I can't post to iphone discussion?

I wrote a really detailed description of my problem but can't post (do not enter symbol and greyed-out Post button). Why?

That's the post. On my end, all indications were that my posts could not be submitted. This hasn't been a good experience for me, either with the backups or the discussion forum.
Thanks stedman1; I need to take a break from all this and enjoy some fresh air without the smell of Apple in my flaring nostrils!

Can't post to Safari discussion

I don't get an option to post to the Safari category, at least when using Safari. I do, obviously, get that option in other categories (uh, this one for instance). Am I missing something?
Carl

Hi Carl!
The Safari Forums, are not the only ones that are set up that way.
Here is some additional info on the organization of Discussions.
If you have a Technical question about Apple Hardware, Programs, Services, Technology, Software, Applications, Products, etc, from this page Discussions - Forum Home, select an appropriate Category from one of the thirteen divisions.
For example, under Mac OS X Related Software, choose the Category Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger.
On the page that opens, select a Forum, such as Installation & Setup, or Using Mac OS X Tiger.
Most Category pages, have numerous Forums within them.
But some may have only one, two, or three.
For example, as Rachel R posted, the Safari Category page has five choices listed under Forum / Category, but only three of them, are Forums:
Safari 3 Public Beta for Windows
Safari 3 Public Beta for Mac
Safari for Mac Support forum.
And the Apple Remote Desktop Category, has only one Apple Remote Desktop Forum.
On Forum pages, there is an option to Post New Topic.
Click here for all iPod Forums.
Click here for all iTunes Forums.
More info here How Is Discussions Content Organized.
It can be confusing, but explore the different areas, and you will acquire a better understanding of the hierarchy.

Can't post a new discussion? Oh Yes I can...

Trying to post a question about an issue I am having and I get a message stating that I am not allowed to edit or post...
So I am trying this post here...
Need help deciding if the invalid Launch Agents/Daemon could be causing an issue with my MBP.
These are listed below but I do not see them in my Library/Launch Agents folder nor do I even see a Launch Daemon Folder in Librarys?
My biggest issue I am having is that my Mail seems to suck my memory so much that the app is paused and I am forced to quit apps.
This only started after updating to Yosemite.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Can't post on Aperture (or other Discussions)

Hi I was wondering if someone could help me. I just created a login profile, etc. a couple of days ago wanting to join the Aperture and Logic Discussions. I successfully did that.
When I'm in the Aperture and Logic Discussions, I notice that there is no "Post New Topic" button at the top of the page. As a result I can't post topics there. I've tried this on several machines with the same result.
For some reason in this Discussion, I can post (obviously).
Has anyone else run into this - no "Post New Topic" button in Dicussions? Is there something I need to do?
Thanks!

Hi b7AWb3!
You are probably on a Category page.
From the Aperture Category, select a Forum.
For example Aperture Installation, Setup, and General Usage.
On Forums, there is an option to Post New Topic.
Good Luck!

Two days ago, I have a new iphone 4S. After I installed the OS and start the iphone, I found a strange screen says "!9D/JC" that blocks the iphone and I can not access the iphone until click many times on the "Desmiss" button at the botom of the screen.

I appreciate if you could provide me support to solve this problem especially it consumes the battery a lot.

Another post originally dated 5th Feb, 2012 with a slightly different unheard of error "%7D/JC".

Hey try this. It's my post and I found a fix that might help you. It might not but it's worth a try if you are still having problems. You may have already tried it, so did I, easily over a hundred times now over the past 5-7 weeks now.
Hope it helps. Or if you find another fix, let me know for reassurance that if it happens again there's another way to get around the iTunes restoring problem.

Can anyone recommend an iPhone Back-up App?

Can anyone recommend an iPhone App that allows you to back-up, copy, &/or archive your files from the native pre-installed "Notes" App (independently of iTunes) ?
( I've found a few apps in the App Store that might work. However, everything I've discovered (up-to-this-moment) has gotten wildly varying reviews. In many instances people are saying that some apps used to work great, but then the developers wrote & published a so-called "update" and the update is actually working worse than the earlier versions ).
At any rate, It would be greatly appreciated if someone could send a reply if they've had a consistently good experience with an App that allows you to execute back-ups of your "Notes" files.
Kindly share the name of the App & your basic experiences(s) with it.
*[Copying of items in the Calendar, Camera Roll, & other items would be a nice bonus functionality].

To Daiya:
I'm NOT primarily aiming to insult you. However, this is one of those scenarios (&/or situations) where: if you're NOT up-to-date on current aspects of the available technology, then why are you even entering the discussion?
For your further edification (& those who may "stumble" upon this discussion)...
For my own reasons & purposes, I mainly use a Windows-based PC for most of my computing. There are several well-documented deficiencies & flaws with using iTunes to execute iPhone data backups. (Don't waste your energy trying to advise me what comprises a backup. I hold advanced university degrees & have been BUILDING computers for years). As a result of multiple iTunes deficiencies, there are several existing (3rd party) apps in the App Store that will allow an iPhone user to backup or transfer data from said iPhone on to other platforms (whether that platform be a PC computer, Mac computer, a virtual or "cloud" storage archive, or another mobile device).
I also work p/t in the broadcast journalism business. So, the writing in my initial posting was very clear (for someone who already has knowledge of those existing applications to which I referred). I was simply soliciting feedback from any persons who have already used some of those existing 3rd party apps to backup their address book, notes, camera roll, &/or other items from their iPhone.
Again, not aiming to be mean nor am I taking a pot-shot at your intellect (because I obviously do not know you from Adam or Eve). For all I know, you could hold a JD, MBA, or PhD. However, sometimes you have to "sit out" of some discussions if you don't possess a certain level of prowess or expertise with that specific topic.

APPLE/DEVS Read this! Windows 7 CAN'T detect the iPhone 5s but iTunes CAN detect it! WEIRD, huh?!..

just a summary...
i have a iphone 3G which i have been using for a long time and now i got an iphone 5s.. troubleshooting this kind of stuff is not new to me from computers to smartphones.. the internet has a vast majority of information and all you need to do is type in the right "KEYWORD".. i'm that kind of guy that looks for the answer before i try to look on it on my own.. i'm a DIY kind of guy as long as there is an instruction on how to do it..
now, back to the topic..
so i was trying to copy some of my pictures on my iphone 5s to my PC for backup purposes and to see the quality of the images but the portable device doesn't show up unlike my iphone 3G which is f***ing WEIRD.. been tinkering with this over the past 5 days since i have nothing to do and testing the new features of this phone but to no avail.. searched all over the internet but still none..
so last night, i was really determined since i can't sleep and also connected my iphone 3G to my PC while the iphone 5s is connected.. so here is what shows up on my devices and printers and device manager..
i can totally see the pics on my iphone 3G but not on my iphone 5s.. totally amazing.. good job apple!
the picture under devices shows my iphone 3G and the other 2 on unspecified is my iphone 5s.. the iPhone under there is being used as my source of internet since this is tethered so i can have access and post this in here so that APPLE will know how f***ed up their SOFTWARE is is..
so i downloaded itunes a couple of times, and i can't remember how many already, i think 5 times or more and then uninstalled all apple softwares (itunes, apple application support, apple mobile device support and etc as long as there is apple in it) and then reinstalled itunes but still none..
so i went on device manager removed my iphone 3G and the only one that would show there is the Apple Mobile Device USB driver under USB controllers..
and then i uninstalled the driver, looked for the driver myself by just it doesn't show up in here where you are directed to look for the driver and oh im using 64 bit just so everyone knows and i already found out that my system is using the usbaapl64.sys file in windows>system32>drivers..
so last night i installed, reinstalled itunes and then suddenly my drive D: was gone and i received an error or a "!" on my drive and my drive is not being detected.
Error: windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damage. (code 19).
i unstalled the driver in device manager and then scan hardware changes, updated the driver automatically and manually and it is saying that i have the latest hardware but i can't use my DVD drive with the error on it..
so today i searched for that e-fing error and found this http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/code-19-error.htm
"4. Uninstall Apple iTunes. While that may sound a little drastic, iTunes is the cause of enough Code 19 errors to make it into this troubleshooting.
If removing iTunes works, you might try installing it again from scratch, which doesn't always reintroduce the problem. See How to Properly Reinstall a Software Program for general advice."
so i then uninstalled my itunes, uninstalled my driver and then updated it and "walla!". i can see my DVD drive again. i am using iTunes64Setup v12.0.1.26 just so everyone knows and this setup can detect both my iphones and my iphone 5s is using the latest version which is iOS 8.1.2..
after reinstallation of itunes my DVD drive can be seen and just noticed how APPLE SOFTWARES are so ****** up.. CAUSING A LOT OF TROUBLE AND DAMAGES..
so going back to the topic..
i was able to find a way (AFTER HOW MANY HOURS of TROUBLESHOOTING) on how my iphone 5s was able to detect the portable device or should i say the images on my iphone 5s where the autoplay pops up and everything..
so i went on device manager, uninstalled apple mobile device USB driver, disconnected my iphone 5s, UNLOCKED my iphone 5s, connected it to my PC, clicked on TRUST this PC, on my PC the sound for a USB being connected sounded, and at the bottom right, automatically installed the drivers and then the autoplay popped up with the matching PORTABLE DEVICES on COMPUTER where i can browse the internal storage and the pictures..
so now i opened iTunes and BOOOM!
iTunes doesn't detect my iphone 5s but i can browse on the images on my phone..
so again i went to device manager, uninstalled the driver for apple iphone under portable devices, scanned for hardware changes, updated the driver manually by selecting drive C: so it would automatically find the correct drive..
so now, my iphone can be detected by itunes but not on my COMPUTER.. see how ****** UP this is?!.. JEEEEEEEEEZ!!
Now i finally found the SOLUTION on how to do this and vice versa.. UNTIL APPLE decides to FIX their SOFTWARE/DRIVER issues..
if you want to scan or browse the images on your iphone 5s on your computer all you need to do is do this:
[for those who don't know how to reach this part, here is a GUIDE on how to open this is: click on the device > click on update driver software > browse my computer for driver software > let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer]
and then you will see the screen below
click on MTP USB Device and then click on Next, after it finishes installing the drivers, your PC will automatically detect a new portable device but in order for you to access the images you need to go back on your phone, unlock it if it lock automatically and then click on "TRUST" and then you can now see the images..
BUT the problem here is that your iPhone can't be detected on iTunes...
now, if you want to go back to where your phone can be detected on itunes, just follow these steps:
click on apple mobile device USB driver, click on Next and then wait for your computer to finish the installation and then you will hear the beeping sound. check your phone, unlock it, then click on "TRUST", and then go to iTunes and you will now see your iPhone there but not on your PC where you can browse for the images..
SEE HOW THIS DRIVERS are so ****** up.. i wish i hadn't started using this ****** UP OS with all the BUGS and GLITCHES.. JEEEZ! and to think, these DEVICES are not CHEAP compared to Android devices on the market.. it's just because of how these people go with the trend that they purchase these kind of stuff and the only thing they use it for is calling or texting.. i, for once use this not for calling or texting but also for the apps that it has like the games, ebooks and etc when im bored..
i HOPE the Apple DEVS read this and find the solution on the drivers which is so ****** UP and so LAME!!
PS: i hope a lot of people who are having the same issue as what i had find this and help them with their concern even though this is not a permanent solution.. it is just a work around for folks that are looking for answers and solution.
Have a Great Day Folks and it is the start of a New Year and want to contribute something even though i don't usually posts my work around.

First, remove your personal information from your post. That's not needed here. This is a public forum, and it is unwise to provide your personal data online.
Second, here's how you reset your password and/or security questions.
How to reset your Apple ID password.
Go to iforgot.apple.com and type in your Apple ID, then click 'Next'.
Verify your date of birth, then click 'Next'.
You'll be able to choose one of two methods to reset your password, either E-Mail Authentication or Answer Security Questions.
If neither method works, then go to https://getsupport.apple.com
(If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
A new page will open.
Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.
Click the blue 'Continue' button.
Select the contact option that suits your needs best.
How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'. This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
If that doesn't work, or there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com
(If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
A new page will open.
Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
Click the blue 'Continue' button.
Select the contact option that suits your needs best.
