Answering questions on the forums

Hello everyone,
I am preparing to give a targeted resumé to Apple in the coming weeks and had the idea that my knowledge of apple products or more importantly ability to find relevant information may serve Apple in the best way if I can be paid for answering questions on these forums and any other forums Apple identifies as representative of their services. So my question is this: is it possible to be paid a wage for answering questions on forums? This need not be an in house operation, as I think my internet connection at home would suffice. I also speak fluent French and could answer questions of a high level of sophistication in French. Alors c'est possible?
Merci et Thank you
-Shawn

But yesterday in these Communities you asked a question "Where can I find the manual for my machine" — which you could have found the answer to with a simple search like THIS.

Question to the forum My question really has to do with the replace stuff

Question to the forum
My question really has to do with the replace stuff from imovie 09
Ok when I pick up the stuff from the event library and pull up to the top it does not replace at play head or end or start
It mainly erases everything that is on there b4 so
So I am not sure
I actually also wanted to know what is the difference of just dragging to the end or end
And all these replacing options like replace at start end or replace alone for that matter ….

Hello again. Just to let you know I have solved the problem. Backed up my new phone. Then wiped all settings and everything off it to start again. When it relaunches it gives you the option to download from Icloud and you can pick from which back-up date you want to download it from. Picked the one from the day before it got trashed and HEY PRESTO, we have all the pictures and videos back!!! Iphone 0 - 1 Voodooboy78
I'm sure people will look at this and be like duhhhhhh but to me it is a VICTORY over technology!!! Peace

Facts and Figures - A Question for the Forum Mods

A bit of a daft question for which I am sure the Forum Mods can provide an answer.
How many folks were registered on the old forum and how many on the new one?

What are the most common questions in the forums?

I have my own ideas about what are the questions we see asked over and over and over again in here. Everyone post your ideas here so we can compile a FAQ and maybe post it somewhere (Virum, your new site? :) )

Please do my homework/coursework/think for me
This has to be by far the most common type of question asked on the forums.
Classpath questions
HashCode questions
Pointer vs Reference Debate (totally spurious but people spew 100's of pages arguing about something that is perfectly obvious)
A very good Thread that is probably 1000's of entries long by now is the
"How to get your questions answered promptly" one (or however this is called). A recap of that published somewhere would be of tremendous value, especially if it was presented as a page you had to go through before landing in the forums to post your latest "Java Challenge" aka "do my coursework" on the boards.

How the @#$& do I search for my questions in the forum???

I want to find my previous questions in this forum. This is easy in the Seamonkey forum, but appears impossible here???

Finding my question in the forum

I asked a question [dec1st]can/t find it in unsolved or latest answers how do i find it rather than go to gmail where the forum asked to confirm my account

Found these:
* [/questions/767147]
* [/questions/767357]
I assume that you mean the latter, that has no answers yet.
If you have a problem with importing bookmarks then make sure that you give the file the correct file extension.
Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup.<br />
You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties.<br />
If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File"<br />
A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links.
A JSON backup starts with: <nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki><br />
An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>

Do any Adobe representatives answer questions on this forum?

Looking back through the posts, it is mostly other users talking ot each other, and zero interaction with Adobe employees.

For the most part the forums are user to user. There are some forums that have an official Adobe presence but most forums do not.

Poll about asking questions in the forum.

It seems that really few users noticed the poll that's been running for a month, see this thread: Asking questions on the Adobe Forums

I personally dislike polls where the answers aren't mutually exclusive.
I voted for No. I always start a new discussion myself.
It's not because the search doesn't work, though I *have* had incomplete results from it. It's not because I don't know it's there. I voted for the second entry because because I'm a regular who asks fairly few questions, and for the few times I do start a new thread I would like to specifically make a new discussion. I already pretty much know what a search will (or won't) turn up.
But what decisions will get made due to my choice of #2, which contributed a fair percentage to the results since only 11 people have voted so far? That the "Ask a Question" field should be eliminated?

How can I talk with someone? I have a simple question and it's not answered anywhere in the forums. I have asked it before and repetedly gets swept over

Where do my files have to be in order to use creative cloud and not have my indesign links break? I'll need to use Indesign on different computers and my images won't be traveling with me... will I need to relink every image every time? this gets way too tedious after 5 pages of links are broken. Also,,, why do I need all these plugin's once I use an icloud version of indesign when I've saved the file on my external hard drive, and then open the exact same file from the exact same hard drive? The file never opens and is corrupt which means I have to rebuild the entire thing or physically travel back to that computer which has the indesign cloud.... It's baffling.
And another question... how does adobe not have a live support number to call and ask questions? I've been in the same "click-loop" now forever and I can't ever get to an actual useful forum.

Standard practice is to use File>Package and then save to drive/location that suits you. If you need it to travel with you bring the entire folder.
The InDesign file will link to the folder where the Links folder is situated.

The file isn't corrupt. The Craeative Cloud version is a newer version than you have on your computer at home. That's why the plugins are missing, as older versions don't have the same plugins as the newer version of InDesign.
If you want to work on a version created with CC - then you need to use file Export/Save and choose IDML - then open that in earlier versions of InDesign.
However, you could install the Creative Cloud on your computer at home and use the same version of InDesign - this would solve your problem without any extra work.

InDesign has never offered user support in using the software. It's telephone and helpline service is not for that purpose. InDeisgn is a professional graphic designer/typesetter/whateveryourjob is tool.
Like any tool you need to have specific training to it's end use, most people used to do an apprenticeship/trainee position going to college to learn the software and the fine principles of lithographic/screen/flexo/gravure printing and the use of images/text/graphics etc on the web.
It's a professional's tool that requires professional training. Much like I wouldn't go out and buy a carpenters tool set and then complain that none of the tools do what I want them to do, like hammering in a screw.

Firefox crashes all the time. Last time I was trying to ask a question on the forum for firefox and it crashed. Running Mac OS Lion

where is the location Bar? Where is crash signature. Your photo in the click for detailed instructions does not show you where to go.

The location Bar is where you type the address (URL) of a website that you want to visit.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

How to make anew question on the forum

can you please advise
I have copied over my entire MP3 music collection into I tunes to put on to my Ipod Touch 64gb
will the MP3 files be automatically converted to the required AAC files to import onto my IPOD or do i have to do that manually ?
can i convert my library before exporting to save time as im assuming moving 50 gig of music and converting each track to AAC file via a standard apple data cable is going to take forever and a day ?
is there a way to convert your library in one go..rather than album at a time ?
and lastly when my library had finished converting..i was left with a whole pile of WMA tracks that were left in just pile of tracks and not in albums if i convert these files to MP3 and then reimport them into itunes...will they be automatically integrated into the correct albums that they came from..I sincerely hope so because i don't want to be left with a load of random tracks imported into I tunes because there is at least couple of hundred of them.
thanks for your help

"will the MP3 files be automatically converted to the required AAC files to import onto my IPOD or do i have to do that manually?"
You don't have to do anything; MP3 files are fully supported by iTunes and iDevices. The AAC/m4a format is used by the iTunes Store and is the default for imports for CD, but is not required for use in iTunes.
"is there a way to convert your library in one go rather than album at a time?"
See above. All you need to do is import your media, either in one step (which will take a while for 50Gb, even though that's not a particularly large library), or in groups, e.g., all songs/albums by each artist. Any of the following methods can be used:
Drag and drop from your current media folders to the iTunes window
Select File > Add Folder to Library (press Ctrl-B in iTunes to enable the menu bar if you don't see it) and select the folder(s) containing the media you want to support
Copy your media file to the Automatically Add to iTunes folder within your iTunes Media folder (typically found within C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes) - if iTunes is running this will automatically start the import process, otherwise it'll be initiate when you next start iTunes
(From your message I'm not sure whether you've already done this or are just getting set up to do so).
"if i convert these (WMA) files to MP3 and then reimport them into itunes..."
iTunes originally did not support WMA files (it being a Microsoft proprietary format). However, recent versions (maybe just iTunes 12) will convert the WMA files as they are imported. By default they'll be converted to .m4a (AAC) files - though this can be changed by choosing another format through Edit > Preferences > General and clicking the Import Settings button. You'll get a prompt like this:
Click on Convert to proceed.
"will they be automatically integrated into the correct albums that they came from"
No. The symptoms you describe suggest that some of your media files don't have the necessary metadata ("tags") that hold information about artist, title, album, etc. If you find the original WMA files and (in Windows Explorer) right-click > Properties > Details tab you'll see whether any of these elements are present. If not, then you will need to go through the process (either in iTunes or in a 3rd party tool - I use foobar2000 when faced with this situation) of creating the tags manually. If you do see the expected info in the properties of the original WMA files - something like this:
then there may be some inconsistency or incompatibility between these and the way that iTunes expects to handle them. My assumption, though, is that you'll find that the tags are missing - and, unfortunately, there is no "automagic" way to fix this and correctly group tracks into albums without manual intervention
