ADDT DOCUMENTATION - Or the lack thereof !

Have just installed DWCS3 + ADDT. Wanted to read up on Nextensio only to find that there is no doco on this. Here is what I did:
Opened up the Create Dynamic Lists (used to be called Nextensio Lists) wizard and clicked on the Help button. This takes me to an Adobe website and provides the informative message of:
Not Found
The requested URL /en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0_ADDT/MXK3_045310_NeXTensio_List_Wz.htm was not found on this server.
So I am wondering if the current distribution of ADDT is "pre release" since there is no Help button on the toolbar anymore.
Some advice from Adobe on this would be nice as the Help available is pretty sparse compared to the Help available for Kollection Pro. Quite dissapointing in fact. As a result, I have to keep closing down DW CS3/ADDT and open up DW 8 / Kollection Pro. All because of a minor bug in Kollection Pro which I came across 3 days ago. That bug forced me to insall DW CS3 and ADDT and waste time on what was a tight project. Not happy Adobe !

Hi Gunther
Thanks for the reply and your hint on finding the help. Yes I eventually found it but my main gripe back then in May was that it was incomplete when I clicked on the help button in one of the ADDT Server behaviour wizards ( I was taken to a Page Not Found error ) and was not available from the DW Help dropdown list under the main menu Help button.
Yes, I could understand what you were getting at and I will be applying your Spry/PHP article in my next project - just wish I had come across it a bit earlier as I could have used it in the current project which includes hundreds of images from a number of different categories. Thanks again.
I understand that there are differences between the old Kollection and ADDT however, the fact that no attempt was made, nor has there been made as yet, to prepare or update the old tutorials for ADDT. This is a significant failure as the How To's were a godsend to me and I will bet London to a Brick, many more who purchased the old Interakt products. They must have saved me hours upon hours and also gave me an insight into using the advanced features of the product which allowed me to take full advantage of what the product offers. What this failure by Adobe means is that people who are coming to the ADDT for the first time and have not had the benefit of the tutorials included in previous versions will face an uphill battle coming to terms with what they have purchased which in turn may de-value ADDT. This failure I believe is also repeated in DW CS3 as appears not to include the tutorial material included in previous versions. For example, where are the Tutorials for CS3 ?? They are no longer included in the Getting Started section of Help as was the case with previous versions and the novice is instead referred to the lightweight trivial examples in the video workshop. So, if you and I have any influence over Adobe then perhaps they will take some notice of my rant and pick up their act. Lets face it, they are making heaps and can surely afford to invest in quality tutorials for their product especially one such as ADDT.
Best regards,

Dolby Digital 5.1.. Or The Lack Thereof

So im wondering why with all the fanfare from BT, why the lack of 5.1 surround sound?!
Great HD PQ (On Sky, can't comment for other providers) yet bog-standard 2.0 stereo... WHY?

P13,
Is there any media provider in the UK that supports an app with 5.1 surround sound? Sky Go does not nor does bbc iplayer, netflix or blinkbox
sky twitter account a customer ask why sky go streams are worst then sd and yet bt and eurosports apps stream in hd. Reply from mod, oh thats easy the files for hd are some huge that sky go can't play them and no app can stream hd due to this and so when they say they are they're really sd streams, if there was any way around this we would have done it now.

HT201413 Why does Data Execution Protection or lack thereof keep shutting down iTunes

Why does Data Execution Protection or lack thereof keep shutting down iTunes?

Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call? You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

Sap Documentation and the Spirit of Open Source

Hi,
I have noticed that not all of SAP functions have documentation (for example in SAP CRM there are around 80.000 functions and many of them, I dare say most of them, have no documentation and I suppose this is the situation for all SAP solutions).
I spoke to someone from SAP and I was told that not all of them need to, as they are not supposed to be used by clients. I agree with this and moreover it would be a tedious process for SAP to do it now. But sometimes need arises to use this functions or at least know what they do.
And the standard search for Functions .....
One enters "dialog popup" in Short description and he gets nothing (in SAP CRM 3.1 SP06).
She/he has to enter "dialog Popup" and thus gets the function POPUP_TO_CONFIRM
It is LUDICROUS ! Need no say more !
I do have an idea, SAP community could help out.
If all the functions would be shared among the SAP developers from all over the world I mean those who would like to participate in this project - all functions will have documentation in less than 1 year.
Let's take as example - PHP:
Every function is documented and an example is given.
Also, developers from all over the world add their own comments for each function.
There is a .chm help file very easy to search
Plan:
There would be one main writer and one main reviewer for a function (I mean one could choose to do 100 functions, other 50, other 30, and so on).
Also, who wants could add his/hers comments.
Objective:
To have a documentation (.chm file) as comprehensive as possible about all the functions in SAP.
Is this plan feasible ? Are there any volunteers ?
Mihai

I can agree on some points but not others. First, let's agree that dialog popup and popup dialog are two different search strings. In SQL, this would produce "WHERE description like "%dialog popup%" which is clearly not equivalent to "%popup dialog%". However, I feel your pain. While the level of function docs is disappointing, how wonderful that we even have access to them at all! One of the best parts of SAP is the fact that I don't have to guess "how that works". I can go look and learn from the master code ... albeit slowly.
My understanding of German is non-existent. Therefore, much of the comments that are available in the functions are lost on me. That's a shame. I would like to see an effort to get readable English comments out of these valuable German comments. That' would take a native speaker's translation vs. a babelfish-like systran. They just don't cut it.
Docs: The level of SAP documentation in general, even for BAPIs, is appalling. Maybe I just don't know where it is but from what I've seen, even the most complex BAPI docs are not worth the space they take up.
Case in point: BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2. This is a rather complex BAPI which can create all manner of sales documents. So let's say I want to build a configured sales order. Let's hit the BAPI documentation:
<i>If the item is configurable, you need to enter the configuration data in the ORDER_CFGS_REF, ORDER_CFGS_INST, ORDER_CFGS_PART_OF and ORDER_CFGS_VALUE tables.</i>
That's it. There might be a few more hints down the page but there are no examples, no "here's why you need to stick an A in field XYZ", etc. This is why I rely on reading code and trying to gets hints from poorly translated German comments. I generally get an answer but what a time waster that is! If SAP is claiming that they don't document all functions because they are not "supposed to be used by clients", then how about fully documenting the BAPIs at least? Those certainly ARE for use by clients. That's their main purpose.
As a concept, I agree with you. How to pull that off? Personally, I wouldn't feel comfortable documenting any function that I've not had 1st hand experience with. Even still, I've only used about 20% of the sales order BAPI's capability. While that's 18% better than what SAP gives, I'm not sure I would be willing to take the time to document it given that I'm stretched to the max, in part, due to the lack of function docs! Catch-22.
Good luck with the idea. I'd like to see what other people's comments are. I'm hoping that I'm missing some key documentation resources. If nothing else comes from this thread, that would be great.
Maybe the SDN would provide a place/forum to store documentation that is created? Not a forum ... more like SAP notes (which can be a helpful source of docs sometimes BTW).
Thanks.

Will there be a fix for Firefox's problems with Hotmail. I have gone back to 3.5.9 but mostly I am disappointed by the lack of action on this serious problem where a major and critical feature of a major international website is unavailable in the Firefox browser.

http://www.hotmail.com

We've reached out to the Hotmail team and they've determined that this is a bug in their code. (It was masked by a timing issue in 3.5 that was fixed in 3.6.) We've worked with them to develop a fix but they may not have deployed it yet.

The lack of details and customer service.

After less than one month of ownership, my Ideapad K1 power button broke. After talking to a customer service rep (K). She informed me it will have to be returned to Lenovo for repair, which will take about 7 to 10 business days from time of delivery. I asked to speak to a supervisor at which point she puts me on hold and then comes back on the line to tell me the supervisor stated the same thing. At no point did I ask her to confirm this with the supervisor. I asked again to speak to her supervisor, to which she puts me on hold again. The supervisor (R) comes on the line to tell me that the Ideapad K1 will have to be returned for repair. He then transfers me back to K to finalize the return, to which she now informs me I will have to pay for shipping. This is very poor customer service in my view. I will never buy another Lenovo product as long as I live and would advise every one I meet not to buy one either. I was looking at their high end laptops for my corporate deployment, its a shame. Maybe I will be going with DELL as they will send a Tech to my house to perform repairs. I do hope that all customer calls are recorded as I believe someone needs to listen to the lack of professionalism and customer service that both K and R display.

Hi i had the excact same thing i got the k1 for christmas and now its january and the power button doesnt work ..i never dropped it always put it in its case and there is not a dam scratch on the thing least they could do is pay for shipping there defective product back to them so it can be fixed

Appalled by the lack of customer service - NEW PHONE is DEFECTIVE

I was leaving for California at the end of July and needed a battery for my Galaxy Note 2. There were none to be found. Verizon agreed to allow me early upgrade to the Galaxy Note 3. After daily phone conversations with customer service, I finally got my phone 4 days after it was to be shipped next day air. I had to pay $75 California tax and a $15 next day fee. I live in Massachusetts and although we are known as "Taxachusetts" - it would not have been that much if sent to my home. Needless to say, I get the phone and it is unable to hold a charge (not being used) for more than 8 hours. I called customer service at least 10 times for a matter of at least 8 hours and have no resolution. I cannot get a new phone because I am beyond the 2 week deadline - "Really?" at that point I had the phone for 3 1/2 weeks. I have a phone bill sitting on my table for $418.00 (to include equipment) - I will not pay for this phone until they send me a new one. I do not think that is unreasonable, yet, each of the 10 customer service and supervisors I spoke with told me that is not possible - no one could do that for me...Look, all I want is a phone that works and VERIZON WILL NOT ASSIST ME WITH THIS SITUATION!!! I have been a customer for a long time and am absolutely appalled by the lack of customer service!!! I am asking those on here for help. What carrier should I move to? Evidently Verizon does not need my service - and I am happy to share with my "Friends and Family" what a deceptive company this is. So what do you all suggest?

It's as my original messages states. After taking the iPhone5 to a verizon store and being told is was a known defect with the screen, we sent the phone back and received a refurbished phone. After weeks, we were sent an email with a picture imbedded that would not display. It stated the phone had internal damage. We certainly would not have returned the phone had we not been instructed to do so by Verizon or if it was damaged. We requested to send the refurbished IPhone back - we would have rather paid for a brand new phone than $300 for a refurbished one. We were told we could not. Beyond this - the support was unreal. The first person we spoke stated there was zero record of our original call to support to return the phone although our detailed calling bill showed a 35 min call. Three calls later and no one was able to show us the damange, prove it was our phone, etc. I'm not convinced this isnt some sham to get more money to be honest. We've been with you for 10 years. I do not want to pay for a refurbished phone especially when a verizon tech instructed us to send the original back due to a defect.

DISAPPOINTED AT THE LACK OF CUSTOMER SUPPORT IN TR...

Hi all,
I want to share my BT experience with you.   I have been up to now a happy BT Infitinty customer.   At the start of July I informed BT of a house move at the end of July. I happily signed for a new package, NO BRAINER as far as I'm concerned.
One specification of my order is as I was providing sufficient notice I advised them that whilst the postcode in question show's to part of a village which has Infinity, the house is isolated and presently does not have a phone line. I advised a survey to carried out to enable the engineer to carry out the necessary work when I moved in. The main reason for my request was I know it's a very poor reception area for mobile phones and presently my father is not very well and I need to be contacted. On the day of moving in the engineer turns up, and guess what the necessary requirements which I made them aware of had not been carried out.    The engineer informed my that the road required traffic lights in order for me to have an installation.    I'm sure you can imagine my disappointment, especially when I knew this would be the case.
Obviously I've spoken to numerous customer service advisors.   All giving me different reasons for the delay. The main reason is for traffic management to get authorisastion off Flintshire County Council for permsission to put traffic lights up.   So, I phone up Flintshire County Council, and I must confess the lady was MOST helpful. She informed me that NO application has been made for my house/postcode/road. This, has tipped me over the edge.   I asked, if Bt had applied how long would it take for approval for them to carry out the necessary. Her reply, 24 hours.
I've now spoken to 4 different people over last 2 days. Obviously highlighting what the Council have informed me.   Presently, I've been informed that my NEXT UPDATE (NOT INSTALLATION) is now the 20th August.
I've never had such poor customer service, from what I thought was a world leader in Telecommunications. I find the who experience shocking. And more importantly I'm still in a position where I'm concerned about my Father and been kept in touch.
I, myself work for a BIG European Car Manfucaturer. If I had treated anyone my customers in the way I've been treated I would have been sacked.
All I want is to speak to someone in authority and I want a definitve date to when it WILL be done.   What I dont want is to be lied to and passed around from pillar to post.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I agree in the lack of support and not only its that the lack of knowledge within the stupid call centres.
it has been the most frustrating thing ever to try and explain to these idiots whats going on when all they do is ask you to unplug your modem etc before you even have the chance to tell them anything.
I had an engineer out today he was here for three hours he fitted new equipment and left the house to go to the exchange box several times, he did everything he could and I was here when he made calls to try find out the problem. he got no joy and had to leave without setting up my broadband. I spent at least 4 to 5 hours calling B.T helplines etc only to find that they cant help in any way unless its to completely wind you up.
the engineer explained everything was fine at this end and to contact B.T. since we have no dsl light on at all yet lines are working ok. I first had to wait in a queue for 30 mins then i told the man who answered the full story that we had no problem here but no infinity and engineer had to leave without setting it up. the man started prattling on about did i have my modem plugged in and what lights were on and did I try a reset!! "HELLOOOO" once again I said the engineer just left and its set up fine and there is no dsl light!! He then asks me if my phone line is working after I already told him I was calling from house phone and its working fine.
He then tells me my infinity wouldnt be live until 12 midnight (alarm bells) this is what I had been told before and nothing happened until the following monday.
He then told me he would put me through to someone who could resolve this, I said i didnt want to spend another day of my life on hold but he said no its an internal call and i would get straight through. However another 30 mins later after being on hold someone answers and asks what the problem is. I had gone back to the same call centre i was at in the first place. I was furious.
I have spent the entire day trying to get this sorted out and all i have had is pathetic excuses and a help team that really can do nothing for anyone!! It seems they are only there to passify disgruntled customers pass you around their call centres taking the P*@$ winding you up and nothing more. If anything they make everything worse. terrible customer service and wouldnt reccomend to anyone especially if your easily stressed out.
P.S its after 12 midnight and guess what...... yep still no service what a waste of time they are

It's now over 6 weeks since I made the mistake of updating my iPad and I am furious and frustrated at the lack of a solution to the problem with ios 5 audio app missing lyrics

It’s now over 6 weeks since I made the mistake of updating my iPad and I am furious and frustrated at the lack of a solution to the problem with ios 5.
I recently updated to ios 5.1 but nothing has been done to rectify the audio app problems ie lyrics no longer shown,
I am extremely disappointed and angrywith those responsible for the iOS 5 update, in regard to the way it hasaffected the music app in my iPad.
I also own an iPhone 4, am an avid Apple fan, and up until now have beenextremely pleased with the devices, and have sung their praises to friends andassociates.
I am a professional musician, and purchased an iPad primarily to use with theperformance of my music.
The changes made to the music app affected my performances over the weekendextremely adversely – limiting my repertoire and causing confusion and delays.
I have spent many hours talking withApple helpline assistants (who, incidentally have been very good and have triedto help), and I have also spent a lot of time on this letter.
I greatly regret updating to iOS 5.
There are two major problems with the music app.
1. Lyrics no longer displayed
2. Layout, and appearance and consequently performance have seriouslyregressed.
I have a repertoire of around 500 song backing tracks, organised into about 20playlists, half of which featured lyrics / chords that I have spent monthsrecently entering into iTunes so that they could be used on my iPad.
These were working fine up until the update - now they are gone.
Previously, the app featured large icons for playlist, artists, songs etc. atbottom of page: Now there are small, grey, indistinct barely legible buttons.
Previously, when playlist icon was selected - all the playlists were listedclearly in order on the left hand side in black on white (as in iTunes).
Now they are scattered across the whole page in large squares (displayingnothing if there is no album art).
The identifying wording below eachsquare is now small, grey, indistinct & barely legible.
Previously, when a playlist was selected - the songs were displayed in adescending list in black & white: now they appear as small, grey indistinct & barely legible.
Previously, when a song was selected - it appeared filling the page, and withaudio controls clearly positioned at top of screen. One tap would bring uplyrics.
Now audio controls appear at top once again small, grey, indistinct &barely legible.
A small square representsalbum art which if tapped fills page. A further tap fails to bring up lyrics.
Don Wilson

Lyrics aren't supported in the Music app on iOS 5 on the iPad. These are user-to-user forums, they are not monitored by Apple (there are too many forums/threads/messages for that to happen). If you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

VERY DISSAPOINTED at the lack of accessori

Very, very, very dissapointed at the complete lack of accessories for the Creative line. I own a creative micro photo 8 gb which I purchased two days ago. I started out with the Sleek photo, but was very dissapointed in the sound quality. I used 4 different set's of headphones, and they all sounded like garbage. I exchanged it for the creative zen microphoto, and what a world of difference in sound quality, using those same headphones I had used before.
Now, I want to listen in my car. The creative site advertises the belkin tunecast fm transmitter. The store I bought it from had it, so i bought it too. This too, was a dissapointment, as 88. was a dead station in my area and my sirius unit broadcasts crystal clear to this station. With my sirius unit off, and unplugged, i attached the belkin tunecast to the creative and heard a lot of static and garbage. I didn't matter where I moved the tunecast and the player too, it was not clear, had a lot of static, and was again, another dissapointment.
I guess I'm done with creative. Sadly, I love the X-fi line of sound cards, as I have the the extreme music version. However, the lack of support for any sort of car dock, to hardwire the player into the stereo, or any sort of decent fm transmitter that fits on the creative player (like the i trip) is going to make me *dry heaves* buy an IPOD.
I REALLY like the player itself. I am dissapointed that none of the creative accessories (what few there are) were carried in ANY retail store. Wal-mart, Best Buy, Circuit city, none of those had ANYTHING. No cases, no speakers, nothing. Come on Creative, get it together. You came halfway and made a great player, now follow through and offer supporting accessories. -
Someone, please enlighten me as to other resources I can use to hardware my player, or at least a decent fm transmitter.

JK23 no offense, but I am not lugging around a huge set of speakers that requires AC Power. What I am referring too is a powered speaker system that has a built in dock. One simple piece of equipment that I can stick in a suit case that requires no AC power, but runs on batteries. Yeah I know about the travel speakers and I also could go out and buy a boombox that has an aux-input. But guess what JK, if I had an iPod I wouldn't have to do either of those because there are dozens of companies that make power speakers systems with a built in dock. Creative made a nice one for the Zen Micro, but you'd think with the ZV:M being their Cadillac they would have been smart enough to realize they needed to make one for it.
The fact is there is no powered speaker system with dock for the ZV:M because creative doesn't make one and apparently no one else in the industry has any incenti've to do so. I won't except excuses and I darn sure won't make any for them, nor will I suggest that someone buy something else, when clearly that isn't what they want.
I could buy a set of computer speakers anywhere, but that isn't what I want and if I had an iPod that isn't what I'd have to settle for, so I hope this clears that up. I know I am being rather blunt, so don't get offended, just setting the record straight.

Does any one else have issues with the lack of properly trained reps ?

I've been a subscriber to verizon services for just under a year now and have been repeatedly disappointed by the " tech support" and " customer service " departments . I purchased a new droid xt912 (razr) and it worked great for a month or two then started having issues with random shutdowns and screen possessions icons randomly appearing and disappearing ringers changing on their own silent mode turning on and off by itself etc.. my inital thought was that it was a dl'd app that was causing the problems so i reset the phone to out of the box status and went for a week with no downloads or apps beyond the pre installed bloatware and started experiencing the same issues . I contacted cust service who then referred me to the laughable excuse for tech support who's only advice was reset it when i advised them I'd already done the reset they seem stunned that I being a lowly customer would know how to do that and advised me that there wasn't much else they could do but file and insurance claim and send me out a refurbished phone of the exact make and model. I declined after reading multiple reviews about this phone and the multitude of issues it possess and inquired about the possibility of allowing me to upgrade early and was told no under no circumstances would i be allowed to upgrade to a different phone. fast forward a couple of months I find out about the activation of the " edge " program and inquired with my local sales rep about the possibility of ditching this ****** razr for a different device and the ill trained and very ill informed rep told me that i qualified for the program no problem and I started the process and after almost an hour of my day later was told that no i couldn't use the program because i was already an active customer and wouldn't be eligible to even apply for it until my existing contract was expired at which point it would be really stupid on my part to renew into what is basically a lease program when i would be due to upgrade normally anyhow . I'm happy with the actual service ( when my device works properly ) but am seriously considering changing to a slower network once my contract is done just because of the inferior service . I know it seems like i may be whining just a bit but after several months of incompetent help bad answers and outright lies I'm at a loss as to if i may be the only one that has these issues . So if any one has had similar issues and has had them resolved i would so like to know

I have accepted that I am stuck with this device as i do not want a direct product replacement I've been to many of the global community forums and read about the product wide disaster this phone has been. My issue is more with the seeming disregard for customer loyalty and respect for the consumer who for lack of a better way of putting it pays the companies bills and employees salaries . Denying existing customers access to programs such as the " edge" program and the lack of intelligent answers to simple questions is a gigantic slap in the face to the consumer who despite other options has chosen to lock in with verizon. I guess more to the point it seems the company is more interested in obtaining newer customers then maintaining long term repeat customers . maybe i'm a bit archaic in my line of thought but better the reliable source of income then the gamble and it seems Verizon doesn't share that thought

When is apple going to release a iPhone 5 alarm clock? The lack of accessories for the iPhone 5 is really making me wish I would have just kept my 4s.

Hi - There is an alarm choice at the bottom of the clock app - is this what you are looking for?

Being Told That The Lack Of Upward Compatibility in Mail is NOT a Bug

Animated GiFs, which ran when viewed under Mail in Tiger, will no longer run under Leopard's version of Mail. This is a lack of Upward Compatibility and should be viewed as a bug and not as a Design Change, that will be gotten to when the maintenance load slows down: maybe. This is the wrong way to view systems maintenance. This is what I was told by the Apple Support Center. The lack of Gif execution will not be treated as a bug, but rather as a Design Change. I attempted to report this weeks ago, only to find my original Case # is now magically gone and there no record of this problem.

After Googling a little, I'm not 100% convinced this worked in Tiger either. Here's a post about it along with it's reply:

I also just sent myself one that I found on images.google.com and it does the exact same thing. Preview doesn't show it as animated either, but it does show the other frames in the sidebar.
I also composed a simple HTML page with the animated gif in it and used Safari's "mail contents of this page" to send it to myself. Interestingly enough, it did show as animated in the compose window, but didn't show at all when I opened the message I received.
You might be able to accomplish it by using a data: URI [1], but that seems like it might be more work than it's worth (unless it's the same image in a signature or something).

Is apple going to address the lack of alpha channel support in Keynote 6

Any updates of when Apple will address the lack of Alpha channel support for Keynote 6?

Thanks for the prompt reply, Gary. I am specifically talking about quicktime animations (.mov files) with clear backgrounds. When they play back in Keynote, the backgrounds are black.

ADDT DOCUMENTATION - Or the lack thereof !
