Is there a freedom to talk on this forum ?

I have a topic, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1617981&tstart=0&start=30
in the hot discussion now and Apple moderators just remove most important posts and also banned me from posting any responses on the topic with reasons of,
*Apple removed your post on Apple Discussions, titled "Re: Improve iPhone 3G Battery Life And Overall Stability Significantly," because it contained the following:*
** Speculation or Rumors*
** Discussion of Apple Policies, Procedures or Decisions*
** Off-topic or non-technical posts*
** Non-constructive rants or complaints*
But all facts are important for the people to know ....
Dear moderators, what is going on ?

Your post does appear to have some helpful information. That may be why the moderators did not remove the whole thread altogether. I find it interesting that you are complaining about Apple removing posts when the content that they haven't removed is still in violation of the terms of service:
Everybody is facing crappy battery performance on their new iPhone 3G.
The big question is, Did Apple already know that the iPhone 3G are shipped with BETA firmware ?
Both of these items are prohibited, and, yet, they weren't removed. You are a new poster and they seem to be bending their own rules for you by only removing the worst offenses.
Just remember that this is a tech-support forum. It isn't a place for any sort of speculation, ranting, or rumor-mongering. Putting statements like those above in a posting really isn't helpful or appreciated. They are liable to start rant sessions, flame wars, or just get otherwise useful information deleted.
And, to answer your question, all products, software and hardware, are released with known bugs. Everyone does it. It is impossible to avoid bugs. If you find problems, you should report them using official Apple feedback channels or via bug reports, if you have an ADC account. Those reports are helpful and are appreciated because they help improve the product for everyone. Apple, like any company, tries to make 1) a profit, 2) make the best product they can, and 3) stay ahead of the competition.

  • Does anyone know if there is a plan to make this forum a better product?

    there are quite a few problems with the structure of this forum.
    maybe it is time for an update.
    1. doesn't appear to be any attrempt tp consolidate responses of various identical topics
    2. statistics are poor and incorrect (should always indicate lates response, should show latest response first - by default, should clearly indicate number of responses for each item, etc)
    3. many more items - but insufficient time to nanalyze and document
    this is not a criticism of the moderators who take the time to help others but it does newed to have a method of getting Apple's attention when there is no solution/approach to a serious product defficiency.
    advisng users to use the Apple support link is like getting close to a black hole. 

    I am sure they are always looking for ways to improve. The current "Apple Support Communities" replaced the former "Apple Discussions" about a year ago, there were a number of changes that came with it, some good, some not so good, IMHO. About a week or two ago they made some other changes, the most visual was getting an email when a post is marked as solving the question or being helpful. Like any change, some people liked it, some didn't. But I am certain they are looking to make this forum a better product.

  • Is there a document which collects all this forum's posting?

    Hi, again. Is there a document or a file which collects all this forum's posting?
    It seems that it's just a waste of time to wait loading each article in the forum.
    Thanks.

    Thanks. My original reason to ask above question is whether someone save a text file which contains all posting messages because I'd like to scroll one big text file to read questoins and answers in one place.
    Would you give me more advice, if you know such a link or some site? Anyway, it's helpful to use google to save time. Thanks for saving my money(?). :)

  • I know that there are some clevers guys over this forum..I have a little

    question that doesn't refer to Java, But I was quite satisfied with your help that I will try my luck again.
    I am writing an application refering to AI field. I need to find a list of last names, computer products and companies as long as I can find for a initial data base to use it.
    Where can I find it?
    Thank you ,

    If you just want a bunch of data for your app to run over, try census data. I know the U.S. govt has put some of its data on the web. If you want the data in a different language, hopefully a government of a country whose native language you want to write for, has done the same. It seems likely.

  • HOWTO: get your questions answered on this forum

    As this is primarily about formatting, I hope I've got everything right :)
    Giving your posting a clear layout is helpful to the other participants in this forum, because it makes your contribution easier to read. Here are some tips for increasing the clarity of your question or reply.
    [list=1]
    [*]1. PLEASE DO NOT USE ALL CAPITALS. It makes your posting harder to read. Mixed case (at least in English) has the greatest variety of letter shapes and therefore conveys the most information to a reader's eyes. Also, netiquette considers all capitals to be the equivalent of SHOUTING and is thus rude.
    [*]2. Pls dont us txt abbrvtns n ur pstng. This also makes things difficult to read. Nobody will think you are less of a "d00d" if you use you instead of u.
    [*]3. Please make use of the UBB formatting options. These are like HTML mark-up, but they use square brackets - []- instead of pointy ones - <>. More information can be found at the Forum FAQ http://forums.oracle.com/forums/faq.jsp?uid=1027669490365 (unfortunately, the URL for the actual formatting page is not visible to us, so I can't post it here).
    [*]4. Please include all necessary information. This usually means, at minimum, the database version you are using. If you are asking about a piece of your own code that does not work, post the error code and/or message, or at least describe its behaviour. Saying "it doesn't work" doesn't give us much to go on. Posting the code is a good idea, unless it's humongous: use the UBB [ code ][ /code ] format.
    [*]5. Please read the documentation before posting. Some people are offended by replies that say RTFM or STFW. You won't invite such replies if you have made reasonable efforts to find out the answer yourself before posting here. This means at least reading the Oracle manual. You should also try using the Forum search engine, although we know it is somewhat unreliable: OTN have promised to make it better soon. There is a lot of information on the web so learning to use a search engine like Google (http://www.google.com) will help you as well.
    [*]6. Start a new thread for a fresh topic. Appending a new subject to an existing thread is not a good idea. If it's a long running thread only a handful of people might visit it - as everyone else has got bored - which decreases your chances of getting a reply. Also, it antagonises the people who are following that thread.
    [list]
    There's further discussion of formatting postings here: The specified item was not found..
    In summary, if you cannot be bothered to spend the time making you post easy and interesting to read why should other people spend their time answering it? There are no Oracle moderators on this forum, we are all volunteers.
    Cheers, APC
    Caveat emptor
    This advice is posted on behalf of the Rogue Moderators. It is posted with the best of intentions but is not guaranteed in any way, shape or form

    7. Don't post the same question several times.If someone can answer your question, he/she will do, asking twice or more often
    doesn't give better answers.
    8. Do not use terms like "URGENT" or "pl.answer asap".
    Noone will answer faster, but many will be bored.
    9. Do not login with a name like NULL NULL.
    People answering your question would like to talk to a person,
    not to a brain damage.

  • Disappearing option of Search this forum

    There used to be a Search this forum button in the Illustrator forum, but now it has disappeared altogether.
    While it was still there, some of us had hopes of its beginning to work again, some day, maybe.
    But now it is gone.
    What about other forums?
    Any hopes left?

    Can't imagine any reason they would change
    Great news.
    Some of us "old timers" recall several times, when the older posts got dumped.
    There was the aborted forum software issue - forget the dates, where much was lost. Some was saved to an archive, but the thread titles were all gone, so one only had page after page of "Post 15059686776," followed by "Post 15059686777," and so on. After a false start, the old forum was reinstated, but with the loss of the older posts.
    Then, there was Jive.
    Seems that I am missing a big dump of older posts, and someone will refresh my memory.
    Anyway, a lot of us rely on those older posts, even when a product's version number has moved up a few notches.
    Thanks,
    Hunt

  • DM uninstall - searched this forum, tried everything!

    I have searched everything on this forum and everything I could find on the internet.  I am running Vista and I cannot get rid of the stupid DM software. Everytime I log into one of my user accounts (not all) I get an installer notification "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD ROM or other removable disk that is not available.  Insert the Blackberry Desktop Software 4.6 disk and click OK."  The program does show up in my Windows Installer (DM 4.6) again, only for this one account, but when I try to unistall it, I get the same garbage message.
    There are very specific instructions on this forum and many other places, and I think I have tried them all.  I have searched the registry and found no evidence of any remnants to this program.  I have tried to reinstall the software and unistall again.  I have tried every registry cleaner I can find.  Still, I get the same message.
    I really don't want to reinstall my OS for this stupid application, since other than the annoyance, I see no evidence of another problem.  I guess I could grin and bare it, but I don't think I should have to. Does anyone have any other ideas?

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    If you have the CD go to add/remove programs in Vista and try to repair the installation.
    Be sure to have the full Admin rights. Then we can remove it cleanly.
    Did you install Media manager as well? There are some Roxio KB's as well.
    I think you want to read KB1720 first the Windows Installer problem.
    Otherwise I think the installation was not done with the correct UAC admin rights.
    Let us know how it goes!

  • How much stuff can you load into a project before it starts crashing? And is there a way to tell if this is the problem that's causing the crashing?

    I'd like to know if there's a way to tell if I've loaded too much media into my premiere pro project?
    I'm getting some interesting crashing issues and suspect it's because I've loaded a bunch of stuff into the project. I guess I could go through and start deleting stuff, but I'd like to know if there's a way to tell if that's the problem first.
    I'm running cs6 latest 6.0.5. Macbook Pro i7, 16gb ram, 2tb external Gdrive storing media. I have cuda enabled.
    Thanks a lot for any help!

    I copied text & paisted it and then draged the 3 photos from the file...then clicked on the photo then clicked the inline boxon tool bar nexed to floating one and that is how I did it
    I do not know what you mean "cut & paist"  how do I get the photo in from my picter folder if I do not drag it to the page in Pages? 
    I went to my photo folder and copied a photo and paisted the photo on the top left part of the page and it went there but there was no text to the right of photo...I could crop the photo to what ever size but no text to the right of photo...
    This is just too big of a mess of a program as it should be easier then this,,,I hav e 300 photos in this project and would have to re-paist them all...that is nuts...
    I see the button to the right of inline and floating that has 6 [lace to have the photo but the text does not float around the photo...
    If this is what your talking about this very little freedom in my page layout as I need it to let me place it where I need it to be and the wrap the text...

    I found several charges on my bank account from Apple on App that is completely free. After calling the number showing on my bank statement there an automated answering that tells you to go to apple website!!! There is nobody to talk to!! Complete rip OFF
    And now because I want to communicate with apple support I have to go through the hectic website and community support, this is ridiculous.
    I have 5 iPhones in my account and this makes me reconsider upgrading to iPhones again.
    Why Apple put a phone number in the bank transaction, if there is nobody to talk to!!!!!!
    I hope someone from Apple support can answer my question.

    Go to getsupport.apple.com.  Or, call 1-800-MYAPPLE.
    Just because an app is free to download doesn't mean that there aren't in-app purchases available.
    Go to iTunes on your computer, log into the iTunes Store with your Apple ID & password, and check your purchase history.  Be advised that all iTunes & App Store purchases are final.

  • My Lacie external hard drive will not back up on Time Machine. Says there's not enough space. This has happened with every single external I've purchased. Thought TM was supposed to delete old backups??

    My Lacie External backed up on Time Machine after the first back up but now says there's not enough room. I thought TM deleted old back ups to save new versions. What am I doing wrong. This happens to me constantly. Every single external hard drive I've purchased for the MacBook Pro (5 of them) has not worked either initially or at the second back up. It either isn't formatted properly so I have to go to Genius bar to help me set up for the first back up, or after the first back up, it says there's not enough space and I have to go back to Genius Bar. Is there a way I can fix this on my own?

    I just purchased 2 external hardrives. a LaCie Minimus and a G Drive. Each 1 TB. The guy at Apple told me that would provide 2 good TM backups for me. My internal HD has 750 GB capacity, of which I'm using 700 GB. Perhaps the ratio is not great enough. I do wish they would have told me this before I purchased the two Bummmmer! I even had them format and get the first back-ups going because of issues I've had in the past. I also just bought a 750 GB for photos.
    So, I won't be able to buy another bigger external since I've just purchased 3. Ugh. Well, I'll just exclude some files and divide things up. Eventually, I just want my 20,000 iphotos on one of the 1TB externals, and a TM back-up on another so that iphoto will function once more. It really hates how many photos I have and is brutally punishing me for it.I seriously need to do some housecleaning!
    Thanks for the advice. Just moved from US to Australia last week and was hoping to upload a few photos and the domino effect has lead me to this. Just went to Genius Bar in Perth today and they told me how to reformat drive to transfer iphoto library over, but I got stuck at trying to back-up my TM.

  • I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?

    I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version (CC2014) and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file>open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?
    I have tried 'Open with' and the version of the program now installed on my computer isn't even suggested as an option and when I browse for it, the file wont open with it anyway

    On Windows (don't know about Mac), the latest version will always take over the file association, and become the default for indd files. It's impossible to change it.
    But there is a plugin for ID that makes this possible. Never tried it myself.

  • I put songs onto my IPhone 4, and they show up under the "On This Phone" section in itunes, but when I go to play the songs on my phone, they aren't there. How can I fix this?

    I put songs onto my IPhone 4, and they show up under the "On This Phone" section in itunes, but when I go to play the songs on my phone, they aren't there. How can I fix this?

    When you look at your iPhone, are you looking in the Music app or in the iTunes app?  Be sure you are looking in the Music app, and look in the Songs category.  If your songs are not here, you may want to try syncing your information again through iTunes.  To do this, uncheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync in the bottom right corner of iTunes, and then recheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync again. 
    I hope this helps!

    I have the same problem.  Yahoo Sportacular aborts every time I try to open it.  It attempts to load and then the device goes right back to the home screen.  The problem started April 26 after I switched leagues from NHL to NBA. Closing all apps and Restarting doesn't solve solve the problem.
    All other apps on the iPad work fine.  IPad2, OS6.
    Any other suggestions?  I suppose I could delete the app from the iPad and try re-installing it
