Is it just me or are the idiot "Windows support" calls coming back.....

If I was a scammer, I would. So many are confused about Windows 10, so it's a prime time for it.

Just got my second one it 10 minutes. I guess the release of Win 10 is bringing back the slime!

When I try to download a software up date for another program in Binary File (eg. C Cleaner or a Microsoft file) in Firefox they all just come up in the download window as 'Canceled'? When I go to the destination folder the download file icon is there with 0 Kb's for size...Then when I click 'RETRY' the download it appears to download fully, but when I go into the destination folder the downloaded file is not there? I need to know if there is something in the Firefox options to resolve this problem or much more!!

If all .exe files are blocked, antivirus software is most likely configured to block them. See if you can download these with your antivirus and/or security software disabled.

I have an editable pdf made in Acrobat. Viewing it Adobe Reader Mobile (Android) and I can fill it fine. I want to be able to fill the form but it keeps autosaving. I just want to email the form and then it goes back to an unfilled form. How do i do that?

Currently, Adobe Reader for Android does not provide an option to disable auto-save.
In the Reader home screen (where your files are displayed), you can make a copy of the original PDF document, open the copy (instead of opening the original document), make changes to the copy. Once you email the copy, you can delete it.
For more information, please see Help > How To... > Copy, edit, delete, manage.
Although it is not the most convenient way to accomplish the task, that's the only feasible workaround that is available in Adobe Reader for Android right now.

What are the objects that support variables?

What are the objects that support variables?

Using Variables: The Variable Wizard and the Variable Editor
Definition
Variables are parameters of a query that you defined in the Query Designer and that are filled with values when you execute the query or Web application. They serve as a store for characteristic values, hierarchies, hierarchy nodes, texts and formula elements, and can be processed in different ways.
The processing type determines how a variable is filled with a value for the runtime of the query or Web application.
There are different types of variables depending on the object for which you want to define variables. These types specify where you can use the variables.
Variables are reusable objects. This means that when you define a variable for a query in the Query Designer, this variable can be used in all other queries. Variables are not dependent on the InfoProvider, only on the InfoObject. A variable that you define for an InfoObject is available in all InfoProviders that use this InfoObject.
Use
Variables enable you to customize queries flexibly (parameterize the query) possible. If you use variables in the Query Designer, do not select any fixed characteristic values, hierarchies, hierarchy nodes, texts, or formula elements. Instead, set up variables as place holders. These are then filled with values when the query is running (when you insert the query into a workbook, when you refresh the workbook or when you execute the query on the Web. You can use one query definition as the foundation for many different queries if you use variables.
You want to create one query for all the people responsible for customer groups, who each only evaluate the data for one customer group. In the Query Designer, you insert a variable for the characteristic u2018customer groupu2019. Just before the query is executed, decide for which customer group(s) you want the query to apply to.
There are two tools in the Query Designer for designing and changing variables.
The variable wizard takes you step-by-step through the process of defining a variable. Each individual step is context-sensitive and is adjusted according to the combination of variable and processing types used. This means that the variable wizard only offers the selection options that are permitted for that combination of variable and processing types. For more information, see Defining Variables with the Variable Wizard.
The variable editor dialog box offers all of the selection options for changing an existing variable. The individual fields in the dialog box show the settings affected in the variable. You can change these settings here. If you want to make the changes using a step-by-step process with explanatory texts, you can jump to the variable wizard using . For more information, see Changing Variables in the Variable Editor.
Integration
The variable wizard and the variable editor are functions in the Query Designer and are context-sensitive.
In principle, the two dialog boxes appear wherever you can enter constants (that is, values) in input fields. One of these input fields is the Entry of Variables checkbox. If you select this option, the following options for using a variable appear, instead of a fixed value:
·        The variables that are available appear in the dropdown box for the input field. You can select a variable from the dropdown box.
·        The symbol Change Variable appears next to the Entry of Variables checkbox. You can change the variable using . The Variable Editor dialog box appears.
·        The symbol New Variable appears next to the Entry of Variables checkbox. Choose if you want to create a new variable. The Variable Wizard dialog box appears.
By way of an example, when defining conditions for the value limit of the condition, you can not only enter fixed values but also formula variables. Mark the Entry of Variables checkbox and you can then use the options described above. The settings are context-sensitive so that the formula variables that only those formula variables that are available appear in the dropdown box. The variable wizard is set up automatically in the same way for entering formula variables.
You can also get to the variable wizard and the variable editor from the context menu of those objects for whose values you can define variable placeholders. From the context menu, choose New Variable. The SAP BW Variables Wizard appears. In the context menu for variables that have already been defined, you can choose Edit. The SAP BW Variables Editor appears.
In the InfoProvider objects dialog box, you select a characteristic (for example, Order) and from the context menu, choose New Variable. You reach the variable wizard, which is already set up for you to enter a characteristic value variable.
In the InfoProvider objects dialog box, you select a characteristic value variable and from the context menu, choose Edit. You reach the variable editor where you see all of the settings for the variable. You can make changes to the variables here.
Variable Types
Definition
The type of variable being used. This determines the object that the variable represents as a placeholder for a concrete value.
Structure
There are different types of variables depending on the object for which you want to define variables. These types specify where you can use the variables.
·        Characteristic Value Variables
Characteristic value variables represent characteristic values and can be used wherever characteristic values are used.
If you restrict characteristics to specific characteristic values, you can also use characteristic value variables. See, Restricting Characteristics.
·        Hierarchy Variables
Hierarchy variables represent hierarchies and can be used wherever hierarchies can be selected.
If you restrict characteristics to specific hierarchies or select presentation hierarchies, you can also use hierarchy variables. See Selecting Hierarchies
·        Hierarchy Node Variables
Hierarchy node variables represent a node in a hierarchy and can be used wherever hierarchy nodes are used.
If you restrict characteristics to specific hierarchy nodes, you can also use hierarchy node variables. See Restricting Characteristics: Hierarchies
·        Text Variables
Text variables represent a text and can be used in descriptions of queries, calculated key figures and structural components.
You can use text variables in the description of calculated key figures, restricted key figures, selections and formulas when you create them. See Defining Calculated Key Figures, Defining Restricted Key Figures, Defining Selections, and Defining Formulas.
You can change the descriptions in the properties dialog box. See Query Properties Calculated Key Figure Properties Restricted Key Figure Properties, and Selection/Formula Properties.
·        Formula Variables
Formula variables represent numerical values and can be used in formulas. See Defining Formulas.
In addition, numerical values are used for selecting exceptions and conditions and you can also use formula variables here. See Defining Exceptions and Defining Conditions
You can use a formula variable for the interest rate in order to process the current interest rate, after you have executed the query or Web application.

Hi
Master data is data that remains unchanged over a long period of time. Master data contains information that is always needed in the same way. Characteristics can bear master data in BW. With master data you are dealing with attributes, texts or hierarchies.
If characteristics have attributes, texts, or hierarchies at their disposal then we speak of master data-bearing characteristics.
Few types of Master Data
1) The master data of a cost center contains the name, the person responsible, the relevant hierarchy area, and so on.
2) The master data of a supplier contains the name, address, and bank details.
3) The master data of a user in the SAP system contains his/her access authorizations to the system, the standard printer, start transaction, and so on.
Use
When you create a characteristic InfoObject, it is possible to assign attributes, texts, hierarchies, or a combination of this master data to the characteristic. If a characteristic bears master data, you can edit it in BW in master data maintenance.
Master data for a characteristic is uploaded into BW using an InfoSource with direct updating.
You can also update characteristics with master data flexibly. In this case the InfoObject becomes the data target or InfoProvider. However, you must explicitly declare the InfoObject in the InfoObject maintenance to be the InfoProvider.
See also InfoSources with Flexible Updating.

Upgraded to Lion - where are the Library & Application Support folders ?

Where are the Library & Application Support folders that were available in Leopard 10.5.8 ?

They're in the same location as before, but you need to use a method such as choosing Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and providing ~/Library/Application Support/ as the path.

Which are the document types supported by Portal's Search

I'd like to know which are the document types supported by Oracle Ultrasearch / Oracle Portal that looks for the information inside the document.
Thank you very much,
Regards

The document types supported are the same as those supported by Oracle Text.
It depends on the database version as to what document types are supported. Therefore if you check your database information, Text Reference, there is a Supported Document Formats section which should give you the information you need.

Having problems downloading the latest Windows support software by Apple

Hello, I am trying to install Windos 7 in my imac, via bootcamp, but every time I try to download the latest Windows support software for my imac, using bootcamp assitant, in the beggining of my download a message appears that I can not download this software because it is not available in the Software Actualizations Server. I have seen a lot of videos as to how install windows in my imac, followed every step, but I keep on having this same problem that does not let me finish, and in the videos they do not say anything about this issue. I have had this problem since yesterday. If anyone can help me, thank you.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
I do not recommend to download the Windows support software from Boot Camp Assistant, as it often fails.
Instead, most Macs can download the Windows support software from the Apple website. Go to this website, and choose your Mac model and the Windows version you wish to install (under "Boot Camp requirements by Mac model"). Finally, download the correct Windows support software

Is it just me, or are the Apple Discussion servers having trouble today?

I've been strugling with Safari problems all day, and coming here looking for solutions, I'm constantly getting "We're sorry, Apple Discussions is temporarily unavailable", the entire discussion section seems to be offline as much as it's available today, and the darn thing has crashed several different browsers on different operating systems....
Is there some massive spike in usage? (because Steve's back? - glad to hear he is! because Safari is driving people crazy? or is it really just me?).
Hope this message goes through before it freeze up again...

We are aware and we are working on getting a stable solution in place.
I wish you folks well & understand that a stable solution takes time, but just for the record as of now (midday U.S. CDT) the response time is still extremely variable, from eye-blink fast to well over a minute, & has been like this for the last several days & nights. I'm an insomniac (or as I like to describe it, "unstuck in time") & as likely to check Discussions at 4 AM as 4 PM.
Perhaps you folks can (carefully, humbly) talk to marketing & get a bigger labor & hardware budget well in advance of each major product release, on the grounds that when Discussions gets flaky, product image suffers? Perhaps work up a dramatic presentation using two actors, one dressed in a suit & another more casually ....

Can a site use cookie info from separate Firefox windows, or just between tabs in the same window?

Hi!
I apologize for how crazy my question sounds,, (& for everything that follows), but I'm at a loss as to the correct wording...I hope my explanation will clarify things, at least enough so that someone understands what I'm trying to say! Wish me luck!
I'm using Firefox 37.0.1 on Windows 8.1 & everything is up to date. The most important details for this problem will be my settings & addons for Firefox, so here goes:
I allow all cookies, but it's set to clear them when Firefox closes.
I do NOT save any history or passwords & I also have "Click & Clean" enabled, & I use it frequently, even though I don't save any history or anything else, just to add to my security/privacy, (guess I didn't use it often enough, huh?)
I have the box checked for "Do Not Track", (but I just learned the hard way that even so-called "nice" companies don't honor this request)
I have "Ghostery" as well as "Google Analytics Opt-out" enabled, (even though I don't use Google for my search engine, nor do I go to a Google site unless it's absolutely necessary, (I read about Google's penchant for following users everywhere in order to get their preferences, so I avoid them if at all possible).
In other words, I thought I was protected from tracking-related problems, but I need to know if these precautions are effective when using Firefox & having several tabs open...then opening another tab/window...are cookies & any other info "readable", (I don't know what word should be used here), from tab to tab in the same window, (which just happened to me), & is the cookie info readable from window to window? In other words, do I have to completely close out Firefox, delete cookies, then open a brand new window so that any session cookie info has been deleted to protect my browsing info from being accessed?
I know, I'm STILL not making much sense...here's what happened, (I won't divulge the site that did the 'cookie abuse', though.
I had several tabs open, as I usually do, because I was gathering info for research on a report I was working on. Suddenly, I remembered I had to order my hubby's birthday gift, so I opened another tab, (in the same window), to my favorite site & started searching for the items I wanted. I found what I was looking for & was getting ready to check out when I noticed something very odd...there were several "suggestions" listed for items I "might be interested in, based on my browsing", but the funny thing was, I didn't search for anything related to these suggested items! Instead, they were related to items in the other tabs I had open. Scary, underhanded stuff, if you ask me! I always knew not to have banking/financial sites open while surfing, but the tabs I had open were from sites where I was getting research info for my report, so no red flags went up when I went to the site to place my order.
So I guess the question I need answered is...is cookie info accessible only between tabs in the same browser window OR is it even accessible from window to window? Did I make sense yet? I sure hope so, because this incident has me absolutely flapping around like a fish that's just been pulled out of the water & is just left on the deck! This obvious assault on my privacy has hit me like a punch in the stomach, because I thought this site was one I could trust...especially since I had "Do Not Track", "Google Analytics Opt-out" & "Ghostery" enabled!
I just don't know how to deal with this, but obviously, I need to know the rules so this NEVER happens again. Luckily, there wasn't any finance-related breach, but my sense of trust has taken a BIG blow.
If this made sense to anyone, please advise me on the rules of 'cookie abuse' so I don't EVER let this happen again!
Also, is cookie info able to be shared between browsers, e.g. use Firefox for more personal/sensitive browsing & Opera for research activity?
Any & all advice is desperately needed & gratefully accepted! I sincerely hope this doesn't happen to anyone else because it really takes the wind out of your trust bubble. I've never been as surprised & disappointed at a company as I am about this. So sad.
Oh well, learn something new every day...too bad I learned not to trust. :(
Thanks in advance for your help.
Nuts4Mutts :(
P.S. If you need anything clarified, just ask

Cookies are stored in a cookie jar and thus are shared among all open tabs and windows.
Only all Private Browsing mode tabs/windows use a separate cookie jar that is used for all PB mode tabs.
Note that session restore stores cookies of open tabs in the sessionstore.js file as part of stored session data.

Where are the admins and Support has been getting weaker

Ok first of aqll. Where are the admins? I have seen none of their posts anywhere. They dont' seem to care or moderate the board.
2nd of all, in some support sections, some people say smart alac things where they don't want to help their users. I got somone from one of my posts saying, "Don't try to attempt to do something when you know nothing about it"

<img
They may or may not send an email to the offender,</div>
This is an interesting thread and I thank you and the other more experienced folk for your participation. There is a few similar recent explanatory type threads which are also useful.
However, the above partial reply does concern me a bit. And yes, I do realise that you personally are in no way responsible for or accountable for the actions or non-actions of the mods or for Apple policy. And that you are just helpfully recounting what appears to be the Discussions policy and practices.
Several months ago a reply I made to a thread was deleted, presumably by a mod but what instigated that action I do not know or do I know who reported my apparent posting crime.
To quote from : Apple Discussions Use Agreement
"5. Breach of the Agreement
If you fail to abide by these terms Apple will send an e-mail that informs you that your Submission has been deleted or edited."
I did not receive any email from Apple explaning the reason for my submission deletion.
As shown by this thread a similar experience has occurred to other users
<http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=792552&tstart=0>
Now, of course I am in no position to require the mods to account for their actions and I accept that these Discussions are wholly owned and operated by Apple, but Apple does [or I hope so] realise the value of the discussions and the goodwill they create and enhance.
But what is the point of having a set of rules, availble for all to see, which are in effect a two-way agreement, if Apple chooses to ignore them while expecting users to abide by them. I would have liked the opportunity to explain the import of my submission. But having it peremptorily deleted without explanation is just not fair.
But then, I expect someone will take offence at this post and it will be deleted.
