I See A Lot of Openbox Use Here

I noticed with Arch many people seem to use Openbox. I like it from what I have only seen in screen shots. My Question is is I am a little confused about Openbox as a WM. I am trying not to confuse WM from DE. I read the Wiki and just want to make sure I understand that Openbox is equivalent to Metacity or GTK2? If I am mistaken, I apologize. Can someone please correct me if I am wrong.
If I install Gnome, Gnome is my DE but then what is my WM by default?
If I install XFCE, I know XFCE is my DE but what does that use for a WM by default?

Does this mean that you have Openbox started via your .xinitrc and then rely on your openbox config to load a panel etc. Or you have xfce started with openbox as a replacement shell.
I tend to switch between a full xfce and a bare openbox depending on what I'm trying to get done or what kind of work I'm doing, so being able to have a nicely configured middle ground sounds pretty ace to me.
EDIT: That's an awesome link as well, thanks ArchArael
I use .xinitrc only for starting openbox. All other programs I need to start with openbox are in .config/openbox/autostart.sh. Everything I need is started by this script. Have a look:
# D-bus
if which dbus-launch >/dev/null && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi
#enable ctrl-alt-backspace terminate x
setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp &
#export de environment
export DE=xfce
#export openoffice.org environment; fix theme
export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome
#set modify some key mappings
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap &
# start a terminal
terminal -e fish &
#set wallpaper
nitrogen --restore &
# start panel
xfce4-panel &
#start network applet
wicd-client &
# start battery applet
batterymon &
#start screensaver
gnome-screensaver &
I don't use a desktop with icons. If and when I need to manage my files by using the mouse I usually launch thunar. I find that using shell makes my home folder more tidy.
You are welcome.

HT202667 Hi - My daughter was using her Apple TV until recently when she got a Smart TV. Now the Apple TV is not needed so she passed it on to me. How do I get it transferred over from her Home Sharing account to mine so that I can use it with my PC?

As Winston Churchill wrote, however you might want to do a factory reset on the Apple TV.
This way all information pertaining to your daughter will be removed from the device. Specifically if see was sign into any of the streaming service, Netflix, Hulu, etc. her credentials will still be associated with this Apple TV, doing a factory reset will remove all that and make it as if you purchased the device and just plugged it in.

HT204053 I have an iPhone 4S and the new Apple TV, both setup with my email as the Apple ID. I gave my wife an iPad 3 and set it up using her email address as the Apple ID. Is a second iTumes Match subscription required for her to use our music from iCl

I have an iPhone 4S and the latest Apple TV, both setup with my email address as the Apple ID. I subscribed to iTunes Match so our music could be played from iCloud. I gave my wife an iPad 3 and set it up using her email address as the Apple ID. When I try to turn on iMatch so she can play our music from iCloud on her new iPad it tells me that she needs a subscription to iTunes Match. Is it Apple's intent that we would need two iTunes Match subscriptions? If not, how do I accomplish what I want to get done?

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

I bought my iPhone 4 open line in Vancouver, Canada last week for use here in my home base in Bangkok, Thailand. But when I tried using my Thai sim, I get a very weak signal, if not a weak signal, then a no service status. What do I do?

I bought my iPhone 4 open line in Vancouver, Canada last week for use here in my home base in Bangkok, Thailand. But when I tried using my Thai sim, I get a very weak signal, if not a weak signal, then a no service status. I also have very weak wifi reception. What do I do?
I already tried the following:
a. Turned the phone off and then on.
b. Checked all wifi connections – no problem given that all our laptops and desktops can connect seamlessly.
c. I tried restoring the phone to original factory settings via itunes
d. Tried resetting the phone.
e. Tried different microsims from all networks
f. However, all methods failed given that the network reception is very weak and often reflects – “no service”. And with regards to the wifi reception It has difficulty in reading even the signal right in front of the wifi router.
I went to two Apple resellers here in Bangkok and requested that they please look at my Iphone and have it serviced. I was frustrated when they said that given that I bought my phone in Canada, they are not able to support me and should instead try to contact the Apple store in Canada.
I went to apple.ca website and went to the expresslane support and I was said to register and callback. Tried calling the 1800 number but given that I was in Thailand I had difficulty getting a connection.

1st sentence, 4th page of the iPhone warranty found here:
Apple may restrict service to the country where Apple or its
Authorized Distributors originally sold the hardware product.
From the Repair terms and conditions found here:
9. Availability of Service.
Apple may restrict service to the country where Apple or its authorized distributors originally sold the
hardware product, and to the countries listed in the table below. A list of authorized distributors is

If you do not believe that, then see these search results which confirm my statement.

Hello GJSCHUBERT,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities. The easiest solution may be to simply restart your router, but you can also see these resources:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
1. Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. Then tap .
2. If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, see this article.

But let me know the reason why you want T code other than QA01.

HT4623 My daughter update my iphone using her itunes acct., which caused all her apps to download onto my iphone. Now when it asks for my password it has her email address instead of mine. How can I fix the problem?

My daughter was updating her iphone to the iOS6 and everything went great. So, she was going to update mine. She used her itunes acct. instead of mine and it downloaded all her music and apps onto my iphone. Now when it asks for me to enter my password, it has her email address. How can I fix this???

plug your iphone into your computer with your itunes account signed in to update it, (if you want your own apps ect.) if all you want to do is change accounts signed in on the iphone than simply open settings and scroll down until you see itunes and app stores touch the apple id tip top and signout, sign yourself in. any apps she has "purschased" that you have not.. i imagine will just cease to work.
if you both share the same contacts, it won't be a big deal, however if you have work and her shcools numbers ect, and she just has mom/dad/buddies you may have double numbers and apps and what not by doing this, so if it does become a mess.. just get on itunes log into your account by clicking the store menu in itunes and going down to the account id on the bottom of that menu and just restore your phone.

My daughter has not used her ipod touch for 16 months and has forgotten her passcode. restore factory settings keeps failing due to a software update failure!

my daughter has not used her ipod touch for 16 months and has forgotten her passcode. restore factory settings keeps failing due to a software update failure!
how can i get this ipod reset. She now has an iphone so this is going to be used by someone else in the family and should be simple to do but itunes just keeps booting it out even though it recognises that it was previously connected to our itunes account as all of the children were on my account

That has nothing to do with an update server. Do the following:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes

Don't see inspection Lot in my SCM 5.0 system

Hi,
I try to activate the functionality to see inspection lot as planned receipt to the end of the control date.
I activate this functionality in the CIF's IMG on my ECC system and activate/desactivate the Integration model for stock. So now I don't have inspection lot in my stock.
I create and activate an integration model for Inspection Lot transfer but I never see this inspection lot in my SCM 5 system.
Could you help me ?
Best regards,
Laurent.

Hi Laurent,
In the location master data in the SNP tab please maintain appropriate stock category group in the field Stock Cat. group to display the inspection stock.
In the planning book the INITIAL STOCK macro reads the stock from this category group, you should maintain all the stock category that you want to use for planning like unrestricted stock, inspection stock, vendor specific stock in this category group.
Thanks,
Sanjog

My daughters iPod is using all my iCloud storage.how do I get her on her own iCloud and off mine?
Without losing all her paid for items.
I have an iPad and originally set up her iPod using my Apple ID for ease of purchasing.

You will need to Erase the Device and Set up as New using her Apple ID.
Then... Sync her content...
