Concerned about recent change.
I'm an avid supporter of ITunes Music/downloads, and have been trying for years to get more variety listed from other countries (understand the obstacles, unwarranted, but another topic)..
Long story short...
I recently logged into to look at anything new from my selected artists, and come to find they have been deleted from ITunes Listings altogether, or only their 'english' albums are listed now.
I have purchased 100s of titles in the artists native tongue through ITunes US (what little was available from each), and now those same titles (in some cases the artist) are gone. What's going on?
Do I have to find a new music publisher? I have been loyal to ITunes, but this is a HUGE loss for me.
Artists in question:
Koda Kumi, Namie Amuro, Ayumi Hamasaki, Hikaru Utada, BoA
Initially I was thinking it was a label thing (Avex) considering Ayumi, Namie, and BoA share it. I would mention Kumi, but ITunes has always limited her to 1 song for some reason...but it's not a label thing, for Hikaru isn't on Avex, mainly Toshiba EMI, but she bounces...
and it's not a country thing that I can guess, for not all of my artists are gone yet, and I'm not mentioning her cause I don't want you taking her off if it is, LOL.
Seriously, these are HUGE artists, what's going on?

Recent changes to Skype Numbers (Online Numbers)
Hello everyone,
I’m creating this post to explain you recent changes in Skype Number’s (known also as Online Number) functionality.
Last week Skype has enabled recurring payments for Skype Numbers.
So if you use PayPal, Credit Card or other payment method, which has a recurring capability, your number will be renewed automatically.
Some of you, who have more than 30 days to the Number’s expiration date , received an email which informed you that you are on preapproved agreement from now on.
And for those of you, who have less than 30 days to the Number’s expiration (or used payment method which doesn't have a recurring capability), received an email about recent changes. But you are not on the preapproved agreement, (will be when you extend your number next time).
Please have a look at screenshots below:
a) If you are NOT on the payment agreement, you can see “Extend” button.
b) If you are ON the payment agreement, then you see “settings” button, and when you click it you see “cancel your Number” option.
I suggest you all to sign in to your Skype accounts on www.skype.com and check Skype Number’s settings.
Please also be informed that if you decide to cancel the number, you will be actually cancelling just a payment agreement. Number will be active until the end of billing period you have paid for
I hope it is more clear now, and if you still need a help do not hesitate to ask!
If my answer helped to fix your issue, mark it as a Solution to help others.
Thank You!
Please send private messages only upon request.At least you have got a settings button - I can't even see that.
2nd time in 2 days I have had rubbish service from Skype website/support. -
Is there a way to wait until a boolean condition changes (instruction is sent) in a "while loop" (because I want the program run until I press exit button)? Now it is consuming a lot of CPU because it is running the loop very fast waiting for instructions unless I stop the program.
Thank you.Use /functions/time and dialog/wait until next millisecond multiple in the
loop. Input 100ms.

i got an email about recent purchased but i am really concern about that cause i didn't purchase any of them
Beware this is a common phishing scam: you get an authentic-looking email saying your account has been charged - usually a significant amount of money, to get your attention - and "click here" to confirm. Don't do that.
Check your purchase history as King_Penguin wrote. If the purchase does not appear, delete the email and forget about it.

After an "event" on my computer, all of my playlists were deleted. All of my music is still on iTunes on my computer, but I am concerned about synching my idpod, as many hundreds of hours were involved in creating the playlists and I do not want to lose them. Suggestions?
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Update resources/config/messaging-config.xml to reflect the recent changes to throttling code.
Modified Paths:
blazeds/trunk/resources/config/messaging-config.xmlO.k. Thanks for the clarification. I poked around in my TimeCapsule router's settings (TimeCapsule is an Apple Airport Extreme router with attached hard drive for wireless backup/storage). Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can disable multicasting with the TimeCapsule. I can change the multicasting 'rate'. Settings are Low, Medium, High. It's currently set to Low.
I did a few web searches, and found an Apple.com article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3789?viewlocale=en_US> which explained how to disable Bonjour Service Advertisements. I believe this is the same thing as 'Multicasting'. The process is a modification of "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist", and a restart of the Mac is required afterwards.
I'm a bit concerned that disabling multicasting will interfere with my AppleTVs and iTunes music sharing, but I may try it next time I'm up for a computer workout. This task will require editing of system preference files, could require multiple restarts, might interfere with my AppleTVs, could interfere with my iTunes file sharing, doesn't have a documented relationship to my problem.
This is way to difficult for something that should just work. Did you say you had read something about a relationship between this bonjour multicasting and smb connectivity? If it was online could you post the link?
I'm currently able to connect to the drive using NFS, but I have to manually configure that connection each time I reboot (can't get the 'Disk Utility' configured to do it automatically). While it's working with NFS, it's not my preferred connect method (for various reasons). -
Should we be concerned about this?
We were reading about this virus that effects 10.5.6 here.
Should we be concerned about it? How real is it? Thanks.No viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions.
It is possible, however, to pass on a Windows virus to another Windows user, for example through an email attachment. To prevent this all you need is the free anti-virus utility ClamXav, which you can download from:
http://www.clamxav.com/
However, the appearance of Trojans and other malware that can possibly infect a Mac seems to be growing, but is a completely different issue to viruses.
If you allow a Trojan to be installed, the user's DNS records can be modified, redirecting incoming internet traffic through the attacker's servers, where it can be hijacked and injected with malicious websites and pornographic advertisements. The trojan also installs a watchdog process that ensures the victim's (that's you!) DNS records stay modified on a minute-by-minute basis.
You can read more about how, for example, the OSX/DNSChanger Trojan works here:
http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojanosxdnschanger.shtml
SecureMac has introduced a free Trojan Detection Tool for Mac OS X. It's available here:
http://macscan.securemac.com/
The DNSChanger Removal Tool detects and removes spyware targeting Mac OS X and allows users to check to see if the trojan has been installed on their computer; if it has, the software helps to identify and remove the offending file. After a system reboot, the users' DNS records will be repaired.
(Note that a 30 day trial version of MacScan can be downloaded free of charge from:
http://macscan.securemac.com/buy/
and this can perform a complete scan of your entire hard disk. After 30 days the cost is $29.99. The full version permits you to scan selected files and folders only, as well as the entire hard disk. It will detect (and delete if you ask it to) all 'tracker cookies' that switch you to web sites you did not want to go to.)
A white paper has recently been published on the subject of Trojans by SubRosaSoft, available here:
http://www.macforensicslab.com/ProductsAndServices/index.php?mainpage=document_general_info&cPath=11&productsid=174
Also, beware of MacSweeper:
MacSweeper is malware that misleads users by exaggerating reports about spyware, adware or viruses on their computer. It is the first known "rogue" application for the Mac OS X operating system. The software was discovered by F-Secure, a Finland based computer security software company on January 17, 2008
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacSweeper
On June 23, 2008 this news reached Mac users:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/23/mac_trojan/
More information on Mac security can be found here:
http://macscan.securemac.com/
The MacScan application can be downloaded from here:
http://macscan.securemac.com/buy/
You can download a 30 day trail copy which enables you to do a full scan of your hard disk. After that it costs $29.95.
More on Trojans on the Mac here:
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/63574.html?welcome=1214487119
This was published on July 25, 2008:
Attack code that exploits flaws in the net's addressing system are starting to circulate online, say security experts.
The code could be a boon to phishing gangs who redirect web users to fake bank sites and steal login details.
In light of the news net firms are being urged to apply a fix for the loop-hole before attacks by hi-tech criminals become widespread.
Net security groups say there is anecdotal evidence that small scale attacks are already happening.
Further details here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7525206.stm
A further development was the Koobface malware that can be picked up from Facebook (already a notorious site for malware, like many other 'social networking' sites), as reported here on December 9, 2008:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/technology/newsid_7773000/7773340.stm
You can keep up to date, particularly about malware present in some downloadable pirated software, at the Securemac site:
http://www.securemac.com/
There may be other ways of guarding against Trojans, viruses and general malware affecting the Mac, and alternatives will probably appear in the future. In the meantime the advice is: be careful where you go on the web and what you download!
As to the current 'Conficker furore' affecting Intel-powered computers, MacWorld recently had this to say:
http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?email&NewsID=25613
Although any content that you download has the possibility of containing malicious software, practising a bit of care will generally keep you free from the consequences of anything like the DNSChanger trojan.
1. Avoid going to suspect and untrusted Web sites, especially *********** sites.
2. Check out what you are downloading. Mac OS X asks you for you administrator password to install applications for a reason! Only download media and applications from well-known and trusted Web sites. If you think you may have downloaded suspicious files, read the installer packages and make sure they are legit. If you cannot determine if the program you downloaded is infected, do a quick Internet search and see if any other users reported issues after installing a particular program.
3. Use an antivirus program like ClamXav. If you are in the habit of downloading a lot of media and other files, it may be well worth your while to run those files through an AV application.
4. Use Mac OS X's built-in Firewalls and other security features.
5. Stop using LimeWire. LimeWire (and other peer-to-peer sharing applications) are hotbeds of potential software issues waiting to happen to your Mac. Everything from changing permissions to downloading trojans and other malicious software can be acquired from using these applications. -

I recently changed my email on my apple account but the old email address is displayed when I go into iTunes or App Store not allowing me to sign into my account. At some points it's a vicious circle because it asks for a password at key times when trying to correct the problem. Note that the new email address shows when I log into my Apple account and shows it was verified. For some reason the system isn't updating to the new email in ALL places.
I hope this is the right place to post this. Thanks!Apple doesn't monitor here. Best we can do is to push you to contact Apple directly.

My iTunes account has been hacked via Canada according to an email from apple some one in china tried a few weeks ago but failed.
I changed my password a couple time now but it seems that someone has hacked it and downloaded a free game called "game of war fire age" as I said its a free game but the in app purchases can be up to £69.99 per purchase of gold?
This is a worrying thought that my account has been compromised and I am unsure of what to do about it.
I would like to open a new account but would I be able to transfer all my purchases over to a new account any advice is welcome many thanks for your time.i recieved the same email with the same game and it also stated the purchase was from canada i have revieved a few other as well and am concerned i have changed my password a few times now but i still revcieve emails and am very worried. i recieved the email near the date this question had been put up
however i do not know how they are downloading apps as my credit card details need verification when i download anything , any help would be much appreciated. -
Update Multiple Columns when concerned about redo/undo log sizes.
Hi ,
I have update statements that updates multiple columns at once if any of them is changed. What I see that even though the value of column is not changed it still increases the redo size.
Below is a sample code similar to the ones in my code. Basically I check whether there is a difference in any of the columns to be updated and update all of them.
Is there a way to improve redo log size without splitting the update statement for every column that I will be updating. Redo/Undo log size is a concern for us..
For i In 1.rec.Count Loop
Update employees e
Set e.first_name = rec(i).first_name, e.last_name = rec(i).last_name
Where e.first_name != rec(i).first_name
Or e.last_name != rec(i).last_name;
End Loop;My database is 10g.Muhammed Soyer wrote:
Redo/Undo log size is a concern for us..You are worried about the wrong thing.
If you are concerned about the amount of undo and redo, you should be less concerned about the small diffrence between updating 1 or 3 columns and remove the loop that is contributing to a massive increase in both undo and redo.
Re: global temporary table row order
Name Run1 Run2 Diff

STAT...redo size 1,566,136 24,504,020 22,937,884Run2 shows what adding a loop to a regular SQL statement will do to undo and redo. It made the redo used 15 times greater and the undo almost 30 times greater. -
Where to Notify About 301 Change After Conversion to HTTPS
Hello,
My website has an approved Podcast channel. Recently for security and other reasons, we have changed the whole website to HTTPS (managed Rackspace), 301 redirection is working fine plus I can manually Edit the XML file to reflect the changes (changes has been deployed 72 hours ago). Support from Rackspace has suggested me to officially notify for the change over email. I will be much helped if any link or email is provided to help me to notify about the change.
(I am not adding the URL here because it is working with 301 and may be, the question will look like a promotive post.)
Thanks in advance,
AbhishekYou don't have to notify anyone regarding Tunes and the iTunes Store. Once the redirect is in place the Store will update and go to the new feed when it next checks the feed - usually within a couple of days. Subscribers will see the change pretty well immediately.
If you are going to use a 301 you should also add the 'itunes:new-feed-url' tag to the new feed so that iTunes and the Store will permanently redirect to the new feed and not be dependent on the 301.
Full details on this page: http://wilmut.uk/move
However https may not be advisable. It certainly used to be the case that the Store would not handle https - I don't know for certain whether it can now do so, though I've seen some evidence that it can - so you should check this with the 301 (which you can presumably remove) before adding the tag. -
Concerns about 21CN and future systems and protoco...
I don't know if this is the right forum for this topic. Please tell me if it should be somewhere else.
I live in a block of managed "retirement flats for the active retired" - not "care home", please !
As part of the security features, we have a 24/7 electronic emergency "help system" whereby, when we pull a cord in the bathroom or bedroom, for example, we alert a dedicated help centre about sixty or seventy miles away which then provides whatever assistance is required either by talking to us directly or by alerting emergency services locally.
Obviously, this system depends on access to the public telecommunications network in order to work at all.
We have been informed by the management company that our system needs to be replaced as it is now getting too old to maintain. Also, that we will have to pay for it ourselves. Both facts of which we accept.
We have been given two new systems to select from (one called Tunstall Communicall and the other called Tynetec Systems). However, one of the first snags we have run into is one of "future proofing". We have been learning about BT's plans for "21CN" and are concerned about whether any of the two systems we have been given to choose from will continue to function after 21CN comes into effect. Also, whether they will continue to work if BT changes or modifies the specifications for 21CN at any time now or in the future.
Tunstall Communicall claim (repeat, claim) that their system is entirely futureproof by virtue of the fact that they can program into their boxes any protocol that BT (or any other telecomms provider) can throw at them . This, they claim, applies now and in the future.
Tynetec, on the other hand, while claiming (again, claiming) to be fully 21CN compliant, doubt that it is possible for any manufacturer to guarantee to meet every change that BT might throw at them in the future and therefore see no point in trying to guess what BT might do beyond 21CN. As a consequence, they see no point in building this kind of functionality into their systems. Who is telling the truth?
How can we learn more about 21CN in particular -- and BT's plan for its networks in general? Also, will the adoption of Internet Protocols affect the kind of equipment we are planning to invest in? Also, what does 21CN mean to people like us; are its specifications likely to change (and thereby leave us in the lurch) and is it even going ahead at all?
Would it be worthwhile asking the local BT Area Manager in our area to send someone technical to come and talk to us about this? After all, we stand to be forking out more than £24,000 for something that might not work in a few years time - all because of BT.Have a check Here it is a web site to do with the 21cn switch over.
I suspect that your alarm system will work as all it is is dial up telemetry over a pstn line.
To a certain extent 21cn at CPE (customers premises equipment) level will be backwards compatible, there will be many other companies who use this technology, like water and gas company's.
There was a similar issue back in the 80s when BT upgraded their exchanges from analogue to digital (ie Strowger to System X and Y) The majority of phones worked but the older ones would not give you the full range of facility's (pulse dialling and tone dialling)
