  • After recent Verizon upgrade, my music files are messed up.  Used to be able to see all artists.  Now only some artists display and there's one giant file of "unkown".  Why would that change affter the upgrade?

    Prior to March, 2015 upgrade, all my music appeared by Artist.  After the March, 2015, upgrade, about half of my music appears by Artist and then there's one giant "unknown" file.  Why would this change with the upgrade?  Makes my music unsearchable unless I want to search by the song name or album name. 

    You can try an app like Album Art in the Play Store and it will take any tag info and find and sort music.  Should work unless the music files were altered during update, in that case you'd need to remove those files and re-add them to the phone.

  • Understanding the upgrade policy

    I came to the forums for the first time in quite awhile to ask a question about a laptop. Have had little time the past months to work in Photoshop. Now I find there out about the new upgrade policy and find different opinions on what the new policy is. (I've also discovered that the forums have a whole new look!)
    I have CS5. Is it true that I can wait untll the end of 2012 to upgrade to CS6 to get the upgrade price of 199.00, (or maybe Adobe will change that also?)
    I think I understand that I can't skip 6 and wait for 7 to upgrade. I don't really mind as long as I can wait until the year's end because I don't like to be an early upgrader. I might have skipped this upgrade, because this time there seems fewer features of interest, but I have always found some new and useful things each time.
    Anyhow, I am thinking of auditing a college class in art this year (an accredited college.) so I think that means I could get a copy of InDesign, CS6, Illustrator and Acrobat. I've wanted Indesign, but as an amature coudn't justifiy it. The price wouldn't be much more than upgrading CS6. (With the cost of the class it will be quite a bit more.) But then I am unable to transfer my license (sell) the bundle later? My current CS5 might or might not be saleable? (not if Adobe can find a way to stop it.). So if I can't work on my PC anymore (age) or die (my heirs) are stuck with useless software?
    Would I be able to sell/give my current copy of CS5 if I buy the educational bundle?
    It's all so confusing. I will likely get CS6 anyhow, but maybe will stop then and just use what I have which I haven't begun to learn all of anyhow.
    Hope I made the quesions clear in my chatter. Especially: do I have until the end of 2012 to decide? And can I not  sell my current CS5, or the educational bundle at any time if I join the class and buy the package? Did I miss anything - there is so much new!
    Thanks, I guess I'll ask my other question now.

    You seem to have a confidence in Adobe that is not supported by their recent record.

    Adobe suits have taken their customer for granted for quite some time.  Take their disastrous outsourcing of customer and tech support to India, and the contempt with which they treat us there and even in these forums.  Their recent record of pushing unripe, buggy software out the door is nothing short of appalling.

    Who are these "competitors" of whom you speak?   I'd love to be "usurped" by them  —rather than continue to be screwed by Adobe.

    Adobe has been innovating since it began so it's deeply embedded in their DNA.
    Here you speak of the Adobe of the 1980s, which no longer exists.
    During the Bruce Chizen era they degenerated into a third-rate corporate raider, as evidenced by their ill-thought "acquisition" of the Macromedia white elephant which in reality turned out to be the Macromediatization of Adobe into an unresponsive bureaucracy.  Just like Macromedia had acquired Fontographer only to let it languish, the macromediatized Adobe bought out Visual Infinity only to kill their unequaled suite of film grain management, GrainSurgery 2.  For these reason alone, GrainSurgery 2, I will continue to run Photoshop CS4 until I give up the ghost.
    Nobody needs to be reminded of Freehand, part of the Macromedia merger and a casualty abandoned by Adobe.
    The innovators are now irrelevant to the Adobe bureaucracy.

  • How do I Change the Name of My MacBook and Why was it Changed after the Upgrade to Yosemite?

    Hi everyone,
    I upgraded my MacBook Air (2012) to Yosemite a few months back and it changed the name of my Mac from "Alan's MacBook" to "Alan MacBook Air (2)." I simply want to know how to change it back to the original name. Also, why was it changed in the first place after my upgrade to Yosemite?
    Thank you so much!!!
    Alan

    This was a common bug in Yosemite. Follow dwb's instructions but also restart your router. Make sure you're running OS X 10.10.2 since it was supposed to have been addressed with that update.
    I have heard allegations regarding simultaneous use of both Wi-Fi and Ethernet (or equivalent adapter, considering it's a MBA) but can find no justification for them, and I never personally observed any correlation to it. It's perfectly acceptable to use both.

  • Did they change the upgrade policy?

    Now it says, on apple's site, that you can only upgrade from Logic 5 and 6, or 7 but ONLY if you bought 7 on or after 8/1?!?!?!
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wo/StoreReentry. wo?productLearnMore=MA797LL/A
    so what about all the rest of us who shelled out $1000 for Logic Pro 7 before August 1st?
    I don't get it.

    No, but it's misleading.
    The Logic Studio overview mentions at the end:
    "The U.S. retail price of Logic Studio is $499. Owners of Logic Pro 5, 6, or 7 can pur-
    chase an upgrade for $199; owners of Logic Express 6, 7, or 8 or Logic Audio 5 or 6 can
    upgrade to Logic Studio for $299.2"

  • What is the upgrade policy?

    I can't seem to find a straight answer on this SAP behemoth.  We have Crystal Server XI R2 and wonder if our tech support/maintenance covers upgrade to 2008?  Any straight answers someone can give me about how their support/maintenance is structured would be appreciated.

    Hi Patrick,
    Yes, we definately support migration to 2008 from Crystal Server XI R2. You can log a ticket with SAP regarding your technical issue and after which you will be able to get technical support from us.
    Hope this helps you!

  • Does the end of the year upgrade policy also include just Photoshop?

    I understand CS3 and CS4 are eligible for upgrades to CS6 until the end of the year, but what about upgrading from PS4 to PS6? I normally upgrade to every version, but due to being layed up for 8 months with a knee injury money is extremely tight, so I was planning to wait and upgrade from CS4 to CS6. I heard about the new (now old) upgrade policy so I upgraded to CS5 a few days ago. Now I see that Adobe changed the upgrade policy again. Now I'm wondering if I can return CS5 and wait to upgrade to CS6 later in the year when I have more cash flow.

    Hi Coldrake
    Yes, all CS3 and CS4 products, whether they're a suite or stand-alone product, like Photoshop, as a one-off arrangement this year only, can wait 'til December 31st 2012 to upgrade directly to CS6... of course, we don't know how much that will cost!
    Thank you, pf22, that answers my question perfectly. I'd love to keep PS5, especially with the discount, but as I said, after being off work for so long, money is extremely tight at the moment and will be for the next couple of months.
    Of course we also have the "Grace Period" coming up where you could purchase the CS5 upgrade and get CS6 for free
    It looks like it's going to be a few months before PS6 will be coming out, so I may be able to swing that, thank you for an excellent suggestion.
    Thank you Noel for covering all the bases! I don't have the suite, just Photoshop.
    Thanks for both of your replies, they are greatly appreciated.

  • Change upgrade policy!

    First off, I have only had the iPhone for a few weeks and I think it is the best phone I have ever seen. My primary concern is the yearly new iPhone release Apple puts out. If you are going to make a new iPhone yearly, I think Apple should allow their customers to get a discounted upgrade yearly as well. Limit it to older iPhone to newer iPhone only. Require a new 2 year deal every time, with the exception of the yearly trade in of older iPhone to newest iPhone. This will keep customers addicted to their iPhones for many, many years, keeping their eyes off the Androids and other smart phones as they come out with new releases and features. I really enjoy my iPhone 4, but when the iPhone 5 comes out, I will really want to enjoy that as well. I'll pay another $300 to upgrade, I'm just not going to pay $1,000 for it. Plus, when 4G LTE comes out over the majority of the Verizon network, I will definitely want a 4G LTE capable phone. Cell phone networks add updates so frequently, 2 years is a very long time to stick with 1 phone. Apple, please give us the capability of upgrading our iPhones yearly as you release your new phones! I'll sign as long a contract to keep an iPhone as you want if you allow me to upgrade to a new iPhone at the discounted price every year!

    The upgrade policy is determined by the carrier, not Apple. AT&T treats iPhones as they would any other phone (smartphone, technically) with regards to plans, subsidies, and contracts, and I'm pretty sure the same goes for Verizon.
    EDIT: You see, you aren't really getting a discount at all. It's more of a loan. You will pay back your carrier the subsidy that they provided by paying your monthly bill over the course of your 2-year contract. The larger your monthly bill, the faster your carrier gets paid back the money it "fronted" for you that gave you the opportunity to buy the iPhone from Apple at such a low price. This is why many customers become eligible for an upgrade before their 2 year contract is up. Again, the carrier provides this subsidy, not Apple. If you were to buy the iPhone outright (hardware only, no contract or cell service) it would cost hundreds of dollars more.
    The subsidy is an incentive for the customer to buy new phones from the carrier's providers, and the 2-year contract is insurance for the carrier to keep the customer and his/her monthly bill. It's a win-win for the carrier and the cellphone manufacturers/providers.

  • Process Chain behavior changed after SP upgrade

    Hi all, we've recently updated SP from SAP_BW 700, SAPKW70016 to SAPKW70021.
    We realized about a particular process chain behavior:
    We have many process chains configured to execute the next step "Always" (whatever it happens with the previous process).
    This is the situation which changed:
    BEFORE the upgrade:
    If error raises on a process, this one remains "red" but the subsequent processes continues.
    Once repaired (repeat/repair from the PC) the "crashed" process it is updated to "Green" status.
    AFTER the upgrade:
    If error raises on a process, this one remains "red" but the subsequent processes continues.
    Once repaired (repeat/repair from the PC) the "crashed" process it is updated to "Green" status.
    The remaining processes are executed once again (a new branch is generated). <- This is different
    I want the "BEFORE the upgrade" behavior to keep working as always.
    Do you know if there's some OSS note or tips of configs available to set this as my needs? (we have found the OSS Note 1398868 and implemented it, but the "effect" is not as we should expect for this case in particular).
    I hope you can help. Thanks in advance and best regards,
    Bernardo

    I've found the OSS note: Note 1473491 - Chain not continued with termination and "ALWAYS" link; delivered with "SAPKW70025" corrections. It seems to be solving the issue I've originally mentioned. I'll perform some tests on this and update.
    Regards,
    Bernardo

  • AT&T's representative's view of upgrade policy

    I just spoke to an AT&T representative (2 actually) and this is what I was told regarding the upgrade policy. I bought the original iPhone 11/2007, then upgraded to 3G on launch day with no subsidized pricing. I want to upgrade to 32GB 3GS, but cannot until 03/12/2010. I called to ask why and was told that since my line bills less than $99.00 a month I am not eligible until then. I either have to pay $499 with new contract or $699 without. I have 3 iphone lines and 2 non-iphone lines on my plan. The $220.00 a month charges are listed on one of the non-iphone lines, because I was told that's how it had to be done when I opened my account. I spend over $400 a month for my service on 5 phones, and they still will not give me the $299 price. Both reps told me it was Apple that set the prices not AT&T. (Which I think is complete BS.) I am REALLY upset that I cannot get the $299 price. I wanted to upgrade 2 phones. Now I am not doing either one. Apple just lost 2 3GS sales because of AT&T's policies.

    The 3G was subsidized and you have to either pay the early termination fee or get within a few months of your contact expiring before you can get another iPhone at the subsidized price. AT&T is not doing anything the other carriers are not doing. I used to be with Verizon Worthless and they did the same thing, except they were ruder about it when you asked for an early upgrade.

  • How to change replication manager ack policy?

    Hello all
    I have installed my Berkley_db and I enabled replication using the following command:
    -enable-pthread-api
    Now, I would like to change my replication manager ack policy and perform some tests.
    I know that I have to use this method:
    repmngr_set_ack_policy
    However, I don't know how to call the above method...
    Shall I insert an entry in a specific file?
    Shall I give it as a command line?
    I must note that I replicate some data in other three servers. The change of the ack policy will automatically work and affect all three servers or will I have to perform the changes manually on every one of them?
    Thank you in advance!
    Edited by: user546168 on 10 Δεκ 2011 1:13 πμ

    Hello,
    You can read about:
    DB_ENV->repmgr_set_ack_policy() at:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_02/html/api_reference/C/repmgrset_ack_policy.html
    A few points to note are:
    0. You can set the ack policy programmatcially or via an environment
    DB_CONFIG file. If using a DB_CONFIG enter "repmgr_set_ack_policy"
    a blank space and the ack_policy parameter required. For example:
    repmgr_set_ack_policy DB_REPMGR_ACKS_ALL
    A DB_CONFIG file is read when the database environment is opened,
    so it will overrule any configuration done before that time.
    1. All sites in a replication group need to be configured with the
    same acknowledgement policy.
    2. The DB_ENV->repmgr_set_ack_policy() method configures the database
    environment, not only the operations performed using the specified
    DB_ENV handle.
    3. You can invoke DB_ENV->repmgr_set_ack_policy() method at any time
    during the life of the application.
    Thank you,
    Sandra

  • Leaving Adobe products because of upgrade policy

    My spouse and I spent big bucks for the creative suite CS3 a few years ago and now cannot upgrade and need to buy new to get the latest version. OK we got a few years of use for our bucks but even if we had CS5 we could'nt upgrade! Wow!
    And if we buy new now we will need to spend money again in 2 years or have to buy new again after that.
    We are double-income-no-children and could afford to spend money on an upgrade. But we don't like feeling taken advantage of. We are not professional photographers, so this is pure discretionary spending.
    My spouse already has Nikon Capture (we have the money to buy Nikon) and just downloaded Gimp which should be good enough for a hobby. 
    We will deal with a little less convenience and quality in the software rather than be insulted by obnoxious corporate behavior. 
    Inputting in the forum seemed to be the only way to communicate since the web site does not seem to favor user interaction exactly beyond what it wants.
    You have lost us as customers.

    Your advice could be useful if I wanted to invest in cloud computing but I just made the choice to invest in a PC tower with a graphic card. I don't feel comfortable with paying cloud computing yet. I love it for MOOCs. But it sort of makes you a permanent ($) client and your performance is hostage to what they want to give you in the cloud. The cloud is a technical achievement but it is also marketing.
    For your info, I am not kidding about Gimp. Here is the Syllabus of a MOOC class I am enrolled in on Coursera, the median section being about Photoshop... or Gimp as an alternate (https://class.coursera.org/cdt208-001/wiki/view?page=syllabus). All exercises can be done with Gimp. I wanted the upgrade for HDR but Gimp has a plug-in for that. I don't know how well it works though.
    Perhaps I will still buy Photoshop if I can get it at a competitive price, maybe through work. Of course Photoshop is better. I do think there is a valid point about the upgrade policy. Adobe is saying we have a monopoly. I'm an IT programmer not a pro photographer or graphic artist, so people like me count and it's my money.

  • Bluetooth protocol changes with iPhone upgrade to 3.0 for hearing aid?

    I have hearing aid (Phonak) along with the iCom device that connects my aids to my iPhone via bluetooth (allows me to hear calls in both ears and be handsfree too). I upgraded to 3. now every time I read my email (no phone use), I get the audible beeps indicating a changing of my hearing aid settings and somewhat interferes with the quality of the sound. I never had this issue before. I have reset the iPhone, removed and reattached/discovered the iCom adapter. So I am wondering if the bluetooth protocol was changed with the upgrade?

    Yes I have a first gen iphone and have not had any problems with any of the new firmware upgrades, until this one.
    However it was a simple issue that I believe was related to the activation server. At the end of the update process the phone is supposed to restart then contact the activation server and re-activate. Instead mine hung up at this point and I got an error that itunes could not connect to my phone.
    To fix it I disconnected the phone, restarted the phone and itunes, reconnected the phone and it activated itself and it has worked flawlessly ever since. Do it, the improvements are well worth the effort. I especially like the landscape keyboard in email.

  • HT1752 I both one Mac Pro 15" March 2009  and five month ago I have to change the harddrive and put some actional memories, since I have to make the upgrade for Lion IOS. Now the motherboard fails. What should I do or expect from Apple to solve this probl

    Hi everyone. I both a Mac Pro 15" in March 2009. Five month ago I  was forced to buy by one new hard drive and extent the memory, because I had to make the upgrade (and pay) to install the new Lion operation system. Four days ago the Mother-board fails. To change it will cost a fortune. What should I do or expect from Apple to solve this problem? I am very disappointed because my trust on Apple was destroyed.

    I am not sure why you are upset with Apple. Electronics equipment does fail. If the product is out of warranty or you do not have AppleCare there's not much you can do with Apple. Apple will charge you for the repair. Suggest you look for a third party repair store since they are usually less expensive than Apple. Alternatively you can buy one for about $850US and install it yourself. Sorry, but there aren't many choices in this situation.

Maybe you are looking for
