About extra "Profile" info...

...continued from the discussion in the "Spam" thread after John C added the "URL", "Bio" and "Products/SysInfo" fields, here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1930765#1930765
"Edit Profile should now show places for a URL, a brief (1 line or so) bio, and a list of products you use."
I know what follows is merely an academic observation, but it's still kind of indicative of the attention to detail paid by the Jive programmers. Thi post is meant to act as a heads-up for users editing their profiles, and as something that should be passed along to our good pals on the Jive team.
I was concerned about the "...brief (1 line or so)..." limit for the "Bio" field. I wanted to test the character limit. I entered the following string, but WITHOUT the spaces (for a total of 521 characters):
a123456789 b1234567890 c123456789 d123456789 e123456789 f123456789 g123456789 h123456789 i123456789 j123456789 k123456789 l123456789 m123456789 n123456789 o123456789 p123456789 q123456789 r123456789 s123456789 t123456789 u123456789 v123456789 w123456789 x123456789 y123456789 z123456789 A123456789 B123456789 C123456789 D123456789 E123456789 F123456789 G123456789 H123456789 I123456789 J123456789 K123456789 L123456789 M123456789 N123456789 O123456789 P123456789 Q123456789 R123456789 S123456789 T123456789 U123456789 V123456789 W123456789 X123456789 Y123456789 Z123456789
This is what appeared when after I saved my profiles prefs. All characters were present, but they extended far beyond the area meant to contain the Bio:
Then, I replaced the non-breaking string with the set of characters pasted in bold, above. This is a total of 572 characters. This is how it appears after saving my Profile preferences:
It's good to know that Bio information doesn't need to be limited to "...1 line or so...". I haven't tested to see what the upper-character limit is for the "Bio" field (I'm sure there is one), but it seems to me that 572+ should suffice, at least for most people.

Of course! And it's stuff like this that keeps leaving my to scratch my head in confusion and disbelief.
What I can't figure (this time around) is this:
In what world of UI design does it make sense to provide a text-input field only 1 line high (and, what, maybe 30 characters wide?) when...(a) The info displayed will possibly cover more than 1 line height's worth of text, and ...(b) There's plenty of room in the Profile Prefs editing area to make that text-input field larger?
I don't know who is responsible for it, so I won't (and don't want to...) point any fingers and make fun of poor design decisions (for the 20th time).And I kind of hope whoever IS responsible won't embarrass themselves by claiming responsibility.
But, COME ON! WTF ARE YOU THINKING!?!?

Quick way to restore preferences and profile info?

hi,
i was messing around with the profile info when i probably shouldn't have, and threw stuff in the trash i probably shouldn't have. i did this because i was confused as to why i had to profiles in my users folder. so wanted to get rid of it, i don't know why.
can you help me fix what i screwed up?
all my preferences are back to defaults. mail.app is missing my accounts and thinks its the first time I've used it, same thing with itunes, and ableton live, also firefox too, address book and ical.
also, my deleting that extra profile because it "didn't look good", has just gone and made another profile. which has a lot of .plist files in it?
thanks,

Good!
just not the profile. is there anyway i can get that back without having to reenter data for mail.app and itunes?
If you put it in the trash and then emptied the trash, your best hope of recovery is to quit using the drive and see if Data Rescue or File Salvage (I think that's the name) can recover the data. Data Rescue has a demo mode so you can see what it could recover and decide if it is worth the cost to you. I don't know about File Salvage but I've seen it mentioned occasionally as an alternative. If you used a secure erase option or have such an option enabled, don't bother as the chances these utilities can help are negligible. Beyond these options, you are talking about sophisticated data recovery services with equally sophisticated price lists.
I'm sorry not to be able to offer something more positive but unfortunately there is no unempty-trash-and-undelete-contents option. Give Data Rescue a shot (I think it is Data Rescue II now). I haven't used it but I've heard very good things about it. You need a separate drive to recover the data to and you will get the best results if you use the machine (or, rather, the internal drive) as little as possible. Unfortunately, restarting will not have helped but at least Data Rescue's demo lets you see what's still there so you can decide if it is worth the price.
There may be other data recovery utilities around which you could look at but - short of a specialised service - some such utility is your best hope at this point.
Alternatively, you may wish to chalk this up to experience and move on.
If you don't trust your install of OS X, I'd recommend taking this opportunity to reinstall yourself. Depending on how your system is configured and your preferences, either archive & install or erase & install. If you choose a & i, though, don't choose to preserve users since your only user account is essentially dead anyway. Doing this may be more work, but it is much better to have a system you trust. I'm not entirely clear what has gone wrong with your installations (other than deleting your home directory, of course), but starting over will give you a fresh start and a known-good system.

If you're talking about the "short list" then click on other and then uncheck the ones that you don't want displayed. If you're talking about the long list, then you will have to browse to the folder containing the profiles and then delete them manually.

My iphone 4s has the connect to itunes screen. I have tried to reset, recover, etc but I keep getting and error-51 message. Any ideas how I can get my phone working again? I am not worried about saving any info just having a phone to use!

I was in the middle of the iOS 8 update and tried to turn my phone off (yes, I realize this was dumb) But what happened was it tried to reset. Now, my iphone 4s has the connect to itunes screen. I have tried to reset, recover, etc but I keep getting and error -51 message. Any ideas how I can get my phone working again? I am not worried about saving any info just having a phone to use!

Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

I have a recently acquired iPhone 4. Is it true if I am using PhotoStream to upload photos to my PC via iCloud, photos are only pushed when wifi is available? This means I don't have to worry about extra data usage, right? Thank you.

Thank you.

Correct.
On an iOS device, new photos you take will be automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. Note: My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.

Page not found error while providing extra path info

          when I provide extra path info. I want to getPathInfo from the request. This
          works on JRun. The servlet mapping is the same. Can someone help me with this?
          An example of the servlet mapping is given below.

OAS 4.0.8.1 JServlet: Extra path info not implemented?

Didn't Oracle implement extra path info for servlets? According to the Java Servlets spec it should be possible to invoke a servlet with a URL like http://host/servlets/MyServlet/index.html where /index.html would be accessible through the getPathInfo() method of the servlet and the translated path would be accessible through the getPathTranslated() method.
Trying the sample servlet SnoopServlet delivered with OAS 4.0.8.1 through http://host/servlets/SnoopServlet/index.html OAS tries to load a class called ...\SnoopServlet\index\html and throws a ClassNotFoundException (naturally).
Is this a bug or didn't Oracle implement extra path info?
Thanks.

I posted the same question some time ago but I didn't get an answer. BTW Oracle JServlet Cartridge documentation states that extra path is accessible through the getPathInfo(). Here is excerpt from the Invoking JServlet cartridges document:
To invoke a JServlet cartridge, the URL must be in the following format:
http://hostname[ ort]/virtual_path/java_class_name[path_info][?QUERY_STRING]
where:
hostname specifies the machine where the application server is running.
port specifies the port at which the application server is listening. If omitted, port 80 is assumed.
virtual_path specifies a virtual path mapped to the JServlet cartridge.
java_class_name specifies the Java class to run. This class must contain an entry point method. If a query string is included in the URL then there must be a doGet() method.
path_info provides additional path information for the servlet. The path can be accessed from the servlet using the HttpServletRequest.getPathInfo() method.
QUERY_STRING specifies parameters (if any) for the Java class. The string follows the format of the GET method. For example, multiple parameters are separated with the & character and spaces are replaced with the + character. If you use HTML forms to generate the string (as opposed to generating the string yourself), the formatting is done automatically for you.
But I couldn't make it work as described in documentation.

What happened to my "rank" and or "custom avatar, profile info, etc....

At some point in the past... right around the time this board got it's new facelift, my "rank" went away... my post count was demolished (had well over 400) and a lot of my profile info disappeared as my custom Avatar i loaded to it.
what gives?
Beavis2084

Beavis,
Your post count, as well as your level status, is still on record somewhere.
The new Discussions software is just not able to display it at this time.
The number of posts you have showing in your profile, is indicative of your posts currently online.
The new system doesn't have the custom avatar capability. No one can use them at this time.
These issues are being dealt with by the Hosts and Sysops.
At this time, no one knows when and if they will be resolved.
The Search function still is operational.
I did a search using the terms post count level avatar, which produced 34 pages of results.
Here is the first hit Posting count.

Why can't I find the color profile info in the library ?

Why can’t I find the color profile info in the library ?
It’s sometimes necessary to convert to sRGB for some applications ( internet, some beamers in clubs,…).
I convert them but afterwards it is nice to have the possibility to check this out and should be possible in lightroom, the info is present why not showing it ( it is not so easy to go in finder and look at it in info for every image)?
Since I’m always working in Adobe profile for printing and so this is important to know !
But no trace of it anywhere….
Thx for any reply.

The disconnect here is many (including me) don't reimport rendered JPEGs
into our Lightroom Catalogs. Why you are doing that is beyond me. You
have the original and can recreate any rendered file at any time.
Storing the derivative JPEGs is redundant, creates additional confusion
and serves little real purpose. Exported versions are considered
discarable by many.
Yes, understand what you're meaning. but the fact is that I started rather recently with lightroom. So my images where classified in directory's and subdirectory's...already.
I think that this is the major problem. This is always a problem when you step in a new system.
Let's say I am going to submit to a photographic society, I have an Export
preset created that exports to proper size and color space for
projection. It creates a file. I send it to the club. Then I delete it.
Why save it? I can recreate it. Then I don't have to manage it, search
for it, or worse yet, risk confusion with my original file or othe
resultant derivatives.
The fact that I like to keep them is
indeed an inborn result of the "pré-lightroom period". A bad habitude
indeed. I'm thinking now of deleting them, will maybe better. On the other side
I still have them just for me in order to know which ones I used and when.
Another bad habitude.
But
since I'm not a professional photographer I'm mostly confronted with the time
issue and it is for me easier to take existing files ready for use...
( doesn't mean you’re not confronted
with this problem
Today place for jpeg's is rather easy since the Gb's are almost free...
Same is true of a client photo. They want an 8x10. I go to the retouched
original, create a JPEG from an 8x10 preset in the proper dimensions and color space. Send it to the lab. Then, I can delete it.
One of the strengths of Lightroom is that it creates many fewer
intermediate file versions along the way toward final creation. Another
strength is that you can save (via snapshots in Develop) your
derivatives, export, and discard them without having to create, import
and manage additional files on disk. In the old days of just Photoshop
you might end up with a dozen or more files on your disk for every
worked file. With Lightroom, you only need one or two.
Will look deeper in your proposed workflow...and yes I'm comming from the old days.
That said, if you want to keep the derivatives for purposes down the road,
that is up to you but I don't understand why they need to be inserted
into your catalog.
Since my catalog is made in the time
from before lightroom I’m still having all these directory's and
subdirectory's...
Easier
for me since even with back-ups of the catalogue still afraid for crashes. And
I keep liking these directory structure because for the moment it's lighrtroom
and tomorrow it can be another program, you never know. It's like a website, "on line versoin only", big problem when a firm at some moment stop to provide this possibility.
I think I will try to go deeper in "how to use lightroom better..."
thanks

Riparazione iPod nano, l'apple 800554533 they asked about my visa info for a 200euro hold untill I receive the new nano

I calld the 800554533 from italy for a dead pixel on my new iPod nano and at the end of the information given for da pickup they asked about my visa info for a 200euro hold untill I get my new iPod, is it normal?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Yes, there are several options when you want to clean the iPod nano. There is what you mentioned along with...
iCleaner
Ice Creme
As for the hold switch, that is a problem that exchanging your ipod nano where you bought it from or sending the iPod to apple for service would fix. You would either get a new, fixed, or refurbished iPod. It is your choice as to if you want service or to just live with the hold switch.
