
2. [ALT+Right mouse click] to select the wanted layer in the image window.
and maybe
3. Set the PS option to "Auto-select" a layer with cursor hover. (can be very confusing!)

Up next doesn't seem to work properly with multiple speakers over airplay. The status bar on the computer shows the song playing, but not over airplay. When I restart the song it plays, but the same thing happens when the next song cues up. Any ideas?

Funny Thing Happened on Way to Forum

Friday, Jan. 20, 2012 - MST (-8 GMT?), the forum sign in page went dead, at about 1:00PM. OK, stuff happens, and the whole Adobe Forum went down the previous Friday - the 13th!!! The screen that I got, for many hours (gave up at ~ 10:00PM MST, but all is good today, Saturday, Jan. 21.
What was funny, was that I was seeing new posts from other parts of the globe, when I would go to a product forum page. Some were from the UK, at least one was from Europe, and two were from the US, but in a different TMZ - Central. It seems that the US Pacific, and Mountain TMZ users were out of luck. Perhaps a particular node going down?
I kept looking on the Forum Comments main page, to see if some maintenance notification would be posted, but then maybe Adobe was locked out too, being in the Pacific Standard TMZ?
Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks,
Hunt
PS - I also tried several browsers, and several IP accounts, just in case, but got the same error screen, so did not seem to be computer, browser, or IP specific.

Your observations seem to be correct. Originally, I had considered geography, but that theory was quickly shot down.
Seems (yes, realize that Rick's observations in the other thread, are speculation, but good ones) that it was a matter of who was already logged-in, when the problem started. For me, the inability to log-in (log-in page unavailable) ran for about 8 hours +/-.
As you note, the forums, themselves, were still active, but only for those, who stayed logged-in. While the activity was way, way down, I kept seeing new posts (those were some of the people, who I contacted), from time to time. I kept reading, though I was not logged-in. Got not auto log-in, but maybe I did not stick around reading long enough for such a thing to happen.
Appreciate the reply, and until Adobe has a different answer, I'll just go with the theory that those, who stayed logged-in, were not hit, and even unaware of a problem, while those who logged-out, could not get back in, for some period of time.
Thanks,
Hunt

HT201177 My Macbook pro: After sleeping, the screen comes on momentarily then blacks out. When I close the lid and reopen it the same thing happens. The screen only does this after waking up from sleeping. Help, thanks!

Macbook Pro:
When I raise the lid after sleeping, the screen comes on momentarily then backs out. If I close the lid and raise it again, the same thing happens. It is sometimes necessary to force quit. Once restarted, there is no problem unless the lid is closed for a short time and the machinge goes to sleep.

Hi ...
Try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

A funny thing happened to me yesterday...

I put up a post on this site yesterday that was critical of the new update...and shazam!!! My post is gone!!! Amazing!!!

If it violated any of Verizon's TOS, someone may have reported it.
When a post gets reported, it is immediately removed. It will then be reviewed by a moderator to determine if anything needs to be edited, deleted or left as is. It will then be returned to the forum.

What is happening to the forum sort?

Why aren't the latest threads showing up on the top? This was so convenient, now I don't know where the latest one showing within a forum.
Also, earlier I was able to watch threads/forums without actually getting email updates about the same. Now if I put watch, I am getting tonnes of emails in my inbox. I liked the old feature where I can mark something for watching and find it by just going to my watches once I login to the website.

Hi Srinivas,
The delay is for reducing the work load on db.
This is what the moderator has to say about this feature..
<i>the delay is indeed a feature and part of our effort to reduce database load in order to further stabilize the forums. It is the so-called "Short-term query cache", it prevents cache expirations of the query cache from happening more than once every 5 or 10 seconds.
Another part is by the way that you are no longer able to choose the way threads are displayed (tree or threaded), only "flat" mode is possible.
However, I could not reproduce the "bug" where you points total is shown as 0. Is this still the case? Perhaps there was a short outage of the points system...
Regards,
Michael</i>

What happened to the forums?

Anyone else? The forums are totally hosed right now for me... hope Adobe isn't planning on keeping this new format... it's quite terrible.

Yeah, they have been doing some updates to the format. Kinda hard to comment without being insulting or sarcastic towards whoever is responsibile for the mess that has been piling up... they tend to be in denial when it comes to criticism. If you want to let 'em know, head over to the Forum Comments forum...

What happened to the Forum Posts?

Is it just me? I can't see any items in this Forum after Jan 9, 2004. (Except one in Feb and one in Nov). I know there were a lot more items here, but they are gone!?

A funny thing happend on the way to iTunes...

Okay, I just had to share this with someone. We all need a laugh now and then. Maybe it's just funny to me.
Searching on iTunes for song by the band Journey, I came across the song "Don't stop Believin" which is a pretty cool song.
I clicked on the first listing to sample it and the song starts! Cool I thought! Then in the back ground I hear Arnold Schwarzenegger counting. "14, 15, 16, keep going! keep pressing, up! down! up! down!, Now we're going to do calf raises!"
Laughing histarically, I'm like what the heck?
Then I realized it's an track from Arnold's Total Body Workout!" HA!
It really sounds funny when you expect to hear a rock song and you here THAT!
LOL
