Is the BB salesperson lying to me or simply ignora

Ok. A few days ago, I am shopping at the local BB for a new flash player for my wife. She has a Napster-to-Go membership and likes the idea of renting. I ask the salesperson if the GB Zen Nano Plus is subscription compatible. He assures me that it is... saying "anything with the plays for sure" logo will work with the services. I press him explaining the distinction between downloading and renting... for instance, the distinction between Napster and Napster-to-Go. He says it doesn't matter, and points to their little spec card which claims the ZNP *is* compatible with NTG. He even pulls out a fancy, official-looking plays-for-sure booklet which presents the features and some specs of a dozen or so players. The pages in the booklet for the ZNP and the ZN both have the PFS logo with both download and subscription ticked.
Needless to say, this contradicts everything I have read in this and other forums and on other sites including Napster and Yahoo's compatible player pages... as well as the PFS site where you can search subscription compatible players. I explain this point to the salesperson. His theory is that the pages I have seen just haven't been updated recently, and that his info is correct. I asked him if he's personally used or tested the ZNP/ZN with a sub service. "Nope."
I was hoping to get a concrete answer on this. All the info he has seemed official enough, but I don't necessarily trust it since it *does* contradict everything else I have read. I think my wife would really like the ZNP, but her main criteria is the sub service compatibility.
To make a long story short (too late) is the ZNP sub service compatible or not? If not, why the heck would BB claim it is?
Thanks

It's not.

Personally I've never been to Best Buy (I don't li've in the USA) but this is certainly not the first time one of their salesmen has been wrong.
There are, as you mention, two forms of PlayForSure. Standard licensed WMA which CAN be used on the Zen Nano, and subscription downloads which can't.

    "Ignoring it" does not eliminate it.  How does one get rid of it or at least make it inactive.

    Not possible.

    I was able to connect the first time, but after that my computer simply rejects the Iphone and nothing happens. The Iphone doesn't spin or try to reboot even! .
    WHAT to do? I got it today.

    When you say it ignores your iPhone, do you mean it does not appear in iTunes if you launch iTunes? Or it does not appear in Finder? Or does not appear in iPhoto? Or you get an error message?

  • Is the task-flow input parameter class value being ignored by the framework

    hi
    Although I don't remember where, I think I read or heard about the task-flow input parameter class value that it is "being ignored by the framework".
    One example of this could be what is currently in the UI Shell sample application available
    at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/uishellapp-134633.zip
    It has in its task-flow in "flows\second.xml" an input parameter configured like
      <task-flow-definition id="second">
        <!-- ... -->
        <input-parameter-definition id="__3">
          <name id="__2">tabContext</name>
          <value>#{pageFlowScope.tabContext}</value>
          <class>oracle.ui.pattern.dynamicShell.TabContex</class>
          <required/>
        </input-parameter-definition>
        <!-- ... -->
      </task-flow-definition>Notice the missing "t" at the end of the class name "oracle.ui.pattern.dynamicShell.TabContex".
    Still this task-flow configuration does allow to use expressions like "#{pageFlowScope.tabContext.selectedTabIndex}", which suggests that the class value is indeed "being ignored by the framework".
    (see also forum thread "does the UI Shell sample break encapsulation in its task-flows"
    at does the UI Shell sample break encapsulation in its task-flows )
    All relevant references (bug numbers, documentation, blogs) explaining about this task-flow input parameter class value are welcome.
    If no such references exist, maybe someone from Oracle can give some feedback.
    many thanks
    Jan Vervecken

    That appears to be a bug for which I am seeking confirmation.There is an enhancement request (i.e., 9377487) submitted over a year ago, that describes this behavior. It is listed as an ER as our documentation (e.g., Fusion Developer's Guide for Oracle ADF, online help ) does not specifically state that Java class for the input parameter definition is checked for type. Further anything using EL is untyped. So the expectation that types are enforced is somewhat puzzling to the development team.
    However, there is an acknowledgment within circles of the development organization, that some might come to have this expectation. One trigger might be the definition itself. The other is the existence of a design time audit on the definition. For example, if the class is specified inaccurately (e.g., typo), there is an audit warning to report "not found."
    Under consideration are a number of framework proposals to check for type without breaking backward compatibility or adding overhead to the production environment.
    In the interim, the following recommendations are given.
    Unless this breaks or can break your app in some way, no need exist for change. Nevertheless, if this is a real concern, write a test or consider a java assertion. By default, assertions are disabled at runtime. There is no need to override that default.I have been able to find enhancement request 9377487, "TASK FLOW PARAMETER VALUES NOT VALIDATED ACCORDING TO CLASS", on My Oracle Support. It currently has "Status 15 - To Internal (Oracle) Review" and "Updated 16-Dec-2010".
    In the context of service request 3-4185839067 recently bug 12838099, "THE TASK-FLOW INPUT PARAMETER CLASS VALUE BEING IGNORED BY THE FRAMEWORK", has been filed and it currently still has "Status 16 - Bug Screening/Triage".
    - about "... the expectation that types are enforced is somewhat puzzling to the development team ..."
    Hmm, strange ... so what are people supposed to expect when there is an option to configure a class name for a task-flow input parameter?

  • Sound has no valid device sound path although exporting device sounds was requested in the export settings. This sound will be ignored.

    I have bopped around the forums here for a while now, and while other people seem to have had the same problem as I am having in the past, I come to find that all of the solutions that have worked for others, do not in fact, work for me.
    I am running Flash Professional CS6 On an Acer Aspire. 4 Gigs of RAM, 500 Gigs of HD.
    The exact problem that I am having is as follows:
    I record a sound bit in Audacity, Export the sound as and MP3 File on my main computer Hard Drive.
    go to File>Import>Import to Library, I locate the file that I had created, then select it to be imported to my Library.
    I then create a new layer in my timeline, Label it as sound, place a new key frame into the timeline layer at the place in the animation that i hope the sound would start, set the audio sync to stream instead of event, then press CTRL+ENTER, which initiates the Test Movie function.
    At this time, the "Output" box Pops up and it states,
    "Sound has no valid device sound path although exporting device sounds was requested in the export settings. This sound will be ignored."
    No sound is played and i cannot, for the life of me, figure out why. I have tried all the troubleshoots that i can find online. I checked the publishing settings and nothing is being Overridden, I've attempted to untick the "export device sounds" option, but it is grayed out and cannot be toggled. I have attempted switching the MP3 format sound clip to a WAV format sound clip. I have attempted to re-recording the sound clip and re-importing the clip to the library. I have checked my computers speakers and everything is in working order and i have even checked to see if other projects sound works.
    I pulled up a previous project that i had finished a while back that had loads of sound imported the exact same way and it all works exactly as i expect it too. The sound plays, there is not "Output" box claiming an issue. It seems that the issue, whatever it might be, is stuck to this project itself.
    I have even started a new project, imported and placed both the MP3 and the WAV files into the sound layer created, CTRL+ENTER, and it works just fine without problem.
    If there is anything that i might have accidentally messed up in this projected that you know about, like settings that may have been changed that would cause such an annoying and seemingly unfixable issue, please let me know. I really do not want to loose this project over such an utterly stupid error.

    I've moved your question to the Flash Pro CC forum.

  • I am not getting any sound input on my microphone. There is no microphone input on my new macbook pro, so I am using my old one. Is this a problem with the new operating system? Did they simply remove any microphone software?

    Which operating system are you using?
    Some filters like Filter>Sketch>Stamp need to have two different colors for the Foreground and Background set in the toolbox.
    Press the D key to set the default toolbox color swatches to Black and White and then try the Stamp filter.
    If your using mac os x 10.9 or 10.10, then some of the filters under Filter>Sketch will crash pse 11
    They are Filter>Sketch>Comic, Graphic Novel and Pen and Ink
    Otherwise resetting the pse11 editor preferences might resolve the crashing.
    Go to Photoshop Elements Editor(Edit)>General, click on Reset Preferences on Next Launch and then restart the pse 11 editor

  • Why are the phone sales lying to customers telling them they will get a new phone under the warranty

    This is my story from Store 1513 2441 North Maize Rd Wichita, KS 67205 Why are the cell phone sales people lying to customers by telling them they will get a brand new replacement phone under the purchased warranty when they really have to wait to be sent a refurbished phone? This seams like a scam! I have been told we would get a brand new phone on 3 separate contract renewals in the last 6 months if there ever was a problem, and now that I have a problem they say no you have to wait for a refurb in the mail? Guess you CEO will be getting an earful!

    Hello WilliamAnderson,
    Our Geek Squad protection I can assure you is not a scam but I understand why you would feel that way considering the circumstances. Our Rapid Exchange process, with certain mobile devices covered under Geek Squad Protection, “utilizes refurbished products of like kind and quality and of comparable performance”.  I apologize for the confusion this has caused you after you invested in that protection plan.
    I realize this is not what you were led to believe in the store and I would like to reach out to the Wichita, KS store (1513) to pass along this feedback. I will be sending you a private message to get some more contact information from you; to check your private messages, click on the envelope in the upper right-hand corner while you are logged into the forums.

  • HT2688 I have an Apple Id for my Itunes, and my children have a different Apple ID for theirs.  To home share, do I need to change one of the IDs for ITunes, or can we simply have a common Apple ID just for home sharing?  Thanks.

    I think the title says it all.  We have different Apple IDs on two computers for two users.  To home share, is it necessary to change one of the Apple IDs to match the other, or can this be done just for purposes of home sharing -- i.e., select one Apple ID as the common ID just for purposes of home sharing.
    Thanks,

  • I have a graph with the x axis for volume and the y axis for mass, I need the data to correlate with the volume and mass, I can not simply label the axis this way, how can i do this?

    This is extremely urgent and please help!!!

    Do you mean something like this?
    If so, go to the Chart inspector. On the Axis tab of the Chart Inspector you can set the format for each axis. Choose "custom" then type in the units at the end of the format that is there.  You can't get fancy, like having superscripts or anything.
    Alternatively you can show the axis titles, also in the chart inspector:

    Hello skywalker eyedoc,
    If you chose to "forget" a device in the bluetooth settings, you'll simply need to put that device back into pairing mode (or "discovery" mode) for the iPod touch to find it once more. You may need to refer to the bluetooth speaker's documentation or manufacturer for information on how to do so.

  • I want to open my bookmarks on the toolbar to a new tab. But when I click it, it replaces the webside I am browsing not to a new tab. How would I achieve this? Besides, I don't want to drag the icons. What I want is simply click it. Thank you.

    I am a new user of Firefox. I don't what is my edition but I just download it to my desktop yesterday.

    A middle-click on the bookmark should open it in a new tab. Alternatively there are quite a few tab related add-ons that give you the option to open bookmarks in a new tab. Some examples are:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13784/ Open Bookmarks in New Tab]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/ Tab Mix Plus]

    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13288/ Super Tab Mode]
    The last 4 also add many other features relating to tabbed browsing.
