Feature-Request: Ignore or disable updates that are flagged "allowedOffline=false"

Updates (packages in MDT terms) that contain 'allowedOffline="false"' in their update.mum file will make the OS installation stop in the offline servicing phase (KB2533552 is an example). Wouldn't it be reasonable to check this flag when importing the
updates and disable the package in MDT or even refuse to import? Would make my workflow "grab all the updates *.cab detected by Windows Update from the SoftwareDistribution\Download folder and import them in MDT" a lot easier.

+1,000 I agree 100%. This is something simple that should be implemented into MDT.
I just upgraded my capture deployment share and was really really hoping that this would have been implemented by now.

Why can't I access the updated that are pending on my phone?

Why can't I access the updated that are pending on my phone? I've turned the phone off and also closed all the apps. But still won't allow me to access the updates. Just a blank screen.

Another post is reporting that applying the 6.1 update fixes their issue. I'll have to wait until I am back on WiFi to try that.

Their is two new Updates that are the same for the OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5, except one has {Combo}. Which one do i download? The info on them are the same.

It appears Apple’s download servers are ‘overwhelmed’ today. I couldn’t download the newest iTunes update or IOS 7 and there are a lot of discussions today about not being able to download. One poster said they had chatted with App Store support who confirmed the problem.

Impact on using function modules that are flagged as obsolete

Hi Gurus,
I'm working on a SAP 4.7 instance and we are soon to be going Unicode enabled. I noticed when running transaction UCCHECK that there are a number of function modules such as "POPUP_TO_CONFIRM_WITH_MESSAGE" and "POPUP_TO_DECIDE" as well as others that are flagged as obsolete, I'm not sure why these are not picked up in UCCHECK. However, can someone tell me what the impact would be if these obsolete functions were left as is and not changed?
Thanks in advance
C

Thanks for your responses, I agree with you both.
my view was that after we go unicode enabled all function modules that are flagged for deletion will still perform as they do now, however, as Praveen says this may not be the case in later versions.
Thanks

Email folder for flagged items says there are emails that are flagged; but when I view the flagged items folder, there is nothing there

I've got some emails that are flagged red. In the email folders pane, the red flag folder says there are 14 of them. However, when I click on the folder, there is nothing there. I've tried changing the view settings lots of different ways and can't seem to be able to figure out why I can't view items that Mail says are there. Any suggestions?

Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

Where are the updates that are not installed?

If you do not install the updates, were are they? I had download automatic on and so there are a lot of install already donwloaded but not installed, where are they stored? Every update makes my computer more and more slower in starting up so now I am forced to do a complete reinstall. This never happenend to me when I was using my old g4.

If you don't install an update then it isn't downloaded. If you select the option to save and not install then the installer file will be saved. Otherwise nothing is saved on your drive. The next time you use Software Update the uninstalled updates will simply reappear.

SCCM - How can we sync old software updates that are older than two, three years. I would like to know even if that is possible

Hi All,
Is it possible to sync older updates in the SCCM 2007 R2?. If yes than can some one share the links or any information on the same. That would be really helpful.
Regards,

Hi,
SCCM 2007 will synchronize all updates that you can deploy, that is not superseeded or expired, There is no way to deploy an update that is expired. In Configuration Manager 2012 you can control when a superseeded update is expired, in SCCM 2007
you cannot.
If you need to deploy an update that is superseeded or expired I would recommend that you download it manually and deploy it as a package instead.

Feature Request: Import Sidecars When Updating PSE 8 Catalog

I am working to get a usable Lightroom catalog when updating from PSE 8. I have tens of thousands of raw files, several thousand video files in the catalog, almost all of which have an accompanying THM and/or XMP file in the same Windows folder as the photo or video file. PSE, of course, doesn't deal with sidecars, but I would have expected Lightroom to check for the sidecar, just as it does with a regular import of those files. Or at least allow you to ask it to discover sidecars from the library menu after the catalog has been updated.
I would re-import the files to get the metadata from the sidecars, but then I would lose all the tags, captions and other metadata I've built up in the PSE catalog. Lightroom doesn't give the option to "Read Metadata from File" for video files, but when I use on my raw files, it does not attempt to discover any existing sidecar files. The XMP sidecars would be especially helpful because they contain the PSE data (including date/time changes, keywords, etc.) for both raw and video files as written out by PSEDBtool from John Ellis.
If multiple sidecars are available for a file (e.g. both a THM and an XMP), I would hope that Lightroom would read both in date order, and apply the metadata in that order. That is, if the THM is older, read and use that metadata, and then read the XMP, updating any data supplied in that file, so that we get the benefit all all the data available. In the cases above, there is a lot of camera data in the THM for the video files that is not in the AVI, MOV or XMP files, so I wouldn't want to lose that.

John - Thanks for your helpful responses. A couple answers to your questions:
I do have XMP sidecars for my raw (and video) files, courtesy of psedbtool. In addition, most of my raw (and video) files have a .THM file associated with them from the camera itself. I have done very little with ACR in PSE 8, so I don't believe I have any XMP files from that source.
After converting my PSE 8 catalog to LR 3, I do not see any sidecar extensions in the LR 3 metadata pane, which is leading me to believe that LR 3 has ignored both the XMP and THM sidecars (I would have expected to see both listed). If I instead import the raw files directly, rather than through the PSE 8 catalog upgrade, then I see both XMP and THM sidecars listed in the EXIF metadata pane. For raw files, I can't be sure that the sidecars are not being read, because the camera data in them is duplicated in the raw file, and other data such as keywords may be coming straight from the PSE catalog.
By analogy, when I import video files with sidecars directly into LR, the sidecar metadata (both THM and XMP) is definitely imported to LR from the sidecars because that data does not exist in the video file, but it shows up in the LR metadata panel. If I instead upgrade the PSE catalog containing the videos, only the bare-bones file data comes in with the video files - none of the EXIF data from the sidecars comes in. LR doesn't even set a valid capture time for sorting in the grid view.
So I am drawing a conclusion that the PSE sidecar raw behavior is the same as the video behavior in this case. John - are you seeing sidecar extensions in the metadata panel in LR from imported raw files?
Thanks!
Jon

Where to submit a feature request concerning an application (Mail) that doesn't appear in the feedback section?

Hello.
I (and I suppose many others) have a very, very obvious and needed feature to request about Mail.app. As far as I understand, usually such requests go into the feedback section (http://www.apple.com/feedback/). But while even iCal appears on that page, Mail.app doesn't—a fact as bizarre and incomprehensible as the lack of the feature to request. (Namely: Mail allows to set rules for outgoing messages, but it doesn't execute them (obviously a coding error, one that persists since the very first version of Mail. If Mail isn't supposed to allow rules concerning outgoing messages, then it's a mistake to make setting such rules possible; but can anyone think of a sensible reason to disallow such rules?). This is very, very annoying, and it's equally annoying that apple fails to include this application into the feedback page. It's almost like they don't want us to use it.)
Well. Anybody any idea how to get this through to them?
Thanks.

You can submit feedback for the application to the operating system feedback as a start, that is, submit to the Mac OS X that you are using.
One does wonder why there is not a separate category for something as heavily used as mail, but...

HT4623 Can I update 3 iPhones with the latest software update that are all on thr same iTunes account?

I kept all my iPhones after I upgrading to the latest one each time my 2 year contract was up so I have an iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 & iPhone 4S. I actually still use all 3 phones for different purposes. My iphone 3gs is not activated, but I still use it for apps among other things when connected to wifi. My iphone 4 & 4s are both activated with 2 saparete phone numbers, but I have all 3 devices on the same iTunes account. I never noticed this to be a problem until just recently when I was thinking about selling one of my iphones since I'm now due to upgrade again to the iPhone 5. Well my problem is that when the latest iphone software update came available I noticed that all 3 iPhones had a notification letting me know that there was a new update available & I didn't want to update my iphone 4 & 4S until I had a recent back-up on my pc just incase anything went wrong like once before. Referring to the last time I updated my iphone 4s for some reason right in the middle of the update it lost connection. So I had to restore my entire phone from scratch & because I didn't check to make sure that had a recent back up right before I updated I ended up losing a lot of important information. So anyway since my iphone 3GS I knew had a recent back up & plus it doesn't have a lot of important information stored on it I chose to go ahead & update it first. Then later on when I went to update my other two iPhones I noticed the notification that was there before on all my phones to let me know the update was available was now gone & it would not give me the option to update either of my other two phones. I don't know if this is true or not, but I was later told that Apple will only let you download the free update software on only one device on each iTunes account & since I have all 3 devices on one itunes account I could only choose to update one. I didn't know this beforehand so I used the update on my 3GS which I barely use except to play with on wifi & now my other two iPhones which are the main ones I use are both activated now function very slow & constantly crash. Also if I was to choose to sale one of the iPhones without the latest software update on it does that mean that the new owner will not be able to get the latest update meaning the phone would be out of date without having that latest software installed? If anyone knows how to help me fix this or give some advice I would really appreciate!!

That's utter non-sense.
Just connect your 4 & 4S, iTunes running, & hit the "Check for Updates" button, or you can update directly on the phones(if running iOS 5.0 or higher): Settings>General>Software Update.
iOS 6.1.3 is the current iOS version for both phones.

How do I get updates that are not mine not to show up in mac app store?

I have updates in my updates in the mac app store that will not go away and they are not mine. They are someone else's that have someone else's apple ID. It is just a little strange that just all the sudden they pop up about two days ago. It is sort of annoying that these updates will not go away. Any help is well appreciated. Thanks!

Hi...
Unfortunately, it sounds like you are subject to pirated software.

Feature Request Desktop Client: Disable Automatic Sync Over Cellular

Hello,
it is possible to implement the a similar function for windows client like on ipad / android?
Our sales-team members are often online over cellular network, only in the evening they use wifi / lan. The problem is, there is a download-limit over cellular network, and this is reached really quick with the data from mobile docs.
Regards
Christian

Hi Ashawani,
thank you for your response.
I think this function is good, but in our case unfeasible. Mobile Docs starts automaticly with the laptop, and the sync is already in progress before you can interrupt it.
Really nice would be, if u can administer in the central administration that windows clients can only automaticly sync, if it is connected to wifi or cable-network.
Another option could be, that there is an addidional option in the synchronisation settings for the time intervalls.
Every 5 Minutes
Every 10 Minutes
etc..
Only Manual Sync
Regards
Christian

Feature request: Button to disable web audio

I hate websites that burst out their sounds.
Whenever I wish i could simply continue listening to my iTunes, I wish Safari (or any other browser) had a button that would disable all sounds coming from any website currently open. That has to be possible, and I wonder why it doesn´t exist yet...
maybe in 3.1?

Hi
Yes, it is annoying. Send your suggestion to Apple via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple. As Safari is still in Beta stage now is a good time to let Apple know what Users want to see in Safari.

Multiple app updates that are not the new version??

I check for updates for my iPhone apps daily. Well, yesterday I checked and it had multiple apps that said needed to be updated, but I checked the version number it was an older version. When I leave that page(the update page) and come back I get a different list of apps. Sometimes it says I need just 1(which I do) and sometime is shows 4 or more. The only thing I have done lately was installed an older version of an app(because the new version wasn't installing on my phone[v2.2]) Is that what caused this mess? I don't really want to update to 2.2.1 just yet.
P.S. It does this in iTunes and on my iPhone.

Something is definitely funky.
In itunes it has a 12 by the apps, meaning there should be 12 updates. But when I go to update all apps, it only shows 2.
edit - well, when I went to update the 2 it was showing, it ended up showing all 12.

[Feature Request] Option to disable auto-scrolling

LG Nexus 4, Android 4.4.4, Vodafone, Skype 5.0.0.52727
Please provide an option to get rid of that automatical scrolling to end of conversations when someone texts in it. Can't read older content on my Android phone when people keep writing.

This makes Skype unusable with group chats!
Also, if I scroll up, open an older link, when I get back to Skype it autoscrolls down to bottom of the conversation - that is also really bad, I typically want to continue reading from where I left.
