  • I lost my contacts. First it would not open Facebook or my iMessage . So I turn off phone and turned it back on.  Then all contacts were gone. That is not cool. I don't want to sync . I also read on this forum iPhone is not a storage device .???

    I Lost my contacts . I don't sync. Why should I have too? Very frustrating. I read on this forum iPhone was designed to work with computer. Then I guess this phone is not for me. 
    My fb and my iMessage would not open. So I turned of my phone and turned it back on. Bang ! They were gone. Funny how I never have problems with my itouch.

  • Is there a way to search this forum???

    i want to search for specific topics but don't see any search button on this page... is there a way to do it without scrolling through every page looking for a particular topic?

    This forum definitely needs a search feature!
    And, my God, there are so many new threads being posted that all the "old" ones (i.e. 2 minutes old) get shoved behind the back pages!

  • Are the [expletive deleted] at Adobe doing anything to improve this forum?

    We were informed some time back by an Adobe representative that frequents this forum that he would look into why we keep having to login each time we revist the forum.
    Although we have this 'tick to remember your details' box on the login page it never works. Now I am finding when I login I then get logged out for no reason but still says I'm logged in.
    I keep getting an 'internal server error' jump up on my screen.
    This forum software is complete [expletive deleted] Either supply your customers with something reliable and user-friendly that actually works of get rid of it completely - bunch of [expletives deleted].

    JIve absolutely DOES NOT have access you your AdobeID account. That's why the SSI process is complicated - you sign in on the secure adobe.com server, then your verified session is passed over to Jive's network using a chain of session cookies. All Jive can see is your userID, name and email address (the stuff shown in your forums profile) - not your password, bank info, etc.

    Adobe made a policy decision that all services will be accessed via AdobeIDs - that goes for websites, SaaS subscriptions and product activations. It's done for perfectly valid reasons - for example if a customer asks a question in the forum about a purchase, Customer Care can immediately pull up the order history as they can search for the forum user's email address (which is unique to an AdobeID, so the forum user must be the same person). Since we switched to AdobeID logins, hundreds of people have been helped this way with activations, lost serials, etc. so it's not going to change back.

  • To anyone in product management and tech support monitoring this forum

    Since it would appear this is the "official" conduit to tech support now at SAS I am posting this here.
    You've lost me as an Xcelsius 2008 user and it only took 24 hours to do so. 
    As I've posted to a few places on this board, the upgrade process had errors for me, and 2008 suddenly became unable to load per my post to this forum OVER 36 HOURS ago which has received 0 responses from anyone within tech support or SAS.  New software I debated over spending my $ on.  Decided to, and within a few hours I could not use it.  And NO way to get anyone to assist in troubleshooting.
    I'm not a newbie to development, with over 20 years developing hardware and software solutions for very demanding telephone operator customers  around the world.   I understand bugs, the need for patches, etc. although I do seriously question how stable this release really is.  I mean if upgrades to existing 4.5 pro loads have issues dealing with Microsoft libraries, I do have to question how thoroughly tested this release really is.
    What has completely destroyed my faith in Business Objects / SAS is the lack of any type of technical support per your new policies which just went into effect.  I paid for the upgrade, downloaded the code, installed it (albeit with issues), lost the ability to run the code almost immediately, and went into a dark hole with no way out! 
    The telesales rep (who I'll let remain nameless less he get into trouble for helping) has been very professional and helpful.  I wish I could say the same for others - but there are no others - just this forum to try and get help on. (and thanks to those that did respond - no offense intended, but where are the "official" SAS reps on this board and how can issues like mine where I am completely dead on a new install be highlighted and escalated for resolution?)
    This is a business app, run by business users trying to do their jobs.  I cannot fathom how SAS can and will be successful with Xcelcius if there is not some ability to receive priority (and yes, FREE) support - especially for install issues on code just purchased!  Talk about creating severe buyer's remorse!  I understand customer / techical service is expensive.  I've built global call centers over my career for this purpose, and it's a fine line to walk between being able to provide a level of support expected by most customers, and also trying to not support the users for free who are perfectly content to spend hours each day on the phone with your highly professional reps basically having their work done for them.
    But to not be able to get a response on a brand new install that has gone terribly wrong - and receive that response in a timely manner is just flat out wrong.  It's a $1k software package - not freeware!
    So for now, I'll drop back to 4.5 (although I must admit part of me is wondering how much of our dashboard work can now be done without your software.  Bad taste in my mouth at this point) and chalk up the hours lost this week to a really bad experience with your company.
    Comment if you will, but please take this comment to heart.  I had the guts to write it.  Wonder how many others are just not saying anything at all?

    Fully Agree!
    Waiste of time and money. I am sooooo, pissed off. Zero technical support, lack of confidence in this product. I used the 4,5 version- much better and reliable vs. this Engage2008 piece of software.....
    I would NOT recommend buying it on all the other forums I am active on.
    TOMORROW is the deadline for SP1 - I hope they don't have the guts of asking money for it.

  • I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.

     I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.  
    I am currently using Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows 7.  After several years of use, I am self taught and adequately proficient for an amateur.  What I didn't realize (until I started researching my upcoming migration on the Internet) is that I actually use PE8 for two functions: digital asset management and digital editing. 
    Regarding Digital Asset Management: My research leads me to understand that PE on MAC does not provide the same level of organizational capability that I am used to having on Windows, instead providing Adobe's Bridge which does not look very robust.  Furthermore, iPhoto, which come on MAC will not support the hierarchical keyword tagging that I require to organize my library of photos. The two SW applications which I am thinking of switching to are either Aperture or Adobe's Lightroom.  Frankly, I'm thinking that it would be smoother to stay within the Apple product line. 
    So the remaining question is whether Aperture will support my digital editing needs. The tweaks that I do to my photos are not very complex (no, I do not want to put people's heads on other animal bodies).  But could someone who uses Aperture tell me whether It will allow me to do the following kinds of edits?:
    - If I have a photo where someone's face is too shadowed, can I lighten just that person's face, and leave the rest of the photo as-is?  
    - if I have a photo where the background is cluttered (eg, 2 people in front of the Parthenon which is undergoing renovation), can I remove just the construction cranes?  
    - Can it splice together several separate photos to give a panoramic?  
    If, once I get Aperture, I find that it cannot enable the kinds of editing that I do, I would probably get PE11 in the future. However, if people in this forum tell me that Aperture will definitely not  support the kinds of editing which I've described in the previous paragraph, I would prefer to get PE11 with my initial configuration (since someone will be helping me with my migration).  
    Thanks in advance for your consideration and help! 

    I am concerned, however,  about using a non-Apple Digital Asset Manager in OSX. I would really like to avoid integration problems. Is using PE11 to import and catalog my digital photos likely to cause conflicts?
    Thanks for any insight on this
    Amy,
    Not so much conflicts as maybe a little less seamless integration with Apple software and perhaps some third-party software providers in the Mac App Store where some programs build in direct access to iPhoto and Aperture libraries for getting images into those programs easily. Typically, there is a manual command to go to Finder (think Windows Explorer) to browse folders.
    One caution to mention however, is that the organization you set-up in PE Organizer is unlikely to transfer over to either iPhoto or Aperture if you decide to change at some point.
    The only real stumbling block that I see in your opening comment is that you want hierarchical keywording (Kirby or Léonie can go into the details on keywording limitations as I stay at one level). If you can work with the keywording schemes of either iPhoto or Aperture, then using PE for your external editor (either program supports setting an external editor) would probably be ideal since you know PE well. This is the idea with the Mac App Store version of PE (editor with no organizer).
    Note - I use Photoshop CS6 (full version) with Aperture and it works really well. The only downside is that Aperture has to make either a TIFF or PSD file to send to an external editor so that the original file is protected by not sending it to the pixel editor. While TIFF or PSD files protect the integrity of the image information without degrading it, they are typically much larger file sizes on disk than either RAW or JPEG files. Therefore, your library size (iPhoto or Aperture) will balloon quite a bit if you send a lot of files to external editors.
    One other possibility for an external editor would be a program called Pixelmator. It is pretty similar to early versions of Photoshop, but built for Mac. Other than the panoramics you want, it will do most pixel editing that PE can do. It is not an organizer, so it is built to go with either iPhoto or Aperture. It does have differences in how you complete certain procedures, so there is bit of a learning curve when you are used to doing it the Adobe way.

  • How can I use a username to log in to this forum.

    The size of the username box in this forum is too short to see my full email address and as a result I often have to try a few times because I cant see if I make a typo. This is rather annoying because you can see if you perhaps made the mistake in the password because all you see is a row of dots.
    Is there any way I can use a shortened username? I seem to remember I entered one originally but it has never worked

    Ted,
    There is a good, active forum for Forum Comments. Adobe-Admin (John), can help you with all sorts of issues with Log-in, and accessing the forums. I would post there with the issues and your needs, and wait a bit for John to get to the post. He's good, fairly quick, and works hard to help - but he IS overworked, so you may have to be patient.
    Good luck,

  • Use Secure HTTPS throughout this Forum and the Meteor Website

    This is not a "Bright Idea", this is a security flaw with the setup of this forum. When registering to use this forum you are asked for these personal sensitive pieces of information: - Password- Email Address- Mobile Number- CUSTOMER SERVICE PIN!- Age Confirmation This forum does not use secure HTTPS TLS anywhere, so when you register with this form, and when you login you are sending this information is clear plain text over the Web. This is extremely insecure especially considering (A) It's a known fact most typical users will use the same account password on multiple sites, so one should assume a user registering for this forum will use the same password that they use for the main MyMeteor account. (B) The Customer Service PIN is one of the pieces of information used when interacting with Meteor either by phone, chat, email, forum or post as a way to verify a persons credentials and valid identity.  So given (A) & (B) if a users password and/or PIN are intercepted on an insecure internet connection, the person gaining access to these credentials could use it to impersonate the customer when communicating with Meteor. The implications are obvious. When an attacker wants to gain access to customer details they will look for the weekest access link. This forum is one of the weekest access links and if comporimised or if user details are intercepted it gives the attacker all the information they need. This forum may be powered by the Lithium service, but it is Meteor's Technical team's responsibilty to setup and secure this forum adequetly. At the moment they have not done this. They are leaving customers at risk of identity theft and are failing in their obligations under Data Protection laws. This needs to be addressed immediatly. On a wider issue it is now considered good practice for public serving websites to use TLS throughout their website and not just for registration and login pages. Contrary to misconception using TLS throughout your site will not greatly reduce the speed or performance of the site if the sys admins have used correct modern server configurations, optimisations and TLS implementation. The major browsers are now blocking out non-secure elements on secure web pages and even Google is going to start using TLS as a signal for traffic ranking. So websites using TLS throughout their site will potentially get better search rankings on Google than those without. I would ask the Meteor Sys admins to at the very least seurce this forum with TLS and then role out TLS across their entire meteor.ie web properties and follow best practise. 

    I have found that there is an SSL certificate installed on the server to cover the forums.meteor.ie domain, however it is not being enforced. Whilst not a perfect solution, for those using the EFF HTTPS Everywhere browser extension, I have written a ruleset that will force the browser to load https://forums.meteor.ie. I have submitted this ruleset to the EFF but you can also add the ruleset yourself with this following these directions, using this code: <ruleset name="Meteor.ie Community Forum">
    <target host="forums.meteor.ie"/>
    <rule from="^http://(www\.)?forums\.meteor\.ie/" to="https://forums.meteor.ie/"/>
    </ruleset> Still waiting on an official response from Meteor.

  • "You do not have permission to post in this forum"

    I have another account that cannot do anything much at all, and I would like to get it fixed without a five day wait for a Genius Bar appointment, then a 1 hour bus trip each way with an "I can't help with that" in the middle.
    The account has been broken for over a year.  This is what happens:
    I can submit a question to the community.
    I can open any postings that show as matches.
    If there are no matches and I get thrown to the list of communities, then I can't view or post to any of them.  I see the product names and icons (iPad, for example, but the list of related communities on the right is missing for all products.  Which seems unfair because I own most of them.
    You do not have permission to post to this forum
    It appears you are not allowed to view what you requested.  You might contact your administrator yadda yadda.
    I have posted about this before:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17393255#17393255
    with no real answer (a threat of possible help, if you like, but with no resultant benefit.)
    My question is - how does one get help with the help forums?  I have phoned Apple's help desk and they said they could not do anything.
    I would really like to get my primary account working - it connects to the right email address, it all set up and comfortable - and it does not use my name and location as an alias (who's idea was that?  Fire that person!)
    If you know of any court of appeal, help desk support forum support line, 21-step program or anything else that might help, please tell me.  This has gone on long enough.
    I tried to do something about this from the other account but to get support for the support communities you have to be able to post to them.
    "That's some catch, that Catch-22"
    "It's the best there is."
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    PG.

    Seventy-one -  To my knowledge, I have been a model citizen.  And not impertinent of you at all - a very reasonable question.  All words have been 1-3 or 5+ letters long, I certainly have not received any communication (that I have been able to find) that indicates a transgression.  And there is another question - which castle, and are you saving for the deposit?
    Bleach  - other user name is "Ploughguy".  But I was more after a means of contacting those with influence myself.  Most fora like this have a contactable moderator or administrator.  I am rather amazed that one needs the intercession of the saints.  Such as St Roger...
    Roger - This situation.  The "can't look-can't post" situation.  It has been (not) happening for some time.
    I previously raised the issue here .
    BTW, I created yet another ID because I was not careful enough when I set up the second ID and it defaulted to "NameFromSuburb".  This is OK for johnfromnewyork but a huge privacy risk if you are ranulffromlittlestorpingintheswuff - an unusual name in a small place.  I do not know how that default got through the peer review. Basically it says "ranulf has the good taste to own an Apple something which is portable and fenceable, and he lives not far from here".  I have suggested to the privacy people that it is a very bad idea.  And yes, I realise my alias is already out there.  I have asked the privacy people to blow it away.

  • This is my first post. I would like to thank you all for all of the information you have posted on this forum. It has been most helpful to a Newbee. I have a MBP17 w/trackpad and click bar from '08. I need a bigger HD, how big can I go? THX

    This is my first post, but I have been following this forum for a while and you have all been very helpful in my MacEducation. I have a MBP17 10.6.8 w/6GB ram from '08. I need to upgrade my HD from 200GB. I would like to go as big as I can and would appreciate any experiance you've had. Could I go 750GB or 500 GB @ 7200 rpm.  Should I upgrade to Lion before I swap the drive out?  Thanks, Johnny

    Hi Johnny,
    Yes you can do the 750 or 500, 5400 or 7200. Just make sure it is 2.5" SATA and 12.5mm high or less (there is at least one HD out there that is 15mm high and will not work).
    Lion: I don't know that it matters much either way, just don't do them at the same time. That way, if there are issues, you have a much better chance of troubleshooting one major change instead of two.

  • How to effectively ask a question on this forum

    Ok, so this'll take a little explaining. I was kinda bored over my lunch break, so i decided I'd write a general reference for how to post well on this forum. I realize that many people aren't gonna read this the first time they post, but i thought it would be a good thing to reference when replying to people who post a poor question.
    _10 Ways to Post a Good Question on this Forum_
    _1) Write a descriptive subject line_
    This is the first thing that people see, and it influences how they read a question. Subjects like "Java error" tell people nothing about your problem. Subjects like "How to implement a SAX parser for use in multiple classes" are infinitely more useful.
    _2) Don't use phrases such as URGENT or HELP ME!!! or IT'S DUE IN AN HOUR!!!!_
    The people on this forum don't have the same priorities as you, and therefore don't care if your problem is urgent. In fact, they find it rude to assert that your problem should be solved before somebody else's just because you procrastinated. They also don't pleas for help too fondly. Typically posters who write this sort of phrase in their post has given up and become helpless, making it very difficult to guide them to the answer. Also, keep the caps lock off. THERE IS NOTHING MORE ANNOYING THAN ALL-CAPS POSTS. IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE YELLING, and people will make you aware of how it annoys them.
    _3) Dont post your homework assignments asking for "teh codez"_
    You will get flamed like none other for this sort of question. You may get codes, but when you submit them to your instructor, you may get suspended or expelled (depending on your school's cheating policy). The people on this forum are more advanced than you in Java, and can make it painfully obvious to your instructor that you cheated.
    _4) Write in normal English_
    Think of this forum as your supervisor or instructor, you want to sound professional and convey your question effectively. SMS speak or any other sort of abbreviation of the English language becomes difficult to read, and many people on this forum won't even try. This forum is filled with professionals in the Java world, and they are accustomed to reading true English (full sentences).
    _5) Don't be helpless_
    This forum is here mainly to help with specific problems, not to teach you Java. If you don't know where to start, a person is most likely going to tell you to write the solution out on paper first, breaking it down into small steps that can be accomplished by the computer.
    _6) Do your research_
    Many of the questions posted can be solved with a quick Google search. You should check a few places before you even post a question. They include: this forum (do a forum search), Google (do a Google search), the API's (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/), and the Java Tutorials(http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/)
    _7) Post code and errors with your question_
    The answer to your problem is in the error messages and the code. Instead of asking a general question about for loops, post the code that you have written and the error info that you get. When asking a question it is IMPERATIVE that you have tried to do it your own way, because the people on the forum mostly won't do it for you, they'll only point out where you have done it wrong and try to help you fix it. Don't paraphrase your error messages, because there are subtleties in the actual messages that you may unknowingly edit out.
    _8) Don't Multi-post_
    It is rude to post the same question multiple times or in multiple places in the this forum. This is for the same reason as #2, it makes it seem that you think your problem is more urgent or important than others' problems.
    _9) Don't resurrect dead threads_
    If a thread is 3 years old, nobody is going to remember it, so make a new thread to ask your question. If you have a question about something in the old thread, reference it through a hyperlink.
    _10) Take it easy_
    As long as the people in the forum see that you're legitimately trying to help yourself, they'll help you as much as they see fit. The biggest problem that newbies have is they rely on the forum to spoonfeed them the info, and it's not going to happen. They'll either get flamed or ignored. The people on the forum aren't trying to find "fresh meat to flame", they legitimately want to help you, and they'll typically give you fair warning if you're doing something annoying or unorthodox.

    There does seem to be a way to sticky posts, but I think only mods and admins have the power to do it. There's one over on the Generics forum : http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=316
    I've been trying to add a pseudo-signature to my posts as far as possible, with a link to a page which pretty much covers this stuff, only it's on JavaRanch:
    People on the forum help others voluntarily, it's not their job.
    Help them help you.
    Learn how to ask questions first: http://faq.javaranch.com/java/HowToAskQuestionsOnJavaRanch
    But I've had a couple of occasions where the OPs thought it was directed at them and they got a tad upset :)
    And without hyperlinks, I'm not quite sure how many people actually take the pains to go to that page.
    Ah well, no one can say I didn't try.

    I lost my IPhone 4S this morning and want to increase my cloud storage so I can back it up when it finds a signal and then remotely erase it...I'm assuming the worst that whoever finds is will not call me or want to return the phone. I went to icloud but it only govers me options to increase storage from my iPhone or a synced computer (mac or PC).

    If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it.  You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does.  If it does, you will get an email informing you.

  • What are rules of etiquette for this forum?

    I have posted a few basic questions in recent times about java programming issues. Right now I am using JBuilder2005. I am relatively new to the Java progarmming community, and I don't know if JB2005 is considered evil over say, WebSphere, Eclipse, etc. But responses I have received for my basic questions (which I ended up finding my own answers to) have been less than friendly.

    I have received responses similar to this for other posts where people are conscientiously steering me in the wrong direction. Well, I am not posting to ruffle any feathers, but since I have not seen any specific rules on what to post/not post other than no disruptive stuff, my question is if this forum is like a Pay forum and/or an anti Borland forum (vs a forum for exchanging information on Java programming).
    While I'm at it I am trying to use a DataExpress control from JB2005 to connect to an Access Database (for practice - we have Oracle but I am practicing on Access). I select the driver
    sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
    then it asks for the URL, it gives me this option in the ...:
    jdbc:odbc:MS Access Database
    so where do I add the location of the mdb file? I can't get the control to connect. I can connect to Access if I just use code and read/insert rows of data, but I want to use a DataExpress TableDataSet control so I can load it up with rows of data from a database file in a client application. I can load up an html table of data in a servlet for display . But how can I display data the same way in a client app?
    Is this forum even the correct forum for me to ask this question - or should I look for a Borland forum?

  • 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.

  • [SOLVED] Is it possible to view this forum in non-"Classic" mode?

    The reason I ask, is that I have a 24" screen & not the best eyesight, so I run 24 point fonts as default in Firefox. 
    I have learned to scroll across code boxes using the arrow keys, which I have to do very often, though this is not really a big problem.
    If there was an option to put all poster details across the top of their posts, then we could have the full width of the page to read, as it is now, there is a LOT of empty space down the left hand side of the post content.
    I had a look in my Profile page for this forum, but could not find a way to make this choice, as I can on some other forums. (Hopefully I missed something?)
    I understand that perhaps this is beyond the capability of this forum software, which if so, is unfortunate.

    Over at the ostalk.org forum, I put my questions, & tjwoosta posted some code to use with Stylish, it made the left column much narrower but at the expense of the details.
    So I asked him if it was hard to place the details under the field headings (From: Registered: Posts:) & he gave me the following:
    @namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
    @-moz-document domain("bbs.archlinux.org") {
    .postleft, .postfootleft {
    width: 80px !important;
    .postright, .postfootright {
    border-left: 80px solid !important;
    border-color: #f9f9f9 !important;
    Which I've modified by changing the two 80px numbers to 200px, & it is starting to look like their may be a solution here not far off, using Stylish.
    Users are just going to have to set the size of these two 80px numbers to suit their font size & screen resolution.  It is so easy to do.
    Also I've just learned that there may not be any need to incorporate TJ's code into Dark Grey, as you can run them both via Stylish simultaneously anyway.
    Just have to get rid of these white rectangles that can turn up below the email line & above that of the Online/Offline?
