How do the point get applied to my ID?

I have assisted several people through the forums. If they return to the discussion thread and mark the post as answered (green star), wouldn't that mean I should be granted points for providing the information? (Especially if I were the only one that answered?)
So, two primary questions...
1: How do I get the points associated to my Apple ID?
2: Who(or how) do I contact to ensure they are applied to my ID?

I just read some of your posts and you have no points? That is not a drought, that is just rude behaviour by others if you ask me, and fair play to you for giving so much time to the forum. Hang on in there till the users here get the idea that we are here for free and for fun and want to help where we can, and the points awarded should reflect one's usefulness, for want of a better word. Based on your points you are not useful, although your posts say otherwise, and having not visited the forum for a few months either side of the new look, which is very good btw, and recently made about 60 posts and received 2 helpfuls, I dont feel too valued either.
There is a little bit of dented ego in my thoughts, but basically I am a Machead and liked contributing technical help to this community rather than other forums because there was a sense that Levels gave credibility to one's answers, and the more i learned the more I was able to help, and my points reflected that.
Apparently that old points system was seriously flawed. Oh well! Personally I think the old way was a fun train that had momentum, whereas now the system has a built in brake. Maybe in the past some friends did bump up friends' tallies and people got points for worthless posts, but there was always a sense that knowledgeable users shined through, and their points reflected their knowledge. Now I think there are lots of very smart former Windows admins and power users floating around giving out amazing advice, but the miserly helpfuls is not giving them credibility.
Anyway, I am still more or less inclined to help out and where necesaary go searching for solutions for people who cant be bothered to even Google or search the archives here for solutions, but now i share my time in the help sections of other forums where there is no points system and you take info almost as pot luck because you dont know the knowledge level of posters, and as time is limited that means less time here.
Perhaps the mods could set up some sort of test for each section so people could pit their skills and show a level of expertise, and have that as the basis of levels. Then it doesnt really matter so much if people arent community spirited with their helpfuls.
Hopefully the atmosphere here will change for the better with some moderated tweakings to the points/credibility system.

  • How does the GR get into SUS---MM-SUS Sceanario

    Hi all,
    How does the GR get into SUS---MM-SUS Sceanario. Can anyone explain??
    Thanks in Advance..
    Regards,
    Jagan

    Hi,
    In SUS - MM scenario
    The supplier ships the goods and sends an ASN based on PO or an Scheduling Agreement to the purchaser. If ASN is based on PO then PO Response has to be accepted  by the purchaser. When the ASN is sent from the SUS system, an inbound delivery is created automatically in SAP MM.
    Now Create GR with reference to ASN or PO based on your requirement in R/3 - MM. The GR notification is then sent to the SUS system, where the supplier can display it.

  • HT201441 How will the device get connected to the internet if it's locked and is wifi only?

    My daughter left her purse in a fitting room briefly and once she realized this, it was gone. In her purse was her iPad mini wifi only. I am curious how would the iPad get connected to the internet if it is locked? I have find my iPhone activated and since it is a iOS 7 device I put in lost mode and set it to display my phone # and a message for a reward. I am guessing it would have to be wiped clean somehow and re activated to be signed into to get hooked to the internet. Am I on the right track that once this is done and it gets connected to the internet the device will display this message? Any comments will help thank you.

    Thank you for your imput Winston. But how is the IPad going to connect when you physically have to put in the wifi password for the wifi? I guess the iPad would be able to access a unsecured wifi? I also read what I believe is conflicting with your statement about iOS 7 that you can send the remote erase and still be able to track? I havent done this yet I want to be certain that if I erase it remotely I can still track. Thanks again for your time.

  • How does the icon get created for a saved file

    In my program I allow saving files using JFileChooser and ActionListener.
    In the constructor of the main class which extends JFrame I also set an icon by saying:
    this.setIconImage(new ImageIcon("image.jpg").getImage());
    This does not only set an icon on the title bar and the minimized window, it also creates an icon on my saved files. However, the image quality for the icon on my saved files is bad, even though the image quality for the other icons is ok. The size of the icon image I am providing is close to the size of the icon image on my saved files.
    How did the icon get created for my saved files? Is it possible to improve the image quality?
    Thanks for looking at this!

    I just realized that
    this.setIconImage(new ImageIcon("image.jpg").getImage())
    did not create the icon for my saved files.
    So what did create it? I did not program it!
    However, I happen to have an icon file Ananya.ico where I have my java project. I use if for my installation file. Did Java use this icon?
    Please help! Thanks!

  • How does the attribute gets the data from R/3 field?

    Hi Experts,
    It could be silly Q.  IO has attributes x, y, z.......  When we map r/3 field to IO, and it is added to the cube and when we create a report, how does the attribute gets data?  I've been working in BW and suddenly I got confused.  Someone please provide me some info
    Thanks,
    Radha

    X,Y,Z being attributes of an info object A.
    When A gets loaded it will be loaded with X,Y,Z.
    If A is a cube and if you wish you can bring X,Y,Z also in the cube in one or more dimensions.
    If you keep X,Y,Z as vag attributes rather than in te cube as dimensions, then , the system will generate SIDs for them.

    Hi Cassi,
    If you are ordering subscriptions for various people in your office, it would be best to sign up under their Adobe IDs, so they can log in and use the subscription with their own credentials. As for moving the current subscription, the easiest route is to cancel the current subscription (see Cancel your membership or subscription | Acrobat, Acrobat.com online services--or I can help), and then reorder as necessary.
    Best,

  • How does the TableCellRenderer gets the value to render?

    Hello.
    I use my own AbstractTableModel together with a table, and I keep the data to be displayed in my table model.
    I would like to render the table headers.
    My question is, where does the TableCellRenderer get the value to render from?

    I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you want to render a cell or the header ?
    Here's an example :
    DefaultTableCellRenderer lRenderer = new DefaultTableCellRenderer()
    //This is the method you want to overide
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent( JTable aTable,
    Object aValue, //This is the value coming from the TableModel
    boolean aIsSelected, //Is your cell selected
    boolean aHasFocus, //Does it have the focus
    int aRow, //the row of the cell renderer
    int aColumn //the column of the cell renderer
    //Get the component from the ancestor
    Component lComp = super.getTableCellRendererComponent( aTable, aValue, aIsSelected, aHasFocus, aRow, aColumn );
    //Cast the component to whatever you want, a JLabel
    //forinstance
    JLabel lLabel = (JLabel)lComp;
    //Let's say the value is an integer
    //Change the icon according to the value of the
    //object retrieved in the TableModel
    if ( ((Integer)value).intValue() == -1)
    //You might want to put these icons in member variables
    lLabel.setIcon(new ImageIcon("MyGif1.gif"));
    else
    lLabel.setIcon(new ImageIcon("MyGif2.gif"));
         return lComp;
    Of course you have to set the tablecellrenderer to the JTable.
    I hope this helps !

    If you're asking about compatibility, that would be something you would need to ask of the app developers, though most apps compatible with Mountain Lion should be compatible with Mavericks. You can also consult the tables here:
    http://roaringapps.com/apps
    though that information comes from user reports and so should not be considered authoritative.
    If you're asking whether installing Mavericks will delete your apps, no, it won't, though a good backup is always highly recommended.

  • How is the Cosine function applied to O-cluster?

    One of the distance functions used in O-cluster is the Cosine function.
    I know how the Euclidean function works but don't understand how
    Cosine function is applied to O-cluser algorithm.
    I would like to know how the cosine function f(x) = a*cos(bx + c) + d
    is applied or used in O-cluster.
    Could you please help me understand how the cosine function is applied to O-cluster?
    Thanks,

    To clarify, both distance functions are used by the k-means algorithm. O-Cluster is a density-based algorithm that does not use distance functions. The cosine distance function is computed as the dot product of two vectors of norm one. Let say you have two data rows (vectors) x and y the dot product is given by: x . y = |x| |y| cos(x,y), where cos(x,y) is the cosine of the angle between the x and y vectors. When |x| and |y| are equal to one x . y = cos(x,y), this is the cosine distance function.
