Amex auto CLI question and 100k plat offer

Two questions: 1. Does Amex do auto cli? I feel like I may be near the line with all my amex credit so I do not want to do a SP CLI request and send up any flags, but if they were willing to give me an auto CLI I'd like one on my SPG card because I only have a 2k limit on it which is somewhat annoying. I could shift spend over to it and max it out each month, but I do not want to do so if the chances are limited on an auto cli. 2. I have seen reports of people getting a 100k signup offer on the amex plat via cardmatch.com has anyone gotten this offer? I punch in my info and see no amex offers, but I see offers for chase CSP/Freedom/Slate. The first two I have and the last I do not need.

Yes, Amex does auto CLIs. As for your 2nd question, the offers does come up for those who qualify. You just have keep checking and see if it shows up for you.

A question about Auto Save, Versions and Preview.

I haven't upgraded to Lion (yet?). I'm trying to understand what impact Lion will have on my workflow.
Do I understand right that it is not possible to turn off Lion's Auto Save?
And that the autosavings are stored in a hidden sqlLite data base?
I use Preview for... err... previewing files (PDFs and image files). Nothing I open (preview) in Preview I save.
Is Lion's Auto Save going to save every file I take a look at in Preview?

The idea of Versions looks good to me, it certainly is not a 'con to upgrade'. The amount of disk space it uses and where (on which disk) is a bit of a concern to me. But by the time the applications I work with implement this feature that probably will be sorted out.
there's more to upgrading though.
Not so much on topic:
I do want to upgrade. Eventually. Although I do worry about the direction Apple are heading in, I don't want to get stuck in the past.
I'm disappointed AirDrop is not for my computers. And the treatment Spaces and Exposé got really withholds me of upgrading any time soon. Maybe a third party developer dives into this matter. Working with an external display connected to notebooks has changed in Lion and is not particularly handy for everyone. (While using the external display only, opening the lid of the notebook in Lion turns on the display of the notebook. This was not the case before Lion.)

The Definitive Amex 3X CLI Guide

Note: while this was at one time the correct guide, recent changes in policy have changed. There will be updated information coming soon. One of the most popular topics of discussion on the forum is the American Express 3X CLI. Here is a small guide I put together to alleviate some misconceptions based on personal experiences and discussions here and other boards. Please feel free to suggest modifications or enhancements. Please don't copy/paste the information to other boards. Linking here is fine.
What is the 3X CLI?
=========================================================== American Express is one of the most sought after credit cards in the market. They are also typically one of more generous companies with respect to credit limits outside of the credit unions. For folks who do not qualify for NFCU and other credit unions known to issue high credit limits despite low FICO scores and or moderate credit history, the best way to get high(er) CLs is to first get accepted into American Express and then apply for an increased credit limit upto 3 times the existing approved limit after a certain minimum number of days have passed (discussed in details below). This really comes in handy when the initial approved limit is on the lower side (example $2,000) due to internal American Express risk score models, mostly for folks starting out in their credit journey or with other risky credit/income factors. After completing the "60" day magic number of the account being open and in good standing, one can request an increased credit limit upto 3X the initial limit starting with the 61st day, meaning someone who got approved for $2,000 could request that the new credit limit be $2,000 x 3 = $6,000, someone who got approved for $3,000 initially could request the new credit limit be $3,000 x 3 = $9,000 and so on.  Why is the 3X CLI Important?
=========================================================== Credit Utilization is one of the most important components of the FICO score (30% per official wording from FICO).Given the same amount of spending, with higher available credit, utilization is lower and hence FICO scores are higher. But more importantly this is a gateway to getting approved for other prime cards/rewards cards like Visa Signature, MasterCard World, points, cashback etc offered by various lenders like Chase, Citi, BoA, US Bank etc who typically issue them if they see an existing high limit card. Higher limits from one lender attracts higher limits from others up until the overall available credit reaches a certain threshold. No other lender is known to have a 3X CLI policy and that too as early as the 61st day. One may be able to procure a CLI from other lenders but typically it is a hard inquiry or sometimes flat out denial because the account is considered too new. Amex is the only lender that offers this. More recently though GEMB issued credit cards are also known to get generous increases (sometimes even > 3X initial limits) via a Soft Pull. This policy is relatively new but widely reported to be successful across different boards.  Is the 3X CLI automatic or guaranteed?
=========================================================== Most definitely not. The components factored into a CLI approval or denial are not published but widely accepted to be similar to the FICO models. Amex also asks for income and rent during the CLI request process. Other factors remaining same, chances of a CLI approval are higher if the account has always been in good standing e.g lower utilization, low risk spending patterns, on time payments etc. The 3X CLI request has to be manually initiated by the account holder after becoming eligible.
Will there be a hard inquiry when requesting 3X CLI?
===========================================================
Fortunately not. American Express initiates soft pulls on Experian throughout the life of an open account with random frequency. During the first 60 days, it is not uncommon for Amex to have soft pulled at least 3-4 times. The CLI approval or denial will be based on the last soft pull before the CLI request and other factors like income/rent etc. A new hard pull or soft pull is not initiated when requesting the 3X CLI. If in doubt, get a copy of your Experian report and see when Amex issued a soft pull to gauge account statistics at that snapshot and request CLI accordingly. Post 186 explains how to get your experian report and check for soft pulls. If there are concerns that the overall utilization or Amex utilization was high during the last soft pull, it might be worth waiting a few more days and then applying for CLI after Amex has issued a new soft pull.
When does an acccount become eligible for CLI?
=========================================================== Amex does NOT increase an account's credit limit during the first 60 days after it has been OPENED, or for at least 6 months from the last credit limit increase. The key word here is OPENED aka the account creation date. There are a few ways to find out the exact date the account was opened. a) Call the number on the back of the card and simply ask the friendly customer service rep. There is nothing to be worried about here or get nervous. You are not asking for a CLI to the rep, but simply the day the account was opened. This can be done during card activation itself or any point later. Some friendly CSRs will also calculate and mention the first eligible date for CLI (61st day since account opening). If they are not aware of the first eligible date, simply ask for account opening/creation date and calculate it yourself. b) "Date Opened" field on your Equifax or TransUnion credit report. Both EQ and TU report the account opened day and month accurately (Equifax started doing this recently). 3rd party credit pullers may or maynot pull the date opened field accurately, the official credit reports are the only reliable source. It is important to note that the year field in "Date Opened" is affected by your American Express Member Since date, so may not reflect the year the card was originally opened. The only downside is one has to wait for the card to report to EQ and TU first, but Amex is usually very prompt to report.
c) Before the first statement has been cut, the account opened date is reflected under the Recent Charges field next to the "Since". Example in this pic, the account opened date is Jan 08. The "Since" field changes every statement period as it starts tracking the spending for that statement, so it is a good idea to get the account open date information using this method as early as possible. Existing Amex card members with an online profile are at an advantage to use this method because any new approved cards show in the profile before the card has been delivered physically, displaying several key account details like the account open date, first statement closing date, last 5 digits of card etc. First time Amex card members should try to setup the online profile as early as possible after physically receiving the card(s) to take advantage of this method as the first statement can sometimes close very soon after receiving the card(s).
Example calculation of 1st eligibility date taking the above screenshot as an example (Account opened : 01/08/2013). The account will complete 60 days on March 9, 2013 based on the following calculations:
Number of days by January 31 : 23
Number of days by February 28 : 28
Number of days by March 9 : 9
Total days open by March 9 : 60 In this example the first eligible date for CLI is March 10, provided there have been no other CLIs for any other accounts in the last 6 months, as the 60 days are completed by March 9th,  A better and easier way to calculate Amex milestones has been explained in Post 227. Using the time and date calculator, we see the same result that we got from the manual calculation above.
How to request the CLI?
=========================================================== a) Calling the number on the back of the card. The number is unique to each credit product and is automated. Usually the option to request a credit limit increase is option #4 or #5, or if you are comfortable a CSR can take the application and let you know approval/denial once they submit. If you are denied, they may not be able to give the specific reason and you have to wait for an email or a letter in the mail outlining the reasons. b) Logging into your account. Click on "Profile and Preferences -> More Options -> Manage Credit Limit" under Account Management.  It is also available by clicking "Manage My Account"(Toggled to "HIDE ACCOUNT OPTIONS" in the pic below) next to the "Outstanding Balance/Available Credit" on main page    In both cases you want to request the new credit limit itself (e.g $6,000 if initial limit is $2,000). Don't calculate the increase ($6.000 - $2,000 = $4,000) yourself and mention it.
What happens if you are denied CLI?
=========================================================== If you jumped the gun before the 60 days/6 months rule, the reason for denial is considered ineligibility. If that is the case you can reapply after the original and correct 60day/6month timeline. You do not have to wait an additional 90 days, so the clock doesn't get reset. If you were eligible and got denied due to other factors, then you are ineligible to reapply for another 90 days since the denial date. If you get the message after requesting CLI, that a decision will be mailed within 7-10 days, it most likely means that the CLI has been denied. There is an outside chance that the letter that comes from Amex may ask for a signed 4506T in order to give further consideration to the CLI request(details below) but in 99% of the cases it is a letter outlining the reasons for denial. It also provides the true FICO score from the bureau that was used in the decision making process. Most of the time it is Experian FICO, but Amex is known to use EQ and or TU in rare circumstances. Sometimes the reason(s) for denial is also sent via email immediately after the CLI request in addition to the letter in mail. Update 06/23/2013 : Lately there have been reports of approvals in emails within a 24 hr period after initially getting the 7-10 day message. The 7-10 day message indicates manual review and there has been a report of successful partial CLI after talking to CSR post 7-10 day message as well in Post 182  Can you request 3X CLI again after 6 months since last CLI?
=========================================================== Absolutely. There have been lots of success stories where people have gone from $2,000 to $6,000 to $18,000 because their income and credit profile supported the increase request. It is generally tougher to get the full 3X CLI after 6 months on the same account since the first CLI however. Even if a 3X CLI is requested, Amex may counter offer a partial increase which you can choose to accept or refuse. It is a good idea to not short change yourself and ask for a partial increase from the beginning because Amex system is smart enough to offer and approve a partial CLI if eligible. Amex may request documentation to support a CLI to a CL above $25K, including a request for a 4506T. Accounts are not suspended, nothing is mandatory. They may ask for documents, and if you don't present them, they may deny the CLI. More details below.  Additional Documentation/4506T for certain CLI Requests
=========================================================== For certain CLI requests, Amex sends a letter requesting a signed 4506T from the card holder. Amex can then obtain tax return transcripts from IRS in order to verify income. Here is a sample tax return transcript which shows what kind of information can be obtained via a signed 4506T. A tax return transcript has far more details than just income and hence is considered very intrusive by many. If Amex does not receive the signed 4506T within 30 days from the date on the letter, then no further consideration is given to the CLI request and a letter of denial is sent. No CLI can be requested for 90 days from the date in the denial letter. Sending back the signed 4506T also doesn't guarantee a CLI approval as Amex will also evaluate the usual credit factors via soft pulls on Experian in addition to income verification. Income to overall credit available across all accounts(amex and non-amex) is one of the key factors for Amex Internal Risk Score. Lower risk score improves chances of getting approved for the CLI. The following often (but not always) are potential reasons why Amex asks for 4506T for a CLI request.  New requested credit limit exceeds $25,000 for that particular account.New requested credit limit would make overall credit extended across all Amex revolving accounts exceed $34,500 (post 123)High internal risk score due to income on file to overall credit across amex and non-amex accounts ratio being too low.Unusual/large/manufactured/risky spending patterns. It is important to note that this whole process,although inconvenient/complicated/intrusive, is different from the dreaded Amex Financial Review. During an Amex FR, all accounts are suspended and sending back the signed 4506T is mandatory in order to be considered for lifting the suspension. For business accounts, even more documentation is required during an FR. Also an FR can happen at any time and not necessarily after requesting an increase in credit limit.    Some generic Amex CLI Guidelines
=========================================================== Requesting CLI > 3X current limit results in automatic denial. Letter in the mail indicates that credit limit cannot be greater than three times the current limit. So American Amex credit limits are capped at 200% increase. Update: Requesting CLI > 3X no longer results in automatic denial. If the account is eligible for CLI, then new limit is counter offered keeping the 200% cap in effect(meaning CLI counter offered will not exceed 3X current limit under any scenario)Canadian Amex are capped at 50% increase every 6 months (Post 45)Minimum 6 month since last CLI rule applies across ALL accounts held by an individual and includes both personal & business accounts for the same person. So if CLI was successful on a personal account, no CLI can be approved on all other personal and business accounts for the same person for a period of 6 more months. (Posts 5 and 6 of the AmEx 61 day CLI result: 7-10 day written response thread)Credit limits can be moved between accounts only after the completion of 13 statements cycles on both the donor account. Post 170 explains how to move limits between Amex cards. Additionally limits cannot be moved between personal and business cards as mentioned in Post 171 Moving credit limits doesn't reset the 6 month clock and is a backdoor to receiving CLI on same account twice within 6 months (Post 128)"6 months" timeline used in context of this guide actually is 180 days to be more precise (not 6 calendar months)

Carrying Balance vs PIF & Other Utilization Factors=========================================================== This section is a work in progress.  To see how charge cards affect credit scores, please check Post 204Amex clearly dislikes carrying balance. Check Post 189 to see more details and the official reason for denial as "one or more payments received in the past 12 months on your american express account were too low given the outstanding balance and repayment history"          Change Log

Flash Player installation and update questions and answers

How do I verify that I have the latest version of Flash Player?
If you receive a message that tells you that Flash Player is out of date or a new version of Flash Player is available, you can verify this by visiting the Flash Player Help page with your browser.
Simply click the "Check Now" button and you'll be presented with a short message and detailed information regarding your Flash Player installation.
Where should I download the latest version of Flash Player?
Because malware authors will often employ misleading tactics to make malware look like something you should trust, it's important to get your Flash Player updates directly from Adobe.
Please verify that your Flash Player downloads and updates come from only the adobe.com or macromedia.com domains. You can always download the latest version of Flash Player directly from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
I've selected the automatic update option in Flash Player, why do I continue to get update notifications?
Periodically, users are presented with the Flash Player update dialog notifying them that a new version of Flash Player is available for download from adobe.com.
The automatic update mechanism is used for some updates, security patches that address zero-day vulnerabilities and when users, who have selected to be updated automatically, have not updated within 45 days after a regularly scheduled update release of Flash Player.
What should I expect when I receive notification that Flash Player has an update available?
When a major update to Flash Player becomes available you will be presented with a Flash Player update dialog
After reviewing new features, pressing the Download button will open your default browser and load the Install Adobe Flash Player page.
Clicking the "Update now" or "Install Now" button will then take you to the next page which will start the download process and give instructions for completing the Flash Player install.
Finally, once the installation is complete your browser will display a page confirming a successful installation.
If you encounter installation problems, we recommend you review our Windows and Mac OS installation help documents. Further questions and information can be found on the Flash Player installation forums.
Why does Adobe Flash Player installer include the option to download additional software?
Adobe offsets the ongoing development costs of Flash Player, which is made available for free, by offering users the option to download select software from Adobe partners.
What options do I have when installing or updating Flash Player?
You have a few different options available when updating Flash Player. We recommend that you choose "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)" when initially setting up Flash Player
or by going into the Flash Player control panel and choosing this option in the Advanced tab.
Once selected, most updates will occur in the background without requiring any interaction. For those regularly scheduled major update releases, you will be presented with an update notification dialog
If you decide not to update, you will receive an automatic update within 45 days if you have the "Allow Adobe to install updates" option selected. Please note that when this update occurs, only Flash Player will be installed.
If you want to be notified about every Flash Player update, select "Notify me to install updates" when initially installing Flash Player or from the Advanced tab in the Flash Player control panel.
Finally, if you'd prefer not to receive any updates, select "Never check for updates (not recommended)". We do not recommend this option as we believe keeping your system up to date improves both security and stability when using Flash Player.
For network Administrators we offer additional update options, including the ability to host your own internal Flash Player update server. Please see our Flash Player distribution page and Flash Player Administrator guide for details.

Sunil, I just want to verify you are pointing me to the link under "Progress bar hangs during download / Unable to connect to server / Unable to download metafile."
If yes, then that is the file I originally downloaded based on a March post I saw here.
I just tried it again, and it (by "it" I mean the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers from download.macromedia.com) installed 11.6.
After the installation process completed, the dialog box notified me it was version 11.6, and when I went back to, the "find version" page, 11.6 was confirmed.
I did not download the exe for Internet Explorer, as I almost never use that browser.

Client Auto-Update questions

We just updated our Dev system to SP5 with Patch 2, but the clients are not updating automatically.
I have checked that the Client and Admin boxes are checked for auto-update and can see nowhere else that this can be done.
I double-checked with the Master Install guide, and this appears to be the only thing that I need to do to make it work.
The clients are currently at 502, and they should now be 506.
Also, is this controlled by the files in C:\BPC\Websrvr\Web\Installation?
I have checked the live server (BPC 5.1 SP3) and the Dev server (BPC 5.1 SP5r2)
Both of them have EverestClient.exe and EverestAdmin.exe with version number 12.0.0.49974
Does that seem right? I would have expected an increment in version number.
Has anyone else seen this, and can you offer any advice?
Thanks
Craig

Trying to post my question and being denied, why?

I had an incident happen on my MacBook Pro and needed help with it. I created my question and clicked POST. After I clicked POST nothing happened and it appeared my question did not post. I thought something went wrong with posting my MacBook Pro question. I checked my activity page and looked for my new entry and it was not listed. I went back and tried to post again. This time I was sent a pink banner that read "You are not allowed to create or update this content." At the bottom of my question box it said "Auto-saved" with the date and time listed. I am confused now. I have searched all over looking for my question. It's no where. What has happened to my posted question? Why am I being denied access to it?

The Forum is haunted with glitches, you ran in to two. If you get the you can't post message first refresh the page if that doesn't work try a little later. If you get the message auto-saved versions etc,. tap recover or type a new question. If you find your question is in the wrong Forum reply to yourself and ask if someone will ask a host to relocate your post.

WTC Questions and Answers

Here are some common WTC questions and answers:
Q1: What is the transaction story for WTC between WLS and Tuxedo and how
does it differ from Jolt?
A1: In version 1.0 of WTC transactions may be started in WLS and will
"infect" Tuxedo with the same transaction. That implies that there is one
and only one commit coordinator, and that is in WLS. In version 1.0 of WTC
transactions originating
in Tuxedo via WTC is not supported. In version 1.1 of WTC transactions from
Tuxedo into WLS via WTC can be used, but only in Beta mode, as we will not
have done the required QA of "inbound" transactions. In order to use
inbound transactions in WTC 1.1 you will need to turn on the use of beta
features with an attribute called "UseBetaFeatures" on the WTC Startup class
in WLS.
This differs from Jolt in that while Jolt can start transactions in Tuxedo,
these transactions are not coordinated with anything in WLS. Hence it is
impossible to do a 2 phase commit which involves WLS resources and Tuxedo
resources with Jolt. Since Jolt does not have any means of invoking WLS
services transactions in that direction do not make sense.
Q2. How does the security mapping work?
A2: WLS and Tuxedo can share the same set of users (though they may be
administered differently in the two systems) and the users can propagate
their credentials from one system to the other. For example, if John Wells
logs into WLS then the services which he invokes in Tuxedo will have all of
the ACL permissions of John Wells as defined on the Tuxedo side.
Furthermore, if Jolene User logs into Tuxedo then any resources she attempts
to access in WLS via WTC will be checked against Jolene User's rights in WLS
land.
In order to accomplish this, a few things need to be set up:
1. You must be using Tuxedo 7.1 or Tuxedo 8.0 for this to work. Tuxedo 6.5
did not have the security infrastructure necessary to make this happen.
2. In your BDMCONFIG on the Tuxedo side you will need to set ACL_POLICY and
CREDENTIAL_POLICY to "GLOBAL" for the WLS remote domain. ACL_POLICY
controls whether or not a domain accepts credentials coming from a remote
domain and CREDENTIAL_POLICY controls whether or not we send credentials to
a remote domain. (In Tuxedo 7.1 there was no CREDENTIAL_POLICY - we always
sent the credentials to the remote domain).
3. In your BDMCONFIG on the WLS side you must likewise specify <ACL_POLICY>
and <CREDENTIAL_POLICY> to be "GLOBAL."
4. On the WLS side you must also configure a <TpUsrFile> which will point
to a file of the exact same format as the tpusr file generated by the
various Tuxedo commands to add and delete users. (Which also happens to be
of the same format as the unix /etc/passwd file). WTC needs this file
because in WLS users do not have user identification numbers or group
identification numbers. Hence we need a way to map WLS users into the
standard Tuxedo UID/GID appkey.
Voila! You have now set up your system such that users logged into either
system can be given access privelidges in the other system. This is known
as single sign-on. We are currently working on a way to better integrate
the two user databases between WLS and Tuxedo, and one day we will have
single administration and single-sign on!
Q3: How is the performance of WTC?
A3: Obviously, results will vary based on your machine, CPU, application
(i.e., transactions/no transactions) etc...
However, in the performance lab here we have seen WTC perform at levels that
nearly equal Tuxedo in a similar configuration. The performance is equal to
or better than Jolt, and will scale much better than Jolt because of the
concentration of network bandwidth.
Q4: What fail-over/fail-back mechanisms are there in WTC?
A4: WTC has many of the same fail-over fail-back mechanisms which /T
domains had. Any service can be offered by multiple remote domains, and if
a domain link is down we will attempt all of the backup domains. In /T
domains there was a limit of three backup remote domains, but in WTC there
is no limit to the number of backup domains you can configure for a service.
Furthermore, we support the connection policies of ON_STARTUP, ON_DEMAND and
INCOMING_ONLY. If the policy is ON_STARTUP then you can also configure a
retry interval and max-retries. We will attempt to connect to ON_STARTUP
remote domains every retry interval for a maximum number of retries before
giving up. If a domain is configured as ON_STARTUP or INCOMING_ONLY and the
connection is not currently established then no services will be routed to
that remote domain.
Q5: What support features are available in WTC?
A5: WTC has a tracing feature which can be enabled dynamically. If a
customer reports a problem, support will likely ask the customer to turn
tracing on and send a log file. This tracing facility has several levels of
severity and can also help debug WTC applications. It is turned on by
setting TraceLevel in the WTC startup class. The following are the defined
levels:
10000 - TBRIDGE Input/Output
15000 - TBRIDGE extra information
20000 - Gateway Input/Output (this will trace the ATMI verbs)
25000 - Gateway extra information
50000 - JATMI Input/Output (this will trace the low-level jatmi calls)
55000 - JATMI extra information
60000 - CORBA Input/Output (this will trace CORBA calls)
65000 - CORBA extra information
Q6: Will Jolt be deprecated?
A6: No. There are some features of Jolt that are not covered by WTC. For
example, the Jolt registry API are not supported by WTC. Furthermore WTC
must run in conjunction with WLS, while Jolt can be run from Applets or from
free-standing Java applications.
Q7: What about JCA? Is WTC a JCA adapter?
A7: WTC is not a JCA adapter. JCA does not define semantics for inbound
invokations into the JCA container, but WTC allows for Tuxedo clients to
invoke WLS EJBs. However, the jATMI object interactions are based on the
JCA client model. BEA is currently evaluating several JCA strategies for
connections into Tuxedo.

Q8. What versions of Tuxedo are supported?
A8. WTC 1.0 will support Tuxedo 6.5 and Tuxedo 8.0. WTC 1.1 (which adds
CORBA support) will support Tuxedo 6.5 and Tuxedo 8.0. Soon after the
release of both of these products we will certify WTC with Tuxedo 7.1.
However, the version of Tuxedo 7.1 you will need to have will be Tuxedo 7.1
after a certain patch level, which I don't know the number of yet. I will
attempt to keep the public informed about which patch level will be required
in Tuxedo 7.1
Q9. What WLS Releases will be supported?
A9. WTC 1.0 will be certified on WLS 6.0 SP2, WTC 1.1 will be bundled with
WLS SilverSword release (6.1?)
Q10. How will WTC be packaged?
A10. WTC 1.0 will be a separately downloaded binary (one for unix, one for
NT) that the user will have to install and configure in his/her WLS
environment. (Configuration will consist of putting the jatmi.jar file into
the classpath (as well as the normal BDMCONFIG configuration, of course)).
WTC 1.1 will be bundled right in there with the WLS SilverSword release.
Q11. When will WTC go live (no more beta)?
A11. This is a question for Jeff Cutler, but my impression is that WTC 1.0
will be shipped in the same time-frame as the Tuxedo 8.0 release and
obviously (see A10) WTC 1.1 will be shipped with WLS SilverSword.

One last question and I am ready to jump for Lion.

Hi All,
Thanks for your support and sharing your wonderful knowledge on my past questions. Now I have only one question and I am ready to jump for Lion on my system on this weekend. My question is...
If I upgrade to Lion and suppose anyhow I want to format my whole system due to some reason and if I want to install same thing back on my MacBook pro what I have to do? As I like to try new softwares and because of this sometime my system gets lot of problem but I have Installation discs of SL so I can manage but when we buy software from Appstore we don't have install discs so what I can do in this case?

When you download Lion, it will put an installer in your Applications folder and auto-launch that installer. If you let the installer proceed, it will self-delete when finished. Instead, make a copy of that installer and store it somewhere else. At your leisure, create a bootable Lion install disk. Note that if you choose to put it on a flash drive, you'll need an 8 GB one... 4 GB seems like it ought to be enough, but it's not quite.

I am already customer and want to upgrade and take the offer of $29.99/month for the complete CS for existing customers (which I qualify for) but when I try 'BUY' - it keeps sending me to this forum?? How do I get the $29.99/month deal?

Hi Bev,
Thanks for the the email - I understand now.
I would just like to ask another question with regards to my new order for complete Creative Cloud which you suggested. I have now pre-paid for a full year but I’m not
sure when I can start downloading the other APPS as they don’t seem to be updating on my current Creative Cloud account app display. It still shows my old configuration
of products (i.e. Photoshop etc) and my ‘activity stream’ relates back to 9 days ago.
Please let me know how to get my new order activated.
Thanks
Kevin Bartley

I forgot the answer to my security questions, and when i do the steps this site tells me to do the option to change the questions isn't available. what do i do?

i put a $25 giftcard into my itunes and when i tried getting music it said to answer my security questions which i have forgotten the answers to. When I tried to reset the questions, the option wasn't there

Hi Tiffany
1. First, go to http://appleid.apple.com. Underneath where it says "Already have an Apple ID?," click Manage your Account. You will then need to sign in. If you forgot your Apple ID or password, click on the appropriate "Forgot..." link below either of these fields.
2. After you sign in, click on "Passwords and Security" on the left.
3. You will be asked to answer the security questions, but you should also notice a link below the second "Answer" field offering to send reset instructions to your rescue email address that you provided.
4. Check the Inbox of your rescue email address. The email should appear within a minute or two. If it does not, be sure to check Spam. If it is not there either, you can repeat the above process to resend. Once you get the email, following the link will take you to a page where you must sign in again. After doing so, you will have the option to choose three new security questions and answers, which you may want to write down
5. After you fill in the required information and continue, you should be taken to a confirmation screen stating "Your password and security information has been saved," and then you are done.
6. The "Forgot your answers?" link will not appear if you do not have a rescue email address set up. In that case you will need to contact iTunes Support, http://apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
7. Even if you still know the answers to your security questions, it is highly recommended you add a rescue email address. To do so, log in at appleid.apple.com and click on Password and Security. Answer the questions and then click on "Add Rescue Email Address:"

Auto estimate percent and histograms or small est percent no histograms by default?

In the past I've used custom written statistics gathering scripts that by default gather statistics on large tables with a small estimate percentage and FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE 1. They allow the estimate percentage to be set higher on individual tables and allow me to choose individual columns to have histograms with the maximum number of buckets. The nice thing about this approach was that the statistics ran very efficiently by default and they could be dialed up as needed to tune individual queries.
But, with 11g you can set preferences at the table level so that the automatic stats job or even a manual run of gather_table_stats will use your settings. Also, there is some special sampling algorithm associated with auto_sample_size that you miss out on if you manually set the estimate percentage. So, I could change my approach to query tuning and statistics gathering to use AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE and FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE AUTO by default and then override these if needed to tune a query or if needed to make the statistics run in an acceptable length of time.
I work in an largish company with a team of about 10 DBAs and a bunch of developers and over 100 Oracle databases so we can't really carefully keep track of each system. Having the defaults be less resource intensive saves me the grief of having stats jobs run too long, but it requires intervention when a query needs to be tuned. Also, with my custom scripts I get a lot of hassles from people wanting to know why I'm not using the Oracle default settings so that is a negative. But I've seen the default settings, even on 11.2, run much too long on large tables. Typically our systems start small and then data grows and grows until things start breaking so the auto stats may seem fine at first, but eventually they will start running too long. Also, when the stats jobs run forever or with the automatic jobs don't finish in the window I get complaints about the stats taking too long or not being updated. So, either direction has its pros and cons as far as I can tell.
So, my question, fueled by a post work day Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, is whether anyone else has this same dillema and how you have resolved it. I appreciate any input on this subject.
- Bobby

Hi Bobby,
> Also, when the stats jobs run forever or with the automatic jobs don't finish in the window I get complaints about the stats taking too long or not being updated
Complaints about "not updated" statistics are very common, but they don't need to be "up-to-date" ... they just need to be representative ... a very important difference
> I think it comes down to estimate percentage and histograms. If you can't get the percentage and histograms you want to complete in time you have to dial them back but then the stats aren't as good.
Be aware of how histograms are gathered under-the-hood for each column. There are some nice improvements with AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE (Blog: How does AUTO_SAMPLE...). However if you want to know more about the NDV improvements or the synopses - please check out the paper of Amit Poddar One Pass Distinct Sampling.
Personally i usually start with "FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE 1" and AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE (from the scratch) and change only the table preferences that need to be adjusted (like histograms due to data skew, etc.). The other basic stuff works pretty well in most cases and so i usually don't need to put much effort in it (you don't need to fix something, that is not broke). There also issues with aggressive sampling and CBO behavior changes (like fix_control 5483301:off/on), but this needs to be cross-checked from case to case of course.

New BrightSide Questions and Comments

I just got my BrightSide. I was eligible to upgrade about 4 years ago, but haven’t because of Verizon’s selection of basic phones. I looked into upgrading because I read on a news website that Verizon was going to start charging a $30 fee for upgrading. I did not see anything about this anywhere else. Also, I found out after I opened the box the box (which would cause a $35 restocking fee if sent back) that Best Buy and Radio Shack are selling the phone for $70 less. That’s $70 after my Verizon “discount”. I never thought to check elsewhere because I figured that Verizon would have the best price.
Overall, I really like my new BrightSide. It’s almost like a smart phone without having to get a data plan. I have some questions and some comments for those who are interested below. I tried to get answers from Samsung, but their support sucks. One person would tell me one thing. I would reply, get another person, and they would tell me something different.
Questions:
1) Is there a way to take pictures in “portrait” mode?
2) When a picture is taken in “send message mode”, it saves it at a lesser resolution as if I would use the camera (I have the camera set at 3.2 MP), take a picture, save the picture, then attach it to a message. Is there a way to keep the higher resolution of a saved picture? With both ways, the picture is “reduced” to send, but the saved picture resolution is still higher.
3) When I open my picture gallery and the picture has the arrows on the side, I can “slide” through my different pictures if I touch the current picture. By touching the current picture, it also zooms it. If I pick the zoom option when a picture has the arrow to the sides, the picture zooms, but does not let me “slide” through my other pictures. Is there a way to slide through my other pictures if I pick the zoom option?
4) The phone has a display and phone lock. Is there a way to do a phone lock quickly without having to go to the security settings and entering the security code? I do a phone lock because the display lock button is in a poor location. If I do a display lock, I usually hit the display unlock button when putting it in my case.
5) How do I know when the phone is fully charged? When I check the screen, all I see is something saying to unplug the charger to save power. My old Motorola phone had a message saying that it was completely charged.
6) Does anyone know which Samsung software can be used to sync Outlook to the BrightSide? Samsung has Kies, Mini Kies, and New PC Studio. As mentioned earlier, Samsung was not very helpful.
7) I have the text mode set to “Abc”. I usually double space between sentences when texting. If I go one space, it stays “Abc”. If I go two spaces, it goes to “abc”. Is there a way to double space and keep “Abc”? That’s the way that it worked with my old Motorola phone.
8) Can I use a microphone that is included with a wired headset?
9) There is a place for a strap attachment. Does anyone know what would work here? I think that the phone would be easy to drop.
Comments:
1) The charging cable is also a data cable. I figured that I would mention this because I did not see it anywhere in the documentation.
2) I don’t like the “limited” video resolution.
3) I don’t like that the camera does not have a flash. I also would have liked a little better camera resolution.
4) The manual and Samsung says that you can only use a microSD memory card, but you can use a microSDHC card. These are also cheaper if you don’t buy them from Verizon.
5) I sent myself a text message with some phone numbers in it from an email address. When I opened the text message, the phone recognized the numbers as phone numbers. I touched a phone number and I was asked if I wanted to call the number.
6) I have big hands, but have no problem using the QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard is one of the reasons that I bought the phone.
7) I like how the Brightside can “read” text messages.
8) I like Notepad. It comes in handy saving info sometimes.
9) I don’t like the plastic battery cover.
10) The voice recognition works well for me.

I have the Bright Side as well.....while I like the large screen (makes it easy to read @ night), I feel my "old" LG flip phone had more to offer than this one. A person needs more than 14 days to really work w/ this phone.
I was very unhappy that I couldn't change the color, style & put colored icons in my texts. Also, my phone shuts its self off whenever it wants which is a pain !
The salesperson that, more than happily, helped me with this phone, said "he didn't know anything about it and would I let him know how it worked". When I tried to reach this person again, he never returned my call. Not a good thing.
The camera is pretty good and I find mine does have a flash, nothing you can turn on or off, it just happens if it's dark enough. I would, however, like to be able to zoom in for a closer, clearer picture.
I would NOT recommend this phone to ANYONE! Oh yes, it's supposed to be Blue tooth "compatible" , that's a farce. You'd be better off buying a head set/ear buds to use...of course it's not a convenient as the Bluetooth would be, you'd be tethered to the phone BUT, hopefully it would work better.
A sales person from one of the Verizon call centers said I could replace this phone with a different one, nothing said about having to pay extra. You can bet i'll be going back to LG phones!
I know this doesn't address any of your concerns but just wanted you to know your not alone in disliking the Samsung Bright Side.
