A question about the month long ship date on preorders.

I realize they received a ton of preorders, but it still doesn't make sense that people I know are able to walk into an AT&T store and get one within a day or two (one waited for 3 hours, and they reserved one of a new shipment the following day and called him in, another walked in and they had one within two days for him).
What's the point of a preorder then if it takes a month to ship? (ordered June 17th, delivered by July 19th).
It's not that big of a deal. I'll wait as I don't have much time this summer and am busy during AT&T's store hours (and I hear the waiting is worse at our local Apple store). My gripe is that it doesn't seem in any way logical, regardless of the amount of preorders or not (either stop the preorders earlier, or honor your mistake). It essentially defeats the entire purpose of a preorder.
Then again, Apple pretty much always has supply issues with one of their products at least once every other year so it's not all that surprising either (I think the anticipation is what's getting to me since my current phone is broken).

I was completely prepared to live with my broken 3G for the next several months (been busted for about 4 months now), but then my wife ordered me the 4 for father's day (she's actually angrier than I am about the ship date now knowing she could have waited for a few hours to get one instead).
Now that I know it's coming, the flaws of my 3G are all the more glaring and upsetting.

    Dear Customer Service Team,
    I bought a twelve-month Dreamweaver CC program with monthly payment that I have paid via bank transfer and there would be a question about the activation. How could I get the license key with which I can activate my account? I can not find it and now I only have access to the trial version.
    Thank you for your help in advance.

  • Question about the programming of a legend

    Hello everybody,
    I have a question about the programming of a waveform's legend. I
    already asked here in this forum about the legend programming (03)
    months ago.
    I went satisfied but I ve just noticed that this code
    (See Code old_legend_test.llb with main.vi as main function) operates a
    little different from my expectances.
    Therefore I have a new question and I want to know if it
    is possible by labview programming to plot and show, on a waveform
    chart, a signal with activ plot superior to zero (0) without to be
    obliged to plot and show a signal with activ plot equal to zero (0) or
    inferior to the desired activ plot.
    I give you an example
    of what I m meaning. I have by example 4 signals (Signal 0, 1, 2 and 3)
    and each signal corresponds respectively to a channel (Chan1, Chan2,
    Chan3, Chan4). I want to control the legend (activ plot, plot name and
    plot color) programmatically. Is it possible with labview to plot signal
    1 or 2 or 3 or (1, 3) or (2,3) or (1,2,3) or other possible combination
    without to active the signal with the corresponding activ plot zero
    (0)?
    Let see the labview attached data
    (new_legend_test.llb with main.vi as main function). When I try to
    control the input selected values again I get them back but I don't
    understand why they have no effect on the legend of my waveform chart.
    Could somebody explain me what I m doing wrong or show me how to get a
    correct legend with desired plots? Thank by advance for your assistance.
    N.B.
    The
    both attached data are saved with labview 2009.
    Sincerly,PrinceJack

    Hi
    princejack,
    Thanks for
    posting on National Instruments forum.
    The behavior
    you have is completely normal. You can control the number of row displayed in
    the legend and this rows are linked to the data you send to your graph. Thus,
    if you have 3 arrays of data, let say chan1, chan2 and chan3, you can choose
    which data you want to display in your graph using the property node (Active
    plot and visible). But for the legend as you send 3 plots there is an array of
    the plot name [chan1, chan2, chan3] and you can display 0, 1, 2 or 3 rows of
    this array but you cannot control the order in this array! So, to be able to
    change this array you have to only send data you need to you graph. I'm not
    sure my explanations are clear so I have implemented a simple example doing
    that.

  • I want to question about the official service at the service center of Sony.

    I want to question about the official service at the service center of Sony.
    long since I like the models and items sony. from start playstation, cameras, camcorders up, I've ever had. and a new camera that I bought two years ie compact cameras Sony Cybershot DSC H200. as of a month ago, a camera was having problems in lenses that would not close. and setting the automatic mode to move by itself. I came to the Sony Service Center in Makassar, precisely on Jl. Shop Pengayomann A5 / 05 (0411) 442340.
    operator initially said only two weeks to work on my camera. but this week has been more dau even want to go in a month tomorrow, dated July 9, no news from the service center. and I kept the call to the office service. as well as assorted reasons. there are no spare parts or technical constraints, and the last one I call to his office, he said the factory spare part is damaged. imported directly from Singapore. I think, ko new spare part it can be damaged before using that? how the quality of this Sony spare part? ugly? not good? why?
    I was disappointed with this situation, where soon it will Eid, want to return home as well to Java. but the camera has not been settled workmanship?
    nah, roughly what is the solution of the Sony plagued with this problem? please help, because he did not know to whom to complain. operator had just said: it's up to the father alone.
    once again I asked for his help. solution. if you can before Eid arrived.
    Thank you,
    AD. Rusmianto

    Hi awwee107,

    Qearl

    Hi ,
    No data will be lost either from your Windows program files or other drives as long as it is an upgrade.
    After upgrade you will still be able to see your old program files under windows.ol folder in the C: Drive of the new OS.
    The data will be lost only when you perform a clean install like complete formatting the HArd disk and installing from scratch.
    As mentioned it always good to maintain a backup preferable important files in a skydrive as there is a good chance of external drives crashing.

  • This is a two part question about the creative 16gb Zen?

    8This is a two part question about the creative 6gb Zen? First of all, my battery life dropped very suddenly. One charge I was getting the full 30 hour battery life and the next it dropped to under ten. I tried using their tips on how to extend the battery life and I am still getting less than 0 hours of battery life. Why would it dropped more than half the amount between charges? I tried recharging it after it ran out and still the same thing. Any help?
    Second, (I am adding this question because it might relate to the first in some way) my mp3 player has been behaving strangely lately. For example, some artists sometimes have letters removed or all but the first end up being removed. But, if you reset the player, the artists go back to the full name. Also, my player has been taking a little longer than usual to turn on. It takes about 30 seconds to turn on instead of the 5-0 that I'm used to. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
    My Zen is only 4 months old, and I would be very upset it it's breaking already. Please, if you have any suggestions on how I can fix what's happening, post them. (Even if they?probably won't work, they're worth a try.)

    < This is an unusual one; never heard of it before. All I can suggest is cleaning up and perhaps reflashing the firmware. If it still is doing this, then get the thing exchanged pronto.
    My guess is that the problems are indeed closely related.

  • SUP - 2 questions about the CDB (cache database)

    Hi,
    I have 2 questions about the cache database and the cache groups:
    1 - How does the "On demand" cache group policy exactly works? I know that online cache group is without storing any data on the CDB making direct requests to de backend from the device, the DCN is based on updating from the backend, the scheduled is based on a time period, but I don't understand how the "on demand" exactly works, and why it has a time period too.
    2 - Is it possible to query the cache database table to check the data that SUP has stored? How can I do this?
    Thank you!

    I posted a similar question in SUP Apps project not too long ago and  Paul Horan provided this useful reply:
    Create a "Sybase ASA v12.x for Unwired Server" connection profile in the Enterprise Explorer.  I named mine CDB.
    : Host = localhost (or whatever the machine name is)
    : Port = 5200
    : Database name = "default"
    : User Name = "dba"
    : Password = "sql"
    Obviously, change the userid/password to match, if you changed them during install time.
    Connect, and you'll see the "default" database displayed.
    Navigate down through the Tables folder, and the first subfolder is labeled something like [#should_delete_sk ...]  Start there.
    You'll see a bunch of tables with the naming convention "D1" + package name + package version + MBO name.  These are the cache tables for the MBOs.

  • Question about the function module (RFC_READ_TABLE)

    Dear everyone
    Could I ask you a question about the function module (RFC_READ_TABLE)?
    I was asked if it's possible to create a report which compares the data between different SAP systems (both production systems).
    Now, the easiest way would be to use the function module (RFC_READ_TABLE) within a SAP infoset query (SQ01 type query).
    But I heard the rumor that using the function module (RFC_READ_TABLE) is not advisable due to the security reason.
    However, I am not exactly sure what sort of security problems this function module can possibly have...
    Would you help me on this?
    I also would like to know if using "remote enabled module" type function module can always overcome this possible security issue.
    Or, are there any points that I need to be careful about even when I use "remote enabled module" function module?
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Takashi

    Dear Fred-san
    Thank you very much for your support on this.
    But, may I double check about what you mentioned above?
    So, what you were mentioning was that if some user executes the query with
    the function module (RFC_READ_TABLE), under the following conditions, he can access to
    the HR data even when he does not have the authorizations for HR transactions?
    <Conditions>
    1. the user has the authorization for HR database tables themselves
    2. RFC_READ_TABLE is called to retrieve the data from HR database
    <example>
    Data: LF_HR_TABLE like  DD02L-TABNAME value 'PA0000'.
    CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_READ_TABLE'
       EXPORTING
        query_table                = LF_HR_TABLE
      TABLES
       OPTIONS                    =
       fields                     =
       data                       =    .
    But then, as long as we call this function module for a non-critical tables such as
    VBAP (sales order) or EKKO (purchase order) within our query, it wouldn't seem to be
    so security risk to use RFC_READ_TABLE...
    Besides, each query (infoset query) has got the concept of user groups, which limits
    the access to the queries within the user group.
    ※If someone does not belong to the user group, he cannot execute the queries within that
       user group, etc
    So, my feeling is that even infoset queries does have authorization concept...
    Would you give me your thought on this?
    I also thank you for your information for SCU0.
    That is an interesting transaction
    Kind regards,
    Takashi

  • Questions about the stereo jack p

    Hi everyone,
    I , citizen of the Netherlands,Europe, have some questions about the well known problem stereo jack defect.
    - What is the warranty-period of the Zen Micro , in case my stereo jack will fall out?
    - How to get a RMA and how long will this take to get it done and sent... will it cost me a bomb (sent and repair costs)?
    - Do you get a NEW one back or do they repair the old one for you? As far as i can read it here the chance is big a NEW one will get the same problems one day.. ;P
    By the way, it suprises me that the company is still producing these "wrong" micro's, this problem is known for months!Wouldn't it be cheaper for them to just produce the right ones immediatly instead of repairing them?
    Hope anyone can help me out
    Thanks in advance
    A owner of a Zen Micro White and afraid to get the stereo jack problem one day :P

    Thanks SSR for your reply.
    I was wondering how serious the jack problem actually is... according to the posts here it seems very common to have these problems. But this can be misrepresented because this is maybe just the tip of the iceberg.
    Maybe are there anyone who have the Zen Micro for at least 6 months and WITHOUT any problems?
    thx

  • Some questions about the integration between BIEE and EBS

    Hi, dear,
    I'm a new bie of BIEE. In these days, have a look about BIEE architecture and the BIEE components. In the next project, there are some work about BIEE development based on EBS application. I have some questions about the integration :
    1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?
    2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?
    3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?
    4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?
    could anyone give some guide for me? I'm very appreciated if you can also give any other information.
    Thanks in advance.

    1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?You, shud consider OBI Application here which uses OBIEE as a reporting tool with different pre-built modules. Both 10g & 11g comes with different versions of BI apps which supports sources like Siebel CRM, EBS, Peoplesoft, JD Edwards etc..
    2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?Its independent of any soure. This is OBIEE modeling to create RPD with all the layers. If you build it from scratch then you will require to create all the layers else if BI Apps is used then you will get pre-built RPD along with other pre-built components.
    3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?BI apps comes with pre-built ETL mapping to use with the tools majorly with Informatica. Only BI Apps 7.9.5.2 comes with ODI but oracle has plans to have only ODI for any further releases.
    4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?User will still see old data because its good to turn on Cache and purge it after every load.

    Only reminders with dates appear in the notification center - undated ones don't. Once an email has been read, it is removed from the notification center. Apple has a feedback center where you can offer suggestions.

  • Two or more productid will be accquired by same customerid, by same shipvia, on the same day of the week of shipped date. i want the simple query for this.

    consider this situation,
     Two or more productid will be accquired by same customerid, by same shipvia, on the same  day of the week of shipped date. i want the simple query for this.
    my tables are  from northwind:
    [orders] = OrderID, CustomerID, EmployeeID, OrderDate, RequiredDate, ShippedDate, ShipVia, Freight, ShipName, ShipAddress, ShipCity, ShipRegion, ShipPostalCode, ShipCountry.
    [orders details] = OrderID, ProductID, UnitPrice, Quantity, Discount.

    Hi,
    I think I have a solution that will at least give you a clue how to go about it. I have simplified the tables you mentioned and created them as temporary tables on my side, with some fake data to test with. I have incldued the generation of these temporary
    tables for your review.
    In my example I have included:
    1. A customer which has purchased the same product on the same day, using the same ship 3 times,
    2. Another example the same as the first but the third purchase was on a different day
    3. Another example the same as the first but the third purchase was a different product
    4. Another example the same as the first but the third purchase was using a different "ShipVia".
    You should be able to see that by grouping on all of the columns that you wich to return, you should not need to perform any subselects.
    Please let me know if I have missed any requirements.
    Hope this helps:

  • Question about the new Yoga 10 HD+

    Hi
    A few questions about the new Yoga 10 HD+ which I hope you can answer.
    I bought the old model last year. Loved the design and long battery time but a few major issues made me return it.
    Somewhere I read that it can't read NTFS over USB so I presume that's the same with an NTFS formatted microSD card?
    Can it read exFAT formatted microSD cards?
    Anyone observed issues regarding audio over bluetooth?
    (I know BT isn't exactly High End HiFi but the old Yoga 10 for some odd reason - most likely a driver issue which nobody cared to fix - sounded *much* worse with quite noticeably distortion while both my phone and a cheap noname tablet I have zero fidelity issues - no matter which of my bluetooth audio devices I tried aptX or not)
    So to avoid buying this only to return it too I really would like to see if I can have my questions answered before buying it.
    While I love the form factor and long running time the above issues are just two mayor dealbreakers to me. Bad audio quality = no joy listening to spotify, local MP3s etc. No NTFS or exFAT = no large movies.
    My old noname android tablet really could use an upgrade so I'm really curious whether this can be it or I should look at the competition and sacrify form factor and battery runtime.
    Thanks in advance.
    EDIT:
    If it's not supporting either NTFS or exFAT on the microSD have anyone tried ext3 and/or ext4?
    I mean with Androids Linux roots it should be a nobrainer to support at least when it comes to royalties unlike NTFS or exFAT where there *might* be some issues with Microsoft.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks!
    OK. Seems I should just stay clear of this and look elsewhere
    Sony for sure I know support exFAT. I'm usure about Samsung. Odd it seems so hard to find out. File sizes of +4 GB should be taken for granted - it's not 199x anymore...
    Oh well. Wonder whether to just go for one from the competition or perhaps just save the money and wait until 64 bit catches on. Rumors is that the next Nexus 8 will be 64 bit... (I really don't expect an answer on this)

  • Short question about the nano controls

    Hi. I'm probably going to buy a 4Gb nano today, but first I'd like to ask a short question about the << >> buttons on the click wheel.
    I read in a forum that the << & >> buttons are actually 'skip' buttons (only used to play the previous or next song respectively), and that it's impossible to rewind or fast-forward within the track you're listening to. This is extremely important for me as I have several 2-3 hours mp3, and I need to be able to access different parts of the file quickly (eg. not having to actually wait 1 hour to listen to my favorite part). I found this to be an important feature, and I can't believe Apple hasn't thought about it.
    Anyway, I've never used an iPod, that's why this question may sound plain stupid.
    Thanks for you replies!

    The iPod fast charges to about 80% and then trickle charges the rest of the way to prevent damaging the battery/iPod. A full charge takes more than an hour or two though the battery indicator will show full. The best way to tell if a full charge has occurred is to unmount the iPod from the computer but keep it connected. The screen will show an animation of a battery. When the animation stops the battery is fully charged.
    Also, as your battery discharges the indicator will eventually show red indicating the battery is about to run out...in an hour or two. After you've owned your iPod for a couple months you'll figure out how much time you have left when the indicator turns red - it depends on a number of factors including play volume, equalizer use, etc. In real world use I'm getting over 11 hours.
    The headphones are...average. If they didn't hurt my ears I'd find them acceptable for my pop music but not so acceptable for acoustic and symphonic nor music with booming bass - because they don't boom the bass.
    I encode the majority of my music at 256 AAC and I've noticed no distortion caused by the EQ. This, plus your complaint about the earphones, leads me to think perhaps you got a bum set of phones. Borrow a pair from someone else and see what happens.
