I recently realized that the new (well new as of early July) Skype for Android is missing the "away" and "busy" statuses (and perhaps some other one as well).
I've seen other users around this forum mentioning the same thing, but it's unclear to me whether this was done intentionally or not. Are there any chances for these statuses to be added back? And if not what has been reasoning behind the decision of taking them out?

There is another topic, addressing this issue and also explaining it pretty good:

Unfortunately it doesn’t have much kudos either, even though it is pretty old.
The worst about it is, that you aren’t even able to see the real status of your contacts:
Contacts who have their status set to “away” are shown as online.
Contacts who have it set to “busy” are shown as offline. (Which is even worse…)
This simply can’t be intentional.
Also.. It's been possible in older skype versions for android, it's also possible on ios.. So where is the need to get rid of the busy/away status in the new android version?

Info for command and busy status

Can anyone provide me with info on the busy status property returned by the info for command?
Under OS 9, I used that to determine if files were busy before attempting to process them.
Now, under OS X, it doesn't seem to be functional, the files are processed even if they really are busy, and the fider throws a message back at me saying so.
Basic scenario (repeated with any PostScript files found in folder):
set busyStatus to busy status of (info for epsFile as alias)
if busyStatus is false then
try
<distill file>
on error
return 10
end try
end if
if exists epsFile then
set busyStatus to busy status of (info for epsFile as alias)
if busyStatus is false then
try
delete epsFile
on error
return 10
end try
end if
end if
The folder being watched is a folder that graphic artists are writing PS files to directly from InDesign.
If the script runs and a PS file is in the process of being written, it still attempts to distill it, and it still attempts to delete it, and the result is a finder error.
I had assumed that the busy status would solve my problem, but it doesn't ever appear to return a true value.
I had also assumed that the try-on error block would catch the finder error and prevent it from displaying the dialog box, but it doesn't appear to.
I have found a few references to the fact that busy status isn't reliable, and may not work at all under OS X. Anyone have any ideas?

We used to use the watched folder feature of Acrobat. We just upgraded our process from OS 9/Acrobat 4 to OS X/Acrobat 7. What Adobe fails to tell you, is that the Standard version of Acrobat doesn't have watched folders. That is now only a feature of the Pro version.
I thought I could avoid paying $150 a copy to upgrade from Standard to Pro, just for that one feature.
I have previously used Applescript to create watched folders for a variety of automation tasks, and never had a problem. Because I have a lot of Applescript processes in place already that rely on being able to determine if a file is busy, I need to figure out how to do it with OS X.

RAZR M reset itself automatically for no apparent reason. Daughter lost all contacts and pictures. She is crushed...Any chance for recovery?

MeAndCoke,
So sorry to hear she has lost all her contacts like that. Sounds like you are saying the device completed a factory reset on it's own. Is that right? I'm afraid unless the contacts and media were backed up somewhere prior to this happening they would be gone. Let's prevent that from occurring in the future and protect your contacts and media! You can set up backup Assistant Plus Contacts to back up your contacts: http://vz.to/1s5IAzj . Use our cloud service to back up your media: http://vz.to/1s5IDv5 .

Hello All...
Back after a brief absence, things look a little bit different.
I'm trying to take a 16 minute mini dv video and compress it for use on the web. I'm interested in any suggestions you may have on settings for the video and audio tracks. I've tried using Sorenson 3 (15 frames, key frames set to automatic, 320 x 240) for video and IMA 4:1 (mono) for audio. The resulting video looked great but the file size came in at about 255 Mb.
Thanks!

Thank you for the replies. Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems. I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work. I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic. When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones. This actually helped. I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems. I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac. I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed. Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else.
If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio.

I am using Numbers app for the ipad and it has been working absolutely fine but now, when I want to email a spreadsheet as a PDF via the 'share and print' option, the file now doesn't appear as an attachment to the recipient. Any ideas please?

Hi mafiose15,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
You can find the instructions in this article:
Restoring iPod to factory settings

All the best,

You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
This will tell you how to restore

You will probably need to use recovery mode

Looks like the Silicon Image drivers were moved to the incompatible software folder during install/upgrade.
Downloaded latest drivers, errored out of install claiming that the drivers were from an unknown author!!!
Emailed their tech support this evening describing problem.

Why does my Airport Express say "self assigned IP address"? No IP address for the ethernet, and it is not connecting to my cable router any longer...

Why does my Airport Express say "self assigned IP address"? No IP address for the ethernet, and it is not connecting to my cable router any longer...

Some cable providers.....like mine, a well known company......seem to take anywhere from a few moments to sometimes up to 30 minutes to allow their equipment back at the cable company to fully reset and issue a new fresh connection.
So, it would not hurt to leave things powered down for 15-20 minutes or more when you perform the reset that John Galt suggests.

Hi All
I have set up a simple custom HCM process and Form regarding Infotype TO CREATE AND CHANGE POSITION. I have checked the process and form consistency and it seems fine. Now when I run the process from HRASR_DT it generates a process number but it also gives an error workflow could not start.I get following error (SWIA log - Step history)

Points to be noted:
1) I have searched few SAP notes such as 1384961(Notes for 6.0.4) but our system is in higher level patch 6.0.5
2) WF-BATCH have SAP_NEW and SAP_ALL authorization.
Appreciate your valuable suggestions.
Thanks

Hi Ragav
did you try to debug this? maybe something is missing in config of P&F?
Since you are on 605, the following note would be there in your system....use it to debug:
1422496 - Debugging background workflow tasks in HCM P&F
This will help you find the root cause.

My Ipad screen is blank except for the service and battery symbols. Any ideas how I can fix this please?

Try restarting
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

Serious problems using for the Airports and any devices like the new iPod or iPad 3 after installing Airport

I know this sounds crazy but I recently installed an Airport express and an Airport Extreme, I worked on it for several days and everything seemed to finally working like it should using manual configurations so it is all right as far as function goes. Later on I found out I had to do a restore on my new IPod and the latest iPad. No other changes were made to the system using snow lepoard 10.6. I tried for several days to restore these devices with no explanation of the problem. I could not use wi-fi or cellular to update any of the devices. Don't ask me why but I shut the computer down and removed every usb device except for the wireless key board that came with the latest iMac system. I made sure everything was the latest version of my applications. It did not affect my DSL or connection to the internet. I even removed the thunderbolt cable so I had 1 usb connection to the computer. The system was setup just like it came out of the box. I brought up iTunes and connected the USB cable to the iPad and selected restore. I had used iCloud to back everything up when I first bought the iPad and iPod. I also made sure iOS 6 was installed. I clicked restore and it loaded without any problem in just a few seconds without having to sync anything. I checked when it was done and it worked exactly like it did when I first bought them from Apple. The only strange thing that happened was I purchased a brand new generation iPod from Apple (which was made in China). I had not installed any apps for several weeks and had no problem with them. This seems crazy to me that you would have to reset he computer to it's original setup in order to restore the latest iPad and iPod software and devices. The only item that I did not have any problem with was the iPhone. Has anyone had this problem? If so how did you deal with it. Was it the airports, made in China the new iOS or the new iTunes that is causing this? gillie70

Try a reboot of your ipad. Hold the Sleep/Wake button and Home button simulataneously. Keep holding, ignoring the red slider, until the Apple logo appears. Release the buttons and let the ipad restart. A reboot often fixes numerous problems.
Also are you aware that by suncing with a different computer it is likely the personal stuff you had on your ipad from your imac will be removed?
The ipad is designed to sync with only one device.

Does anybody know any software for the Mac that I can run round robin, single and double elimination tournaments?

Does anybody know any software for the Mac that I can run round robin, single and double elimination tournaments? I help run tournaments but using excel for pool play and the web for bracket play, but if wifi is not available I have no way of running brackets for prize play. Can some one help point me in the direction of software that I can use locally on my Mac Pro.
Thanks,

have an ipod and then got the wife an iphone4. all passwords are screwed up. she can not access playstore cuz she doesn't have password. i can not get find any help on how to get or update a password for the ipod. and then get her a separate password for her iphone. we need to save her photos, music, etc to ? icloud and the phone stuff to verizon cloud? so when she gets her new Iphone6 she can have all her "stuff" back on the new phone. hope this makes sense. please offer suggestions here or at [email protected] thanks for your help!

Oh no! I'm sorry to see there's a lot of confusion here and data shared, x-rayDon. We can definitely work to fix. This happens when two devices share the same Apple ID, so she will need to reset hers. She can do so by assessing this link Apple - My Apple ID. You will need to decide who will keep the account if want separate Apple IDs since purchases cannot be shared unless you do Family Sharing.
