Is anyone else tired of price changes?
I have been planning to order a Thinkpad X230 and have been watching the ever-changing prices on Lenovo's site. Is anyone else getting as tired of the daily changes as I am?
In the past few days I have seen the same configuration priced at a range of between $850-$969 and even one that was nearly identical at over $1000 - supposedly 15% off! Each time I try to work with a rep through chat I am told to put the item into a cart and save and then possibly they can offer deals. I am also upset that choices on warranty used to be available - no more. Now they tell me that the base warranty is included and I can upgrade at a later date - but again, no real prices to work with. It used to be that there'd be a sale for a week or so - now they tell me deals are based on the number of "coupons" available and can end at any time.
I am very disappointed with the purchasing experience and am really having doubts about buying direct from Lenovo. Thanks for listening to my venting!
HLily
Another wierd aspect is that Lenovo products have exactly same price in all eshops over here. Is that called a competition ?

Has anyone else tried to ungrade their iPhone or iPad and been required to change their apple ID to an email then not been able to upgrade apps under the old ID. how did you get Apple to fix it?
Yes. My ordeal started with the pre-order debacle when they cancelled my pre-order for no reason. I got the email notification and called the number they gave in the cancellation notice. I was told that it was a glitch in the system and that my order was not cancelled. She had to fill out some paperwork to help them gather data on who was getting these erroneous notifications but that my place in line was not impacted - still guaranteed to arrive on release day. I explained how important this was since it was my 15 year old son's big birthday present. No problem. On release day, I checked my online account and it still showed that the order had been cancelled. I called in just to make sure I was still on for delivery and was told that my order had been cancelled and there was nothing that could be done about it. The rep told me that if I wanted one that day, I'd have to go stand in line at the Apple or Verizon store like everyone else. There was no offer to help me jump in the line whatsoever. As you can imagine, I'm really ****** now that I hear there was, in fact, a way I could have been helped. I used to love Verizon. I, too, have been a long time customer. It seems they have been taking customer service notes from the likes of Comcast and Time Warner. I have completely lost faith in their ability to take care of me as a customer. Like you, I am evaluating options to leave this sinking ship.

Anyone else seeing their audio changing between sessions?
Something that's extremely annoying that has been happening to me in FCP X for a while now and I haven't figured out what's causing it: I setting my audio to -6 db throughout my project and then days or even weeks later, when I fire it back up, the audio is no longer pegging at -6db. It's usually lower. So if I go and change an attribute on that clip, the audio snaps back to where it was before. It's crazy.
I'm using the Limiter effect.
Anyone else getting this behavior?
ThanksYep, just fired up my feature film that I went through and perfected the audio levels a couple weeks ago and now they are all screwed up. The levels are not what they were two weeks ago.
Maybe this is a Limiter effect bug. -
Has anyone else had issues with changing how the time and date look on the status menu in Mavericks?
I'm trying to make it so the year displays, but haven't been able to figure out how to change that. I have the Day of the Week, Month, Day and Time only and I haven't been able to figure out how to do that in the Date & Time or the Language & Region Settings.
There is no option in System Preferences. However, it may be possible to set it with a "defaults write" command.
This page shows how to set the time and date format in the Terminal, but doesn't show whether you can add the year.
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/75116/i-want-to-change-clock-from-12h-t o-24h-mode-via-terminal
If you can find a description of Apple's date format code that includes the year, then it may be possible. Or not.
I'm guessing Apple thinks only Time Travellers need to ask what year it is... -
Anyone else tired of the "Do Not Disconnect"?
Is it just me or would many of you like myself like to have an ipod update that changes the "Do Not Disconnect" screen to a nice progress bar.
I dont know about you, but I think this would solve a lot of problems. Just think of all of the users disconnecting before the screen even changes. Perhaps if there was a progress bar, users would be able to see an estimation of the time remaining.
This is a Very needed update.I do not believe that you fully understand what the 'Do Not Disconnect' message means in all cases.
If you use your iPod with Disk Mode Enabled, then the 'Do Not Disconnect' message will be present on the screen even if there is nothing being transferred to it at the time. It will remain on the screen until you manually eject it.
A progress bar would be useless in this regard, since there is no progress to monitor.
The 'Do Not Disconnect' message works perfectly as it is. I do not see any reason to change its behavior. -
Anyone else tired of useless, lazy programmers?
OK, so I'm trying to get through some issues with Data Guard. I'm getting there. But it seems as though every time I turn around, I get an error message like this:
" ORA-16737: the redo transport service for standby database "ONBDG" has an error"
Well, thank you, Sherlock. I realize it's a bit of trouble to actually be really helpful, but COULD YOU POSSIBLY TAKE THE ADDITIONAL STEP OF TELLING ME WHAT THAT ERROR IS?!?!?!?!?*
It's like talking to the WORST END USERS IN THE WORLD EXCEPT THAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION+
"It has an error"... Thanks, ditzy blond. Can you read the actual error text to me? "No, I don't think so..." fume
It's the same thing in OEM. It says, "ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied." Great. COULD YOU POSSIBLY TAKE THE ADDITIONAL STEP OF TELLING ME WHAT PROCESS ON WHAT NODE IS TRYING TO LOG INTO WHAT USERID ON WHAT INSTANCE*
Worse yet, if you click on the link it provides, you get, "Data Guard Internal Error : See the OMS log for details."
Well, THANK YOU SHERLOCK. I ALREADY FIGURED THAT OUT. COULD YOU POSSIBLY BE BOTHERED TO GET SOME DETAILS AS TO THE NATURE OF THIS ERROR?*
What is the point of making a CLICKABLE LINK if all you're going to do is point me to a LOG?
The Website is the same way. You put in an error code looking for some explanation, and most of them just repeat the text that the original error message gave to you. COULD YOU BE A LITTLE MORE LAZY? MAYBE JUST TELL ME THAT YOU CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO ACTUALLY GIVE SOME INSIGHT AS TO THE NATURE OF THE ERROR*
Oracle may be popular because of its performance, but as for it's support and error reporting, it's horrible, it's immature, it's lazy, and it's ditzy.
And it's probably that way because they know they can get away with it.
</rant>Looking on the bright side...at least it's Friday :-)

Anyone else dismayed by Apple changing bumpers to fit VZW iPhone4?
The subject of the thread says it all, but my heart sank when I read that Apple re-worked the att iphone4 bumpers to fit the vzw iphone4. I guess I was under the impression that apple/vzw were entirely confident in the vzw iphone4's reception. I'm thinking they might just be preempting another antenna-gate.
Spiral wrote:
I don't think they re-worked the bumpers in anticipation of an antenna problem. As the previous posters have indicated, many people like to have some type of protection for their phones and Apple knows a good deal when they see one. Sell a $2.00 (or less) bumper for $29 and rake in the profits.
Haha so true. Apple overprices a lot of products, like the Bumper, but people still buy them because they're made by Apple. I'll gladly pay $29 for a Bumper. -
Anyone else tired of all these NON-Enterprise posts?
Its becoming more and more difficult to find actual business related posts in here with all the whining about warranties, unlocked phones, overseas purchases and other general use questions...
It is required that all smart phones have a data plan. Read the customer agreement. If you add a smartphone to a non smart phone line ATT has the right to add a data plan. All smartphones use some data, it's unavoidable. As soon as the loaner phone connected to the network, the IMEI registered with ATT and they knew you had a smart phone on the service.
You can reduce the data plan on your husbands line. You can also remove data once he is back on a basic phone.
As for your data use. Look in your phone settings. It will tell you exactly how much data you are using and which apps are using data. If your phone says 7 GBS then you used 7 GBS.
Once you see what uses the data you know what to cut back on.

Restricting PO Price Change (ME22/ME22N)
Hi Guys,
Restrict Purchase Order Price Change:
We want to restrict buyers from changing the price on the purchase order/Contracts after it has been created. So basically restrict them from making any change to the PO price within transactions ME22/ME22N/ME32/ME32K. We would like to provide the buyer with flexibility to change the price within a given tolerance level, if possible.
Has anyone instituted this type of practice? If yes, what are all the different methods which could be used to achieve this? What are the Pro/Cons for each of the methods?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Shobha.Hi Charlie,
Thank you for such a quick response, but I need to clarify something you stated:
<i><b>"you can make display in M/06 tcode but you can put the price change tolerance here" .</b></i>
Did you intent to say that ""you can make display in M/06 tcode but you can <b>NOT</b> put the price change tolerance here"?
Additionally, I haven't found anywhere else where the price change within tolerance can be set, beside the user exit option. Do you agree?
Please respond...
Thanks..

I just updated to iTunes 11. This version will not allow me to change info on any songs. Have always use "command i" with previous versions. Anyone else experiencing this problem? A solution?
Hey! I had the same problem you did just today when I was trying to get my second iPhone to sync. What you need to do with music or anything extra that you doing you have to creat a second playlist or picture or anything that you would like to use, so that you can add to the second device that you are going to be using. I am not sure if that will help but it helped me out a lot!! Good luck!

Changed group membership in WGM 10.6.3 from the 10.6 server. The change takes overnight to work. Formerly ran WGM from my 10.6.8 mac (worked perfectly) but now I am at 10.7.5 and must use WGM on the server. Has anyone else seen this behavior?

If I've understood you correctly I've never known this or anything else to take that long? What were you trying to do exactly?

I have a local VI that is simply a control that writes to the datasocket server whenever the control value changes.(the dataitem on the server is permanent - its initialized and never released by the server)
In the same local VI I have a datasocket read polling a different dataitem on the server.
The remote machine has a VI that reads the permanent dataitem on the server once per second.
For some reason, after adding the local VI mentioned above, the remote VI stopped picking up the first change in the permanent variable.
I'd start both the local and remote VIs...
Then change the local control and the remote V
I would not update - as if the datasocket write(upon adjusting the control) did not take place. So I'd change the control value again - this time the remote VI would update to this new value. And from here on out - the remote VI would update correctly. This problem only occurs when the local VI is first started up.

Gorka is right, this came up on Info-LV a few days ago. Someone
described a similar problem. I replied that I had seen similar
behaviour, reported it to NI, and they verified a bug. There is no fix
yet, but they are aware of it and will fix it. No anticipated release
date for the fix.

Is anyone else having trouble sending mail on an iMac running 10.6.8. I get a messsage that the server can't be accessed. Apple help suggests using a different port from the one that was originally set. I have a Mobile Me account. Any suggestions?
I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot! -
