Hi all,
Some misunderstanded the fact. Here is some points about that: http://in.news.yahoo.com/two-thirds-apps-apple-store-never-downloaded-zombies-05 4843596.html
I guess I'm not sure of the point of the article either.  I would imagine this applies to almost all software ever released for any platform.  The considerable majority get little use or attention, and are short lived.  Only a relatively few meet some major common need amongst a large number users.
How many people install and regularly use MS Office or Adobe Reader to their home computer, relative to say something like any one of the multitude of ftp clients that exist or have existed over the years (since most peoples ftp use will be via a web interface, not a standalone client)?
Most software either gains no traction due to alternative competitive apps, or is targeted at a niche market of relatively few users.
Just the nature of the market - it's very tough to come up with a real breakthrough application that nearly everyone will want or regularly use, or that will do so for a very long time.  Even big hits like many games peak quickly and then fade off into history, even though still available.

    You will need to contact Support in your country to get the security questions reset (these are user-to-user forums) : Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security (if your account's password has been changed then they should also be able to reset that for you)

  • I work in a public library and we have two ipod touch and two ipod nanos we would like to circulate for our patrons. Any advice on how we can do this? Should we allow patrons to set the device up for personal use or download static content?

    With the Nanos, you should have no problem lending them loaded with audiobooks from Librivox, etc.
    As for the iPod Touches, I'm not sure the question is whether you should allow patrons to set up the device for personal accounts, but whether you can prevent them from doing so. Prepare to to a factory restore every time one is returned.

  • How Apple can provide iMac serial number associated with the IMEI number in the invoice

    My iMac was stolen and I would like to locate it, but I do not have with me the serial number.
    The receipt from the store I bought the iMac only has the IMEI number.
    How Apple can provide me the serial number associated with the IMEI number in the invoice?

    Locating your Mac using Find My Mac do not use serial number.
    Use a computer browser to track

  • OutOfMemory??? With an huge array how I can avoid it??

    In runtime i got the OutOfMemoryError (or exception... I don't remember) when bulding an huge array... So i would like to know which dimension has usually the heap memory, if it depends from the machine you're using, and how i can avoid that error, without creating a List...
    I need the array to create a simple program for school wich will split a file in n parts, so I need to use an array of bytesn but if the file bigger than about 50mb it appears the OutOfMemory above...
    Any suggestions accepted (you'll see i'm a newbie), Thanks

    What exactly are you seeing on the phone's screen ? If the iTunes icon and cable then the phone is in recovery mode, in which case it's too late to take a new backup or to copy any content off the phone - you will have to connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and reset it back to factory defaults, after which you can restore to the last backup that you took or just resync your content to it

  • How can i restrict a user not open more than 3 sessions in database

    how can i restrict a user not open more than 3 sessions in database.For this i have already create a profile and set CONCURRENT_SESSIONS=3 and assing that profile to user but the problem is there.

    You will simply need to use the following parameter in your CREATE PROFILE syntax.
    CREATE PROFILE normal_user
    LIMIT SESSIONS_PER_USER 2;
    but the resource limits set for a profile are enforced only when you enable resource limitation for the associated database.
    you could do this either by having an initialization paramater which will invoke as soon as the database starts or try using ALTER SYSTEM command

  • WHAT SHOULD I DO MORE TO GET  MY FILES BACK IN THE FCP FORMAT ?

    A ROUND-ABOUT PROBLEM
    RECENTLY I GRADUATED FROM. FCE AND FCE HD. I DECIDED TO INSTALL FCP 5. I HAVE POWER BOOK G4 V10.4.8, PROCESSOR 1.5 GHZ PC SDRAM WITH INTERNAL MEM 80 DISK STORAGE AND 1 GB DDR SDRAM. I ALSO HAVE AN EXTERNAL LaCIE WITH 200 CAPACITY.
    IN THE PROCESS OF INSTALLING FCP, THE STUPID THING I DID WAS TO CHANGE NAME OF THE MEDIA FILE, AND THIS ACTION CAUSED ALL MY FILES GO OFFLINE. THE OPTIONS GIVEN TO ME BY THE RECONNECT FILLES TABLE BOX TO GET BACK MY FILES ARE:I TRIED TO USE BOTH BUT WITH NO SUCCESS.
    I WOULD BE GRATGEFUL TO ANY ONES WHO COULD HELP ME RECOVER MY FILES WITHOUT GOING INTO THE PAIN OF CAPTURING THEM FROM TAPE.
    FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE THE PATIENCE PLEASE READ MOR BELOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
    WHEN I TRY I GET A WARNING WHICH SAYS:
    THE FILE FORMAT OF THIS PROJECT IS FROM AN EARLIER VERSION. WOULD YOU LIKE TO UPDATE THIS PROJECT?
    NOTE: ONCE SAVED, THIS FILE CANNOT BE OPENED BY PREVIOUS VERSION. TO AVOID OVERWRITING THE ORIGINAL PROJECT FILE , YOU CAN CHOOSE SAVE PROJECT AS FROM THE FILE MENU WHEN PROJECT UPDATING IS COMPLET
    WHEN I SAY YES, ANOTHER BOX APPEARS: UPDATE PROJECT. IT SAYS THE FOLLOWING:
    THIS PROJECT CONTAINS ONE OR MORE SEQUENCES WHICH THIS VERSION OF FINAL PRODUCT PRO CAN RENDER WITH MOTION TAP QUALITY(NAMELY SCALIBG, ROTATION, ETC). PLEASE CHOSE A SCALING QUALITY TO USE (“FASTEST” RECOMMENDED IS THE QUALITY LEVEL 4.5.
    NEW QUALIT Y CHICKED INSIDE THE BOX ARE: BEST, NORMAL, FASTEST OR LINEAR . THE UNCHECKED LITTLE BOX READS: REMOVE EXISTING FILES (THIS ACTION IN NOT UNDOABLE
    WHEN I PRESS OK “OFFLINE FILES” BOX APPEARS AND SAYS:
    SOME OF THE MEDIA OF YOUR PROJECT REFERENCES EITHER CHANGED, MOVED, OR GONE AWAY.YOU CAN EITHER RECONNECT THESE FILES , OR CONTINUE WITH THEM BEING OFFLINE. BELOW THIS SAYS AS FOLLOWS:
    FORGET FILES. BELOW THAT THERE IS AN UNCHED BOX WHICH SAYS: MEDIA FILES 69 OFFLINE
    WHEN I PRESS CONNECT INSTEAD OF CONTINUE , THE RECONNECT FILLES BOX OPENS AND 69 OFFLINES FILES APPEAR. IN THIS RECONNECT FILES BOX THERE ARE 2 SECTIONS
    THE 1ST SECTION HAS A LITTLE UNCHECKED SKIP FILE BOX AND ANOTHER LITTLE CHECKED BOX WHICH READS: SEARCH SINGLE LOCATION. WHEN I OPEN IT TWO OPTIONS ARE GIVEN AS FOLLOWS:
    MACINTOSH HD: USERS WITH MY NAME AND DOCUMENT
    LaCILE:FINAL CUT PRO DOCUMENTS; AUTO SAVE VAULT WITH THE TITLE OF MY FILE
    WHEN I PRESS RECONNECT I GET THE FALLOWING PATH :
    MY NAME.>MACINTOSH HD >APTS FCT 5 >GRAY FILES
    WHEN I CHANGE THE SHOW BOX TO REVEAL FILES .I GET OFFLINE
    WHEN I ADD RESEACH, IT TAKES ME TO THE A CHOOSE A FOLDER WITH THE FOLLOWING PATH:
    MY NAME>LACIE DISK>FINAL CUT DOCUMENT >FOLDER >GRAY FILES WHICH CANNOT BE RVEALD., AND WHICH I CANNOT CHOOSE. IT GOES ON AND ON IN A CIRCLE WITHOUT HELPING ME TO GET MY FILES IN FCP FORMQAT.
    WHAT SHOULD I DO MORE TO GET MY FILES BACK IN THE FCP FORMAT WITHOUT BEING STUCK TO OFFLINE FILES FOR EVER? YOUR STEP BY STEP TO WALK ME THROUGH TO REESTABLISH MY FILES WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

    A round-about problem
    I thank you all for your very kind replies. I have rewritten my issue in lower case as suggested by all of you. I hope I will be helped.
    Recently, I thought I had graduated from final cut express and final cut express HD when . I decided to install final cut pro. Perhaps a wishfull thinking!
    I have a power book g4 v 10.4.8, processor 1.5 ghz sdram with internal memory of 80 storage disk and 1 gb ddr sdram. I also have an external LaCie with a 200 storage capacity.
    In the process of installing final cut pro, I stupidly changed the name of the media file. Maybe this action caused all my clips, video and audio, files go offline. The options given to me by the Reconnect Files Table , to get my files back, are : Single Search Location and Search.
    I tried and tried both with no success. I would be grateful to any ones who might be able to help me to recover my clips without going through the pain of recapturing them from the tape. There are several tapes to be recaptured.
    Now, for those of you who may have the patience, please read more below to see what I have gone through.
    When I try to get to the files, I get the first warning: “The file of this project is from an earlier version. Would like to update this project?” And then it continues: “Note, once saved, this file cannot be opened by previous version. To avoid overwriting the original project file , you can choose Save Project As from the File Menue when the project updating is complete”. (It was at this point where I changed the files names formatted by the previous versions).
    When I say Yes, another box appears: Update Project. It reads as follows:
    “This project contains one or more sequences which this version of Final Cut Pro can render with Motion Tap (i.e. scalable, rotation, etc). Please choose a scalable quality (“fastest” recommended is the quality level 4.5. New Quality checked inside the little Box are: Best. Normal Fastest or linear." I choose Normal. The unchecked little Box reads: "Remove existing files ( this action is not undoable, it says”.
    (By the way, in my project no sequences, have been set up as yet; they are all clips inside the bins with red slash in all clips).
    When I press OK, “Offline Clips” Box opens and says the following:
    “Some of the media of your project references either changed, moved, or gone away. You can either Reconnect these files, or Continue with them being Offline”. Below this it continues:
    “Forget files.” Below that there is an unchecked box which says: “Media Files 69 Offline”.
    When I press Connect instead of Continue, the Reconnect Files Box opens with 69 Offline files. In this Reconnect Files Box there are two sections’
    The first section has a little unchecked Skip Files Box and another little checked Box which reads: “Search Single Location”.
    When I open it, two paths are given to recover my files:
    My name>LaCie> Final Cut Document>Folder>Gray files which cannot be revealed, and which I cannot open. I go on and onl ike a checken without a head in a circle without being able to get to the files off Offline.
    I have the same problem with the second path: My name>Macintosh HD>FCP 5>gray files.
    What should I do more to get my clip files back in the FCP format without being stuck to Offline files for ever?
    I am new to this field and enjoy what I am doing. I am old, and sometime my head goes off. Your expert step by step walking me through to reestablish my file linkage with Media would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all and have a nice holiday. Faruk Sabet

  • In my Mail program (4.6), OS10.6.8, can I send bulk email bcc? If so is there a limit to the number of names/addresses that I can send?

    In my Mail program (4.6), OS10.6.8, can I send bulk email bcc? If so is there a limit to the number of names/addresses that I can send?

    To add the BCC field to the message window, create a new message, click the 'three lines' button near the to and from fields & select the 'BCC Address field' or choose the 'customise' option. This button may be a 'gear' on the older OS (I don't recall for 10.6.8 Mail).
    The BCC field is more likely to be limited by the email server than Mail app. If you add hundreds of addresses (or use large groups with many addresses) the email server may assume you are sending spam. Sometimes it causes the server to drop the message or bounce them, different providers also have different rules, so you need to use bcc & ccc with care.
    If you plan on doing mass mailing you would be better with a service that handles it correctly for you (i.e. sends multiple messages without using ccc or bcc).

    How to fix file when it says, "Cannot open file " ". Adobe Indesign does not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or file may be open in another application." It worked one second, I saved and closed the file, then tried to reopen and now it won't work. I am using Adobe InDesign CS5. It is the only version on my comp. I have tried opening on another comp & copying the file – same error comes up. PLEASE HELP

    First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
    You can find it here:
    [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
    If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
    In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
    CS7 = CC v9
    CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1
