If you are dealing with an unpaid L&I Bill

I'm not sure this will help many, but I remember looking around this forum for related topics and couldn't find any, so I'll put this here on the off chance someone ends up in the same boat. *I am not an lawyer, I have no legal education whatsoever, this is all purely based on my experience in WA state* First and foremost, it's never too late to send a bill to L&I. If a claim was ever opened and any part of it was accepted by L&I, then it doesn't matter if it's 2 years later and the bill is sitting with a CA or whatever, the bill can be sent to L&I by the OC, it *should* be sent to L&I if it was for the injury that the claim was opened for. If the OC tries to give you a hard time, understand that it's because they are afraid they will not get paid. It is the OCs responsibility to bill L&I in a timely manner and if they do not, L&I can deny payment, and you as the patient are not responsible for their untimeliness. So of course they might try to get out of sending the bill to L&I and instead get you to pay... don't let them do that. If you are being sued over a bill that should have been paid by L&I, this is your defense, DO ANSWER, don't ignore it. Immediately contact the OC and inform them that the bill is related to an L&I claim and that it needs to be sent to them, give them all info you have on the claim to make this easier, this should stop any collection attempts by a CA. Once the bill gets to L&I, it's just a matter of waiting for them to finish the review and decide. Last is just perseverance, these processes take time, but just keep with it. 

I think that's just SOP for tech support everywhere. And considering BC's business model is "fire your coders and do it yourself," I wouldn't assume that on average people reporting cases have any great technical acumen, and I wouldn't expect support to do the same.

    I believe its a huge waste of everyones time when the first suggestions is "flush your cache", or try a different browser... really? you don't think we;ve tried that all before actually submitting a case? web developers know what a cache issue is, they know what a server error looks like, and by using firebug all before they finally submit a case, we expect more than, works on our side, or try a different browser. save that for the non web developer tech support cases.
    just my two cents, I love the creative suite of products, but going back to DW MYSQL ftp and a good old LAMP server environment from hostgator is looking better and better everyday if this is going to be how bc partners are going to be treated. whether we have ten, or a hundred sites, a bc partner is usually a web developer and should receive the same level of support. I have most of my clients off bc, as they were clients before i became a partner. My plan was to migrate them over to bc eventually, but i am having second thoughts these days.

    Advisor [5:02 p.m.]:
    Unfortunately, audiobooks and ringtones are the only items on the iTunes store unavailable for re-download through iTunes in the Cloud. What I can go ahead and do is try and re-add these audiobooks back to your download queue for re-download. Please note if they have been removed or modified on the iTunes store they may not be available for re-download. Would this be okay?
    Customer [5:03 p.m.]:
    yes thank you!

    Excellent, one moment please.
    Advisor [5:05 p.m.]:
    I apologize but after reviewing your account, it looks like we have already issued 3 exceptions for you to re-download your audiobooks in the past. Back on 02/23/2013. I apologize but we will be unable to do another exception for you. 
    Customer [5:06 p.m.]:
    that down load did include the new books of the bible that I had.
    Customer [5:07 p.m.]:
    that down load did not have the new testament books of the bible that I had
    Advisor [5:07 p.m.]:
    While reviewing the notes, this was issued to add all available audiobooks bought on your account. I again apologize but I will be unable to issue another exception to you. As the previous advisor did inform you to make sure to back up your files.
    Customer [5:08 p.m.]:
    the other advisor did not down load the new testament books. The advisor did not restore all of the books that I had originally brought.
    Advisor [5:10 p.m.]:
    While looking closer, the books that you are missing are no longer available to be re-downloaded. This is the reason why they were not added back to your download queue when he issued them. Unfortunately, as we do not handle the content on the iTunes store you will need to get in contact with the publisher of the content as they were the ones two remove or modify these books on the iTunes store. If you would like I can provide a link to their support site.
    Customer [5:11 p.m.]:
    yes they are I saw them.
    Advisor [5:11 p.m.]:
    They may have been modified by the content owner. This will be the reason why they were not added. As Apple does not control 3rd party content on the iTunes store. You will need to get in contact with them as we are unable to re-add this content back to your download queue.
    Customer [5:12 p.m.]:
    it is I just looked at it in the itunes store
    Customer [5:13 p.m.]:
    the material is still the same. The store does have it.
    Advisor [5:13 p.m.]:
    Machelle, if the items have been modified since you bought them, they will be unavailable for us to issue them back to you. You will need to get in contact with the providers for these books as they are the content owners and we do not have access to issue these back to you.
    Customer [5:14 p.m.]:
    the are still the same bible books that I purchased at the store.
    Customer [5:14 p.m.]:
    The audio books are the same. When I buy it again nothing will be different.
    Advisor [5:14 p.m.]:
    Machelle, I understand this. This is what our records are showing. When the previous advisor tried to re-issue them to you they were unable to as they have been modified on the iTunes store.
    Advisor [5:15 p.m.]:
    In order to receive further support for this issue you will need to get in contact with Media Group as they are the content providers for these audiobooks.
    Customer [5:15 p.m.]:
    I will buy them from another source. Don't say they have changed. The books are the same books I brought. They are at the store.
    Advisor [5:16 p.m.]:
    Machelle, Apple does not handle the content for 3rd party publishers on the iTune

  • Adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem

    Hi,
      I got this message after importing about ten or so H.264 files that I encoded from Adobe media encoder.  "adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem."
    The files we're shot with HD cameras.  Edited in Premiere Pro CS3.  I installed the update 3.0.1 with still the same error.
    I also tried a brand new project and after about ten or so files being imported into a timeline, the system crash.  I tried this twice....
        Thanks in Advance

    Hi Hunt,
           Here is the skinny.  A window base PC.  footage shot with HD sony HD cameras,  Project imported to Premiere CS3.  Once completed sent file to Adobe media encoder and render them as H.264 widescreen high Quality.  Imported them to Adobe Encore CS3.  After about ten files or so.  I got the error message.  Did all the basic trouble shoot like restarting the computer, got latest patch.  Even build a new test project with the same problem.
        Something else I read in the forums, is the encore will transcoded the project to Mpeg 2 anyway, after looking at my project I realized those few files were indeed untranscoded.  So it will be a double compression and I dont want that.  So, my new question is, what is H.264 good for ?????????? I was research that Mpeg 2 is a faster render but H.264 is a slower render but better quality.....
       what do you think ????

  • What do you do when you try and sync your phone and it says you are synced with another computer and u are not?

    I am having trouble syncing ringtones and movies

    If it says you are synced with another computer, you are synced with another computer. The only alternative is you have wiped and reloaded the computer that you normally sync with, essentially making it a new computer.
    Use the search function, this question is asked on a daily basis.

  • HT5105 How can you do picture in picture when you are working with a Multicam clip?

    How can you do picture in picture when you are working with a Multicam clip?

    Im doing a drumming music video and with the multi cam clip all the angles are nicely sync'd top the audio.
    Problem is if i want to have 3 angles on top of the main shot, im gonna have to re-sync them all to get them to line up manually. If i could use the multi cam clip they will already be aligned
    Thanks for trying to help appreciate, hoping someone has some multiclip knowledge and will be able to tell me if yay or nay.

  • How do you guys deal with stress ?

    I am not sure if this question fits here,but i feel that stress and code are very closely related.Software industry is mostly related to stress which have its roots in insane deadlines,challenges in working in new technologies without much hands on,capitalist firms and retarded high level management.
    I guess a person who is frustrated and stessed can't even debug a piece of code correctly let alone desingning and coding.
    What can be done or is been done by experts all over the world to cope with stress ?
    Thank you for your consideration.

    Thank you for your consideration.Stress is a part of programming. If not from the external forces you mentioned, then from the challenge of problem solving. Programmers have to look at a challenge they have no idea how to accomplish, break it down into smaller goals, and form a larger picture from smaller problems that they can solve.
    Many beginners encounter this stress and imagine that they are the only ones who feel that way, or that it's a fact of programming that goes away with experience. After a few years of programming, it's not that you don't encounter that stress, it's that you know how to deal with it (or have the confidence to believe that you can accomplish a goal even though you have no idea how to start at first).
    Personally, I widdle away at problems that would otherwise stress me out by asking questions like "what is the absolute smallest next step I know I need to do?". After a few hours (or days or weeks depending on the size of the problem) of that, I probably have a better understanding of the bigger picture.
    Does that answer your question?

    Good news,, I dont need a super giant system,  I do simple editing for web videos, minimal graphics, no motion graphics, no animation etc. currently using CS4, will probably end up with 5.5.
    I want to get imac 21.5 or 27 if i have to..  So here's the question we all have,,, what do I really need besides an Apple fairy godmother to figure this crazy stuff out?????
    I want to be able to have firewire add on, but the rest is what I need help with.   So i've been looking at cs6 specs, even though im not there yet, eventually will be,, so just need to run cs4 now and build from there.  I also want to eventually move to final cut down the road so I want imac able to upgrade to final cut.
    WHAT DO I REALLY NEED MINIMALLY FOR NOW?  WHAT CAN I GET LATER IF i CHOOSE TO DO MORE AND NEED MORE POWER?
    cs6:
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.6.8, v10.7, or v10.8**
    4GB of RAM (8GB recommended)
    4GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
    Additional disk space required for preview files and other working files (10GB recommended)
    1280x900 display
    7200 RPM hard drive (multiple fast disk drives, preferably RAID 0 configured, recommended)
    OpenGL 2.0–capable system
    DVD-ROM drive compatible with dual-layer DVDs (SuperDrive for burning DVDs; Blu-ray burner for creating Blu-ray Disc media)
    QuickTime 7.6.6 software required for QuickTime features
    Optional: Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated performance
    Any responses would be great.  I know you guys are busy answering the really high end tech questions

    All the current iMac models (both 21.5" and 27" with OS X Mt. Lion 10.8) will run CS4, 5.5 and 6 just fine.  They will also run Final Cut Pro X just fine.  Ditto for most any application you may want to use.
    Below are some notes (specific to your apparent requirements) that may help you with your purchase decision:
    Notes on purchasing a 21.5" iMac
    All 21.5" iMacs come with 8GB RAM but you cannot add more later.  I strongly suggest getting the maximum RAM (16GB) when you order the iMac.
    The basic hard drive is a 1TB 5400rpm drive.  It will work fine with Adobe CS but you will probably want the added speed of the optional 1TB Fusion drive for better performance. Some people will recommend/argue for one of the optional SSD drives instead, but they are very expensive and still only come in relatively small capacities - I don't recommend the SSD drives.  Get the Fusion drive and spend any extra money on a good external hard drive for backup and/or extra storage instead of an SSD.
    Notes on purchasing a 27" iMac
    All 27" iMacs come with 8GB RAM and you can add more later, up to 32GB
    The basic hard drive is a 1TB 7200rpm drive - it will be fine with Adobe CS.  There are upgrade options to a 3TB 7200rpm drive or a 1TB or 3TB fusion drive - these will be fine also.  There are also SSD drive options, but I do not recommend them. (Same comments as above.)
    Notes on all the current iMacs
    iMacs no longer come with built-in CD/DVD drives.  If you need one, you will need to purchase the Apple Superdrive accessory drive ($79)
    All of the iMac graphic processors (GPU's) are compatible with Adobe CS 4, 5.5, 6
    It is very difficult to impossible to change or upgrade the hard drive later on, so don't buy low-end thinking you can add a better internal hard drive later.
    Be aware that Macs always come with the latest (most recent) version of OS X.  And OS X Mavericks (10.9) is due to be released soon (in the next month or two).  There is no guarantee that the older Adobe CS 4 or 5.5 versions will run on OS X Mavericks.  If you cannot upgrade to CS 6 in the near future, you may want to purchase now rather than after OS X Mavericks is released.
    For what it's worth, I'd recommend the 27" iMac if your budget can afford it.  You will appreciate the larger screen size and added capabilities over the years you will use the computer.

  • I've downloaded 6.0.2 several times. Each time the download doesn't "stick". I keep getting message "you are working with insecure version".

    1. Firefox downloads. On screen is "opening Firefox 6.0.2.dmg". I choose "Save File". It is saved in downloads. I open the file.
    2. I move Firefox icon into Applications Folder. Message the "Firefox.app" already exists in this location". I replace it. Firefox app copies.
    3. Next message is "updates available at http:www.firefox.com"
    4. Sometimes I receive message "you are using an insecure versions".
    Help, please and thank you.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Is there a way to undo after Photoshop has frozen and you are working with a recovered file?

    so this is exactly what happened...
    I had been working on an edit for way too long and of course i didnt save it the entire time because im terrible i guess, I wanted to see what the deal with Lens Flare was so i went Filter>Render>Lens Flare to check it out. I hated it and immediately removed the flare with no problems. Then I was going to go back to Lens Flare to see if i could adjust it into something sort of decent but i accidentally went Filter>Render>Lighting Effects and it locked my Photoshop up (yes my computer sucks). I then started to panic because of the extensive amount of time i put into this edit without saving it. I opened Photoshop and thankfully it loaded up the recovered file i was working on. Unfortunately it has the terrible lens flare from my first attempt attached to it and im not able to undo or anything. Is there anything i can do to get rid of the lens flare? any help is welcomed. thank you so much for your time

    Have you applied the Lens Flare destructively on the single Layer in the file?

  • Please post if you are happy with Time Capsule

    Of course I know that folks generally only post here if they are unhappy or having a problem with something. I am seriously considering purchasing the 1TB TC and would really like to hear if others are happy with its performance, both as a router and as a backup device.
    I have 4 Macs (24" Intel iMac, 20" Intel iMac, 2 Intel MacBoks) and one Win XP to be sharing the internet ......not all at the same time, of course. Only the Macs will be backing up to TC.
    What kind of network speed can I expect? Will I get the faster n speeds from this setup? Will having 4 computers backing up to TC affect the speed at all?
    I am simply interested in hearing from anyone who is successfully using TC and find it working well for them. Anyone like that out there? I hope, I hope, I hope .....
    Thanks!

    I am now. At first it had some problems, from what I can tell ALL related to the machine/device names having apostrophes in them. This is a standard Apple thing. When you setup your device (a Mac) it says enter your name. I entered "mrh" without the quotes of course. Many things got labeled: "mrh's thing..."
    So when TC arrived I hooked it up and had all kinds of problems with connections, backups failing, etc. When someone posted taking out the apostrophes in the names it all clicked and started to work.
    It does run warm. I put mine on my old aluminum heat shield for my MBP 15. The thing ***** heat away from it and it is staying nice and luke warm now.
    Speeds for me are acceptable. The only concern I currently have is I have two macs... 1 - MBP17 my main work Mac. 2 - MacMini used for music.
    The MacMini recently was freshly reloaded with leopard. It has little on it. When TM backed it up it said it was gonna back up 38g. That is what it did. The sparse bundle on the TC shows 38g roughly for the Mini.
    My MBP17 (which is hard wired) said it needed to backup 138g. At about 1/3 of the way through the backup it suddenly (unfortunately I was gone) said it was done. When I look at the sparse bundle for the MBP it shows barely 42g. So my question is did the initial backup work or not? It seems not. However TimeMachine is quite happy with the way things are and is showing history and everything just fine.
    I relay on TimeMachine for file recovery. So I'm not too concerned if it did miss something. I use SuperDuper on a weekly basis to a different disk for total recovery. I figure if everything really crashes I can replace the MBP (either it or it's drive) and use SuperDuper to do a full restore, then TM to get any files that need to be brought up to date.

  • Is there a function on LabView so when you are done with a sub vi you can return back to the main vi while i tis running?

    I went to VI properties and selecting for the front panel to open when called and close when finished, but it still doesn't close when I'm running the program.  What else can I do?

    These options do exactly what they say - they cause the subVI's front panel to open when the subVI starts running and they close the front panel when the subVI stops. This can be used, for example, for pop-up dialogs.
    My guess would be that you are using the abort button to stop the VI. This is a big no-no and causes all the running VIs to stop. What you should do is use the code to end the VI's run. If this doesn't help you, I suggest you post your code (File>>Save with Options>>Development Distribution) and explain what you're trying to do.
    To learn more, I suggest you read the LabVIEW user manual. Also, try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here and here are a couple you can start with. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
    In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide.
