Incompatibility...can't believe it!
I was recently so unimpressed with what an apple customer agent told me: iweb 08 and 09 are not compatible. i made sure i had clearly understood by asking:
"this means that anyone who has a webite on iweb 08 and upgrades to iweb 09 cannot transfer their websites?" he answered that this was correct.
i was able to transfer my 08 website to my 09 version but he said i was lucky.
the problems for me were that i had to switch a 09 domain to an 08 iweb account...that's where it messed up and the technician said there was nothing he could do.
i buy macs because of their user friendly applications. but to me, this is not user friendly...
anyways...if you have thoughts on this, i'd love to hear them.
What the guy told you was incorrect. If you upgrade from iWeb 08 to 09 then you can still open your domain files without a problem. Just remember to back up your domain files before upgrading though.
You can't go backwards though - your can't open an 09 domain file with 08, but the other way around should not be a problem.
As for your domain name - this actually has nothing whatsoever to do with iWeb itself - the domain name is entered via your MobileMe account and then forwarded through your domain registrar. The way in which you publish from iWeb 08 and 09 to MME are slightly different, but this should make no difference to your domain name with MME.
Different matter if you are publishing to an external server though.

840 pounds to fix my Mac! I can not believe in Apple anymore
I have used iphone, ipad and quite happy with Apple for a long time. Then, I bought a brand new Macbook air 2014.
Last Saturday, my friend drop some water on the face of my Mac ( when i am closing it down, and no liquid fell into my keyboard). So how can i think someworkng will happen?)
In Sunday, i tried to turn it on but nothing happen. Therefore, I brought it to Genius Bar- Covent Garden to ask for a help. Surprisingly, they suggest I should go to Istore to fix this and ignore to help me open it out to dry things ( U know that it is quite harmful that u leave it for a long time)
I had to book an appoitment so I came back to my home in Southampton. The Genius Bar Southampton said it is 840 pounds to fix- much more than buying a new one.
i Bought it for 3 months. So i lost everything after 3 months, and Apple did not help me to reduce the harm, Macbook is quite sensitive with water, they said that water destroyed my mainboard, hardware, keyboard( no water drop to it? just in cover) It is quite a nightmare!UPDATED: my friend just fixed it out in 30 minutes and cost 0 pound. Can u believe that, my Mac is now run smoothly. He is working in computer engineering, and i dont have to pay money for any mainboard, keyboard, hardware,..He said that just a chip went wrong and it takes 30 minutes to fix it.
I am sorry that I have not expressed my opinion in detail. I already known that it is neccessary to pay money to fix because liquid is not guarantee in Apple 1 year polIcy. But i am not happy about Apple attitude to help me fix my problem. AND the cost is EXTREMELY high, now i cost 0 pound to fix it. And do not have to change anything.
IT is true story, u guys can check my appoitment in Apple store Genius Bar today( Southampton), and I wil show u my Mac' image now.
THank for your comment, at least u are caring about my case;) -
Recharging my iPod shuffle (3rd gen.) on my 2009 iMac (OS 10.5.8) goes extremely slowly (via usb port at the back). This is mainly because recharging stops when my mac goes to sleep. I just can't believe that Apple doesn't have a sollution for this, but I haven't found it yet... What's the most efficient way of recharging?
Purchase a wall charger for it instead.

I have read the posts and can't believe it, someone needs to tell me again. I have an 8th grade student who just bought and brand new iMac G5 and it doesn't work with FCP 4.5, can this be really true? These kids don't have jobs and can't afford a copy of FCP 5. I just need this verified...
Apple didn't release it. Thier stance is upgrade to FCP 5.
Here's the hack:

You either need to either:
1) use the following hack -

Can't Believe Catastrophic Failure Not Mentioned
I've looked at every post for 20 pages and I haven't found the answer to this very basic question.
Suppose you have used time machine to an external drive (Time Capsule for me) and the iMac you are using dies (dead, dead, dead). So, you buy a new iMac and you want your files back from Time Machine. I have a new iMac, it already has Leopard installed and now I simply want my data files back (I don't need the operating system and I never backed it up).
Apple basically ignores this scenario, yet it must be EXTREMELY common. I found one link that says just name your new computer exactly the same name as your dead one but don't use any apostrophes or blanks. However, OS X actually named my computer (like: Zach Smith's Computer) in file sharing. Yep, with an apostrophe and blanks. Here is the link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306928
So, I guess I name the new computer the same "illegal" name as the dead one? There must be a simple way to access the Time Machine file with a new computer and just restore data files. I can't believe this is so difficult. Remember, it's not if your machine will die, it is WHEN your machine will die.
Will someone please help me out? And, what about the OS X problem of naming the computer in defiance of their own rules. I know you can change it, but how many folks actually think that Apple would default to an unrecognizable name for TM?
I guess I'm ranting, but this is such an obvious omission.Charles Cole wrote:
THANKS! I haven't tried it yet, but I assume by "Go to.." you literally mean the "Go to folder" selection in under "Go" in Finder.
I didn't mean any particular fashion. The Time Machine drive is an external drive like any other.
I didn't know you could access files inside the "sparse bundle" folder this way.
There should be some way to access those files. Try double-clicking it. It will probably just ask for a password and mount it as a new drive. Then copy your file over.
That is what makes Time Machine a very good backup system. You don't need Time Machine to restore your files. You can use Time Machine and they provide a fancy interface, but it isn't required.
Would it kill Apple to let us know this?
There is probably a tech note or web page somewhere that explains it. -
The new iOS 6 is draining my battery so fast I can't believe it. Any ideas?
I can't believe how fast it's draining my battery. Seriously they have to fix this or let us downgrade. 4 s doesn't get 4 G like the i5 so we shouldn't have this bad of a battery drain. If I knew it was going to be this bad I never would of upgraded. Now I'm going to but the battery case but apple still has to do something about this. Anyone have any ideas or opinion on this?
Totally agree. My battery last 2-3 hours, even after I turned off location services, location services, auto-brightness, and a million other things. APPLE, PLEASE COME OUT WITH A FIX SOOOOON or else I'm switching phones. I need a phone to last at least a DAY for emergencies, etc. PLEASE, we're begging you! Any other ideas? My iTunes on my phone also doesn't play my songs right away...it takes like a minute to load and play a single stinkin song! So lame

Ive gotten 3 responses from you guys. But still no help. Can't believe it's taken this long for apple to respond to this issue and I'm very disappointed that all I did was take precaution from left to my account info and my account has been disabled since. Sad that we can't do any updates to equipment I've spent so much money in. Hope this is resolved real soon.
Who exactly are you addressing this post to? And what exactly are you posting? We are just users like you, and have no idea what you are referring to. If there is something you would like to ask - user to user - please do so. Otherwise, you are wasting your time complaining about Apple, since we are not Apple.

After this 1.0.7 OS upgrade yesterday my PB still will not open TXT or HTM file attachments, Bridge files will not recognize MUSIC or VIDEO files on the PB or my PHONE. I have previously filed a support claim about this to get it corrected and each time RIM ends up sending me a link to a page saying these files are not supported. Well, I went to support to file another claim about the above problem and I get the following message!
Unfortunately, your BlackBerry® PlayBook tablet does not qualify for Complimentary Support. You can, however get assistance using incident based support from Research In Motion. With BlackBerry® Incident Based Support, you can receive support from the BlackBerry Technical Support team by providing your credit card information (American Express, MasterCard, Visa) before your support issue is addressed.
I received my PB 92 days ago and they still have not fixed it and they want me to PAY! I can't believe this!That is simply incorrect. Contact your country's Blackberry Playbook Tech Support and give them your playbook PIN or serial number. They will be able to help you, because the 90 day period is being extended, for free. If the agent somehow tells you you have to pay, demand to speak to a supervisor.

Why did my camera flash and flashlight quit working on iPod 5 I did a complete restore just to see and still nothing have only had for a week so I can't believe it would be broken already any ideas
If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

Can't believe how easy to problem was to solve!
I can't believe how easy it was for me to solve my really worrying dilemma. My iPod wouldn't play the videos which were put onto it and it turned out that all I had to do was change the TV output setting to off! And then it gloriously worked (followed by me running around to house in exctiement, relief and happiness!!) Thanks to everyone who tried to help. I still cant get over how easy it was to solve! All this worrying over something so small lol
For the love of ...
Why aren't "Video Settings" listed in "iPod -> Settings" menu!!!! That's horrible design. They must have hired someone from Microsoft to write that module!
Thanks for listening. I feel better now. -
Can't believe that I can't run music videos simultaneouslly on ipad. ust spent 2 days trying to do it. Downloaded 2 Apps but they just keep freezing. Come on Apple this must be easy to fix!
first then this is a user helping forum only users like you read or write here if you want apples ear
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
other then that it's unclear what you are trying to do or if it's 1 or 2 things
playing music videos simultaneously would imply you trying to play more then 1 at once, this is not something it support out of the box I'd say.
then there is the 2 apps, are you refearing to apps which should let play many music videos at once?
and do they freeze when you try to download them, or when you try to start them,
and maybe the name of the apps, in question would make it easier for people to help. -
I had a girlfriend buy me an ipod for my mom's music at her Celebration of Life and someone took it. Is there a way to track it down? She did register it. I can't believe someone did this to me on one of the worst days of my life.
Unfortunately, unless you set up an iCloud account on the iPod and turned on Find My iPod before it was stolen, no. Even if you did do that, there are many ways it could fail (for example, the thief could wipe it clean or not try to connect to a network or the network's location might not be known). But, you could try it by logging in to iCloud and using the Find My iPhone applet.

How do you move a file to the trash with ONE keystroke (Can't believe I'm wasting time on this!)
Everytime I want to send a file to the trash, I have to either perform some kind of key combination/shortcut or use the trackpad/mouse, right click and select "move to trash", or drag the file(s) to the trash! This is absolutely ridiculous. Why can't I just press the delete button??? I cannot take it anymore! It's such a waste of time.
After some research, I finally found a post with the answer I was looking for from user par larsson
Re: How delete a file in mac os x?
"You can also go into System Preferences and make a new keyboard shortcut. I turned one of the function keys into a "Move To Trash" key.
1. No need to use the mouse for something that should be simple and quick.
2. Single button press just like in Windows."
Seriously!
Now the problem is how do you do this?
1. I went to the system prefs > Keyboard > Keyboard and checked "use F1, F2, etc... as standard function keys.."
2. Under keyboard shortcuts, I selected "Application Shortcuts" and clicked on the "+" sign
3. I selected the finder application, entered "Move To Trash" in the action box, and F12 as the key (because it's next to "delete")
That did not work. It just opened the dashboard instead.
4. I went back to "keyboard shortcuts" and found F12 was already assigned to open the dashboard. So I unchecked it and tried again.
That still didn't work. I would select the file to be moved to trash, press F12, and after an error "beep" sound, the last file in the folder was highlighted.Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU DID IT! I cannot believe it!
I changed "Move To Trash" to "Move to Trash" and selected a file. I had lost all hope, so I took a minute to prepare myself for yet another moment of deep frustration. Then I pressed F10, and bang! the file was trashed!!! It took me a couple minutes to actually believe what just happened. Thank you so much! If I could, I would "like" you as many times as I can physically hit the "Liked" button!
PS: what the heck is wrong with Apple though??? Wrong instructions, incorrect help instructions on their own site. The chances of figuring this out before having a nervous breakdown were like one in a million (approximately, I did not actually do the math). Last week, the keyboard and the trackpad stopped responding on my brand new macbook pro for a couple hours. I was not the only one with this problem. Apparently, this was from a design flaw, which means it could happen again at any time. iMovie doesn't work. TextEdit keeps crashing all the time. Emptying the trash can take hours.
Since 2000, I bought a PMac G4 Quicksilver, a used PMac G3 Blue, a used iBook G4, a used Pismo PBook G3, a used Graphite iMac G4, a used iMac G3 (green, 233MHz I think) and I already had more problems with this brand new macbook pro than will all the other macs combined... For such an expensive machine, with 16GB of RAM, that's a little dissapointing, especially from Apple. Maybe I'm just not lucky.
Anyways, thanks again! Best moment of 2014! -
The Apple helpdesk told me that my iPhone 4 does not have the function to keep sent mails stored. I cannot believe that. My iPhone 4 has a Sent box, I have checked the Sent box in Configuratieo--> E-mail, ...Calender..,but the Sent box is always empty after I have sent an E-mail. I know that the E-mails arrive at their destinations. How can I activate the Sent box?
lol the person you talked to at Apple was not very bright.
Of course you can have sent items in your mail on the iPhone 4. I have mine there all the time.
Sounds like you might have issues with the software.
I recommend trying a reset, send email and see if that goes to the sent items directory
If not do a restore.

Can't believe the caching bug is STILL there
Hi,
I MUST be missing something. It can't be true that this has not been fixed after so many years.
So well, the problem is, every time you load an external asset or file, say for example using a Loader object or a URLLoader object (the same happened in AS2 with MovieClipLoader, LoadVars, XML.load() etc etc, and even before with loadMovie, etc) - every time you load a file, the Flash Player caches that file, and this is independent from your browser: it is Flash Player's own (and primitive) caching mechanism.
Whenever you load a file with the same URL again, no matter whether the file has been changed or not, Flash Player will use the cached copy, and there's NO WAY to prevent that - there are a few workaround that I will discuss later but they don't solve the problem completely, besides being terribly combersome.
Now, the HTTP protocol has a wonderful mechanism to manage the caching of files in an intelligent way, which has been working for years and, I think, was invented even before flash existed, however at least 10 years ago, and it works fine.
If an HTML page has an IMG tag with an image, for example, and if the browser has already a cached version of the image with that URL, the browser will first ask the server for that file and declare it has a cached version with date xxx; if the server's file is not newer than xxx, then the server replies that the file has not changed and the browser can use its cached version (or insist to redownload it if he wishes). But if the file on the server is newer, the server will reply with the new file, and the browser will NEVER show an obsolete cached version of the image (or whatever file).
Now, I don't know why, Flash Player was designed in a very primitive way that ignores this whole mechanism provided and standardised by the HTTP protocol. Flash Player will ALWAYS use a cached version of the file if he has one, it won't worry about veryfying whether it is obsolete or not.
So, unless the user clears its cache, whenever you update an xml, txt, jpg or whatever file that is loaded within your flash application, users that have previously visited the page may still see the old version.
Now, there's an easy workaround for ensuring that a cached version of the file is NEVER used, which is appending a "?somerandomname="+n to the filename, where n is obtained for example as n=(new Date()).value(); in order to ensure that it is always different.
This way, the complete url of the file is always different and the cached version will never be used.
However, this is not a solution either. For small text files it is ok, but for images and swf's for example, you DO want the cached file to be used IF it is not obsolete. Otherwise, returning visitors will always have to wait for the complete download time of everything, including files that have been downloaded yesterday and have not been modified.
So, this problem has been solved ages ago by the HTTP protocol, but the Flash Player is naive and ignores it.
I used to use 2 workarounds: the one I have mentioned for small files (texts, xml's), and the following one for files that can be updated every once in a while:
In the main html page, I append "?lastupdate=dddddd" to the swf name, where dddddd is a manually edited date of the last time something relevant has been updated. So for example:
<object ....... etc etc> <param name="movie" value="mainswffile.swf?lastupdate=20090625"/>... <embed etc etc etc src="mainswffile.swf?lastupdate=20090625"/></object>
Or something like that.
When I update some of the files that are to be loaded, I manually edit the "lastupdate" thing in the html.
Then in the ActionScript programming I use the _root.lastupdate variable to append to the filenames of images or assets I load.
All this is horribly cumbersome and error-prone. Image you deploy a website to a client that will be able to update his own texts and images: you have either to explain him how to edit the html file also, or create some complicated server-side or client-side script to manage the cache-avoiding system. That is, reinventing the wheel, in this case the cache.
Every time a new version of the player was released, I expected it to fix the stupid caching problem and to make my cumbersome tricks obsolete and unnecessary.
I expected to see that the new version would make proper use of HTTP caching protocol specifications, and use cached files ONLY when they are not outdated, after verifying it with the server according to the HTTP protocol.
Every new version of the player was a disappointment.
Then I hope the new version of the language, Action Script 3.0, would fix this.
No, it seems it doesn't.
I've done some tests with AS3 and with my great and sad surprise, the caching "bug" is still there.
Well, the bug, not the "bug": this is a bug proper, because there's no reason why it should work this way.
So, my question is.
Maybe am I missing something? Is there a way, by using some method or property of URLLoader, Loader and/or URLRequest, to tell Flash Player to use the cache in an intelligent way? I mean, in a not-astonishingly-stupid way?
Note that I'm not talking about forcing it to NOT USE cache at all: I mean using a cached version when it is appropriate, and redownloading the file when needed, as all decent http application have done for years.
Perhaps there IS a way to solve this.... It should be the default behaviour and should be transparent, but however, if there is a SERIOUS fix (not a hackaround), that would at least solve the problem.
Do anybody know of a method that really works?
(I have read of people trying by using http headers with caching directives but without success; or in the best case maybe they were able to force never-caching, which is NOT a solution as I explained)
Thanks in advance.
And if there is any Adobe developer listening, please fix this bug since it is really a shame that an application written in 2008 or 2009 suffers from a problem that was elegantly and definitely solved in the XX century.
Regards,
m.I wrote a long reply and when I posted it it vanished.
I had even control+c'opied it before submitting but it didn't even get into my clipboard.
Shame on this forum (sorry to say that, but that's what I have to say).
So, I'll try to write it again but it won't be the same: the amount of rage is augmented.
Thank you BWolfe for letting me know that Flash now (since last year) has a bug management system. It was also such an enormous shame that it didn't have one.
Adobe used to confuse bug reports with feature requests; now this kind of confusion is still partially there and it is reflected by the voting thing, which is an absolute aberration. In a decent bug management system, the developers take the responsibility to give the bugs the priority they deserve; and no matter how low the priority, even the smallest bug ALWAYS get into the queue.
Now this bug we are discussing has been well known for AT LEAST EIGHT YEARS and I am not exaggerating at all, as I started using flash in 2001 and the issue was already mentioned here and there in forums etc; probably some blind people didn't see it as a bug (rather as a situation you have to face or work around), but it was known. And the very solution, as I already pointed out, was there even before Flash was conceived (well, for the sake of scientifical rigour, I should say, before Flash was commercialized): the HTTP protocol has the capability to perfectly manage file caching in a manner transparent to the higher layer.
So, since I don't believe that nobody at Adobe (formerly Macromedia) has heard about a bug that every intermediate-level actionscript developer in the world knows of, it is already kind of a shame that we have to report it in 2009, but that's ok. But that we have to get votes, no, that's an insult.
Jesus, ActionScript is a programming language, man, A PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE... it is not like Photoshop or Premiere; and it seems like in so many years, people who manage it haven't yet realised it completely.
Big Brother contestants should be voted. Feature requests may be voted. Bugs cannot be voted should just be fixed one by one as soon as possible.
Well, sorry for the rant and thank you for the answers.
Hope this gets through this time.
