How do we know who apple people are on discussions?

I'd like to know how we can recognise apple staff on the discussions, thanks for all your help.

On the old discussion software, they had distinctive avatars and identifiers under the avatars. They could have adopted distinctive avatars with the new forum software but they didn't. The reason that they didn't, I assume, is because the new software allows secondary icons to identify users. Every level had its own icon, the Hosts had their own icon, and Apple employees had theirs. This identification system was temporarily disabled along with the rest of the levels and reputations because of the performance hit that was being caused. It may come back if they can fix the performance problems.
Until then, Hosts and Apple employees have been using text signatures, such as "Apple Discussions Host" to identify themselves. There may be Apple employees who have not gotten the word about the text signatures.
BTW, to see what I mean by the identification icons, look at how Jive has implemented this feature on their own support forums. On this forum page, look to the right in the box labeled "Legend".

  • When I put my phone into Do Not Disturb mode....how do I know who my favorites are who can override this feature

    When I put my phone iPhone 4s into Do Not Disturb mode, how do I know who my favorites are that can over ride this feature?

    The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
    It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

  • How do I know if Apple emails are real

    II'm constantly getting emails from Apple telling me my account has expired, I need to update my iTunes account, my account will be suspended if I don't update deta, etc. how do I know if this it's real? It's been going on for years and I've always ignored it without anything happening to my account (I can still purchase apps, movies and music) but seeing as i get an email at least once a week I'm really sick of it and want it to stop.
    Any ideas? I don't open the emails or click on links which is why I think I've been fine.

    It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message to Apple.
    [email protected]
    The link below has information to help identify fraudulent emails.

  • How do I know if the apps are free or not if I already have them on my ipad??

    How do I know if the apps are free or not if I already have them on my ipad?? I have an ipad and it was open by another person's Apple ID and all the applications too. Now I have change the Apple ID by my name and I wanted to update the apps and I can't remember if the apps were free or not, and I don't want to delete them without knowing if they are free.

    When you buy an app the app is permanently allocated to the AppleID account you bought it through.  You can then download that app on up to five devices,  as many times as you want, without buying it again.  So deleting an App is not a big problem, you just log into your account in iTunes again, find the app, and instead of showing you a 'BUY' button it shows you a 'DOWNLOAD' or 'INSTALL' button.
    If you change the AppleID account  you use in your iPad then Apple will think you sold the iPad to someone else, and all the apps with that name will stop working anyway.
    But you can change the name and email address for an AppleID account, without moving to a new AppleID account, by following these instructions:

  • How could I know:WHO IS CALLING ME?

    let's assume that, there are three classes: class A , class B and class C.in class C there is one method :println(String msg).And there is one method: method_A in class A,method_B in class B.
    class A
    &nbsp&nbsp...
    &nbsp&nbsp public void method_A()
    &nbsp&nbsp {
    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp C.println("I am in method_A of classA");
    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp ...
    &nbsp&nbsp }
    class B
    &nbsp&nbsp...
    &nbsp&nbsp public void method_B()
    &nbsp&nbsp {
    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp C.println("I am in method_B of classB");
    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp ...
    &nbsp&nbsp }
    class C
    &nbsp&nbsp...
    &nbsp&nbsp public static void println(String msg)
    &nbsp&nbsp {
    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp if (DebuggingOn)
    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp {
    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp System.out.println("Called from Class:"+getCallerName() );
    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp System.out.println(msg);
    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp }
    &nbsp&nbsp }
    &nbsp&nbsp private String getCallerName()
    &nbsp&nbsp {
    &nbsp&nbsp //how to implement this?
    &nbsp&nbsp }
    in class C,when method println(String msg) being executed,how could I know who is calling me(println(String msg))?

    I am not sure exactly what you want, is this supposed to be polly morphism so that both classes can be called by class C and they will tell what they are. fi so this code will work
    class top {
       public void method();
    class A extends top {
       public void method() {
          c.println("I am in method of class A", this);
       public String toString() {
          return " A";
    class B extends top {
       public void method() {
          C.println("I am in method of class B", this);
       public String toString() {
          return " B";
    class C {
       public static void println(String msg, top t)
         if (DebuggingOn)
           System.out.println("Called from Class:"+ t );
           System.out.println(msg);
    }If called from class A will print out "Classed from Class: A" then the message and if called from Class B will print out "Classed from Class: B" then the message

  • How can I know in which Tables are the fields stored

    Hi,
    In transaction FSE3 Display Financial Version
    Statement Version, if I drilldown in details, I can
    see Item No, Chart of Acc, From Accountm To Account D,
    C.
    when I do a F1 on the fields, I can see that it is a
    structure. How can I know in which Tables are the
    fields store?

    Hi Ankit,
    There are no rules or guidelines for finding the table but i will share some of the tips used generally.........but i am not sure if we can do it for a tree structure..but try anyways....
    Double click on the structure name seen on the F1 pop up window...
    in the structure screen, try to analyse the field which is very important something like a key in that set of fields or do the same for the fields which we feel are more important,then click on the domain for that field....once in the domain..click on the "where used list for the domain" on the top...
    it will display a pop up -> select only "table" and then press "Tick/OK"..A list will be displayed with the data element and table name ..from this we need to find out the right one we need either by going for text of the table or going through each and every one
    It takes time but does the job.....
    Regards
    Byju

  • HT204088 We entered an app store gift card # onto our ipod. How do I know if the purchases are getting charged to the gift card vs. my credit card? Also how do I found out what the balance left on the gift card is?

    How do I know if the app purchases are being taken from the app gift card vs. my credit card?
    And how can I see the balance remaining on the gift card?

    If the card has been redeemed then its remaining amount should be on your account, the card itself is now effectively zero. My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. On my devices it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Stores and it should show on the screen that you are taken to).
    As long as you are buying content for yourself then purchases should be deducted from your balance - if you are gifting content then that can only be done from a credit card.
