HOW points get you privileges within the community

4. Read what points are...
OK, so it explains how to get points and that they give you privileges, but no mention of how points get you privileges or link to that information. Not that I really care, but pointing it out. Is it just another "status" in our communities for people to feel good about [authoratative, look at me], or does it really provide something worthwhile relative to being helpful and providing Apple's support for them?

Refer to ... 'More like this', this page, right hand column, bottom entry ... 'What's the benefit of accruing points in Apple communities'
Carolyn Samit's excellent answer details all the levels and the justification for taking part in community discussions.
Personally, simply scouting around the different sections is an education in itself and I would heartily recommend you to take an interest.

Help!
How do I downgrade my iCloud storage and get a refund within the 15 days?
I recently up-graded from 10 to 20GB in the middle of my storage plan, but I've changed my mind. How can I get a refund and revert my account back to its previous settings?

If in the US, follow the link below (you must request a refund within 15 days) -
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16968425#16968425
it gives the USA phone number - if you don't live there you will have to find an equivalent number from the 'Contact Us' link at bottom right of this page.

IP routing doesn't work the way many folks might initially think it does; functional IP routing requires manual configuration and the establishment of static routes and default routes specific to the local network configurations, and it's very easy to get it wrong, or to get the default route swapped. Multiple NIC boxes don't magically work, either. (Been there, done that, wondered what happened to my network when the paths got reordered or my route settings were messed up, etc.)
Routing configuration errors can be quite subtle, too. (Again, voice of experience. Ever had a thousand-seat office LAN accidentally routing through your desktop? As the, um, unnamed guilty party discovered, getting into that configuration was subtle. Seeing the performance crater on the fellow's box and on the LAN was obvious.)
Knowing how IP routing works is a prerequisite to getting this configuration to work; there's manual configuration required. Clearly something has gone weird here.
What to do? Read up on IP routing. I'll again suggest the threads and the manual mentioned earlier.
And in general, I prefer to avoid using my comparatively expensive Mac boxes as sub-optimal IP routers or as firewall boxes. General-purpose operating systems and generic x86 boxes are going to be inherently poor IP routers. Dedicated routers (or embedded or surplus x86 boxes with routing software loaded) offload the Mac boxes here, and are also typically easier to configure manage. And "real" IP routers can have hardware specific to efficiently routing packets. Use of an outboard firewall or firewall-router box also greatly simplifies gateway routing, too; it's a configuration that many folks and many businesses tend to use.

How to get form input in the same portlet using pageflow

Hi this is premkumar
i created 2 portlet in a portal how to get form input in the sampe portlet using
pageflow
help as early as possible

Do to the complexity of the program we need to run it with sequences. This is because we need to aquire data with DAQ until it reaches a certain point and then stop collecting so that it can do its process (only once for all times criteria is met), and then loop around till again collecting after DAQ drops back below certain point looking to once again reach that point. Another flat sequence is going outside of this where I want to put the prompt and have a user input to affect how many times that that the inner loop is run (No a For Loop instead of the while loop will not work either for other reasons).
I just want to know if after the program starts you can have a user input that will change the effect of the rest of the programs action based on the number inputed.

How to get Open Balance for the year and Total Ending Balance?

For a given account, how to get Open Balance for the year (Cumulative Ending Balance) and Total Ending Balance (Cumulative Ending Balance)?
Is there any function module available? or should I read from some tables? Please advice.

Hello Paul,
You could try calling one of the following BAPIs - see which one meets your requirement. They are documented well so shouldn't be a problem finding out the correct one for your requirements.
BAPI_GL_GETGLACCBALANCE
BAPI_GL_GETGLACCCURRENTBALANCE
BAPI_GL_ACC_GETBALANCE
BAPI_GL_ACC_GETCURRENTBALANCE
BAPI_GL_ACC_GETPERIODBALANCES
BAPI_COND_VAL_DECRE_BALANCES
You might have to put in some of your own logic after the BAPI call to get what you want.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Sougata.
p.s. Also look at FM FAGL_GET_ACCOUNT_BALANCE

How to get a question in the course placed anywhere in the course and does not appear in the quiz result or total number of questions. Pretest would work except it can't go anywhere in the course (at least for me it can't)

How to get a question in the course placed anywhere in the course and does not appear in the quiz result or total number of questions. Pretest would work except it can't go anywhere in the course (at least for me it can't)

Use a normal question, and do not add the score to the total score. That will give you a correct score at the end. But the total number of questions, that system variable will still take into account all questions. You'll need a user variable, and calculate its value by subtracting 1 from the system variable cpQuizInfoTotalQuestionsPerProject. Same for the progress indicator if you want to show it?
Customized Progress Indicator - Captivate blog
If you want to allow Review, you'll have to tweak as well. You didn't specify the version, and all those questions I now mentioned.
And my approach, since you talk about only one question: create a custom question, because you'll have total control then.

How to get boot camp in the emac

how to get boot camp in the emac

Furthermore, eMacs can only emulate the Windows environment, whereas Intel CPU Macs including the iMac you have running 10.6.8 can virtualize Windows. Emulation is a poor man's solution, because software is used to replace functions that normally take place with hardware. You can use the iMac to do any data conversion before it gets sent back to the eMac over a network. See my FAQ* regarding Windows on the Mac:

HT4889 Replacing System hard drive with a new one. How to get everything over to the new boot drive?

Replacing System hard drive with a new one. How to get everything over to the new boot drive? Should I use Carbon Copy or does apple have a better untility to do this?
I can't get my current system drive (OSX 10.8.3) to start on the first try. I always have to shut down and restart again to finally see the Apple logo.
Have used disc utility to repair the disc and permissions several times and that works. The next time I boot up, it works fine and I get the apple logo, but then the second time I boot up, it's back to the blank screen again and it only boots after the second try. I have tried this repair three different times now always with the same result. Works right the first try (after the repair) then from the second time on it doesn't work. I just get the white screen until I reboot a second time.
Thinking I should change drives but what's the easist and best way to move everything over to the new drive so it will boot correctly with all my data on it. This is the system drive for a Pro Tools 10HD setup. MacPro 3,1 with 16 gigs ram and OSX10.8.3 on it.
Thanks for any help!

If you have a time machine back up of your current drive you can do this
Shut down your computer, install the new drive. While the computer is off plug in the external hard drive that you have your time machine back up on. Hold Option key while the computer turnes on, let go of the option key once you get a grey screen. Shortly after you'll see a list of bootable drives, select the one that has your time machine back up on it and boot into that drive.
From there go into disk utility, format your new drive too, osx extended journaled ( I think, double check that, its been awhile since ive had to do this), hit format
Exit disk utility and then you can use time machine to copy all your exisit data to the new hhd and then your pretty much done.
There is also a program called Carbon Cloner that will do esentially the same thing however I've never uesed it.

How to get each thread in the threadpool

Hi,everyone.I'm now learning java.util.concurrent package and I have two questions about the threadpool.
1) How to get each thread in the threadpool;
2) How to get each thread's data in the threadpool and dispaly them onto GUI;
e.g :
There are 5 threads in the threadpool(ThreadPoolExecutor) and I have 100 tasks(Runnable or Callable),every task scans a directory(every task scans a different directory),how can I display the "real-time" count of the files in the directory which the current 5 threads in the threadpool scan onto the ListView Items in the GUI?

Finally you notify the monitor when the execution has completed.

How can I create cursors within the cursor?

How can I create cursors within the cursor?
Table1 2001 - 2007 data
Account_no
Account_eff_dt
No_account_holder
Num
Seq_Num
Value1
Value2
Table2_Historical (doesn't have Num as a field) 1990 - 2000 data
Account_no
Account_eff_dt
No_account_holder
Seq_Num
Value1
Value2
Table3_06
Account_no
Account_eff_dt
No_account_holder
Num
My result table should be:
Table_result_06
Account_no
Account_eff_dt
No_account_holder
Num
Value1_min (the minimum value for the minimum of record_sequence)
Value2_max (the maximum value for the maximum of record_sequence)
I have to get data from Table1 and Table2_Historical. If one account was open in 1998 and is still effective, the minimum value of that account is in the Table2_Historical.
Let's say I open a cursor:
cursor_first is
select * from table3_06;
open csr_first
loop
fetch cursor_first into
v_Account_no
v_Account_eff_dt
v_No_account_holder
v_Num
EXIT WHEN csr_first%NOTFOUND;
How can I open a second cursor from here that will get the Seq_Num from Table1
csr_second
select Seq_Num from Table1 where
v_Account_no = Account_no
v_Account_eff_dt <= Account_eff_dt
v_No_account_holder=No_account_holder
v_Num = Num
How does it works???
Thanks a lot

Thanks so much for replying back. Here is what I am trying to do.
I have to create a table for each year 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 that has all the account numbers that are active each year plus some other characteristics.
Let’s say I will create Table_result_06. This table will have the following fields. The account number, account effective date, Number of the account holder and the field Num (The primary key is a combination of all 4 fields), the beginning look of value 1 in 2006, the last look of value 1 in 2006.
Table_result_06
Account_no key
Account_eff_dt key
No_account_holder key
Num key
Value1_min (the minimum value for the minimum of record_sequence)
Value2_max (the maximum value for the maximum of record_sequence)
All the active account numbers with the Account_eff_dt, No_account_holder and Num are in the Table3. As such I can build a query that connects Table3 with table Table1 on all 4 fileds, Account_no, Account_eff_dt, No_account_holder, Num and find the Value1_min for the min of req_sequence in 2006 and Value1_max for the max of req_sequence in 2006. Here my problem starts.
Table 1 doesn’t have a new entry if nothing has changed in the account. So if this account was open in 1993 and nothing has changed I don’t have an entry in 2006 but this doesn’t mean that this account doesn’t exist in 2006. So to find the minimum value I have to go back in 1993 and find the max and min for that year and that will be max and min in 2006 as well.
As such I have to go to Table_2 historical and search for min and max. But this table doesn’t have the field NUM and if I match only on the Account_no, Account_eff_dt and No_account_holder I don’t get a unique record.
So how can I connect all three tables, Table 1 for max and min, if it doesn’t find anything will go to table 2 find the two values and populate Table_result_06.
Thanks so much again for your hep,
