I am not clear on the points system in the Forums. Will I get points for simply posting questions or replying to questions?

No. Points are not given for  simply posting a question or a reply. Points are awarded by the person who  started a discussion. They can mark a reply to their question as either The  Answer or as Helpful. They can mark one “Correct” answer and two “Helpful”  answers per discussion thread.

@ adobe-admin (J.C.?):
Thanks for fixing the "backslash" error. Accuracy is important, and doubly so when presented as an F.A.Q.
The sad thing is how prevalent the usage of "backslash" is when a plain old slash is meant (generally, the "forward" attribute is assumed and unneeded), and by people who should know better. It's a direct result of people knowing just barely enough about the Windows file path naming protocols, and then applying the only terminology they're familiar with incorrectly to URLs.
I went about 10 rounds—TWICE!—with a labyrinthian succession of people at the Discovery & History cable TV networks because they were saying "backslash" in voice overs whenever their commercials promoted their websites. It took some doing, but I finally got in touch with somebody who was savvy enough to recognize that it was a rookie mistake made by a clueless marketing copywriter. The voice over person just read the copy they were given, oblivious to the difference. It amazes me that it wasn't caught by somebody early in the recording/production process and rectified.
They then had it correct for about a year, until new commercials started popping up with the same error. Unfortunately, the person I had talked to previously no longer worked for the History channel and I had to go through the process of finding someone who understood all over again.
Yeah, you can call me a nitpicker with nothing better to do.
But I've earned that dang badge, and I wear it proudly!

  • Does any one know whether or not Safari on the touch will ever get Flash?

    Just interested really, not a problem but it would be nice to be able to use flash with safari on my iPod touch.
    does any one know of any developments coming up?

    Not so fast...
    Despite Adobe's positive-sounding statement yesterday, CEO Shantanu Narayen clarified that he meant Flash on the iPhone would require more than just the iPhone SDK to pull off successfully. Since Flash requires a very close relationship with Safari – something Apple is normally very hesitant to allow – Narayen says it would need to work closely with Apple to develop a satisfactory implementation of Flash for the iPhone, according to CNET.

  • HT5312 How to reset my security question(s); I am still not clear on the explanation given

    How to reset my security question(s); I am still not clear on the explanation given

    I may not be making myself clear on what I have done;
    Initially, I went through the steps to answer the security questions; I was only able to answer one, then I reached the maximum amount of attempts for the second question.
    I then tried the steps; to the page to click on 'manage my id'; then I signed back in and clicked on the line on the left side of page that reads "password and secuirty"; which then states; "We apologize, but we were unable to verify your account information with the answers you provided to our security questions - You have made too many attempts to answer these questions. So, for security reasons, you will not be able to reset password for the next eight hours".  
    The thing is, I am not and was not trying to reset my password, only the security questions - for the past 2 - 3 hours I have been trying this.
    I have also tried to get phone assistance and I keep getting e-mails that Apple has tried to call - no one has called my number, I have been sitting by the phone for the pastg 3+ hours . . . .
    I am not sure what else to do at this point.

  • Not clear with the statement ( A large double value with redundant D )

    Hi,
    I am not clear about the statment below. What does redundant D means.
    *123.4E+306D// A large double value with redundant D*

    By default any floating-point literal in Java is a double, so the trailing D that specifies that explicitly is redundant.

  • If the data is not available in R/3 systems(Ex: MM), who will load the data

    Hi All,
    Can anybody tell me that if the data is not available in R/3 systems(Ex: MM), who will load the data into that?
    Need Helpful Answers....
    Regards,
    Kiran Telkar

    Hi kiran,
    The data is generated in the R/3 when the business transactions take place.
    No one loads the data into R/3 as it done with BW. R/3 is a OLTP(online transactional processing) system which aides the day to day transactions of a business & theese transactions are stored in the R/3 in there respective tables in the form of records, so one record is generated for each transaction done.
    For example there will be record generated in different modules when there is an order placed or when a material is delivered against an order.
    Hope this helps,
    regards.

  • Can't update to ios7 on ipod touch 4th generation on this ipod. had facetime but now it requires ios7 so i have it no more and used it a lot with family. would have to buy new ipod. apple should not take away the capabilities you have already paid for

    found out i can't update ipod touch 4th generation to ios7 which is now required to use facetime. have used facetime for several years with family now can't use. Apple should not take away the capabilities you already have paid for!!

    No correct, you do not need iOS for FaceTime. You only needed to update to iOS 6.1.6.
    Unable to make or receive FaceTime calls after April 16, 2014

    I have a problem. When I start to sync music to my iPod touch, you have to enter the password of your account. I downloaded the game from the general account, and do not always know the password. He writes that if I do not login, then the game will be erased. Previously, this was not. When starting to sync music, it did not touch my programs, and now because of this music can not be transferred to iPods. PANIC AT ME! HELP

    If they are Tunes purchased music you have to sing into the account that purchased them.
    Is this the iTunes library/computer you sync with? You can rally only "sync" with one iTunes library/computer.However, yo can manually manage music and videos among different libraries/computer. See the manual method of:

    To begin, what ADA-compliant options are available to work with a service representative? Good question, and one that I don't know the answer to.  Does anything on this page help? Products & Services Overview | Verizon Wireless
    1) I was charged for service following the cancellation of my service; this includes a period following cancellation during which no service was provided.  Service is normally billed through the end of the billing cycle, whether service is provided or not.  "Cancellations will become effective on the last day of that month’s billing cycle, and you are responsible for all charges incurred until then." After working with a representative in person, I was told that my final bill would be adjusted to reflect the legally billable amount. According to their legal docs, the "leagally billable amount" is through the end of the billing cycle. This was three weeks ago and I haven't received a response, and I haven't been able to find a way to pursue a resolution - What can I do to help move this process forward?
    2) It appears I will be unable to pay my bill after this dispute has been reviewed. My phone number is no longer with Verizon. The online bill payment login requires a phone number - I have never been provided with any other account number. Unfortunately, Verizon appears to close access to online bill payment when the phone number is transferred, even to accounts with unpaid invoice amounts. How can I pay my bill online?  You cannot pay online once the account is cancelled.  You will be mailed a paper copy of the final bill, and you can mail a check, or possibly call in and pay over the phone.  But online is no longer an option once the account is cancelled.

  • If i buy a macbook pro 2 months before the new operating system comes is released, can i get it for free?

    If i buy a macbook pro 2 months before the new operating system comes is released, can i get it for free?

    Generally once Apple gives the official release date, then Macs have become available for up to date pricing.  As long as just the season has been stated, there is no guarantee that Macs purchased during the season in question will get up to date pricing.  So watch http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/ or http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/ the day that the release date is announced.   Past performance is no guarantee of future returns.  Thankfully since 10.7's release Apple's full fledged releases have only been $20 USD, and updates are free to the full fledged release.  I.e. 10.7.1 to 10.7.5 are updates to 10.7.
    10.8.1 to 10.8.4 are updates to 10.8.  It was only with 10.6 and earlier the distribution for each full release was at least $99 and up to date were around $20 going back to 10.2.  10.6 is though available on the Apple Store for only $20.
