Can I choose my own Triple Points Day?

Question as the subject. Is that possible to choose my own triple points day? If it is possible, how? Thanks.

Hello gu015,
I hope that you had a fun Memorial Day weekend.
The only time that 3X points would be available to a member is if we have an ongoing promotional offer, and while we have had "Choose Your Points" promotional offers in the past, a physical coupon was required that would have been sent via email. As of this moment, we have a promotion that is offering 3X points with the purchase of select Canon or Nikon cameras or lenses on BestBuy.com.
With that having been said, you cannot simply choose any random day to earn 3X points. I would strongly encourage you to keep an eye on your email account for My Best Buy™ related emails, including any spam/junk folders. You may also want to periodically login to your My Best Buy™ account and check the forum for program related promotions, as we tend to have new offers each week.
Thank you for posting to the forum and for being a My Best Buy™ member!

Can I choose my own PIN?

hey every one
i want to ask if i can order blackberry with choosing my own pin code !
is it possible ?
thanx ^_^
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No you cannot. You can see if the carrier can give the option of what devices they have in stock, but PINs are on the device itself as an identification number.

Can I tailor my own Sky package?

Hi. I feel I am paying for a lot of channels I don't watch. Several sport channels, music channels etc. Essentially all I need is a couple of the movie channels, sky sports 4 for the golf, disney jr and maybe sky atlantic - all channels in HD. Particularly would like to lose sky sports as not a huge football fan and feel I'm paying others to watch the premiership football. Can I choose my own pack rather than the whole bundle?

T hanksHave you considered NOW TV? It lets you have just the main entertainment channels for, I think, £6.99 per month and that includes atlantic. You can also buy one-off week passes to sky sports to watch the golf on SS4.

Purchased gift cards during 4x choose your points day, did not receive points

Hello:
I purchased gift cards during the 4x choose your points day in June, but the bonus points posted as 0. From the terms, Bonus points are awarded for gift card purchases. Can you have someone contact me to please review and fix. 4X POINTS OFFER:
*My Best Buy Elite Plus members get 4X base points on qualifying purchase. Coupon required. Offer is non-transferable. Bonus points will not be multiplied. Bonus points awarded for Best Buy gift card purchases. No cash value. No copies. May not be combined with other bonus point offers. Limit 1 bonus point offer per membership. Excludes purchases through Pacific Sales/Pacific Kitchen & Home inside Best Buy Stores. Valid 6/02/15–6/27/15 only in Best Buy stores. Thanks,Todd

Hi Todd,
Welcome to the Best Buy forum!
After using the email address you registered with the forum to review your account, I can see exactly why you were awarded zero points for the gift cards you purchased. That reason is actually mentioned in the terms of the "Choose Your Points" coupon that you included in your above post. While the purchase of Best Buy gift cards is usually excluded from bonus points offers, they were not excluded from that coupon; however, it looks like you purchased prepaid Visa gift cards and not Best Buy gift cards, which were still excluded.
If you have any additional questions or if you would like for me to go over your My Best Buy account with you, then please feel free to send me a private message and I will see what I can do to further assist.

Updated to OSX Lion and about 3 days later I can't acces my own website

Updated to OSX Lion and about 3 days later I can't acces my own website from my computer, but it works on other computers. Using a java wordpress site, can't even access my admin panel. Anybody else have this problem. What might have caused this. Even tried reinstall Lion, no success

I can't access my cPanel or just the website itself. I can't access the admin panel for the Wordpress workings either.
And it all worked fine until I updated to Lion.
Any help you can provider would be very helpful. My host is claiming they can access it fine so they aren't able to help. They verified my IP isn't blocked on their end.
And I can access it straight away in Safari.Do you have any anti-virus or third party programs, especially secrity related installed?
Can you access any other sites you regularly go to?
Is your Wordpress program up to date to be compatable with Lion (check developer's site)

CS5 install on case-sensitive file system - can't choose different drive (Mac OS)

I just upgraded my macbook pro to a new drive and 10.6, and chose 'case sensitive' HFSX, 'cause I'm a heavy command line user and wanted the maximum BASH experience.
I'm trying to install the CS5 demo to try some web design tools, and the installer immediately says "Installation to case-sensitive drives is not supported. Please choose a different drive location to install." So case-sensitive drives aren't supported; crappy but fair enough.
The error message leads me to think that I can just choose a non-case-sensitive drive to install to, but I never get a chance to pick one - I click on the installer and it goes straight to the error message.
So - how do I pick a different drive to install to? Am I just an idoit, is there no way to select a different drive, or will it not install on a system that even BOOTS from a c.s. drive, regardless of the format of the drive that CS5 is installed to?
I called the support number, and the poor fellow on the other end suggested I re-download the demo, and if the new download fails call Apple support to report my 'drive error'.
I'm hoping to avoid an entire backup-reformat-restore and lose CLI compatibility just to try some demo software.

That is part of why I would prefer case sensitive by default.   I know some server packages do the folding for you, same as some web servers do not differentiate between 'htm' and 'html' when people type in requests, but most of the time the backend server is going to be case sensitive and it is not safe to assume (or hope) that the service will fix things. Compensating for mistakes is fine, but allowing such silent corruption is not a terribly laudable things and it encourage people be careless.
Every once in a while I do encounter someone submitting some work where their configuration values and file names do not match, and 'well my laptop silently fixes it for me since it does not care' is a poor excuse. And if I sent broken filenames upstream or even worse commit them to be used on a server, that is a pretty significant professional failure.
Back to Adobe specifically, I have been trying the suggestion on poster mentioned in where one installs the Adobe applications to a case insensitive drive then copy over the installed files. This does not quite work out of the box, but for reasons I would be hard pressed to believe are Apple's fault.
For instance the first error I encounter is the inability of Bridge to load:
"@executable_path/../Frameworks/WRServices.framework/Versions/A/WRServices"
When I go look inside the app directories I can see that in Bridge the file has been named 'awrservices', but in Illustrator it is correctly named AWRServices.   So it looks more like a problem in whatever version control they are using. The only way I can picture (which my adminitialy limited knowledge of what I am sure is a large and complex project with all sorts of legacy issues) that the installer toolchain factors in as a problem is if they have mismatches in their own scripts/packaging and have been depending on HFS's bad behavior to hide the problem. I can understand not wanting to invest the time to pay down the technical debt on such an issue, but having such errors in your configuration causes long term headaches.
And I say this as someone who worked on just such a project, moving a software suite that had legacy code stretching back longer than Adobe has existed as a company. This conversion included moving from a case insenstive filesystem to a case sensitive one and yeah, there were lots of problems that the old FAT32 system hid from us, but it really paid off over the long run to fix them rather than try to twist the code to compensate.
Having said that, if the problem is really that they do not want to go update their filenames (in version control or config files), then you can always add folding to your loaders. I have had to do that a few times due to upstream people developing on case insensitive systems and sending data files with incorrect file names. This is an old class of problem, and while I can empathize with the struggles project managers have trying to get approval for paying down technical debt, the problem never gets better on its own and usually gets worse.
Which is why I responded with so much grump to the 'I never needed it' argument since that is exactly the type of customer comment that marketing tends to point to in order to push such things off the schedule. This is the type of thing where the customer does not really know what they want because they are already accustomed to broken behavior and most of the problems are hidden from their immediate view. It is easy to cover up the limitations since modern UI (and their search capabilities) can handle this.
It is not just arcane developers stuff, and it is the same transition that people have made with things like spaces, quotes, and parentheses, where years ago users believed they had no need for them since they were not using them, but they were only not using them because they did not work.   Today try to tell a modern user they can not put (, ", ) or even ' ' in their filenames and they would rightly question why this piece of obvious functionality is not working since today they are used to it working and no longer automatically compensate for it.
I also find it ironic that by default OSX hides a number of file extensions, so from the user's perspective you can have multiple files with the exact same name displayed to them, so you can get display issues where 'foo' is the same as 'foO' if both have .txt, but 'foo' and 'foO' are not the same if one has .txt while the other is .pdf. Add to this confusion cases like 'foo.txt' and 'foo.pdf" both being shortened to 'foo'.

Can't choose bootable partition at startup

Apart from what I'm about to say, my system is working just fine. It boots up quickly, loads the desktop, and runs all apps snappily. It receives regular maintenance with both TechTool Pro 4 and Diskwarrior with no issues.
When I attempt to boot up from my new Maxtor bootable partition by holding down the option key on start up, it doesn't show up as a choice (firewire of course). I can only see the main HD as well as my Techtool pro edrive. However, the animated watch icon that appears while it loads whatever it needs to before a choice can be made now never stops and no choice can be made this way at all!
But if I boot up into the main HD as normal, choose 'startup disk' from system prefs, I can see the bootable partition just fine, and can choose to restart from it - which I've done successfully.
Running FSCK in single user mode reveals no problems, but, since installing the Maxtor files, before single user mode finishes installing, I get this:
USB optical mouse: family specific matching fails
USB drive: family specific matching fails
Each shows up 10 or 12 times as it tries to make the match. There are others in the list but they scroll too quickly to make a note of.
It also shows:
Com.Maxtor.IOPowSec.00 overriding init
So suspecting the Maxtor files had something to do with it I uninstalled them and restarted with/without the drive attached. The 'family specific' issues disappeared as well as the 'Com.Maxtor.IOPowSec.00 overriding init' . Instead I get these three:
Com.apple.driver.keylargoATA
Com.apple.driver.pioneersuperdrive
Com.apple.driver.itunesphonedriver
has no kernal dependency
Holding the option key on startup still doesn't show the maxtor, and I still can't choose from the drives that do appear.
When I boot into the main HD, the Maxtor shows up on the desktop as normal even though the driver files are gone (it's obviously plug & play anyway) and whatever this lack of kernal dependency is, nothing appears to be affected in the Mac's normal use.
Sorry for the lengthy explanation but I'm hoping somebody can shed some light on what might be happening.

Yes, I'm at a loss here. sudo wants /var/run/sudo to be owned by root and writable only by root, but yours is OK, so I really don't understand what the meaning of those error messages could be in your case.
The only thing I can suggest at this point is to enable the root user in NetInfo Manager (Security > Authenticate..., then Security > Enable Root User), log in as root, and issue the commands there (without the sudo prefix, which is not needed when logged in as root):
bless --info "/Volumes/<MaxtorVolumeName>/" --verboseWhat does the output of this command say?
bless --setBoot --folder "/Volumes/<MaxtorVolumeName>/System/Library/CoreServices"
Regardless of whether this helps you to fix the bootable Maxtor partition problem, there is something awry going on here and at this point I would start considering an Archive and Install, unless someone more knowledgeable than me knows how to fix it (it should be fixed). Just out of curiosity, after having enabled the root user in NetInfo Manager, try to run the following command in your administrator user account:
sudo -vDoes it still output those error messages?

Content tab in Options..."Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above" and it's box disappeared from my options...I need it back...

I was having problems with some sites having such faded lettering that I couldn't even read them. So I unchecked the box for "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above". That screwed EVERYTHING up...backgrounds on websites are gone and buttons are hardly recognizable on some pages (including this one). I went back to re-check that box, and that option is no longer in the menu...the whole sentence and it's associated check box are completely gone. I even tried tabbing through to see if I just couldn't see them, and nothing. Absolutely disappeared. I also tried checking and unchecking the same box under the "advanced" button settings and that made a difference on how web pages looked, but did not fix the problem...Help???

Did you look here?

Can we create our own loops? Basic question.

Hi,
Can we create our own loops in Logic Pro. I see in all the tutorials. They are either taking input from external instruments OR use existing apple loops.
I have tried FL studio demo to create our own loops. But there is no trial version for Logic Pro. Need your inputs before I purchase it.
Thank you.
Anji

Yes you can!
It is as simple as selecting a Region (optional trimming recommended) and choose the Export command.
A Dialog window opens up that lets you enter the metadata
Apple had its separate "Apple Loop Utility" app (now only available in the developer package) that allowed you to create loops in a standalone app. The built-in loop capability in Logic uses part of that engine.
Hope that helps

I do not see where to enter IP addresses in the Open VPN setup. Also, how can I set it up so that I can choose different servers in the same way as I can currently choose them with my VPN app but for PPTP?

I think I have it working on my iPhone 5. But, I do not see how I can control the exit point that I would like for the VPN. Are all the exit points shown in the VPN setting now going to work with Open VPN, or do they remain PPTP? If I am reading correctly, they look like they remain PPTP. If I cannot control the exit point for open VPN, which exit point is the default in the profile you provided me?I note that Open VPN Connect does not work with any of the new 64 bit devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the new iPad MIni. Is there any chance that you guys will come up with an update for your app so that open VPN can be made to work on all iOS devices? That would be nice, particularly if the Open VPN Connect app does not give me a choice of exit points.Thanks,

Just a quick note to tell you that Open VPN has updated their app so that it is compatible with 64 bit ARM devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the iPad Mini Retina.That does not resolve the problem of how to easily choose among the various possibilities for the exit server. We need to find an easy way to choose.

Thank you for trying the new Firefox. I'm sorry that you’re unhappy with the new design.
I understand your frustration and surprise at the removal of these features but I can't undo these changes. I'm just a support volunteer and I do not work for Mozilla. But you can send any feedback about these changes to http://input.mozilla.org/feedback. Firefox developers collect data submitted through there then present it at the weekly Firefox meeting
I recommend you try to adjust to 29 and see if you can't make it work for you before you downgrade to a less secure and soon outdated version of Firefox.
Here are a few suggestions for restoring the old design. I hope you’ll find one that works for you:

When "allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above" is un-checked in the options menu, I am unable to see images on websites. How do I maintain having the box un-checked and still view images?

I recently decided to switch the colors around in Firefox. I work in a pretty dark environment and having dark colored text on white or bright backgrounds is rather difficult on my eyes in the dark.
I switched the background to a dark gray, the text to a light gray and both visited and unvisited links to a light blue. Along with these changes, I unchecked the "allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above" box.
After unchecking the box, I am no longer able to view images on many websites. The images all turn gray - as if Firefox has changed their image into part of the background. When I check the box, I am able to see images fine, however, the websites usually revert back to their bright backgrounds with dark text.
Any help and assistance with this is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Firefox option "Allow Website to choose their own font/color" fails in High Contrast

On Windows 8.1 and Firefox 32, the option to Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above" Fails completely if Windows 8 is using a High Contrast Theme.
Regardless of the Windows Theme, Firefox should allow pages to use their designed colors otherwise problems will exist on a number of sites. Including the Mozilla.org page.
With the Allow Pages... turned on, it should look like this:
http://yosemitelandscapes.com/temp/correct.jpg
Instead the Windows High Contrast is forced upon the web site:
http://yosemitelandscapes.com/temp/incorrect.jpg
For reference Chrome does this correctly which has forced me to switch to the Chrome Browser until a fix is issued for this problem.
NOTE: This is not the same problem people reported where High Contrast did not function in Firefox 29. But I think it may be related to the fix.
I have tried "reverse logic" and turned these options on and off to see if the behavior changed. Pages refreshed and even closed and reloaded. I can find no way to work in High Contrast Themes and allow pages to show up normally in Firefox 32.
I much prefer the security and design of Firefox. Help us please!!!

That's a painful example. I don't have access to Windows 8/8.1 myself, but I suspect this is by design, as I have seen other screenshots from users using high contrast dark themes that did not have background colors and images.
Firefox 32 contains a change from this bug: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1042625 Bug 1042625 - Page should be drawn in accordance with the high contrast themes]. The testing (and a comment in the patch) refers to solving a problem on Windows 7, but apparently Windows 8 also was affected.
I don't know whether there is a workaround to tweak what is and isn't displayed in the page with a high contrast theme.
